Stats!

Wow! I just realise there is this new tab in blogger that allows you to view stats!

Pageviews today 4
Pageviews yesterday 6
Pageviews last month 269
Pageviews all time history 665

Wait... 665 in all time history?
But the hit counter is in the 18800s...
And it is well over the 1500s mark in sitemeter!

My source of readership?
Mostly in Singapore and USA.
But there are readers from the Canada, China and even... Russia and Germany.

I've also able to see what leads them here...
One interesting link that lead to my blog is the search term "Mr Tan Jui Kiang" in Google. FYI, he is one of my lecturers back in Ngee Ann Poly. Curious, so I did a search using Google, and shockingly indeed, my blog comes out as the first link. Now I'm wondering who is that person who searched for him. Could it be him himself? Goodness!

Check yours, you might see some surprising results.

There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England nor french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this answer, I end it?
