[INTERMISSION ENDS]
These few days have been wacky, as you can obviously imply from the title of this entry. Strangely i cannot recall much without the sheer use of willpower. So let me think realllly hard.
Lets start off with Dec 31, New Years Eve. I was at marco's place and he has a huge place. Apparently he speaks either spanish or portugese and he has these really great friends, and makes really great alcoholic fruit punches. Thats all i can remember though.
Between 1st and 7th of Jan, i've been out with random people, mostly playing cs and dota at a cybercafe and then hanging out for snacks at the local hawker stores. Somewhere between then, i also went to labi and i met a few folks, most of which were scuba divers on our second trip to labi. On our second trip to labi, we went to another place instead, and apparently this was the _one waterfall_ that everyone was talking about. Here was a beautiful waterfall and directly in the path of the water falling, there exists ropes for people to climb up the waterfall, in the waterfall. To get up a waterfall with water falling hard on you is a rather interesting experience. You'd think that it would be difficult with all that gravity and water acting on you, but that wouldnt be the case. Rather the water hits you so hard and loud on your head and face, that you can hardly see or hear anything but water. It also messes with your sense of direction so half of the time people just slip and fall back into the water. 3 of us, out of 7 or 8, managed to climb up this liquid monstrosity, and we explored the rapids up till a sharp corner.
And this was probably among one of the most beautiful and amazing nature experiences i've had in my life. Up the rapids, the water was flowing on smooth bed rock filled with pot holes, it broke off occasionally to form two vertically seperated but converging currents - each on two alternating levels. I'am not too sure if you can imagine that, but its really something really astonishing. Further up on the rapids, there were these natural seats carved perhaps by time and rocks into human fitting bedrock where you could actually sit in it and have currents pulsating on your back for the ultimate spa/jacuzzi experience. I swear, one session in these nature spas would restore you by atleast 10 years back to when you feel like you just got your first erection or turn on. And just when you think you heard it all, theres the monkeys.
Not only do they have natural jacuzzis up there, there were also monkeys who served you alcohol. Once you made yourself comfy on these bedrocks, half a dozen monkeys would jump down with pen and paper to take your cocktail order and serve you anything you fancy. We all ordered a few coronas and san miguels and just chilled out at the ultimate nature chillout lounge.
Nah i was fucking joking about the monkeys.
After the monkeying session and other random stuff that i'am feeling lazy to write about, we went back. Luckily this time there were no leeches. Thank the reinvented god.
The next thing that comes into my mind was the 7, 8 and 9th of January. Thats sunday, monday and tuesday. We had a huge party at adams place, and i got really high on redbull and vodka. The strangest thing ever was that when i puked, there were leaves in my puke. These were full leaves about 2 cm in length, and they looked like oxidized tea leaves. I didnt really know what the hell they were but i sure was surprised that theres leaves in my stomach. Perhaps they were something else and perhaps i was high. I did eat satay before i puke though but i swear to god, they had the exact look, shape and consistency as tea leaves. Either the satay was cooked with some sort of herbal leaves or i was actually eating grass. But oh well, i'am still alive so thats a great thing.
Before my great puking session there was also a snake wine drinking session. More specifically cobra snake wine from Vietnam that our hosts obtained from a certain minister in Vietnam.
Now let me describe this intriguing object.
In a very general sense, it is a typical ~600ml whisky bottle, with the typical double arched slender shape at the sides and a flat bottom, the wine bottle has a larger width then its height , but this width slowly decreases and tapers off to form the neck and the cap section of the bottle. The bottle can be described as fat and flat. What was inside it was a baby or adolescent cobra, coiled at its ends which rested at the bottom of the bottle, with its head rising spectacularly into the typical cobra agitated stance - with its head spread horizontally out and its jaw opened slightly to reveal a forked tongue. Surrounding this spectacle was ginseng roots and what was probably rice wine. The hosts saw our iminent fascination with this and brought us shot glasses. I had 2 shots of this rather flavourful wine, on which the second shot i nearly puked. The wine didnt taste that bad, tequila and vodka straight up is much much more worst, but the psychological image of the snake and everything really does make the typical non exotic wine drinker feel like shit.
[EDIT - i found a picture of this online, dont you just love the internet]
After the snake debacle, we chilled out and listened to assorted folks playing the guitar and singing. We had a few slighly morals and philosophy debate. This (rather cute) british girl believed that it was the innate function of every person to be materialistic and want more, and that those people who are not inherently materialistic are ignorant. I argued that people have a choice to be materialistic or not, and that people are merely forced to conform by peer pressure from branding and the media to have the idealistic notion that more stuff is better. That the happiest people, are indeed people from the undeveloped nations (Statiscally, happiest people are the Filipinos), and whether relevant or not, i would gladly choose to be happy than to have more. Though between being happy and knowing more, I would choose the latter. Cause i do agree with her that happiness does require abit of ignorance about human affairs and the human condition.
Apart from that, I also told them that humans have the largest dicks among all primates, much to their amusement. Perhaps this is no small feat if the word primate conjures up images of chimps and bonobos in your mind, but think of the gorilla, usually 2 to 3 times the average human in size and weight, yet only having 4 cm of erected wang for sex. This is unrelated but, personally i think that sex is an integral part to human evolution, and that evolution favours those who give better sex to their partners.
Apart from that, we jumped into the pool at the party which was awesome. After that, we just socialized and talked alot. Roger took lots of pictures which i will probably be posting in another seperate entry. At about 5am, we went to serasa beach to look at the stars which were awesome. It was a perfectly clear sky, visibility was awesome and you could see a whole 360 degrees worth of stars. Later, we went to Shahbandar, which was a recreation park, and hiked up a hill or two to look at the sunrise, and that was awesome too. Stars and sunrise - very nice combination. After that, we had some indian and malay food and went home.
I remember i had to do this wacky christian praise music video-audio editing for one of our customers. With all due respect to religion, this was 5 mins of few hundreds of people singing and coordinating hand movements along the lines of world peace, love and breaking the chains of mistrust and selfishness. To see a few hundred people with their faces so full of awe and abandon to me is a very sad image. I find it very hard not to correlate such an image with that of nazi soldiers, maoist-styled communism (everyone with their little red book) or george orwell's 1984. Also the sheer idealism these people have with the one-sided ideals of hope, love and peace borders on the obsessive and fanatical.
I slept after i finished my work, and we went to the border when i woke up. This was the 10th. We had awesome chicken wings, stingray and fish, and then after that we went home and i slept early.
Then today or atleast, 3 hours ago, which was the 11th. We .. hmm lets not talk about today :)
That much be such a spoiler. But oh well, shit happens.
Life is fun. Someones gotta enjoy it, why not you.

