just did this quiz in fb, very accurate! scary!

Angela took the quiz Tarot Card Reading and the result is Four of Swords

Briefly: It is time to take a rest, have a break, maybe have a holiday or in some other way remove yourself from current pressures.

Full Meaning: You may be run-down, tired, and now it is time to be a little contemplative and to take it easy for awhile. The daily routine has become too demanding or even mundane and you need a change, any change will do. If you have been feeling unwell, it may be time to consult a doctor, a surgeon or even a dentist. Often it can indicate needing an injection, or cutting implements may be needed, as in surgery of some kind, or medications. This is a good time to start looking after yourself, and protecting yourself against such things as getting an infection or fever. Antibiotics may be needed or a tonic or some vitamins. Some people just need to get more sleep or rest.

i tot it was just some kind of random quiz, then when the result was out, i was shocked.. really..

with everything that's happening to me the past few months, this tarot card says everything..

reaching my limit..

body giving signal that it can't hold on any longer..

its time to take a break.. real break..

Chubby people live longest: Japan study

TOKYO (AFP) - - Health experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer.

People who are a little overweight at age 40 live six to seven years longer than very thin people, whose average life expectancy was shorter by some five years than that of obese people, the study found.

"We found skinny people run the highest risk," said Shinichi Kuriyama, an associate professor at Tohoku University's Graduate School of Medicine who worked on the long-term study of middle-aged and elderly people.

"We had expected thin people would show the shortest life expectancy but didn't expect the difference to be this large," he told AFP by telephone.

The study was conducted by a health ministry team led by Tohoku University professor Ichiro Tsuji and covered 50,000 people between the ages of 40 and 79 over 12 years in the northern Japanese prefecture of Miyagi.

"There had been an argument that thin people's lives are short because many of them are sick or smoke. But the difference was almost unchanged even when we eliminated these factors," Kuriyama said.

Main reasons for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened vulnerability to diseases such as pneumonia and the fragility of their blood vessels, he said.

But Kuriyama warned he was not recommending people eat as much as they want.

"It's better that thin people try to gain normal weight, but we doubt it's good for people of normal physique to put on more fat," he said.

The study divided people into four weight classes at age 40 according to their body mass index, or BMI, calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by their squared height in metres.

The normal range is 18.5 to 25, with thinness defined as under 18.5. A BMI of 25 to 30 was classed as slightly overweight and an index above 30 as obese.

so skinny people, stop being tweety birds!! Health is more important! Don't diet anymore~

'i love you' isn't enough to sustain a relationship..

when will humans understand that?

and so.. decision is made.. and its time for me to stick to what i have decided..

twins are cool~!

and i am proud to be one of them! xD

i just realised that my most happening time was in May, when my cousin was in Singapore..

damn! now my work life is taking over all my other lives!

argh!!!

i want to go holiday!

and so.. i went for dinner with mum last night.. and this was the conversation..

mum: there's a new rumor in our family..

me: oh? what is it about?

mum: you are getting married..

me: HUH???

mum: yea.. your granny just created a new rumor..

*me still in shock*

mum: your granny told the relatives that you are getting married and said i was the one who told her..

me: what the....? wahahahaha! so what did you say?

mum: and so.. i reached and told your granny that i didn't say that.. i didn't even go over to her place the week before!

me: and?

mum: she insisted that i did and i told her, "if my daughter is getting married, how come i didn't know?" *shakes head*

me: yea, i didn't know that i am getting married either! LOL! xD

lol.. what a cute granny i have..

sometimes, don't you feel that it's scary in this world?

the people that you know?

to realize that the person that you thought was okay was actually not okay?

that the person you always thought was a nice guy turns out to be an asshole?

or maybe he was an asshole since the start but you thought he wasn't that bad.. which in the end, you realized you were wrong, he is a pure breed asshole..

these days, i have seen a lot of people whom i thought was okay but actually weren't and i wonder..

am i getting bad in my judgment or has time changed them?

do they change cos of external factors or is such character inbuilt in them which they didn't know? this dark side of them which were not lured out till now?

i really do not know..

i just find it disgusting that such people actually exist..

what they say isn't what they do.. and what they do never match up with what they say to anyone..

they say things that aren't true, they do things that hurt people.. they build their happiness upon others' miseries..

why do they do that?

cos they do not know the proper way to being happy?

or are they just wimps who have no courage to be truthful to themselves and others?

(i personally think it's the latter.. and of cos, ego.. *rolleyes*)

change is the only constant and apparently, for some people, the change can never be good..

so now, its time to learn that some people are born bad..

no such thing as everyone is born good angela.. be smarter.

for those who has been reading my blog these days should have listened to this song on my playlist: Lenka - The Show..

the melody is catchy but what captures my attention is the lyrics, esp the chorus..

The Show
Lenka

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

Slow it down
Make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
'Cause it's too much
Yeah, it's a lot
To be something I'm not

I'm a fool
Out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot
In the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the sign
And synchronize in time
It's a joke
Nobody knows
They've got a ticket to that show
Yeah

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Just enjoy the show

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

dum de dum
dudum de dum

Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

i especially like the sentence: life is a maze and love is a riddle.. how true..

and we can't do it alone.. in life, there's many things that we do not and will not know until we try.. just like a maze, we need to try, to know if that's the correct way out.. the right way for us..

and love being described as a riddle? that's spot on! this love thing, is hard to decipher.. you just cant figure it out at times..or rather, u thought you had it figured out only to find out you are as lost as you were in the beginning..

and for all you know, you may be lost for life..

so the question is, is being lost good or bad for your case?

ok, i know i was supposed to blog about my cousin's trip to Singapore in early May but I didn't have the photos until now (he uploaded on fb).. so yup.. i can blog about it..

more photos rather than words i guess.. i am too lazy to write too much.. =X

basically, my cousin is a Canadian and he came to Singapore for holiday before he flies to Tokyo which is the main destination.. lol..

i remembered 4 years ago when he came, i only got to see him for 1 or 2 days and i flew to Australia for studies.. this time, its my sis who had to fly overseas for work while he was here.. like he had said, he never got a chance to enjoy his trip with BOTH of us (my sis n I).. lol..

i wasn't free on the 1st day and thus, my sis and mum accompanied him to walk around Singapore, Orchard Road to be exact and he loved it.. haha.. quite a shopaholic i guess..



and so.. the 2nd day, we went to PS and and Singapore Flyer.. where else did we go? oh! we went to the president's residence (whatever its called) and walked a darn long time to reach his actual house and a long way out too..









my cousin was complaining about the heat in Singapore.. oh well, he came here at the wrong time, Singapore is at her hottest during mid year from late march to perhaps late may.. haha.. even i cant stand the heat, more ever him, a guy who live in a country where winter can go down to -40 degree celcius!

on the 3rd day, i had prepared a wild night for him.. clubbing.. he told me the last time he came, he was wasted.. and he was determined not to repeat this time cos he didn't want to waste all the time with the pretty ladies like he did 4 years back! lol







but its hard, especially when my best friend is around.. there's never short of alcohol with her around! xD

we intended to go to DBL O as well but we got carried away at O Bar with all the booze and music and fun and well, everything!

one word, crazy! thats all i can say! =)

the next day (Sunday) was the day my sis flew to BKK for her work and with a mere 2-3 hours of zzz, i went to the airport to send her off and went for my sign language class with my brain still left at home..

after that, i KO and zzz till late.. until mum called and asked if i wanted to meet them at harbourfront (which of cos, i said i try and i KO again).. mum wasnt very happy about that but what can i do? i am old! x(

rented a car on monday and drove my cousin around Singapore (after dinner).. we went to Punggol End and Changi Village.. Went to east coast to look at the dark spots where couples love to go and make love.. haha.. but my cousin was really down on luck, the road was closed and so, nothing to see..

Changi Village was as usual, filled with trans waiting for business and my cousin actually tot they were girls! wouldnt it be fun if i let him get off the car?? but he refused upon hearing the truth.. wasted! =P

by the time we finished changi village, i was dead tired.. drove the rest home and KO again.. took off on Tuesday and brought my cousin to Sentosa since he mentioned he had never been to Sentosa after the first time he came 8 years ago!

thats bloody long ago! so many has changed!

and so, we went to Sentosa and walked along the beaches which he enjoyed cos in his hometown, he has to drive for at least an hour before he can reach a beach.. but even so, it may be too cold to enjoy.. sucks.





brought him to Cafe Del Mar and he was ecstatic! apparently, he prefers house and trance to RnB when clubbing cos the latter doesn't really get him to dance like the first two do.. oh well.. promised to bring him to club here the next time he comes.. if i still have the energy (i'm alr 26 this year!)..

and that night, we went to Chervons KTV and well, did alot of stupid but fun stuff, with loads of videos (on fb).. lol..




there's alot of photos uploaded by my cousin, but all on fb.. so u can view them on fb (if u have my fb).. :D

so yup.. that's about it.. for now.. lol

Personality Test
accurate to me.. =)

Your answers suggest you are an Innovator

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Summary of Innovators

• Energetic and creative taking inspiration from everyone they meet
• Enjoy flexible work environments with few rules and many opportunities for fun
• Think of themselves as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic
• May not think logically about their ideas

More about Innovators

Innovators are fun-loving, creative, sensitive people who enjoy developing their ideas by discussing them with others. This group supports the people around them and expects the same in return. Others are drawn to Innovators because of their love of life, caring nature and openness.

Innovators are most likely to say they do their best work when they start at the last minute, according to a UK survey.

Innovators are good at spotting opportunities and recognizing potential in people. Innovators put all their energy into new projects and their enthusiasm motivates others to support their plans.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Innovators may become rebellious and unfocused. Under extreme stress, Innovators may become preoccupied with meaningless details.

Innovators may over-extend themselves or put a night out with friends ahead of more pressing commitments.

Innovator Careers

Innovators are drawn to careers that require teaching or counselling, where they can work with and help encourage the development of others.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

did a test about my blood type on fb and:

Your blood type is O and it explain that you are ...

Basic behavior :

Cannot stand people who hide the truth
Make objectives clear

its very true.. ALL true. i am impressed.

found this on you tube:



it was titled "Bolivia Bug" and that got me curious, so I went to Wiki it and found that it was a bug, a larva actually of a moth which I find it disgusting:

Credits to Wikipedia

Megalopyge opercularis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Megalopyge opercularis
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Lepidoptera Family: Megalopygidae Genus: Megalopyge Species: M. opercularis
Binomial name
Megalopyge opercularis (JE Smith, 1797)

The moth Megalopyge opercularis has numerous common names, including southern flannel moth, pussy moth, puss caterpillar, and, asp caterpillar. It is visually striking in both larval and adult forms. The inch-long larva is generously coated in long, luxuriant hair-like setae, making it resemble a tiny Persian cat, the characteristic that presumably gave it the name "puss." It is variable in color, from downy grayish-white to golden-brown to dark charcoal gray. It often has a streak of bright orange running longitudinally. The 'fur' on early-stage larvae is sometimes extremely curly, giving the larva a cottony, puffed-up look. The body tapers to a tail that extends well beyond the body, unlike its relative M. crispata (Wagner 2005). The middle instar has a more dishevelled, 'bad-hair-day' appearance, without a distinctive tail.

Caterpillar

The adult moth is also very bizarre in appearance, covered in long fur in colors ranging from dull orange to lemon yellow, with hairy legs and fuzzy black feet. Ironically, the resemblance of the larvae to soft, colorful cotton balls encourages people to pick them up and pet them.

The 'fur' of the larva contains venomous spines that cause extremely painful reactions in human skin upon contact. The reactions are sometimes localized to the affected area but are often very severe, radiating up a limb and causing burning, swelling, nausea, headache, abdominal distress, rashes, blisters, and sometimes chest pain, numbness, or difficulty breathing (Eagleman 2008). Additionally, it is not unusual to find sweating from the welts or hives at the site of the sting.

