You have been warned!

Wasabi - The Best!

Wasabi, the movie. Simply funny!

PS. Watch out for the end of the clip. The way she pumps it is kinda lol. =)




Subtitles later if anyone really really wants it. Too lazy for now. =p

A Typical Day At Pbl (Or was that Atypical?)

"Ah, so what? He's going to die sooner or later!"

"Erm, statistically speaking, you're wrong. He has a 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of living forever."

"Yeah. Right. So you're going to live forever?"

"Me? Well, I'm going to live forever or die trying."

=)

Yuki + Icky

What's 6 degrees of seperation when it's 6 degrees of celcius now?

Wait, it just dropped to 3.

Maybe I'll get to see the 1st snowfall? =p



EDIT: Somehow I get reminded by what I heard in class - "For God's sake, if you're going to donate your body to science, at least get your act together and lose those fats!"

People with fatty layers as thick as my entire ARM are just to slick to handle. Everything gets so slippery and you just have to watch where and how your standing is.

Literally.

PS. I think it resembles cooled down Western style cheap chinese food. The kind which is very "nutritious". Or at least that's the general consensus. =p

1 + 1 = 2, 2+ 2 = 4, ... What comes next?

Well, today's a cold cold day. As exemplified by my friend whose nick is cccccolddddd


Yeah.

And so, since my mind is on brainfreeze, (as are my fingers, except that they are on fingerfreeze), let me share with you some stories with more substance than the previous posts.


Firstly, heard of the phrase that "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts"? Mathematically, if a, b and c are the parts, a+b+c > a+b+c.

Yup, math. Very substanceful indeed!



And secondly, a picture of me was taken. A picture that was used to apply for the Working With Children thing. A picture that looks like I'm some ex-convict with a grudge against the world. The kind whose idea of "hello" is "what's your problem, punk?"

No wonder kids just gurgle with delight when they see me.

Mmhmm.

Trick or What?

Why am I here? I should be sleeping. :(

But if anyone out there is interested, this is THE best magic trick! Like seriously! Even if you hate magic tricks, watch it. =)




Or this, if you have different tastes =p

Random Post

Well, this could be the 3rd or the 1st.

Depending on what you want as a reaction. "3rd strike, you're out!" and all that, you know?






















Don't say I didn't warn you.













Unless you scroll from up to down, which makes this the only warning you'll get.















Actually even if you scroll from bottom to top I guess this is STILL the only warning you'll get.

Oh well. Just consider this the "fine print" section then. =p

Another Random Post

Yup, another one.

Random Post

Cold temperature can slow growth rates but not to any clinically significant degree (pun intended).

BRR! Can you believe it? This was on a medical page! Doctors really still retain a shred of humour! Well, I guess they do have their own versions of humors, as do everyone else. Like this kind of humor, and that kind of humor. Even so, you'd wonder why not everybody is not doubly humerous..

I think I'm steering too far off. Somebody care to give me a hand? (Don't mind that I've already got 2 of my own)

Conspiracy Theories

Health practice is really abbreviated as GG, not HP as they want you to believe. Seriously, who would name a course after the handphone? That sounds too much like some course offered to noobs at a university set up by Nokia or Sony Ericsson or whichever mobile phone maker rocks your boat.

It does sound better than Handphones 101: The Idiots' Guide to Modern Technology.

But anyway, since I'm so kind, I'll just give GG the boot and kindly ask it to go take a hike.

I love..

I love the way how my pc looks like a pc mac hybrid!

Yeah, among other things =p

Hilton's Law

Nope, it's not saying that you should be a total bimbo and get famous for appearing in your very own "home video"!

It just means that if you have a really bad shoulder muscle pain, dislocate it hard enough to sever the axillary nerve. Hey, no pain no gain!

Incidentally there are at least 2 Paris Hiltons! I'm not kidding! Go on, take a look! [Don't worry, nothing "home video" here =p]

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton




PS. This is meant as a joke. Self-mutilation is considered criminal in most countries, and mostly regarded as "wrong" practically everywhere else. Please, don't be an idiot!

