+ sentence padding.

Bonjourno.

This is often a source of much entertainment.

The words that pad out sentences.


Over the past few years my mother and I have noticed, and compiled a small list of phrases and sayings that are often used to fill up a sentence. If you are rather oblivious, or are a padder yourself, here is a small compilation of the ones that I can think of at this point in time.


  • I'm telling you...
  • But look...
  • At the end of the day
  • When it comes down to it
  • Do you know what I'm saying
  • ...and all that
  • The fact is/The point of the matter is
  • When push comes to shove...
...and that's about it at this moment, I'll probably update it later, when I have small and irrelevant epiphanies. 
But, look, at the end of the day, the fact is, they are utterly pointless, and all that... Save your words, save time! Surely you could abbv. your language, to a simple BTW, LOL, or JKS, even that's better. But don't confuse your listener by cluttering your sentences. It's aurally exhausting.

+ revamp

aloha.

Naturally, everything must be redone, much like the iPhone, you think you're set, but there's always something better, and better, and better...
..which is why observatory commentary has had a facelift, Melbourne style, so just the botox.
So really, what this is very subtly pointing out is that I changed it, hoping that now it looks real 'hip' and 'kool', yes, indeed with a 'k', that it may appeal to a broader spectrum of readers, however in retrospect now, I may have in fact limited it...

So quick, read, foxes!

+ miraculous masterchef.

Mahalo.


Look, being an asian in year twelve is hard okay! Not much blogging time is allocated.
This will be very brief.


Regularly, my fathers arrival time varies, or is 'subject to change' if you're speaking in airport language. But recently the sound of gravel crushed under his cars is appearing earlier and earlier...to the point where he now routinely waltzes through the door no later than 7.30pm. 
And then it suddenly dawned on me, like gravity to Newton. 
MasterChef was on at 7.30. My father made MasterChef his priority.
Oh jolly good.
So it's reasonable to assume we don't see much of him in the off season...
