Why is the Wedding Ring worn on the 4th Finger?

Ever wonder why do we wear our wedding rings on our 4th finger?
Why not any other finger?
And why does it have to be the 4th finger on the left hand?
Why not the right hand?

Someone once told me that there is a vein in the 4th finger on our left hand that leads to the heart, thus the wedding ring is worn on the 4th finger on our left hand because our spouse is the one who won our heart over. So much so that we chose to take the vow to stay with him/her for the rest of our lives.

However, I came across this video and found its explanation really impressive.

I tried!

Really INseparable!!!!

11 11 11

Its exactly 11th November 2011, 11:11am.
11 11 11 11 11
5 elevens!

Because of the movie 11 11 11, some people feel insecure on this day and believe that something negative is going to happen.
Oh man!
Give me a break!

Its just a beautiful set of numbers and something that will never happen again in another hundred years, when it becomes 11th November 2111, 11:11am.

McDonald's Miniatures in Singapore

I was 'shouting' all over the place about how IN LOVE I am with the current McDonald's Miniatures sold in Singapore. My cousin used to be a McDonald's floor manager for almost 20years. I remember McDonald's used to have miniatures several years back too, but those were REALLY MINI! I still recall receiving them as gifts from my cousin as well when I was still a kid.

So that's the background of how I started loving miniatures. One of my Favourite birthday present of all times, other than Little Twin Stars merchandises (I am a HUGE Little Twin Stars fan) has to be the mini-sofa clay set bought by my sister many many years ago. (I think this might come as a surprise to her if she gets to read this... *smile*)

Ok, enough about my love for miniatures.

Here's the real stuff now.

McDonald's is selling the Apple Pie, Big Mac, Double Quarter Pounder, Filet-O-Fish, French Fries and Coffee miniatures since 13th January with any purchase. They are sold at $2.50 a piece or you can pay $25 to get the whole set which comes with a cardboard box for display purposes.

So I started to do my calculations in my head:
$2.50 per piece.
$25 per set.
6pieces x $2.50 = $15.00.
So the remaining $10 is the price of the cardboard box!!!
$10 for a cardboard box?!?!
NO WAY am I going to pay for that!

Little did I know that I missed the first pair of McDonald's miniatures till my sis told me this afternoon!!!
*Scream*
So I went on to check with the staff for the details of each week, and here they are:

Week 1 (13/1/2011 - 19/1/2011): Double Quarter Pounder + French Fries

Week 2 (20/1/2011 - 26/1/2011): Coffee + Filet-O-Fish

Week 3 (27/1/2011 - 2/2/2011): Apple Pie + Big Mac

Well, I got my 'Coffee' and 'Filet-O-Fish'. Yippee! *clap clap clap*

Now is the big hunt for the Double Quarter Pounder and French Fries... hope they still have left-overs in certain branches... *fingers crossed*

From my lengthy chat on my Facebook status on the left picture, you would realise that the 2nd series of McDonald's miniatures have already reached Japan.
Let's hope it comes to Singapore real soon....
I want the Mc-House!
Sooooooooo cute!
There goes my insanity..... *laugh*

Nobody-Wondergirls (H1N1 version)

Ok, I shared the Super Infectious Song 'Nobody' from Wondergirls 2 weeks ago on my weekly meme Song Sharing Sunday.

Today I 'die die got to' (Singlish way of saying 'Must') post this super cute version of the song.
Though super funny, but the message is IMPORTANT alright?!
Yes, the lyrics are different now, but the song remains infectious boy!
In fact, my boys prefer this version now!!!!
*huge laugh*

I'm adding 'Singlish' in this post because the song is soooooo Singlish....
*huge laugh*

Fellow Singaporeans --- ENJOY!
Non-Singaporeans --- Free to ask questions ok?! Always willing to answer!
*wink*

"Like Mother Like Daughter"

Nope, I'm not referring to my nieces...
And
Nope, my boys did not slit off their little elephant trunks...

Many of you know that I have permed my hair a month ago.
My 'Daughter' permed hers too!




I'm talking about my plant. *giggle*

This daughter of mine has been abused and tortured unintentionally by her mother in the past. Oh you can't blame her you know, she only had experienced with boys! *laugh*

Anyhow, this mother has learned to love and take great care of her over this one year....
but now this daughter is 'throwing tantrums' with 'twisted signs'....

Mommy has got to go find out what's the cause of this new 'misbehaviour' again... hmmmmm...

Now how many of you agree that daughters are harder to manage?! Raised hands? Anyone? Ok, guess I'm the only one....

A Frog is A Horse

If I tell you that a frog IS a horse, you'll probably knock my head.

Take a look at this:-

Now that's a FROG.
Ok, its obvious.

Do you see the horse?
No?

Tilt Your HEAD to the right.
See it?

Huh?
You don't know which side is right?
Ok, I'll tilt the picture for you then.

Now you see it?!!!
