X'Mas Day!!!

I slept like a dead duck....woke up with swollen eyes not sure what happened...

J2 had to call and inform us that they will be late...so I finally woke and got ready to go over to C1 & C2's place...we are suppose to go there for a X'mas celebration! LOL...

C1 & C2 gave me very nice shawl and also

I got Da an extra gift which is the "Wooly Bully" a board game...thought it looks cute so bought for him to have fun if ever we have friends come over...

J1 & J2 gave me a card for X'mas, Da helped me to read out loud...

"We wanted to give you cash for the 'Crumpler' bag but we figured, maybe cash is not the best gift. Then we thought if the perfect girt but J1 was so exhausted and we were kind of late yesterday, so although we planned to get it yesterday, we thought, this is Singapore shops open on Christmas Day No problem right?..." LOL Da read and could not continue...

So J2 took over "So this morning - Christmas Day, we got ready to go...but one of us wanted to cuddle and cuddle and cuddle and cuddle and would not get out of bed. Finally got to the shop...which had a sign said: 25 Dec CLOSED" LOL....I also cannot imagine that shop is closed in Singapore in X'mas OMG...It's Singapore!!!

"So 'Pei Sei' No present. Anyway we promise you-by New Year's Eve-one black CRUMPLER laptop haversack that work like you look like NINJA TURTLE"

LOL the day before I went with J2 to shop shop and I tried a Crumpler bag that makes me look exactly like a Ninja Turtle...I looked so comical...

Yeah!! Nevertheless, I got both my wish list for X'mas!! =) More then I expected! God Bless!

Hello Kitty Gingerbread Man

X'mas Party & Shopping

We were all very excited today...its 1/2 day X'mas celebration for our office..I brought potato salad and egg salad I made night before...thanks to No 4, she helped me cut most of the stuff and I can make all the stuff on time before going to bed...

CH was so wonderful she made cup cakes and also pasta for us...the rest of the people bought apple strudel, drinks, sausages and ham etc...There were so much food on the table by the time we were ready to start our small X'mas celebration....

Before the event Hx said that it will be better for us to buy something that everyone like for the gift exchange...hence we were being asked to write down the 1st choice and 2nd choice of the items we wanted...Ah J drew me as the receiver and I drew Mr Silent&Listening....I wrote down "anything Hello Kitty for me and have to be original or else the color drop off I will cry" So end up poor Ah J had to buy another gift for me cos he thought that the Hello Kitty umbrella he bought for me is "Chiong" (meaning fake) one...poor thing...

After the office party I joined C1, C2, G1 and G2 in a shopping trip to find G1 & G2's gift...The plan in the first place is to pamper the G1 & G2 and get them something they like...So I gave them a budget to play with for getting the gift that they want...Interestingly we managed to find a gift for G2 @ Toys 'R' Us in vivo city...G2 is actively calculating the amount he can spend...and finally he found the nerf gun that he wanted...sadly we were not able to find the G1 a gift so all of us decided to go to suntec to continue the quest of gift searching...(all of us thought that the Toys 'R' Us there will be bigger)

To our dismay...we found what G1 wanted in Suntec...and G2's nerf gun was out of stock in Suntec.....Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! OMG....so end up both G1 and G2 bought their toys from the "Simply Toys" shop next to "The Rock"....lucky me...what amaze me is the way G2 calculate his way to the gift that he wants...G1 chose a X-Wing Lego but it was way off the budget....I had to hint G1 to negotiate with his dad to help chip in with the present before he went to his dad to ask if he can help to pay for the X-Wing...

After talking to the shop owner I realized we can get some discount out of the items we bought so I told the boys they have more budget....after leaving the shop C1 asked how much he had to pass me and I realized its very difficult to calculate the total amount and I decided that I will pay for all the present bought so far....LOL being lazy....so much for budgeting....anyway I was just hoping that the kids will have some fun out shopping....

What a tiring day...my favourite slippers gave way and I had to buy a new one at Suntec...then C2 drove me home since I promised my dad that I am going to cook for him and the family for X'mas eve...So I prepared pasta, potato salad, sausages and ham for everyone...poor daddy end up eating rice in the middle of the night...LOL...

Hello Kitty X'mas Display

Makes a very good X'mas decorator

Rude Drivers

I did the most terrible thing yesterday....

I brought Dad, his wife and the little one out to tampines for dinner and there were lots of people and of cos cars there.

First time I got Dad to drive there...he drive into this particular small parking lot next to the POSB bank and I was wondering how he know there is such a place to park.

We waited for quit a while and to our "joy" there is this lady who's on her way out...we have a parking lot! yeah!! That was fast...to let her move off we gotta move forward and a rude van driver behind us just drove straight in when the lady drove out...My Dad actually wind down his window and scolded him...I got angry and got off the car and scolded him too....

Wa he is so damn rude lor...as he was placing his parking coupon onto the front part of the dashboard, he was making a hand sign to me..."Call the police lor" I can see him mouthing that and can kinda hear him in the rowdy environment...."Other people also waiting what", he said it as a matter of factly...I know there are a lot of people waiting to get parking lot...but we came frist so by right he should at least just have the cour

Actually I think I said something like he is being rude and such can't really recall what I said but I added the most significant sentence "This is how you teach your SON!!" I pointed to the kid next to him and then get on my dad's car...

So angry...frustrated...How can anyone just go out with their kids and do such thing in front of their kids?

Wedding the actual Day - Final Sabotage by the Sisters

Hee...this is the day that we have been working towards....I have only slept for less then 2 hours...@ 4.30am I just finished my cake pops that I have prepared....but I felt very energetic! LOL a full day ahead...

I arrived after HM and she is already there for sometime helping Jen's mum on the preparation to welcome the groom...I was so excited and brought all my stuff into the hall and asked Jen's mum for 3 glasses to display the cake pops that's created.

I brought my favourite mickey mouse hair band for the groom to use when he and his friends are being sabotaged.

Jen's mum's best she also joined in to help prepare something for the groom and his friends. She made the most tasty Mee Sua...its so hot I really cannot imagine it looks so white...no body will suspect that it is actually spicy hot! She also helped to prepare some "drinks" for the boys all filled to the rim in the milk bottle...

Jen's mum finally and quietly opened the door for the groom...HM has given the key to Jen's mum before the groom arrive....it is more meaningful...she say to only open when she is satisfied with the boy's performance. hee....

