I've been sick again. I seriously don't know what's wrong with me. I mean, I know that I was down with fever and diarrhoea for a few days and before that I was down with gastric and vomiting and before that I was down with holes-in-the-gums after the wisdom teeth extraction. But what I don't understand is why I keep getting sick? I eat good, I eat vitamins, I exercise good, I sleep good. Maybe it's the weather. Everything wrong in the world can usually be blamed on the weather. Alright, that's settled then. We're all agreed that the weather is to blame. Not the Evil Empire of the Unwellness Promotion Board that keeps sending Agents of individual-targeted destruction to attack me every time I start recovering.
Relax! I was just blabbering. I'm not going mad or paranoid or anything. Shit! What was that Noise behind me? Please don't let it be one of them Agents again...

Ok, ok. The noises were really made by a man who is right now in my house dismantling the window grilles and fixing new ones. The management people have apparently decided that the old ones were getting too old and needed to be replaced. My home is getting something like a medical check-up. The other day, my parents got some people in to look at the plumbing and to check for termites. I hope my home is not sick like me. Everything going wrong inside.

Depressing health issues aside, I'm going to Aussieland on Wednesday! I'm not allowing my parents to tag along this time. I'll be playing with my sister and ah boy and exploring the place properly. Sadly, I don't have enough money to visit the two on the other side of Aussieland. Maybe next time when I have more money. As it is, I might just end up in the poorhouse with my spending habits. I need to start growing my money soon. You know all those adverts and financial people who tell you that it is possible to grow your money by investing in this and that? Anybody out there knows how to do that? I need to get in on it if I am to be able to afford my luxury properties around the world in a few years time.

Just read a nice joke. Haha stupid jokes are good

Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best kind of patient to
operate on.

The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating
table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."

The second surgeon responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians!
Everything inside them is colour coded."

The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best;
Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."

But the fourth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all
wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There are no guts,
no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and the ass
are interchangeable."

This is a picture of a performer in a Pringles-inspired costume during the National Day Parade. I won't believe anybody who tells me that Pringles didn't commision this costume specially to do some subliminal advertising.

Song change! A song for Family members scattered all over the world.

I think too that it has brought home to me a very important fact. That is that it is better to make less money by doing what you want to do and like doing rather than to make more by doing a job in which you have no real interest.

After all, the only thing you can do with money is to buy life. If the life you like costs you less why bother to earn more by doing what you dislike?

I don't usually post quotes from people but this is a very good one and not too cheesy. You can read the full story here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4132112.stm.

Steven has always seen money as one of the ultimate goals in life. Maybe it has to do with his upbringing. His hopes and adivce for me, adela and hubert have always been along the lines of, "earn a lot of money". I lean more towards Bob Berridge's philosophy when it comes to money though. I wonder if I will actually life up to it. Wait and see, wait and see.

The Fireworks were spectacular!! SO NICE AND GLOWY AND COLOURFUL!

Oh yah, there was on costume in the parade that looked like it was inspired by pringles potato chips. I'll try and find a photo to upload so you can all see what I mean.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!

I'm now watching the national day parade on television. Ah... the cool uniform groups, precision drills, 21 gun salute, presidential inspection of troupes. And of course, what is an NDP without cheesy songs and dances? Haha. cheesy cheesy cheesy! But so essential to the parade. The best part will be the fireworks which will be towards the end of the parade.

Once again, HAPPY NATIONAL DAY TO EVERYBODY! Especially the little Singaporean buggers studying overseas who are missing home right now.

I was sick for a long time but now I'm well again. Naasty business to do with painkillers, gastric, and lots and lots of puking. So nice to be well again.
There's this programme called Skpe that let's you make calls online. I just downloaded it but I can't find anybody to talk to. Can somebody download it and try it out with me for a cheap thrill? I know you can have voice conversations on MSN too but this one is supposed to be a lot better in terms of voice clarity.
