I seem to have this habit of blogging this late.

I got my cpf form returned to me because why?! I didnt sign against my amendment - which was a cancellation of my name not in blocked letters and just rewritting it to block letters. And i had to send it back which is dumb for just a signature for that. Oh well, my bad.

Anyways! My nanny is here in singapore and i'm glad. She's like 87 years old & she still looks the same as the pictures taken 10 years back. I like her hair colour, its gold-brown & i didnt get that genes from my dad. Hahahaha!

So yes here are some interesting things i've read today:

...

A small little village in Austria

Fucking is a small settlement (population c. 150) in Austria. The village is known to have existed as "Fucking" since at least 1070. The settlement's most famous feature is a traffic sign with its name on it beside which English-speaking tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. The sign is the most commonly stolen street sign in Austria. Significant amounts of public funds are spent on replacing the stolen signs.


A museum devoted to the Penis

The Icelandic Phallological Museum in Husavík, Iceland, is a museum devoted to phallology. The museum currently has 154 specimens displayed like hunting trophies, embalmed in formaldehyde, or dried in display cases. The museum attempts to collect penis specimens from every mammal extant in Iceland, including several species that are endangered or currently extinct in Icelandic waters.


Welcome to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a village on the island of Anglesey in Wales. It is best known for having the longest officially recognised place name in the United Kingdom, and one of the longest in the world. The village's long name was contrived in the 1860s for the prestige of having the longest name of a railway station in Great Britain, and could not be considered an authentic word in the Welsh language. A translation into English would yield "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".

...

I heard of the first one long time back, but the second was just so very er, interesting. The third one, to put it in a more 'difficult' term, "welcome to the longest word in the dictionary". Try pronouncing it and i'll give you a prize if you succeed. (no, just kidding)

So yes, this is my read for today because my dad wants me to read more about the world. Goodbye.


much love
