chicken cooking roast time
�I wanted to know what you smarter minds thought of our failing economy and how you think we / what you think we should do to improve it. Small things, grand things - something for people to read outside of this and go ... Hnm... You know, that could work?
Here is something from my mind that Iapos;ve been mulling around and decided to finally ask you guys (Dani,�Phil, Alex).
Everytime you swipe a credit card/debit card there is a "transaction fee" to the company you swiped to.
You get gas at Shell.
You swipe.
That swipe takes 7 + 10 cents off of every gallon of gas you pump and gives it back to the credit card company as payment.
So you have to think, if they take that much from Shell - how much do they take per transaction, per swipe from other companies? Target? Wal-Mart?
You wondered why there was a minimum charge/swipe fee? This is why.
If you buy something really inexpensive and you canapos;t scrape the change together to make your purchase, so you swipe it. If itapos;s not enough money - the company you swiped from, just bought that item (in a round about way) for you. Obviously, you used your money - but they, in turn, spent more money paying the credit card company for your swipe, than you paid for your total purchase.

Today I went to the Hyatt Singapore for a Champagne Brunch, courtesy of my company of course. I went with my team mates, and it was pretty nice. Kinda reminds me a bit of that Japanese dinner buffet I had in KL some months ago which cost me RM100. Well, this one is S$120 (I think) per head... Free flow of champagne and all types of food you can think of - Jap, Western, Chinese, Mediterranean and lotsa dessert (chocolate fondue... Yummmmz).
Suffice to say I surprised my boss with my ability to scoff off more food than he initially thought. Okay, I didnapos;t eat most of the food there (like roast steak, pot roast, mashed potatoes, fresh oysters, dim sum). All I had was smoked salmon (which was really good), cold cuts, chilled seafood (prawns, mussels), salads and lotsa dessert. Come to think of it... I didnapos;t really eat the moneyapos;s worth.

I had Champagne... Canapos;t tell if I had a lot coz they kept topping it up, so we continued drinking more and more. I definitely did not get plastered (I thought I would)... But I think I had developed a distaste for alcoholic beverages. I donapos;t think Iapos;ll ever enjoy them again... Unless theyapos;re the super sweet cocktail-y type.
We wanted to get a before and after photo (before getting and hammered and after, that is)
Before... The Gang.
Thing is... No one got drunk at the end. We saw people stumbling at the end of the brunch, drunk and laughing. Some even dancing... What I noticed was, 90 of the patrons there were gweilo. Hmmm... Coincidence?
Matt and Ying ... Drunk? Nah. Just fooling about.
At approximately 4pm, we were asked to leave (Weapos;ve been sitting there for 4.5 hours... Wow) and we proceeded to the bar. Very nice place... Classy and itapos;s the type of place Iapos;d hang out if I were bloody rich. I was slowly sipping a Martini when suddenly...

TGIF, TGISaturday
Went to Hidden Falls.. It reminded me�of the times my dad wold take the three of us there.. Aww, sometimes memories are good
So my daughter told her first big lie to me..�I wonapos;t�go into specifics�but she�lied to me about her�Dad.�I�checked out her story and she�was proven worng and grounded from the park for�the weekend.
�You know, I always knew, I would blow a gasket when�I caughter her in her first lie... I so HATE lying..�I was amazed how disgusted she made me.. She told me that yesterday afternoon and it took me�until this afternoon to finally get over the anger and deal with her effectively.
Sounds extreme doesnapos;t it? Believe me, I am just as surprised as you are at my reaction..�I wasnapos;t inappropriate with my daughter, although�I think�I told her a bit too much�I was disappointed in her..�
I�mean sheapos;s 4.5 and this is the age they start.. Itapos;s�more of a difficult case because the ex and I donapos;t�communicate so she can easily play one against the other...
Oy...�I need to figure a handle for this..
Happy Saturday�

So I donapos;t get how you break up with someone and still fuck them. At least when itapos;s a long term relationship. Maybe itapos;s because they arenapos;t really broken up at all, and as per the usual, Iapos;m fucked over into being just an object of affection. But letapos;s think positive, letapos;s try and do this. Um...
Uh...
If it really is just a matter of time, how can I make it until that time without fucking it up? finding out things like this is really irratating. I wanna talk about it, but is it my place? Probably not. She gets the best of both worlds I get a half assed....
Sheapos;s just confused. She just needs me to support her, I think. I should just ignore it when I figure things out...

frisk mint commercial

last tuesday after ballroom i went to arthurapos;s seat with james and mike and the other untapped talent people.�� we played guitar and sang songs in the rain.�� good times.
last thursday i went along to the pleasance bar and joined the hot ballooning society�� so yeah, hopefully iapos;ll be able to hot air balloon soon. � met donnchadh at the pleasance bar too, and he gave me his latest story to read. � it was funny, but it was based on the silmarillion, whichi havenapos;t read, so there was lots i didnapos;t really get. � heapos;s sort of modernised it, and added in lots of science to explain the events and modern dialogue, but at the same time heapos;s managed to keep the tolkien sort of flowery language. � itapos;s really good. � but he seems to be in fine form, and comfortable with the people he was with. � nice seeing him again.
on friday i went to the tai chi dinner wiht kym. � we went for curry in kushiapos;s.� was good. � nice company too. � andy was there, and cat and the two jonathons, and some others i didnapos;t know. � went to brass monkeys afterwards for drinks with them, and had a long conversation with cat. � iapos;d also been invited to stacyapos;s flat-warming, so i headed there later. � her flat is on lonsdale terrace, where alice used to live, and like aliceapos;s old flat, hers is huuuuge � giant bedrooms about three times the size of my old one. � jealous � stacy was already pretty drunk by the time i got there, so i chatted to matt, jess and charlotte who had also come up for the party, which was nice of them. � and i met a very sweet chinese girl called nemai, who had amazing hula-hoop skills, who gave me a hug. � and a very intense young man called jim who was very nice, and very interested in genetics, and another very intense young man called eric, who was somewhat creepy and was being a bit too touchy and kissed my hand. � yuck yuck creepy � there has been a definite increase in guys trying to chat me up since i came back from greece. � maybe blondes really do have more fun. � or more pestering anyway. � met a whole bunch of very boring irish guys too. � still, it was a fun night, chatting to random strangers, and good to catch up with jess and matt. � sounds like theyapos;ve been having a brilliant adventure since greece. � � �
on saturday i went to see linlithgow.�� thereapos;s not much to see apart from the palace and church, but they are so worth it.�� highly recommend going to anyone who hasnapos;t yet.�� itapos;s gorgeous�� the palace is huge, and mostly ruined and very beautiful, and interesting.�� the loch is beautiful too.�� very nice day out.��
monday i went to camera obscura.�� itapos;s this really cool optical illusions house thing.�� itapos;s also got a giant periscope thing on the roof that lets you see all round edinburgh. � highly cool. � itapos;s got some awesome optical illusions too. � like a giant curved mirror you can reach into and see your hand reaching back at you. � creepy � itapos;s got a projection of some fish swimming through water on the floor and you can walk over it and the water ripples and the fish swim away. � highly cool � and itapos;s got a face morpher thing that turns your face into manga, or a chimp, or the last person who was in there. � itapos;s really weird � got a veyr impressive collection of holograms too. � well worth a visit.
last night i made us a yummy roast dinner. � it was good. � i made roast lamb, yorkshire pudding, sprouts and mashhed potato and celariac. � yum �
think thatapos;s all iapos;ve been doing of note. � pathetic really. � still, i have now given up on the tortoise people, so i can make some other plans. � i also read the iron man, cos i was sick of being the only person in the world who hadnapos;t read it. � it was cute.� �

After disappearing from the net for say a fortnight or so, I have managed to squeeze in quite a lot of reading, and wonders of wonders, I�read something other than British children fantasy books.
I have belatedly, very belatedly, started reading Agatha Christie. For someone who loves Sherlock Holmes to bits, this is a tad late, I admit. I completely fail. But I have wasted no time once I started, and ten Poirot novels, four Marple, three unserialised novels, two collections of short stories and three Tommy and Tuppence books later, (and I have not even made a dent into her massive collection), I am convinced that whereas she is the queen of whodunnit plots, she is horrid in what paltry attempts she had at communist/political thrillers. Tommy/Tuppence, I think falls in here. I found "Passenger to Frankfurt" interesting only in light of Herbert Marcuseapos;s One Dimensional Man - which had helped spark off youth revolutions that Christie would have experienced in her life time (and presumably disapproved) - otherwise, it was as Christie herself admits, completely fantastical, and I dare say, illogical and farcical. Poirot, in my eyes, is to Christie what Holmes is to Doyle - the ultimate creation, against which everything else falls short. Even Marple.
That said, "Ten Little Indians" ("And then there was none") was completely mindblowing even if it wasnapos;t Poirot. Any one has any other Christie title I have to read immediately? The woman is so prolific I am rather spoilt for choice.
I am not certain if they write detective novels the same way since. If there is, someone please let me know. I like Christieapos;s plots because the reader can actually attempt to guess for themselves - a genuine whodunnit - a lot of detective novels written for this modern day and age tend to be more thriller-like - where you are forced to live from page to page instead of trying to get ahead of the writer. I suppose part of it lies in the inventiveness of the likes of Doyle and Christie. After reading these classics, it is increasingly harder to come up with a plot that can outsmart the reader. For a while I thought Dan Brownapos;s Angels and Demons could attempt to meet that ingenuity, but his books became more disappointing.

"How We Got Here"
Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers
that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing there were
many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching
them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to
diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further
announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts
of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going
back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the
supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even
see a monkey, let alone catch it
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 However,
since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant
would now act as buyer, on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: apos;Look
at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I
will sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city,
you can sell them back to him for $50.apos;
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the
monkeys.
Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys
everywhere Welcome to WALL STREET.

Well... Ik zit nog te bedenken of ik dit in Nederlands of in Engels schrijven maar goed.. AT LAST.. Eindelijk maak ik een livejournal aan (ok mijn 2e). De eerste had een gebruikersnaam die ik voor al mijn andere community groepen gebruik.. En het liefst blijf ik nu anoniem.
Dus.... Wat komt hier?

-Plaatjes die ik mooi vind. Videoapos;s die ik mooi vindt. Eigenlijk zoiets als....
