Greetings, starshines. The Earth says: Hello!
I shake you warmly by the hand.
HAHA, don't you just love Mr Willy Wonka? :D (though he's kinda creepy..)
Many thanks for those of you who printed my home-ec stuffs for me!!
Oh okay, ESPECIALLY FuCheng. (See that, noob? :p)
As i was busy during the holidays, i didn't have time to shop. So to make up for that, i spent the past 2 nights blog-shopping till the wee hours. &In Sunday night's case, i didn't even sleep a wink x_x Anyway, so far i've spent about a hundred plus just solely on ONE blog-shop (?!?!). That's NOT a very good thing to realize, but well, it's the easiest way to satisfy my hormones to shop {:
So okay. Everyone around me is behaving strangely...
- Yesterday, Darius was talking about his home-ec dish, which has a very...um... impressive name. Check it out: Grilled mussels with mozzarella, cured lemon and anchovies plus asparaguses Frito o_o chimological enough? & he said it's Portuguese mix Italian. For goodness sake, it's just a high school home-ec practical exam! LOL.
- Charmaine's obviously crazy these few days (thanks to ME :D)
- Xingbo's being very, extremely GAY this term. You should see his worksheets and files, all full of hearts and smiley faces :O?!?!
- Mrs Tan really has major mood-swings, & Darius said it's probably cus she's going through her 2nd puberty (if you know what i mean). One moment, she can be shouting at all of us at the top of her lungs. And the next moment, she's smiling away as though she received a love letter (though i doubt anyone would send her one, seriously). Wee-ird. &oh, even Benjamin agrees she's biased. HAH. Well, at least today's coursework check went well for me. For once, she said mine is 'Good' *flood Earth with smiles :D:D!*
- Mrs Goh was also cranking up on us on Monday. Shouting non-stop at 12'456 decibels =.-
- Lijun just called me up and was squealing over the phone : [VERON!! Guess what?? Twilight's going to be out as a movie on 16 December! HAHAHA. The moment i saw it, I was soooo excited for you lah! HAHAHA. Okay, bye bye.] :O??? LOL!
- And apparently, Cherine's also crazy. Look at her random tag on my tagboard -.-
Yesterday, stayed back to accompany Lijun before her band, & later on to do art work with Sylvia. But i ended up doing her counselor stuffs. Oh well, it was kinda fun :)
Today, ended at freaking 2.30 T_T Went out of school to buy Lijun's waffle, then headed back to school. Thanks to Xingbo's macaroni, i didn't have to spend a single cent on lunch today. HEE HEE & more HEEs! :D Walked to the library afterwards, & i ended up borrowing 4 books. You can estimate how heavy my bag was & how much my shoulder was hurting. But, yessssss! i've finally found book #1 of Gossip Girl series! Sadly, not book #1 of The It Girl series. Poo poo )x
Durian pancakes are awesome! (As always)

can you believe such a cool article's on the CNN website??The WORST WAYS to shake hands
10 nightmarish handshakes to avoid
To evade making a bad first impression, losing a business deal or simply embarrassing yourself, take heed of Holland and Brody's 10 terrible grips to avoid:
The "macho cowboy"... is the almost bone-crunching clasp many businessmen use to shake hands. What are they trying to prove, anyway? There's no need to demonstrate your physical strength when shaking another person's hand.
The wimp... is usually delivered by men who are afraid to "hurt the little lady" when shaking women's hands. Modern female professionals expect their male counterparts to convey the same respect they'd show their male colleagues.
The "dead fish"... conveys no power. While there's no need to revert to the macho cowboy death grip, a firm clasp is more powerful than one that barely grabs the hand.
The "four finger"... is when the person's hand never meets your palm, and instead clasps all four fingers, crushing them together.
The cold and clammy... feels like you're shaking hands with a snake. Warm up your hand first before grabbing someone else's.
The sweaty palm... is pretty self-explanatory, and pretty gross. Talcum powder to the rescue.
The "I've got you covered" grip... happens when the other person covers your hand with his or her left hand as if your shake is secretive.
The "I won't let go"... seems to go on for eternity because the other person won't drop his or her hand. After two or three pumps, it's time to let go. "It's a lot like a kiss -- you know when it's over," Brody says.
The "southpaw"... happens when the person uses the left hand to shake because the right hand has food or a drink. Always carry your drink and plate with your left hand to keep your right one free for meet and greets.
The "ringed torture"... occurs when the person's rings hurt your hand. Try to limit the number of rings you wear on the right hand to only one or two and be mindful of any that have large stones.
Oh dear, darn mosquitoes have just sucked out gallons of my precious blood, and now i'm itching all over. RAHHHHH~!
Goodbye, goodbye` {:
