the wolves violated the Swiss law when they overate the sheeps?!?

"Unbeknownst to the predators, the rampage had exceeded those tolerated under the official quota.

Swiss law allows predators to kill only 35 animals in four months, while in a month, the quota is 25.

However, that limit falls to 15 a month for protected herds, as in the case of the wolves' prey.

Animals violating this law can be shot."

Oh gosh!!! I thought my eyes saw wrong when I skim past this headline... What a weird article?!?

PERFECT Surprise!

OK I'm not going to upload any pictures today... why? Cos somehow or another I lost my "compose in HTML" format. I don't know why and I don't intend to harp on it today. I just want to Blog it out!

Anyway after a day of MC thanks to food poisoning, I'm back to work. Well I thought that it's gonna be same old minus the cool fact that I get to dress down today cos we won some office event again!

Well after lunch, Old fashion bean asked me if I brought my ipod. So I sluggishly said "yes". As I lazily reach out to my ipod, he placed a whole box of "something" on the cubicle divider. Before I can make out what that "something" was, ET started walking towards me and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. HUH!?! (but my birthday isn't today...)

Then, boss suddenly popped her head out of her cubicle and said something too (gosh! I can't recall cos everything happened all at the same time). MK started giving me the impish smile and said,'' that's the reason why I can't get you the rose quartz bracelet." Even Doc G seemed to know what is happening...

GOSH!!! First time! For the first time! I'm totally taken by surprise! hahahaha.. It turned out my delectable and my dearest colleagues has gotten me a TKD ipod player + charger + radio + alarm clock! Woohoo... how cool can it get!!! THEY TOTALLY ROCKZ!

In the past years, I would usually be able to sniff out the possible surprises way before the pressie reach me. But this year! muahaha! I'm glad someone beat me to it! So that I can have a TRUE BLUE Surprise!

I was totally dumbfounded. I hadn't even mentioned this "want" of mine to anybody except CY and YS. But well... I changed my mind after I got wall*e. But well this is even better! (though I still love wall*e).

Hmm... Now to showcase my latest darling gadget... Well, it's in slick black. It's very polite and greets me with "Hello" when it's starting up and "Bye" when it's shutting down. (Old fashion bean actually thought I went bonkers with joy when I mirrored a high pitch "Hello" to my latest gadget... duh!).

Did I mention that it has a remote control. YES! it can control the songs from the ipod remotely from my bed or else where as long as I can see the menu on the ipod.

It has a radio too! So cool! Cos ipod is definitely short of that on it's own. This way, I can also tune into the latest songs when I get sick of those in my ipod. harhar... I'm lovin' it already!

Yes there's an alarm clock too.. But I think I will skip this function cos I don't wanna send a deadly "karate chop" my latest darling gadget to death with my daily morning wrestle.

Well, I'm sure there are much more functions waiting for me to discover them.... Which I will! Slowly...

In the meantime, I wanna thank Old fashion bean and fiz for coming up with this idea and turning the whole of Singapore upside down to get this wonderful gift! I wanna thank boss for generously letting out your precious vouchers so that this purchase is possible! I wanna thank ET for singing me the beautiful birthday song! It's one of the sweetest song I've ever heard! (I'm serious. NO Kidding!) I wanna thank MK, Beloved Little face, Doc G and R for making this gift so so so possible! I'm SO TOUCHED!!!!!! Like in my earlier email, you all WOW-ed me to tears! Muchas Gracias!!!! Love ya all... MUACKZ!

Forgetful Dory NO MORE

I just can't help feeling like Dory in "Finding Nemo" recently. Especially after the recent "burning midnight oil" session to complete the presentation.

Too many brain cells must have been sacrificed. DUH. Or was it just that I'm aging???

Anyway I decided not to leave things to fate. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

So I went to the pharmacy and bought GINGKO essence tablet! :)

What's wrong?!?

Gosh! The human brain is indeed a super duper complicated organ. Everyday it just hit me," What's wrong?" with these people?

- How can people be so contented to stay in the middle of the bus and cement themselves there when there's obviously a major human jam happening at the front of the bus thanks to them?
=> There must be a ghost at the back of the bus!

