Family

I love my family! They are there for you no matter what happens, no matter how many arguements you have gone through...

My beloved brother just painted my nails for me yesterday. I feel loved loads. I mean, how many guys would actually sit down with you and paint your nails for you? AND. its aint some sloppy job. Its a meticulous efforts done by my brother and i'm gonna flash my nails all around!!

My brothers the best boyfriend one can have! But. Obviously he cant be mine.. His gal is, in my opinion, the most blessed one around!

I love my family!

Lesson One

Lunch was highly educational.

Today we learnt about.. maggots, mexican beans and worms! Cool eh. All our conversations during lunch were so funny..

Do you know? maggots are the infants of flies? Well. Now you do!
They are, and they are commonly found in decaying matter. They are decomposers, and are unable to survive on living matter, so no worries!! There shouldnt be any problem if you accidentally consume them, though, if they supposedly only live on decaying matter, theres definately some problem with the food you were consuming. (decaying? yikes!)

One colleague ate a fruit and found a worm in the middle! However, she couldnt find any visible holes on the fruit! How did the worm get into the fruit?

Read about it somewhere, that fruit flies are able to lay eggs in fruits without visible holes. Only after a period of time, the worms/maggots/ whatever would make breathing holes (also called exit holes).

How about mexican jumping beans? Mexican jumping beans jump because there are grubs within the bean and they respond to warmth and light. causing the bean to jump when they move around in the bean..

Word for the Day

HAVOC

For no reason, i really cant spell the word HAVOC. (not now of cos)

Was having an msn conversation with a friend. and it was spelled HEVORK.

Not bad, i know its wrong but i like it! (bleah~~) i thought it went HAVORK or maybe HAVOCK... but i know its wrong too. So, i made up my mind.. to confirm the spelling with www.dictionary.com and TA DA!!

Its HAVOC. and here goes.

hav·oc ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hvk)n.
Widespread destruction; devastation.
Disorder or chaos: a wild party that created havoc in the house. tr.v. hav·ocked, hav·ock·ing, hav·ocs
To destroy or pillage.

In the excitement, i blundered.. *kok* with an exclaimation mark!

My nearby colleague heard it. Dear me just hit the table with my elbow. :(
