开心果
Okay bitching time again. I don't really have much to bitch about, really. Which is why I haven't blogged for a while because there haven't been any major happenings for me to bitch such that I needed to blog in a hurry. But well, there is ONE thing. We were told at first that we were not going to be involved in this coming Saturday's NDP rehearsal. But lo and behold, Our Army: The Decisive Force. Enough said.
Just a minor thing I'm supposed to have blogged about like... a month ago, but have procrastinated until now. So anyway, there was this instance about a month back where the 4D draw turned out to have the same winning numbers for both the 1st and 2nd prize. And some spokesperson said that it was a ONE IN A MILLION chance. Wow! What a coincidence for the top 2 prizes to have the same winning numbers! But the thing is.. for ANY combination of the first 2 winning numbers, the probability is the SAME. Yes, there's a one in a million chance no matter what the 2 numbers are. So I honestly don't see what's the big commotion about.
Oh and another small complaint. I haven't been able to view my tagboard for about 2 weeks now. I get the "403 Forbidden The following error occurred: Access denied by access control list. Could not open error file" error page instead of my tagboard. Sounds as if I've been blocked from viewing it. Maybe the previous user of my IP address did something at the site. I can't even visit the main website to figure out what's wrong. But the best part is, I can see everyone else's tagboards from Cbox. Maybe I should stop procrastinating my reseting of my IP address.
So anyway, on to today's topic. A few days ago, someone beside me on the MRT happened to be reading Chinese newspapers. So I took a peek, and there was this article about 开心果指数, which is about how good people of different zodiac signs are at making people happy. Which started me thinking about a few thoughts. Why are 开心果 (Pistachios. The literal translation from the Chinese name would be happy fruit.) named the way they are? Do they make people who eat them happy? Sure, they are tasty and very addictive, but so are many other foods.
Well anyway, the thing about the article is, it claimed that Sagittariuses have a index of 100%. The next closest, which I have forgotten the zodiac sign, is 95%. The others range from like.... 10% to 80%? Or something like that. So I suppose I'm supposed to be able to make people happy easily. At first glance, I thought the article was saying how happy the people belonging to different zodiac signs are. And my immediate thought was that, "Hey, that's not true!" But then I took a closer look (Not literally. I somewhat paid more attention to the title and realized what it was saying.) and I realized otherwise. Hmm.. Guess I need to get to know more Sagittarius people. Make myself happier! Lol..
