BALI (23rd-26th Nov 2009)

Great place. Amazing time. Lovely company. =)

Believe it... Shit happens...

The More-Than-Often true,
Law of Murphy

Universal
Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
Whatever can't go wrong, will go wrong.
Trying to make things better only makes things worse.
Any attempt to do nothing, so nothing can go wrong, will go wrong.
The truth is rarely pure, and never simple.

@ Home
A heavy, ugly, useless thing has sat in the dark corner of a cabinet for 20 years. The day after you throw it away, you need it urgently.

On Self
As soon as you mention something; if it's good it goes away, if it's bad it happens.
When you search for something, you go back to the same place again and again.
You wake up two minutes before the alarm goes off.
You remember the face, but the name evades you.
Bad luck comes in threes.

On Society
If you say the word 'sex', the room goes very quiet.
A confidential whisper is heard better than a loud shout.
Nice guys finish last.

At Work
Any situation demanding your undivided attention occurs simultaneously with a compelling distraction.
A committee is a group of people who can't decide anything on their own, but together can decide that nothing can be done.
If a problem causes many meetings, the meetings eventually become more important than the problem.
Any tool, when dropped, will roll into the least accessible corner of the room.
On the way to the corner, any dropped tool will first strike your toes.

Out & About
Going there takes longer than getting back.
Traffic lights are always red when you're in a hurry.
Your queue always goes slowest.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Whatever you buy, the day after the guarantee runs out, it snaps.
Everything looks useful until you buy it.

From the book "Why the toast always lands butter side down" by Richard Robinson.

Confessions of a Coffeeholic

Hello, I am Mr B. And I am a Coffeeholic.

My latest movie since dunno when. With my mates Jelli the Beanie and Sara the "Docile" lady. A somehow funny movie about a girl, Becky Bloomwood, who has a major shopping problem (almost as bad as my coffee problem lol).

For people out there who has similar problems e.g. CABaholic (U-know-who haha) should check out this movie. It sorta tells us in a subtle way that we should do stuff in moderation and not overdo. I feel.

It started out with a simple dinner...
Wanton noodles for dinner. Rochor tau huay for dessert (thumbs up for pretty girl along the road). Arcade gaming for starters. 8 Feet Pool for follow-up. KTV Marathon for finale! What a nite! LOL

The Ultimate Key to Success: E=MC2 !

The BIG Dilemma!

THE FOOD FIGHT!
Erm basically this is the sacred list:
Prawns, crabs, mushrooms, lobsters, lady fingers, cucumber, sushi, salmon, raw food, cold food, century egg, watermelon, honeydew, sugarcane, clams, abalone, shellfish, brinjal, steamed food, chili sauce, fish roe etc. etc.
Of food that I don't eat.
