Me, Myself and You

Okay, I didn't post the stuff below. I'm sure anyone could tell that my housemates did. And no, shit... It's rubbing in again, stupid ass. The stupid bitch (not my dear bitch) posted the damn disclaimer. I swear I'll kill her one day if I have the chance to.

I'm sorry I haven't blogged for quite a while. Been feeling a bit moody since I was back. But at least, now I kinda know what I want down here. I've actually written quite a few postcards, but yet to send them out...

And before I forget,

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY YILING You'll get your present soon hopefully... (Stupid bitch, just told me you're coming down. Thank god I didn't send the parcel up).

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY YINGHUI Thanks for the songs, and be glad I'm using ur favourite yellow yellow dirty fellow colour :p

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BRO I'm sorry I've not been a good bro. Know you were the first to msg me this year, and I had to forget and end up being the last to wish you while you were outcamp. Haha! But you know I still love you. Come quick! I miss you. Michelle, you and I can go on a holiday =) Damn, if only there was someone with me.

All right, believe you should be in for a treat if u're still reading this blog =) Ever watched how Anakin Skywalker turned into Darth Vader. Now here's a replica. And here he is...

Before and...

after

Okay, don't ask me why I did this. In any case, it's done. Haha! Now, I've repaired the tagging so go ahead and shoot me however much you want to. To you, erm everyone, and haha everyone, yar basically everyone: I'm all right in case you were wondering.

Disclaimer: if on any of my future blogs I report that the previous entry is fake, that's not true!!!

Thoughts reflecting housemates

Having come to live in a house full of Singhs, I feel like giving them all blowjhobis (blowjobs in punjabi).......sorry, i've been singh-ified!

I have been handcuffed to a tree for my bday, given a cup showing a picture of a scantily clad (v. v. beautiful) woman who will reveal all when the contents are warmed up, obviously, by me.

Further, I am overjoyed to be living in a house with most whose hobbies are playing computer games. We battle daily and indulge in mercyless killings. Whoo hoo.

My weekly chores include washing the toilet bowl (the subject of which i am v. well versed in), cooking (it has thus improved from the sludge that it was, to a meal worth of the queen), and picking my toes.

So Little Time

Only 2 weeks left before it's time to fly back. And I've still not met up with quite a number of people. Including her... Well, doubt I'll meet her though, coz it doesn't seem as if she wants to meet up.

I feel as if there's limited time for us in our lives. There's limited time for me to pack for my trip to Korea this Saturday, and yet I'm still sitting down here at 2+ in the morning waiting for the England match. This makes me all the more tired, and I'll probably wake up at 3 again tmrw. And to think of it, there'll only be 3 days after I come back from Korea to pack my stuff for UK. Sometimes, ppl just don't change... Just like Crystal and Yew Song. I think we can form a group called the last-minute kings already.

Finally, army's finished. Just left a day to go collect my NRIC. The asses have been burning my offs the whole of last week. Then what for give me off when u're going to burn it? So that I have the advantage of booking-in in civi, and coming in at 8. It's still almost the same lor. And haha, my stupid boss. Have got this friend who has ORD-ed and doesn't like him at all, just like me. And the minute my boss calls him out for steamboat to treat the both of us, he'll say he is busy. Lol, I just don't know how to laugh at him. But it's not easy being a boss lar I must say. Sometimes u wonder whether u're too harsh, and sometimes whether u're too lenient. I hope that I'll not commit the same mistakes when I was the store-ic back then. All the storemen ended up learning how to drive army vehicles...

Now, about the trip to Korea. Guess who's my partner going with me? IT'S MY MOM!! Can anyone believe it? Haha. Even Yew Song was laughing at me, wondering how boring it'll be for me. Okay, I'm quite a boring person too, so maybe for her as well. And we're going to Jeju where Winter Sonata was filmed. Right! I'm beginning to wonder how many couples there'll be who'll be gossiping about us. How sad man... Is it coz my bro's going to KL to visit his gf, and my mom's taking pity on me. Argh, whatever, I'm not going to think man.

Oh, called my ex on her bday, but couldn't get to her. Anyway, if u're reading (though I doubt u'll coz u don't have this site's address... and why am i publishing this?), happy birthday.

Football's starting. Come on England...

My 2nd Punishment

I've been irritated these past few days after not receiving money to pay for rental this month. To top it off... It's not just this month, but last as well (okay except for one who payed). I'm already 4 days late... And yet I still can't pay the landlord! Ah god, why do I always have to wait this long? I don't mind paying for one person first, but when 4 people don't pay, I can't even do a thing you understand? Urgh! I'm already busy with army, don't tell me you're more busy than me? Or is it coz no one bothers to check out their e-mails. Seriously, I must say, I can understand why people are irritated when one doesn't reply to SMSes. It's actually just a matter of making the effort for a few minutes. But it's probably the laziness seeping into everyone, now that it's holiday time. Even I myself have done it before... So I shan't blame anyone. But please, pay me!!!

Speaking about army, I just got myself into trouble. Nights off and stayout previlege has been taken off me for not booking in/out of camp... My 2nd punishment since the start of army. Not bad I must say in my own opinion. But argh... It's for a month. Plus we got to go back and work on the weekends as well. Isn't it as good as SOL (Stoppage of Leave)? I almost said that, but thank god I didn't... Or else my boss will start marking me. I bet they did this coz of the inspection that's coming up this month. They want us to work like slaves for them without giving us any off. How smart. Out of about 100 people, only 7 didn't commit the offence. As good as mass free labour, ain't it?

Perhaps I've been induced with too much of the drivers' mentality. I must say I don't really like drivers... But after working in the place for so long... I must say they do take the piss out of you at times when they get lazy, but other than that, they're a great bunch when it comes to helping one another. Okay, maybe not all... But at least, they are mostly humble. That's what I like about them. Perhaps army wasn't such a waste of my time after all. Made me realise the values that are important to me. I hope that's what you like about us, Crystal... About VS guys.

Another boss asked if I wanted him to speak on my behalf coz I'm good friends with him for a long time plus he knows I've only got one month of service left, and I only didn't sign out for a couple of days. How tempting isn't it? But I rejected... Bet M.O. and Crystal will call me a fool for this.

But nvm, I hope u all understand why.

Updates Updates

It's only a month till I start clearing my leave. Yay! Feel damn shiok.

Today is Jiahui's and Papa's birthday.

It's so easy to remember. They fall on the same day. If I forget about one, all I just have to do is to remember the other and I'll remember it. Haha!

