When Silver Bullet read it out to me, I couldn’t help but laugh my head off. Simply because, if you think about it, it sounded kinda childish. In my head, it goes something like this:
Army: ” I no friend you anymore.Hmmph! *pout*pout* I give you sedatives so you won’t bother me ahh!”
Reds: “I also no like you. You make me sleep early… You bully me, I revenge-ah. I put sand in your gas tank. Now you cannot go anymore. I hit you with sticks also. neh neh neh neh neh!!!”
Say those sentence out loud, and mimic with a tone of a kid who is itching for a fight. Seriously, these people are like kids in an adult’s body, and playing with toys that’ sonly meant for adults, while having a mindset of a 5 year old. Insane!

I’m in love…with my new fountain!
Isn’t it just a pretty little thing? There’s something about having a fountain at home. There’s something soothing about it, and apart from the fact that it looks nice as a display piece. Fengshui-wise, the energy of water is a typical symbol of wealth and prosperity, a good symbolical element to have in the house. Besides, a working fountain will also help to diffuse healthy ions into the air, which apparently is good for your health and well-being!
It is also about time to replace the old one which I had for almost 5 years already…and truth be told, the cats love it too.
Here’s Andy lapping it all up, as if her life depends on it. The other two..well, let’s say both Fudge and Donut just love moving the little stones around and making sure that they are
outside the area of where the stones should be. Typical cats. they just won’t leave those tings alone.

The whistle has been blown and the kick-off has started right about a couple of hours ago.
At about after lunch today, we got an email from HR that the office building will be closed for business at 5pm. They expected a major crack-down with live bullets, as they started closing the roads and urging the locals to stay away from the area. Given that I have a deadline due, I wasn’t too happy about the disruption and the delay it will cause to my work.
Actually, Silver Bullet started “harassing” me since he heard about it in the late morning today and had rushed home himself . When he told me about it, I was still blasé, thinking that it was one of those empty threats. Besides, none of my Thai colleagues were taking the warnings too seriously. But in the end, it seems like it was not the case. In the end, we were basically chased out of the of the office. Then it was my turn to chase my staff out and told them to go home.
As I walked out of the office, there were a lot of tension in the air. Traffic was in a gridlock as people try to get their asses out of the area. Soldiers started preparing their ammo right outside my office and as I walked on, I saw more of them. All of them armed.
To honest, I don’t really feel safe or comfortable being outside. Getting a taxi home was out of the question, considering the circumstances and I was glad that when I called Silver Bullet, he already made his way towards my office to come retrieve me!
What a day! I wonder how long we will be cooped up at home. Times like this, I wish we have access to Channel News Asia
