I fell in love

When i first set eyes on ur brillance

Too pretty to hold

Too expensive to buy

Now my heart is sunken

I'm not cheap! I knew that long ago.

Your result for What's Your Price?...

I'm worth $939 million! (18 dealbreakers.)

You're really, really expensive!

If we put you on the market, it looks like you'd be worth $939 million. Of the 42 different scenarioes, you said you couldn't be bought on 18 of them.

For the record, every time you refused to do something for any amount of money, it added another $50 million to your score (hey, I had to assign it SOME sort of dollar value).

So, you're not easily bought. To score in this category, you must have said NO to close to half of the questions. You were probably okay with some of the more innocuous stuff, but where you were being offered money at the risk of permanently affecting yourself or screwing over a friend, it was much harder for you to say yes. It's easy for people to insist that they're not easily swayed by money, but it your case it seems that's actually the truth - and that probably makes you someone people can put a great deal of trust in. You stick to your principles more strongly than most people do, and that's something to be proud of!

Feel superior. Next to you, most people look sort of cheap.

The Ancient

38% Ancient, 6% Medieval, 19% Modern and 38% Post-Modern!

Congratulations! You are: an Ancient!

Ancient philosophers share an unabashed elitism. Although the Greeks are considered to have invented democracy, they would have laughed to scorn many of our 21st-century democratic ideas. Ancient moral philosophy is slightly more hedonistic than anything that followed it; the Ancients had strict ideas about right and wrong, but the obsessive pursuit of perfection, the compulsive need to do one’s duty no matter the cost, belong to later eras. Being good was neatly tied up in the Ancient mind with being happy.

Rather than criticizing the work of their predecessors, Ancient philosophers found themselves alone in a bold new world. Their first attempts at studying the world are still some of the best. This is the era of Herodotus, the father of history, Euclid, the father of mathematics, and Plotinus, the father of meaningless metaphysical bullshit.

Some typical ancient philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, Herodotus, Euclid

Some ancient artists: Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Pindar, Sappho, Praxiteles

Typical ancient art forms: epic poetry, lyric poetry, farce, satire, sculpture, dialogue

Buffet Buffet

I was watching Mediacorp's Channel 8 programe Buffet Buffet (it's a show about where to get the best buffet deals, duhz) in the evening. And i saw this, Shangri-La's The Rose Veranda's dessert buffet! What caught my attention wasn't really the desserts (Okie, okie, it was. Who am i kidding? The desserts look fabulious! :P), but the variety of tea they serve there. An amazing 102 blends of tea! Cool! I love tea (and coffee for that matter, and alcohol and...). If i didn't remember wrongly, the buffet costs $28++ inclusive of the free flow of tea! I wanna gooooooo.... Date anyone?

The only down side to this is Shangri-La is not exactly very convenient to get to and the buffet is only available on weekday afternoons. So u either have to apply leave or get an MC! Haha!

I shop, therefore, I am.

Went out today to run some errands and grab some groceries but who knows.... i got waylaid. By who? It's more like what. By bling bling shops, that's what. So instead of groceries, i got myself a nice bracelet. If u see someone wearing the bracelet below, it just might be me. :)

Now, if only i had a date to wear it out to. Hmmm...

My passion

I was out for tea with a friend who recently is 'unemployed by choice' (meaning resigned for the uninitiated) and she asked me what can she do to keep herself entertained. The conversation went something like this:

Fren: I am glad i resigned, i was seriously hating my job. But i am soooo bored now, and it's only been 1 week! What do u do to entertain yourself??

Me: I go shopping!

Fren: Got so many things to buy meh?

Me: Of cos! There are always things to buy! Any shop i walk into, i also can find something to buy!

Fren: But it's always the same stuff wat, how many times can u shop in orchard road or city hall?? Same shops, different outlets only wat. They are all selling the same things!

Me: NO! It's different wat. U can't finish all the shops in 1 day so every day it's different shops. Must learn to plan and rotate ur shopping so u see different things!

Fren rolls eyes.

Fren: Then where do u store all the stuff u bought?? I hate to see many things in my home.

Me: I operate on the 'first in, first out' basis, meaning when i buy something, i always go home and throw out something which i dun like. This way there is always an equilibrium! :)

Fren rolls eyes again.

Fren: U know, when u talk about shopping, your eyes seriously lit up. I think it's your passion. I need to find mine.

Me: Hahahaha...

Yeah, my passion. Now, if only my wallet feels the same way. Hahaha!

Brainless body or bodiless brain?

I was trying to make myself a cup of tea just now when the below happened.

Brain: Send signal to tell hand to put cup under thermoflask.
Hand: Refuse to move.
Brain: Received signal that cup is under thermoflask.
Brain: Send signal to press for hot water.
Hand: Press hot water.
Brain: FUCK!
Mouth: Fuck!

Luckily, no part of me was scalded by the hot water. It just shows how disconnected is my brain from my body and vice versa. Duhz!

I need a brain transplant!
