from happy legs...

on sodium overload today. cooked this thing to go with noodle yesterday for lunch and there is a lot of left over. it tasted nice and i was craving for it by dinner time. lazy to cook noodle again so ate the dish alone. of course it is too salty. feeling bloated for the whole evening until today and legs felt as stiff as steel.well talking about legs.

two days ago my msn nick is 'happy legs', someone said sth today about i put the wrong nick and it's supposed to be *** (can't rem, some martial arts stuff that doesn't quite make sense to me, but probably implying i like kicking people). hmpf... if u dunno what 'happy legs' means, ask lah, don't make random assumption of it when it is totally not what you think it is. back to the point, happy legs is a biotherm product, not any stunts or moves u do to kick ppl k? it's a cooling gel to be applied on tired legs so the legs are happy. not that they will smile and laugh lah but it feels quite relaxing.

this thing just triggered me to think that a lot of times people like to use their wild imagintation or limited knowledge to make assumptions of things they do not know for sure. for example someone assuming someone else knows something when that person actually doesn't, or assuming someone is going somewhere, going to do something when it is not the case. sometimes it's harmless, sometimes can cause misunderstanding and sometimes simply more on the annoying side. guofeng wrote in his blog that 'what we take to be the truth may actually be part facts part imagination or expectation. And it is due to these imagination/expectations of ourselves that we dont really see things the way that they are and affecting our actions that are to follow.' although i think Hitch is just a laugh-and-forget-it movie and doesn't take such deep meanings (credit to his philosophical mind), but i do agree on his point. just how many of us can keep such a thinking in daily life?

i hope i m not offending anyone. this is honestly the third time i m changing this entry. i m thinking, how effective is communication based on pure language? when different people read sth they might take on different tones and have vastly different reaction, it happens often as you don't hear or see the person writing it. worse still, we are normal folks, not professional writers or diplomats. how effective are we expressing ourselves using say written language? how much control do we have over things we say? language can be so feeble sometimes. when something is written or said, it is not given away, on contrast, something is added to the burden of the person. because there is worry about the consequences of the words, worry about saying wrong things, worry about miscommunication... hmm... would a telepathy kinda of connection be better?

comment on the flowers i put in the background leh. pretty right? hee
