I've been laughing so much today I nearly got face cramps; since the clock struck 12am this morning, there has been a neverending stream of funny-things!
First it was the ridiculous msn conversations with vaneh and tom. I was ready to sleep at 2330h, but spent the next one hour oogling at my luminiscent computer screen and bursting into periodical fits of laughter. Somehow I managed, all the while trying to stifle the sounds so I wouldn't scare anyone pottering around the house.
You see, my recent infatuation is with whistling. I am now
determined to be able to whistle a tune by the end of the year, or asap. Advertisement in the form of my msn personal message drew me a personal
shifu called Vaneh, who kindly taught me the formula of whistling.
I can't say I'm a very able disciple, though. As of now, my skills are limited to making a sound that sounds like an aeroplane toilet flushing.
- antisepti: u try sticking ur tongue against ur lower set of teeth- antisepti: shape ur lips to a rounded shape- antisepti: then blowyuhui- : that's what i'm doing to make the flushing sound - antisepti: AHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Isn't there some unwritten rule that teachers must never laugh at their pupils?
And here it is, the well-kept secret to whistling that you have all been waiting for:
- antisepti: keep ur tongue there!- antisepti: maybe u have to get ur lips to go down- antisepti: "go down"- antisepti: as in make urself look like an ape- antisepti: and blow ur air fast and hard- antisepti: PUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1- antisepti: make the opening of ur mouth smaller if the need arises
So there I was, at 12am, face lit up with the light emanating from the computer screen, looking like something that just stepped out of Ju-On, and I'm just staring at the computer trying to imitate an ape and laughing when I make shrill notes.
In response to the shifu's advice, I sprouted the most intelligent thing that occured to me at that moment.
yuhui- : AHAHAHAHHA
yuhui- : I CANT WHISTLE LA I'M LAUGHING TOO HARD
- antisepti: LOL
Of course, being the responsible shifu she was, she decided to modify the method to suit her disciple's needs...
- antisepti: got another method- antisepti: u know when u gurgle?- antisepti: do the same sound but make ur mouth smaller
...only to admit defeat to the incapability of this very student,
- antisepti: the next time i see u then teach u la- antisepti: u need extra attn (x
who has continuously been offering astounding revelations and the wittiest retorts such as,
yuhui- : AHAHAHAHAHHA
yuhui- : OH NO MY MUMMY ALWAYS SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T LAUGH TOO MUCH AT NIGHT BECAUSE YOU WONT BE ABLE TO SLEEP PROPERLY
yuhui- : AHAHAHHAHA
yuhui- : AHAHAHAH THE GURGLING ONE IS EVEN FUNNIER
yuhui- : I TRIED IT
yuhui- : AHAHAHAA
but the vaneh in her had to surface, and to my horror, MY SHIFU HAD BEEN BLUFFING ME!
- antisepti: LOL- antisepti: relax- antisepti: ur damn funny layuhui- : i'm just doing what you told me o.O
- antisepti: haha the gurgle one was rubbish- antisepti: it doesnt work
But there I was, continuing to delude myself.
yuhui- : well if i blow fast and hard i make an EVEN LOUDER flushing sound :D
yuhui- : is that an improvement?
Her response,
- antisepti: hahahahahahahhaahhah
Before I went to bed, she left me with an awe-inspiring statement, (fine, two statements)
- antisepti: actually whistling is a skill that can be mastered- antisepti: nobody is born to be able to whistle
And so goes the last words of the world's reowned whistling shifu, Vanessa Liu. There's more about the coolest, latest slang i.e. the Breaking of Convention of the expression zomg to the word "zong" (pronounced the way it looks) in another conversation with Tom, but I think that this is enough yuhui-nonsense for now.
This post goes out to all whistling-aspirers! WHEN THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY.Let's all step up on our whistling efforts, and bring music to the world!
