The lame stuff I do when I'm bored@work :

I was sooo bored at work today..I decided to test the desk phone because I've never tried sending a text message using a desk phone before (jakun). =/
Sat there and thought of who to disturb.......

.....

*poof* the name : Nadia appeared.

Sent her some "nice" message and she actually bought it!
The next thing I knew, my colleague got a call from some guy...after some checking, he asked me : who is Udaya........(full name here). And I was like "oh shit, that's my friend's bf" Whoopss. When she didn't reply I thought she didn't bother. Mana tauuu......X)

Another person I disturbed was bb. hahahaha. Shall not go into details. =p

I'm waaayyyy too free.

Oh! oh! I almost forgot! I actually googled the word "nerd" just to see what I'll get. Wiki's description made me laugh like an idiot to myself at the office. =/
It may be long, but it's worth the read! It certainly made my day.

NERD

Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers

Characteristics of a Nerd:

The stereotypical nerd is intelligent but socially and physically awkward. In film and television depictions, nerds are disproportionately white males with glasses, braces, acne and pants highly lift up.It has been suggested by some, such as linguist Mary Bucholtz, that being a nerd may be a state of being "hyperwhite" and rejecting African-American culture and slang that "cool" white children use.However, after the introduction of the Steve Urkel character on the television series Family Matters, nerds have been seen in all races and colors as well as more recently being a frequent young Asian male stereotype in North America.

They typically appear either to lack confidence or to be indifferent or oblivious to the negative perceptions held of them by others, with the result that they become frequent objects of scorn, ridicule, bullying, and social isolation. Some nerds show a pronounced interest in subjects which others tend to find dull or complex and difficult to comprehend, or overly mature for their age, especially topics related to science, disambiguation, mathematics and technology. On the opposite end of the spectrum, nerds may show an interest in activities that are viewed by their peers as immature for their age, such as trading cards, comic books, or role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and other things relating to fantasy and science fiction. They are also stereotyped for being obsessed with Star Trek, Star Wars, and other science fiction shows or movies. Nerds are often portrayed as unfit and either obese or very thin. Nerds are also sometimes portrayed as having symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as by showing an extreme devotion to following rules.

Stereotypical nerd qualities have evolved in recent years, from awkwardness and social ostracism to a more widespread acceptance and sometimes even celebration of their abilities. This is largely attributable to the rise of the computer industry, which has allowed many "nerdy" people (most notably Bill Gates) to accumulate large fortunes and other measures of social prestige. Some measure of nerdiness is widely considered desirable, because it suggests a person who is intelligent, respectful, interesting, and able to earn a large salary. This evolution has dovetailed with waning emphasis on the social awkwardness of nerds, with more attention placed on their intelligence and academic enthusiasm.

And...Did you know?
That there was a movie entitled : Revenge of the Nerds ?
There's a genre of music called : Nerdcore ? (I wonder how does this sound like...gosh)

Last but not least...

One cannot be an authentic nerd by imitation alone; a nerd is an outsider and someone who is unable to follow trends. Popular culture is borrowing the concept and image of nerds in order to stand out as individuals.
