bring gay or bi... makes any difference?

it beats me to ponder.... does it seriously make any difference to be a gay or a bi? either way you will somehow or rather be mixing with people who are just not straight.... besides.... i wonder if it does make any much of a difference afterall...

that aside.... got to know or rather felt heart ached to see a very close friend turning out to be a bi-sexual.... and the fact that i am around him for the past 7 to 8 years makes me feel more worse... not that we are in any way at fault.... but deep inside my egos.... i have to admit i do find a liking in him to a certain extend... which is very true till this point in time.... no matter what, it is an undeniable fact afterall....

after a few days of feeling down i have come to overcome this feeling and began to accept him as who he is... so i am back to feeling normal already... still it lingers to know why he kept it so under the table for such a long time before revealing his deepest sexuality and at the same time his boyfriend...

Blades.... + Home furnishings...

Gilette Fusion

Saw the ads of this new Gillette 5 blades + 1 trimmer at City hall station…. Makes me feel so orange… like the bright colour scheme…. Will consider getting it though the price is real steep for shaving blades… but the idea of fixing in a trimming blade makes it something I wanna get since I am going Army soon…

Frames @ IKEA…

Thinking of getting another few pieces of the frames, yet not very decided yet… will see how if should get the frames first of wait for the final outcome of my desktop soon…. I am still not very sure if I will be getting a notebook…. If I am then my desktop will be saying goodbye for now…. Which means I will have more space to put my stuff…. And that will mean time to clear up clutters on my desktop for good…. Whichever comes first… it is still a good thing…. And will finish up the Antonius storage system by this month hopefully…. Going for the IKEA Home Furnishings Sale Preview this Friday morning… yay! I think this is the time of the year where they will be clearing out old stocks or discontinued items to make room for new products this year. What about the fate of my shoe rack? Err well… I might just put it out in the corridor for plants or let mum have it for shoes…. Shall wait and see… there is ample of ways to use it well. Will be clearing out my toyogo cd containers – maybe pass them to grandma to put her medications… need some cataloging to be done – hopefully by this week..

3 blades vs 5 blades....

went to giant at vivomart and saw this interesting new product by Gillette.... - Gillette Fusion.... it has 2 types... one is a manual operated shaver while the other is a battery operated shaver. So which do u think is better... and even more intriguing is.... why not compare 3 blades versus 5 blades?

a nice combination yea? probably... since the new product has this trimmer thing that can help you trim ur sideburns... - probably a good tool since i am enlisting in the army and will probably need something like that.... and i need it fast too... the down side is... with more blades means more expensive cartridges? probably so.... but the colours of the product is just so nice in orange and blue metallic tint.... will get one after the cny period.... to experience a much closer shave... and always remember to use it with a shaving gel and aftershave... it works well....

back on the weekly dock...

once again... got my things sorted out.... now i am back to blog.... back to my old ways of mass blogging.... devoting blogs to plants.... trashing back on life... my usual blog of bitching and the list goes on.... here we are... back to Spring...

bought a plant yesterday at IKEA Tampines... first time i decided i wanted to do abit of gardening since i find the corridor abit of a boring.... heading to school soon... the topic of the week is plants...

somehow it intrigues me why humans are so into planting.... especially during festive seasons.... as it seems.... they have nothing else to do except continue with planitng non stop?

from what i guess... for the past many years.... plants have become part of our lives and especially so in Singapore where it is labelled - Garden City.... which is true in a way... with instant plants growing and sprouting everywhere... you name it and you will find it.... especially in the city areas....

as for the urban areas.... plants can be seen from apartment blocks... though not many have this habit of growing plants... however, you will see plants everywhere especially cheap ones...

so yea.... as a slip short conclusion... plants beautify our surroundings and make the place we live in a better one...

weekday: thoughts

It has been a while since my last entry to this blog... been busy for the past few days of this week working on school work and assignments... and trying to fix appointments for my upcoming projects as well as working out how best i can better manage my personal life and certain aspects of finances in life....

with all this more or less sorted out... i feel more at east and have a better objective towards what i am looking at for the next half a year to come... It may not appear as a smooth ride with bumps along the way... however, i believe it will be beneficial to me in the long run if i know how best to manage it well....

With the beginning of year 3 in Nursing... it seems things just got interesting... with the specialised skills which i pick up along the way... with plaster cast being the topic of the day... not here... maybe soon i will be adding an article on plaster cast... so that... those who have been wondering what is that thing on your friends limbs will have a rough idea what this sort of thing does and how it helps...

weekend posting: credit cards... debit cards...

with the great singapore sales still coming on... i guess... it might make some sense to talk about cards... for myself... i hold a number of debit cards... for the various bank accounts i have for different of my expenses... with the different banks... which will be the case till late 2006... anyways... i find that... after entering into the foray of debit cards since 2002... i realise that... it is always good to look at what the cards have to offer before even considering to sign up for one... - even if it give u alot of waiver in terms of membership fees. WHat matters more is how much of perks they have for the dollars you spend with them... for that instance... - CapitaCard... It gives u discount at slected retailers at capitaMalls - malls managed by CapitalMall Trust... as well as for anything you spend offline - you get 0.3% rebate which you use to redeem on purchases at participating capitaCard merchants...

for yours truely... i have plenty of clothes... thus, it makes little sense for me to spend alot of my time shopping either... especially when i don't get to wear them often either... coming to think of having the capitacard... i guess it has the pros and cons... pro being that... i get to buy things with earning cash and using these cash to redeem clothes if i want to... well... on the other hand... the cons being that... i can't redeem other things... - like say... vouchers? anyways, i still find it worthwhile investment...

what will i do with my other cards? well i will just cancel them when i they expire and focus on a minimal number of cards i have on hand. which makes alot more perfect sense to do too!

Health: Cardiac Catheterization

something for a read about certain heart procedures...

What is cardiac catheterization?

This is a procedure done on the heart. In it, a doctor inserts a thin plastic tube (catheter) (KATH'eh-ter) into an artery or vein in the arm or leg. From there it can be advanced into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries.

This test can measure blood pressure within the heart and how much oxygen is in the blood. It's also used to get information about the pumping ability of the heart muscle. Catheters are also used to inject dye into the coronary arteries. This is called coronary angiography (an"je-OG'rah-fe) or coronary arteriography (ar-te"re-OG'rah-fe). Catheters with a balloon on the tip are used in the procedure called percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (per"ku-TA'ne-us tranz-LU'min-al KOR'o-nair-e AN'je-o-plas-te) (PTCA). Catheterization is also done on infants and children to examine or treat congenital (kon-JEN'ih-tal) heart defects.
