what has it done to deserve my wrath? on weekdays, when it goes off at 6:45am, i am already not too pleased. still i tolerate, with veiled contempt for that thing. but this morning, when i was just in the middle of the sweetest dream ever (don't ask me what the dream was, ok? i'll plead temporary amnesia), the bugger had to go off. give me a break. i haven't had a beautiful dream like this for months....maybe even years. one that will still bring a smile to my lips when i think about it (what? what? i dunno what the dream was about!) when life gets you down and you escape into your dreams, the devil sent its representative to make sure you don't get that temporary reprieve. tried as i might, i couldn't go back to my dreams. sigh!
i must go consult mr lo, the fortune teller this week. there seems to be something wrong in the way the stars and moons are aligned. (changed topic already lah, for those still in the blur) or maybe it's just my mind. after my post last week on unhappiness, i'm sensing more people are down with the misery bug. ah pek sounds tired of living (yim sai), siau cha bor has gone on a hiatus, nine3 nine4 also takes time off to sort things out, wingz have allowed lin peh to take over his website, lin peh has gone mute and is just posting pictures instead of talking, min is suffering from contemplative disorder and 5xmom posted something really shocking (which added to my depression but thanks for opening my eyes). er, feels like this misery bug is spreading faster than the avian flu or the hfm in sarawak. or maybe it's just the weather.
ok, time to jump to another topic. if i seem to flit restlessly from one topic to another, it's because i have many things on my mind today. hence the title today "a pinch of this, a pinch of that". bear with me.
imagine this scenario: you are with a group of friends and is suddenly approached by another individual; be it male or female. this new person knows one of your friends and sits down to chat. he/she seems very nice and is actually quite attractive, full of confidence and flair. suddenly the topic of age comes up and this new individual says to you, "so, how old do you think i am?". shit! you have just been placed on the table! die-die situation.
there is no winner to this question, my friends. it's not too difficult to guess the correct age, in the ballpark at least. there are always tell-tale signs; like the hands, the neck, the tenacity or tautness of the skin, the little wrinkle marks and the general condition of the skin. but it's the correct answer to give that's the difficult part. if you understate the age by a lot, you are just insulting the person by saying that he/she is immature for his age. if you overstate, you are saying that they look too old. if you guess correctly, you are saying that they have not been taking care of themselves and do not look better than their age group. nobody wins in a situation like this.....so the best answer to give is........."er, i need to go to the toilet."
people, you have been warned!

totally agree. everybody i know is sick or coming down with something. hai yah! wish the weather will improve soon. will seek reprieve in cameron soon.
dimples ah, er what you say, how come i don't understand? generation gap ah? cannot be mah. what is this talk about toilet? you diarrhoea is it? that's why cannot post ah?
to the rest: what happened to the rest of my readers? where did everybody run to? why no more komen? everybody also sick ah? boring lah, no interaction. maybe i also take rest lah *sulking* seems to be fashionable nowadays.
aiyoh my lenglui, u say geh , 'so the best answer to give is........."er, i need to go to the toilet."'
u so fast lupa what u post ah?
ah pek is right. The weather kejap panas, kejap hujan making everyone kepala pusing.
I agree with you. After the petrol hike, everyone seems to lost their humour. Heck, even I who dunno the price of petrol or kopi-o also got the sombre mood. Usually, my post is kick off by someone's else and lately no one seems to write anything bubbly.
kekeke. sorry mr dimples, i have very bad memory lah. malu lah...write already so fast forget. lucky i got dimples to remind me. but hopefully by the time come back from toilet, the topic would have changed. if not, quickly change the topic to something hum sap, everybody sure interested.
dear min, i also think weather driving people nuts lah. but we still have to go on. maybe what ah pek needs is a little tlc (tender loving care)
dear 5xmom, my heart wants to be bubbly too....but i am hopelessly pathetic. i tell joke also no one will laugh.
to all: *big hugs* hang in there, everybody.