With Jen's brother's help (he actually last min downloaded and burnt for us, amazing right? sabotage to the full with professional help!), we managed to get a CD to play on the TV in the living room.



The Groom and gang were so amazing, they did a one full round of the advertisement for Ribena and lemon...

We have a tree, 2 birds (who played the couple as well), the lemon and then of cos our groom as the ribena...Best actor goes to the lemon, he even have slow motion when meeting ribena...can't wait to post this out when the bride and groom give the video to me...LOL

So after the whole commercial act, Jen's mum is so happy with their performance, she opened the door and "let" the bride out...100% satisfaction...

After which we went over to the groom's house....I had the most stunning realization, I found out that the groom is actually my cousin...OMG after I have sabotage him so much ha ha (when I should be helping the groom's side LOL...) he is actually the grandson of my 3rd grand aunty....LOL....what a small world...no wonder I found his dad very familiar... >.< So I am actually related to Jen =) Not bad huh?

Groom's friend is very gentleman, "Tree" as what I remember him as...was supposed to go back to China Town but drove me all the way home...I dun even remember which way is my house and he got the sense of direction to drive me to my street....sigh...first of all very glad and also embarrassed that I dunno my way home....

At night...I was supposed to be the "gateway" to the wedding dinner (receptionist la, I was suppose to like make sure to inform the brothers how many % already arrive)...So grand and cool....wedding dinner was held onboard a ship..."Stewards Riverboat" @ marina coastal drive...Couple's entry was superb, they entered with the sword barrier and of cos the bride wearing her uniform as well....real darn cool lor...I had to abandon my position to have a better view of the grand entry, grabbing the "Ang Bao" box...or rather lugging it with me just to make sure the gifts from the couple's friends and loved ones were not being stolen (everyone was so excited about their entry they basically disappeared from the receptionist table! LOL)

Food was great! The admostphere was so good...I was blessed enough to have one of the "brother's" girlfriend, namely the "Lemon" sitting next to me...cos she had the tendency to have seasickness, she brought along her pills and I took 1 from her...GOD Blessed!! In the middle of the meal some of the people started to have seasickness and left...come to think of it I am so Blessed this time...Cos of "Lemon's" girlfriend I could enjoy the whole wedding without feeling any problem =) Yeah!!!

2 things I am always amazed about people, 1 no seasickness, 2 being able to drink and not get drank...You know la...Chinese wedding traditionally the groom will get asked to drink lots and lots of wine, beer anything alcoholic you can think of you can see them in the wedding...I can help in weddings and do things...but when it comes to helping the groom on drinking...Sigh...I can only sit back and "see see look look" nothing can be done....Poor groom was being asked to drink...Its his bday as well...so I see all his friends and relative giving him the "toast of blessings"...Actually not as bad as I have expected...since he's someone that does not drink too often, the guest were quite gentle with him...

Cake pops - The final Sabotage by Sisters

Since Jen told me that she is tired and needs to go back home to rest...she is having headache, guess she is too tired, hence the task to make the food for sabotage lies on my shoulder =) LOL....how come I sound like the little devil ha ha ha....

I reached home like around 10 plus....things I bought a sponge cake on the way back and some limes (too bad for the groom, I bought some huge ones since NTUC does not have the medium ones that Ann lent me last time I tried)

Things I set on the table to start making the cake pops to sabotage the groom:

1.) Sponge cake
2.) White chocolate and dark chocolate melt (things to note about these chocolate melt is that you will need to double boil them in small fire, dun be silly like me I want it fast so I use very big fire and made things worst...also you must be careful you dun accidently spill water into the melt, that will make the melt harden and you will not be able to make your cake pop nicely)
3.) Pepper (round ones, proudly sponsered by Ann given to her by a from who flew it from sarawak)
4.) Wasabi power, proudly sponsered by Mr Lim, flown from Japan
5.) Nescafe non sweet coffee (sponsered by Don, ha ha he just bought them yesday) and coarse coffee power (sponsored by Ann)
6.) sugarings with shapes (hearts and small rounded balls, I bought them from Phun Huat, very beautiful)
7.) Paper lolipop sticks (I bought from Phun Huat)

Balls of cakes:
Step 1: I smashed the sponge cake into small little pieces in a big container
Step 2: I rolled them into small balls (if the cake you use is too oily, you may need to add cream to make it stick together)

Hot/Spicy:
Step 1: Take a ball of wasabi and wrap it in the ball of cake (according to the groom's bro it is not that hot actually, So I will suggest you buy the tubes ones from Super market and make this particular one on the day itself)
Step 2: Dip the tip of the paper lolipop stick into white chocolate and then stuff it into the rounded cake that you have rolled so far. (squeese the cake together and make sure that it will not drop off the stick.)
Step 3: Slowly scoop a spoonful of white chocolate and pour it over the cake pops you have made so far. (make sure you don't pour too much...if you have the time, it is a good idea to place the prepared cake in stick into the fridge and wait till it is a little colder then you drip hot chocolate over it, this way the chocolate will harden faster)
Step 4. Make sure the excess chocolate is being removed and slowly sprinkle some smashed pepper over the white chocolate.
Step 5. Leave the cake pop to harden

Sweet - The easiest to make of all the cake pops
Step 1: Wrap the harden chocolate mixed with sugar into cake and roll them into ball
Repeat step 2-3 as above.
Step 2: Make sure the excess chocolate is being removed and slowly sprinkle sugaring onto the chocolate (make sure you don't be too greedy, first time I tried I place so much that the whole cake drop off from the stick)
Step 3: Leave the cake pop to harden
Note: For the sweet ones, you can add a few lumps of sugar inside.

Bitter:
Step 1: Roll lots of coffee powder into the cake and roll the cake into ball, place cake into paper
Step 2: Slowly scoop a spoonful of white chocolate and pour it over the cake pops you have made so far. Don't pour too much.
Step 3: Sprinkle some coffee powder onto the cake to make it look "classy"
Step 4: Leave it to harden

Sour: Easiest to make also the worst to taste LOL...
Step 1: Peel the skin off the lime you bought
Note: Make sure you place them into the fridge after peeling off the skin
Step 2: Slowly pour the chocolate you have double boiled onto the lime =) yeah happiness!

