Beer Contains Female Hormones

Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer.The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women.To test the finding, 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.

No further testing is planned.

Men, unlike women are no great mystery

History as told by Brendan

2004-08-30T19:08:00.000-07:00

Did you know that Hitler was born with only one testicle?

Actually before the start of world war 2, the leaders from the allies and axis met to discuss peace treaties. It was all going fine until one American general was talking about Hitlers dad. It was not anything insulting but what really ticked Hitler off was that when the conversation topic turned to Hitler, they were singing "He is half the man he used to be..."

Right after the round of speeches, they met for a cocktail reception. Hitler said he needed to go to the gents. He went and locked himself in a stall so move his bowels. Then he heard the British general (who was in the other stall) shout out to the Russian dictator (who was in the other other stall), "I betcha Hitler doesnt have the ballS to attack us!"

And the rest is History.....

Meet my Friends: Sakib aka "Blackem"

2004-08-30T19:02:00.000-07:00

Hes Muslim and from Bangladesh! (Did you know that Bangladesh is the most corrupt country in the world?)

Hes nice and funny most of all.... Hes always going on about H.U.P (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, for all those of you who are not well versed in sciences). Lol.....every single thing you ask him he will say its hup.... even in wrong contexts. Hes part of Ferris's gang.

I wish he would stop poking fun at me and that girl, Wonus. Lol..... can you believe it... he goes up to her (because he takes the same mrt time as her) and tells her I like her! God knows what else he crapped about......ahahaha.....well I hoped he cleared it up....

He just met with a motorcycle accident (Yes.....he was racing akin to Too Fast Too Furious) He was going at about 180km/h on a motorcycle! I think some rock clipped his rear wheel and he lost control and crashed. Fortunately he only sustained minor back injuries and a fractured disk... (Poor thing...T_T) But now he cant do P.E for like 4 months....(Lucky Bum!)

Anyways, All the best for your terms Suckit, I know you will do well ^_^.

"Sakib: Hey! This ice cream tastes really good!

Sakib: WTF!
Me: Lol.....

Meet my Friends: Ian aka "Moby Dick"

2004-08-25T06:42:00.000-07:00

Ahahahaha.... actually he isnt gay, but somehow or other he has "convinced" some girls in my class that he is! ^_^

So hes lame at times but quite funny! A true comedian whom is the comedy himself!

Hes good at fencing (yeah aint that sooooo cool?), hes trying to be good at tennis too. His studies are ok and everything else about him is quite average, but hes a fantastic guy to be with! Its one of those people whom you feel comfortable being with, I'm sure you know what I am talking about right? Yeahz...

He hangs out with Ferris, Sakib and me. One of the reasons why I just love going to school ^_^

This is one really sweet guy for you girls who prefer that...um....that.....metro sort ^^

Why Moby Dick? Well......um...let me post..um..I will just tell you what he says.

"You think thats my leg? I lost it in a car accident!"

Haute Couture: Thats determination!

2004-08-24T05:32:00.000-07:00

Rabelais' Gargantua demanded his son Pantagruel the following toil:

" I intend and insist that you learn all languages perfectly; first of all Greek, in Quintilian's method; then Latin. then Hebrew, then Arabic and Chaldee. I wish you to form your style of Greek on the model of Plato, and of Latin on that of Cicero. Let there be no history you have not at your fingers' ends, and study thoroughly cosmography and geography. Of liberal arts, such as geometry, mathematics, and music, I gave you a taste when not above five years old, and I would have you now master them fully. Study astronomy, but not divination and judicial astrology, which I consider mere vanities. As for civil law, I would have thee know the digests by heart. You should also have a perfect knowledge of the works of Nature, so that there is no sea, river, or smallest stream, which you do not know for what fish it is noted, whence it proceeds, and whether it directs its course; all fowls of the air, all shrubs and trees whether forest or orchard, all herbs and flowers, all metals and stones, should be mastered by you. Fail not at the same time most carefully to peruse the Talmudists and Cabalists, and be sure by frequent anatomies to gain a perfect knowledge of that other world called the microsm, which is man. Master these in your young days, and let nothing be superficial; as you grow into manhood you must learn chivalry, warfare, and field manoeuvres."

As we all can see, the path of success has been the same through the epochs, it is hard work and passion.

Never do something with the mind set that you are forced to do so. If so, then dont do it.

Meet my Friends: Ferris aka "The Good Bastard"

2004-08-24T05:21:00.000-07:00

My class mate! And the tallest one too! Ferris is one of the reasons why I dont kill myself over going to school (or to class for that matter). Along with his gang, they brighten up every school day.

Hes tall, yan dao(flattered?), bowls like a pro, plays snooker like a pro, flies airplanes (well going to soon), plays com games, suave, witty, charming and SUPER intelligent. One reason why I like him is because he skips lessons with me and in the end? He still gets all the As ^^ Now thats living!

He has the same view about my class as me ^^ Good thing too..... Now for all you girls out there, you probably will never come across a man with as much standard as this guy (Yes I am advertising for him, ahahahaha....dont kill me Ferris!) And hes single! *hint**hint* Alright...now hes gonna murder me in school.... but who cares.... nothing wrong with telling the truth right?

Anyway, hes selling Ralph Lauren Polo Tees, so if any of you want some, give him a call kaes?

Yeahz, see yaz.

Meet my Friends: Wai Yin "Carnivorous Muchacho"

2004-08-24T05:01:00.000-07:00

Now this one is truly a rare meeting, rarer than any purple sky.

Lets start off with a little history of myself ^^, I have a very wierd diet, I never go near vegetables, most seafood and I am generally very picky about stuff. I feel perfectly fine taking only meat and fruits for a meal and would gladly pick out every single tow gae in my char kway teow if the vendor is horrible enough to say no when I ask for no veges. I remember in sec 2 my mother told me I would never find another person in this world who eats like me.

Well. I did. And here she is.

Shes a nice person, quiet, unassuming, always ready with a laugh or a smile. Now why Muchacho? Thats because she has a small moustache! Yes, picture this, a really beautiful girl with a small moustache, now aint that a keeper? ^_^

However..... life sometimes deals you the duces as well... Shes not really spontaneous (something which i look out for every person I meet) and I find the friendship very very one sided. She never smses, not even to wish me good luck during my mid year. But one day, she came to me to give me a fantastic hand made birthday card and talked to me. So I decided to give it one more shot. Just before her prelims I got for her an encouragement card and some chocolate (her fav of course ^_^) And I asked her to sms me when she was done. I am still waiting now. And this is it, if I dont get one then this relationship I will reluctantly leave behind. Being the sucker for others that I am, I usually wont mind but its time I grew up (sadly) and not to squander my time on others who do not really care.

You know its not the big things you do for a person, its the small ones. You can never understand how much a simple bouquet of flowers on a monday morning can light up a persons day, or that phone call out of the blue, or that outing on a weekend for a meal. Its not the fancy presents you get on your birthday or other special days of the year. Remember, its the small things which lets someone else know you truly care.

As you can probably guess from this long post I am quite saddened over the state of affairs.... But then again, its time to move on.

Its just hard to leave something so unique behind.

Meet my Friends: Seet Ee aka "Miranda"

2004-08-24T04:53:00.000-07:00

My og mate! What else can I say? ^_^ Ahahaha..... shes the only one i really kept in contact with. We still write letters to each other every 4 days to see how each of us is doing.

Shes attached now to this jc2 guy whos kinda like a philosopher (well....not nearly there yet but a serious teenager nonetheless). Shes average height and if she were to lose weight I promise that she will truly be a beautiful sight to behold. She plays the piano (somewhat reluctantly though...T_T) and just slacks around the place.

I am still waiting to go out with her, ahahaa waiting for her mail to confirm when we are meeting again.