Sorry, couldn't call you coz I can't access my UK handphone. Didn't bring back the battery to charge it. Bought my dad some brownies instead. He's so health conscious that cream food is permanently banned, so I've always got to think of alternatives to buy. Person who marries me has to remember this too :p

Didn't mention this the other day... I pushed someone else's trolley for at least 5 - 10 minutes till I reached the counter. And it was almost full. Feel so sorry for the person. Has to take everything all over again. I hope she found back her trolley though :p

And I went for the modelling interview in case you guys didn't know. But I doubt I'll take the offer after listening to some life story advice from M.O. again. Have got to go sleep now. Just came back from camp. Shagged!

The Army Mood

Haven't blogged in such a long time, I feel as though I should perhaps leave my blog alone during the summer. But after persuassion from some people, I feel... ... well, let's just say slightly motivated again. To those who have been patiently going to my blog every day, thank you very much. I appreciate your patience. That's it.com

Army's been taking the mood out of me. I'm back to my usual self again. M.O thinks it's the anti-hypertensives that's making me look dazed. It's not dude. Lotsa work to do in work that I tend to ignore some calls or msgs unless they're really important. Go home, and the first thing I do is to play my Winning 11, or look for things to download. Other than that, it's just eat or sleep, or meeting up with friends. Well, I must say I'm glad to be doing some stuff again. Such as the usual pool tournaments with our dear friend M.O. I must say he's such an ass. When he loses one game, he'll say "Okay, best of 3/5" and then he'll go on to win those games. What an ass u know! Lose already keep playing more till he wins. I swear, there's no else who will win like that other than him.

Yesterday... Met Clarissa for jap dinner. Stupid Matt went to watch Singapore Idol, and was swinging the banner around. Didn't even call me to go. But what can I say? Shinmin didn't even go. Haha! I was working the other day when I got a msg from Matt saying "You're an idiot!" Guess who it was - Thng Shinmin! I swear girl, I'm so gonna kill u on Saturday when we go prawning. But anyway, back to Clarissa... Yes, I found out how much of a slacker I've been. She's been doing so much work for SMSL, typing lotsa stuff etc, and here I am slacking at home. God, I felt so guilty I quickly went home to ask about the shirts for SingSoc. Now I just have to wait for Samantha. I think I better buck up this weekend man! Gotta prepare some stuff for the freshers to take home.

Army's been crap. I'm the utility man again, coz I just have to know everything. M.O sometimes says he's never seen a NSF busier than me. I don't know... Somehow I feel it's a responsibility while I'm there. Found out a lot of stupid problems there. Designed a weapon spares database for them to use, and now they're not using it for what it was originally designed for. Just 9 months and it's become like this. I swear! It's the attitude man. Boss asked me to think of a solution to help improve the place. What solution when the ppl are already like this? Otherwise they won't be in army already mah. Asked this Staff Sergeant why he doesn't want to quit? "Good pay for doing nothing, who doesn't want?" What the hell. Made me so pissed that I think I've finally cracked my head and may just have thought of a solution. Let's see if it works!

I've been going out a lot, and hardly have dinner at home now. Feel so bad. Don't even get to have dinner regularly with my dad now that I'm back. In fact, the reason for me being to stay at home everyday is coz of my dad. So sad, I'm not even using my privilege properly. These kinda things really make you think a lot.

And now that I'm back, I suddenly remembered about a promise I made to myself last year. I realised that in the last year, I've really grown quite a bit in my opinion. I've learnt to keep my word better, and suddenly now, promises have suddenly become so important to uphold. It's become somewhat of a principle now. I just hope that I'm finally able to see through my promises, and fulfil this one. That way, I can feel satisfied with my life. A lot of people have said that it's selfish to just think about keeping/upholding the promise you made to yourself. Do you know it really puts me in a tough spot? Seriously, I do waver a little when you guys say that. But a promise is a promise after all as someone once said. It's like a responsibility once you take it. If you can't even keep it, how can people trust you? If you can't even keep a promise with your friend, or even to yourself, then what's the point of even making one? But I really don't like it when girls force promises onto you. They just barge their way through and force you to accept it. Such asses, especially the one who stays in Jurong, such a difficult one (promise) you know. Till the point I'm stuck in the middle on many occasions. But anyway, let's just forget about it now.

AHM training is tomorrow, and they won't let me go running again. Asses! Takes me just half an hour to walk to East Coast Park and what's more I've got a medical appointment in the afternoon to see the cardiologist. I know I've been banned from running, but I can don't report to camp if you allowed me. Ass! Seriously, big time ass! Okay, I know they care about me, but argh, I'm just irritated right now. Off to Blood+ and hopefully some SingSoc stuff later on.

Exams

After wearing boxers around the flat just this week, 4 people have already saw my... (phd) ... Gosh, I so like them, but am reluctant to wear them now. And they called it weeny! You asses, I'll get back at you!

Anyway, today's paper was crazy! But still do-able. Most of us just finished in time, someone finished in 1 hour, instead of 2, while another had loads (she estimated 15) of questions unanswered. Mixed feelings everywhere... Ah, let's just pray. And continue studying for the remaining papers. That's about the only thing we can do now right? So step on the gear man. This is the last week...

Clinical Skills

Okay, the paper B next week, otherwise known as OSCEs, carry a huge 50% for the entire year's marks. It basically consists of looking at histological slides, identifying bones, etc and demonstrating proficient clinical skills such as cardiorespiratory/abdominal examinations, CPR, etc.

I never knew that practising clinical skills could be so fun and funny! Our dear 'auntie' yesterday intended to check my back for sacral oedema (water retention in the lower back). Instead she said "I'm checking for his scrotum (instead of sacral oedema)..." Wahahaha! I just burst out laughing. Okay, let's not be so bad to her.

Then I went to the kitchen to wash my dishes later on, and the 'auntie' said "Come and look for me before you go to bed". Now she got me really curious and suspicious there. My perverseness started kicking in again and I was thinking what on earth did I do just now. Well, I taught her how to perform a cardio examination so maybe she might reward me with... ... ... Hahaha! What stupid thoughts... And before I knew it, my parasympathetic system was activated again, and my little brother stood up, parallel to the ground! And I was wearing my boxers... Argh! You know when the inner part (glans) of your ehem touches something, it will hurt. To conceal my 'little brother' and stop the pain, I had to bend over at the sink to allow the boxers to expand at the front. Well, the trick didn't last for long.

As I thought I wasn't feeling anymore pain, I concluded that 'he' was no longer in the flag raising position. So I stood up normally again. Just then, the 'auntie' asked me some questions, and I started to talk to her. And suddenly, she exclaimed "Oh my god! I can see your little brother sticking out there". I looked down and hold and behold, it was! And oh no, that wasn't the end of it. She went around the flat telling everyone to come and take a look. Thank god 'he' quickly went down and took cover in time. That's it! I don't care what people say anymore. I'll continue being a commando! I love being commando!

