Alzheimers is when a gluey glob of glue-ish something 'globs' up your brain, and it is incurable as of now probably because there is no way of removing that glob.People are often confused about what Alzheimers actually is, typically accrediting memory loss to it.But Alzheimers is not about you forgetting where you left your keys lying around - it's when you even forget that a key is a key.It's like telling you a sequence of 7 numbers, and after 5 min you forget what those numbers are. That's not the critical issue. Short or bad memory is not the deciding factor whether or not you have Alzheimers.It is when you cannot even recognise and pick out those 7 numbers, out of 2 other sequences of 7 numbers, then that's when you should be concerned.Oprah and Dr Oz offer the most astonishing facts!*****I am getting a sore throat =(*****Didi is going to shave his head for the Children Cancer Foundation!I wish I dared to try. I would though if I didn't have to start going for job interviews in a matter of months. I don't think my hair would grow out PROPERLY by then, seeing how my last crop left me with fucked up hair for the subsequent months.It is like FINALLY looking more normal.I WANT MY LONG HAIR LAH.You daring girls and boys out there! Go shave your head for charity! It gives you the chance (and justification) to do something that has probably been nagging at the back of your head!*****Should I or should I not apply for PR here?*****Got to go and scout for apartments up for leasing.I h.a.t.e. doing such stuff.*****It's the first Mama's Day that I've not spent with Mops.=(*****I went to Melbourne to meet Didi and Stitch last weekend!Photos up soon.Love the aquarium!(Pam sorry I couldn't call you cos it was only after landing at Avalon that I realised I didn't have your number in my new phone :( sorry!!)*****I went horse-back riding at Blue Mountains (for my assignment - cool hor!?)The 2-hr tour had my inner thighs aching like mad. The horse actually trotted and not like the previous times when the horses merely cantered leisurely down the China lanes.I was sheepish to find myself panting with the horse even though she was the only one between us to be trotting (the trotting certainly felt like galloping to me!).Need. To. Exercise.The silly horse probably didn't give a shit that there was someone on her back, and she merrily trotted between trees with branches nicely just above her head, which meant half the time there were baby eucalyptus tree branches whipping me in the face. Same applied for the 'width' - she went through gaps between trees that were just nice for her, so my knees were banging on either side of the tree trunks.The horse I had was called Coin. I kept calling her but she bo hiu me!Then I realised I was calling her Cash.Though Didi did point out that she would have bo hiu-ed me anyway regardless what I called her.Heh heh.*****I was at Darling Harbour with K just last Friday and there was this street performer who was really funny.I think he's a Brit! Brits are super duper funny lor omg. Is Forgetting Sarah Marshall out yet in SG? Must watch! The Brit guy in the show (not main lead) was SUPER funny.Anyway the performer.There was already quite a big crowd (for a street performance) while he was doing his stunts. Not really the most waaahhhh performer - he was juggling an apple, a knife and a fire torch while standing on a BMX-like bicycle atop a pole about 20 feet up in the air, and at a point of time he was juggling two knives and a chainsaw.He was damn entertaining lah!And the best part I liked about him was how blatant he asked for people to pay him.I think that's only right leh. There is nothing shameful about asking for payment, because you are performing, even if you were not doing dangerous stuff. But there was this big group of Asians watching next to us, and the moment he asked us to pay him any amount (but preferably $10), the entire group left immediately!Irritating lah!The guy said the thing he's most hurt about is not when people leave without paying, but when they don't even go up to him to say 'Good job!' or stuff like that.Wallao eh. If you can afford to go Darling Harbour for a night out, don't tell me you don't have even $2 to spare him lor. Especially when you were watching for a good 20min already (show was about 30min) and you leave coincidentally just after he asked for payment!I think it's totally fine to ask for payment leh. I like the frankness of it - I always yuck at people who go on about how it's not about money and they're just performing for the sake of performing but ohhh it'll be you know, good of course if there were donations!Bullshit I say.K and I started digging for money (totally utterly broke are we) and we came up with $5 to put in the guy's bag. He could all be bluffing and all when he said he really needed the money and his dog was pregnant (HAHAHA) but I don't care. You can be a millionaire, but as long as you are performing something then you should get something in return lor. As long as you're candid about it I think it's honourable leh.K said the guy sincerely looked grateful when he saw the $5 dropped into his bag.In the end we only bought two pieces of fried fish and 6 calamari, and shared a bottle of juice sitting at the docks of Darling Harbour (that's how much the $5 made a difference to us now hahahaha) but happy leh.Likewise at Melbourne. Didi and Stitch and I were just done with dinner at Mekong (DAMN NICE I'm sure all Melbourne people know Mekong!) and walking back to where I was staying, and there was this guy (I presume) in a spacesuit, standing at the junction doing his performance. He was damn good cos there was this drunk idiot who kept trying to be funny while his friends were sporadically pulling him back.The performer could only suck thumb leh. He couldn't have done anything else lor. But he was damn sleek at shooing the drunkard away while continuing to perform at the same time. I dropped two small gold coins into his hat. Stitch asked me why I put so much hehe. But it's just me I guess. I'm a wussy when I see 'normal' people work really hard for the money. It's just different with those celebrity charity shows leh. I wouldn't call in to donate.I hope if I have to become a street performer one day people would give me money!
