Did I mention that I've started a silly little project of collecting junk mails in a yahoo email account. Yes, the account that promises 1Gb of storage space.

I'm totally fascinated with the question of how many junk mails 1 Gb can hold. Anyway, my that yahoo account keeps receiving junks. Donno why also...

Right now, I've accumulated abt 15 thousand pieces of junk mail. And they just took up 6% of 1Gb. Cool hor. Wonder why anyone needs 1Gb for email anyway.

Yada Yada Yada...

Since I so miraculously gained access to friendster today, I'll just write more. Kept getting "timeout error", so fed up. Maybe I should move my blog and myself to multiply.com. But then, the pple there is my another group of friends and...well...I don't feel like embarassing myself in front of them.

Actually I don't feel like embarassing myself in front of my colleagues too. But this blog started before my colleagues found me (in friendster, I mean. There is about 4 or 5 of them on my list now. Me darn popular siah...). So bo bian loh, they saw everything already. Too late.

Have pent up so many things I want to share with everyone...I don't know where to begin. I want to talk about this email I received about getting a ticket for commiting the offence of wasting food which supposedly happened in Germany.

I also want to talk about this guy who reminds me of that gigantic cartoon duckling...Can't remember the name...you know, the one that is so much bigger than his parents..and has his brain in his ass and nothing under his skull...still wears diapers and a baby bonnet... and flies...there's always flies buzzing around him. Is he from Warner Bros...or Universal Studio? Definitely not from Disney.

Not that this guy is stupid or what...I mean, he graduated from a university... You can't call a degree holder stupid, right?

I don't know... I look at him, I think of giant duckling in diapers, with pointy head. And he irritates the hell out of me simply by his presence...and I don't know why.

I think I'm obsessed with him. I'm acutely aware of him and my temper gets very short in his presence. Must be karma from previous life or something.

Oh, did I say I don't know where to begin? Seems I just did (begin, I mean).

So the story about being fined in Germany for wasting food have to wait until next time I log in successfully again. If that story is true, how dare anyone say Singapore is a "fine" city!

Darn....slow....

As I walked back to office after lunch, I saw a cat napping in the warm afternoon sun. How I wish I can join it in its nap...

The next morning, a cat was sleeping on a bus stop bench when the bus stop is choked full of people waiting for buses to transport them to wherever they have to be to earn their living.

It looked so sweet and peaceful, twitching its tail occasionally. Nobody at the bus stop thought to shoo it away.

And I thought, isn't this what life is all about, having enough to eat and a place to sleep? If everyone can 知足常乐, then the whole world will be a Garden of Eden, where people will eat just enough (then we don't need slimming centers) and sleep when they are tired.

We will be carefree as the cats I saw. As Gerald Durrell commented, for animals, there's only 3 kinds of things in the world. 1) Things to be eaten. 2) Things to run away from. And 3) Things to have sex with.

I used to think that it is such a fortunate thing that Eve induced Adam to commit the sin of eating from the Tree of Knowledge. Garden of Eden is such a boring place. All Adam and Eve could do there was to eat, sleep and have sex. I was grateful that I wasn't stuck in Eden; there are so many fun and exciting things to learn and experience in this world. In a way, this fun and excitement was given to us by the evil snake (the one who convinced Eve to commit the sin). So upon reflection, the snake was not that evil afterall.

But then recently, I do wish we can live a brainless boring life, the way Adam and Eve had lived. It must be a sign that I am seriously getting old.

Accidentally stumbled across a blog written by a friend/acquaintance/junior/whatever.

He asked "why do you feel guilty when you accidentally step on a snail and nothing when u kill a mosquito, step on an ant or slaughter a helpless chicken?"

I'm sure he has never slaughtered a chicken.

And I think I have fallen in love with his contemplation.
