50 Ways to Cut 500 Calories a Day

If you ate too many chocolate-covered cherries, or indulged in more eggnog that you shoud've, you're not alone. If you fell off your diet wagon over the holidays, don't panic. Jump back on and get rolling again with these great ideas to recover from your indulgences.

The most basic way to lose weight is to slash calories. That’s Diet 101. But how many do you really have to cut or burn to see results? It’s simple: You can drop a pound a week by trimming 500 calories each day. (Calories burned are based on a 150-pound woman.)

In fact, do a couple of swaps a day and you can drop 10 pounds in five weeks! So try these 50 easy tweaks—and get the slim body you want in no time.

1. Shake your groove thing. Dance for just two hours and torch 500 calories. (A little air guitar will burn a few extra calories, too.)

2. Get enough sleep. A lack of shut-eye can make you snack, new research from the University of Chicago shows. People who got only 5 1/2 hours of sleep noshed more during the day. Snooze more and save about 1,087 calories.

3. Don’t eat in front of the TV. You’ll eat up to 288 calories more, according to research from the University of Massachusetts. Instead, eat at the table, and trade one hour of TV for a casual walk. Together, that’s 527 calories burned.

4. Get in tune with your tummy. Pay attention to how full you feel, and put down your fork when you’re satisfied. Listen to your body’s cues—instead of looking at whether the plate is clean—and save up to 500 calories a day.

5. Limit dinner guests. Eating with seven or more other guests can make you eat 96 percent more food, says Brian Wansink, Ph.D., author of Mindless Eating. That’s like doubling your dinner! Dine with fewer guests to save 500 or more calories.

6. Simple tricks to fill up (with less!). For breakfast, eat two boiled or poached eggs. (You’ll feel fuller and eat about 416 fewer calories the rest of the day.) Before lunch and dinner, enjoy 1 cup low-cal soup. (You’ll eat about 134 calories less at each meal.) And save a total of 684 calories for the day.

7. Limit salad toppings. A big salad might seem healthy, but all those goodies on top can make it more calorie-laden than lasagna or fettuccine Alfredo. Cheese crumbles, caramelized nuts, bacon, avocado, dried fruit, croutons and vinaigrettes can add lots of calories. Save 500 or more calories by having just one topping, adding flavorful but lower-cal veggies (roasted bell peppers, grilled onions, or mushrooms) and using half the dressing.

8. Don’t clean your plate. Leave 25 percent of your food on the plate at every meal, says weight-loss expert James O. Hill, Ph.D., author of The Step Diet. If you normally eat 2,000 calories or more each day, you’ll cut 500 calories.

9. Use smaller plates. Swap your 12-inch plate for a 10-inch one. You’ll eat 20 to 25 percent less—and save up to 500 calories. You won’t feel any less full, either, researchers say.

10. Serve and sit. Family-style meals, with platters and bowls of food on the table, invite people to go back for seconds and thirds. Cut hundreds of calories by filling plates before bringing them to the table; leave serving dishes in the kitchen, too.

11. Make a swap. Use 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt instead of 1 cup heavy cream in a favorite baking recipe. Save 684 calories.

12. Make mine a mini. Check out menus for small versions of great desserts, so you can dodge calo­ries and end your meal on a sweet note. P.F. Chang’s Great Wall of Chocolate (designed for one diner!) is 1,440 calories. The Mini Great Wall? A chocolatey yet svelte 150 calories. You’ll save 1,290-calories.

13. Ditch that buttered movie popcorn. Yes, the large popcorn at the concession stand weighs in at a whopping 1,005 calories. Smuggle in your own (microwave-popped, 94 percent fat-free, of course) and save more than 700 calories.

14. Count your chips (and crackers). No, you can’t eat your snacks from a large bag or box because it’s waaaay too tempting to eat until the bag is empty. (Remember Oprah’s blue corn–tortilla chip confession?) A chip-bender to the bottom of a 9-ounce bag is 1,260 calories sans the dip. So stick to one serving, about 15 chips—that’s 140 calories—or pick up some 100-calorie snack packs and save 1,120 calories.