Another one of God's blessings. ^_^

Oh and why Miranda? Thats the name she gave herself ^^

Meet my Friends: Tanushree aka "The Mortal"

2004-08-23T22:20:00.000-07:00

It was in Sajc that I met her during the first three months thingy, it was a strange meeting, i was talking to her friends when they introduced me to her.

Shes smart and shes indian too ^_^ (ok im not indian but i am part indian) I guess I grew fond of her quite a bit because she was different, yeah different, not wierd like me and she could emphathize. Not only that, shes a good debator and i always respect girls who can talk and argue logically (although she always lets me deliver the parthian shot ^_^)

The best thing about it all was that she kept saying that I am her angel! ^_^ Ahahahaha...now thats a refreshing take on things. Apparently because she was depressed or something and I was the one who taught her how to smile! (So you see, a little bit of insanity does spread happiness >.<) I always hope that i can be there for her, have to do my job....hehe.... Anyways, shes nice and caring and even though I feel sad at times and feel like i dont need anybody, I know that she will be there, waiting to offer her shoulder.

Even angels can be blessed with fantastic mortals. And heres a case study.

Meet my friends: Yao Yao aka "The Gorrila"

2004-08-22T00:45:00.000-07:00

Met her in my cca :Mechatronics!

When I think about her, the word L337 comes to mind. Shes average height, nicely built, decent looking, chinese. Shes one of the last 5 girls in JC2 taking f maths, plays com games, does puzzles, win HOTD2 with ONE credit, matured, funny and accomodating and the perfect mix of guy and girl ^_^

I really couldnt believe my ears when i heard her wanting to play cs... i mean.... how many girls do you know that plays cs or COOL com games for that matter!

The wierdest thing is that she got 68% male on a gender test while i got 88% female! Hmmm... Well now shes having her prelims, i hope that she does well. I am waiting for it to be over so i can challenge her to disciples 2! ^_^

Heh heh....Yaoi yaoi.... I am coming for you....

Meet my friends: Christopher Chak aka "Chaky"

2004-08-22T00:33:00.000-07:00

My bestest bestest friend in the whole wide world!

Met him in primary four, started my career of mayhem and destruction with him ^_^

Ah...the good ol' days eh..... The magnesium, making teachers go mad, the bus wars, swearing with no regard for anything....etc ^_^ Hes my great cs partner too! (You should go ask him how it is like)

What is he like? Sweet, charming, smart, philosopher (able to bullshit), easy to talk too, easy going (super lazy) can cook and stuff like that. Hes come up with two papers of me! (one on anti luck and the other on stupidity radiation). Hes special because only he has seen me for most of my life and knows how wierd I can be and the stuff i can do! (as he puts it, you have to see it to believe it). Not only that, hes the person who plays monopoly with me most! (and loses everytime because of my anti luck, you gotta ask him the freaky stuff that happens) By the way, I havent been beaten at monopoly yet even though i play with every person that happens along, so if your pro, give me a call kaes? ^_^

Now hes studying in Jc and yeahz..... I have been soooooooooooooooo blessed to have him as a friend. At least he understands when I am moody, right chak? Ahahaha....

Dont know what else to put...but.... good luck in your exams!

Haute Couture: Rioters

2004-08-19T05:06:00.000-07:00

'Our Soverign Lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to thier lawful business, upon the pains contained in the Act made in the first year of King George the First for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God Save the King.'

Under the Riot Act 1714, once a magistrate had read this passage within the hearing of a crowd greater than twelve, the 'rioters' had one hour to disperse before their presence ceased to be a misdemeanour and became a felony, ultimately punishable by death. The wording had to be read exactly as written, since at least one conviction was overturned because 'God Save the King' had been left out. The Riot Act was repealed in 1973.

La Gastronomique: Zabaglione

2004-08-18T17:20:00.000-07:00

A light egg dessert reminiscent of a whipped English custard. Perfect for taking with cookies, bread and butter pudding or taken plain.

