How To Avoid Falling In Love
Read this on CNN: How To Avoid Falling In Love
Wow. Someone should have read this long time ago! :)
1. Date only the wildly inappropriate: If you're an early riser, date a party boy who'll turn your mornings into misery. If you're a Sporty Spice, trawl the local comic books store and land yourself a sweet dork who couldn't arm-wrestle his way out of a Mylar bag (that's what they store comics in, FYI). Eventually, the novelty of dating The Other will wear off, and you'll be single again, but without any of the heartache that usually accompanies breakups.
2. Take up recreational complaining: Whine about your health, your stress level, your childhood, the meal you just ate. If it exists, you can put a negative spin on it.
3. Pair the bitching and moaning with bragging: If you're artful enough, you can combine the two. "I'm so tired because I was out all night at a totally hot new restaurant, fending off some guy named Josh ... something ... Hartnett? Anyway, apparently he's an actor. I don't know because I don't own a television. I'm far too busy with my literature to watch movies."
4. Develop an annoying catchphrase and use it constantly: Why? "Cause I'm a GIRL!" or "Catch ya on the flipside!" are fairly effective man deterrents to call into play if a date is going too well. Extra points if you can combine it with an obnoxious hand gesture.
5. If, God forbid, you find yourself starting to really like a guy, pick out his negative traits: Believe me, even Mr. Right has a little wrong. It can be anything -- his pecs might be too firm, his taste in cinema could be too smart, or maybe he's just too good looking. I mean, who wants to go out with someone prettier than you?
If you look hard enough, you'll find something. Then, every time you start to fall, you can stop yourself by focusing on his ragged cuticles or sometimes-difficult-to-de cipher French accent.

Pictures on FB Can Risk You To Jail
Two people have been arrested for eating an endangered species of iguana in the Bahamas after posting pictures of the grill on Facebook.
Vanessa Starr Palm, 23, of Illinois and Alexander Daniel Rust, 24, of Indiana, were arrested last Monday after pictures of the two having an iguana feast in the islands were posted on the social networking website.
According to police the pictures showed them "catching an iguana, parts of an iguana on a grill, two men eating the iguana pieces, and a man and a woman cleaning what appears to be undersized conch."--source: Metro
We really need to be aware of what pictures we post on the internet. Save you from being summoned/arrested.

Memory Cards & Thumb Drives
I was surveying about memory cards and thumb drives due to the mass distribution in the market nowadays. Then it struck me about the reliability of these memory cards. Most of the chips are imported from Hong Kong. How reliable are they? Lets talk about thumb drives. Hobbit and I both bought similar thumb drives and has the same capacity of 2G. How ever, his worked perfectly well when hooked to our DVD player and mine does not even get the player to start reading what is on it. Back to memory cards, people claim that some memory cards claim to be as big but really they are not what they claim to be. One person on the net has this claim:In China some supplier use this program to cheat their clients, when you take properties from the computer it show that it's 2GB but as real it's only 512MB, the only easy way to test is copying something near 1.88GB on it. if after 512MB it reported that memory is full then you can be 100% sure that you cheated. What do you think?

Not So Sporty
My Sunday mornings are all taken away as for now. I never felt so liberated waking up early on Sundays until this morning. I managed to do the frog stand and rolling stunts according to the time and numbers required. I was jumping with joy and made a lot of silly noises together with the rest of the early birds.
The last move I did was 30 times push-ups. I was counting while doing it and was half dead when I reached 30. I was flat on the floor!! Later on I tried doing the head stand only to my embarrassment that I should curve my waist a bit as it could support my body instead of trying hard to straighten both my legs up! How foolish! Next weekend I am determined to conquer and finish up with the back roll!
Practicing it alone gave me endless sight of twinkling stars! Someone envied my frog stand that they claim to swallow all the weight loss pill the next week before they come. Haha! Well, I give credits to my dad for sending me to Ballet school at age 6 when fragility isn't a hindrance to twist and curl! I wished I had continued taking lessons.
After scouting endlessly for my LiliLala, we headed home, cooked, relaxed and took a long nap until 8pm. It's 12:02am now and I am not yet yawning!
It's Monday! Oh!!