Today's England match wasn't that impressive but I'm hoping they'll improve on as the matches continue. Exam stress does get the most crazy part of you! Rama and I had a bathing competition just now to see who could bathe faster. Of course I won! Went into the toilet, took off clothes, bathed, and wore back clothes. All in all, 4 minutes. Still slow compared to army timings when we only rinsed in the water for 30 seconds on the first day. Gosh, I do miss army days even though I'm dreading having to go back this summer. How ironic! But back to studying...

Antihypertensives

Okay, finally got to see the GP today. She said that there was stress on the heart on the ECG, while blood tests were normal. Sounds idiopathic (unknown cause) to me. Just for some of you to know... Idiopathic hypertension is also known as primary hypertension or essential hypertension. Why? Coz people thought that this sort of hypertension was necessary and thus termed it essential when it actually isn't. Hello! I actually do not need hypertension here. Have been changing my diet. Chips's got no salt now, have to use less oyster sauce, and drinking yoghurt drinks to lower down my blood pressure. Urgh!

Anyway, on ACE inhibitors (a class of drug) now. Let's hope that I still ACE the papers when I still have to go to the doctors 2 more times to follow-up: one next week, and one during exam week.

Get Yourself Together

Many people have said that I still am unable to let her go. Haha, I don't know if it's true though I doubt it is... But was studying in Rama's room when he played a song that I had not listened to in quite a while. Helped me pick up myself and get up on my foot.

For Jiahui, Yiling, Junie and Yiwen...

And all you bums who are still slacking and not studying!

The Urinal

It's so weird... I'm blogging more during exams period! Argh, I'm so gonna die. Then again, I've gotta admit: Blogging's a good way of relieving stress.

Don't know what came over me last night. Was peeing halfway when I suddenly thought: You know how girls always complain that guys wet the whole toilet bowl because of 'poor aiming'. Well, you gotta understand that sometimes, when guys wake up, (okay I shall put it in medical terms here) their parasympathetic systems (conserve energy) are activated. Okay, for those of you that do not understand, I meant erection. If you think about it, blood doesn't need to flow to our leg muscles since they don't require the oxygen then. So where do they go? Well, they gotta flow to 'somewhere else' definitely.

But it's normal actually. After all, our autonomic nervous system was designed to help us with our sleeping patterns. When waking up, the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) is activated. But it takes a while for the adrenaline to pump around our body, for the blood 'there' to flow to other more important areas (1). So guys, if you do notice, when you wake up at 3am suddenly just to go and pee, your dude's pointing up to the sky, whereas if you take an hour to get out of bed, it's probably flaccid. Perhaps impotent men should have the habit of waking up early and quickly to do it with their wives. Okay, enough for the scientific literature over here.

Back to the story, I was just thinking yesterday that perhaps I could fix up a urinal in my future home next time. That way, the kids could use the urinal without their moms screaming into their and my precious ears. Had enough screaming over the past 20 years. Hahaha! So the toilet has got to be quite posh and big. But what sort of urinal should I get? And suddenly, I remembered about the urinal I saw in Italy.

Now, if you look carefully, this is no ordinary urinal. Why? If you look carefully, the flushing system's operated by a tap, not a button or sensor. How cool is that? Turn on the tap, and water flows out to wash away all the stuff. You don't even have to worry about it running out of water unlike our usual toilet bowl. If I do get one, it'll definitely be this design.

But after thinking for a while, the kids will probably just 'shoot' around into the urinal at home. What about other people's house. I wouldn't want them to go around wetting other people's homes. Have got to start their training from the home. Perhaps I could follow what the army does - Having a sign on top that says "Aim before you shoot!" Haha, I do miss army days. But in any case, after careful consideration, I can say the kids are not going to get a nice big posh toilet with a urinal in it after all!

EDIT 2: Now M.O. also wants to put up his own photo when he was supposed to go and meet Crystal and the rest. If he was late, you know what he's been doing... (Notice the extra little thing... Why didn't you make the seat hit it M.O.)?

Guys vs Girls

Okay, I'm not trying to say whether I prefer guys or girls. Some of you might know how I'm able to communicate better with girls. And this is in no way a sign of me being gay!

All I just want to say is... I miss my guy friends... Yew Song, Steven, Randy, Zeke, Matthew, Rama... You guys are always there in a way girls can never understand. You don't have to say much... Yet, we become stronger just by going out or being aware of the other party's presence. Thanks so much.

And this in no way changes who my best friend is... (Even if you found out about ***** first).

One more thing before i forget...

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MISS PRESIDENT OF THE FAST SPEAKERS ASSOCIATION!

And also HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MISS FAT CAT in advance first.

(Still love you guys for your own special traits).

Sky-dive

Thursday's story starts a week ago. Matthew and I qualified to go for skydiving after RAG. It so happened that Matt chose 1st June coz Sarah called him first to confirm the dates. And when Matt told me the date, I was so shocked I could hardly say a thing. Had promised to go out with Yiling today since late April I think. But yeah, I thought that perhaps skydiving would only take till late afternoon max so I decided to go for 1st June as well.

So Sarah called and I told her I'll go for 1st June as well. But when she told me the location, my jaw dropped again. It was at Peterborough, which is 2.5 - 3 hours away from London. But she told us that we'll leave in the morning at 0830 and it'll just "take the whole day" so I was quite relieved. As long as I could go out with Yiling for dinner, it's fine.

Called Yiling and told her, and of course got yelled at a little coz she had to go shopping in the afternoon all alone. Lol! But that girl didn't tell me that she had called up her aunt, and said she was going there for dinner with me! I was like... "So you want me to pretend to be your bf for a day now?" Haha... I haven't had this kind of honour for such a long time. And then she told me that her aunt had probably assumed I was going to be girl, coz she just said that she's bringing a friend along. Wth~! What will your aunt think man? I could just imagine her aunt's expression later on.

So anyway, woke up at 7+ to go to the Tube to meet everyone else at 08 30. Well, the skydiving centre called up and told us that the weather wasn't good in the morning, and we had to wait till 9 for further news. And after waiting in the cold weather, all we got was that we had to wait till 10 30 again. My hopes really sky-dived then! I began calculating the time, and realised that I'd only be able to reach back at 6+ at the earliest. There was no point in me going then coz I had already promised Yiling. So I told Matt I wasn't going, and he went "Huh? Now I've gotta go by myself." And why? Coz I didn't tell him that I actually didn't want to go on 1st June. But thank goodness, that boy was still sane, and decided to go. Haha! I wouldn't want my friend to miss out on sky-dive just because of me. Sometimes, it's better to say whatever you don't feel comfortable with to your friend.