If you need any help with making this do send me an email or place a comment I will get back to you regarding it LOL =) I can join in your fun too!!! LOL...

Hello Kitty MP3 Player (2 GB)

OMG!! I bought this Cute Hello Kitty MP3 Player which is 2GB today =)

Can't wait to go home and take picture of it...so I went on-line and found some pictures of it....Ah!!!!!!! Real cute....Totally love it....its a little smaller then the picture shown but looks exactly the same!!! There's a pink, blue and red version...just that the ribbon has different color...Mines pink =)







As shown in the above, the "on/play/pause" button is the center of the ribbon, the left part of the ribbon is the "+volume/previous" button and the right ribbon is the "-volume/next" button, you just have to press and hold the center button to on/off your MP3 player....cool gadget

What I find more amazing is the power cord, its a USB power cord and you can use the same cord to copy data into the MP3 player =) and also its the data cable for your ear phone!!! You just have to plug it straight into your computer and it can be recognised immediately....

Are you Einstein?

One of my friends sent me this and asked me to figure it out....

Einstein (no one know his real IQ) give us a puzzle like this, for he stressed examining assumptions, and once wrote: "The important thing is to not stop questioning."

1. Facts: There are 5 houses in 5 different colours
2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality..
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

1. Hints: The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

The question for the Einstein test is ... WHO KEEPS THE FISH?


OMG took me a long time to try and error and find the correct answer, actually very simple, you can just write everything together and do a jig saw puzzle out of the whole thing...

Anyway these are the things for sure:
Country:
1.) English
2.) Swedish
3.) Danish
4.) German
5.) Norwegian

Drink:
1.) Water
2.) Coffee
3.) Milk
4.) Tea
5.) Beer

Smoke:
1.) Pall Mall
2.) Dunhill
3.) Blue Master
4.) Prince
5.) Blend

I keep missing out "Pall Mall" OMG...

Drink:
1.) Water
2.) Coffee
3.) Milk
4.) Tea
5.) Beer



Did you get it right? Actually thats not really the correct answer technically...

You can also get the correct answer from http://www.iqtest-center.com/einstein-test.php

Explaination from http://www.brain-fun.com/Brain-Teasers/EinsteinsRiddleAns.php


HOUSES: The Norwegian lives in the leftmost house, next to blue house. The owner of the center house drinks milk, therefore, is not a green house (whose owner drinks coffee). The green house is #4 since it is to the left of the white house and there is no other place for a pair of houses to fit. Therefore, the center house must be red and, therefore, the Brit's house. The Norwegian's house is, therefore, yellow. The Dane drinks tea and doesn't live in the coffee-drinking green house. The Swede keeps dogs so he is not the person who owns horses and lives in the blue house.

DRINKS: The man in the center house, the Brit, drinks milk. The green house's owner drinks coffee. The Dane drinks tea so the Dane does not live in the green house. The one who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer. And since the German smokes Prince we know that the German does not drink beer. The Brit drinks milk and so does not smoke Bluemasters. Since the Norwegian smokes Dunhills, he can't do the Bluemasters/Beer duo. And the Dane drinks tea, so the Swede must drink the beer.

SMOKES: The owner of the yellow house, the Norwegian, smokes Dunhill. The German smokes Prince. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water, and the green house #4 drinks coffee. Therefore, the person in the white house #5 doesn't smoke Blends. The Dane does not smoke Bluemasters since he drinks tea and not beer. The Brit does not smoke Bluemasters since he drinks milk. The Norwegian doesn't smoke Bluemasters since he smokes Dunhills. And the German smokes Prince, not Bluemasters. So that means the Swede must smoke Bluemasters. Therefore, the Swede also drinks beer.

PETS: The man who keeps a horse lives next door to the Dunhill smoker, the Norwegian, so the owner of the blue house owns a horse. Since the Norwegian smokes Dunhills, they do not have birds. The Swede keeps dogs, so he is not the man who owns horses and lives in the blue house. Whomever smokes the Bluemasters doesn't own birds.

When we find out the Swede smokes the Bluemasters and drinks beer, and also know he keeps dogs, we know everything about him except which house he lives in. He doesn't live in the red house because he drinks beer not milk. He doesn't live in the green house because he drinks beer not coffee. He is not in the yellow house smoking Dunhills and since he doesn't own a horse, he isn't in the blue house. Therefore, the Swede is in the white house.

The blue house and the green house are still unclaimed. The Dane must be in the Blue house drinking tea, because he doesn't drink coffee, therefore, can't be in the green house. We already know that the Brit is in the red house and the Norwegian is in the yellow house. So finally, we can put the German into the green house.

So now we have the German smoking Princes and drinking coffee in the green house. The Swede is in the white house smoking Bluemasters and drinking beer with his dogs. The Norwegian is in the yellow house smoking Dunhills. The Dane is in the blue house drinking tea and owning a horse. Since he has a horse, he can't have birds and, therefore, doesn't smoke Pall Malls, but rather Blends. The Brit is in the red house drinking milk.

Since the Dane in the blue house smokes Blends, his neighbor must drink water. The house next door, the Brit, already drinks milk, so the Norwegian on the other side must be the one who drinks water. We know what everyone smokes except the Brit, who by default smokes Pall Malls, and then also owns birds. Since he owns the birds, the neighbor of the Blends smoker who owns cats is the Norwegian, leaving only one solution: The German owns the fish.


Did you get the answer?


Anyway answer I posted above is not the correct answer...That's why Einstein said at the very beginning of the test "The important thing is to never stop questioning." He wanted you to ask, "Who says the German guy has to have fish as a pet?" This is the real answer to this question.

Zouk Out 2009

Da and I went for Zouk Out on the 2nd year they had Zouk Out when Nicky, my korean friend was here. It was so simple with just tables and tables of stalls that sells drinks and stuff...just like the "Pasar Malam" we have out side...interestingly there were lots of stages far apart...I think a little too far apart from each stage...but it reminds me a "song fest" which is a Christian song festival where people all over the world gathers together and music played were all christian rock music.

WOW the Zouk Out now is so grand!! There were like "booths" and special lounge area for special guests and for different sponsors etc...First of all it is highly sponsored, imagine its called "SINGTEL PRESENTS ZOUKOUT 2009"...Singtel users can go to one of the special place that allows free flow of drinks...all you have to do is to show your handphone and you will be able to go in there...too bad both Da and I are using starhub...all the "booths" look so grand and nicely decorated...there were lines and lines of washroom everywhere in between the different stages and also at the exit of the place...amazingly the make shift washrooms are really clean...

