400 Hundred Words Max!
By now most of you know how long winded I can get at times (ok, all the time). Even my wife thinks I can get a little too long winded with my post and sometimes it can be a bad thing. Take for instance, just a few days ago, I was doing this assignment and wrote this nice, long (well, at least I thought it was) posting and added in the mandatory assignment link and submitted it. But it kept on rejecting the submission.
Ok, now that's a first. It has never happened before. Maybe it's a glitch I say. So, I try again. The same thing happens again. Ok, now that can't be a glitch anymore. So, I check all the link and yes, it's the correct link and put in the correct way. And yes, it's also in the correct blog, I've had an embarrassing experience before of doing an assignment for the wrong blog and then made a big fuss when it was rejected ... LOL! Ok, I'm a doofus at times, so sue me :D
So after checking that it is in the right blog and all this time, I try the submit button once again and it gets rejected again. I'm pissed and start bitching loudly until wifey comes up to me and say:
'Urmmm sayang oi, this site only allows you 400 words max and you got like 1,5oo words, no wonder they reject you! Be long winded some more!'
LOL! And you know what, she was right. There I was with a post about the best web hosting plan totaling to about 1,560 words when I was only allowed 400 max! Well, so much for that post. What's with the 400 words maximum limit, huh? Limits a guys creativity ... hehehe ... Well, I guess I just got to play by the rules and so far this is by far my shortest ever post!
And trust me, I had more trouble trying to write this short post than I would from writing my normal long winded ones. But don't you guys go and get used to this cos this is a one off thing. Before you know it, I'll be back to my usual posting style soon ... hahaha ...
*Just for information purposes, this post is exactly 400 words long. I hope whoever made that silly 400 word rule is happy now!
.
58 wise words:
For a moment there, I thot I went to the wrong blog... too short a post! Well done! LOL
Yay! 1st commenter... doing the boogie now! Hahahahaha
LOL... How dare they limit your creativity??!
Although 400 words is a decent size, I might look into this...
LOL!!!!
Nessa - LOL! It was such a pain trying to write that! It's so weird that I can write 1,500 words so easily but having to write just 400, I suffer through it ... :D
Nessa - woohoo, 1st commenter!!! Hoorayyyy ....
*doing the bogie right along with you* LOL!
Jillian - Yeah, how dare they? LOL!
Emelda - It sure didn't sound funny when I was struggling to keep it at 40 hundred words though ... LOL!
Sometimes 400 words just isn't enough!
But well done, you done it!
Thank God for word limits! If not haiyoh, I'll probably be at your blog for an hour or so trying to figure out what your whole point is! Hahahaha :P J/K!
Limitation is still needed.. :)
For a sec i thought, it can't be nick's post.. hehe p.s. if it's a sponsored post, just write short2 one lah (make the 400 rule-maker happy!) LOL
its very hard to stay within a word limit.
You long winded??? Never!!! LOL!!! Your posts are always really interesting and funny. :o)
the world according to me - 400 hundred words is never enough, well for me anyway ... LOL!
But yeah, I did it!
Rozella - LOL! An hour only what, not so bad. Ok, ok, I'll try my best to keep it short as much as possible ... LOL!
Faizal - What you too? Ok, I'll keep my post as short as possible ... LOL!
Osindak - LOL! I'll have to keep that in mind from now on but I really do have problems trying to keep my postings short!
Meleah - Tell me about it. I hate restrictions ... LOL!
Tammy - Well, thank you for the compliment ... hehehe ...
Nick, 1500 words. Wow, that's some serious written *diarrhea* happening there.
:)
I just can't imagine how much you loved doing writing assignments in school!
A short post from Nick! *chuckles* Think of it this way Nick, boundaries can make you more creative, trying to get around it, rather than limiting. But good on you!
Hey Nick!
I came across your blog earlier this year, and i must say, it makes for good reading! Keep it up! =)
And no offense, but i can't help but ask.. About your old posts on the office PC shutting down by itself and the body across the road incident, were they true?
P.S: I've seen alot of things too. Not very fun, but.. Lol.
Sharon - LOL! 'Some serious written *diarrhea* happening there ... now that was funny ...
The thing is I hated having to do any writing assignments in school. Yeah, I love reading and all that but never writing ... strange how life turns doesn't it?
Haizum - Yeah, you're right in that aspect, but I'd rather not be restricted in doing anything. But I guess some rules need to be formed or we'd all be totally out of control ... but it sure wasn't easy trying to stick at 400 words or less ... LOL!
Jace Tse - Thanks and glad to have you here.
None taken and yes, those stories as much as I would have liked for them to be untrue, they did happen. And I had my buddy with me so we both couldn't have been hallucinating the same things at the same time right ... LOL!
Well, do tell. I'm always up for a good ghost story though I'd probably not sleep well for the next few nights or so ... LOL!