So I became a good boy and went for lessons, and met Yiling at 13 30. I'm telling you... That girl is never early, in fact, you can't really trust girls. They go like "Hey wait wait... Let me put on my earrings..." then "Hold on, I forgot the make-up"... Urgh! And why they say? "It's a free show for you guys. You all better appreciate it." I'm telling you... I can't stand all this make-up thing. Don't understand what's so pretty about it. It's all fake! Prefer someone to look natural. I mean what can I say, I preferred how my mom looked when she was wearing pyjamus rather than office clothes.

Okay, then we went to the VS (not Victoria School... Vidal Sasoon) education centre for her to have her hair-cut. God, we spent 3 hours there. Thank goodness, I brought some lecture notes to study, or else I'd have killed you Ling. Haha, and this korean translator kept talking to me... Urgh~ I wanted to study. And then I called Matt to ask about his sky-diving. And they didn't go. Weather wasn't good. For once, the weather I had checked on BBC was wrong. Haha. But will probably miss the post-poned sky-diving coz it'll probably be after exams when I'm back in Singapore.

So we went to Yiling's place for dinner. She went "Hello Aunt Peggy, this is my friend Pei Kee..." Her aunt turned around and said hi, turned her head back to her chopping board, and then turned around again. Haha, I couldn't stop laughing thinking she must have thought "Am I seeing a guy?" And then when she asked for my name again, Yiling said "Pei Kee..." and she pointed to herself with a big question mark on her face. She was just so funny! And having an ang-moh husband allowed her to be the 'head' of the family. She was just shouting around, and saying "See... I've got to take care of these 3 kids (when she only had 2)". Lol, thank goodness her husband is very friendly and patient. In chinese families, I can just imagine the husband abusing his wife for saying that, like what Yiling said. But dinner was good and healthy... Roast chicken, bah kut teh, blah blah... And she even recommended anti-hypertensives for me. Lol, she reminds me of my dad.

But yeah, I really enjoyed myself. We caught a wrong train on the way back, but thank goodness we realised soon enough so it only cost us an additional 10 minutes. Felt sad when Yiling left with Fontaine. Really haven't seen her in a long time, and she had to go off so quickly. Will miss you girl. And I've got to admit something here. You're right Crystal Goh. I'm a big flirt. I can't protest anything against that. I'm speechless.

And so it is... Someone said that it's too late to apologise. Yeah, I think so too. I had actually typed sth for Miss Goh 2 days ago, but I guess I'll not put it in here. No point as well. I mean... There's no point in me saying anything now other than making amendments in the future. Besides, Mr/Miss No Name will probably tag the same thing in here anyway. Yar, but it was really foolish of me to doubt you... The last person I should be doubting. Stupid old me.

Sausages

In association to what our dear Steven tagged, I must say one FACT FOR TODAY: I HATE SAUSAGES! I DON'T LIKE THEM... Hahaha, so I'm not gay!

Now in case you wondering, I can assure you that this article has been certified PG though the title looks a bit dubious!

Do you know what on earth is inside a sausage? Have you ever seen what goes into the sausage during the manufacturing process?

If you do notice nowadays at the supermarket, the chicken meat and what you have it have less fat in them. Not just meat... Milk, mayonnaise, the list just goes on and on... Everything has reduced fat or cream content. Where do all of them go? To the bin? One might wish for it to be true, but in reality, it's not! Which company in the right frame mind of mind (though selfish as well) would want to go through the hassle of removing extra cream for u and then throw it away?

The Solution: Put it into processed foods. Sausages, chicken nuggets... all the chicken fat and skin goes into this. If you don't believe me, buy some sausage rolls, bite it and take a look inside and tell me what you see. The sausages here have to be those that come out straight from the machines. Those red sausages that you see have been coloured and processed even more to make it look, taste and feel more like meat when in fact it isn't!

What about the cream? It all goes to ice cream! That's what it's name is for... Ice cream nowadays have higher cream contents than what they used to have. Which girl will go look at the amount of cream in an ice-cream container and compare it? They just say that they're on a diet when it comes to normal food, and binge on ice-cream after that! It really makes me wonder if they deserve to say that boys think with their ehem instead of their brains. Hello girls, you aren't making sense either! (Okay, I think I just made a whole lot of girl enemies there. But I've got no choice. I've got to... In order to stop people from calling me a flirt! Gotta be mean sometimes :D)

So theoretically, while we may be drinking low-fat milk, we're actually eating more fats found in other parts of our food. Is the F&B industry right to do this? People simply don't want fats, and u just have to put it into their diets to cut down your losses! Now, I'm not saying that all food companies do the same thing. There are certain ones that still believe in giving their customers what they believe to be best for them! Take for example... Rama's favourite Kettle's chips. It's got no MSG in it, yet they do not go around advertising it. Instead they keep a low-profile and believe that customers who have tried it will maintain faith in their products. Now this is what I call true entrepreneuship just like our dear MO's VTC! Maintaining customers' faith. That's what's most important.

Now, should we be careful about our food? Well, a little perhaps, or else we won't be able to enjoy our lives... After all, food is what we thrive on right, Crystal? Haha... All your chips and snacks, no one else can compare to you. Haha! Everyone know that bak chor mee is not good, but everyone still eats it! It's just so good, it's worth dying for. Until then, we'd better thank the F&B industry for allowing us to keep our lovely full-cream dairy milk...

The 'Amazing' Video

I found this really amazing video on Steven's site. Will borrow it here... Haha, sorry dude.

Changed!!

Finally, I've changed the blog layout. Been meaning to do it for a long time, but just didn't have the idea or inspiration to do so... Till the day before exams! Haha, weird isn't it? Well, the story goes like this... I got a bit dejected the night before exams, and had problems going to bed. And then I started playing Dishwalla's music, till it got to Nashville Skyline. Suddenly, I felt better. The music was soothing, yet encouraging, as if there was hope for me, and for everyone else out there. It seemed to spark something within me, telling me that there was no need to despair coz there's always something to look forward to in this life. It just made me feel so free and relaxed.

And then I realised I had loads of friends in the same situation as me, but I've been neglecting them for quite a while. Had not spoken to them for a long while such as Vanessa or Niro (You didn't pick up! Stop blaming me), etc. Or had not read others' blogs for a long time. In fact, I haven't contacted those 2 and many others since coming back here. And I didn't even realise that Vanessa was feeling down till Taharim pointed at the sketch book Van gave me... So stupid isn't it? Your friend's book is just right in front of you, and yet u're oblivious to it, I feel like such a lousy friend. Went to her blog only to find out how super depressed she was. And there's so many other ppl I've not talked to... Quan Rung, Yew Song, Jocelyn, my dad, damn, the list just goes on... How can one be forgiven for such sins!

But well, it kinda occured to me that all I can do now is to put this song up here for you ppl. I know many of you are irritated with blogs with song, but I just hope you'll enjoy this one. Thanks Matt and Maybel for introducing me to Dishwalla. Decided to change the layout for a fresh new start for everyone and me. I hope it makes all of you feel better, whether the last time I've spoken to you all is in ages or not. It's such a nice song for everyone...

For the couples:
Crystal and Jon - You know I always tell u to break up with him, but I never mean it.
Mom and Dad - No matter how depressing the accident is, it has only served to make our fammily a stronger one with more love between you and us.
Michelle and Bro - Call her more, you ass! Stop playing your game, or else she'll feel neglected. Though I seldom speak to my bro now, we get along so well again whenever we see each other. All the scolding that u've endured from me, I hope you realise it's coz I love u as my one and only bro.
Yew Song and Vic - Endure a bit more ppl, 3 more months and you can both be together in UK.
Matthew and Shinmin - I'm sorry about the train prediction times, made you all late for your train. And screwed up your holiday plans a bit... I hope I can make it up to you on Monday.
Mr and Mrs Ong - Run Mr Ong! Lose some weight, so that your wife can see you fit for one more time, or else I doubt you can ever get back to your original shape.
For my cousins - I hope you guys are enjoying your time together, and with your kids. Play more mahjong and train up, before I come back to kick your asses!

I'm sorry if I didn't list down everyone... but I just hope you know that even if I did, you'll get my blessings (hopefully)!

And for the lonesome ppl like me:
Haha... I shall not list down your names here to prevent release of P&C information, but then again, I can put a list of guys and girls, and maybe you guys can mingle together on my blog. Argh, what a crazy idea. I'm not even working for SDU! But anyway, I hope you find meaning to your life, coz there's so much to look forward to. Take "the one who's smiling in front of her com like an idiot now for instance", I have always hoped that you'll be able to pick yourself up and see the hope that lies beyond the horizon, not only me, your beloved friends and my dear bitch as well. Though I always say I'm not jealous about your manly man, all I can say is that I am. You ass! Hopefully, all of you'll find the thing that you need to treasure this life...

Fact of the day: Labour can be pain-free with the use of epidural analgesics, etc. My dear bitch would be glad to know that she can have a painless labour now. And I'm not trying to help you Jon :p

Cool Sketch

Tagboard has been down for days... Argh!

Anyway, this is so cool...



Wish me luck!

Fact of the Day

Did you know: "Going Dutch" means paying for one's own meal when going to a restaurant for a date usually. Now "Going Double Dutch"... What do you think this means? Going for a meal twice? Nah, it means using 2 types of contraceptive at the same time (a practice common in the Netherlands where the man wears a condom, the woman swallows an oral contraceptive.

This is suppossedly the safest type of sex (This is again for our dear friend Crystal Goh who doesn't want to have kids. Jon will kill me if he finds out I'm teaching you these sorta things).?

Exams Revisited!

No, it's not freshers revisited! It's exams, argh... It's on Friday, sigh. And since it's past twelve now, that means it's freaking tmr! Shit, I'm so dead.

Anyway, as I said, I didn't do very well on the previous paper. Did quite badly for the EMQs so I only got 77.8. Sorry mom! Didn't do well... Know you don't put any pressure on me at all, but sometimes I just feel the need to do well.

I was thinking about my dad today while reading some stuff in Learning Landscape on lumbar and sacral nerves, etc. The car falling into a valley sounds horrific enough already. I would suppose that his injury to the spinal cord would warrant a CT scan/MRI. They say it can be quite a horrifying experience in those round big machines. And they're not cheap. I'm not sure how much one scan costs... Probably hundreds, near thousands? Sigh, just imagine my mom having to talk to the doctors with him about all the possible solutions and operations to be carried out while stabilising him. And they had to send him from Malacca to Singapore. Plus that silly man had to tell my mom that he couldn't STAND UP (if you know what I mean) anymore, and asked her to find another man... He never changes... Lol! And my mom started crying, haha! Don't know whether it's coz she wanted to laugh and couldn't laugh, or crying coz my dad has never said such a thing to her in a long time. I must say my family's one of a kind :p But sigh, sad thing was I wasn't there to understand how traumatic the situation was. I always thought that there's nothing you can do to avoid accidents. If it happens, it happens. But today I can finally understand why my dad discourages me to drive at times.

I've got lotsa things more to write actually, but just can't recall it coz of exams now :) But I will... And somemore interesting facts for Crystal Goh!

Menopause: In 1990, women had menopause at 48, and usually died then. Nowadays, women acquire it at 51 and die at 80+. Haha, those ppl in the past didn't have to suffer much.

Pregnancy: Find a proper name in the word 'Pregnancy', and you get NANCY! Nancy, you've gotta quickly find a husband and get married. Don't count on those cute little kids in the tuition centre... Okay, I know I'm lame, but that's why you love me right, Crystal Goh? Haha!

Exam Results (Part One)

Crystal told me not to study too hard to give others a chance. Lol!

Sorry people. I just got back my SAQs and I'm happy to say that I did give you guys a chance... Well, not to beat me, but at least to match my score...

Coz I got full marks! Wahahahaha.

But I must say this is only SAQs which is worth 20 marks out of 90. I'll be so dead for the EMQs. You still have a chance after all to win me =)

Sorry... Thank you!

Now I think the title of this post sounds like Diana's usual words. Haha!

Well, I think I made a girl sad yesterday night... No! I didn't do anything to her. Just stirred up some of her unhappy memories. Was thinking that my radical approach might help, but oh well... It didn't! Sigh, you know... My radical approach seems to work at times to get people back on their feet. But oh well, Matthew u're right this time. Shouldn't have. But just to let u know... I didn't mean everything in a bad manner.

Don't know why... I started thinking about how I will raise my kids up and make them happy while I was in the shower. And I suddenly remembered this funny issue. Our family was in Australia's Movie World and mom and dad got my bro and i to shoot a blue-screen superman video. Haha, it was damn funny now that I think about it. But I must say it wasn't cheap too. It was really surprising that pa at that time allowed us to take it (knowing his stingy self), even though it must have cost a lot. It must really have been the power of love at that time, the thought of seeing how ur kids will enjoy themselves no matter what the cost. Thank you all for raising me till how I am now. I hope I'm not a disappointment.

Going for RAG again tomorrow morning. Target: 415 pounds. I want to do sky-diving if possible. YAy! Haha, but more importantly, I want to raise the money for charity, and also hopefully, our school will come up as tog Raggers in London. Got to wake up at freaking 5 30 am though. Sigh! And I'll call you Crystal over the weekend as I told ya. Got something quite serious to discuss with you.

Random

So, I think I'm quite screwed for this exam. But anyway, let's not talk about it... Had a nice chat with Yiwen today about her love life. Haha, hope you're all right. Don't think too much.

You know... Sometimes ppl call me the rebounding man. Not in terms of catching rebounds. But when ppl break up, they come and talk to me. What is this man? Am I some sort of spare tyre substitute? Argh!!! You girls... Sucking every bit of my blood away from me! No more honeymoons whatsoever... I'm going to America by myself.

You know... Sometimes, there's a target out there for you to meet. You want to meet it, yet you feel lazy at times, or make up excuses not to do it. It sucks quite terribly coz you want it, yet you feel lazy to get it. The worse thing is this thing is important for me. Perhaps that is why things slip out from our hands. Sigh, I don't want history to repeat itself again. Please lord, give me more courage and allow me to endure to at least fulfil that one wish. Anything... even if it means...

Exams

Goodness... Even I can't believe it too.

3 days ago, Taharim (flat-mate/she calls herself my wife... goodness) came back at 5 am, and I heard the door slam! Guess what, I peed in my pants instantaneously and had to get out of bed to change. Urgh! Thank god the bed wasn't wet or else I would have screamed at myself.

Then just 10 mins ago, I poured hot water into my cereal... WTH! Is it exam stress? Oh no... I hope I better pick everything up soon, coz EXAM's in 4.5 hours time!!!

Our Dear M.O.

Tada... Here's a link for you guys to check out on the life of M.O. Just for a preview, "i used to sell sugarcane chopped from my backyard to the street opera audiences in my kampung coz it was free and sure proft!" Lol! I don't know why i just find it funny. Haha.

http://www1.soe.org.sg/soevote/public/nomineedetail.php?nid=128

And M.O., guess what, I found quite a cute post from one of ur students in Google Search. Just in case u want to read it... Anyways, betta get back to Cranial Nerves, argh!

GTO

Okay, I think I should learn to be a good boy from now on. Sigh, think about GTO... He's so crappy, rude and naughty, yet he's da best! Haha. Maybe I should continue being naughty like him. Oh well...

Surprising, I was going through GTO in my books as well. Not Great Teacher Onizuka, but Golgi Tendon Organ. Lol! And there was this thing that I felt would be quite simple to understand yet interesting so I'll put it up here for you all.

Muscles have enormous powers. But only a propertion is used because we have this thing called the GTO, or the Golgi Tendon Organ. This is a receptor that prevents your muscles and tendons from overstretching to the point they get snapped out of their attachments.

Now, ever heard of mothers lifting girdles to save their babies/kids? That's the power of love, in fact mind over body, as the GTO can be overwritten by supreme desires to want something. Now now, don't think dirty about supreme desires there, else you'll snap your... ehem. Oops!

I'm not sure if I should mention this as I'm afraid it would boost our dear Maybel's ego. Ehem, athletes do the same as well. The pain that they endure are sometimes injuries to their bodies, done in limits of course. If excessively done, that's when you tear your muscles. So, Maybel, you can be proud for having such strong desires to win. But don't abuse your desires somewhere else and end up tearing something else, ehem! I'm innocent and I didn't do anything. Don't want to be so stupidly responsible for something again :p

Talk about being nice, haha. Ah, forget it. I just ruined my own reputation again with my perverseness, or was there even one to begin with? Lol! Screw it! I'm me, and always me! If anyone dares to complain that this post is boring (although i might have been bored to post this up), you're going to get SCREWED big time from me. Bleah.

Was talking to this friend about being pretty and having friends. I never thought u would be so bothered by it. Anyway, hope you are all right now, and please have more confidence in yourself. Don't be bothered by what other people say. Else you'll be living based on what others say, rather than doing something from the genuine side of you.

Okay, maybe I shall be nice.

The Kaylie Post

I just read my cousin's blog just now, and stumbled upon this. Wahahaha, this is for you M.O. So damn funny... Hahaha! And I'm sorry to the person I called ***** today. Didn't know you would get irritated that much. But of coz, anyone would have coz it's *****, and I've learnt my lesson! I'm reaaly sorry that I hurt you, and ask of you hopefully to forgive me. Just in case u want to know, I only call ppl ***** when I'm close to them, such as my dear Crystal =)

Anyway, here it is, take a look, haha:

"Okay, I'm done with the thing I'm supposed to do.

And I JUST ATE MY DINNER! (:

YUMMY!! Hehh.


Okay, back to the post. I am NOT too happy with people coming round askin me about boyfriends.. Urghh. Thursday, it was Mr Tan K.H. Sat, it was Mr Ong. And TODAY, it's Mr Ong again.

He said that my cousin told HIM to ask me. I'm like.. -.- Oh yeah.. I questioned him whether my cousin really asked him to keep an eye on me or sth.. And my oh my..HE LIED TO ME! Hmph!I knew it la.

At first, he thinks that my boyfriend is MICHAEL. Oh my gosh. MICHAEL? Hello? No way!!

Then he thinks that it's this guy from my English class. Excuse me? That guy is toot okay.

Next, Jonathan Yong from my Science class. NOT from SCHOOL. The J.Yong from Science class is WAY better than the J.Yong from school. Heh.

Well, yeahh.. he's kinda good looking and .. and, I used to have an infatuation on him.. But.. Too bad! WRONG ANS. (x Hahaa. Speaking of J.Yong from Science class.. He just borrowed 50Bucks from M.O today!

Gosh. He said his dad needs it to pay for dinner and yada yada. Whatever.. And yeah.. Being that J.Yong(from tuition class) He's always trying to breakdance in front of the lift.. God knows why he always like others to see his body.. because his shirt always falls off when he does that kinda stundt. Bleah. Whatever! I'm not interested in his body anyway. (x Haha. Okay... Lalalala. Btw, if you're here Mr Ong.. Then SHOW YOURSELF by tagging. I dislike you! Haha. I can't believe you actually wear short shorts with your that cool Quiksilver shirt and you pulled your socks so high up today! Gosh.. If my sis sees you today.. I guess she'll go like.. "OMG.. you're a fashion disaster!" I guess not only my sis will react that way. Porky will also AT LEAST go.. OMG! Hehhh! xP

You see Mr Ong.. You tend to buy nice shirts and stuff but you just don't know how to match them. You're even WROSE than me! Gosh! Haha. And YOU KEEP DREAMING about finding out who HE is. HMPH. If you REALLY REALLY wanna know, and you REALLY REALLY are free.. or desperate to find out. You can either stalk me or send a P.I which I know you most probably won't.. Soo... (x DREAM ON! Bleah!!

(((:
Okay, it's bye for now! (x



With much love,
Kaylie"

Goodness

I just something totally disgusting and shocking... Hahaha! Crystal Goh, I bet you'll love this!

A Bread Anime?

Yeah! You can't believe how addicting this anime is. Yakitate!! Japan... It's about a boy who attempts to create a bread for Japan. The starting movie doesn't even look like it's about bread. Haha, take a look at just how interesting it is :p



Plus one more thing... All the Ja-pans (Japanese bread) that Azuma creates are actually real breads created by this baker working in Pan no Mimi in Kyoto! Lol, gotta there someday!

