Nope. I have nice teeth; only defect being the lower front baby teeth. They’ve never grown out.

Why I Wear White Pants
Shaz, William and I went around town. Details will not follow as William intends to keep the idea to ourselves.
Pardon the French(man Shaz) or rather, pardon the Malaysian English.
Shaz: Eh William. Why you always wear white pants one? If I put chocolate there, won’t it be very obvious?
William: It’s not white lah… it’s beige.
Albert: Well better a chocolate stain on white pants than a white stain on black pants.
(This was in direct reference to the condensed milk that Shaz dripped onto his black pants earlier.)
Effect Food
My once distraught friend sobbed.
“I gained 1 kilogram after eating a lychee!”
Perhaps, then, we should be thankful that McDonalds is taking a step towards awareness; they call it the Quarter Pounder. People like me, trying to gain weight, know damn well that we will gain at least a quarter of a pound eating it. We don’t have any guarantee how much we’d gain with a Big Mac (heck, they could change the weight of a Big Mac anytime!)
Soon, with enough people filing lawsuits (“caution: contents may be hot“) we will have food items named not to promise the tongue but to tell you what you can expect. Big Triple-bypass Heart Attack Mac.
Now don’t take me seriously, I love McDonalds and fast food in general.
When was the last time…
You woke up groggily, hobbled down the stairs for a drink, looked at the time and went, “Whoa. 2 AM! That’s late…”
Happy I was to realize that.
On Sunday, I slept at 10 PM, like in my school days. :O I usually sleep between 2-4 AM.
I like this picture, too!
Soft
You like being comfortable, no matter what you are doing. You’d rather be in old sweat pants than butt-baring miniskirts. You associate well with people and you have a little bit of what everyone likes. Try and mix it up a bit. Remember, the most unpredictable people are the predictable ones.
Who Am I?
As of late, I have been changing my MSN Messenger nickname. (Of course, I also reversed it.)
Before this, it would always be Glaring Notebook. Now people are telling me they almost deleted me from their friends. (Well yay then the unobservant deleter won’t bug me.) Or they go “who is this?” and start cursing. (My nicknames are hardly offensive, though a bit odd… plus I don’t use horrible fancy characters.)
Gee, I don’t delete friends with strange nicks (can’t you read my email, even if it is backwards?) I don’t know if people who change nicks all the time get deleted either. I thought nick-changing was commonplace, especially to lyrics. If it’s not lyrics then it’s some gothic depression expression.
Oh, right. I’m supposed to add my old nick to it, but that would spoil the reversed cuteness of having a nick like reebtoow dna sregrubma now wouldn’t it?
Where is my cheese?
Shaz, Alex and I were at A&W Drive In, PJ for our own ice-creamed waffle escapade. I forgot to whip out my digicam for this round (Alex took pictures though). It was good minus the fact that I did not get my cheese!
Sorry for the badly lit picture of the receipt.
Waffles
I went to college to find my lecturer still in her hometown, with a blur-as-heck collegemate going “I think next week got class lah…”
Ah well, no use slitting wrists over that, I said, and walked over to A&W KLCC. I ordered a coney dog combo with root beer float, and a waffle with butter and syrup. I put the tray on the table and went to the sink to wash my hands. As I walked back, they brought a waffle with icecream and strawberry syrup!
“Eh I ordered with butter and syrup!”
As they left, I realized that my tray already had butter and syrup. Damn, wasted a chance to have free icecream and strawberry syrup.
My intention was to put butter, then syrup, then fill the waffle cells like honeycombs with icecream from the float, like so:
Notice on the right that there was more than enough leftover float. 🙂 Yes that is how I eat my waffles uh-hyuk.
Oh, and I’ve updated my Quotes with:
“The darker it is, the more powerful the effect of the flash.”
An unconclusive theory on genealogy
I was hanging out at a mamak in Hartamas with colleagues (after a frag session) when the subject of male-to-female ratio came up. Statistics say females currently outnumber males.
The magic of my associative brain brought back Biology lessons – the male determines the gender of the child. A guy can marry as many wives and still be cursed with only daughters (before you stamp [SEXIST] on my forehead, I say they would cost more to raise!)
At first I figured that the chromosome that says “bear plenty bosomfuls” would not be passed down, since the female’s genes would have no say in the child’s gender. This would thus increase the probability of males.
That last sentence was in contradiction to the case.
The mom would still pass down her dad’s “bear plenty bosomfuls” to the sons she might have.
And so, I have no conclusion.
Flashback to another Hartamas night, where we were introduced to this girl who, if she had a son, would name him “Q-Tip“. Yes “Q-Tip“. My colleagues asked, “would you marry her if you knew she wanted a son named Q-Tip?”
Perhaps, if I knew it was in my genes to “bear plenty bosomfuls“. I knew it was unlikely, as my mom had five brothers and one sister, while my father’s father’s lineage was MFMF (Male-female-male-female). My father-side cousins were MM, MF and M. My mother-side cousins were FM. I’m the first M in my dad’s MFM. Hence, the son-making XY factor would be strong in me.
And so I said, “no, I would not marry you“. Pity then, she was cute. 🙂
And now, for the answer to the question girls like to ask: How many children would you like to have, and in what ratio?
I like them MFM, like how it is now. Or more practically, MF. Having FFM would make for a effeminate son, like some people I know. MFM would churn a slightly tomboyish middle daughter like my sister, but I figure tomboys wouldn’t go for expensive clothes, and they would be… independent? Plus, they would kick ass and I would feel safer letting them go out.
