Was watching a vcd my colleague lent to me ages ago. Had wanted to quickly finish it and return it. But my lil cousin sms-ed me to ask me to go online to chat awhile, and while online, found that Yvonne and little couzin was online too. Oh well, i'll finish watching it tonight.



I thought it was gonna be another of those sappy, soppy, makes you cry for bothering to watch kind of show, but a couple minutes into the movie, i went like, "Hey, this is interesting.". The show was entirely in korean and i didn't understand a single word of it, but doesn't really matter since the actress is kind of pretty.



Anyway, the show was about a girl and a boy from two different time dimensions. Actually its the same dimension, time, just different values of t. so here is a summary,

t1 = 1997 december time which boy live in

t2 = 1999 december time which girl live in



Somehow, there is this mailbox of one house which lets them transfer letters from t1 to t2 and t2 to t1. So t2 girl communicates with t1 boy through the mailbox. But then in t1, the girl also exists, which is the past of t2 girl. I'm still in the middle of the second disc, but i'm suspecting that t1 girl falls in love with t1 boy and then breaks up.



Anyway, on my way to work today, i was kind of later (later not late, still early). Waking up in the morning when i've slept at 0130 wasn't easy. Missed my usual time's bus 105 and coupled with the rain, i ended up taking a different 91A bus. The population was different, and babe watch activity was higher. Maybe i shouldn't go to work so early : p



Oh well, boss on leave, rainy season -> flu season, hafta take child to see doctor. Speaking of illness, do you know what medicine to take when you have a fever? Know when you should take panadol? Here's a list:



Take panadol when

- you have fever

- you have cough

- you have leg cramps

- you can't sleep

- you have indigestion

- you feel ill but don't know what medicine to take

- you're in doubt.



No, i'm not advertising for panadol. I'm talking about the placebo effect. It doesn't matter what you're popping, it could be vitamin c or even sugar pills, it can still work like some miracle cure. Of course, you have to think that you've popped some medicine though.



What is placebo effect? Placebo effect occurs when you think you've been given medicine when all you've been given is a placebo pill, usually sugar pills. And you expect to see a change to healthier, and the expectation of change effects the change itself and you become healthier. Or something like dat : p
