Say hello to everyone...

Sorry for the irregular posts recently. The lazy streak in me took over. Somehow, just feel so tired and de-motivated to do anything. Anyway, workload from office didn't help too. It's been crazy.

Back to my crab. I didn't show you any of Kermit's pictures after he successfully molted because he caught WORMS right after his molt. So, since I think it's not very nice for me to show you pictures of him with slimy creatures on him, I thought I'll show you his progress AFTER I DEWORM HIM.

Which is precisely what this post will be doing. TADA! Kermit, free from wormies. He's grown a lot bigger now - which means his pinch also super sakit (painful o). I have decided not to get a new hermit friend for him. (Since Hermie died, he's been alone).

So, if Kermit dies too... then, NO MORE! I don't want anymore. My heart cannot bear the sight of losing anymore pets (for now at least). Hhmmm... maybe getting a squirrel as a pet next is a cool idea. No? Haha... (I think my roommate won't 'permit' me rearing anymore pet I think... she'll be too tired to comfort me everytime it dies) =P

Okie dokie, check out the healthy (also naughty) Kermit in his new shell (He's been changing clothes recently, different shell everyday).

He's very strong. If he decides not to let go, HE WON'T. Check out how he hangs on to my finger... in the middle of the air. Scary... Super crab.

Travel Destination of the Year - Croatia

Yup. Croatia it is. National Geographic conducted a poll and Croatia received the most votes. So, people (who's got extra in their wallet, pack your bags! Croatia, here they go!)

I mention 'they' because I am OBVIOUSLY going to be stuck here in Malaysia. In my office. In my own little stressful cubicle. I soooo super wish I can get out of my office and go travel. After that, come back and don't need to work anymore because someone might tell me that I've won a million dollars, so I can sleep, watch tv, eat then sleep again for the rest of my life. (I think this is resulted from the long holidays... Body is rejecting WORK!)

Weekend, PLEASE COME BACK FAST!

Woohoo!

Work 2 days, get the whole week off! Here's to a hillarious Friday!

Relief.

Alright everyone, after two years of being in this line of work, I say to you:
WELCOME to ADvertising.

Worked until 5am yesterday. 3am the day before yesterday (not my record yet, in previous company, I didn't sleep for 3 days straight). It's one record I don't intend to break.

Now, I am seriously zombi-fied. However, I feel blessed out of my socks! Furthermore, next week is holiday! WOOHOO...

Many thanks to bf who woke up at 5am to fetch me home, to roommate who keeps reassuring me, checking if I'm ok and praying for me, housemate who MSN me to urge me to rest. And, to my boss who probably will never ever read this.

From my 20-minute conversation with her just now, I can sense she really wants to empower me. She really shocked me. Past few days I keep having really horrible thoughts of her trying to destroy me. But she was so patient just now! It's scary. So not like the person I've heard about from my colleagues. She's really changed. Thank God!

Yes, I want to thank Him for making all these happen.

After lunch feeling...

That's right... this video so aptly describes how I feel right now. Hehe... Have been so busy, (that explains why I didn't blog yesterday) didn't have enough sleep... Sniff sniff... Holidays, please come faster!

She literally nailed it...

Lee Redmond's (65 years old) name is entered into the Guinness World Records for having the longest fingernails on both hands (25 feet long!) She stopped filing her nails since 1979.

Her nails 'brought' her special treatments because when she travels by air, they have to upgrade her to a first class seat so that her nails can have space.

Sigh... life's unfair. Mine will break if too long. If not, I'll grow also. Hehe.

Hhhmm... what to wear?

I don't know if it's true. But it's a pretty interesting read.

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Women dress to impress when they are at their most fertile, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday in a study they say shows that signs of human ovulation may not be as mysterious as some scientists believe.

A study of young college women showed they frequently wore more fashionable or flashier clothing and jewelry when they were ovulating, as assessed by a panel of men and women looking at their photographs.

"They tend to put on skirts instead of pants, show more skin and generally dress more fashionably," said Martie Haselton, a communication studies and psychology expert at the University of California Los Angeles who led the study.

