#373: How To Grow Taller

It's been across the lips of the 'stunted', the Yao Ming wannabes, and to be blunt, Joshua Yee the short people...

"How do I grow taller?"

Yes, this worldwide phenomenon has been boggling the minds of many for the past few decades, with very little or no concrete answers unveiled with sufficient evidence provided.

Sure, parents told you that eating your veggies would make you "tall, strong, and healthy!", but look what happened to my sister.

If they said jumping or jumping rope would work, I would've been Yao Ming by now. (One of KL's state badminton team's best 'skippers'/'jump-ropers', thank you very much.)

But enough of 'has been' discoveries and unconvincing answers. I, Cedric Lavato (long story- will tell you about it next time), head of research at the Ihatoshortopeepo Laboratories at Tokyo, Japan, have traveled to NONE of the corners of the earth, to find the answers to growing tall. This, ladies and gentlemen, is it. This is the truth.

How To Grow Taller
Compiled by Cedric Lavato

1. DON'T eat your veggies.
As unbelievable as it is, it's been proven. Charles Scherbotski*got tired of his parents nagging him about consuming his vegetables for good, wholesome vitamins. So he stopped, and boy, no regrets! The next day his mum had to take him to Abercrombie & Fitch to get new clothes- he had grown 8 inches taller over 7 hours of sleep.


2. DON'T curse.
Foo Sun Yong* was renowned for his foul mouth. However, Foo wasn't a big-time gangster. He was 17, and only stood 4 feet tall. This often, or always, resulted in his vulgar mouth being physically 'punished' by almost anyone bigger than him (which is A LOT, by the way). Then one day, after such a beating from a 12 year old, Foo's lips were so swollen that he could not manage to utter a single word for the next week. As the week went by, Foo discovered that he was growing, and growing fast. By the time the seven days has ended, Foo was 8 feet tall. Now Foo goes hunting for those who've caused him much pain. (including me, so if you're offering security services, hurry! Call me at 1-800-I-ROCK)


3. Treat Cedric to a movie or meal.
No, really! I am THE benefactor of long limbs. Send me an email or a phone call, buy me a movie or a meal, sleep at night, and VIOLA! Somebody's ready to join the NBA. It's really THAT simple.


*Names have been changed to protect the person's true identity.

#372: The Holidays

If you're looking for someone to treat to a movie or meal, to bond over a game of Counter Strike or COD4 with, or to make you a spanking new blog layout (or a designing request of any sort) in exchange for commission, I'm your man.

#371: Now We All Know

#370: I Know You're Reading

• Genting- Plus the roller-coasters. I don't care- you're riding 'em.
• Tour de KL- Regardless of whether I get my new kicks or not.
• Klang Bak Ku Teh!
• Road Trip- Penang or Malacca?
• Serious Sam 2/CS (knife only!)
• I've got (designing) project(s) I wanna work on with you.
• Finishing Josh's guitar.
• Running- but not to 1U- it's wayyy too far, come to think of it.
  

And the list goes on. Hang in there you sexy fool.

#369: Eels

In the luxury of the couch, the television, and Season 1 of Chuck, I came across a rather catchy melody which led to the discovery of Eels.

Eels is an American rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as A Man Called E, Mr. E, or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels' live shows include new material, interpretations of older songs, and usually some well-known cover versions.

(Thank you Wiki)

When I came across the band I thought they were an indie, British rock band (which I love), but they're apparently popular in the UK and Europe, and have appeared in movies like Shrek, Hot Fuzz, and Hellboy II as well as popular TV series like Chuck, Scrubs, and the O. C.

The Beatle's catchy, mellow harmonies linger in the band's sound, which pulls off light 'n' mellow without emo getting into their music. A rare sort, but undoubtedly good. Worthy of a listen from anyone's ears.

Woot.

#366: Superband

We've all got our dreams- to get married, be rich, and to consume a whole piece of roti canai in just one bite.

Okay, fine. Not all of us.

But while this blog's author is in the mood of dreaming, he dreams of world peace. He dreams of an end to racism. But most of all, he dreams of the Superband.

Oh what? You don't know the Superband?

They are THE band. They put the 'super' to Superband. They are the best band to have ever crossed the face of the earth.

They're also a dream.

But oh well, let's not spoil the mood. Go Superband!

Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)
Lead vocals (it was either him or Nick Jonas) and guitar

Paul Meaney (Mute Math)

#365: Root 3

I'm fear that I will always be,
A lonely number like root three.

The three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight,
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine.

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic.

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality.

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three.

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer.

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands.

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed.

#364: Bak Ku Teh

The pride of Klang, the darling of pork lovers, the hope for the famished, the blond, blue-eyed boy of Chinese food, the food of all things good, right, and lovely.

I love Bak Ku Teh.

#363: Week of Truth

It will be a week that sees me bid farewell to schooling affairs before Jas, where demonic Science shall be defeated forever, I get a mohawk (and possibly new kicks!), and awesomeness soars again.

The only question is...

Which week?
