Crazy World.
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/04/29/austria.cellar/index.html
This is not only Incest to the maximum. And talk about Claustrophobic. The victim daughter was locked up in the dungeon for 24 years, not 24 days mind you.
And 7 children as a result of rape by her very own father, with 1 dead and burnt in an Oven in the house ?
This world is a crazy place.
The oven that my mum uses every morning to toast my bread can destroy babies.
I never see the oven in my house the same way again.

By the way. The weather is freeaking warm. Like mother father HOT. It is as if the tropical weather in Singapore is not enough. Summer is attacking us as well.
The Globe is warming real bad ! Hope LA will not be as bad when we go over. RAH.
The Cat Knows It All.
Uh Huh. -Nods"They say curiousity killed the cat. But who said there was a cat? Did you
see that the cat was killed? If you dont find the cat, the cat wont find
you. Then you wouldn't know that, curiousity killed the cat" - J.Tang

From Dilbert's
Sleep: 8 hours
Exercise: 1 hour
Work: 8 hours
Eating: 2 hours (leisurely)
Hygiene: 1 hour
Travel: 1 (Commute, errands)
That leaves you three hours for family time, sex, shopping, food preparation, chores, household repair, volunteering in the school, and so on.
If you have a dentist appointment, or your talkative relative calls, or American Idol has a two-hour special, you’re tapped out.
It’s a challenge to live a happy life if you aren’t giving enough attention to all of those categories, yet doing so is nearly impossible.
One time management strategy is to be independently wealthy, freeing up eight hours a day. But that option isn’t available to many. And apparently it isn’t fulfilling because most rich people continue to work full schedules.
Another strategy is to ignore the fact that you are slowly killing yourself by not sleeping and exercising enough. That frees up several hours a day. The only downside is that you get fat and die.
A third path is to work less than you could, live economically, enjoy each day as it comes, and try not to think about living on cat food when you retire.
Which strategy have you picked?

Above is a excerpt from Dilbert's blog. (as in not my friend Dilbert but the comic Dilbert) Lovee to go there once in awhile for some grossly hilarious articles.
Cheers to Jas for this. Brightened a dull day at the office desk ! :)

Floating By.
Took my chance to sleep the entire day away today. Spent some time with the mother and went jogging at the park. This is how i like my Sunday.
Went for the interview at NTU yesterday. On my way while entering into Pulau Ntu, my nervous stomachache condition strucked again. Horrible. The trees and forest looking campus did not help.
But oh well, this was one interview i needed to nail it. The written test was really a test on our general knowledge and even my daily reading of channelnewsasia.com in the office were not enough. There was even a critcal analysis part where we got to critque on the given passage. Holy mother of cow. I thought i was back in the badminton hall again writting my Gp AQ..
Well, from what we heard from the prof, it is less than half the chance to be selected. Hurr hurr. I'm just praying for the best now.
And last wednesday, Alfred and Andrew brought us the Nibble Your Feet spa after work. Omg. It was so SO freeaking ticklish ! I was laughing my ass off the entire and got to distract myself by taking photographs.
Certainly not for the faint-hearted.
Seeing those fishes just reminded me of the time when Estee and I abused those Guppies in her house pond by playing Teh Tarik, using the Fishies.

Wheels and planes.
Xtreme-ness. And now i have a very Very sore Ass and i'm getting ready for an impending Major muscle ache tomorrow. Hurr Hurr.
Just cycled for 6 hours and that made up of about 20km in total. That's like almost the same as travelling from the North to South of Singapore (23km) ! Neat.
Jas and i finally decided to carry out our cycling expedition which was planned like 10 years ago. Cycled to Jalan Kayu for Prata and then to the secret garden of Singapore - Seletar Airbase. Totally miss that place ! Cycled there with Abbs before and really miss those days at her Hay Market home which was at the Seletar Camp.
Cycling into the airbase was like entering another dimension, really. The road was lonely and really misty. The wind in my hair and the cool air entering my lungs.. It was just so Surreal.
SSsssssss. You get the picture.
Too bad i forgot to bring my camera.

It was Qing Ming Jie today as well. Woke up early to go to the temple and fight the incredibly hot HOT sun to pay respect to my great grand parents.
What a fulfilling Saturday ! Think i should ditch those Sleep Till 4pm saturdays from now all. Time to focus on reshaping my life and improve my well being - That is, to get Fit and so i won't be Fat and Miserable.
Cheers to Now, for now :)

My Vicious Cycle.
Must say last week's song choice of Billie Jean by David Cook just nailed it for me. It was perhaps the most touching rendition i have ever heard. Even better than Chris Cornell's !
So it was a stay in Wednesday night for me. Been a while since i last had dinner at home. Did what a normal Singaporean would do - Watch Teevee.
Caught the episode of En Bloc on Channel 5. (I do watch TV, okay) and i also must say one and a half thumbs up for a local Engrish production. No, not because it has Andrea Forsenka in it. (She's pretty good for a Deal or No Deal girl though)
Finally got my lazy arse up at get to my bike and went out for a lil' night cycling ! Been wanting to do it but never had the chance, or rather Motivation, to go out for a ride. The wind in my hair when cycling at top speed down the deserted stretch, just makes me feel as if i'm in the Nine Million Bicycles in Beijing song MTV.
Think cycling in the Night is much better than in the day, when you gotta brave the sun and more Sun. But i realised a few things though. One is that i was almost as blind as the three blind mice when i'm out there in the night Without my spectacles. My astigmation is so so bad. I wouldnt have know if i have rode over somebody's hand or something. But then again, cycling with my specs, is Not Cool at all.. It's like wearing a safety helmet while driving or something. Not Cool.
Next is that i realised there are actually so many cyclists out there ! Thought i would be the only idiot riding at night to no where. Interesting. Perhaps i should start cycling to office from my house too. I will be like the coolest Office Girl la.
One thing though. Though my bike is a normal blue colour Mountain Bike, my over zealous Father kinda over did with the 'gadgets' for the bicycle. Mirrors, torch light (or is it call Safety light) and a I Love My Bike bell.. Totally Pimp My Ride.
Alrighty. Time for more exciting night cycling trips !

Evening with the Friends.
Had a little surprise gathering at Haji Lane's Mosie for our Ms. Chong Huiying's (or my dear Barney. Haha) belated 19th. Been a really long while since i saw everyone and it was really great seeing them again. Previously promised Huiying and Bella (which was months ago) i would plan a gathering with everyone but looks like would have to wait for 10years or so for me to actually get down to doing it. Haha. So thanks to Jas who organized this !
Moroccan Food @ Mosie's
Now, with the Bday Girl.
Smiles.
Miss hanging out with all these people that were part of my life. Time to dig out the phone book and call those old friends out.
