The importance of matching undies

Before i start, i wanna warn u not to judge me... this may seem superficial but to some people, it holds the same amount of importance as the 52 degree slant of your hair, the north-east arrangement of your monitor, the line on your newly ironed short, etc.

What i am going to talk about is matching undies.

I recently had an epiphany as to why some girls are anal about getting a SET of undies and not just buying the bra or panty alone. And not just getting, but wearing the set together (Sometimes i don't ok? cos I've got my faves and every morning, deciding what to wear on the outside is a big enough headache). Here's a few scenarios as to why it is important:

1) You decided on a whim to go to a shiatsu massage just to kill time before a class outing. Lady masseur tells you to undress and you are grateful that you wore matching and nice undies.

2) You are trying on clothes in the fitting room and somebody flings the curtain open when you have stripped to your undies. You are grateful that you didn't scare the person with your fraying granny panties.

3) You are dead drunk and have locked yourself in the toilet. The staff breaks open the door, glances at you and appreciates your taste in undies for a brief moment. You are grateful that your matching undies managed to distract the staff from your mess.

4) You went wild and decided to throw caution to the wind and left the club with a deadly gorgeous guy. Blah blah blah. You are grateful that though your undies may be childish but they are at least matching.

5) You meet some guy with X-ray vision and as he laughs at everyone else's rubbish undies, you are grateful that you manage to get some respect from someone with superpowers due to your impeccable taste in matching undies.

6) You hang out your bamboo of washed undies and all your neighbours, including the one 3 blocks away, takes out their binoculars to appreciate your collection. You are grateful and able to walk around your neighbourhoood with your head held up high.

Hope you managed to comprehend the seriousness of this issue. It's time for an assessment of your collection.

Truthfully, only the massage and fitting room were my experiences. And don't you go staring at me weirdly from now on.

Supreme Court Open House - 14/15 Mar'09

Supreme Court of Singapore opens its door to the public (first time in history!) this weekend in the hopes of “demystifying” the institution, lessen the “anxiety” that people have about the courts and to show that “courts are not such a forbidding place”.

Highlight of the event is a mock criminal trial to find out the murderer of Humpty Dumpty. This 30min "Humpty" trial will be performed by court staff, in full costume and there's even a cordoned off "crime scene" within the building. Pretty cool right?? Haha.. And hmm, i thought Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and fell to death... No??!!??

Other programmes included mock civil proceedings inside actual courtrooms, 30minute tours of the building, an exhibition debunking various “stereotypes” in Singapore courts, as well legal talks and clinics by the Law Society of Singapore. There are photo opportunities where one can dress up in a lawyer’s robe (wigs are optional) or be photographed as a criminal.

YEAH!! I'm definitely going! Seeya tomorrow =)

Sick

Did you guys see the latest Sneeze Campaign ad by Health Promotion Board?? Very clever indeed! I'm sure the msg of flu bug being infectious will get across to people (eventually!!) and the spread can be easily prevent by doing 3 simple steps: stay at home when unwell, wear a mask when in public, and sneeze and cough into a tissue.

Anyway, I am recuperating at home as I come down with:
1. Sore throat - caused by the hot weather (i think) and maybe i caught the flu bug from someone on the train =(
2. Cough - have been coughing my lungs out for the past few nights lor... and till my eyes are both red with tears
3. Sore eyes - question marks right?? i thought my eyes are red becos of my non-stop coughing... but apparently, it really is sore eyes.
4. No sneezing, runny nose or etc, so I'm not really a full blown flu case yet...

Being the very socially responsible gal, I am staying at home today and tomorrow to rest!! (Erhh... after kena 'scoldings' from my colleagues on Tuesday and Wednesday that i may have sore eyes and should stay at home to rest...). My colleagues are glad that i am not spreading any bug/germ to them now...

And besides, I dont want to risk taking public transport AND catching the flu bug from someone else. Went to work yesterday and the train was full of ppl coughing and sneezing.... Argghhh!

You guys must take care of yourselves and stay healthy yah!! Being sick is not fun... =(

Rainbow- A short-lived thing of beauty

Photo of yesterday's rainbow courtesy of Qazwer in Clubsnap.com

I had a totally crappy day yesterday (today was just as bad) but on my way back, i spotted this thing of beauty spanning the whole of jurong east's skies. But of cos, other areas could spot it too but i felt it was there right on top of me.

The next second, i felt like i was filled to the brim with unicorns, fairy dust and magic kisses, and i almost broke into a song and dance in jurong east interchange. luckily all i did was to hurry grab my colleague who was nearby and shared that magic with him.

During my bus ride, i saw many people stopping to gape at the rainbow, smile at it and take pictures. As i near my home, the rainbow was almost translucent by then. But i think for that 30 mins or so, loads of ppl including myself had a silly smile plastered on their faces.

How to read...

okay dokey! The 2 readings which i dont understand or know how to read... for many years!! hahaha =) Hopefully it's useful to some of you...

Blood pressure reading

• Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the artery.
• Brachial artery is a blood vessel that goes from your shoulder to just below your elbow. You measure the pressure in this artery.
• Systolic pressure is the highest pressure in an artery when your heart is pumping blood to your body.
• Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure in an artery when your heart is at rest.
• Blood pressure measurement is made up of both the systolic and the diastolic pressure. It is normally written like this: 120/80, with the systolic number first.
• Normal blood pressure is 120/80 or lower. High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher.

Visual acuity reading

• Snellen chart is the chart used by opticians to measure the sharpness of your eyesight (or visual acuity).
• The chart is imprinted with block letters that line-by-line decrease in size, corresponding to the distance at which that line of letters is normally visible.
• The letters are called Snellen's test type. Each block letter is quite scientific in design -- at the appropriate distance the letter subtends a visual angle of 5 degrees and each component part subtends an angle of 1 minute.
• The results are expressed as a fraction -- the numerator denotes the distance at which the patient sees from the type, and the denominator the line he sees at this distance.
• E.g. an eye has 6/24 visual acuity, this means that the smallest row of letters the tested eye can discern at a distance of 6 metres is what a normal eye can discern at a greater distance of 24 metres.
• 6/6 visual acuity is normal vision. 6/5 represents the fortunate 10 percent of the population that has better than normal vision.
