Blur

BLUR - Used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. May also be used to describe the feeling of being dazed.

SOTONG - Malay for “squid”. Used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. Presumably, it comes from the squid’s emission of a cloud of ink, hence the popular phrase, “blur like sotong.” May be used as both noun and adjective.

Am in the cluster now and half-amused, half-mad at myself because of something really blur I did! I was sorting through my handouts for my next lecture on the Internet and then pressed "print" without thinking. After I'd pressed "print", I realised that each slide would come out on a page of its own and I'd forgotten to change the settings to "print hanouts, six per page" and because I had 50 slides I panicked and ran to the printer and stopped it, though probably only after the 38th slide...

Blur blur blur blur blur.

I just realised today that I didn't have to change all the slide backgrounds as well. All the slides are black and the words are yellow and the graphs are red and I used to spend hours and hours turning everything into black and white. But because I forgot to change all the colours today, I realised that the printer turns everything into black words on a white background anyway.

I've been feeling really tired lately, so maybe that may have contributed to my blurness and my tendency to hear and misinterpret almost everything. So hope that I may become my usual bubbly self soon.
