End of Mission

End of my mission is so near, yet so far.
I can't move an inch from my throne, fearing not that some one would steal my laptop, but my laptop with all the episodes I've desperately downloaded from youtube.
56 kb connection in our apartment,... well it as good as that anyway, doesn't even allow me to buffer anymore than 10 seconds.
Sitting alone at the cafe, I can smell tobacco,... even though indoor smoking is banned in ninja land, but hey you think they would obey what's written on a small notice board? I'm still way too law binding,.... I grew up in obedience and believing that I'm a good citizen back at home. The tint of smell of torturing me,...
So near, yet so far.
Tonight, I shall enjoy the fruit to my labour.

Another Reason Why

I hate Vista.
My plugins for Morzilla seemed to be going bonkers. Pages seemed to time out and so forth.
First suspect, my connection. But Moo on the other hand had no complains... so if can't be that.
No,.... it can't be that bad. It just can't be.
I'm trying to max out the bandwidth at the cafe,... I've paid for my service therefore I intend to sponge as much as possible.
Five minutes later, finally managed to rectify the problem.... how?
By simply emptying my recycle bin. Nope, I've 40Gb of free space on my C drive,.... and there din't seemed to be that many items in my bin..... but that seemed to have done the trick,....
Vista had again left me speechless....

Never fails to bring on a smile

From my favorite monkey.

Cheese Z & Evil Crackling

I've finally got used to my portable sewing machine.
Fingers got itchy,... it has been a long time,...

Ladies and Gents, boys and gals, may I present you with Cheese Z and Evil Crackling.

Feeling dry

A girlfriend of mine asked what I've been up to lately. Nothing,... No inspiration, no imagination. My brain's dry. Somehow this place doesn't do me good. What I need is out there in cyberworld since this country is so non-inspirating, therefore my resources is limited. Sigh. I'm not rising the white flag. I'll find some other ways to sponge. Meanwhile, all post would be pretty moony.

脑袋空白，急需灵感。要不必成走肉疆兕。不， 我不取服， 我不愿加入这忍者国的疆兕一族。

Side note, Angel's got through her interview this morning. Yahhhhoooooo. Praise the Lord, isn't he amazing? It's indeed a miracle in modern day. Gal, you did great too. I await the good news on the visa. Finally the silver lining. Once again congratulation on passing your interview. You brought a smile to my so so gloomy day.

Wii Boxing

You CB*. CCB**, CCB, CCB, get up you CB. That's all I can hear for the whole of tonight. See the expression on the cow? His face is turning lobster red. DS made me swear, while Wii inserted evilness into the cow. After one night, we accumulated more than 700 points each on Wii boxing. 1000 points on bowling earned me a star bowling ball, I wonder what I'd get for boxing? A pair of spiky boxing gloves that'd disfigure my opponent with just a punch?

* An acronym to a very vulgar term used to describe someone's fanny.
Not a very nice word to use.

** Power up to the acronym as mentioned before,... that's all I can say.

They won't be sleeping much anyway

In three month's time, Miguel and Zara would be expecting the arrival of their lil princess. Dragged Moo down to the mall and picked up a present for them, yes, Dragged with a capital D. Moo doesn't have the habit of getting presents for peeps. Pink with a Winnie the Pooh theme, hope the grumpy monkey (not quite grumpy nowadays, guess Zara knows his buttons lol) and our first time mum would like it.
It was a real challenge wrapping the present, ran out of sticky tapes, had to improvise by using a glue stick and some needle and thread.

Words

Sometimes the choice of words used are the key to escalating argument, by using negative remarks like 'why are you so dumb', 'you are so unreasonable' to simply 'please stop being so moody'. When Venus tries to explain, Mars would insist that he understands,.... no,... basic fact, guys DON'T LISTEN!!! Sigh. If you can't truly grasp the information, just keep your mouth shut, give Venus a hug, and just keep your mouth shut. Blabbering things like, 'Man, you are overreacting' ain't gotta help. Keep those remarks and allow some cooling down time.
Words tends to be as powerful as bullets sometimes. Choice of words would often save you from alotta trouble, and not forgetting tone of voice which I'd often reminded the cow.
Man, some peep really need to brush up their EQ.

Tiramisuy V Day

Was supposed to have an electrician turn up yesterday morning to repair the power point which got fried by the lousy heat fan,... by noon and there's no news. Went down to the lobby,.... @#*"£%&£ to be informed by the fatso 'maintenance supervisor' of the building that he's not turning up,.... #@!*$? There's an intercom system to the apartments right in front of the building,... can't he just lifted up his fat fingers and press a button to let me know? Guess his lazy arse was too comfortable on his sofa throne,... IDIOT!!!!!

He promptly gave his words that the fella would come by today,... and after rounds and rounds of questioning, he gave me a time,.... 3pm. And I went on to remind him that IF the electrician isn't gonna turn up today, he has to let me know,.... but somehow I find his 'Yes' doesn't sound too convincing,...

