Wah kaoz... Woke up to the sound of the lion-dance troupe this morning! So loud!!! The sound came from EVERYWHERE!
I looked out of my window to see the dance troupe coz I thot the shops across the streets invited them... then it sounded nearer. So I tried to spot them among the masinette (duno how to spell la). Aye! dun have again! By then I was quite awake, so I walked into the living room.. Wah! Even louder! And when I looked outside, WAH!
No, the dance troupe was performing 8 storeys in mid-air...
I just saw so many people looking out their windows to THAT direction. So I ran to my balcony and looked! Wah Biang!!! This one HDB unit actually invited their dance troupe to their house at 9 freakin am!!!
And I could feel this aura in the air- everyone were cursing at them... I took some pictures of the surrounding blks. Because the arrangement of the blks around here forms a rectangular space foe the carpark, the echo reverberated through the neighbourhood, BOUNCING OFF all the walls in in everyone's flat!
Will try to update lata about Chinese New Year... What a bloody hectic 4-day break...

Toxic frenz 0.o
I LURVE this: Quoted from Pat's blog. stargalpat.blogspot.com
*Always pourin wet blanket at u? Or u jus cant seem to be happy with her/him/them?
#The Narcissist
"I" is the first word of every sentence she utters. She goes on and on abt the cute guy she met in the pub last night, how rude the bouncer was to her, etc.. Zzzzzz.. Whole conversation is abt her.. N when it's ur time to speak, its' abt whether u tink she shud call that cute guy -_- n how she shud deal with the bouncer.
-Why is she like tt?
She's just frightened n insecure. She may not be tryin to be selfish (or even be aware that she is). She just behaves like tt bcos she lacks self-esteem.
-Wat u can do?
Giv her a chance to listen to u instead.
#The Underminer
She has so little self-esteem that the only way to boost it is to put others down. She loves to belittle n ridicule ppl n if she does give a compliment, it is usually of a backhanded nature. Instead of complimentin how great the jeans make u look, she says, "Oh! it hides ur chunky thighs really well!" and that leaves u wonderin whether ur thighs really are that chunky.
-Why is she like tt?
Insecure n self-loathin. She critises u bcos u hav sth she wants n by puttin u down, she's tryin to convince herself she is better oof without what u hav. This person may also have had experiences of being disappointed or betrayed by others (even durin childhood), which leads her to be extremely cynical and critical of others.
-Wat u ca do?
Try to get her to see the good sides off ppl.
#The Snob
Thinks she is superior to everyone else when deep down, she's really strugglin with insecurity. She has to name-drop and hang out at the chicest club in order to feel any sense of self-worth. Condescendin and tends to talk down to ppl.
-Why is she like tt?
Insecure. Has decided to focus on the material or external aspects of her personality. Instead of developin inner self, she has decided that the only beauty that matters is external beauty.
-Wat u can do?
Get her to understand tt ppl can be beautiful both internally n externally n tt internal values n characters are more important than material or external assets.
#The bean spiller
Cant keepa secret to save her life. Only reason why she loves to gossip is bcos it makes her feel important n powerful when frens flock to her for latest news. Thinks bringin u privileged info wii endear her to u. Enjoys diggin up ppl's dirt, smart enought to never divulge anything she doesnt want ppl to kow abt.
-Why is she like tt?
Lacks control power in her life so she feels better if she is able to wield influence over others. May hav been neglected as a child n experienced great difficulties overcomin fear of bein abandoned. Thus she builds up her ego by findin out important n intimate details abt others n uses tis info to control her relationship with others.
-wat u can do?
Subtly let her know u remain frens with her not bcos of the power or influence she has over ppl but cos u actualli like her for the person she is.
#The woe-is-me mate
Thinks the world is against her n perpetually wallows in self-pity. Her energy drains u mentally when she complains about how miserable life is. She wants u to sympathise with her but she doesnt heed ur advice. In fact, she rarely takes action to change the things that are makin her unhappy. Accordin to her, nothing ever goes right for her n it's always everybody else's fault, never her own. She always responds to ur advice with a "yeah.. but.." n go on explainin why her problems wont submit to ur solutions. (sounds like somebody aye.. -_-)
-Why is she like tt?
Insecure. Uses pessimism to guard herself against bad news-just so she can say 'i told u so' if sth bad happens. tis person forgets to celebrate life's little pleasures n daily joys.
-Wat can u do?
Nothing. :)
Aye.. saw tis in Female's magazine.. YEah.. Interestin? :D *
I wanna add something in...
Which one are YOU?
Ahhahaha!~

Full of 'sense
Lesson Number One
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do
nothing all day long?"
The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
So, the Rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson Number Two
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the
turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch
of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the
tree. Soon, he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of
the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Number Three
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow
dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
The morals of this story are:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut
