Boredom Is My New Best Friend

I am bored. In Malay, that would mean, "Saya bosan" and in Cantonese, "Ngo ho sien". Yup, i think you get the point.

Today, i came into the office and found out that the IT geeks have decided to block Twitter. Great. Now that i no longer can stalk random Twitter accounts, what the hell am i supposed to do to kill time and to take a break from writing articles? Thank heavens i can still do some online window-shopping. So i clicked into one of the blogshops i visit daily and was greeted with this:

"This website has been blocked. The reason that you have been block is 'Porn' category is not allowed in your policy."

Yeah, dresses, tops and leggings are totally porn-ish. When people see them, all they think about is ripping the clothes off and having sex. Fools. And it only gets worse from there.

They've blocked Tumblr because it's a 'Social Networking' site and i just found out that they've blocked AXN Asia's official website because it's in the 'streaming media' category (just because the site allows users to stream full episodes of TARA doesn't make it a streaming media site, you dimwits!). Mind you, my job involves writing about AXN Asia's programs!

One of my last hope for entertainment was to look for a certain guy on GTalk whom i layan when I have writer's block and have nothing to do. Surprise, surprise...GTalk's blocked too!

So, besides the awesome emails from friends, today has been an absolute bore. So much so that i went to check out a bunch of cook books and instead of photocopying, decided to type out all the recipes i'm keen on trying.

Whoever who suddenly decided to block these sites, i don't want to friend you.
