Long absence

I so don't want to blog but it looks ridiculously empty if I don't. This is one reason why I don't keep a diary because I know the novelty will wear off and I won't be keeping the habit of writing. Perhaps I should ponder of deleting this journal once and for all! Yes! Who agrees with me? Or maybe I could explore a little bit more on blogspot. I spent hours today revamping my Friendster's profile. Learned quite a lot of new stuff until my eyes were bloodshot red. I hate CCS. I hate HTML. I hate video codes. I hate embedding audio codes. I hate everything about Friendster. Oh well, at least it was done at the end of the day and I am really proud of it. I think other competent programmers would have done it within seconds but hey, I am still in the beginner's stage. Now if only I could figure out how to insert some scrolling photos. That would be nice, not that I have any photos to show.

I hate ants! Stupid ants crawling on my table one by one. But I have the pleasure of smashing them to death. I hate it when they invade my laptop. I don't even have anything sweet to entice them. I will need to speak to the person who invented the phrase ada gula ada semut. This is more like ada semut tapi mana gulanya?  Freaking ants! Where is my Ridsect?!

I went out with Wina the other day for sungkai, we ate at Teoh Poi Hoon and then we ate again at Twelv. Yes, we ate twice. We were starving, ok? The kolomee was delicious at TPH but insufficient to satisfy my hunger. We went to Twelv and I had the home made beef burger with grilled mushrooms and golden crispy chips. Simply marvellous!

I went out with Achong and Gbam for sungkai last night at McDonald. We wanted to try Sanur's but it was already filled with people. I only had a pathetic beef burger which cost me $2.20 and it wasn't that nice anyway. Probably because I ate fried noodles from The Mall foodcourt with my friend during lunch time. Boy was I exhausted by the time I got home last night. Nonetheless I enjoyed a good day out.

DOME is open for business! Planning to go with Pancy on Tuesday for lunch and hopefully the fish and chips will be nice! Oh God, is there anything else I can talk about beside food? I am so hungry right now that I could chew my fingers off. Please feed me! I need food! Or maybe someone is pregnant. I always get the sympathetic hunger when I am around pregnant women. For some reasons I tend to eat for them. Yes I know it's illogical but don't question my weird behaviour.

I had bird flu vaccination on Thurs and it wasn't that awful. Nothing interesting to write about. All health workers have to be vaccinated because we are the front liners. I hope we won't get any bird flu case here. Imagine the chaos, it's beyond anyone's imagination.

My bank wire transfer hasn't reached my account yet. I thought bank wire is supposed to be fast but so far it has been as slow as a snail. Sigh! I could have used the money to invest more and the time wasted is unthinkable. The site told me that it could take up to 10 business day for the money to arrive. WTF! 10 business day for USD50 service paid? Or maybe it's our local bank? Not working efficiently because of Puasa month? Anyhow I have to chase them up again. Gold value dropped really low yesterday and it was the perfect time to invest in it! Sigh!

My petrol lasted me for 2 weeks! Can u believe it?! I need to save as much $ as possible! Looks like I will be leaving for Melbourne for a 5 days course and I am not too keen on that because I will be spending like mad. In December I will be going to Philippines and it's even worse. Oh God save me!!! I haven't even renewed my passport yet. Too lazy to do it, I will do it last minute as usual. Hahaha! I have been slacking off lately. Must be due to old age. I don't know. I just don't feel like doing anything serious. Thank God I won't be teaching after the end of this month otherwise my poor students will suffer. Come to think of it, they aren't that hardworking either. Only a handful of them are willing to learn. I hope I will get more people scoring credit this year but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Ooh, and about Herman... I KNOW! I really know!! Hahaha! Only someone will understand what I am saying here. Hehehehe!

Ok then, I think I am off to hunt for food again. Until next time, study hard and don't be lazy like me.

