Message of the Day

Drive safely - Think of your loved ones

Stirrings..ok, maybe feelings - Captain Jack Sparrow

Past few days were a mix of extremes..extreme weather, extreme chaos, extreme stress..

Decided enough is enough before i had a breakdown..Boycotted some work(money can always earn next time)..Switched off phone(thereby missing a fishball mee date)..and even went for a movie! (on hindsight, i couldn't believe i did that..think my colleagues will kill me if they know)

Managed to lower my blood pressure a little after the few hours off..didn't even dare to drink my teh-siew-dai cos i think it will make me gan cheong spider(of cos, it's probably not the only reason why i was so jittery)..

p.s. thanks to all those who have to put up with my whining and constantly-sending-smses-mode recently..

Thought of the day..

Giant seems gigantic today..

Chirp Chirp

As i'm typing this..i'm having 27,819 thoughts running through my mind..

Over the past few days..a lot of things happened..

Some were joyous occasions(3 weddings between me and someone)..some were 'life's like tat' moments(being offered 'leftover' parking coupons TWICE in the same carpark in the same day)..And more than a couple of times, i went 'oh-wat-a-coincidence!' ..and then, there were even a few 'almost-can't-believe-it' revelations..

Talking about revelations..in my sober-er moment(like now), i think i might have revealed just a little too much info during dinner the other nite (no doubt the 3 glasses of port played a part *.*) Over this very interesting dinner, i've also taken on a new incarnation..birdie(rated 2/4), with full potential being a peacock..

Does this make sense to anyone out there reading?

It's all very confuzzling..isn't it..

Of phones and such..

I've received the strongest 'hint' so far to change phone..to a smart phone to be exact..dear fish has smsed me from 10,000km away, informing me of her new smartphone - thank goodness it wasn't an iphone, and casually mentioning 'it's cheaper to send message to u if u have watsapp'

And of cos, she went on to sell me the benefits of a smartphone(still via old-fashioned sms) In fish-language, it simply means 'why don't u just go get a smartphone with watsapp'

Hmm..an average of 20 - 30 overseas smses per month might just swing my vote a little to the 'dark side'..

Resolution for the year(or wat's left of it anyway) - Refrain from using mobile phone while driving..TRRRRYY..

As with every other Singaporean, i was infected with the GE fever for the past week or so..(i actually left Jolin Tsai's concert early so i wouldnt miss the live results..jolin tsai really deserves a solo entry after wat i've gone thru over the past 2 nites..but neh mind)

There're quite a few entries on GE saved as drafts(I was actually trying to resist publishing new entries for a while...so MM can stay as cover labbit for a little longer), starting from the time i realised that i'm one of the 6% of adult Singaporeans who do not have the chance to put a X for the candidate i want(such is the irony)

Was browsing through some articles..when i came across Marine Parade's response to Ms TPL:

'TPL,of cos, was a factor - So you do know..

We knew she was young but we know that she will grow. I think that's the key. We wanted her. If anything, we knew that she would be young and inexperienced but we are quite happy - Happy with what exactly??

And the main thing is, she got through - Of cos lah, must still give u face right?

And that's the reason why people are unhappy - that such a young and inexperienced person has got through - That's stating the obvious right? Duh!!

In politics, it's transcient. We have 5 years. If after 5 years, TPL remains what she is, then of cos, she would still be a factor at the next election. But at this stage, looking at her action, in 3 years, she would be a different TPL' - So why get her in now? Why not just recruit her 3 years later for the next election?

I always thought a candidate need to prove him/herself first before we vote them in..Since when do we elect MPs, pay them $15k a month, so that we can groom them over the next 3 years???

Anyway, for more Singaporean voices on the GE, i thought my buddy Wei aka SJH aka SHM had a pretty good piece - Courage of Conviction

Why Do Trolleys 'Stick' On Escalators?

According to ZXL-pedia:

To avoid escalator trolley accidents, airports and supermarkets employ any of the following means:

- Trolleys with automatic brakes that stops the cart once the handle is released

- Strong magnets on the escalator floors that hold the trolley in place

- Trolleys that have specially designed wheels that locks in on the grooves of the escalator floor to prevent movement(The wheels on the trolleys ride on the outside edges.When they go onto the escalator the outside edges go into the gaps causing the wheels to sit onto the high part of the track. This prevents the wheel from tuning till it reaches the level ground again)

Hey, i got 2 out of 3..not bad!

Thought of the day..

The best imax experience can be had on a picnic mat..

My biggest regret is..

..I haven't been to US(Universal Studio, not United States hor) yet..

Honestly! Talked about it with 0.5, Ms Chan, twinky before..but ya..never action leh..

To 0.5:

6 years ago..when ZXL left to see the world...a certain 'labbit' accompanied her throughout the journey..inside this labbit carried the thoughts and wishes of many people, including a 0.5..

Today, as 0.5 is leaving to see her world, ZXL will return the favour via the very same labbit..

(The strike-throughs are the irrelevant or not-so-flattering stuff about yours truly, such as how i puked in TTSH..opps! Anyway, half the world have had read it umpteenth times already)
