God bless the Poke and Train

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

At work.. well at office not at work. Work will commence in a few minutes. heh heh

I’ve had some thoughts these past few days..Random ones. Touchy issue like what the Pope quoted. (which offended many, and I’m sitting on the fence here) THEN!I remembered my annoying niece who loves to ask endless questions,(she’s now 5) asking my mum after Mass what we were discussing(at that time Pope John Paul ii passed away) and so we explained. Then the next question was "Why the Poke die?"….hahahahahahaha. It’s a sad situation, but all of us couldn’t help it. Poke!hahahahahahahaa. I’ll never let her live this down. I never had a younger sibling to bully so here comes my chance! And when she was younger, she’d say Bustdin instead of Dustbin hahahahaha..I remembered when I was young I, too, made many mistakes and noooo! does my family forget?huh.SOoooo it’s my duty to keep this tradition alive.:>

Remember the jingle to Yakult ad? " It’s a healthy life!"or something. I kept singing "It’s a HELPY life!", Poh piah was PORK PIA.. that wasn’t the end I said Army ghost festival instead of Hungry ghost festival…what was I thinking?I don’t know really..Maybe nothing..hmf. When I was a toddler, my siblings said I had an evil streak cause I kept rolling on their feet and giving them a smile. And I admit my parents spoiled me, wouldnt let them scold me. hahaha Then once I rolled so hard I fell out of the balcony. Karma.  I had damn itchy fingers and the only way to stop me from touching stuff was rambutans. haha. Place them anywhere and I’ll not touch it.

Watch out niece, I’m on a mission!hahaha. Evil?nah she’s equally evil for her age.

This morning, I got on the train today and felt ok this morning isnt too bad. Don’t get grumpy! Then station after station we passed, finally chinatown. Not my stop. I had my earphones in my ears, so I didnt know what was going on but I noticed the panic look on many faces and many not getting down..They had this crazed look in their eyes like caged animals..I didnt think much of it till I got out of Outram and people were rushing and pushing and running to the other side to get on the other train that goes backwards. One idiot stepped on my slipper and scrapped my heel which was blistered from yesterdays shoes.:( And i didnt realise I hissed..Like a , hssssss!..didnt know I could hiss out of reflex..sorry stupidmanwhosteppedonmyheelandapologised…it hurt la. Oh ya why they were running? NEL as usual, bung up again. This time the doors didnt open at China Town station.

Ok I have to work, grrrrr….haha BYE!

And god bless the POKE!

Steve Irwin and Cats

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Covering issues on death..A topic I don’t like to talk about but this time it’s an exception.

When I heard the news about Steve Irwin’s (croc hunter "CRIKEY MATE" guy) I was really shocked. I really sympathise with the family..2 young kids, it really isn’t easy coping with death at such a young age. Even as adults it’s hard. One moment he’s still on TV shouting CRIKEY and as fast as switching channels, he dies. And of all things ah, Stingray..They said it was rare for people to die from accidents with stingrays and they seldom attack unless one steps on it. The first thought that came to mind was, snake bite ah?…This is truly a freak accident. Maybe he escaped death too many times. He was a good "mate". He did alot for Aussies. Brought awareness to wildlife conservation and also promoted Australian Zoo. Good people die young is how the saying goes. So I guess he’s good. (dying at 44 is young) But maybe the dangling the baby part was abiiiit out of bounds…Now it’s time for him to educate the guys in heaven. Hopefully they don’t get annoyed with him pulling their spiritual tails and his constant "Crikey mate!would you look at the size of this spirit"

From me, "I like you Steve because you loved all living creatures. Any man capable of that is capable of compassion, a beautiful quality rarely found in many. So have a good time riding the spiritual wave."

Now on to cats. If you saw the home papers today some assholes have been killing them. Some were slit at the throat..This is really disgusting behaviour..If they say they’re dirty,ok then how ’bout your spitting in public?Your yucky snort flying off and hitting unfortunate objects? And those that burn paper on the draincovers(like fumagating mosquitoes) in the middle of walkways on seventh month when there are designated bins for them, how’s that less harmful then cats..Cats don’t let our smoke that causes humidity. Cats dont’ litter on purpose like us.On the other hand, we humans have that choice of putting away our yucky body fluids and trash into designated bins. So what makes us better? We took their habitat and they are now forced to live in this concrete jungle. And cats are so much cleaner, they too are embarrassed about their shit lying around.(although some humans are not, and walk off without flushing the damn bowl.) They have the decency to dig holes and then covering them back. So what’s the reason for this killing? They’re noisy? How ’bout those kids in the playground nearby screaming and crying? Or the seventh month stuff where people keep clanging drums and stuff and doing auctions till late at night? Humans are the superior race because of the brain. But obviously some are not using it for the good.

So I just want to know what’s this stupid reason for killing them. They won’t scratch unless you disturb them.(some cats are fiesty just like how some humans are vicious) My point isn’t, "ok so kill the people who do that too" But if we can tolerate such behaviour, why not the innocent who have no choice.

This sucks.

Culling was bad enough, now with people taking it into their own hands is sicker.(don’t know if there’s such a word but SICKER it is) Cull cats? Ok how bout putting a death sentence on people who spit and do yucky stuff in public that causes germs to spread?

This sucks!

Ok I’m back to work. I miss school and I remembered a lecturer who once told us what he said with glee to the year ones, "Goodmorning class, I’m here to stir shhHHITTT into your brains."  *class GASP*And he smiled.:)What’s there not to love.:)
