Brainy Boobs/Bobby Brains

we all know how guys have 2 brains. one big one small. here's a revelation. my revelation actually.

brains are like boobs.

young boobs are flexible or malleable which ever you may. jus like a young brain. flexible and able to learn things at a snap of the fingers. as age progresses, the brain grows to a certain point. jus like boobs. brains have growth spurts. jus like boobs. and as time goes by, boobs either shrivel up or get augmented or both. either way, they get less flexible. so do brains.

not to forget, boobs are in evry1's brains. women's and both of men's brains. we are all fixated with boobs in some way or another.

thus brains are like boobs.

Kiddie TeeVee

im thinking of growing a goatee and moustache (or mustache as Firefox likes it better). i think i might look good with one. contemplated on leaving this morning's stubble while i was shaving before i decided it might be better if i left the idea till after i start on my new job. incidentally that would be the beginning of next wk.

i did notice a small bald patch in on my chin that did not seem to have any hair growing out of it. dunno how that will turn out if i do eventually decide to leave a goatee.

on to more important things, has any1 watched kids central recently? im amazed at how the channel has evolved. the variety of programmes they have for kids is really mind boggling. all i ever remember watching as a kid were the cartoons that run from 6pm to 7pm everyday on channel 5 equating to just 2 each day. and those 2 ran in serials which meant you watched Silverhawks and Mask everyday for maybe a few weeks before it changes to perhaps Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the next few weeks. kids really have got it lucky now. they have a whole bloody channel for them. of course i do wonder abt the need for an off-colour talking dino and a gay sponge as kiddie teevee fodder.

the topic of appropriate content brings me to the whole point of my post. i do think that some stuff shld not be shown on kiddie channels in order not to cultivate the wrong values and ideas in the minds of our country's young. an example would be the airing of kids doing the mambo, cha cha and other very suggestive dance routines.

was doing some channel surfing the other weekend morning when i happened to chance upon a particular segment on kids central that showcased the talents of children in the age range of 5-12. this would seem like a pretty harmless and seemingly innocent programme. after all, wat can a 5-12 yr old do?

not so as i learned. the pair of kids, roughly 9-10yrs of age, were in full (or rather, lacking) ballroom latin dance costume doing a one of their very well-rehearsed dance routines.

kids shldn't be able to move their hips that way~! ok, so they obviously can, but they shldn't be allowed to do it until they turn 80~! dun forget the costumes. my god, if i had a daughter or younger sister wearing that little clothing, ill probably force her into a nunnery and make her resign to a fate of celibacy.

buddhist nunnery. not christian or catholic cos being bald will ward off potential suitors as well.

unfortunately, not all share the same view as i do. J thought that the kids were cute in their outfits when i was ranting to her over the phone during the kids' routine. a colleague of mine thought it was alright and thought they were cute too when i told her abt it.

call me an old fashioned fart, but i dun think it is appropriate. dancing is fine. but not dances that involve the need to swivel and gyrate hips in a manner whose meaning is totally incomprehensible to beings that have not been taught abt the birds and the bees. they could learn the waltz or foxtrot or hop-scotch if they wanted to. that would be so much better.

give them their off-colour talking dino, gay sponge and supposedly satanic followers with tvs in their bellies. ill much rather they have that.

Little Balls of Colour

today i will propose something of great importance that i believe truly will be a great contribution towards the "Save the Earth" movement.

i propose that those little green/yellow/blue balls of disinfectants be put in every urinal of all male toilets/restrooms.

by doing so, they achieve a few things:
1. keeping the toilets urine odour free
2. they save water
3. they save electricity

first, keeping the toilets urine odour free is pretty straight forward. it's good for every1.

next, there are variations of those little balls. some are actually balls of microbes that clean the urinal thus eliminating the need to flush. and therefore, saves water.

now, this is where things get interesting. what i suggest next will, i believe, be one of the greatest ideas ever conceived in the move towards a greener planet and explains how those little balls can save both water and electricity at the same time. it is based on the premise that all men need to be occupied with something to be effective and efficient.

the same goes when they pee.

thus, if a ball of disinfectant is used in every urinal, all men would have something to aim at. and when placed in the correct area of the urinal i.e. the drainage area, things would flow the right way instead of being directed the wrong way due to some bloke with ADHD or bad eyesight.

at the same time, there will be a decreased usage of electricity in pubs/clubs bcos there would be no need for small little tv screens above the urinals that show nothing but flashing colours or gyrating women. guys would be concentrating on their balls and aiming the right direction instead of on the screens.

i know it seems like a ridiculous idea right now, but im sure in time to come, there will be others who agree with me and we will make the world a much cleaner and greater place to live in.

