Happy belated daddy's day!!

I forgot to call my dad and wish him happy father's day...

Just finished editing all the photos, including the NYC ones, but I'm gonna have to post them up tomorrow, because Mike is sleeping right behind me and he will complain and complain that the monitor light affects his sleep lor...

Kuakua...

That, and I wanna continue playing Phoenix Wright!!! Hehehe...

Anyway, I was just reading PostSecret and I saw that these are the things people sent in regarding what their fathers told them when they were kids...

My dad used to say that inside of the car's air-bags was uncooked popcorn. When you wrecked the popcorn would pop and you would have a snack until help came.

When I was little, my dad told me ATMs worked by having little monkeys inside them. I believed that for years. Now I work in a bank, and wish it were true!

My dad told me the worst swear word you could possibly say was "Bostonian". It meant "someone who has no private parts." My brother and I used the word until we were teenagers and my father giggled every time we said it, right before he sent us to our rooms.

When I was little my Dad told me that the tune played by the ice-cream van was the ice-cream man letting everyone know that he'd run out of ice-cream.

When we'd approach exits or toll booths, my father told me the sound the car made when it went over the rumble strips was the car getting angry because I had been bad. I still sit up a little straighter when I hit a rumble strip.


Aren't these so heartwarming and funny?? I like the popcorn and Bostonian ones best!

Thinking back, my daddy never told me nonsense like these before, but my momo did!!


She told me not to eat the papaya seeds when eating papaya, and when I asked her why, she said that the seeds were worms!!!!!


Oh horror of horrors! I still liked the papaya enough to eat it though, but I made sure I got rid of all the seeds before I ate it.

When things are really worms, she said it is not worms lor...

She forced me to drink cordyceps soup and when I saw the corpses of the worms splattered all over the kitchen sink afterwards she still denied that she could cook me worms. -_-

No wonder I grew up to be so warped.

Mike said when he was a kid he was on a road trip with his dad, mom and his brothers, and there was a bird flying really close to the side of the car.

So his dad said something like, "I bet I could hit it," and he really swerved to hit the bird!!!

The bird's parts splattered all over the side of the car with all the intestines and blood and all, and Mike's mom got really pissed at the dad but the boys were all like, "THAT'S AWESOME!!!"

LOL...

(Eh... Animal cruelty aside. Cmon! We kill and eat chickens everyday, intentionally!)

My dad's not funny like that, but it's really easy to make him laugh!

I think that's why I still try to make people laugh up till now, coz I was so used to doing it to my daddy when I was a kid. =)

*randomly juggles colourful balls in attempt to make blog audience laugh*

Tomorrow!


Update:
You fucking retards. Did you all also believe what your mom told you? Really? Till today? CORDYCEPS = WORMS. Don't believe me? Here's the extract from Wikipedia:

Cordyceps sinensis is a species of southeast, mountainous China that attacks caterpillars, specifically the larvae of hepialid moths (identified as species of Hepialus or Thitarodes).

The caterpillars feed on the roots of trees and shrubs on the slopes of the Himalayas. When infected by C. sinensis, the fungus mycelium fills the entire body cavity, killing the host, and the caterpillars die near the tops of their burrows. A dark brown, finger-like stroma sprouts near their heads. The entire fungus-caterpillar combination is hand-collected for medicinal use.


Just so we are clear, we are actually eating the CORPSE of a caterpillar that was infected by fungi.

How disgusting is that, exactly?

Just about as disgusting as when "cordyceps" here was alive:


He is so ugly I almost don't pity him for being attacked by fungi

Auroras

That day after 3 rounds of MJ I was sitting in Lot 1's Delifrance for breakfast with Benny, Kelvin and QQ when we suddenly talked about rainbows, and I randomly asked them if they thought anyone would dislike rainbows and whether boys like them as much as girls...

The topic led to Qingqing saying that she would really love to see an "aurora", and I was like, "What is that?" because in my media-filled brains "aurora" is Sleeping Beauty's real (fictional) name.

And Kelvin replied that auroras are dancing greenish lights in the sky!!!

So today, I finally checked on wikipedia (you have to click it!), and they are sooooooo lovely!!!!!!!!!


Glittery dancing lights!


Taken from a travel site recommending Alaskan tours:

So, what is so special about the northern lights that people go out of their way to plan specific aurora borealis vacations?

Imagine this. You look up and see the undulating, multi-colored ribbons of light dance across the sky. They display visual patterns far more intricate than the most talented artist could create. People take aurora borealis vacations to witness these miracles of nature.



Don't they sound so spectacular?!

I can't believe I am so sua ku and never heard of them till now!!!

Makes me feel like taking a tour to Alaska... Except that Mike's dad said something about the whole place being ridiculously cold, grey and completely SWAMPED with mosquitoes... And those mosquitoes are huge!!!


"Oh wow, Hello there... Please don't bite me?"

