Happy Birthday Mum!

Bah. Am one hour late, but nevertheless, Happy Birthday Mummy!

Sorry I forgot.

I miss you.

Tom Phat

So our theses were handed in last Friday, and being in a celebratory mood, we decided to head off to Brunswick for lunch. After spending nearly an hour looking for the restaurant, we finally found it; Tom Phat.

Tom Phat is yet another one of those quaint little cafes found in Brunswick, something in the vein of Ray, albeit with a slight Asian flavour to it.

Although we went around lunchtime, we still ordered items from their breakfast menu.

So.

This is what I had, called Uncle Ho's breakfast. Its basically a pork chop, a fried egg, and rice on a plate, although I must say that I loved the egg being so puffed up.

This here is Tom Phat Breakfast, with a choice of poached or scrambled eggs. Looks fairly basic.

And finally, Claypot Baked Eggs, which is, exactly what it is.

Did I enjoy the meal? Well, yeah, you could say so. It wasn't very spectacular, but it was a hearty meal for 13 dollars, so, not too bad, I would say.

GG

For the people who have asked me what the term 'GG' actually means, I have here a list of definitions for you, together with some examples. Again, taken from Urban Dictionary.

GG:

"Good Game"

1) A polite remark uttered after the end of a round, game, or other measured interval to indicate that a match was fair and enjoyable. Usually uttered collectively by the occupants of a game server.

e.g.

At round end:
<Volmarias> gg
<Rill-a-roni> gg
<Dagashi> gg
<Asno> gg
<Tard> gg

 

2) A condescending remark, often uttered by somebody who does not know meaning 1, and is simply repeating what others have told them.

e.g.

"OMG WUT DO U MEAN IM CHEATIN U JUST SUK FAGS HAHAHAHA GG UR SERVER IS GAY"

 

3) Overused to the point of vulgarity abbreviation intended to stand for "good game." When people say it no matter what (especially when the winners say it), it dilutes the phrase to the point of meaninglessness. They might as well just say "hahaha we kicked your asses."

e.g.

<Everyone on winning team> gg
<Cowclops> Shut the F*** up. That was NOT a good game. You f***ing slaughtered us. YOU played well, WE did not, so don't patronize us with halfassed "pleasantries" when you're really just being dingleberries.

 

4) Exclamation: A way of resignedly expressing one's own defeat or disgust with a situation. Often followed by the object in question.

e.g.

*Person 1 hits a pole*
Person 1: gg :(

 

5) (Made this one up myself, modified from 4) Exclamation: A way of laughing (good naturedly) at another person's (minor) misfortune.

e.g.

*Person 1 walks into a pole*

Person 2: Ha! Ha! GG You!

 

6) Taking it a step further from 5: Used to insult someone who has preformed an incredibly stupid act.

e.g.

*Doctor Olayer falls off edge of map.*
TFox: GG.
Olayer: STFU.

 

So many different meanings for one tiny two letter phrase. This last one here sums up the meaning for 'gg' in gaming terms, quite succinctly.

7) Phrase said at the end of a match, either online or in person. Means "Good Game", and indicates one of two things: Either it was truly a good, fairly played and close match, or one team got slaughtered.

e.g. 1

*Red team wins, 50 to 47*
Red Team: GG
Blue Team: GG

e.g. 2

*Blue team wins, 50 to 7*
Blue Team: GG!
Red Team: Shut it.

Mark's

This here is a Volcanic Pizza.

Actually, I kid. Its a half-and-half pizza, so, half Chicken Something Something, and half Volcano pizza. I liked the chicken one, but the Volcano one was a tad bit spicy ;p

Mayhaps

Since someone found it unbelievable that the word 'mayhaps' actually exists, I'll list out a few examples of how to use the word 'mayhaps'.

Taken from Urban Dictionary:

Example 1:

A term combining the best qualities of the terms "maybe" and "perhaps" into a single superior word.
Often used when planning something mischievous or pretending to be British.

"care for a spot of tea?"
"mayhaps a bit later"

Example 2:

When 'no' is too strong and 'maybe' or 'perhaps' is too weak, try this noncommittal word on for size.

"Dad, can I get a new laptop?"
"In 23.2 years mayhaps."
