is aptly named. Diameter is approximately 10 inches!!
Unless you are Fred Flinstone, this "ashtray" is bigger

ashtray priced so high, but when we saw it our jaws dropped! Must
see and must have! And at that size, YES, it's a dish!

The Art of T-Shirt Folding
This is even better than those folding devices which boasts of folding your clothes in under 5 seconds. But I guess the secret technique below is only applicable to T-shirts -_-;
Start by laying the Tshirt flat and sideways in front of you, neck opening to your right. Find the centerpoint on the far side and pinch it with your left hand, about two inches in from the far edge.
With your right hand, draw a line from your left hand to the right edge of the tshirt, parallel to the edge of the shirt. This brings your right hand to the neck-opening side of the shirt. Grasp the edge with your right hand.
Now while maintaining your grip, cross your right hand over your left, towards the opposite (waist-opening) end of the tshirt. Maintain the same imaginary line you've been working on (about two inches from the far edge of the thsirt, parallel to the edge) and add the new edge to the grasp of your right hand.
This is where the magic happens. Simply uncross your hands and extend them in front of you, lifting the shirt perpendicular to the floor.
Complete the fold by letting the loose arm hole drop to the floor and folding the shirt in half over it!
Breathe deeply and contemplate the terrible beauty you have wrought.
If the written instructions seem too complicated, you can also watch a video here.

Arghhhh!!!!
Fuck FUck FuCk FucK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night, my computer went blank for no apparent reason.. I mean the monitor's working fine (I've tested it) but nothing shows up on screen.
I guess there's only 2 possiblities now:
1) My graphic card is spoilt
OR
2) My mainboard is screwed
I really hope it's the first one, cos my previous experience with exchanging/replacing mainboard took more than 2 months! Can you believe it? And it was supposed to be fast already considering the amount of emails and phonecalls I've been shooting at the "friendly" people at corbell.. they're goddamn "helpful" I would say.. -_-;
So anyways, I managed to fix up a spare comp for temporary usage but I feel that it's sooooooooo slow (Pentium III 866Mhz) compared to the current one (Pentium 4 2.66Ghz) *Sigh* shall not complain too much now, will have to go office tomorrow and take back my spare graphic card to test it... really hope it'll work *cross fingers*!!
This morning was din's ROM day. Woke up late (due to fixing up of my spare comp) and was nearly late becos the blur taxi driver missed the turn before Funan. But luckily I managed to arrive on time.. 1153hrs to be exact (their appointment was at 1155hrs). After that, went inside.. watch them exchange their vows, put on their rings, pronounced Mr & Mrs Cheng and then took a few photos and went down to Regent Hotel to have buffet. Then we ate for almost 3hrs before deciding to go to Centrepoint to look at curtains. After which, more walking.. window shopping.. Tangs Studio was having some sale and Mango got new clothes.. in the end, sat down at coffeebean for a drink with jackson, his sister, din and amy.
Lastly it was down to Dempsy Road to look at furnitures and jackson's sis wanted to eat durian (she thinks of me as her durian buddy ?!? Cos when she asked me whether I eat durian or not and I said yes, and she went like,"oh great! finally found someone to eat durian with me!!" (double DUH) not that I've a craving for durians anyway.. but I shall not be rude. In the end, turns out that the stall at Dempsy Rd wasn't open *phew* and so we went home. Hah.. I guess I really summarized todae's events quite well... shall go for dinner now, can't stand this spare comp.. blardy slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

4 Things He Doesn't Dare Tell You
No matter how many conversations and Q&A sessions you've shared, every guy has certain details about his life that he considers off-limits -- even to you. Learning about them now can actually help you understand him better and keep you from freaking out if you accidentally trip on them one day. So at the risk of being hunted down, killed, and dried for jerky by my fellow males, I reveal the hidden truths your man doesn't want you to know.
1. He has a stash of porn.
I know what you're thinking: "Not my man." But it's a cold hard fact: Even the nicest guys like nasty entertainment. "Porn lets me explore sexual avenues that are unavailable to me in real life," says Adam, a bona fide nice guy from Washington, D.C.
Not convinced? Do the math. Triple-X films are a multibillion-dollar-a-year industry. That's about one video for every grown-up man and woman in America. But when was the last time you plunked down a piece of your paycheck for Jurassic Pork or Snatch Adams? My point exactly -- your significant other is buying enough for the both of you.
2. He wants more oral sex.
Okay. You know he loves it, but you might not have any idea just how much. Men are simple creatures with three basic needs: food, shelter, and blow jobs. But he won't ask for more for fear of seeming self-centered. "I'm afraid that making that request would probably be the end not only of oral sex but of all sex," says Eric from New York City. So treat oral sex like a vitamin, and give it to him once a day. He's sure to repay the favor.
3. He hates it when you're more successful than he is.
Even if he said he was proud of you when you landed that paycheck-fattening raise or corner-office promotion, he's pissed that you're moving on up faster than the Jeffersons.
See, guys are supposed to be the breadwinners, but now women are often earning just as much money and respect as men are, if not more. And this growing gender equality is doing a Lorena Bobbitt on his psyche.
But he'll never confide this to you. Any guy who revealed his not-so-progressive feelings would risk coming off like a Neanderthal. Until we get over this (yes, sexist) attitude, try not to flaunt the fact that you're in a higher tax bracket.
4. He's more loyal to you than he is to his buddies.
Never mind what you've heard. The only thing guys talk about in the locker room is sports. In general, men are far more zip-lipped about intimate sexual details than you think we are -- especially if we care about you. "It's better to smile and let them imagine what must have happened," says Steve from Boston.
We're less interested in bragging about our bedroom exploits in the spirit of male bonding than we are about deepening our bond with you. But don't expect your man to divulge this secret. Men are taught to stick together. By choosing you, we've betrayed our own kind. And that's just something we'd rather not admit -- to anyone.

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman
To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotto know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
N' give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cos she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
To really love a woman
Let her hold ya
Till you know how she needs to be touched
You gotto breathe her
Really taste her
Till you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cos she needs somebody to tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
You got to give her some faith
Hold her tight
A little tenderness
You gotto treat her right
She will be there for you
Taking good care of you
You really got to love your woman
And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman
You tell her that she's the one
Cos she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really, really really ever loved a woman..
One of my favourite tracks from Bryan Adams.. passé? Nah I don't think so, great tunes grow better through time.. just like good wines :) I didn't really watch Don Juan DeMarco, only caught parts of it. But I like the way the story goes, with Johnny Depp as Don Juan (John DeMarco)... some people say that the ending is abit ambiguous cos it wasn't clear whether was he, or was he not Don Juan. IMO he's just delusional but I really guess it's not important afterall.. life is what you make of it. Either you can be cynical or you can embrace the beauty of the world. That's what Don Juan is, he's a physical representation of Passion in it's purest form (minus the claim that he had 1500 lovers -_-; ) So whether you choose "reality" over "fantasy" or vice versa, it simply depicts what your state of mind is now. Darn.. makes me feel like getting the dvd :)
