Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is a surgical procedure where certain portions of the sympathetic nerve trunk are destroyed. ETS is used to treat hyperhidrosis, facial blushing, Raynaud's disease and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. By far the most common complaint treated with ETS is palmar hyperhidrosis, or "SWEATY PALMS". In this disorder, the palms may constantly shed so much sweat that the affected person is unable to handle paper, sign documents, keep clothes dry, or shake hands. The result is often social phobia so severe as to be disabling.
I say:
Sweaty palms occur due to nervousness (is there such a word?), usually on stage, before a big public audience, first dates, exams, and other big important stuff. It usually happens all the time but I thought that it would vanish after a while of getting used to whatever nervous thing it is.
However.. Turned out I was wrong. Sweaty palms is indeed some kind of disease. It NEVER goes away. Haiz.. Cham ah, like that can't even go on dates properly, not to mention hold hands. =\ Social phobia? Nolah.. Don't think it's THAT bad. Haha. Point is: Sorry dear, for the sweaty palms today!

The incandescent light bulb or incandescent lamp is a source of artificial light that works by incandescence, (a general term for heat-driven light emissions which includes the simple case of black body radiation). An electrical current passes through a thin filament, heating it until it produces light. The enclosing glass bulb prevents the oxygen in air from reaching the hot filament, which otherwise would be destroyed rapidly by oxidation.
Incandescent bulbs are sometimes called electric lamps, a term originally applied to the original arc lamps. They are also known as globes or light globes with the theater, television and film industries, and both these terms which are commonly used in Australia.
Incandescent bulbs are made in a wide range of sizes and voltages, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment and have a low manufacturing cost, and work well on either alternating current or direct current. As a result the incandescent lamp is widely used in household and commercial lighting, for portable lighting, such as table lamps, some car headlamps and electric flashlights, and for decorative and advertising lighting.
Yadiyadiyada.. Don't think anyone's interested to read more of this crap right?
I say:
Lightbulbs are more than just your average the glass encasing the filament and argon gas and stuff that lights up a dark place. Lightbulbs.. are the unsunged heroes, the silent saviours, the unaccompanied company, the shadow behind, the face in the crowd, the lonely single people.
Yes, lightbulbs are none other than the single people who accompany couples (usually friends with either one of them or both) on their dates. Usually as a decoy that it isn't a date, or just for the transportation or merely out of pity for their sakes of not being pangseh-ed. So they tag along the happy couple, trying their best not interrupt them with their presence but at the same time putting on a fake face of enjoying the "date" itself. Lol, I'm making it sound so darn bad. Haha.
Anyways, I just wanted to shout a big THANK YOU to XXX for her undying and supportive cooperation as today's lightbulb. Although she wasn't one to start with, but she ended up as one in the end and hadta endure around 1 1/2 hours of err.. pain? Lol. Yeah, so that's about it.

For those who can't catch the big picture, here's a short summary:
First time double-dating with another couple consisting of XXX & YYY. Movie or no movie? That is the question. Ended up with ore cheesecake and drinks @ coffeebean, pointless empty-handed shopping or more like 2 girls that kept on trying on clothes, dinner @ kopitiam. THE END.
Yeah, that was.. practically my day. Howus yours? =D
