Cosmopolitan - my new favorite magazine

I alternate at my parents' place and my own apartment nowadays, which becomes a huge problem for tracking library books, my CoH disc (that can unlock the game) and SD cards. I have so many half-read books here and there. So it's the fun time of the month, Filesonic & Megaupload are down... and I am at my parents' house... so while I was waiting for the bus to go to violin class, I saw that the newsagent was selling COSMOPOLITAN. 

Supposedly this magazine was banned in Singapore due to its explicit sexual content. At the time I was like who are they fucking trying to kid? Especially since CLEO and the rest of the magazines also tend to write such gritty stuff, albeit to a lesser extent. So I decided to buy a copy...

Ooo...

"When he first sees you, he scratches his nose. There's erectile tissue in his schnoz, and if he's excited to be near you, it'll enlarge, causing it to itch."

Fascinating.. I remember back in the day, my dear older and more experienced (she had a boyfriend when she was 13) cousin, C, sagely advised me to try to check out the guy's *censored* when I was with him, to see if he was "flying at full or half mast". I remember that  nearly straining myself while trying to peep and not get caught, and later whispering angrily to my cousin "he's wearing jeans, how the *** am I supposed to see?"

Btw I am of the school of thought that men should read woman's magazines. Esp those men who are not from Stone Age but act and think like cavemen. It will do well for them to understand women more instead of acting all huffy and puffy as if they are always right.

Anyway I also decided to come out with a special Valentine's Day Magazine for Nibblezware... (I wonder if I really have the time to do it...) So watch out for it!!!

Testing your Musicality

The wicked B1 sent me this series of links for testing your musicality, which is rather painful for me due to my failing the aural part during my violin exam. It's done by this brilliant Harvard medical grad who is working at its affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital.

The irony is... I scored a 80% on the Rhythm test, which is such a joke, and I decided to quit while I am on the high =P

今年的桃花运 Love Luck

Choose a card in the deck and read the analysis corresponding to your chosen number:


[source: My Paper, 20 Jan 2011]



English Translation:
(1) The Hanged Man
It's going to be a bumpy road in love this year. If you were hoping that a new love would appear, then you must completely resolve any previous love entanglements., otherwise even if someone desirable appears, your new love will face a lot of obstacles due to the past and the two of you can only remain in an ambiguous state.

(2) Pentacles
Your opportunities for love are low this year, mainly because you are a workaholic, work OT every night and only sometimes relax at home. Even if there is someone from the opposite sex interested in getting to know you better, he or she is detered by your "hikikomori" attitude. It is recommended that you try to improve yourself, increase your charm and charisma, as this will allow the opposite gender discover your uniqueness.

(3) Chalices
Opportunities in love are extremely abundant this year, especially in March or April. You have a gregarious personality so it is easy for you to attact the opposite sex. Once someone desirable appears, you just need to seize the opportunity and not miss the chance to develop love.

(4) Temperance
Opportunities in love are pretty high, especially in the later half of the year. You have a desirable personality, every movement you make can attract any persons of the opposite gender who are seeking love. If you encounter someone who is as commited as you in the relationship, do not hesitate and do not repeat the errors you made in love before. Try to adjust and be more accepting.

(5) The Chariot
Your love opportunities are abound in July and August this year. However your current luck in love is considered very good, so you should look carefully at the people around you, because you might discover that you already have someone who is quietly protecting and guarding you. The you this year should be able to abandon your single status soon, so look forward to it!

Have you any idea what this is?

Hoho... It's a condom case from the 1920s to 1930s. The 3 Merry Widows contained three condoms (I suppose one for each of the makers, namely Agnes, Mabel and Beckie) made from cement rubber (don't ask me, I have no idea either. GIYBF).

Apparently they were thicker...but reusable?! Too bad not reusable enough. I wasn't able to find any photo of ole Agnes, Mabel or even Beckie.

Analysis

A. Your Happiness Factor this year: 30%. A long time ago, you felt that happiness was within reach, but after the trials and tribulations of yesteryear,  you realize that happiness is transient, and you shouldn't pin too much hopes on anything.

B. Your Happiness Factor this year: 15%. You feel that you will not achieve any happiness in this lifetime, unless this year allows you to experience a happiness that you have never had before. If not, you will always feel that happiness is forever far and away.

C. Your Happiness Factor this year: 50%. You prize a healthy body as the greatest form of blessing. You have learnt to accept and adjust, which in turns gives you a deeper appreciation of happiness.

D. Your Happiness Factor this year: 10%. Yesteryear's unhappiness disillusions you and you no longer believe in happiness. This year, you view craving material gains (instead of happiness) as a more sensible and realistic desire.

E. Your Happiness Factor this year: 45%. You had many trials and tribulations last year, but you continue to believe that the dark clouds will disappear and happiness is approaching.

F. Your Happiness Factor this year: 85%. You are happy. But because you lack true love, you are unable to achieve true and complete happiness. Maybe this year you will experience greater happiness.

G. Your Happiness Factor this year: 30%. You are mature, and understand that many things cannot be forced. The you of yesteryear derived joy from materials gains, but for this year, you seek mediocre comfort.

H. Your Happiness Factor this year: 40%. You are clever and independent, and have set your own lifetime goals.  Even if you cannot realize your dreams this year, you will still derive satisfaction from the determination and effort you have put in.

It's going to be Chinese New Year Soon...

Yesterday I had a family event which necessitated the use of an ang bow "红袍". But I forgot to bring one from the house when I went swimming. Since B1 refused to swim because the water was going to be cold (it was, wonderfully) as it was raining very hard (though no lightning, for which I am thankful), I asked him to buy the ang bow paper for me while he was getting a drink from Coffee Bean. 

He couldn't find the ang bow paper that people use for weddings so he bought those for Chinese New Year. *Faints* He bought some really cute ones with Hello Kitty. I think they are so cute, they deserve a post!

I can't say I am surprised. I would do that too, especially if all my potential gamers are lonely boys. In fact, would make the boobs bigger, just for them. Haha.
