Argh! Excuse for not posting these few days:
Singaporeans strive to be #1 in EVERYTHING and wants to be all savvy and smart.
But wat's the point of being savvy if you dun read websites, but just bombard organizations with STUPID questions?!?!??!?!!
And wat's the point of being so modern and all when you cannot control the basics of basic of courtesy and manners?!?!?!
I'm so busy now answering to stupid ppl (cannot reveal more as this will reveal my job and get me into trouble) that i simply cannot breathe!
&^%#^%2Q0(*#$*&^w#$
Hopefully will write another post in this lifetime, provided the stupid ppl starts learning.

Grandma's tales # 2
It's Monday and it's time for another one of Grandma's tales.
This week, I shall share with you the myth behind the tale of "Thou shalt not cut your nails at night".
Apparently, this superstition applies only to ladies. Specifically virgin ladies!
It was believed by our grandmas that the nails lie the elixir to everlasting youth, and that pontianaks (female vampires of ancient folklore around these regions) are able to pick up freshly cut nails at night and follow the owners of the nails and eventually track them down and suck their blood to remain youthful.
If you're a virgin and you're a lady, and you believe it then it's time to cut those nails in the day.
Personally, I think its BULLCRAP.
Till next week.
And they dare to call me Orbin.

"I wish men had boobs because I like the feel of them. It's so funny - when I record I sing with a hand over each of them, maybe it's a comfort thing."
- Emma Bunton, Baby Spice of the now-defunct pop band Spice Girls
Note to Emma: So how many hands have you got, girl? You must love elderly men with man-boobies!
"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."

Note to Brooke: Do you understand the meaning of the word kill? It means losing of life altogther, genius!

Note to Britney: You continue to surprise us with your knowledge, or lack of.
Hmmm, 2 of the 3 above are blonds. Still wonder why there are so many blond jokes around?

Useless fact of the week
Think about this: How useful are machines which can record the number of cars passing a given point on a road to anyone? Yet this is the main product of the very first business of the richest man in the world - Bill Gates.
Moral of the factual story - Don't look down on people with apparent stupid business ideas, they could be slapping your face with money in their next business. So, don't give up you failed businessmen!

I am here
Some ppl say that if you dun get enough rest, your brain doe not function well, and you will feel restless and lack of energy. Rest well and you mind, body and soul will function at its best.
So how come, after a WHOLE weekend of sleep and nothing but sleep, i feel as restless and as sleepy and as tired and as unmotivated more than if i had followed my normal routine of only sleeping for about 7 hours each day? Sighz.
Must be Monday Blues.
Anyhow, I'm back. Only coz Mr Orbin has posted 3 posts and me none. Sighz. Will be back again, as soon as I've digested all the yong tao fu soup and the chng tng soup in my tummy. :-(

Grandma's tales #1
It's a brand new week and I'm going to introduce a new segment to this blog every monday - Grandma's tales.
Some of us may have heard of some of these before but apparently there are 'reasons' behind it. Here, I will put out one by one, the numberous grandma's tales I literally got from my grandma.
Here's the first one - Pointing to the moon is disrespectful to the moon deity and it will punish you by cutting your ear.
I heard this from grandma when I was very young and when my brother's ear got a severe deep cut to his left ear once, I really believed in it.
As I grow up, I wonder why then isn't most loving couples suffering from the same fate (think about the corniest 'romantic' line of all time - look at how round the moon is tonight) and then I realise it must be a whole load of BULL.
Aiyoh, and they dare to call me Orbin!

Where is Ms Yucki?
Hmmm, this Ms Yucki mentioned she was planning to update this blog sometime last week, but I don't see her around.
Where did you go?
And they dare to call me Orbin.

start to the day
How the day starts for you is essential to how you feel for the rest of the day.
Last monday, I set off 10 minutes earlier than usual to work to clear some expected incoming emails over the weekend. Firstly, the first bus arrived late to effectively cancel out my 10 minutes headstart.
Then the connecting bus refused to come. For 30 minutes! And when it finally arrived, there were TWO of them. 2! What the HELL?
Did the drivers wait for each other to finish their breakfast before heading out together? Did they smoke and chit chatted together and then decide to set off at a later timing together? Or did they go for a quickie (which didn't turn out to be quick after all) in the handicapped toilet?
Ok, I shall not digress further.
Then when I arrived at the bus stop, it poured. Relentlessly, the heavens teared. And guess what happened as I finally got to the entrance of my office buiding. I saw my big boss coming out for an early smoke break! And during our weekly meeting, he mentioned that we should observe our punctuality in a thinly veined attempt to point out my fault. GEEZ... the awesome luck I was having!
Needless to say, the rest of the day was just awful. I just didn't know the rest of the week was as well. I hope this week is much better though.