15. Step away from the nuts, especially if they’re in a big bowl. The bigger the serving bowl, the more you’ll eat, Cornell University researchers say. Nuts have heart-healthy fats, but they’re also high in calories: One handful (about 1 ounce) of oil-roasted mixed nuts has 175 calories; three handfuls have 525. Cut out nuts altogether and save more than 500 calories. Can’t resist ’em? Eat pistachios: Two handfuls are just 159 calories, and the shelling will slow down your munching.

16. Skip the whip—or at least size it down. Dessert-like coffee creations can contain as many as 670 calories, with large sizes and options like whipped cream, whole milk and syrups. Craving whipped cream? Try it on a shot of espresso for a total of just 30 calories. You save 640 calories!

17. Kick the soda habit. A 12-ounce soft drink has about 150 to 180 calories. If you down two or three a day, you’re getting lots of extra calories. Quench your thirst with water and save as many as 540 calories.

18. Drink sugar-free. A 20-ounce tea with added fruit juices can have 400-plus calories. And Southern-style sweet tea isn’t much better than soda: a 16-ounce bottle of syrupy sweet tea has 180 calories; three of those are 540 calories. Choose sugar-free sips and save more than 400 calories.

19. Skinny up cocktails. Syrups, sour mix, sugary fruit juices and creamy additions turn drinks into desserts: an indulgent Mudslide can have more than 800 calories. Order drinks mixed with club soda, tonic water, cranberry juice or a squeeze of citrus; or try distilled liquors on the rocks. You’ll save up to 800 calories.

20. Eat less pasta. One cup of pasta is just 220 calories. But typical dinner portions at restaurants can be as much as 480 percent larger than that 1 cup, according to New York University research. That’s 1,056 calories. Even if you eat 2 whole cups of noodles, you’ll still save 616 calories.

21. Get out your knitting needles. An afternoon of knitting can burn more than 500 calories (at a rate of about 100 an hour).

22. Clean house. Tidy up for 2 1/2 hours and burn 510 calories.

23. Check the number of servings in a dish. The calorie count on the menu for shrimp fried rice may say 350 calories per serving, but what’s set in front of you may actually contain four servings. Split it with three friends, and save 1,050 calories.

24. Beware the healthy-food trap. People let their guard down when the menu is full of healthy fare, underestimating calories by as much as 35 perecnt, research by the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab shows. You’re also more likely to order drinks, sides and desserts with up to 131 percent more calories when you have a healthy entrée. Skip caloric sides—a cookie, chips—to save 500-plus calories.

25. Build a lean burrito—and you’ll save 630 calories. Here's how:

Instead of a flour tortilla, order lettuce.
Instead of cheese, order guacamole.
Instead of ground beef, shredded pork.
Instead of black beans, order pinto beans.
Instead of rice, order corn salsa
Instead of salsa, order pico de gallo
The reduced calorie options add up to 490 calories—down from 1,120.

26. Think small at the ice cream shop. Even if you indulge in your favorite full-fat flavor, you’ll save as many as 550 calories with a 5-ounce size instead of a 12-ounce.

27. Think thin when it comes to pizza. Eat two slices of a medium thin-crust veggie pizza (360 calories) instead of two slices of a large, meaty deep-dish pizza (940 calories) and save 580 calories.

28. Beware hidden oils. Ask to have your food cooked with a little stock instead of oil, or order steamed or poached entrées: you’ll save 124 calories per tablespoon of oil. Also, have the kitchen skip oils added at the last minute like basil oil or chive oil, and save another 40 calories per teaspoon.

29. Order spaghetti with meat sauce instead of spaghetti with Italian sausage and save 560 calories. Even better: Order mushroom ravioli (670 calories) or pasta marinara (430 calories).

30. Nix that smoothie a day. A large 32-ounce smoothie can have 800 or more calories. That really adds up if you’re having on-the-go breakfast several times a week. Instead, try a filling lower-calorie starter of oatmeal with brown sugar and banana slices, and a cup of black coffee. You’ll save 518 calories.

31. Help a friend move. You’ll burn more than 600 calories in one hour of carrying boxes and furniture up and down the stairs.

