Banana points.

It's just a crappy title. I've been craving for bananas recently. And they make a good, healthy and ever-ready snack.

Some amusing information on ze Banana:
1) anti-ulcer
2) mild laxative effect
3) aphrodisiac
4) helps in regeneration of red blood cells.
5) Banana + milk = a nearly complete balanced diet (power!)


Banana's aside, I've been reading the papers and here's some itzy-bitzies for you:

Itzy-bitzy 1:
This week's URBAN looks at how some celebs share about the similarities between them and their pooches. *Looks at my dog* How am I similar to you? (eeks, unglam un-photoshoped pic)



Oh, yeah, the both of us don't really like starfruit, unless juiced and mixed with honey.

Itzy-bitzy 2:
When shopping gets boring, an inquisitive curiousity towards novelty led me hotel-exploring and Oooo-ing and Ah-ing at posh decor and the classy interior design. That's what ulu-gated people like me do when I step into many-star hotels. But for people like Mr. and Mrs. Ong, they step into exclusive hotels, set their eyes it... and may just acquire it (refer to Straits Times article). Tell me, who steps into a hotel/resort and think, "Looks good, maybe I'll just get it." At best, I'll think the exact same line only when getting little things which require less than green and red notes. It's out of this world to read that there're people who can acquire hotels one after another... I don't even accumulate enough money to do that in a game of Monopoly.

Taken straight off ST URBAN pg 13... you have....
"Civil defence ... to fend off inquisitive relatives and friends" about singlehood.
Here's some of amusingly feasible suggestions...
1) Fight fire with fire: Ask an equally embarrassing question. Eg. "When are you giving birth?"
2) Binge your way out: Stuff yourself with CNY goodies so that your mouth will be too full to entertain any questions.
3) Play victim: Blame your relatives for not introducing a nice girl/guy to you. And while you're at it, you can also blame your parents, siblings, teachers and the society for your lack of romance.
4) Strength in numbers: Hang around with other singles. If you are with older bachelors or bacherlorettes, even better. They can be canon fodder as you make your escape.
5) Delay tactics: Reply "maybe December" when you relative asks when. Just don't specify the year.

Meanwhile, Happy Cheena New Year! :)
