This song is quite old, but only after checking out their MTV then i realise why the dance moves have caught on all over the world. Got clapping! Haha.
I like the story in the MTV, esp the toilet part ;) Can't believe they splash so much $$$ on the MTV costumes and sets.
Since young, my mum has been teaching us that 'properly educated' people don't shake their legs, standing or seated. Only Bengs and Lians do that.
Well, I wish that part of me is Lian... cos realised that it's actually an essential baby-care skill! Good to soothe a fretful baby. Must start practising now.
The first time I tried to jiggle Boy Boy, I totally could not get the rhythm. Bad coordination! So retarded. I actually had to mentally count 1, 2, 1, 2...
Retard Incident No.2 =================
Hubby was carrying Boy Boy and I was standing talking to him while holding Boy Boy's feet. Boy Boy started crying and I instinctively started bouncing up and down.
Retard Incident No.3 =================
I was sitting on the sofa with Boy Boy on my lap, bouncing up and down to entertain him. A phone call came for me and Hubby passed me the phone while carrying Boy Boy away. I remained on the sofa, talking on the phone. And bouncing, until Hubby pointed out that my lap was empty.
This is the recent Cadbury chocolate ad that has gotten many people amused. I like the ad, but from the point of the client, I wouldn't use it because it's telling my customers that my product makes their children hyper ;) Who will buy then? Thought it would be for some iPod product.
There are so many things to watch out for when buying a new flat. For one, be careful not to choose a unit that is just beside the lift lobby. Like mine.
Anyone exiting or entering the lifts has a clear view of my laundry because the layout is just like that. Not just my unit, but also the symmetrical unit next to ours.
I used to be really thrifty with regards to my underwear. Hee hee, I would wear them until they had holes in them. But after shifting into my new place, I've had to throw them away once the holes become too obvious. Or else my neighbours will know! Although I don't know how or why that would matter. So what if they know? But still paisey lah.
Because I've become a bit of a voyeuristic kaypoh neighbour myself. After Stupid Rude Man moved out (see previous post), a couple moved into his unit.
We've been very curious about them since. Not our fault, as our master bathroom window is well-aligned and if we stand on the bathtub, we can look straight into their kitchen (which also means vice-versa, eeps!)
Since they moved in, they have been throwing parties like nobody's business. Groups of guests come and go, and they would close all the windows, switch on the aircons and play booming music that blasts out their main door whenever someone opens it. They even had a house-warming buffet that encroached near to our main door, without inviting any of the neighbours to join in. How's that for neighbourly behaviour?
So far the intelligence that we've gathered:
Their names (the wife told me once when we met at the lift lobby)
They are active in church (they hold gatherings for teens from Sunday Class/cell group in their home)
The wife runs a home business in some beauty service (manicure? facial? still figuring it out)
The wife wears really really small red underwear (as seen on her bamboo poles), although she isn't that small-sized ahem.
And that, my friends, is the reason why I am so conscious about my laundry nowadays.
This 卢广仲 guy's now so famous amongst Taiwanese youth. He's actually a newcomer and has his own songwriting album. Cool hair, specs, high socks and tailored shorts! Luckily he has a kuso image.. cos he's quite ugly ;) But I think it's nice that some of his songs make the listener feel happy :)
Went to have my hair cut the other day and had to wait in the queue. Had nothing else to read except Her World and 老夫子 comics, so of course I chose the latter. Haven't touched them for so long! Surprisingly I still got amused by the wry humour hee hee. Was chuckling in my seat, a bit too loud sometimes I think!
"Finding joy in sorrow" Can we all do this? Haha sure to frustrate the boss!
"Invader" So true of cats!
Speaking of which, Copper has grown so strong that every night he manages to force open the latched toilet door. Before which, the door slams and opens numerous time beginning from around midnight when he starts getting restless. I'm a light sleeper so it wakes and keeps me up. The last few nights I've finally given up and left them running around in the house during the night.
Which brings me to another conundrum: Marvel walks around meowing loudly, again waking me up many times during the night. Sometimes he even stands right outside my bedroom door and meows for a loooong time, brushing against the beaded curtain which clangs back onto the door. So I lay awake for many hours, getting unrestful sleep.
And my husband sleeps like a log throughout the din. Not fair!!! Saboteur cats knocked out the next morning...