As described in the official website for Zouk Out 2009:

With a record breaking 26,000 party revellers in 2008, ZoukOut 2009 extends its venue to incorporate Siloso Beach’s latest lifestyle attraction, Wave House Sentosa, and will house one of ZoukOut’s stages! Offering exhilarating rides akin to the Wave Houses found in North America, Chile and South Africa, thrill seekers can look to make a wild splash and get their adrenaline fix whether surfing the tube, jumping waves or performing gravity defying flips and stunts.


The one place I like most about the Zouk Out this year is the Nokia "booth"...They were giving out my favorite pop corn and sweets!! OMG I took lots of it =) giving me sugar rush after that...it helps cos I was at sentosa from 730pm onwards....

At first I thought we are gonna spend lots of money buying drinks...but all we spent on was on food...cos we got $32 worth of free drinks...how did we do that? First thing we arrive at the place there were not too many people...so we went to the Singtel "booth" and next to it was something like a lucky draw dip...all you have to do is to look for a light stick with a "star" on it hhhhmmmmm....I wonder why they wanna use "star" should have used something else....any way that's not important...important thing is to dig as fast as you can and find the stick!!! So Da and I each tried once and we were blessed enough both of us got a $8 drink voucher each...

Later when we went to the Nokia "booth" and registered for a nokia account and got ourselves 2 more of such vouchers =) hee...well done!!

As you walk around there will be people that will be giving out freebies...like we got some nice "light rings" from Heineken...its like a mini torch light that you can use as a ring on your fingers and very stylo when you dance with them...they come in white, red, green and also blue....very nice....you can get whistle etc...

Since I know that the place will be so noisy I went and bought a ear plug that helps to reduce the noise....a bit crazy since people go there just to enjoy the loud music...

After walking around the place and staying at different stages for sometime we were tired and hence we went to the side of the main stage to rest...after a short rest we went back to the main stage and started dancing...OMG we walked into a group of guys and lesbians...wrong place to be cos the guys were hugging the guys and girls hugging the girls...the guys keeps dancing and so we went to the "Surf’s Up! Wave House Sentosa" side to have a look...I gotta say the toilet there is the best...Can't wait to go there next time and see how it looks like...I guess I have to go to Sentosa next week =)

We started heading back to the main stage and settled down at a comfortable position...then a very nice looking "ang mo" approached me and asked if I am enjoying myself...I couldn't hear him of cos LOL...ear plugs remember???!!! Then I quickly took off the ear plugs and then asked him what he said again...He asked if I understand english...of cos I do...I was just too stunned he approached me...I said yes....and he mumbled (basically he shouted but I can only hear mumble) something I dun quit catch...I keep looking at Da for help cos I dun understand what he said...sigh....being desperate since I can't hear...I said "No"...cos I thought he asking me about something I don't know...LOL....

Later then I realised that the guy was just trying to make friend with me....Da said the guy said "you look pretty"....OMG I said "No" to the guy when he say I am pretty!!! OMG....I think he must be drank or something...he damn nice looking leh...

I found the 2nd last DJ the best, his name is Armin Ban Buuren (graduate in law 2004, Oxford) in fact he was really good!!! All the other DJs are just fine....below is his official music video:



People crowded all to the main stage at the time he was supposed to come on stage...He was there till sun raise and people just don't feel like going off when he stopped!! Most were screaming "Again!!"

Really don't mind going back to Zouk Out again...hopefully next time I will be nice to people who approached me....ha ha...that was such an embarrassing thing to do....should have at least given people my number right?? LOL....Just kidding...

Handphone - Our Everyday Necessity

"Eh...Did you see my handphone?" CH asked as she glided into the cab. She realised that her handphone is missing.

No matter where you live or what you do, in all likelihood you will eventually find yourself participating in that most familiar and exasperating of modern rituals: unwillingly listening to someone else’s cell phone conversation. Like the switchboard operators of times past, we are now all privy to calls being put through, to the details of loved ones contacted, appointments made, arguments aired, and gossip exchanged.

Today, more people have cell phones than fixed telephone lines. There are more than one billion cell phone users worldwide.

Wireless phones have become such an important part of our everyday lives I bet if given a "quick poll": "If you were stranded on a desert island and could have one thing with you, what would it be?" I bet there will be someone that will ask for a handphone....LOL...

I am very sure handphone will be one of the choice.

What's that? In Japan, phone has answer - Technology - International Herald Tribune

If you stand on a street corner in Tokyo today, you can point a specialized cellphone at a hotel, a restaurant or a historical monument, and with the press of a button the phone will display information from the Internet describing the object you are looking at.

The new service is made possible by the efforts of three Japanese companies and GeoVector, a small American technology firm, and it represents a missing link between cyberspace and the physical world.

The phones combine satellite-based navigation, precise to within no more than 9 meters, or 30 feet, with an electronic compass to provide a new dimension of orientation. Connect the device to the Internet and it is possible to overlay the point-and-click simplicity of a computer screen on top of the real world.

14 Reasons rich and famous men cheat on their wives

When men have affairs, they tend to be motivated by sex — new sex, more sex, different sex. Women cheat for many reasons: companionship, romance, more security, and, of course, sex. But are men’s motivations really that simple? No. Even for men, cheating is far more complex.

Studies show most men who cheat want to experiment sexually and experience the rush associated with “new sex.” This is their way of prolonging indefinitely the early and intoxicating phase of infatuation in a relationship. But men also have affairs to either avoid intimacy, recover their lost youth, or escape an unhappy marriage.

Recent news on Tiger Woods cheating on his wife is just one of the example of man cheating on his wife. His wife is such a beauty. Below is an interesting reignation of the recent accident he had which a Taiwan company made some assumptions and speculation of what had actually happened on the day of the accident.




What makes me wonder so much is that there seems to be a tendancy of guys cheating on their wives no matter how pretty or gorgeous they are...So why do the rich and famous men cheat on their wives?

1.) A Sense of Entitlement

Many rich and famous men feel they can cheat and get away with it because of who they are and the status they have. They consider themselves exempt from the rules that govern everyone else.

