April

It’s almost the end of March.
Let’s do something fun in April.

- No roti canai
No matter how much I love it, I can’t deny the fact that it’s oily and fattening.

- Maximum 4 cups of bubble teas and premium coffees such as Starbucks
I had 8 of them this month and most likely it will increase by 1 tomorrow.
Let’s halve the bad.

- Keep up my jogging routine (3 times a week)
Jogging is good for health, though my legs are sore most of the time.

Having said that, I was just informed that my abstract has been accepted by the organizing committee of the IIE Asian Conference 2012.
The good news is I get to present my paper at the conference in Singapore this June.
The bad news is I have a full paper to write and it’s due on May 1.
I will be fully tied up in April!

三从四德

何谓三从四德？

古时，三从为“未嫁从父、出嫁从夫、夫死从子“。四德乃“妇德、妇言、妇容、妇功”。

现在，三从四德有了几个新的定义。
1.
三从
从不温柔，从不体贴，从不讲理
四德
说不得，打不得，骂不得，惹不得

2.
三从
从不洗衣，从不做饭，从不拖地
四德
老婆化妆要等得，老婆花钱要舍得，老婆发脾气忍得，老婆生日要记得

3.
三从
太太出门要跟从，太太命令要服从，太太说错要盲从
四德
太太化妆要等得，太太生日要记得，太太打骂要忍得，太太花钱要舍得。

哈哈，时代大不同了！
男士們，加油！

Tough

Hitz.fm is my favorite radio station and its morning show hosted by JJ and Ian is like the best show ever.
There is this mysterious synergy between them that makes the show awesome.
These two guys always post tough questions to the listeners.
It’s fun to see what answers people give when they call in.

I remember there was once they asked, “Internet and your partner – if you can only have one, which one will you choose?”
I managed to hear the answers from two persons who called in.
Both of them picked Internet!

You know a lot of guys love watching football.
There was another time that they asked the female listeners if their partners love them more than football.
I think this was a really good question.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.
If the girl wanted to celebrate the occasion tonight, I wonder what the guy would do.
It’s Manchester United vs. Liverpool tonight!

It’s Thanksgiving!

Hooray! It’s Thanksgiving!
Everybody loves Thanksgiving and Black Friday that comes right after it, just like how everybody loves Raymond.

Here’s what I am going to do this Thanksgiving break.
I will leave for Minneapolis on Thursday and go straight to some plush restaurant.
I will then go to outlets at night and begin the annual crazy shopping spree.
Hopefully, I won’t spend more than 500 bucks.
I am kinda broke.
On Friday, I am pretty sure I need to catch some sleep in the daytime.
It will then be another round of fancy dining before I head home.
Kyoto Sushi is a must!

Great plan, isn’t it?

Oh wait, I forgot one thing.
I am not in the U.S.!

Embryo -> Imago

If you followed my blog a few years back, you would remember I once had a page called “From Embryo to Imago.”
I used this page to keep some of my pictures since high school to show how my physical appearance has changed over the years.
The name of the page is quite self-explanatory, right?

I thought I deleted this page because it was no longer shown on my blog, until somebody showed it to me on the cellphone.
Frankly, I was a bit shocked because I was pretty sure that the page was not on my blog anymore.
It seemed that the absence of the page was due to the default disablement of the page widget in my new blog’s theme, and that the mobile version of WordPress site simply shows everything.

So I dug out the page and enabled the page widget, and more importantly, I updated it!
Here you go!
