I wan a Mistletoe!!!!

Mistletoe is also said to be a sexual symbol, because of the consistency and color of the berry juice as well as the belief that it is an aphrodisiac, the “soul” of the oak from which it grows. The origin of the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe is vague. However, the tradition may have stemmed from either the Viking association of the plant with Frigga (the goddess of love) or from the ancient belief that mistletoe was related to fertility. Another explanation for the tradition is that it is derived from the festival of Saturnalia, a popular mid-December celebration in ancient Rome

The correct mistletoe etiquette is for the man to remove one berry when he kisses a woman. When all the berries are gone, there's no more kissing permitted underneath that plant.
One legend states that a couple who kisses underneath mistletoe will have good luck, but a couple neglecting to perform the ritual will have bad luck. Specifically, it is believed that a couple kissing under the mistletoe ensure themselves of marriage and a long, happy life, while an unmarried woman not kissed under the mistletoe will remain single for another year.

Maidens may place a sprig of the plant under their pillow at night in the same manner a child places his or her lost tooth in anticipation of a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Instead of exchanging teeth for money, however, the sprig of Mistletoe allows women to dream of their Prince Charming. Burning a mistletoe plant is also thought to foretell a woman’s marital bliss, or lack thereof. A mistletoe that burns steadily prophesies a healthy marriage, while fickle flames may doom a woman to an ill-suited partner.

While mistletoe is widely viewed as a symbol of love and fertility, it's also representative of peace. Ancient tales tell of enemies who encounter each other underneath trees bearing mistletoe. The enemies lay down their arms, embrace, and agree to a truce until the next day [source: Perry]. This act of goodwill is yet another possibility for why we kiss under mistletoe: abstaining from violence and exchanging greetings under the plant may have prompted the custom of kissing.

first event coming up

alright...finally the first event is coming up..my first DnD with AIA. had wanted to dress up as Princess Lia but dreams were dashed when they announced the theme for callcentre. SHREK!! my gosh..the only character is snow white as her gown as compared to Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty is more prominent. Went to the No.1 Costume Shop at Arab street and found the gown buttttttt....it's so ugly!~!! take a look nw...

and to add, the costume doesn't look really clean. Though the staff there mentioned it'll be cleaned before collection, i still had doubts abt it. it cost more than 60bucks for rental and we had decided to drop the idea to dress up. Moreover, the folks sitting with me do not wish to dress up as they think they're way too old for that. ok, fun is gone but i hope on the night itself, things will be different. I'm just going to dress OUT and UP wearing my new boots! hehe..

ok...been attending Jap Classes but sadly it's difficult to master as the teacher aint really good at teaching. Here are some of the sentences i can remember.

- Watashiwa Joyce desu -> I am Joyce.

- Singapore kara ki mashita -> I come from Singapore

- Watashiwa Kaishain -> I am an employee of a company

- Watashiwa ni jun yon sai -> I am 24 years old.
-Toire wa doko desu ka? -> Where is the toilet?

ok i know it's pathetic but practice is very impt in order to master it.

went to ktv after class with sis and her friend veron. and went to walk ard in orchard after that. The traffic was so bad and it was packed almost everywhere. and yes, sis's car is finally here. sitting in the rear seat was great esp when u can stare out of the moonroof and look at the decorations in orchard. NICE. it's sporty smooth and the engine is quite silent.wait until i get a chance to drive it and i shall comment more on its performance. here are more pics to share.
