FINALLY!
Ju Encai has revealed her real identity to the in-laws, who would be going bankrupt following the aftermath.
So exciting!
I can't wait till the end of the whole drama!
P.S. Too bad I'll be out tomorrow night. Arrrgggh!

BE BOLD
I like yellow!
I honestly think this is really vaairrryy nice and daring; but yellow is known to be a stimulating colour. This idea doesn't seem fitting; I can't imagine needing to feel STIMULATED in a toilet. *kekeke!* Perhaps a study room is more appropriate. Yeah! This colour would be really nice for a study room.
Lavenders are awesome, too!
Credits: Some unknown; with apologies (kindly leave a message if you happen to have them!).

=)
I've a friend whose birthday falls on today - 14th February.
CNY + Vday + Bday. TRIPLE! THREE-IN-ONE! I thought it's so COOL!
On second thoughts, now I think, it's quite lugi.
It's already bad enough that CNY coincides with Vday. It just kills the atmosphere and the romance (dongdongdong qiang! Dongdongdong qiang! Dongdongdong qiang dong qiang dong qiang! Gong xi ya, gong xi, fa ya fa da cai!) . Throw in a birthday as well. Not only is a person tied down with CNY obligations (e.g. go visiting some long-time-never-see-see-also-see-once-a-year relatives) and can't really celebrate the birthday per se; but the person also runs a high risk of being so short-changed. You receive a present - and it's CNY + Vday + Bday all rolled in one. Uni-purpose. One size fits all. Three-in-one.
HAHA.
I used to think of getting married on my birth date - because it's a pretty and meaningful date. On second thoughts, better not. For one, I would rather have more anniversaries and celebrations together with loved ones. Secondly, I won't want The Hubby to give a present and say, "Nah! For you... Happy **th anniversary! And, oh, by the way, Happy Birthday, too." That'll be so sad.
I don't know; but I think, having two memorable events coincide together on the same day is the equivalence of halving the possible loving, sweet memories one can have and keep.
Strangely, I woke up this morning feeling so good on the inside. It can't be due to CNY because, frankly, each time the Tiger comes visiting, I turn 12 YEARS OLDER. The next time when the Tiger visits again, I would be 36 (by then, I believe in faith I would have at least 3 kids - with the oldest in primary school - by then!).
When I was 12, I was absolutelydelighted thrilled to see the Tiger for the first time. With the passage of years, though, the sight of the Tiger is honestly getting less and less welcoming. Biology is unfair. Men in their 40s are STILL considered to be in their primes (just think of local TV actor 57-year-old Marcus Chin [Chen Jian Bing]). Women, however, in their mid-30s are already OLD, really.
Anyway, woke up feeling so good.
I believe I can get the best that I want to get, as long as my life is lived as such that God is on my side every second of my life. I don't believe in compromisation.
DO YOU?

CHOOSE YOUR TOILETS
There was a session of badminton yesterday. Took a shower. Dried (or at least, tried to!) the hair. Hopped on a bus. Headed down to Tampines. Reached at 6pm. I'm rather early, I thought, and thus decided to pop by a store and purchase a bottle of herbal tea. On the way back up, nature called. Not urgently though.
Since it was relatively still early, I chose to answer it. I've always very much preferred the restrooms at Century Square. Since time was on my side, I decided to walk the distance.
I walked through the passage link-way linking TM to CS. And a particular "S" word that women all over the word are ever so powerfully affronted by caught my eyes.
SALES!!! *cue girlish screams!*
Remember this? IT'S MINE NOW!!! (And at $40 cheaper!) *hophopjumpjumpbouncebouncehophop~*
Someone, scream with me!!! NOW!!!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!
P.S. My butt, thigh, and right arm are aching now.

PUNCHED!
Ate my first morsel of food for today at near 7pm - a packet of Cai Fan.
A very bad choice. It has been more than 2hours, but the stomach still feels so terribly bloated and uncomfortable. It's not a very nice sensation. Like someone just punched the stomach or something, yeah, that kind of feeling. Even now, I feel like puking out the contents.
I seriously don't like having a weak stomach.

V.I.P. ROOM
During last year's Christmas gift exchange, my present came with a nice little bow. And in purple, one of my favourite colours!
I took it off gently and - out of convenience - stuck it on my bedroom door (next time can "recycle").
Before going off to bed that night, out of fun, I stuck an additional post-it. Declaring that it's the, you know, V.I.P. room.
The next morning, I found this.

FECUNDABILITY AND BIOLOGY
Read this article earlier. It wow-ed me because, you know, I realized that there are so many things I didn't know.
Ok, it's general knowledge that around age 35 (at the time of childbirth, NOT conception) is considered advanced-age pregnancy; and that fertility declines with advancing age - especially during the mid-30s. Risks involved are stillbirth, miscarriage, low birth weight, premature birth, health complications such as gestational diabetes, (the usual) chromosomal problems such as Down Syndrom (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13 etc. Factors that pit against advanced-age pregnancy - as per general knowledge - are the usual health issues such as: kidney problems, heart problems, weight (both too heavy or too thin), diabetes, high BP etc.
But!!! I've always thought that the declined fertility is due to eggs of lower quality being produced - you know, like how it is in sperms. Low motility. Cannot swim. Swim crookedly etc.
Anyway, apparently, other than quality, the OTHER MAIN CAUSE of the decline in fertility is due to LESS FREQUENT OVULATION (bet you didn't know that!). Meaning that on some months, there is no egg at all. What I didn't know too, is that there is also a higher risk of C-section, and miscarriage (even if the fetus has normal chromosomes). In fact, medical help should be seeked if there is still no news after (only!) 6 months of... Emmm... "purposeful" bedroom activity. Bet you didn't know this too!
Statistics:
Women who are 26 to 30 years of age have similar conception rates to women 25 years of age or younger. Conception rates for women under age 31 years, age 31 to 35 years, and over age 35 years are 74, 62, and 54 percent, respectively.
The chances of involuntary childlessness in women at age 20 to 24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, 35 to 39, and 40 to 44 is 6, 9, 15, 30, and 64 percent respectively. Women aged 35-45 have a 20-35% chance of miscarriage.
Usually, eggs of superior quality are present at higher volumes at a younger age than after 30.
Fecundability (i.e. the probability of achieving a pregnancy in one menstrual cycle) begins to decline significantly in the early 30s (about age 32), with a more rapid decline a few years later.
The statistics wow-ed!
FECUNDABILITY! Just learnt a new word! And placenta pervia. Google if you're nerd enough to!
Biology. Biology IS educational! *woot!*

LAW LOR
A weird but funny thought crossed my mind just now.
I think, law students can get quite misunderstood - and a tad too often at that.
Especially during the season of CNY.
Relative A (whom is met only once a year): What are you doing now, Ah Boy? Studying or working?
Ah Boy: I'm studying.
Relative A: Ooohhhhh... What are you studying?
Ah Boy: Studying law.
Relative A: Oohhoooookkkkkk... Studying what, ah?
Ah Boy: Ermmm... I'm studying law.
Relative A: Ya lah, I know. Study WHAT?
Ah Boy: Told you already what, I'm studying law!
Relative A: I know, lah! But what, lah???
Ah Boy: Studying law!!! LAW!!!
*repeat entire conversation exchange with Relatives B, C, D, E, and F.
*kekeke!!!*
Ok, fine, I was bored just now.
