These stupid consultants keep giving me insights.
“This and that gives you insight to blah blah blah.”
Insights, insight, insights….
An insight in an unproven, untested theory, a educated guess.
Says who?
Says me.

Moles
Moles, known medically as nevi, are clusters of pigmented cells that often appear as small, dark brown spots on your torso, face, arms and legs.
New moles have been popping up all over my body in the last few years, and they appear in the oddest of places. I have two of them on my scalp. One under my armpit, one above my armpit. I have one right at the tip of my nose and one between my eyebrows (yes, very symmetrical).
I just found one right under my eye. The other day, I even found one on my puss. I didn’t even know there was.
Chinese believe that the moles on different parts of the body signify certain virtues or character. Apparently those on my scalp means I have brain power. I wonder what the one down the puss means (hehe).
I don’t know, but at this point, I am just I am not getting those big one with hair sprouting out.

Tourism vs. Terrorism
We were supposed to do a book review for class last week. Everyone was given a few minutes to talk about their book. When the turn went to Ms Know-It-All, she said she read a book called ‘Tourism’ by ‘Daliwal’, or something along those lines.
“A book on tourism?” I thought, sounded like a non-fic book. I looked round and swear everyone else in class has the same wonderment look on their face. Lucy actually asked for the name of the book again, and she repeated the exact same words. Well, I guess she knows something we don’t.
She went on to describe it. I could hardly make out what she was trying to say, but heard words like violence, homosexualism, etc.
I get it. “You mean your book is called ter-ror-ri-sm?”
“Yes, tourism” I swear, she pronounced it as tourism. I bit my lips and hardened my face, but my liver and kidneys were giggling.
That was a new feat. A total oxymoron. One implies welcoming the westerners, and the other is to frighten them away.
This is a typical Chinese problem, when the tongue is stuck to the base of the mouth. I sure hope those China leaders don’t mince up those words on the world platform.
