Just For Laughs from Uncle MunToh
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)
If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it!)
The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(WOW!)
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)
A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death!
(Creepy)
(I'm still not over the pig.)
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour
(Don't try this at home, maybe at work)
The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.
("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(30 minutes.. lucky pig! Can you
imagine?)
The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of
a pond?)
Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I always wanted to know.)
The strongest muscle in the body is the
tongue.
(Hmmmmmm......)
Right-handed people live, on average,nine years longer than left-handed
people.
(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.
(okay, so that would be a good thing)
A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that
out?)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that too.)
Polar bears are left-handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer)
Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.
(What about that pig??)

Shoving it down your throat
How do you actually put a lid over something as collossal as anger?
How do you quit being as vocal about your opinions and feelings as you used to be?
How would you manage to do all these things and still manage to be HUMAN and not inhumanly PERFECT?
Well,you and i better get used to it then...Being "inhuman" that is.
Here are 2 contrasting quotes..both on the same subject.Ironic isnt it?I wonder which of us would follow which?
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. ~Ambrose Bierce
Anger ventilated often hurries toward forgiveness; and concealed often hardens into revenge.

I am idealistic in my own way,but not to the extent that i believe in Disney's much propagated "Happy Ever Afters". The point is, is there really such an utopia?Where you live happily ever after with the person you love and your existence is not blighted or marred with any scar or problem.Perfect peace.
My life in general has truly been a blessed one. Even as i sit here in the midst of all my troubles, i can say that.It has given me with nothing but the best. But will my life end in a "happily ever after"? After all, arent those only for fairy tales that dont exist? Therefore, happily ever after, should technically, NOT EXIST?
Because for me,just when you think that life's great and treating you with the best it can offer, things just come crashing down.Much like the unexpected Great Depression in the 1930's.In a blink of an eye and you can say bye bye to everything you ever dreamed of.
Is it God's will or Man's own undoing? I'd rather think of it as both. His will as well as our own mistakes. We are afterall flawed. It would be very selfish of us to oh so conveniently let Him take the blame wouldnt it? If so, we would also not realise the extent of our pride and mistakes. As well i should realise.
"When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."

Money versus Freedom of speech
Would it be a great sacrifice to give up your freedom of speech? In return for, lets say..half a million? If you were given such a choice, would you take the money or your freedom of speech?
To some,it might seem that the riches of the world would be the best and most ideal choice to take. But would it? To have what you say be dictated to you. To suppress what you actually feel and put a seemingly smiling face in front of the world,which underneath it all is so superficial. Wouldn’t you merely be a puppet being pulled by its strings? Like a lapping dog following a master. Throw a tasty piece of bone in front of you and you quickly gobble it down your throat.
I think selling the right to what you have to say is akin to selling your soul. There would always be that feeling that you’ve let yourself down. Of wearing a mask just for the sake of money. After all,it can be so easy. Just rehearse your lines in front of the mirror day after day and I’m sure you’ll get used to your speech lines even though you don’t mean it. And even if does make you into a hypocrite, you don’t say anything,I don’t say anything, im sure everything will be perfectly alright.
To those who do not even blink when confronted with this decision, I salute you.
Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. --Pearl Strachan

We forget because we must,not because we will.
Anyone ever heard of a way to beat a bad temper out of a person?
I for one have never.
Your temper is something that stays with you throughout your lives.
You might reduce its intensity once in awhile but i highly doubt that you can actually erase it wholly out of your system.
So what makes her think i can wash away my hot temperedness in 2 months?
I believe everyone of us is entitled to bursts of hot temperednes once in awhile. No one can be an angel 24/7. That would naturally make us all unnatural. Something,i fortunately am not.Gah.
But each day brings its petty dust ,
Our soon-chok'd souls to fill,
And we forget because we must,
And not because we will.

There were a number of first's today.
The first,FIRST ( i noe im being annoyingly accurate but bear with me for awhile yar ) was that i woke up at 6 in the morning to go for a morning jog wit James at 6.30 am.
I dont believe ive ever wanted to exercise at all! What more wake up so early to do so.
:D One of the main reasons why i did it was cos i didnt wanna lose all the muscle that i gained in NS. XD LOL.
James and I told Noelle about our proposition the night before and she predicted that instead of going for a jog,we'd end up eating bah kut teh. Hehe. So..to set the record straight, ta jie, we DID go for a jog and we DID end up EATING. But your prediction wasnt accurate enuf... we didnt eat BAH KUT TEH...we ended up eating FAT RICE aka translation - NASI LEMAK. ;)
The second first was that i cut my hair.
Yes, i noe. You'd be asking..how can CUTTING one's hair count as a first?
Well,i did not just cut but i permed my hair to make it wavy n curly.
The results..being this...
NO! I'm not asking you to look at the face full of pimples. Im asking you to take a good look at the hair. Nice no? :D I happen to like it very much. Due to the fact that its something ive never done before!
This is the side view. It's very layered.
And to end it, a very happy Ming Choi with her hair ;). Nites ppl.

Attention ppl of the www!
Hear ye, hear ye! All the people in this wireless land!
Your's truly's handphone number has changed. Her new number is now 016 2300245. So, to all who have been calling/msging my new number, do know that it is now in the hands of a malay creep in National Service who does not read,write,or speak English, so dont bother dialling that number again. ;) Cheerios ppl!

For now i have a perpetual smile plastered on my face despite the commotion around me at home. I hear doors banging and mua brothers shouting but im still smiling. I guess this is what 2 months in NS does to you -to learn how to close your ears and eyes when there's disturbances around! ;)
So yes people, ive officially "Graduated" from Kem Setia Ikhlas, Ulu (yes, as in "buruk")Semenyih. You can see a stamp on my face that says "PASS INSPECTION ISO 91200 NATIONAL SERVICE".
Bye bye rules and regulations and hello to civilisation and mummy and daddy!
*wheeeeee*
Oh and by the way, i think i do owe Mr Spokesperson a big thank you, so THANK YOU!Be happy that im not SUING you and CHARGING you for DEFAMATION. :D Especially since you've been taking advantage of my window of expression to "memburuk burukkan" my name. I've got fans k :P haha. But arigato all the same! ;)
As for now, my future has been decided and i have one more week to enjoy before a new phase in my life starts on the 19th. It's an exhilarating feel altogether to finally have something to look forward to in life. So..here's to a new chapter in this blessed life! Cheers peeps! ;)

Did you see her at the national day parade yesterday?She was marching in her uniform with the other national service trainees..anyway some updates..if you've tried calling her sms her and you can't get through..its not your fault.Her handphone got stolen (its nothing new in NS camps) and she suspects a guy whom she had a misunderstanding with,stole her handphone..she was terrified at first and scared her parents will scold her,but she ok now and her parents didn't scold her..she's asking some guys in the guys dorm to get back her hp..anyway her credit was about RM4..if you want to contact her,you stil can,but its her friend's hp at 012-3629277..other than that,some of her 'personal' belongings also got stolen,you can ask her what was stolen??
For those who deeply miss her,not to worry..ming choi will be back home on the 11 Sept 2005..for PERMANENT..Yes,she's coming out from the NS program earlier cause she's starting her law degree in Taylor's on the 19/9/05..so people,embrace her homecoming with full of smiles and hugs (eventhough you have to fake it) How she feels about this?mix feelings..on one hand,she feels relieved and happy to be out of the NS camp..on the other hand,she feels sad that she's leaving her friends in the camp who she bonded so well (ahem)
For me,i'm relieved that i won't be updating her blog anymore cause she's not paying me anything..other than that the meaning of peace will be gone when she's back..ARGHHHH
