New home..

Just moved into the new place, finally! After more than a month of getting the place finally moved most of the stuff here and started living in but still takes some getting used to..been getting up really early, maybe cause can't get used to the bed or new place yet but loving it actually, definitely better than the old place cause now my room is bigger and with a new tv and cool beanie glass table and ample cabinets and closets most of all! Though there's still quite a few things to iron out, basically it's just wonderful!

2 deaths in 1 week..

My friend died..and then 2 weeks later my insurance agent died..sigh, people seem to be dropping like flies around me. Or is it because I'm growing older and therefore a higher chance of people I know are also older and possibly dropping dead? Hmm..whatever it is, it's really disheartening because it puts my own mortality into perspective..not that it's never been at the back of my mind but as time goes on and I age I find myself being more and more restless and willing to put up with less and less shit from people and things..sigh..But ultimately I know I will grow old like everyone else, only a matter of time. Fountain of youth anyone?

Artificial skin that lasts forever

We already have aritificial limbs, however it is not yet accessible to the mass market, but imagine if they ever invent artificial skin that can replace our natural skin seamlessly..and replace our failing organs before they fail..we could theoretically live forever and looking young and feeling healthy forever if we can replace everything in our body with viable synthetic alternatives..from blood to skin..the only thing that might not be replaceable would be our brains but who knows? maybe there is a way to migrate our memories to another brain-like vessel that can replace our brains that will last much longer? I should have been a scientist..it may sound more like science fiction than fact but I have hope, many of the things we considered science fiction has become a normal fixture in our lives, such as cars and cellphones, why not cyborgs and robots as well?

Oranges from China..

I'm wondering, with all the flak about food from China, should we be scared of ALL food from China, including fruits? I'm eating oranges from China right now and they taste really nice and sweet surprisingly. But what concerns me is that they don't look like any oranges I've ever had before..first of all the color is really strong, like fiery orange color, not the usual light orange that most oranges have, and the other thing is the shape, they look kind of like orange colored lemons actually so I don't know whether they were interbred or GM (Genetically Modified) oranges, or whether it has to do with the way they're grown. Regardless, they taste great but I'm just wondering whether they're safe to eat..

Name change..

I just don't understand how people can just change their names..Like on Facebook sometimes I want to look up someone that I haven't really been in contact for ages and suddenly I can't find the person, I thought maybe he or she deleted me from the friends list. No doubt that is sometimes the case but every once in awhile, I'll stumble upon the person but with a DIFFERENT name! Why would someone do that?! What could compel a person to change his or her name unless it was something so horrible for them to face that they had to resort to such exteme measures? Well, all I can say is, it would pay to be careful of these here-today-gone-tomorrow characters. Worse of all if they're your friend, are you supposed to call them by their old name or new name? Whatever!

Excerpts from a conversation..

'..even Snow White has seven men! No she has 7 dwarves...oooh she's so kinky!' this was in reference to how hard it is to get guys sometimes and even Snow White has several! Figuratively speaking of course..

'..lost weight but my bulge is still the same, I didn't lose weight in my bulge..' I said to my friend I lost weight but still retain my bulk and somehow he thought I said my bulge..and he doesn't mean the one above the waist..

'curi makan vs. openly makan' To those who do not speak Malay this means in the context of a relationship to 'secretly eat vs. openly eat' i.e. to cheat or to openly have sex with other guys even though attached..My policy is honesty is always the best..

'bottomfly' something to do with a sexual role..

Intolerable cruelty

I don't understand why old people become cranky bitter crackpots when they're old. Is it because they have it against the world and blames everyone that they don't have their youth anymore? Recently I noticed my mom has become progressively worse in her behaviour, i.e. her nagging and doom-and-gloom outlook on life, in fact nowadays she's starting to swear a lot! It worries me because she seems like a far cry from the woman I used to know when I was a child, I mean she never was like a sweet young thing but still, she had a brighter outlook on things, nowadays talking to her just makes me think that the world is going to end anytime. It's scary and it seems that most of my friends around my age are going through the same thing with their moms! What is it that makes old people just go all cucko when they reach a certain age?!?
