Greetings from Perth

Hey guys,

I didn't know Citibank works on Sunday cos I received a call from them asking me about a debit card I applied a few months back at the Bukit Timah branch opposite Salvation Army.

FYI MR MAK,

1. Citibank is for the higher class and higher income so I don't think they have any debit card!

2. The bank opposite salvation army is Standard Chartered and not Citibank!!! You goon.

Ok, since I was fooled, I must be even stupider. But you know what, my first thought was that this conman is trying to con me for my account number and deep in my heart I was actually thinking "nah, you can't con me, you stupid conman."

Oh well..........................

Ok, stop reading in puzzleness. Mak called me on my HP on Sunday late afternoon. And yes, he tricked me, Blardy helll.

In a nutshell, he sent his regards to the gang and asked about you guys.

I told him everyone's good. Chay and Yirong are attached and his reaction was:

"HUH?! REALLY?! ARE THEY ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER??"

Hahaha, OMG, so funny.

Asked me the usual how they know each other kind of thing. So I told him what I know lah.

I told him about the massive turn out during my party. Our recent meet up to celebrate Lun and Delon's bday etc. Whatever that comes to my mind lah.

He said internet there is damn ex so he really has limited access. He borrowed his friend's access and wanted to blog but forgot our username and password and didn't want to waste his friend's money so didn't.

He said he just finished a SOLO - Something 2 days ago. [ok, chanhowe actually verified the solo-something but I forgot again. anyway, not important lah huh]

He said they are trying to get them back by 15 Dec but cos its winter now, the weather is quite bad, they don't get to fly so might be delayed.

He said he calls his gf everyday but calls home every week. [what a filial son! haha.]

He said everything's good there. He is alive and kicking.

He said his gf told him Jianwei commented on his friendster that he is buying a car and waiting for him to come back to drift together and ask me true anot. Haha. Jian you mean your lorry and his van drift together ah? HAHA.

I think thats about it lah. Thats all I can remember. He ended off with a "ok lah, I'm going to have dinner now. Send my regards to all of them."

The reason he called me was because he can only remember my number and Jianwei's old number off hand. But since he isnt sure if Jianwei's old number can still be used, he took the safer choice to call me instead. And probably he knows I am not someone who will go "wah lao, I must pay anot? hurry up say."

And I think calling from Perth is not ex. (Since he can call gf everyday) Cos my aunt in Perth calls my ah ma every other day just to talk one. So if you guys want, can subscribe a calling list with him and make him call you lah. haha.

Ok, so now we know everything's still kicking over there.


Alright, da gong gao cheng. I can go nurse my leaking nose now. Nights gangsters!

The Cat--String Theory

The wool-ball floated in mid air, supported by the hand of an unknown. From it, a single tiny thread of wool hangs and swings aimlessly. The cat purred…..it readied itself; every muscles cell in its body is ready as it launched itself into mid air. Its clawless paws fully out-stretch as it tried to snatch the wool thread that hangs before its eyes. The paws closed-in onto its target every split second…it was just 5 centimetres away when the thread suddenly moved an inch higher and beyond its grasp.

The cat landed on the other side with a three and a half somersault, it turned its body around and made another attempt for the thread. This time, its attempt was even worse than the first—it paws managed to close in to 2 cm within its target BUT it only landed with only one somersault. The cat tried again…it jumped but failed…..it jumped higher but still failed…!! The process repeated as the persistent cat hangs on knowing that victory would eventually come.

Then Mr. Unknown decided to let go of the wool ball. The cat leaped onto the ball in a flash as the ball dropped onto the floor, it purred in satisfaction. Then suddenly, the cat gave the ball a hard push and walked away. The ball rolled around as the cat walked off; not once did it even turned its head back…

Ever heard of the cat-string theory? It is actually a theory that describes how a person lost interest in the things he craved so much for almost instantly after getting it. If there is a thing that affects me more than the heat this instant, it is the cat –string theory. The freedom and the relief that I yearned and craved when I left Maybank only lasted few minutes. It is like a surge of joy that rushed through your body, energizing you for a few minutes then after that it is like---“ like that loh!!”

Sometime, it make me wondered why the cat-string theory is so powerful that it affects many people. Is it because I am a tiger that I fall prey to the theory easily…maybe one day, someone who study Chinese zodiac could answer…
