A Better Living

Depends.

My friend told me a story about his days in the army. The exercises in the army are very strenuous, and his friend actually wore boxers for that day. Half way working out, he complained of severe pain at his private area, but the higher authorities just ignored him.

At the end of the day, he started to shrink like a prawn and his bunk mates suspected something serious of course. Soon, they found out that his two balls had literally twisted, and that is the cause of the excruciating pain.

Apart from that, there has been a rumour that wearing briefs increases the temperature of your testicles, which could lead to low sperm count. But, the temperature difference between wearing boxers and briefs is really minor.

I read an interesting article in the papers today. If the HR department were to calculate a mom’s salary just by doing house work, it would roughly cost $23,000 per month.

But I think a mom deserves better than that. It just…can’t be put into words. The sacrifice that they made for us are just overwhelming.

Just want to wish all mommies out there, have a very Happy Mother’s Day.

The answer is NO! Pushing yourself may cause your body to take longer to get over the cold. Stay home for the 1st day or 2, especially if you have a fever over 37.8 degrees celsius and coughing up greenish mucus. That’s a possible sign of bronchitis or flu. Not getting enough rest can also worsen your health problems and may lead to asthma.

Furthermore, cold is very contagious in the 1st two days, so your co-workers would be happy if you just stay at home Hey with the availability of the internet and cell phones, there’s no way that you can’t still be in contact with them, and get rest at the same time.

Imagine if you are alone in this world with another twit. You have no choice but to work with him in order to find the basic necessities to survive. Unfortunately, he is that sort who has no initiative and only does things when he is told.

He knows no cooking and no knowledge of shelter infrastructure. Then, your anger starts to build up and you can’t control over the impulsivity. Oh no, you are starting to show stress symptoms and patterns of unstable personal relationship.

Finally, you screamed, “I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!” and decided to transform into the dark lord calling yourself………. Read more »

Edison Chen’s sex scandal is still a hot searched topic even though he has officially apologised through the media. It’s because of his one stupid mistake that left him “famous” in a wrong way. I shall not go into the details since lots of bloggers has already typed out this issue. Not only film stars, but normal people like you could also be the victim.

Hence, online bullies could even be the computer’s repairman, siblings, or even your school mates. Looks like the impact of being bullied online is much worse than getting into a fight in school. Do you know that there are teenagers who died because of this? For example, Ryan Halligan who killed himself due to his female classmate who spreads information about him online.

Choosing what to wear for work/school is stressful enough. But choosing the right bra to wear is another hassle. Bra comes in a wide range of colours and types, and 80% of women buy the wrong one. Unfortunately, this increases the risk of pain and nerve damage caused by bra straps, particularly during exercise.

If you think you are an A cup but buy a C instead and start stuffing tissues thinking that guys would love it and make heads turn, you should go for a mental check up. Just like what Sloba commented in my Weight Matters In Getting A Date post,

When we men see girl with big breasts, the first reaction is WOW. And the girls hear that once, twice, 50th times, and suddenly she has a desire to have her own parachutes.

But what they actually don’t realize is that its just natural reaction. Because whenever you see something big, your reaction is something like WOOW! If you see big monkey or raccoon your reaction is pretty similar.

I would like to apologise for not updating frequently. It’s now the peak period for collection of data and I have to entertain the auditors. They are the most irritating bunch that I had ever seen, other than annoying kids.

Ok, to summarise from what I had experienced yesterday, I shall not step into a fish restaurant again. The whole place already smells of stinky fish, and the supposed “sea side” sound waves makes matters worse. A combination of parmesan cheese and red snapper, plus spinach and mash potato everything in layered is a horrid combination.

When Forest Gump first aired during my secondary school days, my classmates love to say the famous phrase from that movie whenever we were stress due to the coming exams, “Life is like a box of chocolates.”

As an accountant, my sis would go “Show me the money!!!” Sounds familiar? It was from Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise (as seen in the left image).

These are the popular phrases that we most often borrow from films to use in our daily conversation. I don’t think there’s any reason why we use them. Somehow these phrases get the conversation started and eventually add in the laughter when you recall some funny scenes from the respective movies.

I know certain schools are starting their exams soon, especially our primary and secondary school kids. This reminds me of the thick Geography, History and Science textbooks that require memory work. There are a couple of times when I reached to that state whereby I can’t seem to take in information anymore! So I just chuck my books aside. Just want to share some tips that were passed on from my lecturer if you are having this problem. (Don’t know why back then my teachers are stingy in giving us these tips *shrugz*)

Read it aloud and record them (Girls may have advantage in this). Hey, I used to record what I had studied, since cassette player was still the in-thing back then. If you have any recording device, you could do so and listen to them during your journey to school, rather than listening to your MP3 player. Otherwise you’ll have a song stuck in your head while sitting for the exams.

Other than that, you could read your notes and type them into your computer, since writing can be tiring sometimes. Remember to turn off your TV, switch off the computer, radio, etc before you start to memorize. Believe me, you will retain more.

I could still recall our first major argument even after almost 5 years. If I were to ask him about that day, he would go, “I did say that??” -_- Be it arguments with family members, they still stay fresh in my mind.

So why is it ladies have the capability of remembering every word of an argument even after a few weeks? Blame it on the female hormone, oestrogen.

When we, ladies argue, there’s a higher rate of blood flow to certain parts of the brain as well as increase in oestrogen level. Hence, the unpleasant, stressful or frightening experience triggers oestrogen and activates a larger field of neurons to the brain.

Getting too popular is a chore… *flicks hair* just kidding.

Can’t be bothered to handle bored people, when they think that they are smart enough…but but but…it was a set up
