Anti obesity programme - enhanced model

I was reading in The Star that Singapore has stopped an anti-obesity programme, as the kids were getting teased. Then I got to wondering whether the Malaysian government would like to improve their anti-obesity programmes by doing the following:

1. Set up massive centers of Wii consoles in each major city
2. Allow only people with obesity problems to use these machines, and make sure that they play more physically active games
   
3. As an incentive, allow the participants to take a Wii home if they are able to hit their correct BMI, so that they can maintain their weight
   

All that money we saved with last year's petrol price hike can now be used for the benefit of the people, rather than non-existent road maintanence or kickbacks for useless street "enhancement" projects.

I'd also like to see an end to all these trendy "Fitness centers" - replace them with Wii centers and charge per hour. I think this would get more people exercising.

A prayer before meals

"Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat!"

Beats the heck out of "Dear Lord,...."

Putting on weight

I just realized something, after the recent binging over Chinese New Year, I cannot get my wedding ring off without a decent struggle. It used to slide off pretty easily over the knuckle, now it gets jammed and I have to spend half a minute yanking on it, swearing.

The funny thing is that I weighed myself before and after the break, and my weight stayed consistent at 70kg, plus/minus 1kg. Wonder what caused the flab on my fingers, the santan or the extra servings of rice.

Sigh.

I want one of these...

Is it me or does the radio stations synchronize their ad times?

Was listening to Red, Hitz, Fly, Mix and LiteRadio over the weekend, and found in many cases that their advertisement times are pretty much synchronized. Is there some "super" programme manager that synchronizes all the radio stations (at least the English Radio Stations) to get them to go "ad-air" all at the same time? It's damn hard to find a radio station playing music when the others are running ads. To me that's pathetic, having to listen to the same stale ads over and over again while driving and gnashing my teeth...
