Synaesthesia is the condition whereby the stimulation of one sense leads to the involuntary stimulation of another.

Eg. Color Synaesthesia - where letters or sounds are experienced as colors

Lexical Gustatory Synaesthesia is the syndrome where one's experiences is experienced as types of taste... so that the Singapore River might feel like nasty rotten eggs & Merlion might feel like a candy cane.

Over dinner, we came up with this term to refer to women who are blessed with moles located at a strategically sexy location... hmmm...

"BXXXX MOLE WOMEN" So are you a BMW or a non-BMW? hehe... (joke courtesy of Ader/Janice/Xiaoping@Pregos21June08_2230hr)

Did u know that just as we use the suffix 'san' in Japan to mean MR or MS: Adeline san / Sato san etc

In thailand we use the prefix 'Khun' too refer to MR or MS: Khun Chutimant / Khun Thanawat also possible to write as K.Chutimant / K.Thanawat

Whilst my Singaporean allies happily refer to this common IT equipment as 'MO-DAM', many outside of the Singlish circle have been perplexed at our pronounciation. the word should be read accurately as 'Modem' sounding more like 'modern' than 'modamn' ... haha~

In my "Personal Presence" course yesterday, Coach Joel reminded me of an almost forgotten biological entity: The "Mirror Neurons". Humans have these and they are the reason why we mimic and try to act like after what we see. That explains why even our accents tend to change when we've been a country where chinese is spoken a certain way, or how our tendencies to use certain prefixes or suffixes show how we've been hanging around people who speak a certain way too often...   

By Wikipedia: A mirror neuron is a neuron which fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another animal. Thus, the neuron "mirrors" the behavior of another animal, as though the observer were itself acting. In humans, brain activity consistent with mirror neurons has been found in the premotor cortex and the inferior parietal cortex.