Ok, maybe not that huge... But I'm just guessing, I have no idea how huge they are. Shit, you think this picture is for real?



Sometimes, looking up at the beautiful sky and occasionally sporting nature's spectacular creations like rainbows, auroras, meteor showers, whirlpools or even storms... or like looking like fields of flowers and ponies prancing freely and squirrels on huge trees, it makes me feel like becoming an environmentalist!!!

I want to preserve all these and make the world a beautiful, beautiful place!

And then the next moment I feel like I am too hot and I need aircon + a cold drink from the fridge... and I want to eat foie gras, have an urge to litter into the ocean (joking), etc, and I go like, Nah... forget it... and go ahead and lead my superficial life.

Nature is so pretty but it is also so disgusting!

Why must there be insects??????!

I know I know, part of the food chain etc, but it's like She (Mother Nature if she exists) has three bands of people designing stuff, and one of them is like this young punk kid trying to be different by designing ugly stuff (insects + visceral) and the other group neutral (animals) and the other group designing chio things (rainbows, baby mammals).

Why doesn't she just fire the ugly designer?!

I know, I am almost too bimbotic to function.

This post has absolutely no point except to tell you guys that I like auroras!!!

=)


**************************


p/s: I have about 300 photos to post up and I am procrastinating still. (Thanks to whoever helped me with Picasa's English switch! You are a life-saver!

My latest obsession? I am currently hooked on Phoenix Wright on my nintendo DS (the psp lies untouched) and have influenced at least 3 people (real life people hor, not counting those online yet) to buy the DS too!

It is so fucking fun can!!


Nintendo DS lite = Way better than PSP! Not to mention it is prettier. =)



Oh handsome! And authoritative!

Phoenix (above) is this really cute rookie lawyer, and you are supposed to help him solve crimes by searching for clues and finding disparities in witness testimonies!

I love the way he bangs on his table and points like that (above) at the lying witness, shouting "Objection!" pointing out their contradictions!! It also makes me want to tickle his armpit and feel if there is a muscle hole there... Hehe... Armpit holes are so sexy!

It is so fun can. So far I made about 2 innocent people go to jail 4 times, but I'm working hard on being a good lawyer.

So is Wong! She is working as an intern now at some bigass law firm, and she turned into an OL!

She said something about buying A-line skirts the other day, and I lost all respect for her.


Oh and yes. I am actually stuck in pokemon. I mean like stuck stuck. I can't move to the next region because they are all blocked (by psyducks no less). And it's too FUCKING irritating to move around trying to see what I missed out on earlier, and having to keep fighting the same damn pokemon! I hate that Zubat and Geodude can!



************************



p/p/s!!!

I am never ending this blog entry!!

I was being asked to be the "jie mei" (sisters/gal pals) for my cousin's wedding, and it made me think of something!!!


Who are going to my jie mei for MY future wedding?

How many jie meis are we allowed to have anyway?

I counted potential ones leh...


Not in order of consideration:

1) Shuyin (I let you be bridesmaid la you look like you will do a good job of holding my train, hehe)

2) Wanyi

3) Eekean (I AM SO GONNA MAKE YOU WEAR A FRILLY PINK DRESS)

4) Peiying (will hide the boys' shoes while they get sabotaged)

5) Xiao Feng

6) Qing qing

7) Qihua

8) Eileen

9) Sandra (definitely can negotiate for more angpow money)

10) Cousin Cally

11) Cousin Jocelyn

12) Cousin Michelle

13) Junne

14) Gillian

15) Rozz

16) Huifen



.............


0_O

I got 16 jie meis leh!

And like I think most of them will be offended if I don't ask them lor!

("Wah lau I 10 years friends with you you don't ask me to be jie mei, you good" etc etc)

HOW LIKE THAT?!

How the hell do people make such tough decisions?!

Maybe I hold a meeting with them and make them o-ah-peh-ah-som?

(I can imagine Huifen elbowing people and demanding to win, hahaha...)

Or maybe some of them don't want to be my jie mei? :( (That would make me super sad!)


LIKE THAT DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED ALREADY LA!

So troublesome one!

Kidding. Kidding, all potential wedding partners!

I am honestly troubled by this man. How many jie meis did you have, if you are married and female?

Maybe I'd make it special and have all 16 (or less depending on whether they are willing or still alive by the time I get picked off the shelf).

BTW, you all have to wear pink. Duh.



***************************


p/p/p/s!

I pity those horrible girls with no girlfriends hor?

Like you know, the sort of girls who are very whiny and only pay attention to guys one? Those that other girls cannot respect?

Then their wedding how, no jie meis? Or I guess, maybe just their relatives or something.

Hate those types of girls!




Last postnote: I am very disappointed with the admin people of wikipedia! I DEFINITELY deserve my wiki page back (far less worthy people have their pages), and I can't believe someone chose to delete it instead of requesting for my stub of an article to be expanded. If it is not biasedness I don't know what it is.
