(useless) information
ASF
A 26yr old female whose brain is powered by caffeine; without its main fuel source it has a working speed slower than that of a slug. That aside, she wishes she could grow a teeny weeny bit (read: a lot) taller and constantly whines about her weight. Enjoys devising novel ways to traumatise people with her bludders. Oh, and she is rather antisocial.

There are 5 houses in a row in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of different nationality. Each person drinks a certain beverage, smokes a certain brand of cigarette, and keeps a certain pet. None of them have the same preferred beverage, cigarette or pet.
Clues:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person smoking Pall Mall keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner of the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The Blends smoker lives next to the cat owner.
11. The Dunhill smoker has a neighbour who keeps horses.
12. The person who smokes Bluemasters also drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The Blends smoker has a neighbour who drinks water.
So, the riddle is - who owns the fish?
Einstein said that 98% of the world's population won't be able to solve this. I'm not sure if it's true, though.

1.I get depressed on Sundays.
2.I get even more depressed on Mondays.
3.My nose gets itchy from the moment I step into my office.
4.I suddenly have an unhealthy fascination with round things, or anything that has a circular shape in it. And no, this doesn't include Aihuat's tummy, or my face.
5.I make stupid mistakes in work because I don't pay much attention.
6.My sinus problem disappears the moment I step out of my office.
7.I'm 25, but I feel so weary that sometimes I think I'm 52.
8.I have unhealthy fantasies of striking the TOTO and quitting my job to be a full-time tai-tai.
I think I should go on leave soon. Sian.

I used to be a much happier person. But looking back through my blog archives, I realised that more than half of my crap are actually unhappy rants. Rants on finding employment,job, paying bills... on life in general. At the rate I'm going, I'll need to see a psychiatrist. Seriously sad.
So now, I've made a resolution - I shall not bow down to life, no matter how tough it is. I'll do whatever I can to improve my life. And I mean RIGHT NOW.
I've got it all planned. And a damn good plan it is...
...I'll start pia-ing 4D and TOTO.
Imagine, if I win the jackpot, I'll have lotsa money. And when I have lotsa money, I'll be able to settle my monetary woes. End result? I won't gripe so much about life anymore. Woah, it's such a great plan. Sibeh steady.
Wish me luck :D

I've finally completed it, but it's so damn long and boring, I really pity whoever's reading it. So read at your peril.
Here goes...

2. Puisan
3. Aihuat

How did you meet #14 (Boss)?
I first saw him 2 years ago, when I was supposed to register for my uni course and choose my majors. He was unshaven, wearing a wornout shirt and bermudas, and shaking his legs (just like Aihuat). Definitely not like the typical lecturers you'd see in Singapore. He's damn cool lor.
What would you do if you didn't meet #1 (Irene)?
I'd most probably be a very prim and proper girl who never talks crap. But then, I'd end up being damn boring... and bored.
What if #9 (Aina) and #20 (Huiqing) dated?
I'll spend my entire month's pocket money buying 4D, betting on the date they got together.
Would #6 (Jason) and #17 (Rhys) make a good couple?
I think they'd make a cute couple, just like the two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain.
Describe #3 (Aihuat).
He's, err, overnourished and in dire need of exercise; too lazy to shave; likes to wear wornout shirts and bermudas wherever he goes; always shakes his legs; farts and belches (in my face) a lot... but I love him all the same :D
Is #8 (Adelene) attractive?
She's a nice girl, but I already have Aihuat, you see.
Describe #7 (Norman).
Tall. Nice. Looks cute. Err, that's about it. I guess.
Do you know any of #12 (Joanne) family members?
No leh.
What would you do if #18 (Sam) confess to you that he likes you?
I'd recommend him to see an optometrist. Straight away. Oh, and I'd buy 4D also haha.
What language does #15 (Simon S) speak?
English with an Aussie accent. Duh.
Who is #9 (Aina) going out with?
WTH I want to know who's her boyfriend, too. Can anyone tell me?
How old is #16 (Little Simon)?
24.
When is the last time you spoke to #13 (Sara)?
Around 3 months ago.
Who is #2's (Puisan) favourite band/singer?
Errr, I'm not sure who's her current fave. Jay Chou? Westlife?
Would you ever date #4 (Teddy)?
Hell, no, Irene would kill me!
Would you ever date #7 (Norman)?
No. I doubt he'd want to date me, either.
Is #15 (Simon S) single?
No.
What's #10's (Jiarong) last name?
Ong.
Would you ever be in a relationship with #11 (Yit Wee)?
No way, his wife'll kill me!
School of #3 (Aihuat)?
TP.
Where does #6 (Kenny) live?
Err... somewhere in Yio Chu Kang?
What's your fave thing about #5 (Jason)?
He's crappier than Aihuat, me and all my bludders combined. Seriously.
Have you seen #1 (Irene) naked before?
WTH. No lah.
5 people to do this :
Anyone who wants to and has enough time on his/her hands, I guess.

