so much laughter.

alot of rib-tickling funny events have just transpired in the last hour or so.

while i am meant to be prioritising my research at this given moment in time, i must tell you of what happened while my memory is still fresh.

. so one. hasini comes to school and we have lunch together. shangari joins us and we all sit eating happily. this dude called abheetha (notice the similarity in names?) comes and as i see him coming, i tell hasini of his arrival by dancing like him. he notices and gives me the 'im watching you' finger movement. i giggle, we converse about other random stuff. backstory- huge on the sri lankan social calendar is the avurudu gathering the lankans are having this friday. the fact that its been some time since the actual date has past is of no consequence, obviously, coz these people be running on their own unique time. yanyway, so dances are being prepared and all that jazz. so we're drifting and out of conversation, and then from some tangent, i make a song to the tune of Single Ladies. it goes, 'all the Singhalese, all the Singhalese, now put your hands up'. obviously we were trying to rope hasini in for help to take the song further but she doesnt know what the hand movements are called, so our song got stuck at the first line.

never mind. i made another joke. apparently abheetha is the president of something, and the conversation was touching on papare as a hand movement (yeah it wasnt going with the song) and i go, 'o, he's not the President. he's the Paparesident'. i thought it was heelarious.

. two. i told hasini and shangari a joke id just heard on the internets (specifically daniel radcliffe, who's taken it from someone else) and asked them, 'how dyou kill a circus'? i wont tell you what the answer is, because that will take out all the fun from the actual answer of the joke, which is, by the way, hilarious. so anyway, hasini answers 'put abeer in it'.

i found that hilarious. hasini didnt think it was that funny. i bet my mum thinks its hilarious.

. then shangari and i go up to the library to look for a place for her to sit and do work. while we're looking, we spot zi. i tell shangari to take him from one side, i take him from the other side, and we both 'boo' him. considering he's watching the walking dead, he's scared. so we stand around there and talk to him for a good 10 minutes. something happens, i diss shangari, she goes, 'fvck you'. i reply, 'no thank you, id rather not'. ziyan, trying to change the topic goes, 'so, what time did you come?' i fell onto the floor laughing and shangari i assume was also tryina catch her breath somewhere else.

. i told ziyan my joke. his answer was, 'set all the elephants free. they'll trample everyone and everyone will die'. talk about being realistic. talking of elephants, i asked him if he'd watched the trailer for water for elephants, to which he said no. and i was like homg you must see it. yanyway, instead of hearing water for elephants, he heard water four elephants. i had to explain the real meaning in malay by differentiating between untuk and empat, which now that you think about it, also sound a little similar.

. we said bye to zi and let him be with his zombie movie. as we were coming out, we see sachoo (one of my heroes) and iromal and stop to chat with them. so backstory. earlier on, having lunch with the lankans and stuff, i propositioned a dare, that we get an indian to go into the thick of the crowd, and scream, WE WON THE WORLD CUP BITCHES. shangari and i laughed our head off at the thought of the disaster this would be, and i mentioned how they'd start throwing watalappan at us. hasini was like, no, thats too precious, they'll throw themselves at you instead. back to the present. so iromal starts talking to some sri lankan girl in singhala and the three of us-sachoo, shangari and i start miming the lankan accent and pretend singhalese talking. then i tell sachoo about the dare and ask him if he'd do it. he says, 'yeah, ill wear a sri lankan jersey on top, then scream out WE WON THE WORLD CUP BITCHES, and then rip my jersey to reveal an indian jersey underneath'. and then he goes, 'and then ill run really fast to sunway college, and all the lankans will be chasing me in their sarongs, saying 'he went left, left machan. they're be hundreds of them behind me!' i told him id provide the indian jersey.

. so much laughter no?

EDIT:
. so i realised something. the one person who has a name similar to mine turns out to be, yes you guessed it, a boy.

. i told the joke to a number of people. i talked to a semi-arab guy, and his solution for killing the circus was to chop everybody's head off. typical.
i told the same joke to a guy who likes heavy metal. he said 'why would i want to kill a circus?' while this may seem logical, it was not the answer i was looking for. and then he said something, but i forgot because i was too busy noticing his silver skull ring. he always smiles at me though.
i told the same joke to 2 engineering kids. one said 'release a rat into the elephant's cage'. to which another responded, 'or a cockroach'. to which the first said, 'no dude elephants are afraid of rats'. to which the second kid responded, 'i didnt know that'. and that was that. but i still brought the topic to what the joke actually was.
