you know what? i love tan ming ming's hugs. it's so full of energy and life. not like some others i know. leanne, she comes to you when you ask for a hug. but that's all. she just stands there and waits patiently for you to finish hugging her. and then there's samantha who tells you outright, "i don't want!" if you ask her why, her all time answer is, "because lah!" this happens quite often. but when i ask tan ming ming for a hug, he comes and clings on and hugs tight tight wan. it's so satisfying. i shall ask him for a hug every week to boost my morale, i tell you.

anyways, i found something about hugs in my mom's parenting book. she helps out in a mothers bible study. dont ask me what i was doing looking through it. it was just there and i happen to be bored and lazy.

hugging is very healthy. it helps the body's immune system. it keeps you healthier. it cures depression and reduces stress. it induces sleep. it is invigorating. it is rejuvenating. it has no unpleasant side effects. hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. hugging is all natural. it is organic and naturally sweet. it contains no pesticides, preservatives or artificial ingredients, and it is 100% wholsome.

hugging is pratically perfect. there are no movable parts, no batteries to wear out, no periodic check-ups, no monthly payments, no insurance requirements. it offres no energy consumption and returns a high-energy yield while being inflation-proof, nonfattening, theft-proof, nontaxable, nonpolluting, and fully returnable.
