Cousins, best friends, roomates...

As cousins, best friends and current roommates in Taipei, Taiwan... this blog chronicles the everyday happenings of our (incredibly exciting) lives, providing us with an excuse to talk about ourselves, an opportunity to look busy when we need to, and more importantly to remind us of the jokes we keep forgetting.

Lovely Chocolates

Hello! Alison,


Receive your greeting with thank you :P

Although I have separated birthday parties around recent weekends, it was still out of my plan. Some friends arrange a surprising party to me tonight,therefore, I can not be SC tonight, and cancel it.. I feel a little bit guilty, sorry! But I am sincerely glad to have you all lovely chocolates to stay with me / to send me greetings. Thank you!
The more parties I have, the more weight I get @_@ Not Good! I can't image I have gotten weight 2kgs within only 2days, +_+...

PS: it is time to review English for this Wednesday's encounter, so chat with you next time and wish you a nice night. Janice :-)

Yes.. it IS time to review...

Don't drink and blog...

So it's 4:38am and I am still up after a night of drinking regular coke at Luxy.  I was pondering the many reasons why not to drink alcohol and decided to do an internet search on the topic.  Among many good reasons, I also found this gem:

"I think people should never drink and drive many healthy and young people have lost there lives do to dinking and drinking!"'

So true... soooooo true.

Murse or satchel?

Looking at a profile on Plentyoffish.com...

Alison:  Ok, take a look at this picture and tell me... is this a 'murse'?
Claire:  Oh... that's a tough one.  It's like a cross between a 'murse' and a fanny pack.
Alison:  I think it might be a satchel.
Claire:  Yeah... haha... Indiana Jones has one.  Send me that picture and I'll send it to a friend of mine. 
Alison:  Ok, why?
Claire:  He's a man-bag expert. He bought a Prada 'murse' in Italy... we teased him MURSEilessly about it...
Alison:  Hahaha....
Claire:  (Falling over from laughter) bahahahaaaa....

A Cup of Drink

Seen on random dating website profile:
"Ideal First Date - A Cup of Drink"

Claire:  What the hell is a "cup of drink"?
Alison:  It's better than a cup of food...
Claire:  ...or cup of shit...
Alison:  Yeah I was going to say that. 
Claire:  ... or cup of cement...
Alison:  It's better than a cup of bread...
Claire:  Cup of bread!! I LOVE cup of bread!!
Alison:  Me too!
Claire:  And it's better than "plate of drink" too.  You have to be quick with that one...

Train Number 2

On the way to HsinChu:
Claire:  Is there a toilet nearby?  I don't want to... you know... use train number two.
Alison:  Yeah... that would be unfortunate.

On the way back:
Claire:  Thank god I didn't have to use train number two.
Alison:  Yes but you did use train number one.
Claire:  Yeah totally... I rode that one a lot tonight.

Wood Chipper

Watching CSI one night...
Alison:  Ew, ew, ew... I could never kill myself in a wood chipper.
Claire:  Would you rather die in a fire or in a wood chipper?
Alison:  Well, in a fire I guess, because you'd die from smoke inhalation.
Claire:  But what if you didn't... what if you were, like, IN the fire.
Alison:  What d'you mean?  Don't people always die from the smoke?
Claire:  Well, the smoke is, like, at the top... and you're, like, at the bottom.  IN the fire.
Alison:  You mean like if you jumped into a camp fire?
Claire:  Yeah, like if you were a witch.
Alison: Hmmm... I'd really rather not die.
Claire:  Yeah, I guess.  Especially if you had to go feet-first into the wood chipper...

"A"

Dear Alison,
I truly want you to be happy, but I will not allow you to marry a guy who spells the Canadian "eh" as "A."
Love Claire

Anatidaephobia


Alison:  Did you know anatidaephobia is the fear, that some time, somewhere, some how, a duck is watching you...?
Claire:  If it were true, that would make the duck a 'peking' duck... get it? (Insert hysterical laughter here.)

G-String Exam

(Overheard on the way back from the gym)
Claire:  You'll have more free time once you've finished writing the GRE.
Alison:  You mean GMAT.
Claire:  GRE, GMAT, G-STRING... what's the difference?
Alison:  I'd probably pass the G-STRING exam... oh wait, maybe not.  "What?  Cellulite?  Fail!!"
Claire:  Yeah, Asia is not the place to do the G-STRING exam.  But you have a great chance of passing in Texas... in terms of the competition...

Breaking the ice

It was driving me a bit crazy to have an open blog with no posts yet, so I thought I would just dive in and get it over with.  Besides, I'm supposed to be studying right now and this is a perfect way for me to procrastinate.  It's 10am Tuesday morning, and I'm sitting here at the table drinking coffee and eating pumpkin seeds.  Sumo is biting my ankles as usual and I'm trying to ignore him so as not to give him the reaction he desires, but it hurts!
You just came out of your room (yes, it's 10am) and said: "Damn you morning... bested again!"
I think this is hilarious.
Morning in our apartment is one of my favorite times...just the combination of pj's, CNN on TV, coffee and the sound of rain outside is comforting, and I'm pretty sure I'll miss it when I'm back in Canada.  I won't miss the doorbell scaring the crap out of me (it was the gas guy) or the insane morning traffic outside our window. 
I was thinking we should title this blog 'cousins'... what do you think?  It kind of sounds like a TV sitcom, which is basically what hanging out together is like.  - Claire
