Still a 5 day week.

Haiz. After 1 Monday Public Holiday, I am still going back on Saturday. But, i will try to limit my time there. Haiz.

I bought 4 fighting fish. Had wanted to showcase all 4. But mum abducted my camera.

Have not though of a name for them, but soon, i will. I intend to call one Miss Singapore Universe, and another Roonie. My fighting fish refuses to breed....though they display symptoms that they are ready. 有性格,我喜欢。

And i am liking Pasir Ris Farmway more and more. Heh..of dogs and fish.

10 ways to know if you've been in the corporate world too long:

1. You ask the waiter what the restaurant's core competencies are.
2. You decide to re-organise your family into a "team-based organization."
3. You refer to dating as test marketing.
4. You can spell "paradigm."
5. You actually know what a paradigm is.
6. Your Valentine's Day cards have bullet points.
7. You give constructive feedback to your dog.
8. You believe you never have any problems in your life, just "issues" and "improvement opportunities."
9. You can explain to somebody the difference between "re-engineering", "down-sizing", "right-sizing", and "firing people's behinds."
10. You actually believe your explanation in number 9.



Whose bump is it anyway?

A carpet layer had just finished installing carpet for a lady. He stepped out for a smoke, only to realize he'd lost his cigarettes. In the middle of the room, under the carpet, was a bump. "No sense pulling up the entire floor for one pack of smokes," he said to himself. He proceeded to get out his hammer and flattened the bump. As he was cleaning up, the lady came in. "Here," she said, handling him his pack of cigarettes. "I found them in the hallway." "Now," she said, "if only I could find my handphone."

Salted Fish.

Before i begin, i learnt from my teacher that there is no such word as "saltish". Only salty. 

Anyway, I was walking back with my takeaway dinner from my very OLD hawker centre with my $3.80 porkball soup yesterday night. Ouch. Super Ouch. I lamented to myself on how those hawkers must have earned thrice, quadrauple the value, and it was such an OLD hawker centre. Argh...i could buy 1.5 bowls of yong tau fu. Brr...and i have been trying to keep my food costs down in this gloomy economic climate. And i amused myself over how long i took to get over it. Haha. 

Tonight, as i was queuing up for my cheap Yong Tau Fu, i saw an auntie trying a stunt. She took her food without paying. When asked to pay, she nonchalently shook her hand as if saying "later". So cool.  And i was thinking, "what if she does not pay after eating?" I think there's nothing that can be done about it. But then again, if that was a true intention, she must be terribly garang, for she just sat next to the Yong Tau Fu stall. When i left, she was still happily enjoying her food.

行情不好, i see so many people queuing at the ATMs. I was going to be one of them, when i noticed a woman smoking while withdrawing money!!!!!! If i had my way, i would contain all the cigrette smoke and make sure each single molecule enters from where it exited from. I seriously wonder what comes in the mind of smokers. 

.Social.Morons.

But to confront them would make me a Mega.Moron. Total waste of my time, energy, effort and lifespan. 

I really wonder which Ultra.Moron. came up with cigrette smoking.

Eating and Living Healthily

This evening, as i was walking down Wisma, i saw a bunch of monkey escorts. Cute and Toothy Monkeys. So, they were promoting healthy living. They even have a Kaki song, which went like...

"I've Got my friends,
I've Got my family,...
Doesn't matter if
I'm sad or happy,
'cos i've got them,
and they've got me,
La da doo la da dee...."

Heeheeheee...Cute but out of tune. Ai ya, should have taken a picture of them eh?

Nevermind. They've a website: http://www.healthymind.sg/luckygotkaki/
And there's ongoing competition. Prizes are attractive enough for me, so i might go and try.

On hindsight, I wonder if the monkeys have been to schools to promote healthy living. Seems like stress handling has caught up, and now they want people to be aware of "work-life-balance" eh? Unfortunately, dogs don't give up chasing their tails, so i wonder how successful the campaign will be. Anyway, the website looks interesting :D

Was admiring the night skies from the toilet.

Love the night, the scent, the seeming nothingness as darkness prevails. It is full of suspense, a parcel hidden deep within the unknown, beckoning me to peer into it, and unravel....the mystery of tomorrow.

Yet, when tomorrow morning comes, i feel dreadful for it's another toiling day. It's these wee hours that are short yet enjoyable.

When i was young and night fell, i have always imagined myself to have powers to somewhat slip into the dark and large NTUC opposite my house, and immerse myself within the mirage of TOYS. Wooooooo...i could feel the adrenaline rush from the imagination (of intense joy and excitement), of being sneaky, when no one's looking.

Strangely, i had not thought of smuggling back the toys though i loved toys. My imagination stops after i successfully hijacked the toys section. Guess it was the perceived "sense of achievement" from "triumphing" mighty unknown, rather than toys, that i hankered after.

Yes. That's nightfall for me.

Night: An end that signifies a new, unknown beginning.
Day: A start that eventually reaches an unimaginable end...

Do i really detest daylight so much? Would you prefer the night, or the day?

I think i am a lazy cow.
