an apple a day. keeps the doctor away...

the medical fact of the day..

my first virgin medical fact is especially dedicated to our dear darling pres :)

Do You Know??

The medically recommended units of alcohol per week is 14 for women and 21 for men.

and just how much is one unit?

HERE is a sum which helps you calculate how many units you have drunk.

First. You need to know the strength of the drink (%ABV) and amount of liquid in millimetres. You multiply the amount of drink in millilitres by the percentage ABV, and then divide by 1,000.

so...
for example.

hmmmm say? geeesh i cant think of any particular alcohol now. how about... JACK DANIELS.
yepp let's take jack daniels for example!!! *winks*

you drink half a litre of jack daniels. the number of units consumed = 500 X 40 / 1000 = 20 units! omg. so if anyone is crazy enough. i doubt anyone is insane enuff to down 20units of JD in a day. erhhh i dont think anyone like that. do i? *ponders*

but the whole point is. it is not highly recommended to be binge drinking i.e. whacking 20 units in a day!!!

and REMEMBER. to keep your alcohol limits to the recommended units a week :)

love your liver:):)

movie reviews

DREAMGIRLS!!!!!

...all you have to do is dream...

hahha pardon the massive influx of movie reviews ;P


but seriously. when tickets are just 3.50, or even cheaper (when purchased with student beans). you cant resist the theatres seats can't you??


disclaimer before the actual review: the following review is totally unreliable. dont trust whatever i have to say. so basically either you choose to continue reading whatever crap nonsense im about to blabber in the next few paragraphs or so, or skip this entry and erh. read the rest. (which is probably not as exciting as mine though) oOoOOpss! back to the judgemental subjective review i have for this movie, this was the FOURTH movie i watched consecutively after the illusionist, ghostrider and music and lyrics.. yea it was almost BACK TO BACK so how sane and objective could i still remain to be after the whole 6 hours or so of movie watching???


and now for the review..

BEYONCE IS HOT!

i think that's about it for all that i can think of for the movie.

alright the general sypnosis is as follows:

"Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid-70s, the tale follows the rise of a trio of women--Effie, Deena and Lorrell--who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr., who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James Thunder Early. Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Though the Dreams become a cross-over phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined." -- movietickets.com

yepp so you want to know if you’re going to waste your money watching it??? i think so. but this is definitely personal. i've read lotsa reviews on the movie and they were full of praises for it.

but well dream girls is a musical.. a musical that you don’t get to see live on stage. (!!!!) You’ll be in for a lot of emotions, a lot of visual splendor (beyonce is hot!) and a lot of singing, because well… this is a musical. so DUH lotsa singing. When it’s all over, you’ll go, wow the songs in the movie were pretty awesome! their voices were simply powerful so impactful and wowww! it was just poaw! pooooow! pooonngg! and whether you liked it or not is probably going to depend upon whether you liked the singing, because there was a lot of it, because, well… this is a musical!! and comm'on, we all know beyonce and jennifer hudson can sing...

but the whole point of a movie is not simply about the singing only. you can jolly well grab the soundtracks and listen to it. what i was disappointed about was the plot. That’s all I’m saying. typical movie plot. it's kinda predictable from the very start. the change of events, the ending, the conclusion and the moral of the story. no twist of events of any sort. and the movie got a bit too draggy and boring i almost fell asleep. alright i admit its isnt that hard for me to fall asleep in the cinemas but my point is i got so fed up with the plot i actually wished these people stopped singing so the movie ends right now and i can go back home for dinner.

and you know what. it's damn sad if a musical reaches a point when the audience thinks the actresses should stop singing. 'cos it's a musical and no singing wouldnt make a musical a muscial anymore. o whatever, you get what i mean!!

Joke of the Day

One day, three man went for job interview..

The interviewer asks the first man:
“What is the fastest thing on earth"
The first man answered:
“Light! Because light travel at 299,792,458 meters per second!"
The interviewer is impressed!

The interviewer asks the second man:
“What is the fastest thing on earth"
The second man answered:
“It is my thought! Within less than 1 second, I can have so many thoughts and ideas to contribute to the company!"
The interviewer is impressed again!

