Dream

Had a short nap just now at 9.30pm. Yeah, a nap at night is ridiculous, but this is not the topic for this entry.

Whenever I have naps, no matter at night or in the afternoon, I tend to have weird/creepy/terrifying dreams. ALWAYS. Anyone experiences the same thing?

So this time, I dreamt about a very spacious, dark underground area, constructed with metal floorings and metal walls complete with huge metal bolts. It is the 34896221th time I dreamt about spacious and dark underground areas, but with metal floorings? Its the first.

I just find it weird that my dark spaces always looks endless. Most people would have dreamt about cimmerian claustrophobic spaces, no?

To makes things worse, there is a video camera in my dream. It is how "Fatal Frame" in a technologically advanced era should be like.

*Shivers*

Thank goodness I woke up early enough, or I may encounter some technologically advanced ghost.

Do you guys know, that even though we often criticize the stupidity of those characters in those horror films, somehow we ended up doing the same thing?

Like, going to check out weird noises despite knowing the fact that there is something, and you should just give it a crap and run.

I did that in my dream. Wandering around and checking out stuffs. Fuck. Stupidity is infectious. Look at what you guys had done, tsk.

Typing this in the dead of the night is making me uneasy. Why did I even go and recall that dream in the first place? Oya, stupidity is infectious. I forgot. It seems forgetfulness is infectious too. Must have caught it from you people.

If you guys happened to read this at 3am, do not blame me if your imagination runs wild. It is not my fault if you start to imagine something may attack you from behind. *Wry grins*

Windows 7, your launch is too late.

It's too late, I got a mac.

LOL.

Hopenhagen

The December 2009 Copenhagen Climate talks is not giving much hope. Every single Climate meeting I read previously on the news had never managed to make significant progress.

Even though it sounds and looks near impossible, I hope they will manage a new deal to replace the Kyoto Protocol during the Copenhagen Climate talk.

So what if they say that the ozone hole has shrunk? The ice keeps melting, the sea levels keep rising. And despite certain believes that the temperature is dropping, but other studies shows temperature are not dropping at all.

Anyway, this whole climate thing is really a huge thing this year. Ministers from the Maldives held a meeting under the sea to send a message on the climate threats. People from all over the world took part in events and rallies named 350. 350 parts per million increasingly being seen as the safe limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You can sense the urgency all over the news on the need to reach a deal at the Copenhagen Summit.

It is the last chance to determine the fate of our planet.

So please guys, do try to play a part. Make your voices heard at Hopenhagen. Even though it seems near impossible, but I do not want the 2012 movie to re-enact in real life.

I do my part by not using air-con, (not that I have got an air conditioner anyway.) I try to save electricity in as many ways as I could so as to reduce carbon emission. I recycle. I eat less.

Ok, the last one don't really help.

But the world is in a really dire state right now. Even oil is predicted to run out faster than previously thought. The last time they said the current oil reserves could sustain for around another 50years. Now? I am thinking perhaps not even 20-30 years.

Realise how grave is the situation now?

--------------------------

Despite all the negativity nowadays, I found a piece of happy news.

Genetically modified Natural Blue Roses.

My wish for natural blue roses came true.

Let's not go to the topic on the price of EACH stalk yeah? Your eyeballs may pop out.


I will be happy enough if I am to receive just one stalk. =)

Bunny

These bunny ears are the next rage.

Seen at Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter show.



Other than feathered head accessories, I want a pair of bunny ears to add to my collection too!

Worse still, I still have not get my hands on a pair of Over the knees boots. =(

PS: Shortly after Chanel, now a Gucci film is announced! Is Burberry going to be next? *Hopeful*

My life

Anxiously awaiting for the release of Alan's new album, "My life". She is still make of win.

Anyway, quoted from Straits Times

She speak 5 languages

SINGAPORE - Ms Veronique Ah Sen speaks French, English, Cantonese, Hakka and Mandarin. Her linguistics skills will come in handy as an information officer at one of the booths at the Apec summit.

Yes yes, they will most certainly be useful if the Minister of Hakka and Canton Province drop by!

I think Straits Times do not have much news to report nowadays. APEC conquered half of the paper I bought last Sunday, with a big picture of Mr. Obama and our Mr Lee on the front page. This APEC event is so big that police officers in lime green vests are ALL over the MRTs and scattered outside on the roads. (Not surprising. And it is a good thing!)

(Note: The Canadian Prime Minister looks very cute in the pictures. Lol)

Anyway, I recommend you people to read news from other countries, because if you only read Straits Times, someday you will get brainwashed.

You gain a different perspective about an event if you check out BBC or The NY Times.

I find it rather amusing that Straits Times reports quite a lot of things that puts us in a very good light, while BBC gives a hoot about it. It is very understandable though. I am just sort of pondering about how local newspapers can affect the opinions of the citizens.

Back to the lady who can speak "five" languages. Singapores University's Professor Seah can speak 10 languages. Beat that.

If dialects are considered languages, most Singaporeans are not just bilingual, but multilingual already, being able to speak at least 3 languages.

Tsk tsk.

I think we should learn Spanish. With English, Chinese and Spanish, the 3 most common languages on hand, we are able to roam half the world freely already without any language barriers.

Unnecessary Knowledge:

A snail can sleep for 3 years. (Beat that, Cherlyn.)

On average, American's favourite smell is Banana. (I do not know how to view this piece of information.)

Shakespeare invented the word "assassination" and "bump" (Cool!)

