Great Unknown

...........
I'm stepping out into the great unknown
I'm feeling wings though I've never flown
Got a mind of my own
I'm flesh and blood to the bone
I'm not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone ............Right to be Wrong, performed by Joss Stone

Sword or scrap metal

Miss JB-die-hard recommended this website

Friends, I need you guys to tell me whether these are bullshit. I think it kinda describe who am I. --> An assumingly self-righteous jerk.

Your life is represented by the sword of wisdom, courageous and organized and you are also a person of integrity and justice. You are also very generous and you like well-behaved and wise people. With your leadership ability, you can break through any dissatisfying situation. * AHEM *

Your characteristics, subconscious, and behavior modes, according to your fate and destiny, are represented by the sword. You are a bit bossy and dominating, but have leadership ability. * AHEM *

You are capable and talented, with a great sense of justice and righteousness, and willing to help others for the sake of justice. Like a sword, you are able to cut through a difficult or unsatisfactory situation and eventually change your fate and destiny. You may hurt yourself carelessly with a double-edged sword if you are too aggressive and pressuring people around you. You may be dominating with your appearance, but have a loving heart to protect the weak with a sense of justice and fairness. * I swore to dat. No regrets *

However, a good sword needs to be molded and sharpened, so those that cannot pass the test and process only become scrap iron. Being determined and unafraid of the challenges, not blaming others, and learning and growing are the essential elements to become a respected leader. You like intelligent people with artistic talent and dislike hypocrites. You admire those who are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to others with a sense of justice. As long as you pass the challenge and test, your entire life will be unaffected by any storm or blocked by any obstacle to become a winner. * AHEM *

◎Health Analysis: The function of your respiratory system is weaker.◎

According to your destiny analysis, the function of your respiratory system is weaker, and you have had minor problems like allergies, runny nose, cough, cold, chest pain, diarrhea and constipation when you were young. But over age 40, additional care of your respiratory system is needed, or it may lead to nasosinutisis, asthma, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis, intestines polyp and proctitis. Therefore, you should avoid fatigue and smoking, maintain a stable, regular lifestyle and schedule, and sleep and wake early in order to protect a congenitally weaker respiratory system.

There's a saying that all disease starts from the mouth, which means many human diseases are related to food. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, food can be divided into gold, wood, water, fire and earth (concept of the five elements). You seem to prefer the spicy flavors in food like spicy hotpot and Sichuan dishes, which means your cells are filled with too much gold element. This negatively affects your health, fortune and career, so we suggest you try different foods to balance your diet and nutrition, which leads to harmony in life and a balance of yin and yang based on the five elements. In addition, if you have recently felt unlucky or things were not going smoothly, then you are probably affected by bad spirit, which caused bad luck. The best solution is not to eat meat and fish for a period of time until the bad spirit goes away. The bad spirit tends to stay with those who eat meat and fish, and also chicken, duck, green onion, garlic, leek and other spices, so a vegetarian diet can help change your luck. * Trying to be a Vegetarian *

◎Health Analysis: The function of your nephridium water system is weaker as well.◎

The function of your nephridium water system is weaker as well. Your physical strength is not as good as others, and you always feel tired. You have had no major problems when you were young, but over age 40, additional care of your nephridium water system is needed, or it may lead to blood pressure, anemia and heart problems, or even insomnia, accidie, cranial nerve anemic, hearing problems, kidney problems, urocystitis, urethrits, heart and blood vessel problems. Therefore, you should avoid fatigue, maintain a stable and regular lifestyle and schedule, sleep and wake early, go outdoors and get more sunlight, and avoid deep-fried foods in order to protect a congenitally weaker nephridium water system. Also avoid iced and cold drinks and reduce the frequency of sexual activities in order to maintain good vitality.

According to your destiny analysis, you are quite straight forward with a majority of things as long as you know how to deal with them, but you are not interested in knowing why you have to do them. You are a person of action who doesn't like to drag things out, but this can result in hasty decisions.

If you want to change your destiny, take a daily bath which allows you sufficient time to think and reflect, which helps you to make the right decisions. As long as you can think twice before acting, your destiny will be changed thoroughly with more health, wealth and happiness coming into your life. * AHEM *

◎There is a background difference between you and your love partner, so it's not easy for her to really understand you. The things you care about she might think totally unimportant and vice versa, so you tend disagree easily over small things.◎

In romance, according to our analysis, you are easily attracted to someone you admire in your heart, but you often end up empty-handed because it's quite difficult for both parties to fall in love at first sight. Generally speaking, women do not have deep first impression of you, so they need time to discover your inner beauty. You, however, tend to like a person at the first sight, but not after a period of time. Therefore, if you are still waiting for a good romance, try to show your inner beauty by doing more activities, establishing better habits, and socializing with more people. This way you can express your inner beauty naturally all the time, which makes your romance go more smoothly.

In the journey of life, your romantic or marriage partner might be introduced by relatives and friends, or through matchmaking. You tend to be inexperienced in love, unable to express yourself, and do not know how to actively pursue someone without being too sticky or giving up easily. You have opportunities but are afraid to get hurt, so eventually it is not easy for you to have the spark of love. If you are still seeking your love partner don't rush because someone nearby likes you, so as long as you pursue the relationship sincerely, the happiness is yours.

