A familiar face in a foreignland

Have you thought what it would be like to work in a foreign land? I know there is a few of us who's in the exact same situation. As one, I can say, its not always a bed of roses. Sometimes it gets quite lonely and you just long to go back home to all those late nighters in the mamak...Sometimes you feel a little like a 2nd class citizen with the preconception from the locals of our 'kind'. The thing that I hate most is when they assume that I am from CHINA! ME! from CHINA! *fuming*....

But it is times like these that I really appreciate a visit by familiar faces... A few of you have visited me in the past years, the latest was Michele & Steven. It was a really good week! We had good fun.. ate a fair bit... and went touring a little too.. So here's a few of the pics we took...

Drivers, BEWARE

My last post, i mentioned that our environment isn't safe anymore. What i heard a moment ago confirmed that this statement is without a doubt, TRUE.

Someone i know just experienced a car hijack at BROAD DAYLIGHT!!The thieves intentionally 'accidentally' knocked her car and when she got out to check on the damage, she was punched & her car was driven away in a split second!!
Even as i speak, i can't help but wonder what if it was me?? We often think that bad things only happen to ppl we know. But in actual fact, we are at every risk of it at any time of the day.

What is this world coming to, u tell me. Is this what our society is made of? SHAMEFUL.

Meteor Showers..my first E-V-E-R!

I should be so lucky! I was out in the frontyard with manlok and the devils, running around... ok, manlok and the devils running around and me standing around. Suddenly this REALLY bright flash lighted up the sky with a sonic boom-like sound. I was suddenly washed with fear and panic, thinking, omigod, its an atomic bomb... or something like it!

We turned around and looked up and it was a really bright shooting star! Seriously it was REALLY bright!!!! Then a few minutes later, another one, less spectacular though. I suspected it was a meteor shower.. i quickly came in and did what every other internet savvy person would do... google it! haha.. and
TADAA!!! There it is: Orionid Meteor Shower. Today is the first day and I DONT believe it.. I caught the FIRST one!!!! It says that it will peak on Oct 21... I have put it down in my calendar! ;P Here is what it looked like:
