Urgh, can't really stand my appointment in the army. Yes I am blur, and can't pay attention to every thing that is required of me, but you don't have to deliberately have everyone telling me that I'm not doing very well in a roundabout manner! Everyday I face the prospect of having to hear small negative comments (they do it in a sarcastic way yet not showing that they are being unfriendly) of me not living up to the expectations of my job. Gosh even the toughest rock will be worn out by the constant rain won't it? God, I'm so drained constantly trying to smile and laugh it off.



I miss my non-army friends! (No no! Don't get the wrong idea, I don't categorise my friends.) And my family too! Heelim hurry back!



So far Tiawan has been pretty enjoyable. sitting in the humvee cruising the streets of Taiwan to send ration has been very eye-opening. It looks very similar to JB and KL though. I've been hearing stories of stalls in Tainan that sells this sort of weird looking and tasting food called "Bing Lang" (correct me if I'm wrong.) Apparently these stores are very famous and popular because of their unorthodox, yet effective methods of enticing customers to buy their goods.



I'm not very sure if it's true, (if it IS true, I DEFINITELY want to have a look. Err no hidden agenda about that.) but I'm told that there will be super-hot-nose-bleeding babes will sell this weird tasting good and after every purchase you are allowed to grab their boobs and mould it like you mould dough...



Ok not really, but yea you are allowed to grope em for a while! Hell yea let's (rhyme bosoms with something) Who's to say that these business will fail despite it's ill tasting product. Though I have not personally tried this edible THING, the reaction from my colleagues is a good enough deterrent.



(Ok let's pause here for a bit... Let the guys fantasize about those grope-able bosoms.)



Crazy daisies! Taiwanese sure are one horny bunch of people. I've been seeing and hearing so much stories related to sex that I'm beginning to think that prostitution isn't such a taboo as everyone makes it out to be anymore. Just outside my camp has a few whore houses already. And yes! I've seen a few of them hawking their wares after last light with their fat mama-sans. (These are the main attractions when we're on our way sending rations.) Oh and how about a price quote for those soulja boys?



1200 NT - 20 mins of heaven, which equates to about S$60.

AND if you know people around here:
1000NT for 2 hrs, that's about 50 bucks.

Don't ask me how I know all these prices so well. I'm just the guy who happened to be there listening at the right time and right place. Really.

That's all.

Well I'm off to feed the hungry souls out there doing sentry again. It's time to oggle at the prostitutes and breathe in the wonderful smell of XIANG JI PA!!

"Tell him I have a tiger down in my pants!" says my indian friend to me to translate to our taiwanese driver.

Ingnorance.

Hey hey hey!

I've been reading this book, "The Book of General Knowledge" by John Lloyd and John Mitchinson and I tell you is uber interesting. It's a must read! I urge you to pick yourself off that executive roller chair you're in (cause I know you're definitely not fit to be one) and roll yourself to the library to get your hands on one.

Here's a few articles which I found pretty interesting. Not sure if YOU might find it interesting but... Hey you think I care??


How many penises does a European earwig have?

a. Fourteen
b. None at all
c. Two (one for special occasions)
d. Mind your own business

The answer is c. The European or black earwig carries a spare one in case the first one snapps off, which happens quite frequently. Both penises are very brittle and relatively long; (LOL. Aww that's just so sad. Looks great, but it's not living up to it's look.) at just under a half inch in length, they are often longer than the earwig itself. (Now imagine a human being made like that! Bet they have to modify our clothing just to house such a monstrous thing.)

Two gentlemen at Tokyo Metropolitan University discovered this when one of them playfully pinched a male earwig's rear end during the act of sexual intercourse. (Who? The gentlemen or...? Kinky.) Its penis snapped off inside the female, but miraculously it produced a backup. (That's very useful.)

What Edison invention do English speakers use every day?

The word hello.

Edison suggested that the best way of starting a conversation by telephone was to say "hello" because it "can be heard ten to twenty feet away." He used to shout "hello!" into telephone receivers at Menlo Park Labs while he was working on improvements to Alexander Graham Bell's prototype telephone. His habit spread to the rest of his co-workers and then to telephone exchanges until it became common usage. Before "hello" was used, telephone operators used to say, "Are you there?" or "Who are you?" or "Are you ready to talk?" (LOL! Let's try greeting each other with a "are you ready to talk" next time eh?)

How many senses does a human being have?

At least 9.

Besides the 5 senses we have:

1. Thermoception, the sense of heat (or its absence on our skin.)
2. Equilibrioception - our sense of balance-which is determined by the fluid-containing cavities in the inner ear.
3. Nociception, the perception of pain from the skin, joints, and body organs. Oddly, this does not include the brain, which has no pain receptors at all. Headaches, regardless of the way it seems, don't come from inside the brain.
4. Proprioception, or "body awareness." This is the unconscious knowledge of where our body parts are without being able to see or feel them. For example, close your eyes and waggle your foot in the air. You still know where it is in relation to the rest.

Some argue that there are more than nine and up to twenty-one. What about hunger? Or thirst? The sense of depth, or the sense of meaning, or language? Or the endlessly intriguing subject of synaesthesia, where sense collide and combine so that music can be perceived in colour? And waht about the sense of electricity, or even impending danger, when your hair stands on end?

Where was baseball invented?

England.

Baseball (originally base ball) was invented in England and first named and described in 1744 in A little Pretty Pocket Book.

What was Mozart's middle name?

Wolfgang.
His full name was Johann Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. He usually called himself Wolfgang Amade (not Amadeus) or Wolfgang Gottlieb.

What drives human sperm wild?

The smell of Lily Of the Valley.

It appears sperm have "noses" which they use to navigate toward a woman's egg. Researches experimented with a range of floral fragrances and lily of the valley came out on top, getting the random sperm wriggling in the same direction at twice the normal speed.

What did Atlas carry on his shoulders?

Not the world but the heavens. Atlas was condemned to support the sky by Zeus after the Titans revolted against the Olympians. However, he is often shown holding up something that looks like the globe, most famously on the cover of a collection of maps by the Flemish geographer Mercator.
