pee shiver

a recent conversation with a friend culminated with me searching and searching for information regarding the normally occuring phenomena of pee shiver,

pee shiver - you know when you are draining off the last bits of your urine, and ur body sort of convulses, like you having a minor split second spasm,

well, there's not much literature on the subject on the net, (possibly due to my limited googling ability,) but anyway,

one Dr R. James Swanson from Old Dominion University attributes it to the "micturition reflex relayed through the autonomic nervous system (ANS)" This means that we shiver (micturition reflex) more when there is a bigger volume (means greater pressure) of urine flowing through our urinary tract since our nerve endings are located there,

huh?

putting it simply, if you're one of those who hold in your urine, you'll probably experience the shivering more often - so you were right dil!  ¶ 10:45 pm 0 comments

  EXCLUSIVE Angelina finds love in Singapore

Hollywood - Seductress actress Angelina Jolie was spotted shopping and munching on the sinfully delicious prata tumbuk with an identified man in Geylang Serai, Singapore yesterday. Witnesses claim that they saw the couple, who were behaving intimately, (as it was after "buka") choosing traditional Malay costumes like "kebaya" and bikinis mini at Joo Chiat Complex before heading into HajaH Maimunah restaurant.
Although Angelina's official spokesperson refused to confirm the alleged relationship, she said that Angelina is in Singapore to visit friends.
The Nothings News managed to snag an exclusive photo of her allleged beau, believed to be a Singaporean male, from hidden cameras we sneaked into her hotel bedroom.

  what boredom does to man

tribute

i'll never break your heart,
this i promise you, i swear
so give it one more try
babe,
ain't our love ain't here anymore?

should i sing a million love songs?
or do i swear it again
all i know is if i let you go
and you're gone,
i'll be drowning


chorus
so quit playing games with my heart
and love me for a reason
but never forget
that a picture of you
is larger than life
so i pray each night
that you're back for good

isn't it a wonder
that sorry seems to be the hardest word
although i'd breathe easy,
if you say the words,
as long as you love me,
i'll show you the best in me

bridge
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
though we've come to the end of the road
in the still of the night, no matter what,
i'm flying without wings?

so how? grammy material?  ¶ 4:13 am 0 comments

 

Night Watch

watch it for the cool effects, and layout and blah blah,,,(trailer)

but after watching it, i liked it even more

well, it's in russian, so i pretty much shut off my ears when they talked, which gave me more brain power (i've some left, contrary to popular belief)to concentrate on other stuff,

i like the fact that it isn't simply a good versus evil cheap flick, it actually potrays an evil that is good and a good that is evil, which sorta outlines what all of us already know - that white and black don't exist, just many, many shades of grey,

of peaches, painkillers and pon de replay
ever wondered why tinned peaches look so different from the fresh ones? tinned peaches are orange, almost golden, and they are spongy, but not too springy, and just have the right consistency, in short, it makes you want to eat more,

the fresh ones, although supposed to be better, (read, less sugar, more anti-oxidants, blah blah) are more fibrousy, has pits, sometimes have patches of brown which i used to think were worm houses, (another story i promise),

so why do tin peaches taste so good? is it the sugar, or is some unknown reaction with the tin during the tinning process, maybe they manufacture these peaches secretly from some gelatine and egg combo,

i think fresh peaches just don't do it for me,

just like painkillers,

i've upgraded from using panadol junior in the past, to panadol (adult) and now, it seems i need four at one time to keep out the migraine, so i go for panadol extra, which means i've a deadly cocktail of painkillers hiding in my blood, somewhere, soon i'll probably need painkiller "poison extra"

and i'm stuck, rather addicted to watching cooking shows on tv,

like how hot rihanna sings "pon de replay"


*pon de replay means play it again in Barbados slang, or so i've heard  ¶ 12:38 pm 0 comments

  on the way home

well, met an old friend today, was close to her in the past, but somehow we kinda lost touch with each other's lives, so it was kinda refreshing, catching up with her, talking about our sad lives, or our no life days,

anyway, i've got to catch up with lots of people i know, maybe some of them don't even want to be caught, but i promise i promise to get round all of them before 2010  ¶ 3:00 am 0 comments

  and you thought your kids were safe
from an intellectual conference in holland village yesterday,

kids nowadays are sent to nurseries, pre-school, pre-nurseries, post pre-school but before real school, you know, kids have to learn the shapes and sizes after6 months in their moms' wombs,

so what are they learning, in these introductory institutions?

just nursery rhymes and numbers and stuff,

chances are, mother goose is giving them a head start in life

""she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes""

no guesses who's mountain she'll becoming around four times,

""here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, early in the morning""

over here, we are teaching the kids that when they wake up in the morning, there's nothing more welcominfg than interfering with someone else's bush before that nice bowl of fruit loops,

but my favourite one would have to be this one --

wee willie winkie, runs through the town
upstairs and downstairs in his night gown
rapping at the windows, crying through the lock
are the children all in bed, for it's now eight o'clock

just one more

upstairs and downstairs
upon my lady's window
then i saw a cup of sack
and a race of ginger
apples at the fire
and nuts to crack
and a little boy in the cream pot
up to his neck

sick to those who made up these rhymes, but thanx for the advance education and lifelong learning opportunities

sick to me too i guess  ¶ 12:05 am 0 comments

  lunch

in the never progressing queue during lunch today, i was pondering what to eat,

should i go for nasi tomato (at least it looks like it under the layer of oil) - something i've never eaten before in school, and risk the unfamiliar spices that would penetrate my sinuses or go for my usual rice and chicken and bagedil with a dollop of sambal belacan combo, i can't do without chicken, not since my teenage years

the queue evidently moved as it was my turn after like 20,000,000 hours,

so i thought to myself,
well, it's the start of the week, exciting times ahead,
so i chose rice and cucumber along with water crest and bittergourd, topped off with some brinjal and beancurd salad kind of thing,

for the first time, i forgot to buy chicken  ¶ 2:10 am 0 comments