Not German but Euro English
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

Lega
I am relief that the observations were over for me. This past week I have been super-duper busy with work, work and work. I had to prepare a lot of stuff for the last quarter and had to write several letter and fill in several forms for certain people and now I these things made me want to forget about formality for a while.
While hanging around the guidance office with some of my buddies, we accidentally discussed about cerebral palsy, what it is and how it might affect kids. It was an interesting discussion since we really wanted to find out how we could help kids with this kind of problem. Anyway, none of our kids suffers from this kind of disease. Just that counseling branches out to so much more out there!
Anyway, I have two more classes to catch and a student to supervise. My eye-lids are slowly going down due to the weather. It has been hazy and gloomy lately.
As of now, I am so looking forward for what God has in stored for me for the next school year. I don't know whether to be excited for it or just let it be. Time to go...gotta fly! :)

Humans in Magz Cheated
I started paying attention and reading glamorous magazines at an early age of 10. At this age, my family were in Keningau running businesses on their own. At this age, my siblings and I pretty much were left to our nannies since our parents were 24/7 busy building up their supermarket. Although we live just a floor above the store, we hardly see our parents let alone our staff workers. We were not allowed to hang around the store for fear that we might get too out of control. During my free time after school, I would walked into our nannies room and curl myself up on the bed and just browse and read all the malay hit magazines that they used to subscribe just from the bookstore across our store. Engrossed into reading gossips column, I can't help looking at all the slim and pretty faces, the fashion, the hair style, the long legs, the make ups and all that made the models in the mags looked dolly-perfect! My shallow perception as a 10 years old thought they were born to be famous since they were all nothing but skin, bones and pretty! I recal l running to a mirror right after I saw Deanna Yusof's picture with her sexy body pose and tried to immitate her pose and was quite dissapointed with my far-beyond-Deanna's-short legs! Ahh, I knew right there that I wasn't born to be in the lime lights and that celebrities are celebrities. They are not normal people. They are perfect! Little did I know until I came across all these plastic surgeries, best diet pills, butox, photoshops and so on that were behind all the beauties I once defined beauty. As I grew out of the innocent age, I slowly began to understand the phrase that my dad used to tell me all the time when I started showing interest in my mom's make ups. He said "Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder." How true is that? Today, I want to be reminded by dad that Beauty is not defined by all the glitters, make-ups and fame. What matters is you being yourself!

Doodle Kids
I was on my way to school this morning when I heard Melissa (FM107.0 DJ) told about this boy named Lim Ding Wen, a 9 year old boy who has created an application for the Apple iPhone that allows users to "fingerprint" on the phone's touch screen. He named the program Doodle Kids and has actually created the program for his little sister. How sweet is that??
I remember taking C++ course and could hardly survived with all the programming language to be learned. It's not easy. Reading electronics blog about the joy of programing didn't help either. Here we have this young, genius kid writing a program for the latest trend iPhone?? According to his father, Ding Wen has been writing programs since he was 7 years old. Since the father himself is a chief technology officer himself, it is no wonder that the son picked up programing like a piece of cake! :) Read more about this story here.

Fat Thin
I found this poem here by Susan Sparks.
I'm fat, I'm fat
We can't have that.
I want to be thin
Cuz thin is in.
If thin is in,
Then why do I stick out?
Cuz I eat too much
I have no doubt.
Because I am a glutton
I cannot button
My shirt--
Or my skirt.
Jack Sprat
Could eat no fat
And his wife could eat no lean.
What exactly does this mean?
Jack Sprat was thin
Cuz thin was in
And his wife was fat
Cuz fat was where it's at.
Snickers bars and Almond Joys &nb sp;
Potato chips and Chips Ahoys &n bsp;
Caramel popcorn and natural fructose
On comes the pounds and the celluose.
I am now comatose
Because of an overdose
Of food.
How rude.
I just got home from the restaurant
Where I ate almost anything I want.
I'm now so full I'm going to be sick.
To eat like that I must be a lunatic.
How I feel I can't describe
I'll call my doctor and ask him to prescribe
Something good for indigestion
And then I'll ask him just one more question:
"How can I lose all this weight I've put on?
I know by now I must weigh a ton."
He'll probably give me his two cents worth
And proceed to ask me "How on Earth
Can ANYONE eat the way you do?
To eat that much is quite taboo.
There should be a law against the way you eat.
You probably go on a diet just so you can cheat."
To heck with doctors--what do they know?
I'm sure right now I'm on a plateau.
Tomorrow is another day.
I wonder just how much I'll weigh.
I'm fat, I'm fat,
So what--who cares?
So what if my buttocks
Have to sit in two chairs!

It's Only About P-Pens
I recently received a free red promotional pen from a book fair I went to. Suddenly I realized that I haven't been receiving many promotional pens over the previous years compared to how I had so many when I was studying in high school. Well, one reason why I always got a lot of promotional pens in high school was that I was one of the members of the school promotional group at that time. We travel a lot around our provinces and do different kinds of educational promotions. Since I love collecting pens before (not so much now), I love to save myself at least 2 or 3 pens of the same kind whenever sponsors had us distribute them to the schools we visited. Oh well, receiving one recently just brought my memory to all the promotional campaign that my teachers, friends and I had done some years ago. :)