How true and funny! When our cats were sick we had to stuff pills down their throats and use syringes to force feed them :o
--------------------
1. Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.
3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.
4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of 10.
5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.
6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, holding front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold cats head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines from hearth and set to one side for glueing later.
8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with its head just visible from below spouse's armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force cat's mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply band-aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.
11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Throw T-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12. Ring fire brigade to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.
13. Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Force cat's mouth open with small spanner. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 1/2 pint of water down throat to wash pill down.
14. Get spouse to drive you to emergency room; sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Stop by furniture shop on way home to order new table.
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.' They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
Here's an old article from TODAY Oct. 23, 2007 for your reading. Gross but useful -"Health" magazine senior editor Frances Largeman-Roth pinpoints the 12 germiest places you’re likely to encounter during an average day and devises ways for you to keep clean. 80% of infections are spread through hand contact. So wash up, people, and get ready to wage a bit of germ warfare of your own:
1. Your kitchen sink Kitchen sinks are dirtier than most bathrooms. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria per square inch in the drain alone. Plus your sponge, basin and faucet handles are crawling with bacteria as well.
Reduce the risk: Clean your kitchen counters and sink with an antibacterial product after preparing or cleansing food, especially raw fruits and vegetables, which carry lots of potential pathogens like salmonella, campylobacter and E. coli. Wash your hands as well with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds (long enough to sing “Happy Birthday”). Sanitize sponges by running them through the dishwasher’s drying cycle, which will kill 99.9 percent of bacteria on them. As for the sink, clean it twice a week with a solution of one tablespoon of chlorine bleach and one quart of water. Scrub the basin, the pour solution down the drain.
2. Airplane bathrooms It may not be a shock that there are a huge number of germs in most public bathrooms, but experts agree the cramped and overused ones on airplanes are the worst. There are often traces of E. coli or fecal bacteria on the faucets and door handles because it’s hard to wash hands in the tiny sinks. And the volcanic flush of the commode tends to spew particles into the air, coating the floor and walls with whatever had been swirling around in it.
Reduce the risk: Toilet seats are surprisingly clean, but use the paper cover when available. After using the toilet, wash and dry your hands thoroughly, and use a paper towel to handle the toilet seat, lid, tap and doorknob. Put the lid down before you flush. If there’s no lid, turn your back to the toilet while flushing and beat a hasty retreat.
3. A load of wet laundry Any time you transfer underwear from the washer to the dryer, you’re getting E. coli on your hands. Just one soiled undergarment can spread bacteria to the whole load and machine.
Reduce the risk: Run your washer at 150 degrees (you can check the temperature of your washing-machine water with a candy thermometer) and wash whites with bleach (not the color-safe type; it doesn’t pack the same punch), which kills 99.9 percent of bugs. Transfer wet laundry to the dryer quickly so germs don’t multiply, wash underwear separately (there’s about a gram of feces in every pair of dirty underwear) and dry for at least 45 minutes. Wash your hands after laundering.
4. Public drinking fountains Drinking fountains are bound to be germy, but school fountains are the worst, with anywhere from 62,000 to 2.7 million bacteria per square inch on the spigot.
Reduce the risk: Send your child to school with plenty of their own beverages and tell them to wash their hands throughout the day.
5. Shopping cart handles Saliva, bacteria and fecal matter are just a few of the substances found on shopping cart handles. Cart handles rank high on the yuck scale because they’re handled by dozens of people every day and, of course, raw food carries nasty pathogens.
Reduce the risk: Many stores have dispensers with disinfectant wipes near the carts. If your store doesn’t, bring your own wipes and give the handle a quick swab. Or carry along a cart cover like the Grip-Guard or Healthy Handle.
6. ATM buttons If you’re not careful, you might pick up more than quick cash from your local ATM. These buttons have more gunk on them than most public-bathroom doorknobs! ATMs aren’t frequently cleaned, and are regularly touched — a perfect combination for a lot of germs.
Reduce the risk: Carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with you and rub it on hands after visits. Also be sure to do it after you handle paper money, which actually carries quite a few germs, too.
7. Your handbag Recent studies found that most women’s purses had tens of thousands of bacteria on the bottom and a few were overrun with millions. Another study found bugs like pseudomonas (which can cause eye infections) and skin-infection-causing staphylococcus bacteria, as well as salmonella and E. coli.
