An insight into the little funny things i do everyday nowadays:

Every night, while i brush my teeth, i try to balance on one leg. You can't really floss well while standing on one leg, but gargling with Listerine is pretty fine while one-legged. This is somewhat part of a rehab process for my ankles, as they have been sprained pretty badly over the years. And each sprain makes the next one more probable, and more severe as well.

I read somewhere that this is due to some weak balance receptors in the body, thus while landing on 1 leg the body is cant balance and the ankle sprains as a result. My family has a history of some ear-liquid imbalance problem, and my dad often has dizzy spells due to this. So maybe i'm somewhat affected too. So far i feel that it's going pretty well, and my calfs/ankles feel trained after each brushing session. Sometimes i gargle longer just to make the legs go the distance. Doesnt hurt to have cleaner teeth and breath too.

For like the past 1 week, i've been using the grip/clenching exercise-thingy, where u just kiap the thing with ur palm as hard as u can and release. Yea that out-of-fashion exercise equipment. I couldnt remember when i bought tt thing, probably like JC perhaps, when i was totally into the "I must dominate Singapore basketball with my super strong palms". Either ways, i din really use it back then, and it was chucked into one of my drawers.

Now, whenever my hands are free, i just kiap 5 times on each hand. Like 2 seconds ago, while i'm thinking of what to type. Yea, i kiaped while watching Juno just now. Tt's like probably 50 reps right there. I kiaped while watching the NBA highlights everyday, tt's like another 50 reps. Within one day, i estimate abt 200 reps for each hand.

Why do i do something like tt? I figured tt while spending time watching something or thinking abt smthing or just pure stoning, i could give my hands some exercise. Keep the blood pumping, maintain the metabolism somewhat. Stronger hands doesnt hurt u, they hurt someone else, like people u dun like. Stronger hands could probably let u hold tt Cmaj7b5sus4b11aug13 chord abit longer, and could possibility give u more endurance while shredding. You could type faster and press the punch button longer in an arcade fight. It's all good u see. So why not? Makes the kiaping thing happy too. At least it's being used now. It has fulfilled it's metallic purpose.

My parents have a weird habit of filling up a pail with water and keeping it there for some higher purpose like baptism probably? But either ways, the water in the pail usually gets mixed with some form of soap when someone bathes and drips some in it, or some insects creep into the pail for some water bed action. Bottomline, the water isn't really clean, so i dun use it for bathing.

In an attempt to prevent Aedes and save some valuable water, everytime i pee, i dun flush. Cos it's like wasting 10 litres of "fresh water" to rinse off 200 ml of human waste. So i use the above-mentioned pail water to "flush" instead. I've tried a few times, and abt 5 scoops of pail water is all you need.

What you hope to achieve, is to "flush" until the water in the toilet bowl, turns from yellowy to a colour which u think u can live with it. And the wrong way to achieve that, is to pour the pail water right straight into the yellow puddle. The best way, i figured, is to slowly pour the pail water onto the sides of the toilet bowl, and let the pail water slowly flow into the middle puddle. The water in the toilet bowl will mix better and u achieve the final state faster. All it takes, really, is just 5 scoops, and some patience. And you can help conserve water alittle. ^^

That's all for the little tidbit on my sick, weird life.

Juno was a great film. I really like Ellen Page, both in the film and in person. Damn cute. And the guy, Michael Cera, has this complete geek feel. I seek myself in him. He's the geek in Superbad, he's the geek in Juno. I'm the geek in Jurong. See the link? Either ways, watch the movie for lotsa witty one-liners. It's a movie which u smile after watching, and u go home feeling good for a while. I watched it at home tho, so i was feeling good all the way.

Johnson gave me a "I need help" on MSN just now, while i was busy SWAT-ing. He was offline when i was done and i realise that, i can't be there for everyone all the time. Tho as much as we all have this Superman Syndrome in all of us, we can't do it all. So i decided to just let it slide, and just mind my own business. If he really needs urgent help, he can always call me.

It always feels good to chill for a while, and not be Superman for a day. I bet Clark Kent will give up his cape for an instant like this.

I've always tried to keep this blog non-political, but i wanna say that the Singapore Prison Break is one big fuck up for the authorities. And it comes at the convenient time where Singapore just won the Youth Olympics, and F1 is coming this year. So it's pretty much GG for the white pap-pys.

Either ways, we all have to focus on catching the mofo, and spend less time online bitching who's responsible. We can always do the bitching later when we catch the fella. But speaking from a ex-RP's perspective, it's close to impossible catching him. Cos all u need is an accomplice, and he can hide in his house forever, until the alert level goes down. There's no need to hide in some run down warehouse (tt's too suspicious), just a normal HDB will do. You never know who's helping him.

Anyways, good luck everyone. Good luck to all the new recruits in SAF cos the threatcon level has gone way up again. The last time was 911, now this, wooo. Good luck to all the guard duty personnels too, cos u really have to open your eyes now. That also means less slacking, and more real work. And you already know how shag it is to just stand in the sun with ur gun and stone.

I am just thankful i ORD-ed. Good luck and good night.
