A friend of mine is recently into Catepillars for some reason. Hope this doesnt freak her out.
The hickory horned devil is North Carolina's largest caterpillar, measuring almost 5" long when fully grown. Hickory horned devils may look ferocious with their "horns" and spines and eyespots but they are completely harmless. They feed on hickory, persimmon, sassafras, sourwood, sumac, sweetgum, sycamore, walnut, and other shade trees but are never numerous enough to warrant control. The adult is a large regal moth which lays its eggs during the summer. In late summer and early fall, the caterpillars burrow into the soil to pupate and overwinter. Most remain as pupae for 11 months although a few may take 23 months before developing into moths.

Gangster chants
When I saw this, I kinda regret not catching the Original Movie...
Anyhow, its admirable that the Director decided to give the "serious" chants a techno beat. PS: dont play this too loud

Tough Week
I am having a tough week. Well then again, probably most ppl ard me would say so too. Its coming to the end of the month and we all been sitting at our screen typing away our reports. Its madness to keep pushing one report after another.
I am kind of glad that yest my mini project finished 3 days ahead of time. This give me time to attend a course today which I wanted. But straight after the course, when I could have choose to go home or hang out in Orchard, I ended up back at work. (While one of my colleagues left to cut her hair, shhhh)
Hope everyone stay optimistic

Quit Smoking Ads
Done by Perfil BTL Santiago- Chile, an ambient media to prevent smoking. Fake cigarettes were placed in high-traffic streets in Chile, rolled with a PSA paper telling smokers: “It seems not only do you need a cigarette, you also need help.”

Ice Jacket
Place the bottle on the Base, slip on the Sleeve and close the three cam locks. Fill the assembly with warm water, plug, and place in freezer (any position will do). Remove frozen amalgamation from freezer, allow to stand 20 minutes; Run briefly under warm water, release the cam locks and remove the Sleeve in order to reveal your bottle encased in ice, featuring themes limited only by your imagination.
The Departed
Hmm, the wonderful script of the Infernal Affairs, along with the highly illustracted cast of Andy Lau and Tony Leung gets ripped off by Hollywood who thinks they can go one up.
So they got Martin Scorsese who met up once again with Leonardo DiCaprio (3rd time i think), along with Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and a whole lot of other big names to create The Departed.
I just hope this would be a different movie than the original

Just Jokes
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, I clocked you at 80 km's per hour, sir." The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating." Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?" The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did."
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Darn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?" The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine."
The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket." The wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving."
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP??" The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?" "Only when he's been drinking!"

In 5 years time
Last Sunday, I saw a bunch of ppl in blue polo roaming around my area. They were Worker's Party members.
I thought to myself, they might have gotten to the wrong place. After all, Toa Payoh/Bishan has never been contested.
Well then, I saw a paper placed near my door today. It from the WP.
Looks like I might be able to exercise my rights in 5 years time.

Pink Box
This photobook was captured by an American lady who after visiting Japan Infamous Red Light District was immediately captivated by the visuals. While the underlying component of the photo was still sexual, the visuals, creative themes and colours are more than enough to show the other side of the Industry.
I personally find that this is a fascinating book. Much different from what you would expect. You could see a preview of a couple of pages here
Blood donation again
My colleague and I gave blood at one of the nearest blood centers. There were nice and comfy sofa seats, aircondition, professional nurses (not those inexperiences ones on the mobile drive) and of course cable tv. It was showing White Chicks, which I had refused to watch because I thought it was silly. Yet I simply enjoy the show.
Anyway back to the blood thingy, I managed to finish my donation in 5 mins and waited for my colleague who took this time. *grumbles* In any case we were rewarded with Milo and Khong Guan Biscuits, oh and free parking for the car. To all those who visit NUH and din want to pay for the expensive parking, you know what to do now.
I kinda lost count and the times I have donated. This is my 20++ I believe. I think there is an award for 25. Guess thats next year!

Had to sit infront
We went out for lunch today. 6 of us squeeze into a car.
SINCE there was a lady among us, we offered her to take the front passenger seat.
She pointed out that it better if I took it, otherwise we cant squeeze at the back.
Now I am sad

Itchy toes
Due to the weather.... and perhaps some other factor, my toes have started to itch again. I had this problem since I was a kid and it never quite go away.
The worst part is that the skin will start to tear and crack all over. A disturbing sight which is sure to put you off dinner. This is largely why I go shoeless and walked around my cubicle in my socks. (Note to my colleagues: Please stop staring at my socks)
Years ago, I recall that the itchy toes were at their worst. I was about to make a trip to Australia to began my pilot course. The thought of wearing the rock hard boots made me dread it. I knew I simply could not scratch it even if I want to. Yet strangely 2 days after I arrived, the itch stopped and I forgotten about it. Amazingly within a week my skin heal itself and I had nice pinkish toes again. I guess its probably due to the cold and dry weather there.
Anyhow, I am quite irriated by the state of my toes. Probably should see a doctor soon.

Steve Irwin quotes
To the man who is a beloved father to his lovely daughter. To the man who risk his skin to bring entertainment value on discovery channel. To the man who enjoy the great outdoors and all living things. Thanks mate for all.
I leave you guys with quotes from Steve Irwin
Today we’re going to visit the world’s 10 most venomous snakes. Conveniently, they’re all located right here in Australia.
I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
Crikey, mate. You’re far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building.

This photo was passed to me for 2 weeks now. Been procrastinating over publishing it. We met over dinner weeks ago at Fisherman Village. Talk endless about our job, our girlfriends, our cars and our past. After that we retreated to Jerm's place for Liverpool vs Chelsea (Community Sheild). We are all Liverpool fans. And ya Liverpool won of course.
