Is it a dream, or stress?

This blog is inspired by the entry of Weird Feeling in Enjoying Boredom.

Do read that entry first before continuing reading here.

I had a similar dream quite long time ago and it's still clearly visioning in my mind now.

This is how the dream is like...

I was laying on my bed. Then just out of sudden I started to float as if I was to go off to somewhere. But I grabbed hold on to the rail of the bed tightly, not wanting to let go. I was afraid... afraid of if I ever let go, I may not come back again. And by that probably not going to wake up anymore.

After waking up, it didn't feel good at all.

And...this is NOT a made-up story.

I had this same dream not only for one time, but several times.

It was all the same, and repeating.

But after the last time, which probably was like 6 or 7 years ago, or maybe longer which I'm also not sure, I did thought of trying to let go one time in the dream to see what's going to happen.

Until now, I never have that dream again.

Weird? It sure is. But true, so is it...

But then again, most probably I'll take it as a stress symptom. Even if I am ever going to have this dream again, one thing for sure...I'm not letting go that easy. This is just not my attitude...wahahaha.

Happy New Year, Happy 2008!!!

Basic Table Manners

I always wanted to do a research on this topic. But it's either didn't came across my mind when I'm online, or it's still didn't came across my mind....wakaka, what the heck.



Anyway...here are them...

------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Table Manners (Click Here for link)

• It is inappropriate to ask for a doggy bag when you are a guest. Save the doggy bag for informal dining situations.

• It is best to order foods that can be eaten with a knife and fork. Finger foods can be messy and are best left for informal dining.

• Do not order alcoholic beverages. Drinking too much when dining out is one of the most disliked behaviors.

• Do not smoke while dining out.

• Sit up straight at the table. It makes a good impression.

• When you are not eating, keep your hands on your lap or resting on the table (with wrists on the edge of the table). Elbows on the table are acceptable only between courses, not while you are eating.

• Do not season your food before you have tasted it.

• Never chew with your mouth open or make loud noises when you eat. Although it is possible to talk with a small piece of food in your mouth, do not talk with your mouth full.

• Do not slurp soup from a spoon. Spoon the soup away from you when you take it out of the bowl and sip it from the side of the spoon. If your soup is too hot to eat, let it sit until it cools; do not blow on it.

• If food gets caught between your teeth and you can't remove it with your tongue, leave the table and go to a mirror where you can remove the food from your teeth in private.

• Eat rolls or bread by tearing off small bite size pieces and buttering only the piece you are preparing to eat. When ready for another piece, repeat the same process.

• Engage in table conversation that is pleasant but entirely free of controversial subjects.

• You should not leave the table during the meal except in an emergency. If you must go to the bathroom or if you suddenly become sick, simply excuse yourself. Later you can apologize to the host by saying that you didn't feel well.

• If you need something that you cannot reach easily, politely ask the person closest to the item you need to pass it to you. For example, "After you have used them yourself, would you please pass me the salt and pepper?"

• If a piece of your silverware falls onto the floor, pick it up if you can reach it and let the server know you need a clean one. If you cannot reach it, tell the server you dropped a piece of your silverware and ask for a clean one.

• If you or someone you are dining with is left-handed, it is best for the left-handed person to sit at the left end of the table or at the head of the table. This arrangement helps ensure that everyone has adequate elbow room to eat comfortably.

• If food spills off your plate, you may pick it up with a piece of your silverware and place it on the edge of your plate.

• Never spit a piece of bad food or tough gristle into your napkin. Remove the food from your mouth using the same utensil it went in with. Place the piece of food on the edge of your plate. If possible, cover it with some other food from your plate.

So guys, do watch out your manners wherever and whenever you are. Malaysians are just too rude in their manners badly, sorry to say...

Merry Christmas...

I guess it's almost one month since I last blog.

Well, I went back to Malaysia for 18 days in between anyway.

And took the first Air Asia flight out of Laos....hohoho.

Some of you may ask, or may soon ask, but I'll answer it first.

Ya, memang got a little hao lien lo...Wakakaka.

Asia Asia has actually help us to save up the 4 hours transit time in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

It also helps us save the expensive meals our ego wants....hahahaha.

And also...no more far far gates in between in KLIA.

But still, occasionally I will still prefer Thai Airway more to Air Asia.

I'm having a very tiring Christmas today. No holiday here...sienz. Anyway folks, I hereby wish everyone....

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope you guys are enjoying your day to the fullest ^_^
