Why do you cry when you cut onions?


I was cutting onions last night and I cried. Why?

Because of my gifted intelligence, I googled for answers ;)

Results:

Cutting an onion releases an enzyme called lachrymatory-factor synthase. This starts the process that leads to tears. This enzyme then reacts with amino acids of the onion and the amino acids are converted to sulfenic acids. The sulfenic acids spontaneously rearrange to form syn-propanethial-
S-oxide, which is released into the air. When this chemical reaches the eyes, it triggers the tears by contacting nerve fibers on the cornea that activate the tear glands. Now you are crying.

Scientists have tried to make a “noncrying” onion but it seems that the crying enzymes are also responsible for the zesty onion flavor. But there may be some hope on the way. The group of Japanese plant biochemists that only recently discovered lachrymatory-factor synthase, the crying enzyme, believe that “it might be possible to develop a nonlachrymatory onion by suppressing the lachrymatory-factor-synthase gene while increasing the yield of thiosulphinate.” Sounds delicious!

In the meantime there are several solutions to try to avoid the problem of onion-induced tears. Heating onions before chopping, cutting under a steady stream of water, or wearing goggles.

The most reliable: ordering takeout.

Conclusion: Doesn't mean you're a woman, you will cut without any tears =p

Back... I hope.

Hi ppl, been a long time since I last updated this. So far, I've been:

-Battling clinical depression
-Failed an exam.
-Finding the meaning of all this.
-Wondering why bad things happen to good people.


At the moment I'm in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere, been lying on the same bed for days, going out only to smoke and food. Oh yeah, the nearest town is about 20 mins walking distance.
Should be in Brunei now if it wasn't for some stupid piece of shit. Now I'm waiting for a resit that may be earliest the end of this month.

Anyways, a friend of mine just broke up with his girlfriend of 6 yrs, turned out there was another man, sad , just sad. I really thought they'd get married. He was your ideal boyfriend, looked sharp and was nice and spiritual, but no, some women just think that its never enough, yep all of that sacrifice for nothing. I just wonder why things are the way they are now. Women cheat more, usually men would. Oh yeah in case you are wondering this post has nothing to do with me nor a certain someone, just some advice for men out there that love their partners with all their hearts,just so you can find the signs before shit happens.

BoldSigns She's Cheating on You

The article is here.

Okay , its just too much to paste and comment, so I'm just gonna take some extracts.

She nags you incessantly

Okay, everytime you talk to her, she'd be quick to point out your mistakes and take every opportunity to lash out on you. Its just not like how it used to be, yeah you don't know what's wrong but everytime you ask her what's wrong its always 'nothing'.

She has a mysterious friend

This one is interesting, usually when you ask her who that guy is, she'll tell you, but you know things are different when she says "just a friend friend'' and does not want to share anything about him. You don't have any clue who he is, and this guy seems to pop out of nowhere , active on her facebook wall or something, and you know they have gotten close. Yeah , I think this is the most prominent sign . So don't be surprised when you see them on a date a few weeks after your breakup.

You Become Irrelevant

Gone are the days when she would ask how was your day, now she doesnt even give a shit how you are doing, she's gone for days at a time , doing god knows what, probably finding more and more excuses to not talk to you.


Yeah it may not be cheating if she didn't go out with other guys when you were together, but most of the cases I know see that the girl has made contact with the guy during the relationship, and somehow the girls, (some of them being the slut they are), would find reasons and excuses to break up with you just so she can be with the other guy. Technically it's not cheating, but I still think that makes her a slut.

and yeah, you do feel bitter and angry after that, its normal, but what to do huh....

Here's something I read and if you want to fuck up their lives just use it.

If you manage to see your cheating ex with her new man, just look him in the eyes, and ask ..

"How did I taste , motherfucker?"

Be sure to have worked out your body before that though, maybe it'll come to fisticuffs. So learn some moves, I prefer a knee strike to the middle of the chest , yeah that's what you get for stealing.

