end of random conversations.

today while crossing the road i took a longer look at this guy in a lambo.
of lately i've been seeing a lot of lambos on the road and i'll try and remember their car plate number because how is it that everyone is owning a lambo in tiny singapore?!
i looked at him (and his car), because
1) he stopped right next to a BMW and it's ironic cos the BMW was making so much noise before it stopped for the red light. lambos can be quiet too :)
2) i was looking at the car plate.
3) he's a young man! ok actually i've never really peeped into a lambo to see who the driver is. why then the special attention? see point 5.
4) the colour of the lambo is like that of a prototypical porche. usually lambos are yellow, white or black. very seldom people get the common silverish colour.
5) he had his car roof retracted. this is where i started to frown. a lambo is as close to the ground as it can get. (those of you who watched gem of life should know, when you see yatong getting out of a lambo) why would anyone retract the car's roof in singapore? not only is the weather so hot and might damage the car seats, but the toxic emissions from other vehicles can reach the driver much more easily!


to end off this post,
prof bao: "the glottal stop is the poorest of all poor things."
something like that.
prof bao looks really happy when he teaches phonetics.
and he actually cracks jokes about the phonemes! haha.
