War of the genders! 3:24 PM

Yesterday for some reason I asked Weijie a dumb question.

"Eh, are you in a relationship with me cos no one else wants you?"

It was a very innocent question... with no ill intentions! Honest!

But that got him all indignant and he decided to tell me all about his juicy encounters with the opposite sex that I did not know of. TMD!

"You know, the other day when I was having lunch, these 2 girls, one of them looked like Joanne Peh, they came and started chatting me up. We chatted the entire lunch. And after that they said, 'Nice meeting you Weijie, hope to see you around!'"

"And there's also this girl in my class now, she always finds chances to sit beside me and chat with me, during excursions and during classes. And that is despite knowing I already have a girlfriend!"

After which he smugly goes on to proclaim, "You know, a guy is good when girls throw themselves at him. But for girls to know that he is attached and yet still knowingly throw themselves at him, that guy must be SUPER!"

=.=

You watch out Bobby you watch out. I didn't tell you about the Italian cutie did I? Nor the Korean... nor the American (of course the American). And yes the Chinese neighbour. Oh and the Indian cutie at the cafe, and... never mind. Its time for me to act on my threats. You wait and see Bobby.. you wait and see.. :)

Mice on the loose! 3:15 PM

There's a parvovirus outbreak in the Hopkins animal facility and the medical campus in general. Guess why? Because some IDIOTS dropped their mice while doing animal work and didn't manage to catch them back and didn't bother to report it. And these mice caught the parvovirus somehow and because this virus is transmittable via urine and feces, these idiotic mice pee and poop everywhere and now almost every mice in every cage is in danger of getting the disease. OMFG. Can u imagine, if u spent a year or two getting your transgenic mouse and then *poof* you have to euthanize every single one of them cos some idiot let mice loose and didn't bother to report it. I would kill that person if I ever find out who it is.

As for me, the animal-work-averse researcher, the only real concern is having loose mice running everywhere in the laboratories. Now everywhere I go I would peel my eyes out for anything moving on the floor and would jump if so much as a piece of paper flits across the room. Damnit.. Catch all the damn mice!!!!

Old Chinese Man 1:11 PM

A sailor, after placing some flowers on a grave in a cemetery, noticed an
old Chinese man placing a bowl of rice on a nearby grave, and asked:
“What time do you expect your friend to come up and eat the rice?”


The old Chinese man replied with a smile:
"Same time your friend come up to smell flowers."


This small anecdote speaks lengths about religious tolerance and mutual respect. Which is still sorely lacking in many places. =)

Keep searching and asking for more, and you will never be satisfied.

Cherish every single thing that you have, every single day of your life, and you will be the happiest person in the world.

V-day 9:31 PM

Sooooooo our dearest Weijie wasn't around this Valentine's. I decided to be naughty. I went on a hot date with 2 guys! Oooolala~~~

I mean, you know, one tends to get lonely in a foreign country once in a while.. and a hot guy pops up and asks if I wanna go for dinner on V-day, whats a girl to do? Plus, the food is OH-SO-GOOD! Its REAL CHINESE FOOD! I know I know.. you're getting sick and tired of purist me harping on and on about Chinese food.. but you will understand how deprived I am when you get here yo!

So baby here we go! Grace Garden! It has rave reviews from many papers, including the Washington Post, Baltimore City paper, and even the Chicago Tribune. The most amazing thing about this restaurant is its nondescript appearance, just like any other rundown Chinese restaurant in the suburbs, and also tiny and family-run. They almost have no other helpers except for members in the family. Yet it has won over every single foodie in the area.


A picture of the interior...
I was getting the menu for these 2 lazy asses while they were taking pictures..


Don't laugh at us but even the tea was just so fragrant. You could tell the tea leaves were top grade.


We ordered the tea leaf duck which took 3 days to prepare... just letting the tea smoke the duck. And we also ordered the horfun.. yummy!!!




Lady boss told us duck's gonna be greasy so we should get some greens with it.. so we ordered this string beans dish..



Ahahaha satisfied look..



Finally presenting... the desserts... Chinese donuts.. yummayyyyy!!!
Kihyuck was trying to be funny with his hand... =.=


My 2 dates and I! And Chinese donuts.. whoever came up with that name.. haha


And so, I got home and decided to play with my webcam. I am not usually narcissistic.. but that day I chatted Jing and she told me that she knows some of Weijie's friends and they are starting to think I'm not that cute anymore. I mean, they used to think I am freakin cute but now no more. I brushed it off. But then I weighed myself. SHIT I GREW FAT! And insecurity hit.

Then I turned on the webcam. And I thought.. omg no way I'm still damn cute!

Ain't I? I drink yakult! Check out the bottle in my hand!

I was trying to show that yakult bottle in my hand.. haha I actually took this picture to tell u guys I FOUND YAKULT IN BALTIMORE!


I was pretending to be classy...
Funky..

Whatever...

I'm just cute ok? Lim Jingwen dont be jealous!

:p

Happy Valentine's Day! 8:45 PM

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!

I just got back from watching the movie He's Just Not That Into You.


You know, I'm not a chick flick person. This is not my usual kinda movie. But after getting attached, I found that this movie really made me learn a lot about relationships in general. Nope this is not a movie review. It is a Valentine's Day special for my blog!

Firstly, even without the movie, I would just like to say that found that it is a great learning experience just having to learn to accept someone else into your life, someone else's quirks, habits, etc that you are not familiar with, you are not used to. It makes one mature a lot.

And then, movie comes. Spoiler ahead.

So anyway, there are a few couples in the movies, but my favourite one, the one that made me learn most, is Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck. I won't go into details about what kinda problems they faced and blah blah blah and I will just cut to the chase.

A lot of people, when they look at their partners, they will think, how I wish he were a little more handsome, a little more charming, a little more well-built, a little more understanding, a little more this, a little more that. We forget to look at ourselves and ask ourselves what we might be lacking, and we forget to look at our partners and see what he has done for us. We just see what he hasn't done/doesn't have. So long story short, today, I would like to talk about my boyfriend, and thank him for everything he has done for me, that is under-appreciated by me.

How many boyfriends call you to wake you up every morning? How many boyfriends wait for you to hang up before he does for every single call, no matter how busy he is? Thank you for bearing with me, for letting me win every single argument we've had, for letting me bully you and make fun of you, for agreeing to silly things just to make me happy, for laughing at all the stupid jokes I make, for simply paying attention to everything I say, for putting me above everything else in this world, for eating all the crap that I don't eat, for pulling little surprises that brighten up my day, for respecting my decisions, no matter how unwise, for letting me whine, for talking me to sleep whenever I have insomnia, for being forever encouraging no matter what I do, for simply holding on to this relationship even when things don't look good. For simply being there for me.

This year is a difficult year for us both, you have NO IDEA how difficult it is to maintain a relationship without face to face communication, without feeling your partner around you, without someone to be there for you when you are most vulnerable. But we're getting there..

Happy Valentine's Day baby!



You better cherish this day... because..... tomorrow......


EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL!!!! WAHAHAHAHA

When Insults had Class…. 5:15 PM

Welcome to Baltimore 2:40 PM

So today, the idea that I was in Baltimore, one of the most dangerous cities in the US, finally hit home.

Kihyuck was driving us back from Walmart when we passed by this area. Its usually really quiet and scenic but kinda dangerous to drive at night, but in the day its really pretty. We passed by this quiet neighbourhood.. and suddenly the silence was broken by the sound of someone beeping the horn in the car. It went on and on and on and we were getting annoyed.. so we tried to locate where the sound came from.

Thats when we saw the car. There was this guy/lady (can't really tell from the back) who was kinda outside the car but bending into the car through the door from the driver side. When I looked closer, I was shocked. By the time I recovered, we had driven a distance away. That was when I told them what I saw...

The alarm was flashing in the car.. what we heard was not the beeping of the horn but actually the sound of the alarm. And the person we saw was actually STEALING from the car in BROAD DAYLIGHT, rummaging through the car parked RIGHT IN FRONT of a house INSIDE a residential area with the alarm GOING OFF and he/she didn't give a damn and NO ONE came out to stop him/her.

Don't you just love Baltimore?

Welcome to the blog of 武林盟主. In this space of hers, she is entitled to and responsible for her own thoughts and comments. You are welcome to give your few cents worth in the tag, but do not force her to accept your thoughts should they differ from hers. If everyone thinks the same way we would all be robots no?

武林盟主 is this pugilistic genius everyone calls a deranged lunatic. But that's cos they haven't witnessed her great powers yet! She can be regarded as the best product coming from the Pugislistic World in the past 100 years, and 武當, 少林 and 峨嵋 are scrambling to get her to be their 掌门人. She likes think of herself as the next 杨过, 郭靖 or 张无忌.

武林盟主 also has this slightly straight slightly crooked sexuality. At times when the Estrogen triumphs, she preys on hot guys. Other times when the Testosterone levels peak, she preys on hot girls. Some say that is a side effect of the 葵花宝典. Her doctors are still working to establish that.

Many say she's invincible. But that's not true. Bring a DURIAN in front of her, and she will ditch her sword and raise the white flag. She's still desperately trying to master the 闭气功 so she can overcome this weakness.

She now resides in a tiny little room in a tiny little building in a tiny little university/hospital in the tiny little city of Baltimore, studying her tiny little life away in the hopes of getting some Permanent Head Damage. If you feel you can communicate at her level and wish for her to be your soulmate, feel free send her a note of pugilistic admiration and alliance!
