Heard in the London tube. Not by me, unfortunately.

She never smiles. I don't think she has the muscles.

Found this quote

If happiness truly is the best medicine, what happens if you're allergic?

If you are a Dog: A very loyal and sweet person.Your loyalty can never be
doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude
towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle
free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends
cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is
not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and
easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends,all of them being
quality-personified.





If you are a Mouse: Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous
gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone.
You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder, people seek
for your company and look forward to include you for all get-togethers.
However, you are sensitive, which is a drawback. People need to select
their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and
play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath.
God bless the person then!





If you are a Lion: Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace
loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required
to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long
duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully
derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your
share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well...
hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum
and get their work done. So be careful.....





If you are a Cat: An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes
shy,with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love
exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal
circumstances you're cool, when given a reason to, you are like a volcano
waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an
icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't
like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You
observe care in choosing your friends.





If you are a Turtle: You are near to perfect and nice at heart.The
examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people.You,
too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in
the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's
back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and
give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in
return.You are generous enough.Seeing things in a practical light is what
remains the best trait of you guys.





If you are a Dove: You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in
life.Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain
unaffected.In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader
of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of
need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They
can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical
and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass
you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....





If you are a Panther: You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle
pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going
berserk.You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected
group.Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in
the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may
lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out
from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.





If you are a Monkey: Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be
done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you
are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would
like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged
or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky.
Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you
foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in
traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

I saw a worm today

There was this worm crawling on the bus, and it was very cute. Ha.. It had a very pretty colour-lime green. It reminded me of Slimey, Oscar's pet worm in Sesame Street. The worm really crawled like the puppet and I could imagine two sticks at the two ends that manipulates the puppet. It was so cute I felt like bringing it home. Ha..

Found this really cute pict of slimy...



Well, this is spooky...

I love the Channel 5 trailer for Lost where the main cast one after the another tells us to Get Lost.

Ha...

Meant to be

Hip Hip Hippies! Wow they came in last twice and escaped elimination Both times and won in the end. They are the Amazing in The Amazing Race. Its so cute to hear Tyler speaking Japanese in Japan. Fluent Japanese. Aparently cos he had(or has) a Japanese girlfriend so he's familiar with the country too. Actually the frat boys were really good too but their attitudes suck like nobody's business. Sheesh, did they need to look so pissed off at the last pit stop? As if the million dollars is rightfully theirs. If they showed more sportsmanship I would think they deserved to win too. Besides, they won many travel packages from being first in several legs of the race so there really is no reason to be so sore. Sore Losers... Previously in one episode they were really pissed that they arrived second, I think maybe it was after their winning streaks or just cos they were annoyed to be behind the Hippies, and Phil said something like, Gee couldn't you guys be a little happier? It wasn't even the last pit stop and they were annoyed to be second? Ego overload? I love it when the host voices the viewers' disapprovals. Ha..

Actually I knew the Hippies won before watching the episode and I was wondering how they won cos the frat boys were leading a bit and the only challenge seemed to be navigating on the roads which both teams were equally well in. Wow BJ did so well in the very last task. Yay...

I think its nice that almost everybody won something in this race. The good teams anyway. Ray and Yolanda won the car and the golden gnome thing, even Fran and Barry won a travel package from being first in one leg. Thay are another amazing couple.

Nice guys don't finish last.


Oh I remember something funny. In Japan, the frat boys and the Hippies left somewhere around the same time to Hotel Nikko and they went on different roads, each thinking that they were on the right way. Turns out the frat boys were on the right road but the Hippies were on the faster one. So they arrive first, around midnight (?) and asked the counter if they could use their internet access which on upstairs. Before leaving the counter, Tyler told the guys at the counter to pretend they didn't understand english. So a while later, the frat boys came, didn't see the Hippies, thought they went the wrong way and went to the counter to ask about internet access. The guy at the counter somehow couldn't bear to not reply their enquires and told them they didn't have internet access. Haha. So then they were really puzzled as to why such a big hotel didn't have internet access but nevertheless used the telephone to make enquiries to the airlines. After the Hippies were done with the internet, they see the frat boys in the lobby from upstairs and decide to walk down from the back (or somewhere) and pretend that they just arrived. Eric or Jeremy then tells them that the hotel doesn't have internet access, expressing his surprise, hiding the fact that they already made enquires via the phone, and the Hippies just returned the expressions of surprise and they just sat there waiting for the shuttle bus to take them to the airport. The camera then shows the guys at the counter laughing to themselves. Haha... A pity this didn't give them any advantage whatsoever though, cos all 3 teams turned out taking the same flight. Oh well... It was funny though. Ha..


Was it just me or did BJ look a little scared of Eric and Jeremy at the last pit stop cos they looked so pissed? Bullies.

Impulse




My first hand at flower arrangement. Unfortunately looks best only in plan view. Ha..
How fun...

Damn Danielle

For picking Aras over Terry in Survivor-Exile Island... I knew she couldn't be trusted. Probably why T didn't give her the hidden immunity idol, in case it was a ploy to vote him out. What does she mean she doesn't know what to do cos she didn't expect to be in that position? She totally expected to ride along with whoever won the last challenge? I thot the deal was that whoever won wld take the other to the final 2. Not if T wins he'll bring D. duh... I really do not like to call ppl stupid, but she can't even keep her lies straight. It's like she's just using words that she doesn't know the meanings to.

Judging by her rationale to bring the one she stands the most chance of winning against, I was kinda hoping that she'll be stupid enough to bring T. Ha.. Even tho it's quite obvious that she's the least deserving of all so almost anyone could win against her. Maybe she could have won a few more votes and integrity had she taken T on the basis that he's the most deserving and that they did have a pact.

I was so upset and annoyed that T was out (tho 14 is one of my fav numbers...) until I remembered he won the car. Ahh!! The curse of the car. Damn. Towards the end of the Reunion Jeff pointed out that T kept the car curse alive. Ha..

Well, I suppose at least he got the car. And in the end, all is forgiven, and everybody is happy. At least, looked like on tv. Except Shane. So funny that in the last tribal council he was so annoyed with Courtney using his shoulder for support everytime she left or went back to her seat. He siam so far away. He is one funny wack...

One-year-old writer

I realised that if I carried on writing in that fashion, my chances of being nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature, let alone winning it, would be slim. So I stopped and regrouped. And had a bit of a think.

I contemplatively sucked on a piece of zwieback, using the physical activity and the sugar rush to aid my concentration. As that brittle biscuit dissolved satisfyingly in my mouth, the realisation dawned that insight lies not in the simple recounting of experiences but in the collision of experiences with opinion. That what I should write was not really a continuous story, more a series of dispatches from the front line. And that if I followed this approach, and trusted in the intelligence of the reader, then you, the reader, would be able to discern the big picture without me having to spell it out for you.

I must admit, it was an approach that appealed to me.

After all, why should I do all the work?
