Guess what.. guess what??? Finally I've finished reading my small little story book.. *clenches fist and pumps it in the air like I've won the Olympic gold medal..* The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje.. After.. erm how long ah ? I couldn't remember.. It's a nice book.. with some good description of the war times.. people.. It's quite absorbing.. If not.. I wouldn't have finished reading it..

Any of you guys watched Schindler's List? It's a very very good movie.. Banned in Malaysia.. Managed to buy it tho.. kekeke.. Altho it's in Black and white.. It really is a film worth watching.. Erm.. however it's a bit cruel to see the shootings..  (lots of them).. a very touching movie... the emotions etc... bring me the tissues..

It's Sunday.. had a super cool and nice breakfast this morning.. On my way to Pudu bus station on an empty stomach.. Dropped by McDonald's.. Asked for nuggets *i think I have not eaten nuggets at McD before* but too bad the McD girl said it would only be available at 11... Alamak.. So I ordered a chocolate top ice-cream lor.. Funny lah.. no nuggets but got ice-cream wor..

Quite nice.. High in glucose.. Was able to walk a lot faster to Pudu bus station after gulping the ice-cream.. hehehe..  

Ice-cream for breakfast anyone? Good for health.. Need to cool down your engine so that it doesn't overheat especially when you're having a whole day filled with heavy workload... kekeke..

Erm.. no side effects... It really helps... Try it.. you'll see the difference!

UPDATE:

What's today's date ah? Old liao.. Forgive me.. Where is my specs? King Lee asked me just the other day.. I'm am down with dementia.. I think I've dropped my specs somewhere..

Sorry ah.. I only go online when I have access to the computer..

GOOD LUCK to all of you in your EOS!!!!!!

Life's getting slower for me.. Nothing much going on here now.. Pemanently jobless now.. Will wriggle around here and there though.. I wish there was a teleport device. Can help me save lots of time travelling in the bus, LRT, KTM etc..

How's life? Bet all of you are studying very very very hard now.. Anyway, do get enough rest before the big day..

Yeah.. just checked the newspaper, today is 8/7/04.. 

Hey Christabel.. This is especially for you.. Read carefully.. Pick your chemical.. You deserved it..Applause to Christabel!!! Bravo!!!! Thanks for helping me catch 'THE CULPRIT'.. hehehe

To all of you out there... If you want some chemicals you can actually get some from the lab.. Well.. that's provided you don't get caught and locked up in the tissue culture room.. Kekeke..