A big problem.
A huge, massive, colossal problem so serious it's making me lose whatever little motivation I have to revise for my intenal audit...
I think I've put on weight.
Or else, I'm suffering from a serious bout of water retention.
I'm praying fervently that it's the latter.
My clothes seem to be
All these must be due to the rich lunches I've been having plus last night's wedding dinner, combined with the utter lack of exercise (unless shopping is counted).
I guess that's why I'm so sian now. I'm reading blogs, watching TV, listening to Tanya Chua's CD... doing everything except what I'm supposed to do - that is, revising for my lab's internal audit. And I'm scheduled to be
I'm so screwed. And sad. I'm so short already, I can't afford to be fat as well! *wails*

In that post, I had complained about the poor job prospects in the Life Sciences industry. I'm not afraid to admit I wrote that, because it IS a fact that graduands with higher degrees are preferred to those holding basic degrees especially if they're looking for a research-based job.
So now, I'm pissed, to the extreme, because:
1. He used blog posts, including mine, without permission.
2. He seems to think that a basic degree in Science is enough for him to get a well-paid job.
3. He doesn't seem to understand that a basic degree in Science is NOT enough for employment in the Science field, especially for research jobs.
4. He seems to think that it's the universities' responsibility to help him get a job.
5. He made it seem like everyone in Science faculties in universities all over the world are evil schemers whose only aim in their lives are to con innocent, unsuspecting kids into Life Sciences and ruin their lives. Look, the universities do not FORCE people to get into courses, WE made the choices ourselves. Don't shift the blame to the unis if you entered into a course which you don't like or regret choosing.
.

.
Enough of ranting.
Anyway, he ended off his email with 'I will be doing a lot of stuff to stay alive, probably in other areas, other than life sciences'.
Yes, Edmund, please do. I'm happy for you that you think that way. May I suggest you start off with not sitting in front of your computer for hours on end, skimming through the internet for 'reference blogposts' to back your arguments up. Go outside, watch a movie, or just take a walk and get some fresh air.
And please, ask for permission if you want to use other people's posts for your 'arguments' next time. We're already ranked very low in terms of politeness, don't drag it down further.
Grr.

Err just realised Bunny has summed the entire thing up really well. Much better than me.

...and follow the instructions.
I saw this picture a couple of months back on Irene's blog, and I must say, I was pretty impressed with whoever had thought of this method. I mean, it has captured the essence of a straightforward, yet effective, antistress kit - what can be more effective than banging your head on your desk (or other hard surfaces) until you're unconscious?
'Nuff said.
Maybe I should print it out tomorrow - I have this nagging feeling that the day when I'll need to use this kit is fast approaching :/

I hate being short.
From young, I've constantly been teased for being short. A lot of people with a height of more than 165cm will pretend not to see me when I'm right in front of them, and then say something along the lines of 'oh I'm sorry, but I can't see you because you're sooooo short' and end off with evil laughter. Fine, I can take the teasings, but not when it's done for the 432097th time. I mean, come on, get a life and move on to other less corny jokes lah. Bloody hell.
Some gals would say to me with utmost sincerity that they've always felt damn short until they see me - and then thank me for making them feel taller.
Once, a younger cousin of mine whom I rarely see asked me with glee why I never seemed to grow taller.
Tall guys bend down to talk to me. Always.
Tall gals always comment that it's hard to talk to me because I'm too short.
Some tall gals like to put their arms on my shoulder and say that I've got the perfect height to be their arm support.
My mother keeps telling me that I should try to grow taller. Even though I'm already waaaaaay past my puberty.
I've been asked once if I've ever gone through puberty before.
Looking back, it's nothing short of a miracle that I'm still sane and not suffering from any violent tendencies e.g. tear out the hair of anyone who teases me about my height.
I can't do anything about my height, but I really wish that people would stop teasing me about my height. It does hurt my feelings (though I don't show it...I think). And I have my pride too, you know.
I'm short, but that doesn't mean I'm inferior in any sense, ok?
