你怕狗吗？狗，有什么好怕？
I know a couple of people who are extremely afraid of dogs. But the strange thing is, the older ones are those who proclaim their dislike for dogs while trying to convince themselves that they are actually NOT SCARED, when they are.
Then i would think that the younger you get exposed to these companions, the less afraid you are likely to be. You are also more willing to admit that you are scared of them, if things go the other way round. Well, doesnt it makes life much simpler and peaceful this way?
I saw a doe eyed king charles spaniel with tongue sticking out today. Innocent and friendly. Hohoho... It certainly made my day.
Yupz! I am back!
Photos will be up later. Thought some places were rather scenic.
There's something more important to note. I will always remember my parents, sister, cousins, aunts, uncles, close to my heart for as long as i don't become senile =)
With Lotsa love, and craps.
Me. =)
33 hours from now, i would be onboard headed towards Sydney. Hohoho....Will be back on 17th June at 9 plus. Sister, pls be informed ok :D
Meanwhile, I am still patapon-ing.
I shouldn't be revisiting this, but I feel very DL (dulan) when i think of this again. NUS career advisory for chem engineers are way too complacent. When wat i thought (and many others) was early when my friend signed his contract, NTU chem engineers have already taken up majority of the slots. Which brings me to the question: Did our career not take good care of us? Darn! On one hand, i should have been more worldly -wise and not bank on a good career centre. On the other, i really feel disgusted for their complacency/ lousy foresight. This sucks.

But that is not what i plan to talk about today.

I have just finished reading about the 81st Spelling Bee competition held in the US. In lieu of the rubbish entertainment shows we have on local television nowadays (and that includes local dramas attempting to be sappy), i suggest more worthwhile programmes such as that.
Introducing...
Singpore's very own Spelling Bee...Muwahahahaha
I picture poor kids (forehead tied with a red headband proclaiming: VICTORY!!), and parents with a cane standing next to them. Certainly, preparation is required. But the problem with Singaporeans is that we tend to overdo things.
Sometimes, more can be less, if you get what i mean. One can never prepare enough for anything. We can gain knowledge from reading widely, but by freewill and not applying "the force". The ability to spell strange sounding words depends on the flair more than technical ability.
Force mugging makes thinking regimental.
It's no wonder some people say, the older you are, the steeper your learning curve.
Just that the "old" is getting younger.
You know, there are many times when a woman can suddenly flare without warning. ESPECIALLY THOSE APPROACHING 50 AND BEYOND. This irrationalistic model is indeed scary.

Ok, back to the topic. We celebrated her birthday with
5 hours of Monopoly. =)
You cannot belittle children's luck.
So, with a 20, 23, up against 13 and 5+ yr olds, the former 2 went bankrupt, with the ultimate winner the birthday girl (60+ k) and the youngest player (40+ k and a whole lot of properties).
AND, you would be amazed at how the ultimte winner went to jail 12 times :D She was on a "blazing" trail~ Whoot! about 4 times to jail was drawn, and the rest decided by the dice. She even helped one of us get inside twice :D yay! Even Mr Monopoly salutes!!!
