Bathroom Psychology

I found this gem of a video in google videos - great site to go to if you're really bored.. So anyway, this is really funny so please take the time to watch it. And no, there isn't any (total) nudity..

Epiphany

My friend had decided to celebrate her birthday at Hard Rock Cafe. I was as you can imagine apprehensive to say the least. There would be dancing.. of that I had no doubt whatsoever.

I went there prepared with various excuses that I would use whenever someone insisted I must dance. Needless to say I promptly forgot them the minute somebody grabbed my arm. So I turned into a babbling idiot mumbling something about not dancing, leg hurting (I was wearing my 3-inch heels you see) etc. and would go back to my seat and nurse my drink (the bartender couldn't make me a strawberry daiquiri so he made his version of it.. and it was awesome!).

After my third drink, I somehow found myself on the dancefloor (again), only this time I couldn't remember why on earth I wanted to go back to my seat. So I danced. And danced. And danced. Then I had to stop to visit the loo. Then I came back and danced some more. And some more. You get the idea.

So I guess I stand corrected. Dancing is fun. Coz when I think back to that night, I know I had fun. But I also know I must have looked like a right jackass with a whole bunch of left feet in the process.

Well, thats all the dancing I'll be doing folks.. until the next round of strawberry daiquiri wannabes.. or something like that ;)

Going to the gym...

Now I am a thin person.. some would say extremely thin but I disagree. Just thin.. and I accept that.

I recently started going to the gym and when I told people this, they immediately asked me one of two things:

1. Why on earth would you want to go to the gym?? You'll disappear!
2. To lose weight or to gain weight?

Now to people of the first category.. Hello? Going to the gym is not equivalent to wanting to lose weight! You can go there for general fitness too ya know! Exercise leads to a bigger appetite.

As for the others, is there really a need to ask such a question? Do I look demented to you? Do you really think even for a moment that I would consider spending an hour or so everyday to lose weight? I don't need a gym for that! I can do that with completely no effort on my part whatsoever..

So, of course, I tell these same people that I'm going to lose weight (with a completely straight face, mind you) and they totally fall for it. And at this point they become people of category 1. Its ridiculous.

Secondhand

When I go book hunting I prefer the secondhand stores. Unless its a recently published book, I stay away from 'proper' bookstores.. There's just some kind of immense joy I get when I find an Asterix, or Tintin, or Peanuts, or Garfield, or Calvin and Hobbes(Yeah I mostly go for comics..) secondhand. It just isn't the same when I look at a brand new copy.. one that hasn't been opened, spine intact, no writing on the first page..

And hey, theres always the fact that its cheaper to buy it secondhand. You can bargain with the seller too. And if you don't want to keep it, most sellers let you return it, charging a small reading charge (10-20). Its cheaper than a usual circulating library and therefore great!

If I see a used book store, I have to go in and browse. It's a compulsion. And I almost always walk away with a purchase. Not surprisingly, a large chunk of my pocket money goes in buying/borrowing books. (The rest of it goes in food, believe it or not..)

Most used bookstalls/stores have a majority of novels of every kind. I guess those are the most popular to read and return. When I can't find a comic I usually get one of those.

There used to be sooo many of these stores at Flora fountain.. pity the BMC decided to get rid of them. Thankfully they left the job half done and about 5-6 of these stalls remain. And on Sundays, it seems all the others who had to leave come and sell their books on the footpaths (the BMC is off on Sundays..). Thats when you can easily buy books for very cheap coz these people just want to get rid of their stock..
