Samuel Liew’s Blog

I have just finished shifting house 2 weekends ago, but there are still some construction work going on. My aunty just bought a new 36″ LCD TV and new set of sofa for the living room. I have posted pictures of the layout of the house in my facebook, taken while the construction work was still going on.

I’m looking forward to this year’s church camp from 8-12 June as I missed the last two ones due to school. My family will be returning on the 8th early morning before I leave for the camp.

The last few weeks was quite relaxed in camp, nothing much to do except sit in the office and do whatever I want as there were no trainings.

Sometimes, when I communicate with people, I tend to use vague, general words that have a variety of meanings, or can refer to several values.

Here’s a list of what I normally use, and what I could mean by saying them:

• a while more > 30 mins
• wait > 5 mins to 1 hour
• later > it’s in my to-do list and I’ll do it when I like it
• hold on > 3-5 mins
• O.K. > I’m 70% ok with it
• I see > (Just to fill in conversation gaps)
• okay… > I doubt it / I’m thinking…
• er… > don’t bother me with this
• … (nothing said) > I’m thinking / I missed what you said / I’m ignoring you / I’m unhappy / I’m not in the mood
