Sunday. I recall I used to eat out on this weekend, with friends, with my loved one but ever since I gave up my "attached citizenship", I found myself to be home for dinner more than ever. Which is good. It's long since I've cooked. Today... i know you readers out there must be thinking I am going to mention about me resuming my menace in the kitchen, but I'm afraid I'd have to disappoint you. Although "Chef" Jason didn't cook, he helped in the preparation by grinding the "soh da biah" (butter biscuits). Hehe. My aunt is the one who cooked, my favourite "bah pah" (chicken cutlet). Rightfully, the ingredient should be pork, but I revamped and requested for chicken to be used instead.
With addition fries to accompany, no doubt it's a very sinful feast, dinner was equally yummy!

You must be wondering why all of the sudden I'd blog about inventions.. well, I was grinding the crackers into powdery form when I looked at this stone-pounder in my hands and wonder, wuao..if i didn't have this which enables me to pound and roll the crackers, I'd not have the luxury of preparing the ingredients for my mouth-watering diner, ceteris paribus (please, disregarding "electric blender"). haha.
All the "eaters" who enjoyed home-cooked dinner would be grateful to the invention of cookstove! Ok, a little history ok? The first gas stove appeared on the surface of the earth in 1820s, at a world fair in London. Since then, people have been blessed with the privilege of being able to cook, with ready-delivered fire from this amazing gadget.
Different trades owes gratitude to different inventions. The accountants must have been thankful to calculators and MYOB(!); lawyers - judiciary system; scientists - technology; doctors - Statiscope(?); Ministers - money; filmmakers - Cameras; seamstress - needles and threads, "Singer-brand" sewing machines; Bimbos - SK-II and Botox; Himbos - Steriods and sun-tanning beds(?). And the list goes on and on...

Personally, I think there are a few.. Not ranking but I feel, like many others would agree, lightbulb is one of the greatest invention, which we owe thanks to Thomas Edison (on the right). Eh, Edison ok.. so don't be mean to people associated with this name (darn.. stop spreading past rumous about his scandals and delete those "nasty" collections of yours). Erh.. ok..no paints splashing. Without light, I think the current Energy saving committee wouldn't have promotion-advertisements to make. Balestier wouldn't be flourishing with business. Lol.
Next would be mobile phones. You never knew, the first commercial on mobile phones was launched by the Japanese way back in the late 1970's. Wow.. In 1990's, I used to remember I was so amazed by Nokia's slogan "Connecting people" or something like that? My first handphone was way back in Secondary 1. I think it was a blue Nokia 8210. Sadly, it was stolen during recess when I left it in my schoolbag. All the strict school rules' fault! Students were not allowed to brign handphones. I remember when I was in secondary 3, I had to hide my handphone in my socks (since it was tall enough up half way my calves), concealed by my long pants.
Not implicating the elder generations and walkie-talkies, I guess most of us would feel incomplete without having the ease of speediest communication through our handphones. Even if we never used our mobilephone, not having one with us just makes us feel deprived one way or another.
Next would be drawing materials. I swear, without it, I'm better off dead because art's a loved interest of mine since I was a child. Haha. I'm just amazed with colours..seriously.. if u ever asked why or what I saw to have spur my interest in art, I really have no idea. It just..happened.. like our sexuality.. If only I had half of that ability in my studies.. perfect I tell you..
Anyway, think I've typed a fair bit.. so there.. some of the greatest inventions.. Applauding thanks to special pictures apperances from goggle.com (eh, Google, have some associating music? something like that of Yahoo~oo, can anot?) Hehe.. ;P
