The Line

Different people have different limits to things that they can tolerate. When being asked questions, there lies a limit between conversational material and private stuff. To what extent is some queries considered invasion of privacy? That totally depends on each person. Some enjoy having everyone know everything about their life whereas others are rather private with their lives. How does one choose when to make known to the questioning party their limit? How does one ward off questions that they do not feel like answering? What constitutes a rude reply? Does replying with a question constitutes rude reply? Does a no reply fall under the rude category?


Sometimes, the interpretation of different individuals gives rise to conflicts and communication breakdown. A very same simple sentence could be interpreted differently by different individuals. Perception also causes different interpretation to take place. If one perceives a person as bad, everything that the person that is perceived bad does will be considered bad. Even if that person is right. One's emotions also contributes to how one interprets something. When one is in a good mood, everything will seem right.


Sometimes a problem might not even be a problem at all. Why complicate things by turning anthills into mountains when it is not even a problem to begin with? Is it worth pushing things to the point of no return? Why not choose a different approach? Threats in any form is of no help in getting answers. If the limit has been reached, why not wait for a better opportunity to re ask the question that has been rephrased? Pushing too hard is going to get you no where.

Humid

I really hate the weather now. It is so warm that I am feeling really agitated. It is so hot yet I am not exactly sweating. It is more like sweat being trapped under the skin. This hot, unbearable weather seems to be heaven for mosquitoes. The mosquitoes seems to breeding like nobody's business. I suppose mosquitoes get horny in hot weather. This weather has turned me into mosquito feed. If I could charge mosquitoes for every sip that they take, I will be really rich in no time. Why does the pest swatter have to seize working at this time.

Curvy Christmas 2008

Wow! Can't belief it is March already. Time really flies. Anyway this is a backdated post of Christmas. It took so long to be updated partly due to laziness and also because well, if everything was posted back in December, there won't be much to be posted for the following months.






The outdoor decoration.







Not too sure what the theme was but the concourse area was decorated with pixies and animals.




Short neck giraffe with long legs.


































Happy bear.

Nuts over Knut

I saw Knut in the newspaper today and this cute little fluffy creature has caught my heart. Poor Knut was rejected by its mother. Knut is a really adorable polar bear cub.

Front view of Knut.




Knut covering its eyes with its paws.




Knut waving again.

Knut in the snow.





Knut touching its face. Hope its not having a headache.

I am loving him more by the minute. Wish I could keep him. I want a polar bear cub.

Sore Throat

My throat has been very sore for over a week now. There is a gigantic ulcer on my throat. The entire area is inflamed. It hurts so badly whenever I swallow food. It even hurts when drinking. I tried taking several types of drinks to soothe the pain. I drank lime juice, pitted lime juice, coconut, herbal tea, and chrysanthemum tea.


When all that didn't work, I resorted to consuming fruits. Yesterday, I bought jambu with sour plum salt from a fruit seller which cost $2 a packet. I felt really cheated for the packets consisted of bits and pieces of the fruits that were cut into various shapes and sizes. It seems that the seller has cut off the spoilt parts of the fruits and sell the unspoilt parts.


I took a bite of the sliced fruit laced with sour plum salt and my throat felt like it has been torched. It hurt so badly. Apparently the salt squirted onto the throat ulcer thus causing the sting. The pain was sensational. Even after consuming the fruits, my throat does not feel better.

Gay

I came across something peculiar today. We were driving past our neighbour's house on our way back from dinner and spotted the neighbour's dog with its head hanging out between the gate bars. Nothing extraordinary since he likes to squeeze his oversized head between the gate bars.


Today however, he was doing something I have never seen before (for dogs). He was rubbing his head against another male dog which was seating outside his gate. The gesture was rather intimate akin to necking. Rather strange for two male dogs to be intimate. The even weirder thing is that this neighbour's dog dislikes female dogs. Whenever female dogs come close to his territory, he will bark non stop. I never knew of the existence of gay dogs until I witness this today. The gay culture has spread to man's best friend. Gosh, if the male dogs start humping each other will that be considered sodomy?