M&A - The Story of How M Met A

time for a celebratory post. a pair of my close frens, M and A, are tying the knot soon. so here's a shoutout of congrats to the both of them~!

how time flies really. M&A have been together for 6yrs already and these 6yrs have seen them go thru much as a couple. so now that they are going to exchange vows, it's great to see all the effort they have put in come to a much deserved official union.

of course im most happy abt the impending dinner. kidding.

incidentally, M&A = Mergers & Acquisitions in business/finance speak.

altho i believe this has been recounted several times. i remember the first time M laid his eyes on A. it was during one of the regular night outs with the guys. at the time, we were all serving our national service and often hung out at Wong San's during the weekends. so naturally, being young and virile specimens of the Singaporean male species, many girls caught our eyes. but when M saw A, he was more excited than usual. *ahem*

turns out A was a regular at Wong San's too. so obviously M would be more excited than his usual self each time we hung out there and often pointed her out to the rest of us. we did not know A's name then. to the rest of us she was known as "The Slash Girl" cos she was always wearing a toga-like top. thankfully she's moved on from that fashion phase. so M had become fixated with "The Slash Girl" so much so that each time she glanced or did not glance our way, M would exclaim excitedly,"She just looked at me" + "again" + "again". ahhhhh........the sweet smell of young love.

so one day, M finally plucked up the courage to talk to her. finally, after spending so much time talking to us ABOUT her, he finally talked TO her. wat relief. subsequently, she came over to talk to him as well. it was not long before he managed to get her number and then jio-ed her out. and from there led to a relationship which has seen its fair share of ups and downs. and that has in turn led them to where they are today, a fitting union with a new chapter in life together as an officially married couple.

that's the story of how M met A, so to the both of them, i say once again "Congrats~!" and ohyes, "Finally".

Ramblings

i know im supposed to post on day 3 in shanghai. but im really jus too lazy to do it. discipline has been thrown out the window lately and the other consequences of that include a seemingly growing hole in my wallet and what seems like the start of a pot-belly.

been thinking of signing up for a gym membership. so has J. we both agree we need to exercise more. now it is a matter of finding the willpower in keeping with a weekly regime and also the heart to part with hard-earned cash that would otherwise be put to other more gratifying uses e.g. buying myself a 27" monitor or going on a mad shopping spree to enhance my very small wardrobe.

and national day has passed. singapore is now 42 years of age. time sure flies. jus as a colleague had commented the other day, "funny how time flies when u r occupied with something. otherwise it just crawls." he used "occupied" cos he was referring to the work we had to do. otherwise im quite sure he would have used "fun" instead.

national day passed in a jiff. not very eventful tho. thankfully in a way. my stomach was in bad shape through most of the earlier wk, the holiday and the wkend just past. i believe the alcohol consumption over the past few days have upset it somewhat in addition to the fact i had mussels on national day for lunch. been chugging down bottles of yoghurt daily to try and mitigate the effects of the mussels, but being a little lactose intolerant means there is a "3 steps forward 2 steps back" effect.

and whaddaya know. yoghurt is spelt yogurt in firefox. i know one is american english the other is british english, but i dunno which is which.

national day also marks the birthday of my little doggy niece, twinkle. which we had celebrated the wkend earlier. my sis had flown back specially for the little tyke. a bbq was held at which my new doggy nephew, knut, decided to do some base jumping out of my dad's arms and onto his head. scared him shitless for all of 5mins before the birthday cake came out for twinkle.

i do detect a fair amount of resemblance btwn myself and the little devil. kindred spirits we must be. J refuses to believe me though despite my constant efforts to get her to see how similarly furry, cuddly and adorable i am. tho small i am not, i do not believe size is a factor here.

im sure evry1 else would believe me.
