song in my head
For the past few weeks, there was this sound in my head. Ermm ok not that kind of sound that goes "murder inky" but close.
I have been trying to figure out the title for this song but all i can mumble is the chorus that goes "I love you" x3. So Inky wipe out his precious pda phone and show me how to google for it.
Impress. very impress
didgeridoo reduced snoring
Reuters, LONDON: Researchers have discovered that playing the didgeridoo (an ancient wind instrument of the Australian Aborigines) reduces snoring and daytime sleepiness for those with obstructive sleep apnea. The condition occurs when the airway is obstructed during sleep, and results in the sufferer gasping for breath, snoring loudly, snorting and constantly waking up. It carries an increased risk of stroke, heart attacks and high blood pressure.

story from the tank 2
Having gotten 7 new prawns lately, I eagerly placed them in my tank. Its then I realised that they aint the same species as my resident prawn and kinda gave him a hard time.
2 days later, I found the empty shell of my resident prawn with him nowhere in sight. I guess my babies have once again cold murder him. I shed a tear for him and decided that I need to get bigger prawns from now on.
As for the remaining 7 prawns, I gave away 1 and as of today only 2 were seen around. Seem to me the rest got eaten once more. I swear I feed my fishie suffiently. But I got a good feeling they are bored enough to bite anyone who appears to be naked to them. *sob

story from the tank
I have so many fish stories... that i decided to share with you guys.
For a while now, I have notice that 1 out of 8 of my babies were slightly different. He is a whole lot slimmer and has more yellowish fins as compare to the rest. Its then I realise He is a He while the rest are ladies. You might be thinking what a lucky guy he is. But the truth is fish mate differently from humans.
Oh and he is such a terror. He marked out a space at the bottom of the tank as his own. Any of the ladies who came nearby would be immediately chase away. Very dominating. the rest of the girls would just crowd around the top corner of the tank to get my attention. I guess they are probably thinking, if I look hungry enough BLM would feed me.
BTW there is no moral to this story

snails and the holiday spirit
Just to let you know, I was real busy in the morning. Finishing up 2 reports and making calls and such.
Then my boss left and all hell broke loose. We went to vivo for lunch. We din have a long lunch cos we wanted to spend the time shopping. And I got a new watch.
Anyway, after we came back 2 hrs later we were all lost with this lack of management. I spend the time catching snails and counted 14 little slimeballs in my cup.
Too bad I have to get out of office tomorrow.

Pic from my trip
After 3 trips to the same location.... I brought to you silly pic taken with aileen (my phone)
A trip to the beach on a sunday when the weather was sunny.
It was only sunny for 2 days out of the 15 days we were there.
We had to rent 2 cars for our trip this time. Yes one is a BMW and the other is an Audi. Ermm... we needed the space.
The is the hotel we been staying. Its only 2 stars but the guys who run it did an excellent job with their services and smiles. And its only run by 3 persons.
A typical French meal last 2.5 hours. We normally ordered an entree, main and dessert but the restaurant has a habit of inserting appetizer, fancy side dishes and delightful pastries. Oh and I was in a region famous for Duck. Not just the meat.
This is a view from my window. I stayed on the 2nd floor and cant see much further then the shop roof next to us. But hey, I thought its a nice pic still.
We did make a trip to Paris after the work was done. Having only hours of time on our side, we could only shop. and yes ladies, the bottom left pic is the giant LV store. 3 levels of LV stuffs.
On another rare day we had good sunlight, we managed to capture the sun setting.
