The book...The massa & Chicken George were riding high on their rooster fights successes. George had some $2k saved as he was planning to buy his family's freedom. Then George loses all his savings cos his massa wanted to save face & squandered all his slave's money as well as his own in a chicken fight with some lord from england. So the massa loans george to the lord for 3 years to train his roosters in england to pay off his debts of some $80K which is alot of money in the 1800s. Then massa can't sustain looking after his roosters, his farm & has no income, sells the entire family except for grandma Kizzy cos she is too old & the slave trader didn't want her. So Matilda (george's wife) & their 6 kids (4 boys & 2 girls) are sold off. At least he sells them off together. Fortunately to a good new massa & missus who are newbies in owning slaves & farming.

Survivor...none of the 3 finalists deserve to be in the finals. Last Friday was a really interesting session where the jury hantam Dreamz & Cassandra terok terok. Those are the 2 least deserving to be there. It should have been Earl & Yau Man. But Earl out manouvred Yau Man cos he knew that the jury would vote for Yau Man to win. So probably Earl will win. At least I hope he will.

At the office, I was relating to a colleague how this guy parks in a no parking zone next to the mall & got fined by the traffic police. He writes a letter to traffic police with copy to the mall saying that the road is a private road belonging to the mall lah & that its the mall's fault cos never put any signs to say no parking there etc etc. If it is indeed mall's private road, why would traffic police bother. DUH !!! Can't believe some things which people try. Or is this true ignorance ??

Lament for the day : If dreamz or cassandra wins, I will give up watching survivor.