32. Shovel snow. Clearing the driveway and sidewalks for one hour and 15 minutes will torch 510 calories.

33. Ice-skate for one hour and five minutes and burn 516 calories. (Or go inline skating and slash 562.)

34. Tap your foot. Your skinnier friends are probably fidgeters, who burn up to 350 calories a day just by tapping their feet or being restless. Try it for a few days. Walk around while you’re on the phone, or tap out a tune with your hands or feet (in the privacy of your own office, of course).

35. Be the hostess with the mostest. Go grocery shopping for one hour, put away your groceries, spend two hours cooking a fabulous holiday feast, set the table and serve. Then toast yourself for the awesome 640 calorie-burn. (A glass of champagne is only about 106 calories, so you’re still ahead.)

36. Go window-shopping. Whether you buy anything or not, an afternoon of walking around and trying on clothes can torch 548 calories.

37. Hit the pool. Do one hour of laps or 55 minutes of jogging in the water to burn 500 calories.

38. Stroll your way slim. Spend an afternoon pushing junior from the giraffes to the sea lions at the zoo (or around the aquarium or museum) and burn 523 calories.

39. Head to a county fair or amusement park. You’ll slash 612 calories in three hours from the casual walking and standing in lines. (Subtract 105 calories if you have cotton candy.)

40. Play a game of touch football or basketball with your kids for one hour and burn 500 calories.

41. Head for the nearest hill. Go sledding with the kiddos for one hour and five minutes. You’ll burn 500-plus calories.

42. Do an hour of circuit training and you’ll burn 544 calories.

43. Tackle the garage. Clearing out junk for 1 hour and 30 minutes will burn 510 calories.

44. Rake the leaves. Do yard work for 1 hour and 45 minutes and burn 512 calories. (Jumping in the leaf pile won’t hurt, either.)

45. Kickbox. Sign up for kickboxing and burn 510 calories in a 45-minute class.

46. Go cross-country skiing for one hour and five minutes and sizzle off 516 calories.

47. Exercise at home. Pop in a one-hour aerobics DVD, and finish with 20 minutes of yoga—500 calories, gone.

48. Walk or run a 10K and you’ll burn up to 680 calories.

49. Go hiking. Just one hour and 15 minutes will burn 510 calories.

50. Cut down your own Christmas tree. Hike out, find the perfect tree, cut it, and take it home. Put it up and decorate it for 1 hour to burn 519 calories.

I know it's pretty obvious. If you cant find the mistake, ask on the cbox.

Anyone know Muse? They have a song called Uprising. I'm not gonna critisize much about the song, i love the song by the way, but i want to share this funny video with you guys. You know how they always do it in reality TV shows where they invite singers to the show but lip-sync?

This is the part i like. They completely made fun of the whole thing and switched instruments and parts with one another, and none of them actually plays what they play in this video. The drummer in this video is actually Matthieu Bellamy, who is supposed to be the original lead singer, and the drummer turns into a bassist and lead singer, and the bassist still plays the bass but he plays the keyboard part as well (in which he wasn't supposed to).. LOL.

For reference, here's the original arrangement. Live version.



Here's the video! A translation is provided at the sidebar of the original link. Not gonna waste too much space on the blog, if you guys are interested in what the interview says, click on the youtube! btw, the interview is almost equally funny.



Personally i liked the part where Matt. B. forgot to play the drums at 1:58-2:01. Pretty funny. LOL.


Yes it is completely outrageous. And nobody from the show even noticed. By the way, if you haven't noticed, the DRUMMER got interviewed. PWNED.

Thanks amos!

Triple post!!!

This is a hokkien song made by someone i don't know from youtube. Pretty funny stuff.

This video makes physics so interesting.


P.S. If you have seizure problems DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share with you guys something that i only learnt today while surfing youtube for videos. I had never known that when an object breaks the sound barrier, it would create a cone of vapour, which is also known as the Prandtl–Glauert singularity. This is caused by the pressurised water vapour turning into liquid, or you can even call it instant clouds.

Here's a video that shows the effect.



You also realise that because the plane has been travelling at or near the speed of sound, the sound comes in all together as a massive boom, which is also known as a sonic boom.

Hope you guys were as amazed as me.

Wanted to share a very hilarious video that my friend linked on facebook.



The guy dancing the sorry sorry not bad. hahaha

Everyone knows lady gaga's Poker Face right? She did an acoustic version and people are really making fun of it. Check this out.



Here's the original video.

Why school teachers are so stress!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Irritating monkey!

"KAN PEI"

Once there was a Chinese wedding dinner. The dinner occupied only half the restaurant. The other half was occupied by some American tourists.

As the wedding Chinese couples hop from table to table to toast the guests, the cheers of " KAN PEI .. " (happy & joyous drinking) gets louder and louder.

One American gets more and more irritated as the couple get closer to him. " KAN PEI ...!" " KAN .... PEI ".....!!!" The cheers continued.

Finally, the irritated American couldn't take it anymore. He stood up on his chair and shouted. "OK! OK! I HEAR YOU.. IF YOU CAN'T PAY, THEN LET ME PAY FOR YOU...!"


Recieved it from an email. lol

How to take good photos of yourself. Lol!

FAIL.




By the way, for those who don't already know, Ris Low has withdrawn from representing Singapore in the Miss World pageant. Phew!

Some might know the new miss singapore world Ris Low, some might not. Anyway, know her or not, you'd probably know her if you've watched this video...



Well, there's been much negative critisism and many have made fun of the new term she created, "booms". Though she's not the most favourited miss singapore, but she had become quite popular even though it's not for a good reason. Many don't feel that she should represent Singapore, saying she's an embarassment. Here's a video of the same interviewer interviewing people on the streets...



Here's one of what i feel is a better remixes of the "booms" they use in the song...



Here's one of the older remixes, from discovery channel's Boomdiada.

I got bored. So i decided to photoshop some funny photographs that i took long ago...

These are crazynuts originals.

Some of the funniest animal videos on youtube...

You remember the parents' day episode of Hey Arnold? Yeah i was attempting to play Arabesque 1 by Debussy really slowly that day, and my sis told me it sounded like this one. Well actually I don't think so, but thinking back i thought that this piece was very nice too. I decided to search it again and decided to try playin it on piano. Apparently it's quite simple, and i know i din't play perfectly, plus my camera was really bad. Anyway, here ya go. It's not perfect, but i hope you guys won't be too disgusted by my playing. =)

This one's the original:


And this played by me:


And albert's missing. I wonder where has he been...

I recieved an email from a friend named Wen Ting. It's probably one of those chain letter jokes. But i found it pretty funny, and i'd like to share it with those who probably haven't read it before...


Lunchtime is Lunchtime


The office phone rings, one of the employees picks up and says:
"What kind of an idiot is it that dares to phone me in the middle of my lunch break?!?"

The caller shouts back:
"Do you have any idea whom you are talking to...? I am the CEO of this company!"

The employee replies:
"Do you have any idea whom YOU are talking to?"

Perplexed the CEO mumbles: "NO!!!"

The employee heaves a sigh of relieve and say: "Thank goodness for that!!" and hangs up.



P.S. Happy 09/09/09! HUAT AH!

WE ARE COMING BACK SHORTLY.

The Architecture Joint Crit 3 Submission has passed. We Are FREEEEEEEEE! No, not free of charge though.

Anyway, today i would like to talk about... nothing.

This has been a boring post to waste your time.

Thanks for reading!

Now i'm starting to wonder whether i should get married...

Comic from explosm.net

The unhappy professor
Challenge the impossible

Background
There is a story about a grumpy university professor who was always bitter and angry. In fact, he was so grumpy that many postgraduates were afraid of him. Finally, one student gathered enough courage to ask the professor why he was always grumpy. “Well, you see,” said the professor, “back in the sixties when I was as young as you, we came up with the ideas for everything that is now a reality: the mobile phone, the automatic lawnmower, computers networks and so on. And now, when all this is possible, I retire in a year.”
The poor professor was bitter because he had not been young in an age where the electronic circuit was small enough and cheap enough to be fitted into anything and everything. He was annoyed because it was no longer technology that stood in the way of what could be developed, but the human imagination.
Learn to question the statement that images are impossible to do. Today’s rapid development means that it is now possible to accomplish many things that were previously considered impossible: otherwise, our thoughts run the risk of stagnating. As we solve yesterday’s impossibilities, so must we find new impossibilities to solve tomorrow.

