Silly me...

Realised how stoopid I was...

1) One of the spammers has a blogger account...

2) Searching "spam" under blogger does give u some ways to prevent them (*prays it works)

(for the uninitiated, check out http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1203&topic=23 )

The day anonymous posting died

Due to incessant spamming by anonymous ad posters, short of writing to the good people of Blogger and Google.com (heh we're all lazy pppl), anonymous commenting will be disabled.

Thank you (spamming bitches! Get a life! Go ruin your own life or blog or something! Idiots...)

Le Chocolate Buffet

First and foremost, STOP BLOODY SPAMMING ADS ON MY BLOG U FREAKIN IDIOTS. I'm pretty confident and comfortable of my manhood and juz because prozac causes erectile dysfunction doesn't gif u the right to leave dumb ass ads for which u sorry asses need urselves.

Went to the uber expensive chocolate buffet @ Fullerton hotel today. Mixed reviews I guess, especially since I got full within 10 mins of arrival and choco-phobic after the next hr. In fact most of us were feeling a tad nauseated from all that choc after a while. Word of advice, SHARE the food. Didn't helped that I ate 2 whole slices of cakes myself, tempted by the exuberant layer of tantalising choclate.

Yes, the stuff there was nice, but after a while, U really want the free flow of tea (u dun need any sugar in it after eating all the chocolate) to wash down the dark gold. And do yourself a favour, go for the lighter tea instead of coffee.

Highlight there was of course the chocolate fountain:

Fantastic fondue sia!!! BUT, by the time we adventured to that section, I was past the orgasm from chocolate high and already down the road of choco-phobia. Still the marshmellows were fantastic (springy and chewy!) and so were the strawberries (HUGE!) and the giant sized Pocky sticks (as seen in the pix).

After we peng4-ed from all the choc, we discovered yet another section... the hot choc!!! And they had such interesting names and descriptions (including the % of cacoa i think). On display was also this choc dragon (purely for display of course...)


U can see the extremely nice waitress in charge of that area... and the whole array of chocs available in the plates... YUMMY! She'll den proceed to simmer the chocs with milk in the pot of her and concot a fabulous choc drink! (although some of our choices turned out not to be that fantastic drinks...)

Muz commend the HR for that cafe. The waitresses were all sights for sore eyes... unlike some of the ppl who were there. It's extremely fun to people watch at such posh places ya! Spotted ugly boyfrens, this gal with nice back view but obviously wearing a maximiser, a bride with !!!! unbeliveable waist (IT'S A WONDER SHE CAN BREATHE IN THAT CORSET!).

Unfortunately for such a high price, the meal wasn't that fantastic although the company and ambience etc made up for it i guess. Doubt I'd be going back, but for those who want to try something new, it ain't such a bad place.

And Airlad, he was there in a way to promote the career of a financial planner (talk sponsored by Prudential), but well since it costs like hundreds juz to hear him talk, I decided to go and turn a deaf ear to the earlier talks by the Prudential ppl.

Incidently, the Pru ppl had planned a Q&A session featuring 3 of their staff to field the questions (which were thought of by their own staff... like huh?). Anyway juz by their looks, I was quite won over... until they open their mouths...

Bad english, poor diction (one had some lisp problem or something), answers that didn't really make sense or weren't relevant to the questions (despite being and obviously staged Q&A session...)

Wonder how they were chosen...

Que Sera Sera... The loser song

Went to a rather inspirational talk by Adam Khoo today. That's when he said with ridicule, that whoever wrote this song must be a loser... It's a loser song! How true, especially after that talk.

When I was just a little boy(gal), I asked my mother what would I be
Will I be handsome(pretty), will I be rich
Here's wat she said to me...

(Here comes the nonsensical/loser part)
"Que Sera Sera, Whatever will be, will be..."

Quoting a study done in Yale University, the graduating batch of 1952 was polled to find out how many of the students actually had clear goals at that point in time. Shockingly only 3% of the students at that time had specific goals. The other 97% just had the "Whatever will be will be" attitude.

Following up on the batch some 20-30 years later, the 2 groups of students were again compared. Again! Shocking results. The combined income of this 3% was at least 3 times more than the combined income of all 97% of the remaining students. Can u juz fanthom how much more successful this 3% were!!!

Nice analogy he put to us too:

(With reference as to whether u'd want to take control of ur life, or work/slog for others...)

Imagine u were in a bus on a freeway going at 300 km/hr. Would you rather be the poor bus driver controlling and managing the bus?


OR......


Would you rather be the helpless passenger and leave your LIFE in the hands of another bus driver (ie OTHERS)?


Man I'm definitely going for the next one if he ever gave a free seminar again!

Dr Quack

Makes me wonder why some ppl can become qualified doctors:

TRUE LIFE STORY (from my Aunt in Canada...):

My aunt was sick over a few days and decided to try another GP apart from her usual one (for reasons i dun know, but for readers, pls dun doctor hope hor... makes it difficult for the docs to monitor ur progress, and may be dangerous to you if our history is incomplete.)

Anyway, this GP decided to give my aunt a 5 day course of antibiotics (?!?! in Canada?!?! I thought they were bloody stingy with antibiotics). This guy sure had some business plan coz my aunt was given 5 tabs of cefixime to be taken once a day. (For med ppl, it's an oral 3rd generation cephalosporin...) WHO THE HELL GIVES IT AS FIRST LINE ABX IN SUCH MINOR PRESENTATIONS? WORSE AS A GP!

It's freakin expensive like Canadian $25+ (compared to what she'd get with her usual doc... ~$10 which would still have been equally effective), plus it whacks so hard and broad... and get this...

THIS FUCKER TOLD MY AUNT SHE DIDN'T NEED TO FINISH HER ANTIBIOTICS! For non med ppl, this promotes the growth of resistant bacteria... Can't figure out the implication? Scenario: U catch a bloody pneumonia from someone and fall so bloody ill u get warded in the intensive care unit, only to be told sorry, no antibiotics can kill the bug u haf... and u're kinda left to die...

Den my aunt being a pre-diabetic (impared glucose tolerance), and typical Chinese, asked if she needed to avoid certain foods HAVING GIVEN A HISTORY OF abnormal glucose tests...

FUCKING DOCTOR TOLD HER SINCE SHE'S OVER 60 YRS OLD, SHE WON'T GET DIABETES!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!

It's these quacko doctors that give docs everywhere a bad name, drive up the bloody litigation and hence insurance fees (imagine if my aunt dev diabetes and decided to sue that quack) etc etc.

If u happen to be so fortunate as to have glanced past my blog, please do everyone a favour and kill yourself now. The world would be a very much better place without you.
