I've only heard of Kuru though. Somewhat similar to mad cow disease. This "foreign accent syndrome"... I think most people have it. :P

Owww my stomach hurts. It's this IBS again. And I thought it was long gone. Apparently it never goes away. I look like I'm six months pregnant, and no, I'm not exaggerating. On days like these, I wear loose clothes and pretend to be preggers and shop at Mothercare. Haha! Freaked out yet? Kidding la I'm not so free. On days like these I just avoid people and try to fart it all out by myself. Maybe I have to start chewing my food properly instead of gobbling down chunks of it. But I can't help it! I picked up that habit from my dad, and it's the only way I can get more food into my system in the shortest time. Yes, I treat everything like a competition, and yes, I know it's stupid. If only that were the case for research. THAT, I feel like a loser.

I wonder if other cultures were the same, but we have EXTREMELY STUPID Singaporeans blaming the SMU girl for bringing in H1N1. I feel so disappointed in my own people. It just goes to show how low-class and ignorant they are. It's just a matter of time we catch the virus, so people should just back off her case. No-lifers, really, these people ought to be re-educated. And once again, I'm so thankful that I have awesome friends who are open-minded and smart and not make stupid comments.

One of my male friends "advised" me not to buy low-end branded products, like Coach, and I should go for the high-end ones like LV or Gucci. And the reason? Because it has greater re-sell value. Hmmm wait. I buy stuff not with the intention of selling them afterwards. Plus, possessing a "high-end" branded good does not in the least excite me, because I don't exactly envy people who own such stuff. I'd really rather use the money to buy myself a car which is reasonably more practical than having a $3000 bag, but I'm not much of a car person, so oh well, but I dare say that because I haven't wasted my cash on buying branded shits, I actually have enough to own and maintain a car in Singapore, thank you very much, just that I think I'd rather be chauffeured around by a taxi driver and save up the money to buy my own place. :P

BUT BUT BUT if any of you kind people want to give me a pretty LV or Burberry's or Hermes bag/wallet/ANYTHING, I'd take your offer! But please include the receipt so that I can change it for cash. :D

Oooh and I also want to see the world. Got money, no time. When I had the time, I had no money. Sheesh.

See what kind of world we're living in? I'd also rather use the money to help the less fortunate, but I don't want to give it to some charity organisation. After all the NKF and the Buddhist monk scandals, I cannot trust these people, although it may seem flippant that I'm making this remark. Moreover, I'd feel more accomplished if I did it myself. I've been living in a private estate for so long that I've forgotten how it's like to be in a neighbourhood, like back when I was still living in Toa Payoh 14 years back (ohmigosh). It always felt "homely", because you knew the neighbours and would hang out with them, unlike in my current area where everyone keeps to themselves (yea the cute neighbour refuses to look me in the eye but whatever la :P), so I only greet the maids and the elderly when I walk past them. Why people so unfriendly?!

Since I'm putting on weight now, I might as well go all the way to 45kg so that I can donate blood. Been wanting to do so for some time. Me blood type ish universal donor! Sigh and I should really get my blood work done up, as my boss has advised me to, since I always fall sick. Maybe I'm anaemic or something. Ahhh and I got this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restless_legs_syndrome hehe I never thought it was a real thing. I mean I get sleepless nights because my legs have this uncontrollable urge to move plus if you observed me during lectures or anything which requires me to sit still, I'd fidget and move my legs a lot, which annoyed my family and some of my ex-bfs 'cos they felt it was "unladylike" to shake your legs. PFFT if only they knew!!!

Still coughing, but not so bad anymore. I still taste blood though urgh. Maybe the coughing's what's making my tummy so painful. Mmm mm Python programming turns me on. Ooooh look at the code. Mmmhhh. Nice sexy eclipse IDE.

Awesome. I am officially down with a fever and a cough.
