why wy?

Thanks for the soya bean suggestions guys, but unfortunately I haven't figured out where to get pandan leaf from yet. Maybe I'll give orange peel a go.

I caught a bit of jerry springer on the tube today. It was titled the special sex circus episode, as if the show was everything but. They had a hypnotist prep certain members of the audience and make them do stupid sexual things, like get an orgasm when they hear the word 'jerry''. The crowd goes wild, chanting "jerry, jerry, jerry'' like they normally do, and there are some very happy people on stage.

Sad to say, I was amused and horrified at the same time. Even jerry springer himself looked worried at times. I'm surprised it hasn't spawned a reality show called Extreme Hypnotist, ala Extreme Makeover. Another chance for you to appear dumb in front of the world!

Terry was expounding on the geek/nerd divide, an important one because only geeks have supermodel girlfriends. Am wondering whether it applies to females. Are female geeks doomed to be attractive only to fellow geeks and nerds?

More pressing question: Am I a geek or a nerd? Just spent the drive home explaining the entire harry potter storyline to nick and joe in singlish, referencing star wars, lord of the rings, kungfu movies and national service for good measure. Does being able to debate the finer points of the above mean I have crossed the threshold of nerdvana?

An example:
Nick: So will malfoy join the dark side?
Me: No, he's still in school but his dad has got a tattoo which means he's a true follower. The tattoo will hurt when the emperor/voldemort calls them.
N: How come draco doesn't have a tattoo? Do all slytherin people get tattoos?
me: No lah. It's like NS and signing on. If you are in the house of slytherin it's just NS. But if you become a true follower it's like signing on. Condemned for life ha ha.

Will add more snippets when I remember them.
