This is Hilarious, and the so-called motto at the end of the article
is definitely worth a thought or two… though it’s absolutely wrong.
LOL
=========================================
A little something to keep in mind for Christmas.
You’ve probably all seen this before, but it’s time for a reminder …..
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they’re serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it’s rare. In fact, it’s even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can’t find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It’s not as if you’re going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It’s a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It’s later than you think. It’s Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That’s the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy . Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they’re made with skim milk or whole milk. If it’s skim, pass. Why bother? It’s like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people’s food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6 Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year’s. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you’ll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don’t budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They’re like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you’re never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don’t like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it’s loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don’t feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven’t been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Remember this motto to live by:
“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO what a ride!”

People always forget about what they have said.
Good that you no longer care much about them,
or you would be once again being driven crazy by disappointment.

So here are 5 inventions by Dr Hryhory Chausovsky, a well-known Ukrainian scientist, that help you keep your New Year’s resolution. Which is your favourite?
I’d love a talking plate, a musical plate, a sensitive belt, and a smart-fridge.
1. The talking plate
It is 15 centimetres in diameter and connected to a palm-sized computer.
Weight sensors allow the diner to load up his plate with a fixed volume of food, and
if he piles on more, a recording informs the diner of his impending sin.
“Where’s your willpower?” demands the plate.
2. The sensitive belt
It monitors expansion of the wearer’s stomach as the meal proceeds,
and peeps a discreet alarm when maximum allowable extension has been reached.
The idea behind this device is that we only start feeling we are full twenty minutes or more after we start eating,
and in that time period it’s time enough to eat two or three times the proper amount of food.
The belt tells the wearer he has reached ‘fullness’ before the person’s own body will tell him he is full.
3. The musical plate
Equipped with a contact sensor built in the food containment area, and a mini-synthesiser,
it plays music each time the diner’s fork or spoon strikes the plate.
If the utensil strikes are too rapid, the plate will play fast and aggressive music
while if the person eats more slowly, the music will be calmer and less stressful.
The natural human tendency to avoid stress and find calm will therefore slow down the eating process.
3. A lightweight arm band
A motion detector on the arm-band counts calories by the individual bite.
It is especially suitable for the really enthusiastic gourmand who are unable to limit himself.
4. The smart fridge
A simple contact magnet and recorder are connected to the refrigerator door, and
it demands of the user every time the door is opened
“Are you here because you are really hungry, or is it just your emotions?”
5. Scent-ring
The wearer puts on the jewellery, “scent-ring”, which emits a strong perfume partially masking the smell of food,
and so reducing the desire to overeat.
6. Food spectacles
It is a pair of tinted glasses which turns the sight of even the most appetising goody, visually anyway, into something quite possibly inedible.

OMG OMG OMG! Really? The long-awaited Macintel ultra-thin, ultra-portable speed king is coming? I want one! I want one! I want one!
Awww… when have I become so greedy? I used to be happy with my freaky old and slow Pentium III, and now I should be happy with my MacBook, right?
All of a sudden, I feel like starting to write up my Christmas wish list. :p
Hmm……

Always…. once in a while… all of a sudden… out of nowhere…
I want to play the piano.
I really want my piano back, but my place has no room for it…
That’s why it has to stay in my uncle’s home…
Chap has been talking about getting me a digital one,
but no matter how good a digital one is,
it still can’t be compared with a traditional one (IMO).
The feeling is different. Your fingers feel the difference…
It’s like using a laptop keyboard after using a desktop one for a long time,
except that these keyboards can provide the same result,
which is not the case for pianos.
P.S.
Don’t be mistaken by the picture. My piano is not a grand one.

Read a few posts in my old online diary Steph’s Daily Thought ……
so funny……
Writing in Chinese is a different feeling,
but writing in English makes things a bit easier.
Is it time to start learning Chinese typing?
I guess not.