So guys , just beware, some women won't care of what you have done, some of them just see your bad qualities and never even think of taking into account all the good things you've done.
Some of them would do unthinkable things, things that'll break you down.

Ramadhan

This maybe late, but..

I think, it is our right to tell people(friends, family even strangers).

What is Ramadan?
The 9th month of the Islamic calendar, which is based on the orbiting of the moon (lunar calendar), rather than the orbiting of the earth (solar calendar). It was in the month of Ramadan in which the Quran (Our Holy Book) was first revealed.

What is Fasting?
We(the Muslims) will hold, and no substitute should be introduced into the body, which could be considered as providing nourishment to the body. Fasting also involves abstaining from evil intentions and desires.

This might be a short post, but I just feel like to spread it.

JazakAllahukhair.

Business

When you tell me small fish can't survive in big ocean. It is actually not a true and decent answer to be given out. Every golden fish first started as a small one. In real life when you start your company, its either cos you are loaded with money and start up big (pre-mades) or you start small and grow intelligently. For that you need to adapt and react quickly and surely be wise in your choice of employees and all. A great company starts with great minding, great president and great employees. :)
That does sound like a success, and rather known as income.
I do think I can gather this all together. Its not a 100% sure of success but the odds are better with some decent tools :D

Go for it FTW!

nais



Lawa eh.
O.o

mHmm..

Went to local store today and found this awesome product!
Why is it awesome?
Look closely. =P


Oral me? would anyone?

Haven't tried it yet, but it does look brilliant. I would buy, if I weren't going out my parents.
I think Oral-me is the only legal sex tools in Brunei, and it is approved.
All in my mind now is how to work it, to reach our climax.

Oral-me puh-lesh?

Cliky! Clicky!

The Fridge That Will change the course of history -(in warsash)

I stepped into the reception building, ducks outside were quacking somehow
reminding me that tragedy and injustice will inevitably happen. There
was something odd about the quacks, they weren't quacking like ducks normally
do, their tune and rhytm was somehow ... different,they were conveying a
message hidden in the quacks, of sorrow and pity.I could feel that their tiny
eyes were following me.
sad sad ducky

My hopes were high,just two nights ago, a few clicks on my mouse and assurances from the heat
has led me to acquire a fridge, a mini fridge on ebay.
The fridge came with a mini cabinet above the fridge compartment. The fridge was inside a
mahogany case,which led some of my colleagues to ponder, how can an appliance looking so grand
be sold at the lowly cost of 50 pounds?

It was probably stolen from a hotel or something, theorised my friend.


Yes, the fridge itself, in all its glory.




As I pushed the door, I realised that it wouldn't budge,this is because the door may only open, as I discover, if it was pulled, thus the PULL sticker conveniently placed upon the door.

I opened the door and there it was, a box , quite large I must say, yet somehow sold as a mini fridge. I was searching for signs that this box has to be it, the mini fridge, for even though it was only 2 nights ago that I press the 'pay now' button, the seller on Ebay has gotten no ill feedbacks, somehow I find this reassuring so I made my way to the reception that morning.

I vehemently searched the box for signs that it was my possession, and as I glanced over the top, a paper framed with brown tape reminded me of my name.This confirms that this thing is mine.

Feeling relief and somehow tasting victory, I quickly realised that two figures were standing near the box and I couldnt help but notice that they were looking quite grumpy.

Photo taken in essence.

I knew these two figures, one was the woman from reception, she was the one sporting shoulder length brown hair, and looked quite young, unlike most of the characters I stumbled upon in this dreaded place, she smiles whenever we go to reception to pick up our items.

Actually does look kind of like this.

The other one, we go a long way back, back in phase one,just before we flew home,a bottle of ketchup was spilt on the floor and the bedsheets were untidy, she soon accused us of conducting a pagan ritual of sacrificing virgins and goats and continuing after that with an orgy of sorts with beasts and amongst each other,bathed in blood.She has been waging a crusade against the Bruneians for a long time, a crusade which she still continues today. All in the name of a little something called 'Health and Safety'.
We didn't do this....

or this.