Shorts

Shorts:
1. Short film or story
2. Apparel you wear over the lower limbs as a sign of modesty, protection against the elements, or just because








3 bimbos were at the local shopping centre one day and walked past a bedding store.

As if on cue, all 3 look at each other and scream hysterically, "Pillow fight!"












When 2 bone warriors from rival gangs just happened to pop into the same bar to have a pint, guess what happened?

Osteophyte!












Enraged, Bone Man [Boner just sounds ... wrong] screamed at the thief, "Justice will prevail criminal! Take this! Osteoblast!"














One day, a surfer happened upon a blog entry. Not in the ocean, but in the electronic ocean of 1s and 0s. After reading it, the cybersurfer was hyperventilating with reliable witness reports stating that sentences like "What??" and "Rubbish!" were heard. Advanced digital non-analogue techniques revealed part of the entry (reproduced below:)

Everybody has a reaction to shorts. Either they liked it a lot, hated it or just didn't care since the short was either lame, nonsensical, unrelated, uncomfortable, looked idiotic or caused a wedgie. But, there is universal agreement that nobody likes a person with a short fuse, especially if the fuse leads to something interesting like black bowling balls or red sticks. Except perhaps for the person who lit the fuse in the first place.
























There is something else too.























Something that...













...at the moment escapes my memory's feeble clutches.













Goodbye, we'll miss you something else.

Short Shots

Shh, Billie's coming in! Get ready, we're going to give him some acute lead poisoning!

Attention Ducky: You Are Being Charged Under Suspicion of Inciting Occurences of Blog Tags! Resistance is Futile!

Ducky must think I'm pretty free to do this. That studies aren't weighing down on me. That I've some free time to splurge on this thing.

Well I guess he's right since here it is!

The Rules:

1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense.
4. Comment on it.
5. Tag 5 people.


Well, since I don't have a music player (a physical one that I use regularly), does Winamp count? The one that is currently playing like just one album. Wahahas!

Maybe not.

So here goes, library on..sh..shu..[loading please wait]...shuff...[loading]..shuff..[I SAID PLEASE WAIT]... ... ... ...[complete!] ... shuffle!

1) How are you feeling today?
There She Goes - Sixpence None the Richer
Well, if by "she" it means "the exam", then yeah. There she goes.

Whether up or down only time (and God, and the examiners) will tell.



2) Will you get far in life?
Redefine - Incubus
Haha, yeah. Please redefine the question! =p



3) What's your best friend's theme song?
Words - Beyonce
Hmm, since when did this thing appear on my computer? I don't even know how it sounds like! Oh well, there's my best friend's grand entrance for you folks..



4) What is the story of your life?
听海 - 张惠妹
[How does this go again?]

Hmm, now that I've found the lyrics >.<>


5) What was high school like?
Redefine - Incubus
Eh, my library is not that small leh! LOLZ! Well it did redefine my goals in life.



6) How can you get ahead with life?
Words - Boyzone
Yeah, words are important. That's why they teach Effective Communication Skills and the Theory of Communication in school. (Don't forget the CAPITAL LETTERS!) And yes, that's why there is the saying that more than half the population of India is comprised of lawmakers and lawyers.



7) What's the best thing about your friends?
Ji Ba Pan - Unknown
Wahaha! This is classic. Yes, it's good to have friends who have ji ba pan ($1 million)! Buy a plane, tour the world and jiak spaghetti! =D



8) Describe your grandparents.
The Cage - Travis
Hmm. They don't really cage anybody. Nor are they caged (what, you think they're lions?). Maybe they did some time in the cage? You know, like the Mixed Martial Arts cage fights! That would be like way cool! (Except that MMA didn't really come about till the past decade or so :S).



9) How's your life going?
Truth No.2 - Dixie Chicks
Truthfully? My life is going ahead like a number 2. Go figure.

12) What do your friends really think of you?
Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz
Oh ho! So that's what they really think! Maybe I should get a job as Santa. Or his helper. You know, the one who goes "I know who's been naughty and who's been nice."



