The 'secret' to cooking rice over the fire is to use a slow fire and not to stir at all. The moment you stir while cooking, the bottom will turn brown very quickly. To prevent overflowing of the water while the rice is bubbling, leave the lid open for a tiny bit.

If you animal gets yao by another player, you lose your tai. If you think about it, this increases the 'complexity' of the game. Suppose you draw the centipede. If you want to reduce the chance of people yaoing your centipede, you would not want to show your centipede early. But that will mean you have one less card to change. If you draw the rooster, you can show your rooster, but lose the chance to yao the centipede (if it is not out), or you can keep the rooster and hope that someone will show the centipede. However, you also loses one less card to play.

That's called having the cake and eating it.

In certain countries, this may be tantamount to sexual harassment. Tell him that in no uncertain terms!

You renovate your place based on your own preferences and taste. Unless the buyer shares similar preferences and taste as you, the buyer is likely to want to do up the way he/she wants. As such, the buyer may even want to hack/get rid of your renovation.

I believe IBM have sold off their PC division to Lenovo. Lenovo is now manufacturing the PCs that are IBM branded.

Don't think this is true. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Basically, an OEM version and a normal retail version is that the OEM version does not have the fancy packaging, manuals etc. You should still have the installation CDs. If your hard disk crash, you can always install again.

Milk is good for you in that it is rich in protein, and it has calcium for your bones. Women are more affected by calcium in their diet as a result of the female hormones, so in order to prevent bone loss and oesteoporosis, women need to have a healthy supply of calcium. Studies have shown that women should have good calcium in their diet especially when they are young so that they will not suffer from bone loss problem when they get older. I've not heard about low-fat milk affecting being pregnant (I'll check with my sister when I next see her). If you are pregnant and/or you are breast-feeding, you must have the necessary nutrituion, else the baby may be affected. Drinking milk does not produce milk.... rather it ensures you have the necessary nutrients to pass on to your baby via the milk. Traditional methods of increasing milk production includes drinking green papaya with fish (make fish soup). Alternatively, fenugreek has been recommended by some lactation consultant if you find your breast milk dwindling. If you don't like vanilla milk, go for the flavoured ones (chocolate, strawberry etc.). My wife drank and is still drinking Enfamama when pregnant and during breastfeeding (she still is.... after 8 months).

I think there are regulations disallowing fixed structures from being too near the boundary wall. Exactly how far, I am not too sure. I thought I remember my architect friend mentioned something like 2.5m, but I think that is for the side of the house. Sometimes, homeowners do some alterations that are not strictly allowed, but if they do not receive any complaints and is not investigated, they would think that it is okay. For example, my neighbour build a small door and uses the porch over the car park as a balcony. I asked my friend if I could do the same, and he said no.
