About Me
If, I ever found
A wishing carpet lying around,
I'd stand upon it and I'd say:
"Take me to his side, right away!"
And then we'd travel very far
To where the magic countries are
That you and I will never see
And choose the loveliest gifts for you, from me.
So last night at Bather's was absolutely smashing! Wonderful food, wonderful wine, wonderful company. :) However, One Daily Scoop closed before I got to eat my kahlua ice cream. Pffft!
Went to town today with the family. I came back with 10 new CDs including one which I've been wanting to get. And my dad was so nice to have bought the entire set for me! He got me the full 9 Symphonies of Beethoven, played by the Berlin Philharmonic. I could die a happy girl right now. :) Dinner-ed at this Korean place which we used to frequent when I was younger until we fell in love with other restaurants. Meehee. I was so full that I could barely walk. And right when we went down, everyone started shopping and I happily bought Famous Amos to munch on while waiting for them. There goes everything. I should really stop munching on food. ):
I didn't talk about dinner with Sam on Tuesday. We went to Billy Bombers because I had a sudden craving for it. Meehee. There was so much food and so much laughs that left me pretty satisfied at the end of the day. :) After dinner and walking aimlessly around Marina Square, we went back to his place. He was like this bellboy with all the bags because he came down from Paya Lebar Airbase which is like, a totally different country to me! Hahaha. But as it is, I was even later than him. But I told him not to grumble about it because Jori had to put up with worse appearances from me. Meehee. We talked so much that I was left with nearly no voice at the end. Oh, you know what's funny? I met his mum for tea on Friday (or was it Thursday?) and I told her that I was going out for dinner with Sam on the coming Tuesday. And his mum was like, "Oh? Really? I wanna go along too!" And my mum was all like, "Nooo! Don't! You know how Laura and Sam's like. They will go for the good food and I don't want to be left to pick up their tabs!" And then his mum was like, "Yeah! Right! Ok! I don't want to go already!" Hahaha. Gayness yo!
Oh oh! When you see me, please remind me to tell you about Little Me! I mean, when you see me in person and not online or sms and the likes. It is damn funny! HAHAHA. :D
So anyways, I got this in the mail today and I thought it was rather interesting so I'm putting it up here for y'all to read. :)

In the 15th century, a law was set forth in England that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb".
Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only.. Ladies Forbidden".. & thus the word GOLF entered the English language.
On a side note, I have to say that whenever I see or hear anything that has anything to do with golf, I always think of you, Xiang! HAHAHA. ;p
The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Everyday, more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.
Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.
Coca-Cola was orginally green.
The average number of people airborne over the US at any given hour is 61,000.
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The first novel written on a typewriter was Tom Sawyer.
Each king in a deck of playing cards represent a great king in history: Spades - King David Hearts - Charlemagne Clubs - Alexander, the Great Diamonds - Julius Caesar
If a statue of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
If you were to spell out number, you would have to go till one thousand before you could find the letter "A".
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "Good night, sleep tight."
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would suppy his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar-based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the landlord would yell at them, "Mind your pints and quarts and settle down!" It's where we get the phrase "Mind your P's and Q's."
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.