Activity
Describe something in your organization that is currently impossible, but which will soon become possible to achieve. Describe the effect it will have when the impossible becomes possible. How can you benefit from these changes?

Mich suggested a webpage to me.... Here's one of the posts that i've read.


Here are some of the best comments by lecturers and professors I’ve come across, most of these quotes are from online blogs reading (archinet), some are from words of mouth while others are first hand experience, read also the second part of presentation crits 02, here goes:

“Why are you here? Don’t come back next semester.”
“Here’s a quarter. go call your mom and tell her you’re not going to be an architect.”
Your design is like masturbation, you want to know why? That is because only you yourself enjoyed and like it.
What is that boxy thing (model)? A coffin?
Your design sucks!
Your design is very tasteful… … for the tasteless.
“Is this a … structural… glob of glue?”
“When I went to school, at a different school than this one, there were students who would present projects like this one.
And they would fail.”
“Your project looks like something that’s been through a trash compactor”
“This space that you’ve designed is the type place where beggars and dogs go to die”
“Are you in interior design?”
“Why are you studying architecture if you’re producing things like that?”
“Hey, everyone, gather round this project, come in close…because this is a great example for everyone of exactly what NOT to do..”
“This drawing isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.”
“This (model) is great…..just don’t let your dog play with it next time.”
“The program you invented was meant solely for your architectural masturbation……”
If you build this and after 10000 years the aliens see it, they would understand why humans extinguish
“Have you ever considered a career in accounting?”
“oh, so it’s like some kind of orgy pit!”
“So your parents are pay $20000 a year for this.”
“Your theory is bullshit. You don’t need that”
Prof pointing to part of a model, “Did you chew this?”

Metaphors are strong mountains
Realize the value of identifying metaphor

Background
We think in metaphors-and we do it more often than we realize. A metaphor is an excellent way of explaining something new by using a toolbox of old experiences.

Have you ever realized that we often use metaphors taken from the world of birds to describe ideas? We brood over a thought, hatch ideas that are as delicate as eggshells and when an idea really take off, it soars away on the wings of creativity. The whole idea process is similar to that of a bird’s development.

Another classic example arose when a group of arms manufacturers were developing a new weapon for the air force. They could not come up with any ideas, so a member of the group suggested that they change metaphor. “Imagine that we’re in the desert”, he said to the others. “Describe what you see.” “I see a cactus,” said one. “I see am oasis”, said another. “I see a sidewinder”, said a third. A side winder is a snake that hone in on its prey by detecting its body hear. Suddenly, one of the engineers had a brainwave. “Couldn’t we make a missile capable of detecting the heat from an enemy engine?” they worked on this idea and developed the highly successful heat-seeking missile, the Sidewinder.
Which metaphor best describes your branch? Which metaphor have you chosen for the problem you are working on now? It is often the case that we have not identified the metaphor that is relevant for us. And by not identifying it, we cannot see if the metaphor that is relevant for us. And by not identifying it, we cannot see if the metaphor has forced us into corner or not.

Activity
How can we generate ideas by developing a metaphor? Can we create a nest of idea? Can we feed newly-hatched thoughts? Must an idea cry out for food? Do migratory ideas develop best by flying south when winter comes? Try to develop the idea/egg/bird metaphor.
Always try to identify and develop the metaphor that forms the basis of the idea you are currently working on.

Edison’s idea quota
Understand the importance of coming up with a multitude of ideas as opposed to a handful

Background
Thomas Alva Edison was a man who realized that you had to come up with many ideas in order to have one good one. Edison was, undoubtedly, an inventive genius. He held the world record for the greatest number of inventions. He invented the gramophone and the incandescent light bulb, developed a storage battery and improved film projectors as well as founding what is today the world’s largest company, General Electric.

Edison realized, however; that good ideas do not come about by themselves, so he enforced an idea quota on himself and his employees. His own quota was this: A minor invention every ten days, and a major invention every six months.

Activity
Force yourself to come up with more ideas! When facing a problem, think of 50 different solutions. Many of ideas will not be good ones, but chances are that the first ideas will not be the best one anyway. Practice finding many solutions to many problems. Make a habit of asking yourself, “What other ways are there of solving this problem?” do not give up until you have thoughts of at least three new solutions. Remember that there are always different ways of solving a problem.

Beep! Beep!

Dare to change branch-and find a hidden treasure of untapped ideas.

Background
What would happen if Nokia and Sony Ericsson suddenly started producing cars? Well, you might be able to choose the ring signal-in other words, you could choose different horn melodies.

There is no doubt that car designers are innovative. They come up with many new ideas, like side airbags. However, the longer you work in a certain branch and the more expertise you have in your area, the harder it gets to look at your branch with new eyes. Quiet simply, familiarity breeds contempt.

As far as the car designers at Ford are concerned, the car’s horn is so taken for granted that they do not even question it. In the world of cars, the horn is always found on the wheel and when you press it, it goes beep. Even 21st century cars have little picture of an 18th century bugle to signify the horn’s function.


Activity
Bring in outside experts to solve a problem, or use your own expertise to develop a branch that you have no experience of. Best of all: take a couple of people from different branches and see what solution they come to with together.

By the way, what would a mobile phone developed by Ford’s designers be like?

The Idea

Thomas Edison understood the importance of writing down his ideas. He always had a notebook (or ‘idea book’) on him in which he wrote down his thoughts, ideas and observations. This jotting down of ideas was something he got from Leonardo Da Vinci, who produced a large number of sketches, notes and scribbling, often written in left-handed mirror-writing.

Edison may not have used backwards or reversed writing-but one thing is clear, he did write. He jotted down an idea as soon as it came to him. Whenever he was stuck or lacked inspiration, he went back to his note-book to see if he could come up with any new ideas from the ones he had already written down. After Edison’s death in 1931, an amazing 3,500 notebooks were found in his home.

This book hopes to follow in the footsteps of Edison and Da Vinci and motivate you to write down all your ideas. Make sure you do! Jot your idea down even if you think it is a mediocre one. Who knows? Sometime in the future you may develop a couple of roughly-written thoughts into a brilliant idea!

This is a MrLame Original.

What will u do if you fall in love with a lesbian girl? How will u admit to her that u like her, even though u know the chances of her liking u back is slim?

Maybe you should write a letter like this...

"To lesbian girl,

Hmm...

My tingly sense is tingling....

Of course it is tingling. What else is a tingly sense supposed to do? Dance?

I put that as my msn nick and people thought of spiderman. I wonder why.

I CUT MY HAIR.

Ahh, my head feels so much lighter now.

This is the photo of the model of the Islamic Cultural Centre i submitted today.

As u can see from the model, there is a curvy building, and a straight rectangular building.

As architecture students, we often have to explain our concept and intention, and also strategies in design.

As for my design...

Design Intention: To build a building i like.
Design Strategy: To use curve and rectangles.
Concept: A lovely curvy rectangular building.

LOL

This suit is.. NOT black! hahaha

How Chef AJ Salad is made

Ingredient

5 Washed Lettuce leaf
3 potato
5 Sticks of Asparagus
1/2 Tomato
Small portion of Broccoli

All it takes is boiling water, first put the potato in, sprinkler salt like magic powder

Next put the Asparagus and Broccoli in cook a little while till it turn darker green. Take it off and rinse it with tap water, in such it makes it crunchy

Next the potato is always the last to take off because it takes a longer time to cook it, well i used my tong to press on it, if its penetrable soft its cooked.

Next wash your lettuce and put all the reminding item neatly

Put topping.

The story.


The Aftermath.

A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court, but the custody of their children posed a problem.




The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the children into this world, she should retain custody of them.




The man also wanted custody of his children.




The judge asked for his side of the story, too.After a long moment of silence, the man rose from the chair and replied: "Judge, when I put a dollar into a vending machine, and a Pepsi comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?"

BACK FROM KL!!

We will be back to posting again in a short while. =)

I would like to use this space to wish someone happy birthday... She has been a great friend to me for a few years...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO 佩琳!!! a.k.a. Cel / Celestina

her birthday was on 2/7. GO WISH HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


Anyway, we came back from KL quarantined.... a classmate of ours got infected with the dreaded HINI virus. We even went clubbing with him, and i sat beside him on the bus! =(

If anything, i'm at the biggest risk. So i cannot go anywhere.

But still, we will update this blog as much as possible. We even took a few videos together when we were in KL! Pretty crazy videos. Hope u guys will like it.

Meanwhile, i'm still waiting for the video because we din use our camera to take. =)

BTW,
We = Me + Albert

I think heineken makes some of the best advertisements...

Hey boys and girls! I'm posting again! This might not be a funny post but it's something i've suddenly thought of out of nowhere... Maybe it's been said before somewhere, but i know i haven't heard of it.

Personally, i myself don't know how to chase girls one. =)

Anyway, imagine this. Must imagine huh!

If you had the power to make someone, ANYONE, fall in love with you forever just by saying one particular line, who would you say it to? It seems like an easy task, but you have to know that that particular person will be with you for the rest of your life. That person will need you to love back whenever too. Also, you could only say that line ONCE seriously in your life, or else the first person you have said it to will hate you, and so will the rest of the people whom you've said it to.

As for me, i seriously have no answer for this... because you could be making the wrong decision for saying it to a person who hasn't shown her true colours. Who knows, the person you've known for the longest time could've been acting as someone she's not.

I also thought of a few different type of guys and who they might choose to say that "particular line" to.

Desperate man = Tells it to any girl he's met for a few minutes, or seconds.
Horny man = Tells it to a sexy looking girl regardless whether she's a b*tch.
Gay man = Tells it to a man, of course.
Business man = Tells it to a girl who can make lots of money for him, with him.
Loving man = Tells it to a girl that appreciates his shower of love.
Family man = Tells it to a girl who can have lots of children with him, can cook, and can take of the children too.
Evil man = Tells it to a bimbo who will do whatever he says.
Music man = Tells it to the girl who often plays music with him.
Architect = He barely knows any girls.


The last one is a joke la. Lol.

P.S. I highly doubt "I love you" applies as the "particular line".
P.S.S. No, sex is not a good reason to get into a relationship.

Being amazed by knights, how they slash their enemy and protect their princess.

This was in my mind!

Swing swing swing… wooooo woooo woooo I am swing my 90cm length by 20mm dia sugar cane, approx 3-4kg in weight.

It was tiring though, I stop, I put the cane on the desk and break it with a taekwondo lower block Plack! It break.

Oh gosh. The previous time I did it heart my forearm and it did not break, but now my arm still hurt a little but it break. I was happy….. having this in mind ‘Grand ancient master’

Lols

I took the broken piece and went to the garden. Having army trained, trench digging, for sure I knew how to dig a hole…..

So I put the 10cm length broken cane into the wet paddy of soil.

Yes you are right! I have just planted a Sugar cane. Yehhhhhhh

For there are more to come.

Dear readers,

We are sorry to announce that the crazynuts-idea team has been, sort of, slacking with the content. But this is only because the polytechnic vacation has arrived, meaning, no it's not that we are on holiday, but in Singapore Polytechnic's Built Environment's, or now called Architecture and the Built Environment (ABE),'s Diploma in Architecture (DARCH), (oh my such a long introduction to the course), argh. ok lets start over. This is only because VACATION in our course actually means MORE WORK TO BE DONE BECAUSE YOU GUYS DONT HAVE TO COME TO SCHOOL. Therefore, in fact we are working twice as hard, and lest, have less time to blog.

We are terribly sorry for the lack of entertainment during your visits here people. But bear with us, we will try to post ... SOMETHING.. at least... like now.... err... something useless.... yep... to waste your time.... yes.... you are wasting your time now.... this is our evil plan in fact....


Anyway. We shall be back shortly... =)

Yours Sincerely,
Daniel Lame.

Not for the faint hearted.

Who's ken lee?

Sorry to those who love this song. LOL