Haha..Nick Nick...I guess you are really good in writing and really love to write huh hehehe...but hey we love reading your posts anyway ;p
Aunty J - Not good la, just got loads of rubbish to write ... LOL!
Well, I do hope no one ever gets bored of my long postings one fine day though ...
LOL! yeah, i agreed wt nessa. is this yr shortest post? lol!
great job for getting the exact 400 words. :)
btw, u've been tagged! click here
You finally went overboard this time Nick, bet it was a hassle to cut down such a long post to 400 words! :)
Hey Nick, did you really write a post with 400 words long? Are you sure about it?
I thought you were sick or without creativity...This is not you indeed.
Please, back to your usual style soon!
I just wanted to stop by and say hi Nick. It was always hard for me to short posts too, sometimes only a few words simply won't do so I feel your pain. LOL.
Yah, you usually write these long posts. I try to keep my posts short and I have learned to summarise along the way. It's a good exercise, you may even enjoy it.
Jean - Hey, haven't seen you in a long while. It's true la, it is my shortest post in a long time ... lOL!
I've been tagged? Thanks, I'll go check it out right after this. Hope it's not too difficult ... LOL!
Mariuca - LOL! went overboard this time ... that's a good one :D Yeah, it really was. I don't think I could write short postings la ... hahaha ...
Cidao - LOL! Yes my friend it is me and not some clone here ... hehehe ... Oh don't you worry, I'll be posting those long winded posts soon enough ... hehehe ...
Gypsy - Glad someone feels my pain ... LOL! Once I start writing, I just can't stop ...
BT - I do try to keep them short and concise but like I told Gypsy, once I start I can't seem to stop. It's like I'm possessed by that evil writing spirit ... LOL!
Ha ha.. that's what I did long time ago, trying to write things so detail.. Yup, I know how suffer and desperate being rejected by the excessive piles of characters. *waiting to see how long your next posting'll be*
you should start writing a book ;-D
hi nick..ha ha so funny la reading this..you write well so keep on doing it..it they reject then you delete or make 2 or 3 post la about the same subject..hehehe
sakuralady - Yeah, imagine after writing a nice long post and I can't use it! Darn! LOL!
Don't worry, my next post will be much shorter ... hahaha
Monica - A book? Hmmm, maybe that's a good idea ... LOL!
Deana - Now that is not a bad idea at all, making my postings in 2 or 3 parts ... LOL! Like a TV series la ... hahaha ...
Wah.. never heard that one before.. having a max word limit...got to look out for that one..thanks for the heads up :)
I've update my blog! Since you like very the long winded post you have a very the long winded tag for si Spiff to do! :P Muahahaha
lady java - Well, if you're doing Smorty, they have a 400 word max limit. Just how do they expect one to be creative with 400 words, ah? LOL!
Rozella - Spiff's gonna throw a ruckus you know. LOL! Well, better him than me ... hahaha ... I'll let him know about the tag ... thanks anyway.
Wah.. for sure I DID NOT know that Nick.. thanks again for the info :)
nick,youalways came out with lots of wording.Where did you get those ideas to write?100 words is already more than enough for me to think. :P Anyway,they should thank you for writing more than 400 wordskan?
1560 words aye Nick? You must had an easy peasy thing with writing essays back in high school right?
But i think you're right about having it easy to make a 1000+ words entry than just 200 words. I feel that way too. The thing is, I got melalut too much from my main point while yours is still intact with the main topic. So i rather make it short than having people complaining of headaches reading my off topic entry. LOL!
Yalor... limit a guy creativity... cilaka indeed.
I thought I went to the wrong blog.. i have refresh and trackback from my previous hop. Totally not you. Just ignore this rule... more is always better.. hahahahha.
Lady Java - No probs, now you do know ...
sweetiepie - To be honest, I myself don't really know ... LOL! Once I start writing, the words just seem to flow and flow and I have to make myself stop or it'll go on forever ... LOL!
Carol - LOL! I tend to get side tracked from my main point all the time and end up writing an entirely different post than what I had intend to in the first place ...
Oh and I hated writing in school la, especially essays and karangan ... LOL!
Papajoneh - LOL! I thought I went to the wrong blog too :D
I'll try to ignore the limits in future ... hehehe ...
Hahahahahaa!! Oh well.. if they had limits on comments, then I'd be in trouble!! LOL!
OR maybe they do but I haven't crossed the boundaries yet! hahaha..
Oh well, I enjoy reading those posts. Especially on a Sunday afternoon like this and nothing to do. No tv to watch. One kid is asleep. Another watching transformers. And loads of long posts to catch up on!! :)
Shemah - LOL! Yeah, I guess you would.
On a Sunday afternoon like this, I'd be taking my beauty nap though ... LOL!