2.) The Thrill of the Chase

Many rich and famous men get a real kick out of all the subterfuge, the lying, the scheming associated with having an extramarital affair and keeping it hidden from public view. Infidelity gives them the kind of adrenaline rush they’d get from participating in a high risk sport.

3.) Peer Pressure

Friends, associates , teammates, even family members of a rich and famous man will sometimes egg him on or encourage him to cheat on his wife. Turning down opportunities to bed beautiful women would mean losing face among his peers. Many of these aiders and abetters will even help the cheater cover his tracks

4.) Viewing Infidelity as a Status Symbol

To many rich and famous men, the ability to afford a mistress, or patronize a high-priced call girl is a status symbol - one of the trappings of success – like a mansion or an expensive car.

5.) Increased Opportunities to Cheat

Rich and famous men lead lifestyles that afford them more opportunities to cheat than the average man next door. Sports stars, entertainers, and politicians are surrounded by groupies, adoring fans, gold diggers and other women who are willing to sleep with them because of their impressed with their status or their wealth.

6.) The Excitement of Doing Something Forbidden

Just like ordinary men, some rich and famous men have a rebellious streak and have extramarital affairs solely for the excitement of doing something that’s forbidden.

7.) Ego-Embellishment Reasons

Nothing boosts a man’s ego like uninhibited sex with a beautiful woman. Having an extramarital affair can feed the already inflated ego that many rich and famous men have and make them feel powerful, sought-after and invincible.

8.) Inability to Resist Temptation or Say No

Remaining faithful can present quite a challenge to rich and famous men confronted with
women who are willing to perform any sex act imaginable brazenly offering themselves. Some of them aren’t strong enough to resist such temptation. Others may simply be unwilling, or unable to say “No”.

9.) A Sense of Superiority

Getting away with infidelity can give many rich and famous men a heightened sense of superiority, and make them feel smug and self satisfied. These men mentally congratulate themselves on their ability to outsmart the media, their wives and everyone else, and keep people in the dark about what they’re doing behind closed doors.

10.) The Belief that They Can Get Away With It

The main reason many rich and famous men cheat on their wives is that they feel confident they can pull do it without getting caught. If they thought for one minute that their affairs would be exposed, most of them would never take the chance.

11.) A Belief that Money Can Buy Them Anything

Rich and famous men are well aware that women are attracted to them because of their wealth and are confident that they can buy their way into any woman’s bed. They are equally confident that if, through some quirk of fate, they do get caught, they can buy their way out of the situation.

12.) Low Moral Values

Just like ordinary men, there are many rich and famous men who simply have no qualms about cheating on their mates. They have such low moral values that they will cheat with any woman, any time, under any circumstances, and never experience a shred of guilt.

13.) Sex Addiction

A very small percentage of rich and famous men cheat because of sex addiction –a condition which requires medical help. A larger percentage of rich and famous men are serial cheaters who claim to be sex addicts – only after they get caught.

14.) I guess most importanly: Because They Can

Or rather because they think they can since they are rich and can afford it. Many rich and famous men cheat on their wives just because they can. They don’t really need a reason to be unfaithful to their mate.

Biologists believe men cheat by the Darwinian instinct to spread their genetic seed to more mates (whereas women would one mate to get protection and support). However, since more women are cheating, this suggests that they felt societal pressure in the past to suppress their sexual desires. There also may be another reason men are more likely to stray: environment. Psychologically speaking, men who cheat are often the child of an adulterer. They are repeating behavior that they know and looking to correct that feeling that no one ever loved only them.

Are you on YouTube.com?

The other day when we met our poly groups of friends during Nick birthday they were discussing that Andrew is on youtube...hee...his infamous getting drank day where he had tried to send his gf (Alice at that time he was still chasing after her) home...he was so drunk that after sending her home, he stayed at her void deck like till 5am (which is like at least 3-4 hours later) then he was sober enough to go back....According to him during that few hours he was actually on "Auto pilot" and he could not remember what he did during that period of time..gosh...Never heard or knew that Andrew could get drank...



Then I went around searching for things and found the image above...it reminds me of the stupid commercial that was done by Ribena - "Ribena with Lemon, A Perfect Match"...darn stupid...



Anyway L3 was telling me that the VISA GO advertisement with the guy dancing reminds her of Da...I took sometime to google it and found it on youtube...



I couldn't find the one that VISA GO have the guy dancing in different countries....but I found this humorous Advert below...sure banned in Singapore one LOL....so much KNNs in the video...

Infamous Suicide Spot

WOW this is the first time I heard of this...Was talking to a friend's GF and found out that the Japan beautiful Mount Fuji is actually a very famous spot for suicide case as well....

"You know they will just go there and build a tent and die there and the cleaners will just remove the tent from the spot the next morning" she said as she showed a fork lift sign...."The Japanese are very considerate people, they don't want to cause people trouble and be messy", she said and was nodding her head vigorously just to show that she is very serious....

I agree with the fact that Japanese are very considerate people but dying in a tent at mount Fuji...OMG...The cleaner had to just clean up by picking the tents up with the body??!!!???!!! What kind of life are they having? What is the world becoming?

Read an interesting article regarding the suicides at mount fuji, The Suicide Woods of Mt. Fuji, Aokigahara

Signs emblazoned with messages such as "Please reconsider" and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" are nailed to trees throughout the forest. However, the woods have such a reputation that these minor deterrents do little to stop the determined. Local residents say they can always tell who is going into the forest for its stunning natural beauty, who is hunting after the macabre and who is planning never to return. "We've got everything here that points to us being a death spot. Perhaps we should just promote ourselves as 'Suicide City' and encourage people to come here," the exasperated mayor of Aokigahara has been quoted as saying.


However, even in these haunted woods, regular humans still have a job to do. Forestry workers rotate in and out of shifts at a station building in Aokigahara, and occasionally they will come upon unfortunate bodies in various states of decomposition, usually hanging from trees or partially eaten by animals. The bodies are brought down to the station, where a spare room is kept especially for such occasions. In this room are two beds: one for the corpse and one for someone to sleep next to it. Yup, you read that correctly. It is thought that if the corpse is left alone, the lonely and unsettled yurei will scream the whole night through, and the body will move itself into the regular sleeping quarters. In inimitable style, the workers jan-ken to see who gets to sleep with the body. And you thought your job was rough.


