Because I'm crazy, and I can.

Nothing can brighten up a child's day like Dora the explorer..

The little latina with her pet monkey. See! She gets a pet monkey. Why can't I!?

Read how Dora can ruin your life.


Nothing better then the good ole Teletubbies who live somewhere in Yorkshire I suppose.......

See the resemblance?

Thanks to BBC and Nickolodeon for the crazy pics.

Ain't he cuddly!!

月下獨酌

花間一壺酒， 獨酌無相親；
舉杯邀明月， 對影成三人。
月既不解飲， 影徒隨我身；
暫伴月將影， 行樂須及春。
我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零亂；
醒時同交歡， 醉後各分散。
永結無情遊， 相期邈雲漢。

一样的天空， 一样的希望？

有些时候，我不知道我为什么给自己无后果的希望。还没问， 我已经知道你的答案是什么。 有些时候，我不知道我为什么会情不自禁的开口和你对谈。 也许是我为了我们俩人之间以前的友情， 也许是因为最近感到特别的孤单， 也许。

人身中有许许多多的后悔，盼望， 和期待。 又有几个好汉能够说他一身中绝无后悔呢？你，就是我的后悔。

Remembering what it was like.

I just watched Band of Brothers, and at every battle scene, I found myself gripping the remote so tightly I think it broke.

The resemblance at times were uncanny. Seriously. I've never been in a real battle before, real enemies shooting at you and stuff, but somehow, watching BoB reminded me so much of my Infantry training phase in OCS almost 3 years ago.

The camaraderie and that sometimes almost destitute situations you find yourself in.. It was strikingly uncanny.

Only this time, the enemy was our Instructors, while in BoB, they had to endure ze Germans with zeir MP40s, and Walther PPs. Luckily, our instructors only had the instrument of severe physical and mental punishment, and also the power to kick us out of OCS.. to be honest, compare that to a Maschinen Karbiner 42.. i'd rather face the later. : S


(The pic above was on the last day of Ex Battleking, where the Recce and Survey group gathered to take a final picture after the final round shot out and landed (i.e end of exercise). Unfortunately, I don't have any of my more garang infantry photos on this laptop.. some of which are ridiculously hilarious. : P)

In my subtler moments.

As I was watching How to be a Property Developer on E4 today, my mind drifted away to how I would spend my money, IF I had won 250000 quid. There were so many thoughts! And one of them included a gigantic candy floss machine.

I thought of buying a pet monkey too.. and maybe I could buy my own land have my own sheep, and make them wear clothes. So my land preferbably has to be close to a motorway or A road... hmmm..

In the end, it all boiled down to here and now.. the money would go to my school fees, rent, good food, and a trekking holiday to Morocco, Nepal, Tibet, and India. Note the AND, not just.

Well, I'd get a pet monkey too. Like the one you see on The Simpsons, Mr Teeny..What I call the Generic Type Monkey. How a monkey should look like...

Not the furry kind scary black and chimpanzee like ones...

Anyway. Yes.. back to 250000... So i begun daydreaming on how I should get my hands on that sum of money.. and it all boiled down to... The Scratchcard.

So.. The scratchcard, purchasable for 2 pounds each at the off licence or otherwise known in Singaporean terms as Mama shop, gives you a 1 in 4.14 chance of winning anything from 2 to 250000 quid! wow. So why not init?

After mass, as I was walking home from church, I decided to try my luck and buy one!

When I got home.. using a penny, with great anticipation, I scratched the card from the bottom up.. hoping for the best..

The bottom row of numbers peeked through the scratch away stuff.. there was a 2.... a 5... a 0.. and 3 other zeroes! What luck! my first number was 250000! And so i needed 2 more to strike!

The second row was equally licentious... another 250000! Hurrah!! All thoughts of working during the summer was wiped away, and i imagined myself suavely walking into the house declaring that I shall go on a long holiday to Morocco on the next flight out. I began to even think about who I should invite and kindly pay for the entire trip's cost.... It was insane.

With great anticipation.. I struck the scratchy foil off a small bit of the 3rd row.. and the first digit was a damned 2! OMG. OMG. OMG. The sun is shining from my ass.. its a 2! Its a 2!! Morocco! In style!

AAaaaaaaaaaand........ Oh damn. its 2000. : ( Nevermind... nevermind.. there are another 3 rows to it!! 3 rows!! I could either win 250000 or any other figure.. well.... 2000 pounds seem alright to me too!!

Slowly and surely, I scratched the bit off where the first digits of the number would appear.. oh no.. oh no.. its another 2000.. This isn't good. I've got 2 2000s and 2 250000s!! I don't mind winning 2000... I could still go to Morocoo for a week or 2!

I decided to be bold and strike the rest of the rows off.. With one swift motion of my penny, I rubbed the bit, enough for me to see the numbers. Oh damn. its 2 pounder. nevermind. Theres one more ro!

Oh damn. its another 2 pounds.

So I just lost 2 quid instead of winning 250000 or even 2000 quid.

Oh well.. better luck next time. There was once a scratchcard I got from sainsbury's paid my entire week's groceries for me.. That was with JT back in manchester..

As the singaporean saying goes.. Got buy got hope, No buy.. no hope.

Man never Is, but always To be blest..." - Alexander Pope.

Another day Mr Teeny!
