Taxi Drivers

I don't know, maybe it is just me. But I find that taxi drivers don't really like to pick me up in certain parts of Singapore. I find that these parts of Singapore tend to be near areas where they (taxi drivers) can earn an extra $3. The taxis can be nice and green (meaning empty and available) and then they suddenly become busy. And there are those that just b-l-a-t-a-n-t-l-y drive past you without even slowing... even if they are on the lane next to you.

Maybe I should just show them the middle finger next time they do that. After all, if they didn't "see" me, I don't suppose they will be able to "see" my middle finger too ;)

Finding a Book

Spent 10 mins this morning and 15 mins looking for a book.

And guess where it was? Right at the first place that my wifey suggested looking at, even though I *thought* I already looked there.

Moral of the of the story: Listen to wifey, especially when it comes to finding misplaced items.

I should have figured that out by now after living with my mom and dad for most of my life.

Thanks dear! =)

Long Weekend

Which is better? A long weekend starting on a Friday or ending on a Monday?

Seems that most people that I spoke to all replied 'Ending on a Monday'. The only exception reply was 'Best if never end'. Who said people weren't creative? ^^

My boss who was overseas forgotten that Friday was a public holiday. She was wondering why there were very little emails on Friday itself and thought that there was a tech issue. Luckily she self-remembered (if there's such a phrase) that it was a long weekend.

So, what about the weekend? Went to Sungei Buloh, saw lots of interesting stuff like migratory birds (no, they are not "foreign talent" birds, they are just away from their home countries for the winter), buaya (animal kind, not human kind) and crabs (yea, just crabs, what do you expect?).

Did household chores... yea, the unglam part about owning a home... bet the housing agent didn't tell you that when you were buying your brand new 3 storey house right? :p Nah, I only stay in a cosy pigeon hole, so nothing to worry about there.

And guess what? It's Sunday tomorrow and the long weekend is almost over!!! Makes you wish wonder whether there's something to the answer 'Best if it never ends'

Quick Trial

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1090757/1/.html

What do you know, police arrested the four people and they will be on trial this Wed (3 Nov). Talk about swift work.

Intended to title this post swift juctice, but then realised that we operate on an 'innocent until proven guilty' model. Let's see whether the police got the right people ^^

Kid dies after staring incident

I'm like duh... kid dies after staring incident during Halloween. People confused whether it was for real or not.

Come on... stare until want to kill others? Trust me, those young punks who killed the kid ain't going to get much sympathy from me if they hang...