* My friends, what are you guys waiting...get ya ass working and find me a wife . Muahahaha *

◎Career and Wealth Analysis: You know how to make money, but it is not easy for you to hold onto your money.◎

According to your destiny analysis, you know how to make money, but it is not easy for you to hold onto your money. Your life is more philosophical, so you are not stingy with yourself, family or friends. You spend what you have even when you are financially tight, and are generous when you are financially comfortable. Because of this, it's not easy for you to save your money. In addition, you maybe convinced easily by friends to make some financial investments that cause you to lose money. You like to make many friends, so you easily lose money if you cannot evaluate risk or reject people when they approach you for investment. You will spend most of your wealth doing things you want to do throughout life because you consider only money spent as the wealth actually owned by you. Afterwards, you will not bequest much to your descendants. * Further Validates that I prefer not to have any kidz. Kidz are annoying creatures *

Low b.p

I have been told by a doctor I have low blood pressure and have been advised to stay at home for the next couple of days

WTF! (I mean the low b.p part. I definitely have no problems with staying at home for a couple of days)

I have always been warned about my escalating high cholestrol and high blood pressure...

and now... duh?

Well, I guess I shouldn't be complaining with a three day MC.

Last night matches sucks.... Brazil scored only 1 goal and France scored nothing. That probably makes me dizzy and faint.

Life is difficult, Blame ya parents

Recommended by Miss Ex-Kick-Boxing-Instructor-now-known-as-Madonna.

The book begins by saying "Life is Difficult" which it claims to parallel to one of the 4 noble Truths which Buddha taught. "Life is suffering". It tickled my brains, pinched my heart hence I decided to read on... I hope is not the usual-cliche self help bullshit.

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

Quick impression of the book after reading a couple of chapters... If your life is difficult, blame ya parents for not teaching you the right stuff. Heh

Dinner

Whipped up a simple dinner last evening for my housemates (my loyal guinea pigs).

Here's the impromptu recipe I have created last evening.

Serves 4 (Approx Cost SGD$4.50 excluding condiments)

2 big slices of batang steaks.
2 pieces of Tau Kua (Dried Beancurd) (Tau Kua is used in place of steamed riced due to lower carbo)
1 bulb of sliced Red Onions
1 tbsp of minced Ginger
2 cloves of Minced Garlic
2 Table spoon of Turmeric Powder
1 Table spoon of Chili Powder
0.5 Coriander Powder
2 Tablespoon of Cornflour
0.5 tsp of salt
1 tsp of sugar

Preparation:

Rinse the Batang steaks and dried them with paper towels.
Rub some salt followed by 1 tbsp of minced ginger and 1 clove of minced Garlic on the batang steak.
Sprinkle one tbsp of Turmeric Powder on both sides of the batang steaks. (Use a pair of chopsticks or tongs to handle the batang steaks as turmeric powder might leave stubborn yellow stains on ya hands).

Marinate for at least 30 minutes

Meanwhile, rinse, dry and cut the tau kua into squares (one parallel horizontal cut and a 2 cross vertical perpendicular cuts to create 8 smaller squares)

Heat (high heat) about 300ml of oil in a deep frying pan for 10 mins. Carefully and swiftly slide the tau kua squares into the heated wok. Ensure the oil covers the tau kua squares. Use medium heat and let the tau kwa deep-fried for about 15 minutes. Swirl the pan intermittently to ensure consistent deep-frying.

Dish out once the tau kwa squares turns golden brown. Allow the excess oil to drain using a strainer.

Sprinkle the cornflour over the batang steaks (both sides). Using the same pan of oil at medium heat, slide the batang steaks in. Ensure the oil covers the surface of the batang steaks. Deep-fry the batang steaks for 10 mins before flipping to the other side.

Dish out and allow the excess oil to drain.

Drain the oil from the pan leaving about a tablespoon of it in the pan. Add the remaining minced garlic, ginger and Red onions. Toss and add 1 tbsp of Turmeric powder, 1 Tbsp of Chili powder (add more if desired), 0.5 tbsp of coriander, 0.5 tsp of salt and sugar. Stir-fry the onions to ensure the condiments are well mixed. Add 2 tablespoon of water (Caution: Clouds of High Heat Steam might be created abruptly when water is added highly heated pan). Continue to stir fry for 2 mins before turning off the flame

The deep fried tau kua and batang steaks can be eaten together with the stir-fried onions.

Note: It is important to dry the batang steaks and tau kua after rinsing to prevent excessive oil splattering during subsequent deep-frying.

Light-hearted Family Business


I guess I need some light-hearted stuffs to lighten me up.

Highly recommended by Miss Kind-and-soft-Heart's friend Mr Shanghai-ed Singaporean.

The series focuses on the pornography industry *Snigger* and the life of Adam Glasser, a 40-something reality porn star and video director who uses the nom de plume Seymore Butts.

Also featured on the series are his mother, Lila Glasser, and his 60-year-old cousin, Stevie Glasser, both of whom help Adam run the eponymous "family business" of the series, which in this case is a successful porn video production and distribution house in the San Fernando Valley.

ROME


Once said, "ROME was not build overnight"

Watch it then.... *lame*

I have finished watching "Rome" Season I. It is as good as "House" despite the pompous-english conversations that littered the entire series. Very Pompous.

Politics, Treachery, Betrayal, Incest, Greed, Adultery, .... u name it, "ROME" has it.

The brutal betrayal of Julius Caesar by Brutus is a mere background of this entire interesting drama.

What keeps me wide awake for almost 18 consecutive hours to finish the entire season one of "ROME" have to be the the camaraderie and loyalty between the righteous Lucius Vorienus and Impulsive Titus Pullo; the intelligence of Gaius Octavian and most delicious, twisted and wicked friendship between Sevilia of the Junii and Attia of Julii.

I think the predictable death of Julius Caesar is a mere product of two scorned women: Sevilia and Attia of Julii.

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"
adapted from a line in the play The Mourning Bride, by William Congreve, an English author of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries
