NIPPLE-LATHOPIA?

Saturday, May 30th, 2009
I’ve always wondered, why do men have nipples?

?????????


Aight, I’m not seeking some thesis-long Biological explanation just so you know.
It’s just pretty amusing as to why ‘em guys actually possess them.

Okay, so let’s get analytical. I did a mini Q&A session with ma’ boys & gurls :

What is the 1st thing that comes to your mind when asked,

“What can nipples do?”

[i][c=4]Victoria [/c][/i] says:
for the milk to come out? LOL

- MICHAEL YIP – says:
Girl Nipple produce milk (rofl mike. i didn’t know nipples have genders!)

i’m C e D says:
nipples… hmm… so that a mother would know where to begin breastfeeding her baby?

Veneez♥ says:
hm. it doesnt do anything except being the only way for a woman to breast feed lo

[Ass-a-nation] YingYang – | Te amo says:
MILK lah

[ ms. YiLing ] 頑張ります ! says:
for guys i’ve no idea. for girls it’s for milk suckling from the child i guess?

[N!g3L] says:
to produce mom milk for baby?

And the verdict?
MEN AND NIPPLES. forum smileys
No, they don’t need it for breastfeeding.

So.. WHY do men need nipples?


No seriously.
YOU tell me

So yeah, I spotted this “nipple” book whilst at the Singapore MPH book fair last weekend and I showed this to Ducclebears. He laughed at my face and called me silly. Hmmph!


Yeah sweetie, silly for you.
Bleh. Corny! scuba diving in cancun

The book fair was just insane.
Imagine lining up for a whole hour just to purchase the books you’ve picked out. Goodness me, I reckon the queue was at least 200m long, if not more.


The queue stretched till the 4 corners of the huge warehouse


ALL JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BOOKS?

No offence to the bookworms out there though.

Because I fully understand that not all reading material are made up of only textbooks, encyclopedias, dictionaries and the like… or definitely not this :


The History of William Shakespeare.
Hey, if you’ve lived a life as deep as this fella, you’d prolly have a biography about yourself as thick as a rhino’s skin.

Anyways.
Books are pretty damn awesome, if I have to say so myself. A few books there actually caught my eye! Both, titles and designs.

Okay honestly, I’m a sucker for artsy book cover designs. So to all the publishing houses : if you want an extra customer, then funk up your book cover and I’ll buy it regardless of whether or not the story is good. ROFL

I remember BestieBenj and I often hit Borders to check out awesome books, back in my Penang days. He has a fancy for those silly books like ’101 things to do before you die’ or ‘How to survive a zombie attack’. Then again, he would always take me to the culinary section full of fab books like this -


Argh… Food! Nom nom nom.
How can I not bask in gastronomic glory?

Oh look! Another artsy book -


How ingenious!

But wait a sec-
Another iPod book?


Coolios!

Whee! That’s what I’m talking about yo :


Okay I’ve finally decided what to do for my 3rd tattoo already.
Yeah I’m known to be very fickle. Heh.

Wowza and guess what I found? Check this out -


I spy with my little eye..
something begining with ‘K’ and ends with an ‘A’

Hmm.. speaking if which.
When it eventually comes to a point of choosing names to give my offsprings, I swear it’s never gonna be ‘Edmund’ and ‘Rosemary’.

Get my point?
hee.

OMFG. DON’T REMIND ME YET.

Already? NOOOOOOOOOOOO


Is your job bullsh*t and stressing your hair out?
Chillax.

Because it’s the weekends! What’s the remedy for the lethargy you’ve had during the weekdays?

When we finally finished scouring the entire warehouse, it’s time for purchases!


Ugh. Don’t worry.
We didn’t buy that much.


(i know i look bimbotic in this picture wtf but it’s the only pic i have with him)
Thecousin didn’t buy anything.
Or did he? Only that interior design book if I’m not wrong.

Ima happy gurl as usual after a shopping haul of … books. Hey, at least I don’t feel so bad having spent all those money. After all, books are -cough- intellectual and food for thought, no?


Forgive theboyfie. /smacks
He loves to ruin my peektures.

When we got home, we bought a whopping 20books +/- altogether. (I forgot the exact number. Apologies. hee) But check out mine alone! Thankiesss Ducclebears


BOOKS FTW!

omfg now how on earth am I to finish all those books?

innocent smileys

edit : a dear reader of mine Jhnhth, referred me to Scientific America, and it turns out that after a complex explanation, I’ve gathered that the answer to why do men have nipples is merely this -

“chests would also look pretty funny with just hair”
and
“simply because women do”

STOP walking and look around

After a tedious day of work, running errands and having a cuppa with roomie, Kel Li and Nigel at Old Town, I’m home at last.

Intending to make a beeline for bed the moment I unlocked the doors of the house, I suddenly decided against it. For what I saw didn’t only amuse me; it kept me locked in fascination. It was only after a few seconds I smiled to myself and pulled out the camera.

I care not what roomie thinks, for she was bewildered with my peculiar behavior. And of course, her giggles followed thereafter. Yes, I was squatting by the doorway of where my fave pair of Converse & heels disheveled and shot away like no one cared.


You guessed right.
I saw a single crisp white feather amongst my shoes, on the parquet floor.

… and how did it get there?


aim smileys It is puzzling, no?

Now before you begin to psychoanalyze me of this oddity, I can assure you that none of the fuses in my grey matter succumbed to any form of short-circuit as we speak. Woi… can I be like, human arh?

aim smileys
Little things tend to spark my interest too ya’know.
I then rolled a stack of old newspapers to channel my flashgun’s radiant energy directly to the feather in question.

