Thought I could get some rest after a long week. Ended up cleaning the house instead, cause the house was getting dirty. Oh well, at least I got the balcony cleaned. Been wanting to do that for a while. Yawn...

Sleepy and tired...
Was trying very hard to finish reading my book yesterday night.. Grandfather Gottlieb's 'Letters to Sam'... but only managed 20 pages before I lay asleep with the lights still on. It gets so tiring these days that I can't even manage finishing a book anymore.. or perhaps, my ability to read is slowing down as age takes over. Oh well, I'll try to finish it tonight, but expect that I'd doze off again. Had a long day today. Good gracious it's the weekend already.
Grandmother story...
Ok, this is a very bad attempt at humor... but what the heck.. its my blog lei... and it makes me feel a bit better...
----------------------------------------------
There was a clan meetup... and the venerable oak tree told of a prophecy that 5 arrows will be shot at our clansmen. As we anticipated the arrows, one flew out of the sky and hit an elf. Just as I was counting my luck, another 4 came out of the sky and aimed directly at me. I tried running, but got hit by 4 arrows. As I got hit, I mumbled "*&^%&$%#", then got back to my den.
The next day, as I was contemplating on how to deal with the 4 arrows, which were still stuck at my behind, a fifth one appears and hits me from below. I jumped and yelped...and then tried to pull out the arrow, but to no success, as the arrow was lodged deep underneath. Cursing my luck, I tried to chip on the arrow bit by bit, hoping it would come out sooner or later.
The following day, in the wee hours of morning, when the birds just started chirping, the venerable oak tree appeared and was carrying a big silvermane bow with an arrow. This arrow was a bit different. According to the oak tree, this arrow will negate another arrow that was shot at me before I got shot by the 4 arrows, leaving the wound there, but making the previous arrow unaccounted for. "The previous arrow will no longer be considered as an arrow" said the venerable oak tree. And then pulls out the bow and aims it at my behind. Getting used to the pain and believeing it's fated, I turned over and accepted the next arrow.
Just when I thought that it was the end of the arrows being shot, considering that my behind was only that big and could only accomodate a certain number of arrows, another arrow appears out of nowhere and plunges into the depths of whatever is left of my behind.
Feeling numb, but still needing to tend to the 7 arrows, I went to see a witchdoctor. The witchdoctor told me that it is normal to be shot by 7 arrows and to accept that the arrows will come out eventually, but will be replenished shortly afterwords, as part of the clan ritual. His last words of wisdom, before I left his hut, was "either go to another clan....or...increase the size of your behind!".

Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo, Sakana No Ko...
Lyrics (Romaji):
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo sakana no ko
Aoi umi kara yatte kita
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo fukurannda
Manmaru onaka no onna no ko
Peta-peta pyon-pyon
Asitte iina kakechao
Migi-migi-bun-bun
Otetewa iina tunaijao
Anoko to haneru to une mo odoruyo
Paku-paku chu-gyu, paku-paku chu-gyu
Anoko ga daisuki
Makkakka no Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo sakana no ko
Gake no ue ni yatte kita
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo onna no ko
Manmaru onaka no genkina ko
Lyrics(English):
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo, it's a fish kid
It came from the blue ocean
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo,
She is a round bellied girl
Peta-peta pyon-pyon
How nice to have feet! I'll try to run!
Migi-migi-bun-bun
How nice to have hands! I'll try to hold hands with!
When I jump with her, my heart dances along
Paku-paku chu-gyu, paku-paku chu-gyu
I love her so much!
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo, it's a fish kid in red
It came from the blue ocean
Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo,
She is a round bellied girl
Contentment...
I guess there's no contentment in being human... when we have too much to do, we sulk about it, complaining about how much we have been assigned, how hard things are to get done, why things always come to us... and then, when we have everything taken away from us, we sulk again... wondering why nothing important is assigned to us, wondering why there is no job satisfaction, whether we are sidelined or if our self worth is being questioned.
I guess its not that we are unhappy or unsatisfied, only that humans tend to want to express what they feel... the current stresses, the work loads, the milestones... just to let off some of our expressions of feeling burdened with work.. It's hard to be content at a workplace and even harder to be content when everything seems to be either too much or too little...
Haha...see...I'm whining too...

Year of the Ox...
It's my sister's year!! And ironically, the Zodiac doesn't seem to be good for Dragons. Career, Money, Friendship. Everything seems bleak, but at least Dragons will have good health this year.Last year, the zodiac seemed to be good for everything except health. So, this year, I guess its time to capitalise on being healthier. I'm gonna take more vitamin c, exercise more regularly and cut down on my coffee intake.... (from 8 cups to 7 cups a day....wahahaha..) eh, for a start very good aredy la... Think I also should reduce some calories before cny, so that there is enough space in there to put in all the good food.... kekeke!! Anyone knows where to get a Pendant of the Taisui of 2009? The website say must put in wallet le.
So specific ah??
We were running through some British Standards for a code of practice we were reviewing. I was almost half asleep, when this one member passed a page of the BS code over. On one of the items of potential hazards, the code listed,
"booby traps" such as used syringes taped under banisters, on top of kitchen units and doors, etc. maliciously left to injure site personnel.
which got us wondering what actually happened over there.

Sleeping Sickness
"Sleeping sickness or human African trypanosomiasis is a parasitic disease of people and animals, caused by protozoa of species Trypanosoma brucei and transmitted by the tsetse fly. Besides confusion and reduced coordination, the sleep cycle is disturbed with bouts of fatigue punctuated with manic periods progressing to daytime slumber and nighttime insomnia." Source: WikiThere is a high possibility that I have it...Have been sleeping the whole day!!