So don't complain when your jobs are tough...count yourself lucky you don't have to sleep with dead people in the same room... >.< forums that set up collection threads to help these families...

Could this be the reasons why some people are choosing the MRT tracks as one of the way to end their life?

I went to AsiaOne.com to search for key word MRT suicide and there are so many news on cases of people killing themselves on the MRT racks....So many cases....No wonder SMRT had to spend so much money just to build doors at the "above" ground stations...I wonder if fines were implemented, will these people still use our MRT track as their "vehicle" for the last journey of their life...

Artistic Apple

When I am younger my mum used to spend lots of time trying to get us to eat apple...so she will cut them into swan shape and place them nicely just to attract us to eat the apple...

This apple below OMG such a nicely curved art work reminds me of my mum's work =) Its so beautiful you don't even feel like eating hee...


Wedding - Ideas for sisters (Part II)

Went to Ann's place and tried out making cake pops for preparation for Jen's wedding...Or rather the items to sabo our Bride's groom =)

I arrive late at Ann's place and she has already completed the cake part...she had baked a brownie to test out the cake pops idea....Ann already baked her cake and rolled them into ball shapes...She added XXX into the brownie that was smashed and mixed them together so that it will stick together...




Below are what we did:

Sweet: Ann's made lots of cake pops with cakes and she said they are to sweet...Just normal cake pops and we made them look really pretty...very harmless looking......I find them so nice =) (so we are gonna add more sugar to the sweet ones on the actual day hee....)

Bitter: OMG, we added coffee powder, on top of the white chocolate coating....wa liao so bitter...so so sooooo....bitter....I just took a little dot of the coffee powder and taste and can know the bitterness already...



Spicy: This one is the best...Ann used the pepper balls that her friend gave her...so damn hot lor...full pepper balls....I tried one only and OMG....can you imagine I lined the whole cake pops with pepper...wa liao...





Sour: We did not use any cakes for this...In order to let this one look exactly as the same size as the cake pops, Ann chose 4 limes the same size as the cakes she had rolled....hee....I was so stunned...cos it looks exactly like the cake pops that were made....





Final product....



Smashed part of the art work as Da and I were trying to get to the restaurant as fast as possible...I managed to salvage some of the beautiful cake pops...placed them in a glass and pass it to Nick...he ate one and said nice... =) Happy!! I immediately messaged Ann and told her that...but she kept saying that it was too sweet...

Managed to give a sour one to Nick and he was so shocked to find out that his cake pop is so sour...kek kek....Very evil...naughty....I guess next time he will not wanna eat what I have to offer him...LOL...

Creative Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000

Ever feel like smashing your head into something in frustration? Hee...picture below reminds me of that...






Da bought a new head set: Creative Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000, comes with a X-Fi built in sound card....USB device....Total fatality....even though the reviews are good...The biggest problem is the installation of its drivers in Vista. What I like about it is that the headset comes complete with a removable mic. The headset also comes with a carrying case...Cool looking...
















LOL Da really do look like the "lemon head" as he was trying to install the drivers and trying to get it to work on his vista PC...installation and uninstallation takes a really long time...

He kept telling me its really a good pair of head set...after he had finally complete the installation...

Dots - Use your touch devices with gloves

Hx was talking about a special glove that her bf would like to purchase...a kind of glove that you can still use your iPhone or rather your touch screen devices...

OMG gloves...what the hell is he thinking to get gloves in Singapore where the whether is so hot??? @#$%$#%$!!! But he's a very techy guy...so he must have his reason to find something like that useful...(too cold in server room?) hhhmmmm....nevertheless its an interesting item that caught my interest and I went and Google it again...Found the Dots gloves as mentioned...

With the weather getting colder at this time of the year in some countries...this Dots gloves are extremely cool! Imagine keeping your hands warm and at the same time you can use your iPhone without removing your gloves??

Quoted from http://appadvice.com/

Winter is coming and warm gloves are a must, but savvy iPhone users know that wearing gloves makes interacting with your iPhone impossible. Yes, the sleek multi-touch screen we’ve all come to love and know only responds to human touch.

So what’s a girl (or boy) to do? Well thanks to DOTS gloves, you may no longer have to choose between accessing your iPhone or keeping warm.

The glove sports metal dots, placed on the cloth covering the fingertips, that replicates “capacitive touch” technology, mimicking the electron flow of human skin and making them touchscreen sensitive.

The discrete dots are located under the thumb, pointer, and index fingers and provide a smoothe curved surface for scratch free use.




They may look like silly gloves with rubber tips, but those rubber tips make for entering things on your phone much easier. If you only type with specific fingers you can have the dots placed on those fingers only. They are sold in either knit or ragg wool, the ragg wool is said to be a lot warmer but still soft.

They are not very expansive as well...Really cool idea...I mean warm idea....LOL....

Hello Kitty Pendant

This has become my number one wish list....

A Hello Kitty Pendant from Poh Heng (Singapore) and guess what???!!! It only cost you SGD$460. Yessss!!! Thats the price...The sales girl at the shop keeps telling me the diamond white gold one is nicer...but I still think I like the gold one...just look at the cute looking bow on its head....its pink...so sweet pink...guess what...it comes with cute matching pair of ear rings as well!! OMG!! Best part...they give you a very nice cute Hello Kitty box to store the jewllery =)



I have taken the picture from the website itself...Currently collecting Poh Heng vouchers...X'mas gift...any gifts...I am telling all my friends...if you're happy dun buy me gifts! Just get me Poh Heng vouchers....LOL...

Can't wait to collect enough to grab this limited edition Hello Kitty Pendant....

Brothers come in all shapes and sizes

"My bro took my shoes again...and guess what my dad just lend me his shoes to work"....my colleague at work said this angrily. When I turned and asked him what is wrong and told him why should he be so angry about it. "That shows that my dad dote on him more then me", He said and his face had become really red.

"Of cos I am angry, he is always doing it...when my little bro is in university, I keep losing things and wondering who took them...sigh...One day I was asked to help him bring back his stuff from his dormitory...I asked my friend, drive a lorry to help him move...guess what???!! When I moved all the things can you imagine I found most of the stuff are mine!!??"

When I talked to him further, I found out that there are some other things that his bro had done to make him so frustrated. One example would be his bro borrowed the money that he need to pay for his studies to bring the girlfriend (his bro's girlfriend) to enjoy a trip, worst part of it will be that the money was saved with great pain to pay for his own school fees...In the end instead of paying him back on time...My colleague had to get his Aunty to bail him out...