-How can people sit so comfortably beside a heavily pregnant woman who is desperately trying to maintain her balance while standing in a moving bus/ MRT?
=> Maybe they do not know that there is a baby growing inside a pregnant lady...

- How can people just blast off their mouth at anybody at the other end of the phone eventhough they knew that they grossly wrong?
=> They definitely are not aware of Karma!

- How can people just tai-chi their responsibilities away and still shoot off at the innocent?
=> Again, they are illiterate about Karma! gosh! someone please save them from their stupidity!

- How can people who are irresponsible, immature and incompetent still announce that they are the Best in the entire world?
=> They need a mirror!

Wa lau... I can go on and on but that will probably not change a single thing. Day in day out, I see these people sashay around me. But one thing is for sure: I will confirm + chop be damn miserable if I continue to be upset by these people. So I have decided!!!! I will change my own mentality and I will definitely NOT be like these people... Some day Karma will put everybody in their own place. SO I should seriously just take care of my own Karma before it takes care of me...

Awake!

I was actually planning to blog about my recent eye-opener at Butterfactory or even my Girl's night out with Jean, Mau, Chui and CY but i decided to blog about why I'm still up at this unearthly hour.

GOSH!!! I had a cup of Hot Honey Green Tea at Cha Chan Tin so that I can snooze properly tonight. But Ma sms me to remind me to drink the pot of Chinese Herbal Soup that she specially brewed for me- WOW it's not everyday that I get such privilege. I had to Thank my dearest Zen Auntie for opening the tiny purple clay slow cooker which Ma won at a lucky draw some months/ years back.


I like the idea of returning home with a bowl of hot soup waiting for you- very cheena right? YA. I never deny that I'm old-school ma... Stuff cooked from purple clay is good stuff too. Touch of tradition in a modern way. Anyway I dutifully drank the pot of black liquid. As I was thinking to myself if it would have been too heaty for me, I had already finished the deed.

Then I treated myself to some ME-time by reading this book "Speaking with the angel" by Nick Hornby with my good old Sony Ericsson playing emo music in the background.- Totally in the mood for some serious sleeping. As planned, I slowly drifted to sleep. BUT I only managed to DRIFT but not exactly SLEEP. GOSH!!!! My precious sleep has been robbed from me since last week. About the same time, an irritating migraine developed and refused to leave me.

I felt a trickling sensation all over my body. Then I felt IT! - HEAT. I hate to say it but I'm feeling super peck chek now cos I'm dying to sleep and rest my tired mind and wretched body but I can't. I think the black liquid has performed it's function- Improve the blood circulation. BUT by doing so, it has generated heat and the trickling sensation and WORSE Kept me awake against my will. I should have taken it in the morning as a caffeine shot or something. ARGH..................................... Hopefully by the end of this post, I would have feel better and able to resume my beauty sleep like the little girl below:

What you find in a restaurant and a tea cup...

Finally met JJ, GI, E and ling for a meal. Haha we went to this Spanish/ Mexican restaurant in town and *burnt our pockets for the meal. (*The theory of demand and supply worked perfectly well here, when there is scarcity, the price is exorbitant!)

Anyway it was good meeting these ladies. The meal was so-so but I was more amused by someone else in the restaurant.

GI and the gang kept elbowing me to check out this BIG lady who was super voluptuous. So weird right?!? Usually I would expect this kind of enthusiasm from my brudders or Tlam or Fiz. But from 4 equally well-endowed ladies? (*scratch head*) Well, it didn't took me a long time to find out why. They were actually impressed by the immense self-confidence that this big lady exuded when she wore her deep V proudly. True enough, usually the beauty of one is actually the reflection of your own self confidence. Side-track: Looking back now, I realised I was the only "Airport" last night. But who cares!!! muahaha!

Well, after failing to scream-chat with the ladies in the heavily "live-band"ed restaurant, we retreat to a quieter setting for tea. I was hoarse by then. This was when Ling pointed out something interesting to me!

Simi?!? ( Hot Tea + Smiley Face = Time) Hmm... I guess, it's something like that : Take a break, have tea :) Anyway, there were more picto-formula for other tea cups... something to ponder when you are drinking tea...
