Did You Know?



My brother showed me a gift he received from NUS (National University of Singapore). It's a planner book created by the Dentistry students over in the NUS. The book looks quite cool and inside the book, there are 2 pages of interesting facts. How many of the following do you know?

1. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

2. The person who invented the electric chair was a dentist.
3. Humans are the only primates that don't have pigment in the palms of their hands.

4. Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history.
Spades- King David
Clubs- Alexander the Great
Hearts- Charlemagne
Diamonds- Julius Caesar


5. Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.

6. If you put a raisin in a glass of champagne, it will keep floating to the top and sinking to the bottom.
7. The fingerprints of koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene.
8. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
9. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.

10. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

11. The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

12. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.


13. Right-handed people live. on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

14. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

15. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.

16. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
17. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

Stop Telling Me You're Not Free

His favourite quotes:

1. 我很忙啊!不要吵我!(I'm very busy! Please do not disturb me!)
2. 你以为我很得空啊?(You think I'm very free?)
3. 不要来烦我。。。(Do not disturb me!)
4. 我很忙。我有很多东西要做。(I'm very busy. I have a lot of work to do.)

Even when I asked him why does he always use these quotes, he still replied me with the above utterances...How am I supposed to communicate with you if you keep telling me these things? Sigh... incurable...

别乱认妈

Last week. My mum's phone rang.

Mum : 喂? (Hello)
Caller: 妈!! 救我!!救我!! (Mum! Help me!! Help me!!)

Mum smelled something fishy.

Mum : 你是谁?(Who are you?)
Caller: 我是你儿子啊!妈!快救我!(I'm your son! Mum! Help me quick!)

Notice that the caller refused to tell my mum his name.

Mum : 你从哪里打来的?(Where did you call from?)

Again, the caller refused to answer my mum's question.

Caller: 妈!快来救我!!我是你儿子啊!难道你要见死不救?(Mum! Come and save me! ! I'm your son! Do you wish to leave your son and see him die?)

My mum hang up the phone and dialed my brother's handphone. He answered my mum's call with a groggy "hello". As expected, it's just a fraud or a hoax.

No Way!

Today's mood= low.
Today's luck= low.

Hate it when my luck's low although it's part and parcel of life. It totally spoils my mood.

Today's bad luck report:
1. Fell flat and hard on the tar ground.
2. The 1st thing I saw in my mailbox is my supervisor asking to see our chapt. 2 draft by the end of this March. Worse is, I have no confidence of finishing it in time.
3. All the work load which is getting heavier.
4. That girl better don't scare off my brother by her weird behaviour. Another weird word regarding my family and I don't think I can really tolerate it. Better Beware.
5. Embarrassing moment. Sorry to say that but I really hate it when people match make me to another person. I don't mind making friends but not match making PLEASE!!
6. It's you again, girl. Please do not take people's pictures without their consent like those paparazzi and post them online. Don't make me take a picture of you cleaning the toilet and post it online. It's not like the pictures you took has any meaning at all. =.='''

Please ignore this blog. Bad mood. Just want to vent anger. That's all.

Christmas Day

It's Christmas!! And I met Hsuen Huey (again). We went to Sweet Dynasty with Yen Fang and her boyfriend. Finally I get to meet her boyfriend. Hmm...her boyfriend's not bad. Looks like those gentleman type with a sense of humour at times.

Mum thought I was going to go to church when I said I'm going to meet Hsuen Huey and Yen Fang on Christmas day (Huey and Fang are both Christians). Frankly speaking, it's quite frustrating to see mum jumping into that conclusion. Probably she still thinks I want to be a Christian when in fact, I just want to remain a free thinker.

But then, so what if I've been to a church or a mosque or whatever? I've been to a church when Huey was baptized but it was just because I want to attend the ceremony which Huey (one of my best friends) thinks is an important event to her. Partly it's also because I'm curious what they do when one is being baptized. But I still have no intention of becoming a Christian. I didn't pray when they are praying nor do I donate money to the church when they did. I just watched.

So what if I put my hands together as if I'm praying? It'll probably be an act of respect (like you have to take off your shoes when you enter a mosque or when you take joss sticks when you're a Christian). I'm not going to really pray or what (no offense to Christians) because I still have no intention of becoming a Christian.

