Been branded "Professor Utonium (is that the correct name?) & the Powerpuff Girls" by Dorine after I decided to meet up with Sabrina, Clara and Tabitha (hey, their names rhyme too) at Kinokuniya; sheesh, the hazards of appearing in public with 3 young petite girls of the same height. Managed to get the paperback version of 'Word Freak - Heartbreak, Triumph,Genius and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble Players' from Kino at the same time, although I've devoured that book during my NCC Officers' Course last year; I must really like it to part with $28 for it. Sigh, buying through Amazon would probably cost less-- Kinokuniya could be the HMV of books, or is it Borders...
Here's an amazing bit on anagramming from the book that one of the pro players threw up (e.g of anagramming, ADEEFGHIRU = FIGUREHEAD and a neat one is EEIINNSSTT = INTESTINES!):

Look at the numbers 11 + 2 = 12 + 1 and voila...
ELEVEN + TWO = TWELVE + ONE
Truly amazing.

My new Nokia with its controversial styling and GUCCI operator logo has been attracting less-than-flattering comments from my colleagues, but I still like the phone. I like the splashing sounds inside my Sigg bottle as I shake it.