8:35 PM

Ramahdan Week 2

It’s 7pm and it’s too early to sleep. So I guess I will just have to write something here to pass the time. Today Espeed has been very slow. Usually I can download a program at 33kbps but today it’s less than 1kbps. That’s wonderful! Now I just have to wait for 300 hours before I can watch the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. Speaking of which, I have decided to ditch a few TV series since I cannot possibly watch every single one of them, and my laptop does require a time-out every now and then. I can’t believe that my laptop is nearly one year old! That means it has another 2-3 years of life before it starts to shut down. Perhaps even less than a year if I keep it on 24-7 to download stuff over the internet. Haha! The internal hard drive must have collected so many viruses, Trojans, and what not. I might go for a desktop with DVD writer and complete with 2GB RAM and 80GB of HDD. Oh, I also want a DVD player with sound system. And a Sony PSP so that I can download any of the TV series or movie and watch it wherever and whenever I want. I HAVE NEEDS FOR THEM! Give them to me please!!!

On a more serious note, Puasa month is not doing any good for me. Do you know that there are more than 50 food stalls at the stadium? I bought some food the other day and I was so bloated till I want to faint of hyperglycemia. Just for $4 and you can feed the whole family, well, figuratively speaking. I love pulut panggang! And I can’t wait to try out the new restaurant, Sanur, at The Mall. I think Min said it was horrible but I think her taste buds aren’t built for Indonesian cooking. I, on the other hand, simply adore Indonesian cooking! Problem is that that place is ALWAYS full. And it only opens at certain time. Sigh! Food food food… I want more please! I think I better force myself to climb the monstrously high hills at Shahbandar in the near future.

Have you ever felt different where someone contacted you after a long period of absence? Does absence really make the heart grows fonder? I guess it happened to me today. Someone messaged me earlier on and I had a good conversation with that person. Made me smile and all tingling inside. *Blushes*

That reminds me, I forgot to send in the application to make a new passport today. I wanted to do it today so that the expiry date would look cool at 10-10-2010. Perhaps I will opt for 20-10-2010. Probably it’s easier to remember. I also need to take photos as soon as possible and get someone to verify that it is me in the photo. Do you know the hassle I have to go through just to apply for a new passport? Heck, it’s not even considered a passport, more like international certificate of identity. Since I am only a Permanent Resident of Brunei and I was born here, I do not qualify for any type of official passport. I need visas just to visit overseas countries. I think I will migrate to any country who will give me a passport. Brunei is so ridiculous.

Anyway, I think that is all I have to write for now. Good night readers!

Ramadan

I need to cut my nails soon. They are growing ever so long and they don’t look really tidy and neat especially when dirt gets under them. I can’t have long nails since it would be quite unprofessional and I don’t think my clients would want to be treated with long nails. How often do I cut my nails? That is one mystery that I can’t to seem to solve for ages. The Malays believe that if you cut your nails on Thursday, you will be richer and if you do it on Friday, you will be more intelligent. Any other days would probably bring catastrophes and back luck but it’s just a myth, don’t you think? Speaking of myth, has anyone watched The Myth yet? I am planning to watch it sometime soon but I am just too lazy lately. Lest you forget, I have 15 TV series to catch up each week, so yeah, I am not into movies anymore unless they are really good like Harry Potter or some scary stuff.

I LOVE AUSTRALIAN MILO! It tastes so different from Malaysian type. It’s more chocolaty and rich, probably tastes even nicer with full cream milk. Oh, did I tell you about the time when I bought nine different brands of full cream milk? I think Dutch Lady has to be the creamiest by far but that’s just my opinion. UK’s milk is delicious but I can’t exactly travel thousands of miles just to get it. We do get Australian fresh milk but it gives me the ‘runs’ for some reasons. I suspect the lactose is dissimilar to local ones or probably the cows in Australia are on E or something. Have you ever seen a drunken cow?

Last Friday I went for a swim at stadium. The competition pool was closed temporarily since it was due for cleaning (you wouldn’t believe the amount of algae it collects in a day) so I went to the diving pool instead. Halfway through my first lap, a lifeguard (or so I thought since he came out from the lifeguard room [or so I thought since it is the only room occupied by people] across the pool) came and talked to me and he asked me not to wear an underwear to swim next time. I nearly drowned that second. I didn’t think I was that forgetful until I didn’t remember to change into my swimming trunk, how embarrassing that would be? I checked again and to my relief I was wearing my swimming trunk so I told him that I was wearing a swimming trunk and of course I knew no sane person would want to wear underwear and swim in the pool. Some people are so weird. They can’t differentiate between swimming trunk and underwear. I am deeply traumatized by his accusation. Perhaps next time I should swim fully clothed. Interesting thought there.

