Resolesson #1 - Don’t paint my nails before bedtime
Posted by eelainee under Just for fun, ResolessonsNo Comments
Okay, so it is tradition to start off the new year with resolutions and so I should do so too ya?
And instead of compiling a list from the beginning of the year, I shall write them down as they happen (or never happen). They shall be called Resolessons. Ha. Lame but who cares.
So here goes
Don’t paint my nails before bedtime (Image source: Getty Images)
I do that all the time. It happened again this morning in fact.
I don’t know why but I always seem to have the urge to paint my nails in the middle of the night. And usually 1-2 hours before bedtime. And as all girls should know, nail varnish takes a loooooong time to dry, even the quick drying ones.
But usually at the end of an intensive mani/pedicure session, I would be dead tired and can’t wait for them to dry thoroughly. I mean, I look kind of silly holding my fingers up to the fan also. And so i have to go to bed, when they are kind of dry, at least in my opinion and at least on the surface.
So I go to bed. Trying hard not to squish my fingers. Pulled up my blanket with my finger tips. So far so good.
Then I put my hands flat on my chest and told my fingers,
“Stay there tonight. Don’t move.”
But you know what is going to happen anyway.
Instead of smooth varnished nails, you wake up to bumpy ones, like the texture of a towel. And obviously, you can’t let them see the light of day or be caught with such ‘textured’ nails.
So I sacrificed my morning newspaper reading time to clean them off. You waste your nail polish and your remover and your cotton pads and your sense of smell. The smell of the nail polish remover isn’t the best scent in the morning.
Blame it on my stupidity.
Once again, repeat after me
Don’t paint your nails before bedtime (and ruined them with fabric marks and spend the morning cleaning them off).
Before I go, let’s learn some chinese.
This is hilarious, can!!!!
Mid week mid week mid week mid week!

Yea, the status updates on Facebook really does reflect my year, kindda.
my year as presented in FB status updates
Proj Bear has since been completed. And the man has bought a frame for me from Ikea. For once I am going display my cross stitch properly.
For the past 8 years, I have been telling myself to complete the pattern every other day but to no avail. Definitely glad that I have managed to follow through my resolution and finished it before 2010.
I think it goes to show, it doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. Things happen, you just have to be patient and do whatever necessary.
This will be my guiding principle for 2010.
Working towards a betttttter future. 
Happy New Year!

Lunching with the office people is a fun affair! Yesterday, we went to Mary Kafe for some home cooked Eurasian/Peranakan food.

Please to meet you, bowels and some other airlines stories
Posted by eelainee under Just for fun, Say it with pictures1 Comment
One fine evening, I was heading for dinner and passed by the HDB hub while a notice caught my attention. I made a u-turn and couldn’t help but let out a little laugh.
IBS
It is just kind of in your face isn’t it. I wonder what they talk about during the forum. And I was just thinking that they could have come up with another name for the forum. But, hey, why hide the obvious right.
A check on the IBS support group website shows that the problem affects one in 10 Singaporeans and is the second most common reason for being absent from work, with the first being the common cold. Scary, I didn’t know.
And this reminded me of a true story about a man who sat next to the lavatory on an airplane. He even wrote a complain letter to the airline depicting his experience on seat 29E. Here is his story, in the original form.
Totally hilarious. The man must have a very good sense of humor. Otherwise, he would not be able to pen the letter in such, in my opinion, optimism. But seriously, if he can actually reach out from his seat and be able to touch the door of the toilet, it must have been pretty darn near. Trust the engineers to think of this.
And then there is another airline story. This has surfaced again recently due to the Air France crash.
flying out....
gapping hole...
I have received several versions of this story. Some say it is the Air France crash, and another one, refers this to the GOL B737 crash with a Embraer Legacy. Apparently the memory card was found among the debris and was mircalously undamaged. Is there truth in either of these stories?
A quick check on the net reveals that while the latter story of the Embraer Legacy crash is true, the photos were not from the accident.
Where are the photos from then?
Lo and behold.
They are from…………
The popular TV series, LOST.
Seriously.
Fans of the drama series will quickly recognize the woman using the oxygen mask in the left of the pictures as “Kate” (Evangeline Lilly), one of Lost’s pivotal characters. The slumped figure beside her is “Edward Mars” (Fredric Lehne) the U.S. Marshal who was escorting Kate back to the United States as his prisoner. Kate’s status as a prisoner is shown by her handcuffs, which are clearly visible in the images. Virtually identical images of Kate and the Marshal during the crash sequence can be Lost promotional video and elsewhere on the Internet.
Check out this link for the video….
No wonder I found it familiar when I first received the images earlier this month. Ha..
Never, ever believe all that you see online…
