3113 Fire Noodles (Die Die Must Try; like, really die):
I ate it. "Shiok" might not be an accurate description of the insane triple chilli icons beside its name. Stupid trowa.. both of us suicided on it yesterday.
You know how damage of time spells work? now imagine the 3113 chilli is a stackable spell. amount of damage i was taking basically multiplies over time cos i was eating mouthful after mouthful. Doesn't help that i drank (cold) water. Thats like "amplify damage" in all senses of the word. Had to stop eating after i took the first sip. Tongue felt like it was peeling.
Well at least now i can say that i ate it. All of it. So did trowa, after a fashion lol. Not a very good thing to eat first time to Thai Express, but you should try it. Its a .. fascinating .. experience.
Aftermath: I predicted that the chilli will do weird things to my stomach. Somehow that didnt prevent me from going to bubble tea and drinking coffee-milk-tea. Stomach started bubbling soon after. i can safely tell you its not a comfortable feeling at all. Went away after a while, so i ignored it. Reached home, and quickly downed "Bao Zai Yun"(tm) if you dunno what that is, its basically something that constipates you to prevent you from, erm, excessive diarrhea. After that, logic then went to sleep and i did some very stupid things.
I drank milk. Fresh milk.
Now, we know that chinese are lactose intolerant people, and that fresh milk on its own can cause diarrhea for us. Also, when you have indigestion, it is generally suicidal to drink milk. Well, since logic was out of the window, i drank a full cup of milk.
My stomach exploded.
You know those cool science experiments in secondary school where you mixed acid and base and you get cool reactions, resulting in salt precipitates and sometimes gas? Hm. Chilli is acidic, thats why its spicy in your mouth. Milk is also a common household basic liquid. Somehow that didnt occur to me until i started feeling things get a little rowdy in my stomach.
Flew to the kitchen and got myself a cup of teh-o (thats tea without milk) and drained the cup. Have to note that teh-o is actually basic too ya? thats why it helps with stomach gastric and stuff. But somehow it helped and i didnt even have to go to the toilet. Cool ya? then i stayed up to 3:30 am lol. What do you expect? i just drank a cup of Coffee-milk-tea and a cup of hot tea.
Meh. I don't think i'm ever going to eat 3113 ever again.

i propose that one does not donate money because his peers do not donate money. if your peers donate 5 dollars each to the famine relief fund then you yourself will be under pressure to donate. After all, donating is a good thing and not donating is not a bad thing. supererogatory ftw.
i suggest the United Nations imposes a 5% income tax on all rich nations in its member states, that is transferred without leakage (ie not used to pay for anything else and thus reduce the amount of corruption that takes place) to poor and impoverished nations of the world. if we all spend the same amount of money helping people who cant help themselves, why would anyone mind? After all that 150/3000 bucks wouldnt really go to anything that is a necessity to our lives.
--
Tens of millions of people are dying to starvation. A few people are donating billions to charity. 22 billion may sounds like a lot, coming from the 2nd richest man in the world, but the world's population is (1626 hrs +8GMT 27/08/06) estimated to be 6.6 billion. Not counting the perhaps 3 billion people who live in poverty, of which 1.1 billion are subsisting (or not) on less than 1 USD a day, the other half of the world only has to come up with 10 dollars to far exceed that 22b from a single person.
With about 11 million children dying before the age of 5 (2005), from health problems long eradicated in developed countries, we ponder on the concept of medicine, and wonder why despite holding the cure in our hands, we choose to let 11 million human beings die to respiratory infection, malaria, measles and even diarrhea. Instead of waiting for people to pay for the healthcare of other people's children, why cant pharmaceutical companies use their own profits to do some good with their medicine, which in the first place was meant to be a gift of life.
"Bless agriculture and stock raising
Banish all famine and diseases;
Fill the land with good health
And bless it." - part of the S.Africa's National Anthem, "God Bless Africa".
We, the people of the developed nations, have been playing god for so long. with genetically modified food, we have boosted world crop yield multi-fold. we have indeed banished, as mentioned in the previous para, famine and diseases from our own land. What have we done other than that? we have shifted crop yield profits from farmers to those who provide the seeds. some have decided on subsidies to their own farmers to protect markets from others offering the same at lower prices. When supply is too high and threatens to reduce profits (unfortunately reduce prices so that the poor can afford more and live a better life) some choose to burn all the excess. What has this world come to and what has happened to logic and empathy in the face of commercialism? What is stopping us from blessing africa?

eww... brazil match was quite disappointing.. only one goal, and most of the shots on goal were from outside the box... just drilling. Ronaldo was being inactive.. literally not doing much, he had like one shot on goal after like 70 minutes... and missed. Well, it was more jing cai than the stupid french match, got ronaldinho running thru the defence and then their passing will screw up. Did well bah.. the defence close in v. fast so they din have space to move.
i missed the spain match >< cos i was feeling pissed with people who tell me not to watch when im watching, then tell me to watch when im not. 4:0 i only saw one. waiting for yahooworldcup to update for the matches. next match was quite drama lol... didnt know SA could score goals. didnt stay up for german match, even though i slept at like 3;30.