Reduce the risk: Instead of slinging your bag on the floor, hang it on a hook whenever possible — especially in public bathrooms — and keep your bag off the kitchen counter. Stick with leather or vinyl purses, which are typically cleaner than cloth.
8. Playgrounds There’s just no way to put this delicately: Children tend to ooze bodily fluids and then spread them around. When researchers sampled playgrounds, they found blood, mucus, saliva and urine. Pair those findings with the fact that children put their fingers in their mouths and noses more than the rest of us, and it’s easy to understand why Junior (and maybe his mom or dad) has the sniffles.
Reduce the risk: Carry alcohol wipes or hand-sanitizing gel in your purse, and clean everybody’s hands a couple of times during a park visit, especially before snacking. Pick warm sunny days for outdoor play: The sun’s ultraviolet light is actually a very effective disinfectant. Most bugs won’t survive long on surfaces that are hot and dry.
9. Mats and machines at health clubs Antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus has been found on yoga mats and cardio and resistance machines. At high schools, antibiotic-resistant-staph infections have been transmitted through wrestling mats. The same thing could happen at health clubs.
Reduce the risk: Wipe down machines with antibacterial wipes before working out. Bring your own yoga mat or cover a loaner with your towel. Shower after a workout and soap up your skin to rinse off any bacteria you may have been exposed to, as thorough washing gets rid of antibiotic-resistant staph.
10. Your bathtub Shocking, but true: The place you go to get clean is quite dirty. A recent study found staphylococcus bacteria, a common cause of serious skin infections, in 26 percent of the tubs tested, as compared with just 6 percent of garbage cans. Tubs typically had more than 100,000 bacteria per square inch! You’re washing germs and viruses off your body and the tub is a fairly moist environment, so bacteria can grow.
Reduce the risk: Once a week, apply a disinfecting cleaner to the tub and actually scrub. Then you need to wash the germs down the drain with water and dry the tub with a clean towel. If you leave the tub wet, germs are more likely to survive. If someone who uses the tub has a skin infection, scrub it afterward with a solution of two tablespoons bleach in one quart of water.
11. Your office phone This is enough to make you dial 911: Office phones often have more than 25,000 germs per square inch, and your desk, computer keyboard and mouse aren’t far behind. Phones, including cell phones, can be pretty gross because they get coated with germs from your mouth and hands.
Reduce the risk: Simply cleaning your desk, phone and keyboard with a disinfecting wipe once in the middle of the day will kill 99.99 percent of the bacteria and viruses.
12. The hotel-room remote control What’s the first thing you do when you settle in at a hotel? You grab the remote control and switch on the TV — you, and the hundreds of other guests who’ve stayed there. How dirty is it? A recent study tested various surfaces for the cold virus after a group of sick people had stayed overnight and found the virus on the remote, door handles, light switches, pens and faucet handles.
Reduce the risk: Clean the remote control, phone, clock radio, door handles and light switches with germicidal wipes.
One beautiful December evening Huan Cho and his girlfriend Jung Lee were sitting by the side of the ocean. It was a romantic full moon, when Huan Cho said "Hey baby, let's play Weeweechu."
"Oh no, not now, lets look at the moon" said Jung Lee.
"Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I play Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time", Huan Cho Begged.
"But I rather just hold your hand and watch the moon."
"Please Jung Lee, just once play Weeweechu with me."
Jung Lee looked at Huan Chi and said, "OK, we'll play Weeweechu."
Huan Cho grabbed his guitar and they both sang...
"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."
Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death. They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden.......
"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell? Ees bacon I ahm sure of eet."
"Si, Luis eet smells like bacon to meee".
So, with renewed strength, they struggle up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon. There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture ... there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon... every imaginable kind of cured pig meat.
"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Eet EES a bacon tree!"
"Luis, are you sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the Desert don't forget."
"Pepe when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smeell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree".
And with that ...Luis races toward the tree. He gets to within 5 meters, with Pepe following closely behind, when all of a sudden a machine gun opens fire and Luis is cut down in his tracks.
It is clear he is mortally wounded but, true friend that he is, he manages to warn Pepe with his dying breath.
"Pepe...go back man,you was right...ees not a bacon tree."
"Luis Luis, mi amigo...what ees it?
"Pepe...ees not a bacon tree... Ees.......... Ees........ Ees......... Ees.............