It’s the little things in life you never noticed that counts. war smileys

Hence the much publicized feather that made its way to the assembly of my footwear… and that goes without saying

How far have you traversed in life only to realize
you haven’t stopped to smell the flowers?

I was Terminated with them!

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

I ain’t a die-hard fan of violent and action movies (except Resident Evil) but the latest installment of Terminator really got me going. Us bloggers were given tickets to catch the premier screening of Terminator : Salvation.

Thumbs up for the movie!

Right after work, I planned with a few other blogger buddies to grab some dinner before the show. As usual, the old-age question remains :

EAT WHAT AR?

Somehow, we decided on Manhattan Fish Market.
One of my personal faves back in Penang. Whoopedoo!
While the rest were skimming through the menu making life&death decisions on what to have for dinner, I kept my hands busy with my camera as usual. Check ‘em out!


smilies
Excuse me, don’t be so excited for Terminator


Awwwwwww *cough cough*


Everytime I yell “Jeff!”, he would turn towards me and flash me a huge grin which somewhat reminds me of Chef Wan promoting Kicap Udang


Had a picciesession with Wen, Ev and Jacque too
Just us, babes!


But the rest of the dudes wanted to join too!
whee


Side by side

Suddenly, I received an SMS which read : “You kat mana?” (Malay for Where are you?). I replied and along came someone… take a guess. Lionel arrived before we began chomping down some seafood.

Oh look, even he himself can’t take his pungent odour.
Hence the name Smellyhawk.

For those who follow my blog, you would all know I’m a hardcore fish lover. I’d choose fish over the likes of beef, chicken, pork, duck, mutton, frog and whatnot.


My meal came, and what else did I order but Salmon Pasta?
Loving it.
Finally, everyone else’s meal came. Time to stuff our faces, yo.


Alright already, let’s eat!

However, I caught sight of something which intrigued me. How amusing one looks when in doubt over how the food would be like.

DOES IT TASTE GOOD, ISAAC?


ooooookay.
I take that as a no?
winking smileys

Oh lookie, the rest brought out cameras too.


I just love shooting candids
Check out Lionel & Bern’s expression

Not to be missed, Alex & Suresh came at the very last minute to join us!

But the one who came the last and asked, “Is Jess there?” when I yelled “INARIKEN!” over Bern’s cellphone, was buddy Ken.


Inari Pendafluor Prawnello Ken
Try saying that repetitively in one breath for 3 whole minutes
mad smileys

Paid the bills, and rushed off to the Cineplexes upstairs to redeem our tickets. Thanks much to HuaiBin the fruitcake for bringing me there.


Screw our faded hair colors.

Don’t you just hate it? Argh.

Met my other buddies there as well – Jen, David and Kel


AND SOMEONE GREETED ME WITH A :
“TAKE A PICTURE OF ME, JESS!”
INSTEAD OF THE CONVENTIONAL :
“HI JESS!”

roar.


Nah.. your picture.
*reluctantly uploads*
heee. kidding pal. sad smileys

I spotted some very -cough- adorable people doing -cough- very adorable things.


Wowza.

Movie time!
Shut your cellphones (I bet no one does), throw your popcorns in the air and get ready to be annihilated by the terminator.
Oh and, my fave was the motor-terminator. The cutesy thing on the tiny bike.


Someone couldn’t get his hands off the popcorn.
LOL

The tattoo-ed kids on the block
Pierced and proud of it!


Okay okay. Watch.
I’m not spoiling it for you, but it’s really good!

Camwhored with a few other buddies after we got outta the theater.

-cough- ADMIT IT LARRRRR

The after-movie picture!
Guys, grab it if ya’ want

i TOLD YOU I WON’T POST UP UNGLAM PICS OF YOU GUYS. hee.

Take old skool home!

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Just got back from Singapore and I had such a terrific time during the weekend! Try conjuring images of rockers, large crowds, burfday songs and public “embarrassment”. Nah, just kidding. It wasn’t all about that.

I didn’t torture him that terribly… or did I?

So yeah. Before I share the boyfie’s big bang birthday weekend, Imma kick back some swagger and take to the streets. It’s old skool babeh. What could be better than some preppy gear and vintage wear?


This season, it’s all about the streets.
There ain’t no rules ‘cept the ones on the wall

Graffiti at its best. Hit the streets with urban artsy fartsy doodles splashed on walls, some trash cans, rubbish strewn around for the edgy hit and a bottle of whatever.



Laidback, with her fave pair of Converse…
She’s jackin’ the streets.
credits to: theboyfie who shot me in the back alleys

Yep, that’s right. I’m lovin this now. And if you guys didn’t catch the Adidas Spring & Summer collection ‘o9, ya better head down to get a sneak peak. I’m totally diggin’ the classic yet contemporary look they have this season. Try a Vespa with those familar 3 stripes? Loves.

On a completely different note, I even bought myself some blasts from the past. They say certain fads die off but this is eternal to stay.


Jess is sporting her retro rock&roll miniskirt, latex black skinny slacks,
an Audrey Hepburn purse and tartan blouses aka “boyfriend shirts”


“Shopping is cheaper than Psychiatrists”

I’m always ready for some retail therapy!


But when I’m totally junked out, these caffeine kickers imported to my desk all the way from Pakistan will definitely do the trick.

So, laugh out when you strike a pose and put on all your preppy clothes!

Oh and…

I LOST MY SONY CYBERSHOT. FML