13) Do people secretly lust after you?
Respect - Train
Hmmm, secretly, respectfully lust after me? No wonder I havn't been like jumped on and [censored] and [censored] and [censored] like a jackrabbit. I suppose I should just picture these respectfully lustful people as really, really distastefully, abominably, pukingly ugly and be thankful.



14) How can you make yourself happy?
Death of a Martian - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Well. Find me a Martian and I'll willingly do the autopsy!



15) Will you ever have children?
Waterfalls - TLC
This. Is. Different? Hahas. It even beats Jay Chou's song where he goes "The rain falls the whole night//My love juice comes out like rain"! We are talking of torrents of waterfalls man! At least I'll be that much closer to having children compared to some poor British folk.



16) What song would you strip to?
不懂 - 林俊杰
Hehe, yup that's right. I wouldn't know! (不懂 = don't know)

Key To My Life - Boyzone
Hmm. I guess it's like Judas' gospel. Without me, there is no enemy! LOL!

God Knows the Way - Don Moen
Not exactly there yet in terms of actions but yeah, God knows the way.



21) What will be played at your wedding?
Wish I Could - Lene Marlin
Wish I could? Do what? Proceed onto honeymoon now? Live happily ever after? Not pay for the wedding expenses?



Well, here's the part where I tag people. But since I'm the kind of person who's opposed to spam, chain mails and all that, I tag the first 5 people who read this. You know who you are!

PS. Don't forget, I know who's been naughty and who's been nice! =p

PPS. Not all resistance is futile. In fact, resistance is diagnostic in some cases.

Timetable's Out

Yeah, and it has totally nothing to do with School's Out! Or maybe a bit, since I do know when school is officially out. =p

Incidentally, the timing for PRAC says "All day hours".

Poor us, having to do pracs the WHOLE DAY! :(

Diamonds are forever

But so is mercury poisoning.

And aspirin (only if you're a platelet).

Question:

Statistically speaking, there are more unbelievers than there are believers in Christ.

And of those who believe there are less who choose to accept Him as savior and king.

So, the devil wins more souls than heaven.

How does God win the war again? :(

so..

So the dog is Man's best friend.

Is the polyglot Woman's best friend? Or does that honour go to lumps of carbon?



Good thing I'm not obese. This sort of stress could trigger Gaisböck polycythemia.

Hungry and sleepy should be studying but what am I doing?

On another note, there's just so many variants of BLATANT spam to "pleasure her all night" or "be a man". And that's not the "do the right thing" sort!

I mean, come on! Whoever in their right mind sends you an email that says "Hey [insert entire email username here] enlarge your man-thing/scare her with your enormous shlong"?! Ok, if your email was something like thecoolestguyintheworld@whatevermail.com you might get a kick out of it the first few times [you egoist!] but if it's ramos79@everydaymail.com it just sounds silly.

Downright silly.

That'd be like shooting off a mail to Bill Gates with a subject that screams "Hey BillGates55". Hardly the sort of thing a business proposal needs.

BUT!

But I like the way the try to jumble up the letters of the words.

Viagra
Ivagra
Vagira
Vigaar
Giavra

Wow! 600 different combinations to play around with (and look silly doing it!)

Way cool =)


EDIT: Now there's this new one! "Get a [professional-sized] pecker!"

Oh my goodness! Hahas! So do they come in sizes? Professionally large pecker, professionally small pecker, wood pecker..

Just wondering, do they come packaged and are batteries included? =p

Hot As Ice

You know the wonderful feeling you get when you're mountain climbing? Yes, that lovely feeling that no worries, it's all good.


Unfortunately that's not really what's happening if you happen to be at 12,000 feet above sea level. That's more like the hypoxia-induced euphoria that precedes another unfortunate clinical syndrome - death.

Or if you're a perverted idiot that's the hypoxia-induced euphoria you get before you strangle yourself to death.

Not much different really, just a change in scenery. You know, the usual stuff, like "Nature" scenery followed by a really bleak white cold nothingness and then the afterlife in the first compared to "Whereever you plan on strangling yourself" and "horned demons" and "plenty of everlasting suffering" scenery in the latter.

And yes, just another random thing - reminds me of what a friend put on his msn nick - "Are you hot...as ice?"