I went to Hua Ho Manggis last night with my friend. It was quite huge inside and reminded me of Parkson in Miri. Still the shops are the same, nothing new and before I knew it, I was bored in half an hour. I went to the electrical section and drooled at a couple of home theatre system. Price ranges from $399 to $1299. The plus point is that most DVD players come with DIVX codec meaning I can watch virtually anything I download from the internet, provided that they are encoded in DIVX format of course. Henceforth I don’t have to watch them on my laptop and squint my eyes at the same time. All I need now is a new plasma TV. And a big room. And a new house. And lots of money to do the previous things. Guess I will have to invest more! My investments are doing just fine. With any luck, I might be able to earn a few thousand dollars and pay off parts of my loan. Why do we Bruneians love to loan money? Are we that poor? Oh well, I suppose I should act wiser and try to save up as much as possible for emergency situation like a plasma TV or a home theatre system. Wait, did I just say that? No, I meant for life or death situation, like a plasma TV or a home theatre system. Ok, this is not working, I can’t get the idea out of my mind. Best to move on to the next topic.

Puasa is coming! That means I can go home at 2pm and nap! Although I will still have tuition almost everyday but at least I get to start early and finish early. I might contemplate to start hiking at Bukit Shahbandar if I feel up to it. Since the pool will be closed throughout the whole month (and the fact that I can’t swim in my underwear, duh!), I guess hiking would be a good alternative for exercising. The distance is far from my house and petrol will be a pain after a while. I feel like getting tone up again. It’s probably the time of the year. I don’t exactly feel fat (well, that is the understatement of the year) but I do feel out of breath at times. The other day I could barely climb a flight of stairs without panting like a dog and the makcik in front of me was not impressed by the sound that I made. Probably she thought I was harassing her sexually. I must make a note not to use the stairs until further notice.

My friend bought me a box of Belgian chocolates from Singapore and it was melted when I opened it. I left them in the freezer and I think it should be ready for consumption. But then again I just drank a cup of Milo and it’s nearly dinner time. I wouldn’t want to spoil my appetite for tonight’s special! Green peas stew! Eww… I miss luncheon meat. It is the tastiest thing I have ever eaten in my life. I love luncheon meat! Especially when you deep fry it and it becomes crispy and soaked with oil. Goodness me, I am salivating as we speak! Couple that with two fried eggs and some tomato ketchup, it’s heavenly satisfying. I had chicken chop with fried rice for lunch yesterday. I was bloated when I finished it and once again I had stomach upset. I ate chicken burger and fries from SugarBun for dinner. I could barely lie on the bed. The agony I out myself through is beyond my understanding. I should go on a fast and learn how not to eat so much. Gluttony has never looked good sometimes…

I bought two DVDs last night. Flight Plan and The Brother Grimms. Planning to watch one of them later if I am not tired. Oh, I forgot that my friend lent me his CSI: Miami Season 2. Yes, it’s official. I am a couch potato! Ooh, I love potato chips! Pringles! Once you pop, you can’t stop! Nice to eat you, to eat you nice!  

Bored to high plateau? Try playing this game. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/crimsonroom.html Try solving the clues and get out of the room. Try not to cheat. Try not to get mental if you don’t know what you are doing. Just try.

Or try spanking the monkey! http://www.ebaumsworld.com/spankmonkey.shtml I spanked the monkey at 638 miles per hour! Let’s see if you can do better!

A quick summary of the new TV series I started watching two weeks ago. Courtesy of Tv.com (not that I have asked from their permission).

Surface: Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the earth? “Surface” is an expansive drama and undersea adventure that centers on the appearance of mysterious sea creatures in the deep ocean -- and tracks the lives of four characters.

Threshold: Threshold revolves around a female government contingency analyst who leads a team of scientists and military personnel who get in contact with a mysterious alien lifeform.

