One Wish
If I could have one wish this week, I wish time would slow down and for me to have a bigger and smarter brain. I need more time! Why is it so difficult to piece things together? Why do I take so long to complete something? Why do I have to be a sloth? WHY? Where is the wishing well when you need one.

100th entry - Thermometoe
Finally I've reached my 100th post mark. Phew.
Not too long ago, I discovered that I have a superpower. That does not make me a mutant. I found that I am able to tell temperature without looking at the thermometer. My body is able to indicate temperature. Cool eh? It is not the typical way your body tells you about the temperature. For most people, they will shiver when it is cold and sweat when it is hot. Well, the same happens to me but with an addition.
My toes functions like the thermometer, telling me whether the 'room' temperature is cool, cold, very cold or freezing.How my toes indicate the temperature? Well, it has a colour scheme.
This is how it works. When the 'room' temperature is:
* Cool --> Pink
* Cold --> Purple
* Very Cold --> Blue
* Freezing --> probably frostbite (yet to experience)
Neat eh?

A Piece of A Begger's Mind
This afternoon, I went to pay respect to my grandmother's "memorial plaque" (a.k.a. san chi pai). An old lady entered the premise while everyone was busy paying respect to the memorial plaques. She approached everyone that she sees. After paying my respect, I went to the basin to wash my hands. I stood nearby waiting for my parents whom went to enquire some things. The old lady headed towards my back. She approached me from behind.
Old Lady: Hello...hello...hello... (from soft audible to loud audible)
Me: (Turns around to face her)
Old Lady: Can you give me some money? (Ni ker yi kei wo chien ma?)
Me: I don't have any money with me now.
(Seriously my bag wasn't with me. It was with my mum)
The old lady started scolding me for not giving her money. Then a young couple walked into the premise. The old lady instantly approached them to ask for alms. The young man initially listened to her attentively. After a while, he excused himself from the old lady (whom was obviously very unhappy already). The old lady then approach his female companion for alms. The young lady who was busy sms-ing looked up. At this time, her male companion called out to her and shook his head. She then followed him. Not a very good harvest for this old lady today.
It is not that we are selfish. The thing is this old lady is bold in demanding what she wants for alms. She is one choosy beggar that is not contented with what she is given. She goes around not only in this premise but throughout town, asking people to buy her a sack of rice,etc. My dad once bought her a sack of rice after hearing her tale. After she got her rice, she did not immediately leave for home as she had described in her pitiful tale. Instead she approaches others telling the same tale hoping to get more. It makes one wonder, what does an old lady do with so many sacks of rice? How much does she and her family consume in a day? Why hasn't the social welfare looked into such sad cases (if what she claims is true)?

WGP
I have set a new goal for myself. I am going to start a weight gaining program (WGP). The ultimate goal is to gain 3 to 5 kgs by November. I have always had weight issues.
The scenario that I face is:
"I can shed pounds but I can't gain an ounce".
The norm has always been the thins mocking the fat. However times have changed. The reverse is happening now. The fat are in control and they are making fun of the thins. Walruses are now walking up to seals and telling them, "I'm sexy because I have 'curves'(blubber/spare tyres)".
Apparel manufacturers are also more generous with their fabric these days. Presumably prices of cloth has decreased leading to manufacturers making bigger outfits and offering consumers better value for their money. This leaves us (the slender) with no choice but to force ourselves to grow horizontally in order to fit into the clothes available in the market. Otherwise, we would be Adam and Eve of modern times.
Soon slimming centers will run out of business as the lard empire reigns. In order not to be oust by our lardy counterparts, slender people need to pad up on the lard to survive in a lardy, tardy society. Fat rules!

Ms USA falls during Ms Universe pageant
Ms USA 2008
Ms USA 2007
For two consecutive years, Ms USA ends up on their butt. Have the designers not learn the lesson? The dress design has bad feng shui. Ms USA should choose another design for the dress next year. They should probably get a better shoe designer and use rosin before stepping onto stage.

Sex Curse
Archaeologists has uncovered a sex curse at an old city kingdom of Amathus, in Cyprus. The curse inscribed in Greek on a lead tablet has one part which reads: "May your penis hurt when you make love".
What great sense of humour those ancient people have. Pretty sure it was "written" by angry women or gay men who are frustrated by the humiliation that they have to endure with unfaithful partners. If this curse really works, perhaps all females should try it. What do you think ladies?

New Toy
I got a new toy for my birthday. The thing is I don't really know how it functions. It has yet to finish charging. Anyway, it is my first Apple. Uncertain how to get it started. It doesn't come with a software CD, so I was wondering, do I need to download it or something to make the gadget work? I am using a non apple computer, is it possible to load tunes from my computer into it or do I have to load from Apple?

Cataract
Lappy has cataract and is losing vision in one "eye". Sobs. The condition appeared a couple of months back and has worsen since. It started with one line. Then it multiplied to many more. Then *poof* one block appeared. The cataract is making it difficult for both of us. Difficult for Lappy to show and difficult for me to see. I can't loose Lappy. I still need Lappy. *sob sob*.