M. opercularis can be found on oaks, elms, citrus and other trees, and many garden plants such as roses and ivy. It is distributed throughout the southern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. The larva does not spin a real cocoon, rather, it separates from its furry skin and uses it as a protective covering while it pupate

so anything cute and pretty is actually dangerous.. be careful, don judge by the cover..

i was having my sunday sign language class when i saw this..

very interesting..



know what this is?


it is a banana guard! lol



and i mean, the real banana, the FRUIT. lol.

this is to put banana and prevent it from being squashed in the bag..

isn't it amazing??

lol

i should get one cos i love bananas (whichever kind u can think of) =P


and oh, i was told that that you shouldn't jog before you have sex and definitely, don't be LAZY and try to flip over to change position (from one side of ur partner to the other side in bed) cos..

you will get cramps for the former and you will sprain your waist from the latter..

tested and proven (not by me of cos!)!!

and oh, the cramps apparently can create a new sex position when one leg is straightened while the other is still bended..

this applies only for guys (for the above position).. =P

side note: i tried searching karmasutra and see if there's such a position but i gave up halfway, there's too many for me to search! x(

是別人不夠了解你, 還是你不夠了解你自己?

是你不想理睬別人, 還是別人不想理睬你?

你知道的是真實, 還是這都是你自己編出來的謊言呢?

---------------------------------
sometimes, when you don't ask questions,
it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie into your face.
its because you're afraid they will tell you the truth.
---------------------------------

how true..

not all people can handle the truth..

some people prefers staying in their own world of denial and if you burst that bubble of theirs, you are the sinner and they will hate you for it..

after all, they have been protected for so long by their friends and family..

who are you to slap them into the harsh reality?

that what they see isn't the truth? or rather, what they had assumed for so long was a false front?

and so you wonder, as a true friend, should you tell the truth even if it hurts or should you protect and paint a false picture to them?

which is the way of a real true friend who cares?

former or latter?

your choice to choose and theirs to accept or reject.

had an interesting conversation earlier due to what i wrote on my msn sub nick

it wrote:

How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.

and a friend replied to that..

XXX says (2:14 PM):
maybe attitudes r the exact opposites of the thinking of the mind
Me says (2:18 PM):
it may.. but subconsciously, it shows. it always do.
XXX says (2:19 PM):
but nowadays ppl r crafty.. they dun show wat they do or how they express themselves if they think likewise
Me says (2:20 PM):
haha
Me says (2:22 PM):
i think its a competition between the ability to perceive one's true intention and to hide own's real feelings
XXX says (2:24 PM):
i think its the situation and people ard u. im sure if u think back when u r in oz studying, u can do things n speak more freely, the culture is so diff. here we hide things, get confused and sometimes will try to dig back the same feeling lost in ourselves..
XXX says (2:25 PM):
we cant express ourselves. we feel sad and regretful. but the days just pass. another new feeling arrived, we'll still be finding back that same feeling we lost.
XXX says (2:27 PM):
then psychopaths are borned, this rape that, control freaks, emo freaks, do all sorts of strange things to get back to ppl, this is just so weird n twisted. -censored for privacy-
Me says (2:32 PM):
i think that is very impt for everyone to have an outlet where they can vent their frustration.. its not good to stomach all in.. people didn't learn or rather, is ignorant about their own feelings n in turn, become all the above u have mentioned..
XXX says (2:34 PM):
hmm but if we dun have frustration and anger to start with it will be good right? we dun need to seek outlets anymore just more time pursuing happiness
Me says (2:36 PM):
but thats impossible.. its programmed when humans are created.. welcome to RL.. lol

there's a point there.. as the world evolves, more n more weird human beings are created.. with the lack of knowledge of where to let out their emotions, they turn psycho.. *shrugs*

maybe we are all capable of being such .. but we are controlling it.. trying not to lose it..

or maybe, those people are happier than we are.. who knows?



well.. it was just a random conversation, interesting but random..

i like random stuff & adores it when its interesting AND random.. haha