Many friends of mine have been telling me about the Christianity (or some have urge me to become one). I respect the religion like I respect Buddhism. I've thought a lot through the years and I've already concluded years ago that I want to remain a free thinker. A free thinker who respects every religion even though I'm not a follower. A free thinker who is allowed to learn the different religions. I really don't wish to see mum jumping to the conclusion that I want to be a Christian nor restrict me from learning the different religions I'm interested to know. I can assure you I really just want to remain a free thinker.

If I have not decided that I just want to be a free thinker, I would already have become a Christian by now (judging by the exposure to Christianity and Christian friends I have). Don't worry. I'm a free thinker and in the years to come, I know I will still be a free thinker.

Sorry to disappoint you friends if you have any intention of converting me into a Christian.

Anyway, I'm glad I managed to finish my tenancy agreement in the afternoon. Although it was mostly cut and paste work :P, overall I'm quite satisfied with it. At least i finished the thing and that means I have one thing less to worry about! I just hope it can pass as an agreement and that it wont pose any problems to me later on.

Would love to visit Santa Village one day...The day when I'm rich! XD

Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve! Love Christmas eve! And it's my parents' wedding anniversary. Nice right? But I feel quite out of place being at home. You know...don't want to be a lamp post..hahaha!

That's why I went to Hsuen Huey's house with Koi Kent. Asked him to give me a ride since he wants to go to her house. Thanks for the ride la! Well, at the same time, I can visit Hsuen Huey's parents. They are still so nice. We chatted for some time while waiting for Hsuen Huey's return.

It's been a long time since I met Hsuen Huey. Miss my pighead a lot! LOL! She and Koi Kent are still the same. They still like to bicker with me. They don't even give me 'face'...but surprisingly, I miss bickering with my friends here A LOT! XD
Is it usual to love bickering with your friends? I dunno....hehe!

It's Christmas Eve! Tomorrow's Christmas! I wonder if I can meet Hsuen Huey and Yenfang tomorrow night. Yen Fang's bringing her boyfriend along. Never thought she would bring her boyfriend to meet us so early. I thought the earliest we can see her boyfriend is during the coming CNY. I'm not complaining. lol! But I'll have to plan and see if I can make it tomorrow night.

I think that's all for tonight! Good night and MERRY XMAS, everyone!!

4 More Days to Christmas

I've been doing a lot of painting these days. It's the end of the year and the 20+ years old house needs a new look. And so I'm given this task to make it look 'new'. Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't paint the whole house but I did paint those little stuff like the doors, etc. LOL!!

It's quite tiring when you're doing painting ALL DAY but anyway, it's fun. A lot better than staying in PJ and brooding over unhappy thoughts. ;)

Anyway, 4 days to Christmas!!! Yay!!! *counting down*

5 More Days to Christmas

I'm finally home. I'll be staying here for only 10 days before going back to PJ but I don't mind. At least I'm home now. I'm home for Christmas!! Yay!!

Whatever problems yet to be solved will have to wait till after Christmas! Well, I can't help but feeling more relax (and more cheerful! Yes!) when I'm home. You might think it's because I'm lazy. Whatever! :P LOL!!

5 more days to Xmas! Argh! Can't wait!!

Christmas gives me peace! V^—^V

To The Beach



Finally get to go to the beach!! I've been waiting for the day to the beach since the exam week. haha! Sorry roommate, I went without you since it was a sudden plan by my parents. We went to the beach which are very very familiar to us. It was one of the destinations I visited most (after Genting Highland, which remains at the top of my "the place I visited most" list) -- Desaru.

We always went to Desaru when my dad would borrow tents from his school. I still remembered how the tents are usually 'holey'. Imagine how it's like when it rains... >_<

This is just too cute!! Daddy & Mummy playing "Indian dance". XD

Reminiscing Sweet Memories


To be apart of a family like mine

is so divine
where love is shown
hurt is shared
our love for each other is never impaired

we talk
we laugh
we cry

but we are a family
and we do it all together
for as a family
we do it all as one

you hurt one
you hurt all
and as a family unit
we will all stand tall

for we are family
a family full of strength
a family full of love
a family no one can touch
that' s why I love my family so much.
