syko... becareful of the japanese new law...
downloading rom = offense

 

[mrfatso]

oO, i thought RSVP stands for really special veteran person or something.

Pika, if you are reading this, traveling trader is back.

 

[elixirdream]

LOL!
i think people should not use ancronym/abbreviation on their wedding card
because not all of us would know what Répondez s'il vous plaît stands

i can guess from repondez = respond.. but not the rest

 

[syko5150]

lol i never read the newspaper/or watch the news i dont care about whats going on in the world =P i just live my life how i want haha...and i have a hard drive for my wii with over 100 games on it lol oh well idc really whats the fun in life if you dont take risks =D and lol mrfatso

Edit:elixer actually RSVP is very common in a lot of places in the world on invitations for anything people will put something like please RSVP by so and so date.

 

[mrfatso]

wait...
Répondez s'il vous plaît is a French phrase that means "Please, answer" ?

If so, why not, just say, please replied by XXX date or something?

I mean that phrase just sounds so complex when a simple" could you reply by this date" would have suffice and most of us would have understood it immediately instead of googling or checking a dictionary.

 

[elixirdream]

i know RSVP is a very common word
i have seen it for many years

is just sometimes not everyone knows what RSVP mean..
just like LOL...
not everyone would know what LOL means
right?

 

[syko5150]

lol in the US everything says RSVP on invitations even for birthday parties ahaha i guess in the US people are just used to seeing RSVP and know what it means =p and i didnt make the invitations i just sent them out but we need to know by the 20th of march so we can book all the hotel rooms and flights.

actually i think LOL is universal these days and its probably the most used thing on the internet/cellphones

 

[elixirdream]

It sure is but if you start typing LOL for non english speaker
they will be like wtf is LOL
anyway, thats the beauty of internet and language

actually talking about RSVP
i remember i read an article on explaining that
however, thanks to you! RSVP will be in my mind for the rest of my life

 

[mrfatso]

nah, you wish, my supervisor yesterday asked me what NPC stands for, and in a video game no less.. i thought by now, everyone who played games would have heard of npc and know what that is?

 

[elixirdream]

NPC :

is always not really the case
we should not view things in that way
common sense doesn't work
our common sense and other's would be different
do agree?

just like CNY... who the hell knows?
i guess only m'sian and singaporean knows what it stands for

 

[syko5150]

well actually you dont really hear the term NPC in video games other then online games and actually i know a lot of non english speaking people who say lol all the time

 

[elixirdream]

LOL again

its common yet it could be some HUH kind of thing ....

damn... thunder but rain yet to come.....

 

[syko5150]

i was in the US a few weeks ago and there was massive rain storms and a tornado lol

 

[mrfatso]

ya i guess so, well that just mean that i will be bz with last min stuff tomorrow, adding the rest of the definition for everything

 

[elixirdream]

ah.. i read the news... some snowstrom struck washington fewdays ago..

actually... seeing rain is a good sign
because february is usually known for being the dry month or being hot..
i guess the same applies for SG

 

[mrfatso]

rain is great, make it good for sleeping

 

[elixirdream]

true...
we usually complain.. chinese new year being damn hot..
which is the actual fact.....

chinese new year = HOT ....

 

[mrfatso]

hot day is nice for eating dessert and drinking cold drinks, while cold day makes all those hot food taste extra good

 

[syko5150]

im still not used to the lifestyle in japan everything is so different ive been here multiple times over the years but it was always like a couple weeks at a time ive been here since november. i always go and hang out at this sports bar during the day and just drink lol

 

[elixirdream]

well.. i guess the japanese chicks will drool all over you..
right? am i right? lol...

mrfatso,