What a clever oxymoron.

I Know Something

Do you know something?

Actually, it's about somebody in your life.

To be more precise, it's about the person who gave birth to you.

You see, that person, the one who gave birth to you, she's your mother.

It's the truth!

Let's Be Inclusive

The thing about exclusivity is that it only seems attractive if you are within the group. If you are deemed "not good enough" or "not exclusive enough" to gain admittance within the "in" group, somehow it's suddenly not a good thing.

But then again, it could have always been a bad thing whether or not you made their mark.



"Please include me in the No-Spam-No-Telemarketing list!"

Eye Sea Ewe

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But then is the aqueous humor.

What Doesn't Kill You..

What doesn't kill you might not make you stronger.

It might just be waiting to kill you later on.

At least that's what happens with thrombosis and thromboembolism.

At any rate, the person would be toast. Or was that ptosed?

Beware What You Wish For

Just read an article about how a government wanted to achieve a situation with zero-dependence on foreign labour. It just reminds me of something in Joe Heller's awesome book Catch-22. In it, the main character Yossarian (yes, the Assyrian Supraman, not Super-man) exclaims in exasperation that he doesn't want what he wants.

Silly sounding, but makes sense in a way.

How many times have you ever regretted wanting something so badly but it turned out to be either a disappointment, unattainable or just plain bad for you? I guess that's what Yossarian was driving at (instead of being just mad =p).

Beware indeed!

Good News and Bad News

There was a tombstone at the cemetery, and on it was carved a most sorrowful poem about how much the husband missed his late wife. In it, he promised to wait for her, no matter how long or how hard it would be.

However, on right of the tombstone was the husband's grave. On it too, was a tombstone.

It was dated one year after the wife's date of death.

Say NO To Bacteria!

Isn't it ironic the stuff that helps in reproduction (more specifically the thing that causes things to rise to the occasion) is also the same thing that might kill you?

Or maybe it's not that ironic after all.

Mmm

"Hey Loiuse, what were you discussing about with him just now?" asked Kebob.

"Oh, we were just talking about some world politics and the mindlessness of the MAD policy," replied Loiuse.

"MAD? What's that?"

"That's just an acronym for mutually assured destruction. It's a nuclear deterrent policy, where both sides have nuclear warheads pointed on all the important areas and structures of the opposite side. In case one side decides to be rash about it and starts launching it's nukes, the other side would retaliate with equally lethal power. Basically it relies on the premise that each side wouldn't want a nuclear wasteland as their backyard."

"That's mad!"

"Sheesh, Kebob! Of course it's MAD! What do you think I was blabbering about, Macs?"

"Geez, Louise! No need to get all fired up over it."

The Heart Doesn't Suck!

"Hey, you suck!" cried out Brain.

"I certainly do not, you ball of noodle-y worms! Contrary to popular belief, I don't suck. That's the job of the twins over there," huffed Heart.

"Hmph, we'd appreciate if you leave us out of this! We suck just to keep you alive you know!" returned the Lung twins in unison without so much as a crackle...

Please read disclaimer at the end of the article first as this is a read-at-your-own-risk article with a really ridiculously long title that's so -_-"

Contrary to common belief, it's not love that keeps us alive.

In fact, it's not even money, or any variant of such a reward system (well, maybe not all variants - see below).

What then is it?

Well, C3, 4, 5 keeps us alive.

To be specific, the C3 to C5 ventral rami which supply the phrenic nerve, which is the only source of innervation to the diaphragm, which is the only reliable muscle that keeps us breathing, which in all probability is the thing that keeps all of us alive.

As for the variant of rewards systems, I guess the reward of being continually alive drives us to continue living. Although that isn't really the main reason why we are alive.



P.S. For smart-alecks out there who point out to the artificial lung as a mode of keeping us alive, please realise that you are a smart-aleck. If that fails, it is imperative that you understand that the artificial lung is after all, artificial; also, only a select handful of people in this world have the chance to actually experience it. So, if you truly still believe that artificial lungs keep us alive, maybe you should consider quitting your job as a smart-aleck, and apply for a position that involves breathing through a respirator.