Valentine's

My Valentine- Martina McBride






A nice song with a title for that special day. Happy Valentine's Day.

Skin Deep

Recently my skin has been really dry. I have not experienced this before. Usually it just gets better by itself. However I think the problem is skin deep this time. It started out as dry skin. Thinking that it is due to lack of moisture, I applied moisturiser X to my face. The moisturiser didn't help much as my skin still felt tight so I decided to use another type of lotion.


I applied lotion Y onto my face yesterday thinking that it might be better since the description was sevenfold (the label states the seven uses(wonders) of the lotion). Not long after applying the lotion, my face began to itch. Trying to ignore the itch, I went to bed. But the itch just got worse. So I got up and washed my face to get rid of the lotion. However, after washing, the itch persisted. In fact it got worse. It itched throughout the night. I hardly had any sleep because it itched so badly.


My face has itched the whole day and is now covered in red patches. What do I do now? I have tried using ice to soothe the itch but it only works when the ice is on my face. I can't stop the itch and I am worried about the effects of the itch. Help! I need a dermatologist's advice. Please assure me that it is just an allergic reaction towards the cosmetic product.

Simple words to a new beginning

How often do people update their profiles, photos and shout outs on facebook, MSN, friendster and other website? Very often for those who are hardworking. I don't happen to fall under this category when it comes to updating profiles and photos. My friendster, facebook and MSN has not been updated since being set up.


There was a fellow, whom I do not know but added me on friendster. He sent me a message which read "....did you notice someone staring at you during the event?". My answer to which I did not reply him is "No". Well anyway, back then before Friendster incorporated the allow access function everyone was allowed to add anyone and instantly appear as a friend in the list. And that was how he ended up in my list. A couple of years later, this fella sent me another message. This time the message read "So sell hard". I suppose he was referring to my profile description in which I have not update since coming into being. And I think the message should have been "hard sell". Anyway, that didn't garner any reply as well.


Yesterday, while chatting with a friend of mine, he pointed out that my MSN shout out has not been updated for the past 2 years. He then gave me suggestions on how I could change the messages posted. He suggested that instead of "Why does it always rain on me?", the message should instead be "Why does it always shine on me? again". What he said is really true. I should post new, positive shout outs. Everything should be on a positive note. New year new beginning. Thank you for your suggestions. Sometimes, simple words will really change things.

Year of the Ox 2009

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! It certainly took quite a while to get this entry up. Have been out and about a lot. Besides, my cousin's computer is a bit of a nuisance of late. It has been showing porn pop-ups for no apparent reason and it is really annoying. I have tried every method I know to hinder the pop ups but what do you know, the pop ups are more advance than my expertise at stopping them.


I have been away from home for two months now. The strange thing is that I do not feel home sick at all. During my time away, I have done good for the society. The country should honour me with an award for I have been contributing a lot to the ailing economy. I have been spending so much on shopping that I am driving my bank account into overdraft.


On New Year's Eve, I dropped by The Gardens and Mid Valley again. I would say I did the fastest shopping that day. Use up the last of my money in the wallet during that trip. My wallet has never been this dry. Thankfully the shops closed early that day. The shutters came down at 3 p.m. . Was walking through this part of the mall when suddenly it was so warm. Darn this mall management. They shut off the air conditioning to chase people out of the mall.


Yesterday, I went to Pavillion again. It wasn't my intention to spend. However, after strolling the mall for a while, I spent money again. I finally found something that I have been looking for (although it was not in my pre-desired colour but it will do). *Sob* I used up one red packet earnings for that. It is only the beginning of the New Year and I am already poorer by a few hundred. *SWEAT* I do have to add, MNG salesgirls are rude. The Pavillion MNG salesgirls are by far the rudest. The company must have a Human Resource department with an attitude problem. Which explains why the people that they hire have attitude issues. Spent a whopping 6 hours in that mall. My legs are aching from the long hours of walking.


Happy Chinese New Year. May the year of the Ox brings me ample good fortune. Red packets in any big currency, namely US$, pound,euro,S$, RM are welcomed. Minimum amount $50.....Maximum amount...No Limit.
