Cute and Cuddly guys, Cute and Cuddly
Dear TomHa,
Wow, whatever happened to the aftereffects of the previous post was really unforseen. I mean, it clearly wasn't meant for me to pour out my inner grievances but instead, a comforting sort of post for a friend who appeared to me to be feeling a little down due to a variety of reasons and I guess by comparing with someone (me) who supposedly have a fate worse than him, he should feel better. No matter, I enjoy the after effects though.. Hehe..Boy, I am so gloating...

Nothing really happened this week that is really worth blogging down, except that the family washing machine broke down in an angry roar that saw it flooding the kitchen and vomitting everything inside that we had thrown into it. It had been a rather loyal servant, serving our family for more than 10 years already and given that one of its young masters is so very cleaniness unconcious, and with all the mud and grime from the various games that he had engaged himself ever since it had been brought into the family, I guess it is only apt to say that it was a really hardy piece of sophisticated machinery. I guess, a little act of saying "Thank you" is in order and here it goes, Thank You!. Nonetheless, the washing machine breaking down had evoked a sense of guilt in me, especially in my purchase of the Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player. Although I bought this cute little beauty (complete with interesting features like FM transmitter, FM recorder, a mic recorder, a direct line-in recording feature that is completely unheard of in the mp3 industry and it is Mac compatible!) at a complete bargain of $199, a cool $100 shave off from its Sale price of $299, after camping overnight at the Creative warehouse to be the first 30 customers of the day, I would have contributed more to buy a better washing machine for the family had I not made the purchase. Darn, why do I need to listen to music on the road anyway, why did my MD break down and cost more than an mp3 player to repair anyway, why did the washing machine had to break down in the first place? Now, I am overridden with guilt. Sigh.. Why ain't I sounding sad at all.. guess I have to work on a little of my writing skills... Sigh...

Watched Madagascar yesterday. It was ermm.. rather nonsensical although I must stress that it had evoked me into rather deep thoughts about how Zoos, nature reserve and anything of the sort might have changed some animals' nature 180 degrees around. That animals would actually like to perform to the public and that the wild is in fact a nightmarish sort of place is really rather unthinkable. That animals would actually forget that there exists a sort of prey-predator relationship between canivores and herbivores to a point that they feel surprised at the fact that the carnivore is biting their butt? All this madcap movie sequence should have some symbolic meaning in it that I hope would make a lot of people think, I seriously hope...

Results came out, quite screwed, although I got my first A+ grade from an electrical engineering module, but the ensuing B- ensured that my CAP will fall faster than free fall (What am I talking about?).. Feeling rather down, guess it gives me more reason to quit canoeing...
