Wombat from Aussie Oi Oi Oi, Czech Mate & Mama Mia Italia!, 2006/06/14 at 12:53 PM
Refer Aussie match. I wasn’t watching the first half as I was watching AXN, but I peeped at the score and found Japan leading 1-0. When AXN prog finished I told my freind “Ok, I will now watch the 2nd half. Be prepared for the Aussie revival.” He sorta scoffed at my optimism. 3 goals later and he’s lost for words.

That’s the day Patrick and I became friends, more than 2 years ago. I think we both blogged about the World Cup 2006 and he has been a frequent commenter on my blog, which some of his feedback never fails to crack me up.

In memory of Sir Wombat (as I have fondly called him), this is my eulogy for Patrick Lu, through his comments.

Wombat from All For the Love of Boy Bands, 2006/10/12 at 12:04 PM
Thereafter my fave boyband remained the Backside Boys until today. Their early songs are pure boyband songs written to drive young chicks wild with orgasm, but their later works are better and more serious.

Wombat from Hellogoodbye – Here (In Your Arms), 2006/12/29 at 2:05 PM
Speaking of Waste Life….
Little Wombat (15 yr old): Daddy, Waste Life has a brand new song out! They can sure write cool songs ah?
Wombie : What’s the song title?
Little Wombat : The Rose. Isn’t it wonderful?
Wombie : (sigh) Young lady, The Rose was originally sang by Bette Midler in 1980. The song is 26 years old! Waste Life just covered it.
Little Wombat : Impossible! I refuse to believe that!
Wombie : I suppose you’d think they wrote Seasons In The Sun too?
Little Wombat : Of course!
Wombie : *Four paws in the air*

Wombat from Asians and Their Wannabe Accents, 2007/03/28 at 3:40 PM
Gallivanter : Glad to know you love me.

Wombat from Vanessa Williams’ Bare Essentials, 2007/04/27 at 2:45 PM
In my next life I will come back as a tree trunk.

Wombat from Women’s English vs Men’s English, 2007/05/08 at 1:28 PM
LOL! See? You made me splatter my coffee all over my LCD monitor again. By the way, since you are not married, let me give you the married woman’s version :

MARRIED WOMEN’S ENGLISH
1. Yes = No
2. No = No
3. Maybe = No
4. We need = I demand
5. I am sorry = You are dead.
6. We need to talk = You are dead.
7. Sure, go ahead = You are dead.
8. Do what you want = You are dead.
9. I am not upset = You are oh so dead.
10. You’re very attentive tonight = Don’t bug me. I am very dead.

Wombat from Things Men Wish Women Knew, 2007/05/21 at 12:19 PM
Galliventer, since you are not married, statement number five has not take on a new dimension for you yet. Anyway, The Wombat will now let you in on a proven theory. If a woman ever ask you “Do you think she’s pretty” or “Does this dress make me look fat?” or questions to that effect, just remember there’s no answer to any of them. You answer yes, you are dead. You answer no, eventually you will be dead. You answer maybe, it will eventually end up as either yes or no which also mean you are still very dead.

Wombat from Things You Should Never Say to a Woman, 2007/06/01 at 11:27 PM
I will abstain from commenting on this one, even though I have 20 years’ worth of comments to submit. Also due to the following reason :
1) I am typing this comment in a hotel room in KL right now while on a family vacation.
2) The missus is looking over my shoulder as I type this.
3) She has also just read my Womens’ English posting on my blog.
Help me. I am going to be a dead man.

Wombat from Longtime Singlehood, 2007/06/13 at 10:08 PM
You are only 29. You have every reason to stay single. Me now 44. I became un-singled at 24. Not that I am regreting it now, but sometimes I wish I have stayed single longer. (Yes dear, you can take your Fist Of Death out of my nostril now.)

Wombat from Kota Kinabalu Weather Forecast, 2007/07/13 at 8:29 AM
No wonder you do look a bit out-of-sorts in the photos I have seen from other bloggers. I say this because you were not seen pole dancing like before….

Wombat from Special announcement – Gallivanter is out of action, 2007/07/28 at 3:03 PM
Oh my gawd. Tell him to get well soon, and keep his hands off the nurses.

Wombat from Woman on Top, 2007/08/13 at 6:05 PM
Okay, Galli says to put heel behind leg and do this and do that— OUCH! Galli, please call 911. I am stucked.

Wombat from Lying in Relationships, 2007/08/30 at 12:55 PM
I can imagine in 10 years time…
Mel: Galli dear, Does this dress make me look fat?
Gallivanter: (Oh sh*t! I remember Wombat mentioning something about this question 10 years ago. The problem is I forgot what’s the correct answer! HELP!)

Wombat from New Straits Times – Gym Bugs (Mel Appears in the Article), 2007/10/03 at 5:05 PM
Yup. I was reading NST last night and when I got to that photo I said “Mama mia! Is that Mel???” out loud, and the missus asked “Who is Mel?” and then she saw the photo and she said “I see. What is she to you? Who is she? How come you know her name? Out with it, insect!”
Note to self : Never ever say any woman’s name out loud in front of one’s wife.

Wombat from Signs of a Woman, 2007/12/10 at 12:38 PM
Wombie : “Amen.”
MrsW : *winds up Fists Of Death*

Wombat from What is Your Phobia?, 2007/12/11 at 9:57 AM
Heights, worms, spiders, wife.
MrsW : “Hoi!”

Wombat from It’s Called Relationship, Not Ownership, 2007/12/17 at 5:07 PM
Wombat : Cayang, I feel owned, I need to speak to you and explain to you gently, that I am the owner of my life.
MrsW : No problem. Talk to me.
(Scenes there after censored due to extreme violence and blood and gore)

Wombat from Women Think About Sex Too!, 2008/03/17 at 9:14 PM
Wombat looks at MrsW with an odd look….
MrsW : WHAT????

Wombat from Sabahan Bloggers Gathering 2008 (SBG08 Review), 2008/08/12 at 11:07 AM
The “Sabah – Land of beauties” photo is precisely the reason why Wombie did not attend the SBG this year. Mrs Wombat saw the photo on Sunday night and mumbled : “You CANNOT attend next year’s too.”

HIS LAST COMMENT.

Wombat from Anwar, Good Luck with the Election, But, if You Don’t Win, Here’s What You Could Apply for, 2008/08/26 at 11:14 PM
You see the problem with our education system? It produced people who does not even know the proper abbreviation for Assistant! The People has sent The Message tonight. We shall overcome!

Dear Sir Wombat aka Patrick,
It was truly an honor for having you grace this blog of mine, leaving me in stitches with your comments. You will indeed be sorely missed by me. May you rest in peace my friend.

Daniel aka Gallivanter