I am interested in both careers. I have worked as a pharmacy tech and I enjoy working in the pharmacy very much, so I am interested in going to Pharmacy school. I am also interested in dentistry. My mom is a dentist and I have shadowed her several times and I like what this profession does as well. How do I decide between the two?

I need a ton of dental work done and am totally freaked out about it. I have medical assisstance, and am planning on going to the U of MN Dental School. Does anyone know if dental schools use sedation dentistry? I have trouble sitting through a regular dental appt, and the school appts are 2x as long. I know why, I just don't think I can sit thru an appt there w/out something to knock me out.

I need close to $2,000 of work done on my teeth, but I get extremely nervous when I know I have a dentist appointment comming up. When I am at the appointment, I get even more scared and i've had a panic attack. I've been reading people's experiences with sedation dentistry and it sounds like the way to go for me. I am also aware that it does cost more, but my question is how much more? As I stated before, I need around 2,000 dollars of work done, so approximately how much would that be if I took the sedation route?

Im failing it so bad its not even funny, but im doing well with my other courses. So all im wondering is that if it is a prerequisite for dentistry or becoming a pharmacist. I want to go to a university.

I essentially really enjoy this idea, and are already considering about this sort of thing for any even though now (ways to greater leverage personalized connections for over the internet dating). The via the internet dating area is broken. It really is like impersonal buying, and it really is a room which is grossly overdue for the tune up that integrates social connections inside a neat and productive way. Leveraging Facebook to permit persons to play matchmaker, makes a ton of sense. If you have time.Please enter my blog build your own laptop

In an attempt to fight lousy spamming to my wordpress blog, I probably would put a little disclaimer adjacent to the comment box. I probably would make it possible for the site readers recognise that I encourage these individuals to publicize their particular internet pages as long as they add some positive information correlated to the content. I really don't mind doing work just a little bit if you want to end up getting a respectable link.

Creating a Mosque at Ground Zero has to be the silly notion within the history of humans, I definitely sense that it must be purposely specifically designed, at best, to insight controversy. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but nonetheless , this really is possibly shameful or noxious, in all likelihood both of those. alana

You can apply for financial aid, and go to massage therapy school. Massage school is 5 to 9 mos. Starting pay is 60 to 200 dollars an hour!!!! Massage is the best alternative medicine.