While some animals release powerful scents when ready to mate and display skin color changes, human ovulation is notoriously difficult to detect. This is attested to by the frequency of unintended pregnancy, as well as test kits marketed to women wishing to become pregnant but unaware of the likeliest time to conceive.

Haselton's team said their study showed the cues are there, even if men and women are not consciously aware of them.

Women usually ovulate on the 15th day of their menstrual cycles, and this day is when they are the most fertile. Ovulation is easily detected using urine tests, and Haselton's team used such a test to check fertility in their study.

Thursday o!

Haha... Kids really do say the darnest things! The kid's answers are real but just reworded slightly to bring out their meaning.

WHAT, EXACTLY, IS MARIAGE?
"Marriage is when you get to keep your girl and don't have to give her back to her parents!" -Eric, age 6.

HOW DOES A PERSON DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
"You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one." Kally, age 9.
"My mother says to look for a man who is kind. That's what I'll do. I'll find somebody who's kinda tall and handsome." Carolyn, age 8.

CONCERNING THE PROPER AGE TO GET MARRIED:
"Eighty-four! Because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other." Carolyn, age 8.
"Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife!" Bert, age 5.

HOW DID YOUR MOM AND DAD MEET?
"They were at a dance party at a friend's house. Then they went for a drive, but their car broke down. It was a good thing, because it gave them a chance to find out about each other's values." Lottie, age 9.

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." Martin, age 10.
"They just eat pork chops and french fries and talk about love." Craig, age 9.

Smile!

Hillarious, couldn't resist to share this with you all. =)
Enjoy smiling!

I need tissue...

Great acting... Haha. This is done by BBDO Thailand.

What do you see?

You saw a couple in an intimate pose, right? Ok. I am not "hamsap" (perverted) but I just find it very interesting because research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.

What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture!

So, we (including myself unless you straight away see dolphins) are not a young innocent child (sniff sniff... our minds are polluted).

If it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted and you may need help. Good luck in finding the dolphins! =)

(Suggestion: For parents who want to know if your child has been surfing porn & stuff, this is a good test of their innocence)

Friday nonsense

Because it's Friday, I am somewhat over-excited. Nonetheless, enjoy this day! It's super blessed (coz weekend is near!)

A boy was bagging groceries at a supermarket. One day the store installed a machine for squeezing fresh orange juice. Intrigued, the young man asked if he could be allowed to work the machine, but his request was denied. Said the store manager, "Sorry, kid, but baggers can't be juicers."

Every writer has received rejection slips; too many of them for most. This may be the "mother of all rejection slips," translated from a Chinese economic journal. It goes like this:
"We have read your manuscript with boundless delight. If we were to publish your paper, it would be impossible for us to publish any work of lower standard. And as it is unthinkable that in the next thousand years we shall see its equal, we are, to our regret, compelled to return your divine composition, and to beg you a thousand times to overlook our short sight and timidity."

Shopping for clothes

This is one of the shells that I've picked out atthe Philippino Market in Sabah. I intended to get it for my crabs so that they can change clothes. However, after looking at it left, right and centre... I find that it might be a bit too small (and too spikey) for them.

So, I chose the one below instead. Hehe. Since Hermie has passed on, I have decided to give it to Kermit as his after-molt gift. I've already put the shell is in his tank. But don't know if he'll 'wear' it, he can be quite picky about clothes. We'll see...

In moments like this...

Sigh... sitting in my office almost suffocated (donno why can't really breathe today), I wish this could happen to me now.

Ahh... How wonderful and refreshing would that be.
Argghhh! Away from me, you smoke & haze!

Dolly...

Incidentally, my ex-boss is called Elmo. =P






In case you're wondering, I'm not the one who did this to the doll, k? Haha... Found these pix from the net. Since it's quite interesting, thought I should share with you.

Btw, if you have any unwanted dollies, give me! I'll pass them to some people who are in need of anger management.

The OTHER one

Ahem... my other crab, Kermit (my one and only still alive hermit crab) has molted!

Yup... so weird. He just molted in August (click here to see post). Now, molt again. Anyway, this morning when I check, he's still alive and has already eaten 70% of his exoskeleton (the old skin that he shed outside his shell).

Hope he won't die. (I've been trying to disturb him as little as I can)