EDIT: I've edited the video so that you guys can see how funny it is!

Quick Updates

Okay, just came back from Milan and Amsterdam, but I've been slacking since then! Meant to post the photos up in such a way it'll look like a story, but that'll have to wait till after the exams I guess. Now for some quick review pics.

For the guys...

And for the Girls... Hold on, maybe guys as well!

Don't these chocolates look yummy? Ehem... I'm sure the look of it adds on to the orgasmic taste as well! Haha... Bought a few of our friends these, and Aaron got a pair! As what he quoted, "i'll have to cut them into 'decent' pieces b4 i eat them", haha! I think so too. Lol, else u might choked :p

Holiday

I'll be going on my break to Milan later, and Amsterdam 3 days later.

Haiz, the loneliness is kicking in again. Taharim has left back home, and now I'm the only one in the flat. Don't know what to say... Haha! No gf, no one here, no money, blah blah... The lonely music's playing too. Wah, really damn sad! Haha.

I realised one thing today, I have a feeling I'm quite indecisive and don't know what I want in my life really. Actually, I won't totally say that, I kinda know what I want actually, just that when u present me with 2 things that I want, I don't know how to choose between them. Especially when each has its own advantage/points. Take Jaffa cakes and Digestive biscuits for example, I might not know which to pick if I can only choose one. Of coz this is only an example! But it really matters a lot to us, especially in our lives if u think about it.

Oh, I got a letter from Song Yu a few days ago. I must say I'm really happy to even see it. I've not got a letter from anyone for months and months. It really brightened up my day! Thanks Song =) Guess JH should be at ur place anytime around now. Hope the 2 of u have a great time, just don't do the naughty stuff that girls do together :p

Was sending a friend home yesterday when I don't know why, my ankle just hurt for no apparent reason. Didn't even feel a muscle snap or anything. So while doing this PBL on knee pains, i went to look up my ankle pains as well and suspected it to be 'Plantar Fasciattis' which is inflammation of the heel muscles. True enough, Taharim's dad dropped by and thought the same as well. Woohoo! I think I can start working in a clinic with a book beside me :p Haha, but that's besides the point. Was looking into this injury. It might be due to over-usage such as too much running etc. I don't know whatever the cause is, but the sucky thing is that the condition needs at least 9 months to 2 years to heal! OMG! That's really long. I don't know how long more I'll have to walk with such pain. And should I do anymore triathlon? Sigh...

Now for the video that was done by our dear friend M.O. It looks easy but it isn't actually. Promised to put it up so here it is. Enjoy it while I'm gone for the next week :)

Busy Nights Where You Do the Most Fun Stuff

Have been working a lot on this PBL. Urgh, it's killing me! But I finally finished it. Oh well, I guess I had to anyway. Project discussion is in less than 7hr 15 mins time. Wow, looks like I'm having inadequate sleep again tonight.

Went to Medsoc today. Acupuncture was offered to let us try. I refuted, coz my aunt used to 'poke' me all the time. And my friends who tried it were a little sceptical. Even after the session, most of them felt it didn't work. Oh well, I thought it always did on me. Just then, Jeff who couldn't clench his fist while being acupunctured nodded off after a minute on the train. We all started giggling away like primary school kids. How embarassing!

Came back today and chatted with our dear tuition centre clerk you know who. She mentioned one thing which was really true. It's going to be a problem if a young kid goes out with an older girl. Sooner or later, the guy will be 30+ and the woman 40+. Can you imagine what will happen when the woman loses her drive while the man still has his worldly desires? Or perhaps the man might start to get tired of the old hag. Haha! It's true, yar... but I didn't know this issue meant that much to her :p Lol, girls and their wicked minds!

Talked to another dear friend up north. Pissed her off when I didn't really seem to understand her problem. Well, I wasn't really in the mood lar. Just woke up and was doing the dreaded PBL when she messaged me on MSN. Oh wells, I'm sorry for not understanding your problem. In any case, forget about it first and focus on your exams tomorrow. Good luck!

Was doing PBL again after a dinner at 10+ pm. Saw another dear friend again and started talking to her. Guess what we were talking about: PENIS SIZES! Haha. What the hell... The 2nd person that I'm actually talking to about this. She wanted to know if height correlated with the size of ehem and interrupted my research to go onto a totally dirty and irrelevant one! Urgh. Disgusted! But haha, it was good fun to scrutinise through all the data and giving my ehem the name 'Skinny Longy'.

Guess what: The biggest size is a whopping 12 inches (30cm). That's the size of a long ruler. Can you believe it? Woah, even my dear friend who had a fetish for big ones called it a mega XXL. Lol! Sent her a message from the article "one episode of Sex and the City also shows a character expressing displeasure over her partner having too large a penis, though the penis is described in hyperbolic terms and implied to be something of impossibly gargantuan proportions" and guess what, she claimed I was small, or oh no, I meant my ehem was small. Argh! She's going to see how small it is just when I get back and shut her mouth with it! Haha, just k/d. Anyways, sorry I didn't respond halfway. Have got to finish my project for tomorrow, and a couple of my friends wanted to take a look and borrow it at 1am though I didn't make the deadline :p

Anyways, stupid Dan got a 6th generation Toyata Celica after going to NZ to study. Urgh! What a lucky ass. All right, 3am now. Going to have a hard time tomorrow forcing myself to look interested in the PBL session. Urgh!

Burdens on your Shoulder

I browsed through Crystal's blog today, and saw all the lovely pictures that she took. Not one with me in it! Bleah, that bitch is so gonna die when I go back. Anyway, I realised that most of the pictures that I like to take nowadays are scenery ones. In fact, after her, I haven't been taking much photos. Have I become more solemn nowadays? Okay, maybe I'm good when it comes to cracking dirty jokes, but that aside, my life seems to have become really serious.

Mom tells Yew Song that I'm having high blood pressure coz I put loads of unnecessary stress on myself. Perhaps that is true. I tend to want to carry the burden of everyone on my shoulders. But is that possible? How long can one carry it around like that? I know I'm not a superhuman. Yet I want to be. Perhaps forced to be. I don't like to depend on others. That's always been an idea instilled into my head, be it from my mom or personal experiences. The feeling of having to bear an insult (after borrowing), be it a joke or not, cannot be taken back. Why? Because u did depend on that someone, and no words can adequately justify your case anymore. MO, if you want to know, this is why I can't take your offer and go back. I must say I may not seem to care about my own pride from the way I put myself down when saying dirty jokes. Yet to tell the truth, I really do care about my pride. If we've got no pride, how do we win? Okay, I not sound damn kiasu. Shit!

