Looks like one of the cats has found a new hobby. This was the handy work of Miss Fudgie who’d do anything to keep herself amused. She’s unstoppable.

When things go kaput
Category: Random
It has been 2 weeks since the coffee-maker went kaput. Strange that, considering the coffee-maker is less than a year old. The damn thing just decided to stop dispensing coffee and has to be sent for repairs. We are still waiting for some news on its progress.
And today, the fridge decided to give out. It started making some strange noises yesterday and the apartment was informed accordingly. Figured it would have been fixed by the time we got home, but this was not the case. The things in the freezer have started to thaw and we have plenty of meat to boot if the fridge doesn’t work! We already have to start binning some of the food which were completely thawed out. Last thing we want is for the maggots to start breeding in the thawed meat. That would create such a mess, not to mention, requiring a huge effort on our part to clean it out. As a precaution, we had to knock on the neighbour’s door and they readily agreed to keep some of the meat we managed to salvage. I guess it’s a good reason to keep that neighbourly friendship.
No coffee-maker and no fridge. Things at home couldn’t have been more interesting. No fridge means no stocking up of groceries and no groceries means no cooking. That’s more of a bummer for me.

Info overload
Category: Rant and Thoughts
Having some information can be a good thing, but when there is just too much information thrown at you, it could be a curse. How does one begin to digest the amount of information all at one go within a short timeline and expected to work a miracle? Where does it end? Most importantly, where do you start? The harder question would be, with the vast amount of information given, what exactly do they want? It’s tough when they don’t know what they want and they don’t know what they don’t know and wants to know what they don’t know and expects some other people to figure out their problem.