Come to think of it...I have brothers too...one can be so stubborn and so wonderful at the same time....one can be so mean (so much to complain I think I can do it for a few months) and helpful (also at the same time LOL)...one is so cute and so damn cute!!!! Still too young to comment more....

Brothers...sigh....they come in different shape and sizes...of cos the worst of this century will be the Lehman Brothers; Fall of Lehman brothers....I wonder how many lives they've ruin...and how many death caused indirectly...

Dubai In Debt? Yes its true!!

OMG!! As shocked as I am about it when Dad actually teared when he called JH who's like left Singapore to go home with his mum to attend his aunty's wedding ceremony for about a week....

Yes...Dubai is in debt!

Posted on 27 Nov 2009 (wednesday quoted should be around 25/26 Nov 2009)
On Wednesday, the Emirate of Dubai asked for a moratorium of six months on billions of dollars of debt issued by key conglomerate Dubai World, spooking investors.
I for one thing cannot imagine that...Found from Yahoo.com News:~

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Just a year after the global downturn derailed Dubai's explosive growth, the city is now so swamped in debt that it's asking for a six-month reprieve on paying its bills — causing a drop on world markets Thursday and raising questions about Dubai's reputation as a magnet for international investment.

The fallout came swiftly and was felt globally after Wednesday statement that Dubai's main development engine, Dubai World, would ask creditors for a "standstill" on paying back its $60 billion debt until at least May. The company's real estate arm, Nakheel — whose projects include the palm-shaped island in the Gulf — shoulders the bulk of money due to banks, investment houses and outside development contractors.

In total, the state-backed networks nicknamed Dubai Inc. are $80 billion in the red and the emirate needed a bailout earlier this year from its oil-rich neighbor Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Markets took the news badly — with the Dubai woes and the continued fall of the U.S. dollar giving investors twin worries. Dubai's move raised concerns about debt across the Gulf Region. Prices to insure debt from Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain all rose by double-digit percentages Thursday, according to data from CMA DataVision.


I guess lots of people are going to suffer from another round of economy crisis...

One Thumb Rules them All

I still remember Nick Vujicic who's born with only a "chicken wing" as he himself said...who does not have limps living greater then then us who what GOD has given us....hands and legs...

Recently I have a friend who posted on www.facebook.com on Mike Phillips who is born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)...does all his things using just his thumb....

"One Thumb Rules them All" it became a very catchy phase for me...

No doubt he does have great parents who brings him around as he is unable to move....bring tears to my eyes how people with such abilities...

Mike Phillips, a gamer and freelance technology writer born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), explores the frontiers of accessibility, playing games such as World of Warcraft and Unreal Tournament 2004 with just his thumb, a proximity switch, a switch interface. Mike has very little capability to move aside from his thumb which is what he relies on to navigate through virtual worlds battling with dragons and soldiers. While he has restricted speech he has no such problem while on the web as he IM’s up to four people at a time, writes games reviews, is a digital artist and is writing his first novel. The video shows Mike showcasing all this and his assistive technologies at a conference.


Mike Phillips is so fast that he can chat with so many people at the same time...can you imagine playing WOW and Unreal tournament with only a thumb??!!! He is living without obstacles...So what's so bad in our lives when we are so blessed already??? =)

AFA 2009 - Cosplay, Anime, Maids Cafe! You have it all!!

Its was such an exciting day...went to AFA 2009 and gotten myself my first WACOM, Bamboo (pen and touch tablet damn cost me like 300plus to get that will try and "encourage" Da to pay for me hee...)

So glad that I have gone there...but too bad I did not bring a long my camera, lucky for me I was with Da and he had brought his iPhone 3Gs along...so I went around suntec and took a lot of pictures...anyway conclusion you must bring along a good camera when you go for AFA!!!

First thing that we attended was the viewing of the new Inuyasha for Animax...quite interesting...always like this anime....

After which we attended the AFA 09 Day 2 – Kaname Cosplay Panel Session of Kaname, a renowned Cosplayer of Cloud Strife from “Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children” (quoted from the official website)...He's dressed up as CLOUD....WOW he really looked like he walked out from Final Fantasy VII!!!!! His hair looks exactly like the drawings...and ontop of that each strand is at the correct place...amazing!!! amazing!!! amazing!!! (and of cos made all the "Cloud" cosplayer look very ugly and no standard LOL)

Another amazing thing I learnt from his talk is that his hair "stick" to position using tons and tons of "fake eye lashes" glue...OMG how much of those must he buy just to look so great!??!!! I wish I can see him face to face and feel the texture of his hair keke...

Pictures below taken from witchyelphaba.deviantart.com and www.cosplay.com/ (apologies I have edited one of the images) OMG!!! If you are interested to see more you can visit naokoko.multiply.com there are more of his photo there!!!!





At 1pm, we relunctantly went and took lunch at Kushinbo (talks not over yet...sob sob...moving out of our wonderful position infront of the stage before the end of the talk and there were so many people crowding and standing behind just to catch a glimps of "CLOUD")...any way Kushinbo's a cool place...they are serving buffet...ate whatever I like...since it's Da's bday, J1 & J2, C1 & C2 gave him a treat (which includes my share as well!!! OMG ha ha....)



We went back to AFA 09 again...this time round I finally had a good look at the maids cafe: "Moe Moe Kyun Maid Cafe"...WoW there were so many people lining up just to go in there to have a sandwich (which I saw most of the people ordering) I heard that the maid in there serving are all Japanese girls (real ones...) Cool...No wonder people are lining up just to go in even though the charges there is so high...oh ya talking about that I've read a most interesting blog on Maids Cafe on niBBlezware.blogspot.com...

We happen to meet A. Hill (my auzzie friend), and he was very disappointed cos he thought that there will be sale of anime during the festival....but the collection of anime sold there were limited...sigh...(I agree) The anime I find in shops are so over priced...I just hope that Singapore will sell cheaper ones so that all can be able to enjoy them..

I found out the winner of the Cosplay competition is a Gundam....so many people were crowding around this one!! Trying to hard to get a good picture of it (dunno is a he/she)....can you imagine there were lights from it? its like a real robot!!! best part the winner gets a sewing machine....keke....wonder what "Gundam" will use it for since the costume used is not made of cloth...hee...