One more thing that I really wish to say. It's really tiring to carry so much weight on your back. That's why Diana, I told you that it's impossible to make everyone happy. You'll probably end up suffering and sulk more! Besides, making one person happy may mean making another's misery. So, be prepared to save the world only if you're prepared to sacrifice yourself and make sure you think about the consequences as well.

All right, phew, back to Medsoc which I didn't quite understand today.

Yeah baby... Give me more of this!

Haha, I just can't resist anything when it comes to funny videos. What about sex? Can you? Haha, makes u ponder right? Anyway, thanks Aaron for this link. Check it out.

The Socks Sex


And for M.O. and my pool mates, check this out. It's a 7 year old kid btw.

Amazing Pool Shot


And for the last one, why didn't I think of that? Haha!

Voice Mail Ad

What to do?

I happened to pass by this site and saw this video. And I like it a lot! The song fits in with when the Rukia's sentence is passed and Byakuya is torn between saving her and abiding by the laws of Soul Society! Anyways, hope u all enjoy it.

Will to Live

I'm tired after exams, sleeping on the floor for 5 days, and experiencing some emotional problems. But oh well, all's over and I'm glad it is! So yar, have put up my favourite life-inspiring video clip song from Bleach. Hope it works properly this time round unlike the last.

Hmm...

Hmm, I don't know why. I've never felt this feeling for so long already. A little bit of jealousy, slightly moody, and feeling like helping, yet screaming! Haiz, tell me what to do... Coz I'm lost.

Ah, i bathed this evening. Went for some international students dinner thingy today at Chinatown. There were a few of my friends from my previous college, and some of them who were not actually knew her. And then the memories just flowed back again (sad song playing)...

And to think that there are another 2 more new years dinner next week when exams are in 2 weeks. On top of that, my mood is not good. Argh! It's during this kinda times that I really miss my friends back home. I feel like going to play pool with MO, feel like talking to Crystal and borrowing her shoulder for a while, feel like talking to Jiahui coz she seems to make sense all the time (not that Crystal doesn't, haha), disturbing Song Yu so that i'll forget about all my troubles and laugh at her, haha, talking to Ade and Yiling, disturbing QR and playing with her bro, and watch her laugh at him, watching cartoons with my bro, watch documentaries with my dad, talking to my mom over tea, going for dinner with Jocey, going for movies with my army, vs, and vtc friends, play mahjong with the VJ friends of mine and my cousins, and watching TV with them. Wow! What a long sentence. And now, i feel like bathing again...

So i see, i mentioned a lot of girls in the above paragraph. And my friends here have been wondering why the ppl surrounding my life are like just girls. Sounds as though I'm like manaka junpei from ichigo 100% (a erhem, pervetic romantic kinda anime) where a lot of girls like him, only in my case, u ppl perhaps don't like me. Haha!

Today's Medsoc Reflective Writing: Obesity

We had medsoc today. And I was writing on my reflective essay and laughing a bit as well about the first 2 paragraphs that i wrote. Ahaha! I think i'm so gonna get screwed by my gp for writing such an essay. Sounds slightly corny - like Mr Ong already. Argh, my merits~~! Anyway, have a read and tell me what you guys think. Haha!

1. List what you consider to be the essential components of a healthy diet. Have your views on diet changed as a result of your reading about diet and overweight? Do you think that being overweight is a medical problem or something that people should deal with themselves?

I believe that one should have a balanced diet – a meal should consist of the 3 important elements within it. However, this is slightly different from the one stipulated by dieticians whereby 55% carbohydrates, 15% proteins and 30% fats are necessary. Does anybody think of eating fats? I believe not. Eating plain oil, butter or margarine sounds gross. The pyramid table of food itself doesn’t even have a section for fats and lipids. So why confuse people with this information, especially when fats are found in most foods anyway. Instead, I think we should replace fats with something useful – fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables have been shown to even boost good cholesterol, which can counteract the effects of bad cholesterol found in fats. 55% carbohydrate is a little debatable. One might be misled into thinking that carbohydrates are good. In fact, this amount might be a little too much. If too much carbohydrates is consumed, they will be converted to fats again, which brings the problem back to square one. Thus, I believe that vegetables and fruits are the key to a healthy diet and helping people lose weight.

Having seen lots of articles and advertisements on diet, my views on diet have not changed much. No doubt, it has definitely affected me in some ways over my choice of foods. However, because I love meat so much, it’s almost a must for me to have them some sort of it every meal. In fact, I have a slight doubt over the food pyramid shown on the slide today. How can eating meat once a week be enough? That’s almost similar to vegetarians. Are carnivores like the tiger more predisposed to CHDs just because it only eats meat? I seriously doubt it. No doubt I do know that eating ‘nice food’ can make us obese and cause detriment to our health. But food is such a good gift from heaven that sometimes I only think about enjoying it rather than being cautious of it. Perhaps this is why obese people find it difficult to change their diets. They do not usually do anything about their diet until something serious happens to them.

Being overweight – who should be responsible for it? This is a question where the answer seems clear, yet it is somewhat debatable. No doubt, obese people have to be responsible for their own diets and lifestyle. A health professional can advise one to eat less and exercise more, but the overall action and outcome depends on the patient themselves. Saying this, Mr A, a patient whom we interviewed today pointed out something noteworthy. It is true that sometimes obese people are born like this. Their genetic make-up makes them more susceptible to obesity. Who wants to be born fat? No one does. Life is indeed unfair, and the fact that this is so, makes it even more depressing for them. They end up going into a vicious cycle and become even more obese as a result. Who should we blame now? Their parents? Or perhaps themselves. While it would still seem that it is partly their fault for lacking the motivation to lose weight, we have to take into account their plight and emotional stress suffered. Thus, while obese people are responsible for their own weight problems, health professionals should give them the advice and motivation needed to aid them.

In fact, I believe that as long as health professionals have a chance in helping these patients, they should do so. More emphasis can definitely be done on areas such as exercise. Many people such as Mr A and Mrs B say that they do not eat much. However, I believe that it would be difficult for them to say that they have put in conscientious effort into exercise. I was thinking: perhaps we can try making them slightly guilty and embarrassed. That way, they might actually start listening to and obeying their doctors.

A Fresh New Beginning

After a good new year's dinner and stuff, it was kind of a jaded start to the new year with school work and stuff. Just as i was feeling crappy and not being able to download my bleach after i jammed the server, i stumbled upon my once favourite movie, Beautiful Life! I'm so glad that i did coz it kind of reminds me that we should seize the beautiful things in our life while we can and do whatever we can to make it a good one. And now, i feel well again!

Yiling, i hope u'll apply the above for your exams and good luck with it. For the rest of u, hope you guys have a fruitful new year ahead of you.