Invasion: Man has searched the skies for centuries and has never come up with conclusive evidence to prove the existence of other forms of intelligent life. What if we have been looking in the wrong place? What if there were other forms of intelligent life already living among us? What if perceived natural disasters were really diversions created to conceal clandestine alien activities?

The Ghost Whisperer: Melinda Gordon is a young newlywed with the unique ability to communicate with the earthbound spirits of people who have died -- and who seek her help. Melinda uses her gift to relay significant messages and important information to the living, but sometimes the messages she receives are intense and confusing. As a result, she is often met with questions and skepticism by the survivors.

Bones: inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and novelist Kathy Reichs. Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperence Brennan, who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline, has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones.

Supernatural: Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as Dean and Sam Winchester, two brothers who travel the country looking for their missing father and battling evil spirits along the way.

Ok, I am off to do my online business now so until next time, have a good fasting month and good luck to all readers who are having their exams soon. Toodles!

TV Junkies

I am becoming a couch potato. Look at all the following table. So many TV series to download! I have already started downloading Bones, Supernatural and Threshold. Bones is more like CSI style except that crime scenes are investigated by studying the bones of the victims. Supernatural is more about, well, supernatural things. Purely science fiction, or is it not? Threshold is something like X-Files but more to do with aliens and stuff.

Poisoned

Yes, I was poisoned. I woke up this morning at about 3am and I felt very uncomfortable. My body reacted unkindly to the food I ate earlier last night and it was desperately trying to expulse all the undigested food out of the system. I ate Jolibee's burger and drank their Coke. I also ate char siew rice and drank a huge cup of Milo. At first I thought I was having another stomach upset but this time it felt different, also as if something foreign was lodging in my body I also had diarrhea and I lost a lot of fliud, to the point that I was practically dehydrated. I drank a cup of Eno and hoping it would release the discomfort in my stomach but to no avail. At the last hour, I decided to purge my stomach contents out and it was HORRIBLE! Anyone who has vomitted before will know the dreadful experience and I suspected that the culprit would have to be the char siew rice because it was a little off. I was not feeling any better after the first vomit but I went back to sleep. At about 5am, I woke up and I felt utterly weak and dizzy, and the nauseating feeling has returned. Keen to get rid of the unfavourable taste in my mouth, I puked again and it was much worse than before. By now the concentration was higher, and the after taste was simply REVOLTING. Had another diarrhea and I could barely walk back to my room upstairs so I decided to sit in the dinning room, drank a cup of warm water and recuperated for a bit before I summomed the strength and returned to my room. Thankfully I slept soundly but I was already exhausted. I am feeling much better now though I didn't have a lot to eat. I am taking as much water as possible, and hopefully I will be on my feet by tomorrow. Mum bought Thien Thien chicken rice during lunch and I didn't eat it till now, it smelled a bit off so I chose to throw it away. Better to be safe than sorry.

Fire

Ok, it’s time for another new entry of my wonderful life. It has been a week since I last blogged. As usual I don’t remember what I have been doing for the past 7 days so I guess I will just write whatever that comes to my mind. First of all, let me answer to my loyal taggers:

Zy ~ Yes, as I have suspected, Kevin has once again won the award for Most Forgetful Student this week. I suppose he was preoccupied or simply didn’t manage to remember the task given to him. Let’s hope he will succeed tomorrow. *Fingers crossed* *Toes crossed* *Eyes crossed*

Irene ~ Here you go! A new journal just for you, especially for you! *Wink*

Min ~ Here you go! A new journal just for you, especially for you! *Wink* And Koko Crunch is a chocolate breakfast cereals. You can get it at any supermarket.

Kevin ~ No you are not having Koko Crunch at Empire! At least not when you’re with me!