My seniors have told me stories about her tyranny,she ruled the two blocks with an iron fist, she was the accommodation officer/tyrant/dictator/supreme ruler/ empress/duchess of doom.


"Oh this is mine.'' I said with a hint of a smile, pointing towards the box.

The reception woman who was in front of me, her face soon turned into disgust and the satanist accommodation supreme overlord turned back, murmuring what seemed to me a satanist prayer, and made her way to the other room, letting the reception woman deal with me.

What used to be a demure smile upon her face was wiped off completely,and replaced with eyes filled with rage, I could almost hear those teeth grinding together, and if we lived in an animated world, steam would be coming out of her ears, she would be breathing fire and stayed mid air, grow to twice her size while I become a small puny midget caught off guard by the relentless nagging.

But we dont live in that kind of world do we..



"No, you shall not have this." she exclaimed, her delivery of that statement was shaky and she looked terrified, but was firm and wanted to project the image of authority.*cough*oppression*cough*.

I was relaxed, after all, I was used to these things,for example;

-A skinny white boy with a puny dick gave me a finger while driving past in his small car, his girlfriend was in the passenger seat, I think he was trying to impress that girl,wow, how puny must your penis be that you have to drive past someone at a considerable speed just to give a finger to impress a woman, nah she must be a bitch/whore/slut/easy to please since she smiled and looked impressed.
-Personnel at the registry counter ,"hey there is a Bruneian here wanting to talk to you", a 'man' would suffice, why did you have to say Bruneian, are there protocols that you would have to follow, one that has something to do with making uninviting faces, lies, inhumane treatment and colonialism?

"May I enquire as to why I cannot take this?" I asked.

She was taken aback,it was as if she was thinking,"oh my god, what do I do, he questioned my statement, this cannot be, the power of satan must be held high and supreme, our darklord lucifer will not tolerate such behaviour!!"

"In the name of health and safety, you shall not have this, it is too bulky and you may injure yourself carrying this back to your room."Again, she was kind of nervous, it was as if she was almost stuttering, she was also blinking quite a lot, as if about to faint, or maybe that is what happens when you have a demonic spirit inside of you trying to channel its lord's
word.

I just stayed silent, after all it was just a fridge, which was quite cheap, if I couldn't keep it, I'll just sell it.

But no, she had to continue,"Sir, we have been assuring this many times to the campus residents, we allow mini fridges , about like this...."

She moved her arm, in her mind she was creating an illusion of a mini fridge and showed me how big the mini fridge that she let others take into their room, oh by others I meant non-foreign people.

And so I thought "That big? that's only enough for 4 cans maximum."

She continued her lecture,"Other than that (me being foreign?), this fridge may cause a power outage, we cannot have this taking energy out of the system(the system where you suck souls?)"

She continued on with her demonic propaganda and spreading lies.



I just listened to this and I tried to reason with this demon, reminding her that it was sold as a mini-fridge.

Like most demon infested souls, she wouldn't listen, and continued with this satanic lecture , topics which include among other things, the power this mini fridge holds, confirming 'inequality exists bi-atch,deal with it',more satanist propaganda.

I couldn't let my mind be taken by demons, I had to go away, I just walked fast trying to get out, this was just too much.

I pushed the door this time , I made it, I was outside, I can still sense her presence behind, and I could hear that there were whispers, I imagined she was standing there , eyes red with a grin, and demons encircling her, all whispering to her ears, congratulating for this small victory.

"You have done well my child."

I continued and never looked back, I'm furious but content, I just know that one day, like it always been proven time and time again in history,good will always triumph over evil, the light will always defeat the dark, I know one day that fridge will be mine,one day it will be a symbol,signifying the victory, it's just a matter of time.