The Swiss flag is square. ( Do you know that flags all are of different sizes? When I was young I thought flags are of the standard size!)

The ZIP in Zip code stands for Zone Improvement Plan. (Improvement? Where?)

Los Angele's full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula. (Awfully long.)

Singapore is the only country with one train station. (True, we have no need for trains anyway.)

Hitler was claustrophobic. (Many famous people have a surprising side.)

Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery then the celery has in it. (Eat more celery if you want to go on a diet.)

All Polar bears are left handed. (Who is the one who made a Polar Bear write to find this out?)

The unit "Light year" is 5,868,696,000,000 miles

Fucktards

Edit: Lx asked me if she lived in South or South-west Brisbane when she is the one who is fucking living there right now. Should I laugh at her?

Edit: Just have to add this line.

When I'm old and retired, I will go to France. And while I'm there, I will go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and spit. Just to see ho much time it takes to get to the bottom.And I get bonus points if I hit a Frenchie."

Edit: Have to add this again.

After reading a previous MLIH about a book on international etiquette, I decided to ask a friend of mine who lived just about everywhere in Europe whether or not it was true. She replied that yes, Germans really are that time conscious, and proceeded to give more examples. Like that when Italians and Spaniards say "Meet at 6:00," they really mean "Meet at 7:30," whereas Germans mean "Meet at 5:45."

Cherlyn must be an Italian in her previous life, while Ying Ying a German.

-------------------------

Sorry guys, I can't help it but to start another ranting post. Inconsiderate faggots are always around. A bunch of losers who do not understand the difference between left and right.

Which part of "Please stand on the left side of the escalator." do those retards don't frigging understand?

Do they even know how much planning I do when I take public transport!? With a MRT Station like Bedok, where there are 3 escalators to take before I reach the platform, one needs accurate timing and strategies! Especially when there is only 3 damn minutes left before the next train!

Alarmed, I start my rush. 3minutes is barely enough for me to climb the 3 escalators and top up my fare card.

Escalator 1:
Topping my list of inconsiderate commuters are OLD HAGS. OLD HAGS do not understand what is the left side of the escalator, and takes great joy in hindering my hurried rush to underground. OLD HAGS simply ignore/pretend not to notice me when I said "Excuse me." What rude fags! Even with me breathing down their necks, literally, they seem oblivious to it.

I swear my blood pressure went up by many notches.

Escalator 2:
God decided that it will be funny to try infuriating me. This time, the people who blocked me are those who top second on my list, bloody couples who absolutely must stand SIDE BY SIDE on the escalator.

Once again, I was ignored despite saying "Excuse me". I propose to the MOH that escalator blockers must go for a compulsory ear checkup.

I stood very close behind, and mustered up my deadliest glare,hoping it will send waves of doom down their spine. Alas, it seems to have no effect on retards.

I got increasingly impatient. My blood is boiling at 100 degree Celsius and I swear my heart is going to die on me. But I am very sure the couple will still be caught up in their own frigging world even if I died right behind them.

I wish there is a law to ban couples from using escalators.

After what seemed like centuries, I reached the top and I made a mad rush to the Top-up machine, and once done, I make another mad rush to the final escalator to the platform.

Escalator 3:
Dear God, it really isn't funny at all to make the same couple stand in front of me again on the escalator. The screen indicated the train has arrived and I only have got at most 7 seconds now. But no, the couple's still stuck in their own fucking world, refusing to adhere to the rule of "STAND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ESCALATOR".

I give up.

I hear the familiar beep of the MRT closing its doors. It took all of my control not to lash out profanities at the STUPID, RETARDED, OBLIVIOUS PAIR OF FUCKUP COUPLE. PREPOSTEROUS! AND NOW I FUCKING GOT TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 5 BLOODY MINUTES, ALL BECAUSE OF THE OLD HAG AND COUPLE BLOCKING MY WAY.

I swear, the next time anyone of you with your boyfriend occupy both lanes of the escalator, I will fucking slap both of you.

People are fined for eating and drinking on MRTs, they should be fined for BLOCKING THE WAY ON THE ESCALATOR TOO!

KNNBCCB!

YAY! It is up! God, I sound and look frigging stupid. I showcased an example of the worst possible English accent. GODAWFUL!

Venice's Funeral
Those who read the article on Disappearing Venice in August's National Geographic will know Venice is facing a terrible crisis right now. Yes, it is sinking, and it is always flooded. But it what is causing the greatest damage is a different type of flood.

Floods of tourists.

It's gotten so bad that people are holding a funeral for Venice. Venice is dying.

There's also one article in National Geographic on Somalia, which moved me to tears. More elaboration next time.

Singapore's Pandas
I am not very fond of Pandas, but I just thought I will share it. We are going to get Pandas in 2012 from China when the new River Safari is completed. Pandas are cute till they open their mouth and reveal those sharp teeth.

I did not know Singapore had planned a River Safari. It seems a day and a night zoo are not enough.

----------------------
Not sure if I had shared this before, but it is still freaking funny after reading it for the second time.

Satire: Americans annoyed by all these "International Shit" on the Internet

Quoted from the article:
Jesus, no wonder those guys lost the war and had to give Hong Kong back to Canada.

Hong Kong's Canadian, I didn't know that. Lol.

A map of Stockholm's Metro. This map shows the Swedish words being literally translated into English. Hilarious! My favourite stations:

Awful Village Hospital
Big Bog
Forest Cemetary.


I wish we have interesting station names like that too, like "The Sakura Path" or "Victorian Prudes" or "Waterfront Walk".
