My One Cent Worth of Thoughts

*ring ring*

Me:Hey hey! I have picked up J’s birthday hamster!!It’s so Cuuuute!It is a he!!!

C: Oh really. (In a very bored tone)

Me: His birthday is on 18th August.

C:Wait. Let me take this down.

Me:Why are you taking it down? Didn’t know that you are so interested in hamsters…

C: Silence

Me:Oiy! Why are you taking down the hamster’s birthday?!

C:Hamster? You mean that’s not J’s birthday?

Me:Erm.. no.

C:Then say so lar!!!

*ring ring*

Me:Yo! I have your birthday present ready! Have to pass it to you!

(Mumble mumble. Meeting date + venue set.)

(Lugging a large cage with great difficulty)

J:Where’s my present? Why did you bring your hamster out? To show me?

Me: Hmmm… That’s not MY hamster.

J:Oh shit!

J is currently feeling very repentent for having hurt his hamster’s feelings with these harsh words. But his hamster (which is a he) is being subjected to more trauma, by being named… VIRGO! Ack!!! He is, at this very moment, trying very hard to dig a hole in the plastic tank, to tuck his head in.

Wednesday 24 September 2003 – Latest update!Virgo has been renamed as JJ. He is beginning to eat a little. There is a marked improvement in his appetite. Not only that, his nightmares have apparently ceased. He looks much happier and relieved.

SIgh.. THere goes my weekend. Less than 30 mins left til Mon! The most hated day of the week!

I had big plans for Sunday. The list went on and on…. I have only accomplished one miserable item!!

I have squandered my precious Sunday by playing flash games! Ack!! Can you believe it?! Me neither! Before I knew it, SUnday is GONE! The main culprit was Dynomite! If you have great faith in yourself, click on the link, by all means!

I am presently experiencing cramps in my right hand and fingers, having maintained the mouse position for the whole day. Hmm… Come to think of it, my thumb looks swollen! Arghghgh! There! I hear an offer (from my brother) for a hand massage. He is probably feeling the pangs of guilt for having introduced me to the website. Huh!

Halfway through a Matrix Report… Yawn!

Why is it that whenever I’m working, I would think of:

1. Sleeping

2. Blogging

3. Net Surfing

4. Watching TV

5. Eating Snacks (‘Working’ is very detrimental for Health and Figure!!)

6. Etc

Basically, anything BUT working?!

Very bad attitude. I would sack me if I were my boss. Ack!

Yep yep! Recently I have been dosed with the hamster madness. Instead of fixing my eyes on the goggle box, I have diverted my attention to the hamster forum. Stumbled across it recently (Ok ok, not so recent after all… I have been sadly lacking with the updating of my blog. BUT I am making up for it! See! Postings on consecutive days!! *gives myself a pat on the back*).

Wealth of information on hamsters in there and loads of helpful and fun people. Highly recommended! Duma, take note of this to refine your links taste-o-meter! Blah!!

Linked the image to the forum. Hope the forum master doesn’t mind.

My brain cells die at an exponential rate with each passing year… I have just realised (Yep! No excuse for this! After 5 whole months!) that I have forgotten to put this important news into my blog. I have got a new hamster!! Not very new actually… It’s already 6 months old (Taking into account, that hamsters have a general lifespan of 1.5-2 years!! He’s going through his quarter life crsis!!!). Lena gave him to me for my birthday! To replace Hammie (Oiy! Aren’t you proud that I named my last hamster after you?!) whom I have left behind in Germany.

Annd… His name is… (Ta da!!) PUDDING! His godmother (aka Lena Mama) has criticised this name, citing that it’s totally unoriginal… Acks! He is a Winter White Pudding (Name of his breed). And it is really coincidental that Mango Pudding is one of my (numerous) favourite desserts!! Yum yum!! But, little did I know, that this name would be his downfall….. The little hamster has evolved into a wobbly, orange pudding on little patter feet, living up to his namesake.

No amount of exercise nor dieting can alter his bottom heavy figure. I think Marie France or Expressions would do very well to come up with a Hamster Fats Reducing Programme. I am patiently waiting for this day to arrive, so that my little (or not so little) Pudding can recover his slim figure. Meanwhile, it’s back to good ole Hamster Ball!!

Duma sent me this link.

Mine costs a whopping 24,276 pounds (S$67,861). His only costs 19,343 pounds (S$53,929) – Very Cheap!!

Hee hee!

28th May 2003 3pm

First impression : Changi hospital operates like a micro-Singapore.

Being a programmed Singaporean, I was set in an auto-obedience mode. Without knowing what the heck was happening, I have already been dutifully shuttled in and out of a series of rooms and have subjected myself to various tests and cross-examinations. The lengthy intervals between them were spent aimlessly at teh corridor, with the rest of my equally unsuspecting fellow comrades.

Once in a while, a fully masked and geared up nurse would approach me, mumble an incoherent “Re..m.ve y’ear sp.ect..acurs”, wave a brightly-lit torch into my eyes, before shuffling off to one of the nameless doors, oblivious to my plight and condition.

“Can someone tell me what’s happening??!!!”

As I am writing this, I continue my ignorant wait, hoping to see some kind of light at the end of the dark tunnel. OOops, here comes another nurse armed with… YET another torchLIGHT!! Not quite the same “light” I have in mind. Forgive my weak pun, waiting in incomprehension shrivels up my creative cells.

YAWN!

My One Cent contribution to the Xmen mania surging through Singapore. I am sure with the release of the Xmen2 Movie, the prices of the comic books and figurines have been pushed up, higher than ever!

So, folks, Enter and Enjoy!

By the way, according to the test, I AM STORM!

Take the reviews on the characters with a pinch of salt! Ack!

Feeling very bloggable tonight.

After all the evil and vengeful thoughts I have had for the whole night, I have decided to attempt the Dante’s Inferno Test.

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale (duh.. some spelling error here. I think it should be “tail” though I might be wrong.) wraps around his body 5 times.

The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes.Your shade has been banished to… the 5th level of Hell

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Fifth Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 – Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Very Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Low
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Extreme
Level 6 – The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very High
Level 7 (Violent)	Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	High
Level 9 – Cocytus (Treacherous)	Moderate

Take the Dante’s Inferno Hell Test

Oh ho ho! It says here that I am wrathful and gloomy..!!! I love it! I love it!

I find that I am not very coherent when angered.