Yesterday I had a huge feast with Pancy. I must have put on 5000 kg of fats after having a binge. Work was hectic during the day. I had 7 cases to see, and I was exhausted by 4.30pm. I met up with Pancy at Fleur de Lys at Kiarong and I had chicken sandwiches and iced Ceylon Vanilla tea. Actually the tea wasn’t palatable because it tasted like plain iced tea with sugar syrup. No vanilla. No subtle hint of Ceylon (where is Ceylon? Sri Lanka? Geo students, please answer!) or whatsoever. Disappointing but at least the sandwiches were blissfully scrumptious. Pancy had a cup of hot tea (I forgot what flavour) and a slice of mango strudel. She said that it was delicious but of course no strudel is as nice as the apple strudel from Perth! How I wish I could sink my teeth into the soft crusty pastry and the silky smooth apple with velvety custard. It’s no wonder I can’t lose weight that easily. Hah! After our tea rendezvous, we went to The Mall and had a look around. I went searching for a mobile phone pouch but I didn’t find a good one. Most pouches cost $48 and above. I even found a leather pouch which was nearly $80! I could have sworn the material must be made of first class leather. Crocodile skin perhaps? Or kangaroo skin? Emu? Koala bear? Hmm… Anyway, I also bought the complete DVD set of CSI: Miami Season 3. I was getting too lazy to download the entire season using bittorrents and $24 for 24 episodes wasn’t too bad. We walked up and down the whole mall and finally we went to QQStation and browsed some phones. I wanted to buy a particular mobile phone pouch and I realized that it was the last one on the tray but it didn’t come with a belt clip like other models. I asked the shop assistant why but she said she didn’t know. I was frowning at her but I kept the comment to myself. If you have a shop and you don’t even know what you are selling, what is the point of opening the shop to the customers? Mental note to self: QQStation is unreliable though that particular pouch looks good and fashionable. Oh well… After that we went to Hypermart and I bought myself a new bolster and I love it! It is so soft and huggable, I could sleep soundly last night with it. I wonder if I drooled on it? Eww! There were so many things to buy at the electrical section and I wouldn’t mind having a new DVD player as Teachers’ day present *looks at everyone* We then went to Nyonya restaurant and had a huge dinner. We ordered i) sweetcorn and crab meat soup which we couldn’t finish because it was so starchy; (ii) sizzling tofu which we finshed because it was so nice; (iii) I ordered buttermilk chicken with rice and needless to say I gobbled it up; and (iv) Pancy ordered butter chicken with fried rice but she couldn’t finish it because she doesn’t have an abyssal tummy like me! Haha! Anyway, I went home at around 8pm, showered, watched CSI and went to sleep at 11pm.

Today was quiet at work. I only had one case to see. Attended a presentation on cardiac rehabilitation. Also had an unofficial staff meeting which was rather forthcoming but due to confidentiality, I am not allowed to discuss the matter here. La de da! Oh yeah, I burned my hair with fire on Sunday night and nearly burned my room. I was actually lighting the aromatherapy kit and silly of me, I did it on my bed. Since my bed was rather bouncy, it toppled and the lid came off, the oil spilled and caught fire from the igniting wick. I sustained a minor flash burn to my face and thank goodness my eyes were not injured. I felt a hot sensation my face when it happened for a split second and the smell of pungent singed hair quickly filled my room. I dashed to the mirror and checked that my vision was unaffected but I could feel my eye lids were scorched. When I turned around, I realized that my bed was literally on fire and my old bolster was burning at a very alarming rate. Damage done: a huge ugly hole in my bolster, bed sheet and mattress. Luckily I managed to put out the fire by cutting out the oxygen (I sat on it with another pillow). It was a marvelous experience but I wouldn’t want to repeat it in the future. I checked my hair at the front and I could see ashes falling from my head. The smell was utterly offensive and I nearly puked. I had to clean up my room and washed my hair several times to get rid of the sickening odor. My hair was obviously damaged and I am contemplating to shave my head so that new hair can grow. Lesson learned: NEVER BURN ANYTHING ON THE BED!

Ok, I think that is sufficient for now, I need to go and have a shut eye. Till next week, have fun during the school holiday!

In less than 2 weeks, new TV series seasons will be out! Desperate Housewives, Lost, CSI, CSI: Miami, CSY: NY, Charmed. Stay tuned for new series: Surface, Bones.

