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...

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

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.

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!!!