lol.. i found a malaysian channel called SCTV.. showing live telecast of World Cup matches... stupid singapore tv.. stupid starhub, and u know.. i dun think the damaged malaysia feed was accidental.
anyw.. so far all the matches ive watched have been jing cai.. for example, i didnt watch teh england match. lol.. that one was damn funny when i read it in the papers.. cant imagine how people sat thru the remaining 87 mins. haha i watched
Germany-Costa (6 goals)
Mexico-Iran (4 goals)
Japan-Australia (4 goals, although it was going to be 1 haha japan damn sad sia)
Czech-USA (3 goals)
lol all very jing cai.. i think mexico was the best, czech match was gd all the way. reference to the portugal 1-0, netherlands 1-0 sweden 0-0 haha... only thing that was gd and i missed was the argentina one.. which was before i got the sctv haha. heres my picks for today
KOREA - Togo (guess which side im supporting. predicting 2:1, maybe 3:2 cos im watching it)
Brazil - Croatia (^^ expectations are high) but i have no idea how im going to stay awake until 3am... maybe ill watch france.. although i suspect it will be a 1:0 game. well, if the brazil match has less than 3 goals u know i did watch it =P
btw its nice having a coffee shop 12 storeys away.. somehow the distance doesnt dampen the "GOAL!!!!"

in other unrelated news,
charles didnt win eswc:wc3 haha...
gosubay didnt win eswc:wc3... but is representing singapore
same goes for sbd in fifa...
very weird how we send people who got 2nd for international competitions. It's quite bad that we send people who already lost (ie know that they are not really the best) for international competitions. of course, they are the "best" Singaporeans, but its quite badmanners letting people from other countries take part in ESWC Singapore. Thats like the malaysians coming over to pwn us during WCG Singapore. Regardless, i dont understand why Singapore lets them do this. Considering they have their own bloody competitions, which these Singapore No.1 malaysians Dont win. gg to singapore.
oh wells. in more unrelated news,
my fridge is in my dining room beside the house door...
"Whats the shortest length? (of handle)"
"200mm"
"Got 150?"

did you know that if u drip water on someone's head non-stop for days on end, the combined pressure is enough to cave in the skull?
well, i feel like someone ( i wont say who, since those who should know already know him very well) has been poking me in the back of my head repeatedly for the last 6 months. i seriously think he doesnt have a clue how much mental torture he's subjecting me to, and probably thinks he's right anyway.
seriously feeling sibei depressed (pun intended) now.
^^ happy holidays to you too.

"The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them" - Sunday Times
I am in the latter... going to join the former soon. Found a two-year-old copy of LOTR in a bookcase, that my brother bought for me to read... which i didnt. Well, i intend to change that, and with all three parts in one book, its surprisingly unabridged and reminds me of a single copy of The Wheel Of Time... which indeed goes round in circles about a bush with numerous patterns and weaves........ erm.
Anyway the font size is about 7. Thats what happens when u put the entire LOTR into 1000 pages. my eyes tear after 2hrs of reading it, so im making slow progress..
also i regret watching LOTR before reading hte book. Now when i read it my mind is filled with magic... and images of hollywood actors and actresses. I find myself unable to render my own depictions of characters in the book that i have already seen on screen. That has not reduced the book's lure though, the words my brother said so long ago were indeed true.
"Aiyah, get past the first 100 pages then not boring liao."
ha.. that time i reached page 47 i was bored out of my wits and stopped.. now im at 244, and i don't intend to stop, simply because im not bored by the book. Anyone who wants to read it can borrow it from me, it didnt really cost much.. id say $8 for a 1100 page paperback of a classic is cheap stuff. ps. after im done of course.

woot today is the day of the double post! haha nt cos i didnt blog recently, but cos elektions are over! or at least nothing i say will affect votes anymore =X
a few stuffs i have been thinking about, whether or not its completely my idea nt that impt yes?
1) Tanjong Pagar got a lot of old people, but the lift upgrading programme by the pap doesnt seem to be encompassing that area. maybe its just a given and theres no point saying? what about the people in oppo parties? shudnt the funding be channelled to those who need it most, as compared to giving it to people as a carrot of a stick? (+3% to mount speed)
2a) The opposition party says they will work out a way to give their area lifts upgrading, but somehow cannot spend more than ?10%? of their reserves, and only if the people dont pay more than ?6k?. the PAP says the ongoing lifts upgrading is a PAP scheme... and say that they have ?100 million? prepared to give upgrading to ALL flats for FREE. [?? for i nt sure about actual figures, but thats a damn big carrot] well, i think people may still vote for opposition... not all of them are mules, and not all of them need the upgrading... but the oppo is offering exactly the same thing!
2b) WHO CARES ABOUT THE LIFTS? why shud the lifts make up the main point of contention in the elections? i thot the whole point of opposition is to keep a check and balance on the government (ie PAP) to ensure they dont step out of line? only they have the power to request for financial reports and such.
3) Anyone wondered why the opo people are so active now? methinks it has something to do with the new pm... maybe they think they stand a better chance now. nt to say that LHL is bad... more like LKY is utter gosu. haha all that talk about singapore being soft authoritarian made me think that LKY was actually an authoritarian stuck in a democratic government.
4) what will happen if LHL doesnt win his grc? that will be A.D.(assured destruction) for our economy, our government and our way of life. wow.. doesnt that sound like terrorism? one wonders why he's in a contested grc...
*) haha if you don't vote its a crime... that entails a $5 dollar fine! At least thats what my sources state... nt sure about repeat offenders.
disclaimer: nah beh.. dun come after me for this k? anything incorrect here is not to defame anyone, im just some insignificant puddle typing stuff for my frends to absorb and serve as food for thought.
