Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Hi! I have been behaving accordingly in the past twelve months. So it's Christmas 'round the corner again, yeah, that's why I'm writing this to you! =D Hope you don't mind that I'm being so realistic. But I think you wouldn't mind, considering this being the first time in my 20 years living in this world to write to you. I haven't been asking much since I was young. But now I do have a tiny little request that I hope you can fulfil me during this Christmas. Sorry that I'm being so straightforward and longwinded. 'Cause as you see, this is the first time I'm writing to you and that I'm no more in teenage, I don't know whether this would make a difference or not, but I really hope you have the patience to finish reading my letter. Oh I haven't get straight to my point, haven't I. Okay, to be frank, I need a break desperately. Ah, this might sound ridiculous. As you may only capable of fulfilling materialistic children, aren't you? Anyway, I seriously hope that you can consider my wish. But if you seriously incapable of giving me that, I don't mind you dropping me a digital photo frame instead.

P.S. I don't have a chimney in my dorm. But you can always ring my doorbell (G11), I would be more than delighted to open the door for you! =) By the way, could you please wipe away those tears of them and put a smile on their faces?

P.P.S. I hope the font size is big enough to be legible. I'm darn considerate, am I not? =D

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

munwai.

Polygraph no more!

While I'm supposed to be learning something about pharmacology, I've learnt some psychology instead. I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of this but still...

If you wanna know whether somebody is telling lies or not...

1) Look into the eyes. They are afraid of eye contacts.
2) Liars tend to look to the left when they are lying. (This has something to do with the imagination part of the brain, which I don't know where the hell is that. Well, obviously, I haven't been studying my physiology again.) When people try to recall facts, they look to the right subconsciously.
3) They minimise communication. For example, they tend to use short reply to answer your questions.
4) They blink less. No laughs! Try to tell lies and see...
5) They use less hand movements or repetition of same movements.
6) Last one, your instinct lah duh! XD

Hmm. I think I should be studying psychology instead.

Note: This is just a rough/ inaccurate guideline merely concluded from the author's observation/ knowledge gained from Tvb series.

Eco-balance

I believe there exists four major types of relationship:

Mutualism: It does both justice. This is why it's most craved for in boy-girl relationship.

Parasitism: Just like you and I. We all are parasites, in the fact that we live at the expense of parents.

Commensalism: That's one greatest love story ever. Wow.

Last but not least, symbiosis? This is life. The reality.

Al dente

If you ever look up some recipes for spaghetti, you'll somehow come across the phrase al dente. It always goes like this: Cook until al dente. Well, there's a reason for it to appear in the context. And you got to be meticulous about the cooking time. Because if you don't, the pasta either get undercooked or overcooked. And Wikipedia says the pasta will then stick to your teeth when you chew it. That's bad. In terms of oral hygiene. Of course, most importantly, the satisfaction that you are craving for, will poof vanish right away at the moment when you take your first bite. It's all about timing, isn't it.

随手一则

在寂静的凌晨时分，
少了白天的喧哗，
闭上双眼，
细心聆听王菲的经典老歌，
是最适合不过，
只有在这种静得恐怖的时候，
才能仔细享受她完美的声线。
此刻，
写论文竟然可以是快乐的。
只有在这样的夜晚，
才听到内心深处的呼唤。
*微笑*
好令人期待的夜晚！
明晚，也会一样吗？