Side track a lil, it's that day of the year again, when restaurants are full with reservations and florist grinning with orders. Miguel's wife tried to make a booking for a table at the restaurant 4 days ago but was told that they were fully booked way before. Last resort, she decided to stay in and prepare a nice dinner,.... but was unfortunately informed by the maintenance that there's a power cut in the afternoon,... bad luck. Chuckle, Miguel showed the optimistic side of him, when Moo invited him to join us at the eatery tonight replied, ' Poor man will eat bread and drink milk tonight, drink milk, feels tired, go to bed and forget about being hungry.'
Anyway, too tired from all the waiting,... din't notice the cake in the fridge lol. Cow bought it on the way home from work, meant to surprise me,... but such subtleness doesn't work on a walking zombie.... Nevertheless, my Cow was really sweet after his lesson last year.

3.05pm, went to the lobby again and was given ANOTHER time,... 5pm,... it's now 5,.... NOTHING!!!!! No calls, no nothing!!!! Give it another 5 mins and this angry kitten will be storming down again in her PJs.

In the Midst of our Search

On Moo's third day off, we've decided to drive around looking for the local infamous 'Tree of Life'. Not knowing exactly where and how it looks like, we took the turn at the roundabout which led to lesser vegetation. Well it only make sense if there are too many 'trees' around the Tree of Life, it wouldn't be that famous after all ain't it?
While the driver was pretty clueless of the exact location, the passenger got rather paranoid that they'd be stranded in the middle of nowhere if the fuel gets low. Moo reassured that if the tank goes below a quarter, we'd just head back regardless of whether we get to our destination. With no petrol stations nor shops in sight, I find it rather peculiar that there are signs for a financial company as well as a telecommunication company,..... and this is supposed to be a 'holiday camp site'. Yes, the same one which I've 'naively' mistaken as a refugee camp from an earlier post. It still makes me wonder why such a location was selected as a camping area, with chemical plants and oil pipes everywhere, the air is permeated with a weird scent which clearly isn't healthy for holidaymakers. The rent for the camps ain't cheap either, from what I've gathered from a team outing, each pax had to pay roughly in the region of USD 85. With that amount of money, I expected more scenic than this,...
And nope, we din't manage to find The Tree that day, but hopefully we'd have better luck next time.

Irresistible

My weakness for bags has once again been tested, craving's back!! Sigh, can't help it but to fall victim for one more member to my growing collection. *Grinning as my hand slowly stroke her soft velvety skin* Ahhh, mummy will love you dearly.

Ashes

Recycle, recycle, recycle. After a yummy mayo tuna and pickle sandwich, what can I do with the can? It looks to chrome and pretty to end up in the bin. Some cardboard, tape, and a candle later I've got a new ashtray. The letterings doesn't look as great coz it was cut out from magazines,.... I lost the driver for my HP printer and can't seem to find a working copy online, anyone has a copy?
The end product din't turn out as great,.... I was too afraid of burning my fingers.

Ratty Year without Stinky Nappies

Too old to receive red packets, and not 'qualified' to give out any either. Even though I missed the new year ambiance and snacks, at least managed to escape from all my relatives' questionings on topics like when I'm gotta hold my wedding ceremony back home, and most importantly the issue on having kids,..... I'm sure some of my friends faces the same round of questions when they go for New Year visits as well.
For now, we are happy just the way we are, kids have to wait I'm afraid. Sorry mum and dad, you won't be hearing irritating cries and smell stinky nappies for quite a while.

PS: Moo, here's the link to the new photoblog I've recently done. I've only managed to upload stuff under canines and felines (they are seperated by the way).

One Evil Cow

Yes, he's truly one evil cow. I've cleared the dishes, cut his hair, made his meals, and this is how he repays me?
After his personal barber shaved off his lovely locks, she began sweeping the floor since other than sand phobia, he's got hair phobia as well...

As illustrated in the diagram on the right, as I was sweeping the pile of hair left on the floor, the cow proceed to washing his head in the tub.
Just as I squat down with the broom and dustpan, the cow then decided to prepay my kindness by dropping a gas bomb,.... RIGHT IN MY FACE!!!!!! Dammit!!!!! As if that wasn't enough, he even knocked over the bin with a handful of hair in it.

The villain ought to be punished, and what better way to do that than to leave him to do what he fear most. Yes, he's clearing the mess on his own, no mercy on my end!

Sandy Day

Howling wind, debris flying pass our window, it seemed like a scene taken straight outta Wizard of Oz when Dorothy's home was swept up by the tornado. Fortunately for us, its just another sandstorm, well not exactly a storm to speak.
The bad weather stayed through the night, and as you can see, visibility was pretty poor the next day. With my teeth grinding few grains of sand, and Moo fighting his sand phobia (sand has cunningly sneaked into his socks) we finally made it into the car, braving the haze and took off to the stores.

On the way home, we started having a debate as we stared at the foreign object in the sky. Is it the moon or the sun? We could no longer tell. I voted for the moon, while Moo on the other hand made his firm stand that it's the sun.

By the time we reached our apartment, it was gone, so I guessed Moo was right after all.

On the other note, my lil babies are flourishing. Coriander, poppies, marigold and another unknown seedling (lost track of which seeds we sowed in the last box). Sadly the chilli, sunflower and lavender are not showing any progress at all.

The earth has received the embrace of the sun, and we shall see the results of that love.
