SpiritMakers
Our group had a meeting with Shawn, founder of SpiritMakers today. He’s a young, nice guy who started the company when he was 21. Now he’s 26, hm, I don’t wanna think of how old I am.
He does soft-skill training for primary and secondary schools in Singapore. Now managing his business though his website, mobile phone and … googledoc, he’s making money for bigger plans. I admire him a lot.
Thanks to him I get to know this website GeBIZ, Singapore government’s one-stop e-procurement portal. Shawn looks for his projects here. Do we have such a site? I’ll update this when I find out.
I also learnt today that students can go into Burger King, occupy a nice table, sit there for hours without ordering anything. Or only we do that?
Funny bone
I heard about this on radio on the way home. Here’s a quick look.
Have you ev
er hit the inside of your elbow in just the right spot and felt a tingling or prickly kind of dull pain? That’s your funny bone! It doesn’t really hurt as much as it feels weird. The “funny bone” got its nickname because of that funny feeling you get after you hit it.
But your funny bone isn’t actually a bone at all. Running down the inside part of your elbow is a nerve called the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve lets your brain know about feelings in your fourth and fifth fingers. It’s also one of the nerves that controls some movement of your hand.
You get that funny feeling when the ulnar nerve is bumped against the humerus (say: hyoo-muh-rus), the long bone that starts at your elbow and goes up to your shoulder. Tapping your funny bone doesn’t do any damage to your elbow, arm, or ulnar nerve. But it sure feels strange!
People sometimes mention the funny bone when they talk about their sense of humor. Maybe you’ve heard someone say “that really tickled my funny bone.” We’ll leave you with a joke and hope that it tickles yours:
What’s a bone in your body that you can never break? Your funny bone!
* ulnar (adj) = thuộc xương trụ