-6 egg yolks
-90 g caster sugar (superfine sugar)
-6 tablespoons of your choice of liqueur (I prefer rum, try to use one with a full body, fruity flavours, not something like vodka)

1) Whisk egg yolks until pale yellow.

2) Add in caster sugar and liqueur and continue to whisk for a short while.

3) Place over a bain marie and continue to whisk. Ensure that the water does not boil, or it will become scrambled eggs! Whisk until the egg forms soft peaks. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl constantly. The cooking process should take between 5-10 minutes.

4) Serve warm or leave to stand until cool then serve chilled. Spoon over cookies, strawberries, etc..

Salute! Buon appetito!

Haute Couture: The Demon's Dictionary

2004-08-17T03:31:00.000-07:00

Ambrose Bierce (1842-c.1914) was a remarkable man: a veteran of the American Civil War, a writer, poet, journalist, and most memorably, the creator of the The Demon's Dictionary. For an audience: enlightened souls who prefer dry wine to sweet, sense to sentiment, wit to humour, and clean English to slang. Here are some of the more pungent entries:

Achievement: The death of endeavour and the birth of disgust.

Actually: Perhaps; possibly.

Adore: To venerate expectantly.

Auctioneer: A man who proclaims with a hammer that he has picked a pocket with his tongue.

Bore: A person who talks when you wish him to listen.

Court fool: The plaintiff

Coward: One who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.

Dentist: A prestidigitator who putting metal into your mouth, pulls coins out of your pocket.

Envelope: The coffin of a document; the scabbard of a bill; the husk of remittance; the bedgown of a love-letter.

Erudition: Dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull.

Forefinger: The finger commonly used in pointing out two malefactors.

Ghost: The outward and visible sign of an inward fear.

Hope: Desire and expectation rolled into one.

Hospitality: The virtue which induces us to feed and lodge certain persons who are not in need of food and lodging.

Influence: In politics, a visionary quo given in exchange for a substantial quid.

Insurrection: An unsuccessful revolution. Disaffection's failure to substitute misrule for bad government.

Language: The music with which we charm the serpents guarding another's treasure.

Mausoleum: The final and funniest folly of the rich.

Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.

Pray: To ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.

Price: Value, plus a reasonable sum for the wear and tear of conscience in demanding it.

Riot: A popular entertainment given to the military by innocent bystanders.

Twice: Once too often.

Zeal: A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced.

Just whining ^_^ Hey... everyone needs an outlet...

2004-08-17T03:05:00.000-07:00

Hai... i just dont know what to do..... Today my class had a discussion on whether torture was ever justifiable... I had a very very long presentation....around 3 full pages of transparencies compard to the others half. Ahahaha..... I was trying to introduce to them the debating technique of using definitions to aid your stand, i used how justified can be defined, case studies and all......

The teacher was so interested...the students... well... some of my friends were paying close attention but the rest were just vegetating away.... And they still had the audacity to say "So why arent you answering the question" and "Your point is?" Omg..... I was giving them the answer on a silver platter yet none could see it.... Stoopid girl and guy...i shant name... Its Junior college! Its called tertiary education! When will they stop expecting to be spoon fed! Not only did i give them a full argument, i gave them the generic backing for other similar topics.... Oh well....

Must as well gripe about society since i am in the mood... you know...i am still waiting for a girl to come up to me, i mean as friends, curtsy, eat with some dignity...or even a guy who has proper table manners. Its absolutely horrible! I am placing bets that few know what it means to eat American style or British style.... your economic standing is no excuse for this form of ignorance, i mean...i am only in a middle class family.... Even if i do not ask so much...when will i see someone who eats without his arms so spread out, or without noise when drinking soup or cutting meat..... Singapore....My home.....We just need to learn a bit more about culture....Hypocracy? Do i hear sour grapes? Its called having some decency.

