Angry outbursts are an indication of your disability to keep your head.
A quick tongue shows how STUPID you are. (rephrased from Proverbs.) i try to keep silent as much as i can :P

trying to keep my cool for 7 more days!

:: Stop Climate Change ::

(please click on the link on this entry title, thanks! Right click, select Open in new tab/window if you plan to read on first) This brochure is about Energy Efficient Singapore. I never knew Singapore has been that active in reducing climate change! =) Examples are the new National Library and The Environment Building, which won top ASEAN awards for energy efficient buildings, and incentives for architects and developers to design buildings in a way to save millions in terms of energy usage each year. The SingPost building at Paya Lebar thus saved $1.2m per year.

Just read about carbon footprint and carbon offsetting, bet u never heard of these terms before leh. It means: one decides that they don't want to be responsible for accelerating climate change, and they've already made efforts to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, so they decide to pay someone else to further reduce their net emissions by planting trees or by taking up low-carbon technologies.

Hope to do more for the earth.. Got a wake up call from reading Asian Geographic magazine.

:: Daniel Wu's blog ::

I'm a fan!

I'm not sure if you guys can access the blog without having to register an account.. but seems like Fiona Xie blogs there too.

Anyway, I'm very impressed by his entries.. He gets to go places and he's very recognised in the Entertainment industry, from the Chinese to American, well that's already big isn't it. He'd share photos of his trips, food, thoughts and even family, really interesting.

:: April Fool's Day ::

7 years ago I organised an April Fool's party for my Sec 1 class.. It was at my house back in Clementi, and I had water bombs prepared and some Trick Blood (u remember those packets of funny stuff like a fake finger with a nail "pierced" through it?). Lemme try to recall who turned up: Weiting, Shermaine, Shuping, Sebastian, Yong Teck... =)

Then we went over to Ginza Plaza in the evening for dinner at Mac's. I played an April Fool's prank on a stranger.. I went up to some malay boy and asked him why he took my money.

After that we went to play in the arcade. We were playing Daytona when that malay boy came in and disturbed me while i was playing.. After that game i realised my wallet, placed in front of me, was gone! I kept cursing that boy. When I went home, I told my dad.. he asked me what i had in my wallet, i told him got Cashcard, ATM cards, phonecard, bus pass, and 10¢. When he heard me say "cashcard", he got so angry he slapped me!!!

Anyway after a while I got a call from the information counter in Ginza Plaza, they told me that my wallet was found. Great!

The money, cashcard etc were gone but my ATM cards and bus pass were intact.

That was really an awful April Fool's Day. I've had a phobia of celebrating it since then.

I still dun understand why my dad reacted so strongly regarding the loss of my cash card.. as if there were a lot of money in it. i think at most there was $5? To date he must have lost more than 50 cashcards already lah! Always leave it in his motorbike's IU and never check... i stopped carrying cashcards since i graduated from poly - i had to use it for library services. They are sooo hardly used.


Today I got a call from a foreign lady - at first I thought it was a client that my indian colleague couldn't handle. Then this lady asked me what bus she could take from her place in Tanjong Rhu to Tanglin Mall. I can't really understand her through her weird accent - can't tell where she was from. So i told her to check out www.transitlink.com. haha..

Happy April Fool's Day!
