Being a person of substance, of calibre(a degree or grade of excellence or worth)
In Hokkien.. It means "got ingredient".. "ooh liao"
Sigh.. After experiencing a very disappointing episode.. This is the conclusion.
If a woman marries a man of high calibre, she "tan dieo".."benefits greatly from the union"
If a woman marries a man of a lower calibre than she is, she "CHIAM!".."die lah"
To a woman, calibre means a lot. I didn't understand why most guys can be smitten with just looks alone and nothing much else. Until, a very wise lady made that Hokkien statement.
So.. You got ingredient?

I want to SCREAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!!!
It's sooo painful. I wore my heels [it's not really high(4cm?)]
Remember my new jeans? I wore it today. It's too long even after folding it. Soo.. I wore heels. I didn;t want to drag my jeans on the floor. In the end.. I ended up dragging myself home.
It's soo painful, excruciating. Excruciatingly intense pain!! Haha..
Ai swee, mai mia (want to be pretty, don't want life)[Chinese dialect]

A "Brand-New" Laptop
Sunday, October 08, 2006
D: Eww.. Your laptop is brown.. What did you do to it?
Me: Nothing.
D: Precisely. Go and clean it.
My brother whipped out his cleaning foam and cloth (machiam... I only heard of shaving foam lor..)
D: You know how to use?
Me: No... ??? Know?
D: Shake the bottle. Spray and wipe in circular motions.
I wiped... and did a whole lot more.
D: Aiyo... how can you wipe the touch pad so hard? Machiam.. Your laptop won't last for the next 5 years.
Aiya.. I dunno how to wipe properly la! I promptly gave up. Gave him back the bottle of foam.
Well... after much cajoling.. I was back to wiping individual keys.
TA-DAH!!! A "brand new" laptop!!!

It's a brand new start
Where changes abound
I cried, I teared
I had to let go
It's time to move on
A place where people come
The beginnings of dreams
It's a DREAM centre
Possible impossibilities
A GREAT God we have
We're His DREAM team!

The Wonders of Olfaction
Monday, October 02, 2006
The human tongue can only distinguish among 7-8 distinct types of taste, while the nose can distinguish among hundreds of substances, even in minute quantities. Olfaction amplifies the sense of taste.
Step One: Drink some water amd rid your taste buds of any lingering taste.
Step Two: Pinch the nose real hard so that it cannot detect any aromas...
Step Three: Get READY the mystery food substance.
Step Four: Pop it into your mouth!
I couldn't tell what it was that was in my mouth. My taste buds seemed to fail me.. Until...
I stopped pinching my nose. Ahh... barbeque sauce! Gee.. no wonder food taste sooo bland when my nose is blocked. I love you, nose.. Wahahahahaha..