Well..... looking forward to a fun week! ^_^

2004-08-16T05:05:00.000-07:00

What do you know! The new week is here! Full of renewed energy and raring to go!!

On wednesday i have a chinese test, auditions for emcee for teachers day and a trip to tekong! On friday i have got a barbecue to attend to, guess whos cooking? ^_^ Hehe.....

The week started off pretty fine, just getting some backlog work done and doing up my pw (EE ^_^ aint that the bomb...). Kinda pooped after the long day....

Time to pray for the seventh month thingy, well not me...but my family! Ahahahaha.....

Poor J2s have got their prelims now...ahaha.... well my turn will be coming soon.

All rightz, its time for me to go to bed. Nine thirty already!

Adieu!

La Gastronomique: Chicken marinades for barbecue.

2004-08-16T04:59:00.000-07:00

Ok....heres a simple marinade for barbecue. Make sure you leave the chicken to stand for 2 hours or so.

For a more mediter. flavour:
-olive oil
-garlic (around 1 whole clove)
-chopped fresh herbs (oregano, thyme...etc, if you are unsure of the kinds of herbs, use the italian herb mix available at any store)
-salt and pepper to taste.

For a more spicy flavour:
-olive oil
-garlic (around 1 whole clove)
-chopped rosemary
-ground chilli (as much as you want)
-salt and pepper to taste.

Or you could use the chilli and take out the seeds for a tinge of chilli flavour instead of full spice.

Remember for more flavour, strew the coals (when they are all grey or glowing) with woody herbs such as rosemary sprigs or fennel stems.

Adieu!

Why do i feel like this.....

2004-08-15T00:31:00.000-07:00

I am just sitting in my room, listening to Kim Lian's "Big girl" Cd track...(Aint she just the right mix of sweetness and punk? *sigh*) For some reason or other i feel so hopeless, sure...I do blame it on my feminine side but since its a part of me...what can I do.... I just feel like i need someone right now... But i have noone to turn to because i have little friends, actually less than a handful whom I actually call friends (Yeah...this comes from being wierd)

I need someone to hug....but there is just my little cosy green room.... so i have no choice but to cuddle my little teddy (Whose name is Celi by the way ^^) The softness does offer some temporary respite....but its cold. Unfeeling. Cold.

But this is the way life is.... and how it will be for some time to come. I just wish my feminine side would stop surfacing.... it feels....wierd. But i do relish that emotion from time to time.

Looking forward to an afternoon of work, project work and mugging for physics. Allow me to make myself a baileys. Suddenly....it seems much brighter! It fades. I need noone. I have myself and my God ^^

Adieu!

La Gastronomique: Tiramisu

2004-08-15T00:17:00.000-07:00

A favourite Italian dessert which is found in many regions. Here it is flavoured with coffee and Amaretto, but you could also use Marsala and Maraschino.

Serves 4-6

-20-24 sponge fingers, about 150g
-2 tbsp cold black coffee
-2 tbsp coffee flavouring (extract)
-2 tbsp Amaretto or brandy
-4 egg yolks
-90 g caster sugar
-few drops vanilla flavouring (extract)
-grated rind of 1/2 lemon
-350 g Mascarpone cheese
-2 tsp lemon juice
-250 ml double (heavy) cream
-1 tbsp milk
-30 g flaked (slivered) almonds, lightly toasted
-2 tbsp cpcpa powder
-1 tbsp icing sugar

1)Arrange almost half of the sponge fingers in the base of a glass bowl or serving dish. Combine the black coffee, coffee flavouring and Amaretto or brandy and sprinkle over half the mixture over the fingers.

2)Put the egg yolks into a heatproof bowl with the sugar, vanilla flavouring and lemon rind. Stand over a saucepan of gently simmering water and whisk until very thick and creamy and the whisk leaves a very heavy trail when lifted from the bowl.

3)Put the Mascarpone into a bowl, add the lemon juice and beat until the mixture is smooth.