I went around and took some more pictures different cosplayers...there is this cute little rabbit girl giving out pamphlet...



A couple of girls....I like this one most cos they look very beautiful....really beautiful....just hope that the "guy" is actually a guy...cos "he" looks a bit soft/feminine in the whole picture...



I happened to pass by another grp of 2...when they suddenly pose...the guys around keep saying "swee!! wow swee!!!" (meaning very beautiful!)



This lady was surrounded with guys trying hard to get a picture of her....she was technically wearing a bra and a piece of cloth around it....very nice indeed...(Found out that niBBlezware.blogspot.com had a better picture of her even though the head wear is a little different...)




I will definately go for the next AFA =) Who will miss the grand display of free COSPLAY?? Can't wait to see Singapore improving in this aspect...

Just in split seconds...

I nearly died...or at least I thought I nearly died...A very close encounter...

I just came back from PSK's wedding and guess what I am the MC again...this time round they make me be the MC for mandarin again and I guess I kinda made a mess of it...I hope they (the newly weds) dun mind about it...it was especially cold and I dun talk well when I am cold lor...I gotta say the sisters were all so pretty!! Especially today's MC...Told La La to "grab" one and guess what...he say "You know what cars they drive?" OMG the girlfriends all came in "branded" cars....Hx and CH both agree with me when I said: "Thats even better what...you don't have a license and that's a good excuse what...you can get her to drive you around..." LOL

Anyway as I mentioned I thought I nearly died...when I came home from the wedding (Terrible drove me back and I reached really fast since the wedding is like at the airport) I was just cleaning my face from the thick layer of make up...my bro was trying to get his door when I heard "piang" and felt glass pieces flying towards my legs and feet...My goodness...I was just inches away from it...if I had stood there to watch my bro and helped him I think I am gone man...I was fine but bro got cut by the glass piece...poor thing...cut was quit big...but he insist on not going to see doctor...

The whole room was filled with broken pieces of glass...I quickly got no4. to get me a pair of slippers and continued to help bro on his wound and then to clean up the place...

I filled 2 pails (really big pails) with broken glass...lucky the glass was tempered...so it broke in small pieces and not big pieces....






GOD BLESS!!

The experience taught me one thing...glass doors are just beautiful...I was thinking to make glass door for my toilet when I move back but now I change my mind...Think I can do without glass doors...they are too dangerous...(imagine bathing half way and it broke in front of you...eh....too scary...bro told me he had friends told him that they have experience in having their glass doors in the toilet breaking...)

Wedding - Ideas for sisters

Went to meet Jen regarding her wedding in December and finally got to meet up with veron...mother of 4 mth old ger ger...but really dun look anything like an aunty...so envious...such a young mother....anyway back to topic...we were discussing about the details of the wedding.

Topics involved:

What the sisters suppose to wear...its decided that since veron has a violet color gown, we sisters (only 2 of us) will wear violet...(anyway does not matter since we are just for show...hee...)

How to sabotage the guys when they come to "fetch" the bride, Test involved:

    • Makan - Traditionally we are suppose to prepare some specialties for the groom and his brothers to enjoy, things that we have thought through, 4 rounds of stuff, 1st round: 5 sets of chocolate with sour, sweet, bitter and spicy taste, 2nd round: Over cooked soft egg plant and lady's finger and/or bitter gourd, 3rd round: Porridge & wine (according to veron a healthy breakfast), 4th and the best round, drinking of "Breast milk" ("sponsored" by veron), we are suppose to dress up the groom and the brothers with bib and also cute hair bands etc and make them drink from milk bottles
    • Acting - According to the models in the poker cards, groom and his brothers suppose to give the similar if not better pose that the model is doing. Must check who has those nice sexy poker cards, I remember I help someone bought a copy not sure if I kept one copy or not....
    • Dancing -according to the song "Nobody Nobody but you..."
We also discussed about what bride and groom will wear during the wedding banquet..which will be on a boat...they will arrive in style...in a speed boat...Jen say that she will be wearing her No 1. uniform instead of the normal wedding gown and then change to formal evening gown after the "march in", but Veron and I don't think anything much about the uniform "march in", we are more concern about Jen in her beautiful white wedding gown, Jen say she will go back and discuss wit the groom about this part...

One thing I learn our groom has a soft spot towards mushy stuff, he don't like them very much (how can someone not like mash potatoes?), our dear bride had shared lots of weakness of the groom so that we are able to know what to "sabo" him with...

LOL its like writing minutes of meeting....

First Aid - Oil burnt

After the accident of having splashed oil over my hand...There are a few things that I realise we must take note when having such accidents.

To treat oil burn there are lots of conflicting opinions, e.g some people say that you are suppose to use tooth paste place it on your skin for at least 4 hours or rubbing yourself with fish soya sauce. I never tried them, but I suspect its not a good idea...

My hand had recovered with no blisters. Guess the first aid method I used should be passible, or the oil that splashed on my skin is not as hot (mentioned by Jac) Some things that I learnt that can be done:

  1. The moment you get burnt by the oil, you should place your burnt area under running water, wait till the pain subside then move away from it. (actually I heard that its preferably 15mins - at least)
  2. Another thing that is good to use, dumping lots and lots of ice into a pail, submerge and soak your burnt area into the pail. Keep splashing the ice cold water on skin, till your skin feels numb. (It is advised that you should never use ice directly on the skin cos it will cause more harm then helping you, I asked the doctor and she confirms that).
  3. You should use mild soap to wash off the oil (as the oil will still be stuck on your skin after you splah water on it), which I should have done it before everything else sigh..
  4. What helps to relief the burning pain use aleo vera (if you have planted aleo vera, comfirmed by the doctor, its good to use aleo vera), since I don't have any the next best is the aleo jelly, which I use excessive aleo gelly on my skin. (I felt cooling sensation after just applying a thick layer of it over my burnt area, the best is to use air conditioned to blow on the burnt area)

The whole night after the burn is the worst nightmare...oh if you go straight to the doctor's most likely the doctor is going to apply silver on your skin to help cool your skin down...what it will do is that its going to cause your skin to change color (turn black?).

Sigh...my skin peeling...and feels very itchy...itchy means good...means that my skin is healing...feels like a snake now...