The interviewer asks the third man the same question.
The third man answered:
“It must be diarrhoea!"
The interview was curious. He asked:
“Diarrhoea? Why diarrhoea??"
The third man replied:
“Well, when I got home yesterday, before I can switch on the Light and before I can think of anything! I shitted all over my pants already!”

movie review!!

BECAUSE I SAID SO

an absolute sweet light hearted chic flick that will make you go awwww and whines "ohhnoooo" along with the plot. owell at least i did :P

anyway, the ever so eyecandy Mandy Moore plays Milly, a beautiful, appealing young woman who also happens to be a fantastic cook but JUST can't find her Mr. Right. Her mother is beginning to despair that her daughter will never find a mate. So, she decides to take matters into her own hands by running an internet classified ad seeking for a "life mate" for her daughter and then screens the candidates. She finds a successful architect and contrives for him to meet Milly. The meeting is successful and they start dating. At the same time, Milly encounters musician Johnny (who's superduper uberuber cute!!!) She is soon involved with both men and can't figure out how to disentangle herself from either relationship. Jason is the better catch (think rich successful stable, with a freaking gorgeous bachelor pad!!!!) but Milly can be more herself around Johnny (who's slightly more adventurous, sexy cute fun exciting and have i not mentioned? cute??? :P) basically it revolves choosing between a boring mr nice man vs exciting bad boy. ohhh. what a choice really!!!!

anyway, despite the mummy being the overbearing overprotective over the top typical mummy figure in the movie, she illustrates a truth about mother/daughter relationships. alright maybe she overdid it a teeny bit, but i thought the whole emotional r/s was portrayed really well and i though the whole movie isnt just a senseless brainless chickflick with high cuteness index.

it's cute. it's funny. it's entertaining.

or maybe im just terribly biased. in fact i thought i may jolly well be.

o well forget about the review.

guys watch the movie for mandy moore.
girls, you wun regret when you see gabriel macht.

Movie Reviews!

Movies Galore!

For the purpose of setting up this movie column, we have gamely watched loads of movies! So here comes the reviews!

Movie 01: The Number 23
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/

The Number 23... is about a man becoming obsessed with the number 23 on his birthday February 3rd after pickin up a book entitled 23. After reading the book, Sparrows (Jim) realised the character of the book is very similar to himself and decides to link everything (such as names, date of birth, car plates, etc etc) to the number 23. In the book details a murder and as it slowly unfolds, Fingerling (the main character in the book) was a murderer before and wrote a book detailing on the murder. As it turns out... Sparrows is Fingerling! Ok.. no more spoilers... watch the movie if you must!

Basically the acting for the movie was terrific, but i can't say more regarding the plot. Personally it was a real draggy movie and that the links to the number 23 was extensive but nevertheless its kinda crappy! Watch this movie only if you are really bored and you have spare cash to spare!

Rating: 1 / 5 Jack daniels!

More reviews to come in a while!

Interesting Facts

Where is London Bridge?

Tower Bridge

Current London Bridge in London

London Bridge in California

Of course it is in London! Right?? Well that depends. Depending on which London Bridge you are referring to. London Bridge was destroyed and rebuilt for several times. In 1013, the bridge was burned down by King Aethelred in a bid to divide the invading forces of the Dane Svein Haraldsson. This episode probably inspired the well-known nursery rhyme London Bridge is Falling Down.

A new bridge was later built in 1831 but couldn't handle the ever-increasing flow of traffic across the Thames River and it was subsequently discovered that the bridge was sinking an inch every eight years. The British government soon decided to put the bridge up for sale. On 18 April 1968, London Bridge was sold to the American entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for US$2,460,000. The bridge was dismantled, and each stone was numbered. Everything was shipped 10,000 miles to Long Beach, California, and then trucked to Lake Havasu City. Those marking on the stones can still be seen today. The bridge was reconstructed and re-dedicated on October 10, 1971. Urban legend has it that McCulloch mistaken London Bridge as the more impressive Tower Bridge, but he denies it.

So technically, the Old London Bridge is in California and of course, another new bridge now stretches across River Thames. So next time when people ask you, where exactly is London Bridge. Well? It is in London, and California too, brick by brick.