Update as requested by ireNe

I am not taking any chances by writing on Bravejournal, just in case page cannot be loaded and I will lose everything that I have typed. Anyway, this is a quick update as requested by Irene since she insists that I should write something for her to read so that she won’t be bored with nothing to read. Phew! What a long sentence! Anyway, last Friday I went to Empire to watch Red Eye with my sister. We wanted to watch it at The Mall but since we couldn’t make it on time, we went to Empire to catch the 9.10pm show. My sister actually brought a box of Koko Crunch with her and when I asked her what was with the cereal, she told me with a straight face that she wanted to eat it while watching the movie. I nearly hit the lamp post when I heard the reply. Koko Crunch at EMPIRE? I threatened to throw her at the beach if she didn’t change her mind and luckily for her sake, she complied. Anyway, the movie was decent. Since it was only about 90 minutes long, it kind of wrapped up nicely in the end and I didn’t expect too much of anything. A good thrilling movie which will keep you on the edge of your seat but not enough to make you climax like a oversexed cow.

Saturday was good fun because I went to The Mall and queued up to register for b.mobile prepaid line. It took me three bloody hours to get it done and I was the 14th person in the queue. There were only two counters opened for prepaid registration and 8 counters for postpaid. I felt like burning the place down for such slow service and to think that the staff would have the brains to open up more counters but no, they had only two miserable snail-service counters. Anyway, I paid $24 for the line and managed to get my wanted number. Come to think of it, why do I even need a b.mobile line? I guess all the hypes got to me and I was brainwashed by the adverts in the newspaper. I think the ads have subliminal messages embedded into their contents and people are drawn into buying it. Hmmm… I went for a late lunch with a friend at Netzone and we regretted it very much. The buttermilk chicken tasted like expired butter and sour milk frozen chicken. I never ever want to go there again! Yuck yuck yuck!!! Should have gone to Thien Thien instead *looks at Irene*. Hmpf!

Borrowed CSI: Miami Season 1 DVD box set from the same friend and needless to say I was hooked when I came home. Unfortunately out of 26 episodes I was only able to watch 4 of them because the DVDs were not functioning properly, or rather my DVD player didn’t seem to be able to read the data from the DVDs. I was quite annoyed with that but I gave up after trying cleaning the DVDs with Clorox, Breeze, WD-40 and so on. La la la… Since I was very keen in watching CSI, I went to Chong Hock the next day and bought other movies with the same predicament. Movies kept on skipping and I was pissed by the end of the day. Oh, I didn’t get CSI because I was skeptical of its quality hence I decided not to buy it at that moment. Sunday I went for a swim in the afternoon. It wasn’t a hot day but I felt like I was sunburned from the minute I stepped out of the changing room. Perhaps my skin is no longer to adapt to the sunlight. Best to put on some sun-block cream next time! Went to Gadong pasar malam to buy something to eat. Duh! I bought chicken rice and it wasn’t that bad but it did leave a weird aftertaste in my mouth which I couldn’t get rid off even I brushed my teeth 987 times. I slept at around 1am, woke up at 7am on Monday morning. I have no idea what I did for that day. I think I was trying to convince Pancy to skip her afternoon class to watch a movie but I’m proud to say that she didn’t fall for my devilish plan! Hehehe! I went back to Chong Hock and bought CSI: Miami from disc 1 to 2 only. So far everything is okay, and I was able to watch all episodes with little problem. Watched another Chinese movie and slept at 11.30pm.

This morning I woke up early without replying on my alarm clock. I felt quite energetic and looked forward to work after a long break from the office. I was bombarded with patients in the morning and had a few unexpected ones attending therapy at the same time. Still, I enjoyed the pacing up and down, left right and center until I was nearly bonked out by lunch. I had to run a few errands during lunch time so I dropped by at The Mall to look at the ever so tempting 3G phones. They are unspeakably expensive but necessary if you want to use b.mobile. Guess I will have to start saving money and eating less outside. Boo hoo! Packed lunch for me from now on! Sardines anyone?

Ok, I think my eyes are complaining and I can’t afford to write anymore. If I go on any further, my hands will hurt and I am not supposed to type more than 500 words according to my therapist. Ah well, it’s for the good of the readers *looks at Irene*. Until next journal, live long and prosper! I'm leaving you with a joke:

 

A Guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde.
He immediately turns to her and makes his move.

"You know," he says,"I've heard that flights will go quicker if you
strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to
the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know,"says the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me
ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff--grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow
turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop.
Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest
idea."

"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to
discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"