Of Circles and Squares

I'm sorry to all the people who have been wondering where I am for the past month. The fact is that there was some problem with getting an Internet connection that was stable, but now everything has been sorted out and here I am again!

Hopefully with a greater passion to blog. Or not, depending on how things turn out. Hahas..I guess I am another inconstant blogger. :O Surprise, surprise..

Anyway..

The topic of the day is circles. Like those round-ish things you see when a plate is presented to you, or like those 7 circle-ish things in this sentence. Permit me to digress, if you will. Circles are a really big thing in life. You have the circle of life, which many societies believe in. There are the carbon and nitrogen (among others) cycles, which is almost universally accepted by those who know their science well. The full moon, which is a circle, holds special place in Chinese and Western mythologies. So it is no small surprise when circles are incorporated into martial arts, both Eastern and Western. There are circles in the principles of sticky hands in Wing Chun, circles traced by the hands of an opponent being brought down by Aikido practitioners, arc-ing circles made by kicks in Capoeira (indeed, there's even a half moon kick!). Heck, even boxing has rudimentary half circles in their uppercuts and when ducking.

Well the thing that struck me about circles today is that it can be of any size. Of course, it seems quite obvious now that I say it out but you know sometimes how certain things become so basic that they do not consciously register in your mind? (Yeah, like grammar stuff..past participles and the like) But as the sensei said, "He's got long arms, it's perfect for you to train the big circles!" I guess what he wanted to drive in was that one should always start from the basics and work their way up, not directly jump to the end. At least, that's what taichi masters usually espouse. And yes, it supposedly takes a person practically their whole life to master taichi techniques. Why else do you think all those people learning taichi usually start off doing motions so slowly? Yes, definitely speed and smaller circles are much more economical and effective, but I guess sometimes you just need to slow down, to take in the essence of things. A small flaw introduced to a beginner might not look too obvious (especially since everything isn't really tip top anyway), but once firmly set in and allowed to proceed, it is greatly magnified later on.

One thing at a time, and build on from there. Or as ancient master used to say in his long lost teachings.. .. .. hmmm, actually there's a reason why his teachings are long lost.

And about sqaures.

There was some significant point about squares, but somehow it just slipped the author's mind a minute ago. If it ever comes back, or is significant, you'll be the first to know. =p

The Joke That Which We Shall Not Use

"Hi honey!" Eve called out.

Not realising that this would be the last day of his life, Adam replied, "Happy Valentine's Day Eve! Or was that Happy Valentine's Day, Eve?!"

Ironic

Have you ever picked up a pirated disc, be it a song or a movie, and looked at the small print? The part which warns that unauthorized copying or distributing of the said media is unlawful? Now that's irony.

Another Silly Post That Will Leave You Regretting Spending 5 Minutes of Your Life On But Can't Do Anything About Since Time Flows Forward Only

Looking around, the boy found an empty seat. During this period in time, mamak stalls were usually crowded like this, so he was quite glad to find somewhere to sit. After ordering his usual (plain old roti with dhal and a cup of milo dinosaur - the perfect meal to clog up your arteries) he glanced around. A particular gang of people huddled around the corner table caught his eye, especially the one who looked like he was in control. Covered with various twisting, grotesque tattoos, he probably was some gangster leader - someone you never trifled with. Nor stared at too long, he realised dismally as the leader noticed him staring. Turning round, the walking hunk of art-covered muscle started approaching the boy.

Please, sir, please! I wasn't looking for a fight, thought the boy. His legs felt like jelly.

"What's your problem punk?!" yelled the smooth-skinned thug at the cowering boy.

"Pimples."

Fa Sang Hu

Due to certain circumstances, I've quite a surplus of fa sang hu, or peanut paste. Friends and family are all invited to drop by for some!

[For those who don't know what that is, click on the title to see a picture. For those who don't don't know, it should be clear that it's a type of tong sui.]

I'm Not Yet A Board/Bored Certified Physician

And so, the Great Pretender should not be confused with the Great Imitator.

Gosh, am I bored?

No Obscenities Please

In fact, this infraction leading to the infection might cause an infarction.
