Attended the animal care course today. Rats are easier to handle as compared to mice. At least rats don't bite.

Chubby people live longest: Japan study

I was reading the online news this afternoon when I came across this article. The Japanese apparently did some study on how a person's weight can affect their livespan.

From the article itself: "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."

Woohooo.. Does that mean I can eat more now?

In control?

Humans would always want to be in control of the things they do and being part of these species does not exclude me from this trait.

When faced with people with charisma or beauty or humor or ideal body, people can just lost control. They would always try to grasp at something they can attain. I guess I'm just human for wanting that.

Boffin

I learnt a new word today (Points to the word in the title). Somehow I don't know if I should feel insulted or flattered should someone calls me this.

From
wikipedia.org:
In the slang of the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, boffins are scientists, engineers, and other people who are stereotypically seen as engaged in technical or scientific research. Also, a boffin is a particularly clever person. 'Boffin' is an insult used by British teenagers. American equivalent is "Egghead".

This is just a post derived from my random thought process, if you do not like to read such entries please move on. Thanks...

After reading someone's blog, I sorta agree with that person to a certain extent.(So GP essay rite) Sometimes, meeting up with friends become such as chore because the other parties are super busy or that people cancel last minute or they just cannot commit their time to the outing. Sigh... Somehow, you will seem like the super free one or desperate one cos others are so busy yet you're so free to organise the outing and go for it. I admit that there are times when people can be really busy as I have that experience before. But it's tiring to be the organiser and having to coordinate the timing etc.

A belated apology and sorry in advance if I've been in the role of the other party that keeps running out of the appointment. I'll be more understanding in the future and attend my outings.

Models and Celebs

I was just surfing through the internet when I stumble upon this:

Oh my goodness! Emma Watson for Burberry Fall 2009. I didn't really expect it. (In case people don't know, Emma's the actress playing Hermione in the Harry Potter movies.) She looks fantastic though somehow I still feel like it lacks something. I always prefer having models fronting campaigns because they got this out of this world look that mesmerize me although I have to say that Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga S/S 2008 was a huge exception as she kicked ass in that campaign.


And of course talking about models fronting campagins, my all time favourite is Sasha Pivovarova for Prada. Her past Prada campaigns are so lovely that I practically want every bag she's carrying.


In my opinion, Sasha Pivovarova is the best in Prada's S/S 2008 campaign. Love her to bits.

A Realisation

This post is in relation to the discovery I've made on this one person.

Well, it started out as something I did to pacify someone. But somehow, I made a startling realisation.

I never knew you felt that way about the things in life and the many many restrictions you face on almost daily basis. I somehow managed to understand you more and I feel somewhat guilty about the petty views I've made regarding your personality. I will never understand your character and you'll probably never understand mine as we've different views regarding our place in the social spectrum. However, this discovery has allowed me a glimpse into a life that I will not have. I'm happy with what I'm given and glad that I'm molded like that. It's still an insightful view that really leaves lots of food for thought...

P.S. Simin, I've finally updated k. I'll try to update more often. Did I mention that I simply adore my juniors.