4)Combine the egg mixture and Mascarpone mixture until evenly blended, then pour half over the sponge fingers and spread out evenly.

5)Add another layer of sponge fingers, sprinkle with the remaining coffee mixture and then cover with the remaining cheese mixture. Chill for at least 2 hours and preferably overnight.

6)To serve, whip the cream and milk together until fairly stiff and spread or pipe over the dessert. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and then sift an even layer of cocoa powder over so the top is completely covered. Finally sift a very light layer of icing suger over the cocoa powder.

Salute! Buon appetito!

2004-08-14T19:08:00.000-07:00

King Edward VII introduced the custom of setting the 180 or so clocks on the Sandringham Estate half an hour early to allow him more time to shoot. As a consequence, all business when the King was at Sandringham took place in this unique royal time zone. George V maintained this tradition, but Edward VIII, when he acceded to the throne in 1936, reset Sandringham's time pieces in synchronicity with the rest of his kingdom.

Aqua Vitae: Mocha Frap

2004-08-14T09:26:00.000-07:00

I got down to thinking, its such a waste to spend six dollars on a grande size mocha frap at starbucks! Its an absolute rip off! So anyway, here is a recipe for one.

Take a blender, add in

-2 heaped tablespoons full of milo
-1 heaped table spoon of cadbury hot chocolate powder
-1/2 tablespoon Boncafe Mocca Coffee powder
-1 near full cup of hl milk or any full cream or skim milk, your preference.
-1/2 tablespoon condense milk (you can adjust as you try)
-12-14 cubes of ice (Remember to wash the ice cubes first to remove any fishy, meaty smell that the ice takes on from storage in your fridge)

Blend until smooth, taste, and adjust taste as required.

Enjoy this simple drink! ^^

Five Reasons why girls are better than guys

2004-08-13T22:54:00.000-07:00

1) Unlike guys, they dont always talk about cars or soccer or trade ns stories! I mean... who on earth cares about cars if you cant afford them!!! Or soccer if you are not playing, unless of course you are betting heavily, then thats a different story.... And ns stories.....What in blue blazez!?!?!??!

2) Girls are definitely much nicer people to be with, ok...maybe thats a generalisation... on the same level of niceness (if there even is such a word) girls are much nicer. Why? Because they are able to pick up small signs of how you are feeling and will most probably know the right thing to say next. Of course it comes from them being hard wired as mothers but hey...just like testosterone for guys, its an advantage.

3) Girls can see effectively 180 degrees, well at least some. Definitely more than guys who only have tunnel vision. This is once again due to the fact that girls are nest defenders and thus have more visual cones in their eyes. But its still so cool! Thats why guys get caught all the time when they are ogling (did i spell that right?) at girls!

4) Girls arent always so (mind my crude term) horny as guys are! You know it gets Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo irritating when you are talking to a guy and all he is doing is looking in the other direction because of a pretty girl or something. Even if hes looking at you, he will go like :Uh huh.... Then try to steal a glance at the girl. Grrrrr......

5) Girls are so much better at humanities than guys, they can appreciate good songs and poetry. Rare is the man who can finish this poem that begins with : Whats in a name ^^

Five Reasons why guys are better than girls

2004-08-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

1) Guys are usually more of the sporty type, you want a game of rugby, tennis? No problem, of course its due to the testosterone and all but hey.... Its still an advantage.

2) Guys dont always talk about shopping or the latest mascara and definitely dont gossip as much ^_^

3) Guys do not whine or cry as much, not that crying is a bad thing but going on and on about something and living in the past is one of the girl trademarks.

4) Guys use current evidence to argue and never bring up personal attacks unlike girls who bring up that you are stupid or gay or what you did last week that has absolutely nothing to do with the argument at hand and they always find a way to bring up something personal.

5) Guys, unlike girls, are able to appreciate lame jokes. For some reason or other, either girls are slow or they have no sense of a warped humour whatsoever.
