OLD syndrome





Recently have been having problem reading the fine prints. Perhaps i may have to resort to something similar like the cartoon on the left. Haha....... everytime asking for BIGGER LETTERS.

Well, beside problem reading fine print, below is also a scenarios of getting old...........

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the table that I collected from the letter box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and notice that it is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the post-box when I take out the rubbish anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque left. My extra cheques are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the fridge to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye - they need water.

I put the Coke on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realise that tonight when we watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote control, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the front room where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote control back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

- the car isn't washed

- the bills aren't paid

- there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the worktop

- the flowers don't have enough water

- there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book

- I can't find the remote control

- I can't find my glasses

- and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired. I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I've sent it to. Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Same Name?????

Visited DJ Violet's kitchen recipe blog yesterday after receiving a sms from someone whom i have always respected. Har....... guess wat i saw? Someone having exactly the same name as me left some very unpolite comments. Ridiculous........ use a sentence always spoken in Korean drama "难道我疯了吗?”how could i have use my own name to leave such a provocative comments. Want to invite trouble meh? To tell the truth, i have not been reading comments left in the blog for quite some time already till yesterday. Well, i still do visit this blog occasionally to try some recipe and visit some of the tag along members blog; but only to look at pictures. Honestly, i have not even been listening to the radio let alone leaving comments. Well, partly becos i'm busy at work and partly becos i don't want to give myself any chance to be KPO again. I just have too much of my own life to bother about, so I would not “吃饱了,趁着,没事找事。”(korean drama phase again).

I don't believe there's such a coincedence - really got someone having exactly the same name as me meh? No wonder i'm being suspected for finding quarrel. Even i myself found it so unbelieveable...............

Jewel Quest

Have been crazy over this game "JEWEL QUEST" for some time. There's about 5 x 10 stages all together. Didn't purchase the game, but some how or the other, managed to download the game for free unlimited trial (with advertisement in between stages of the game). This surely is a good game for passing time.




About 2 to 3 weeks ago, i managed to finished the final stage. And this is exactly how i feef after achieving the final stage - no glory or wealth but self satisfaction beyond measure till the itch to quest surface again.

Which TAROT card are you?

Came across this in other blogger's blog. Just for fun, i did it. And here's my result:


You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
