Roulette, You’re Goin Round in a Spin!
My pet dog Shaggy, striking a pose. She’s a 9-year old Australian terrier.
I’m feeling peevish today, simply because I haven’t had proper sleep since Monday. I was averaging about 6 hours, 2 hour short of my routine time. I feel like kicking someone’s arse right now, but I shall do the next best thing instead, i.e. volcano it out on my blog for all to see. Bring on the topics!
Doggone Tamilians!
What’s with yesteryear Indians and the need to prolong an alleged culture. I can’t speak tamil for nuts but it doesn’t mean I’m not civilized. These folks been dwelling under the coconut husk for so long that they can’t distinguish culture from tamil movies (they think it’s one and the same). BTW, I detest tamil/hindi films – really stupid synopsis with thick-skulled acting. So what if India releases 900 films a year, they’re all the same rotten plot.
Polarization is becoming a cause for concern these days. Most of my friends in college were regrettably Indians. The “muhibahness” somehow got vanished in the process when we exited school. I’m an advocate against having national schools in Malaysia. We should abrogate them all before racial polarization becomes too prejudicial to remedy. We should even polish off the word “RACE” from all forms. Why RACE? Aren’t we all MALAYSIANS – A single race? Why do we need such a detrimental question for? Bollocks to that!
Coffee, Tea or Pappadoms?
I’m neither a coffee nor a tea drinker. If you put a gun to my head, then I’ll choose coffee. I used to enjoy coffee when I was young but I pull the plug some 10 years ago. I’m more of a H20 drinker these days. I’ve set about this habit when I was 12, chugging away water like there’s no tomorrow. I must have water around me – the office, at home while watching tv, while reading paper, while surfing the net. I can’t live without my H20. This, has over the years, has consecrated me with a commodious bladder. 
Fat Albert and the Alcohol Gang (Extracted from Askmen.com)
Alcohol makes you fat. What you don’t realize is that a couple of beers one night and a few glases of liquor on the weekend all conduce to your spare tire. When alcohol enters the body, it is given “first class” treatment. This doesn’t mean that it’s giving your body what it needs, but that it is metabolized and absorbed more quickly than anything else in your body. When you have a drink, your body converts a small amount of the alcohol consumed into fat. The rest — the large majority of it — is converted by the liver into a substance called acetate. Acetate is released into the bloodstream and is used as the body’s primary source of fuel and energy.
Seems good that the body is burning the alcohol, right? Think again. Your body is using the alcohol and not the stored fat in your body as energy. Not to mention that the unused alcohol calories are also being stored as fat. Recent studies have shown that some men have a gene that makes them especially susceptible to abdominal weight gain. If you’re one of these unlucky guys, you are even more likely to develop a gut from drinking.
Think you’re going to avoid gaining weight by ordering mixed drinks when you go out? There is a myth that beer is the only alcohol that gives you a belly, but hard alcohol — especially when combined with fruity or sweet mixers — can pack on the pounds just as fast.
It takes 3,500 calories to lose or gain one pound of fat; therefore, mixing drinking with snacking (a normal combination) makes it very easy to gain weight rapidly.
“Roulette you’re goin’ round in a spin,
Caught up in a game you just can’t win
Roulette, you’re just a fantasy
It’s everything that you want it to be” – Bon Jovi – Roulette (Bon Jovi, 1984)
