Strange but Wonderful World


Felt so silly yesterday when I fell asleep and missed my stop on my bus home.

It was funny because i actually shoke myself up about a stop or two before the one i needed to get off. i should have stayed up but instead chose to fall back asleep hahaha. how smart of me. Woke up and realised i was at Toapayoh central.. that aside, isn't it amazing how our body work? Like the natural body alarm that keeps us on time for work or school every morning and how we can seemingly sleep on our trains and buses but always wake up just on time to get off?

Anyway, since i was in central i decided to go get the Anti-frizzzz Serum Puay Ching recommended for my hair. I hope it's good. Because you can never actually make a decision when you're at the store. The marketing effort on such products, I find, often incredibly plausible (sense my sarcasm?) Haha, the product description on some might even provide you with a good laugh - especially those foreign products where english isn't the prevalent language practiced.

As an example here's what the back of the Anti-frizz Serum I got says,

"nourishes, calms, smooths, silky, manageable results ...provides nutrition and protection for an intense smoothing. Your hair is nourished from root to tip and protected from the effects of humid and dry condition, such as frizz and puffiness. Your hair is silky and manageable."

Hahaha just look at the number of positive locution used and the promise! and this is already considered one of the more subdued ones i assure you.

I guess this is why we shouldn't trust marketers x)

Speaking of which do you know Horoscopes work with the same theory beneath? only with a twist. I like to call it the theory of cogitative matching. Basically it entails speculation where writers write in random or possibly, in chronologic order and readers simply try to find connections and relevance on the basis of their daily lives. That's why sometimes you really find no link in what's written but when something eventually does, it hits you. It's a simple theory but it works, so it keeps people reading. Especially those females who never fail to enjoy fantasizing or contemplating on a little something about what might happen later in their day - like meeting their prince charming. haha. Come on ladies, don't deny! ;)


I for one, remain skeptical about Horoscope reading and only do so when i slumber upon it in the papers or on some magazines i happen to read. After all, some of them can be really interesting 


can autumn possibly be over before you know it?
If so, I silently hope my sweet winter comes soon.
Because time is short..
