A few interesting articles in today's papers. First one about Myanmar offering to sell us sand & granite. We've got friendly neighbours, well some more than others lol.

Another story about this man in his 30s who was found guilty of drugging taxi drivers & then molesting them. Errr wtf ?? The drivers he drugged were men in their 50s & 60s. Is this guy sick or what ??? Daft & demented. Thought such weird stuff only happened in other countries. Wah liao.

And there's the tale of the 2 Singapore swimmers who allegedly smiled at the rotten luck of the USA relay swim team for being disqualified in the World Championships. Doesn't affect them one way or another so why would they be smiling with glee ? Mountain out of a molehill (what's smaller than a mole hill ? ant hill ?). So whichever media started this, save the media space to talk about aid for Solomon Islands. Move on please lah duh.

Finally, the guy who test-drove a car & got into an accident which resulted in the death of the sales executive accompanying him. Its been just over a year. No doubt he hasn't been formally implicated. But someone did die. The audacity to decide which sportscar to buy after that incident ?? Got lots of flak from the chatroom he was in. Wonder if its mistaken identity ? It takes a very callous, cold & indecent person to be talking about what fast car to buy when someone died in the car you were test-driving. Sigh...but what do I know. Case is still under investigation.

Ohhh last night I googled movie stars without make-up. Dunno why, bored I guess. Waaaah ! Interesting photos maaan ! Quite scary also lol.Speaking of movie stars, I met Michael Jackson during his first concert here. He was staying at the hotel where I worked. He was actually quite nice & soft spoken. But quite unnaturally white. He signed on Sarah's photo. I'm not sure if that autograph is worth alot or nothing. But despite all the controversy, he made good music.

Dinner conversation was reminiscing some things the kids said & did. Accidentally eating own poop, getting foreskin stuck on revolving part of a toy gun, thinking vampire is pronounced grampire & butterfly is futterfly.

I remember some years ago, a year after my dad passed away, a big brown moth was seen above Sarah's desk in her room where she was doing her work. It was my dad's birthday & the Chinese believe that a moth seen in your home means your ancestor is visiting. So I told both the kids about the belief & that it was granddad visiting them. I also said it was his birthday.

A little while later, I hear Ryan yelling to his sis that granddad is watching her do her homework & thinking how untidy her handwriting is. Then a few minutes later, I hear both of them singing happy birthday to granddad moth.

Lament for the day : what's the big deal about Fann Wong's hairstyle ? Got nothing else to talk about meh ??
