My home had a break-in last night. Which caught us totally unprepared. Chaotic.

Laptop, over-the-generations-jewelry, cell phone (which my sister left it at home unintentionally. And it’s brand new! It’s barely 1 month old, okay?), monthly expenses which my dad gave my mom (around RM1500), and those money I gave my mom and she never exchange them for RM, around SGD 1500 as well.

So in total the loss is about 10K in RM.

Most people who I told this incident to convince me that it’s fortunate as no one’s at home when intruder break in. And some told me life goes on with or without any ‘dui-ness’ feeling. It’s not like I feel like grumble or so about this misfortunate. But I just can’t bring myself to agree with the “life must go on” concept. To me it sounds the same as let the criminals continue with the crimes since people, the tax-payers, can only prevent, and pray hard that misfortunate won’t befall on them. Yes. Most of the citizens in JB town had already cease to pin their hope on the efficiency of police force. The expectation here is not so much as wanting to see the police at every corner. It is the action that they make that counts. I am thinking, you do know that that is where taxes go to don’t ya?

Break-in and snatch thieves are way too commonly seen nowadays in JB town. I hope some one pretty important and influential start doing something about it. And I hope it’s sooner rather than later.


Sidetalk: The reason why I’m pretty mad about this whole incident is that there is this Indian family who lives behind my house, who their home was intruded and robbed as well, just 2 days ago before us. It’s not like we didn’t lock our doors and windows before we went out. But those fuckers are just able to find their way in – like in this case, break the window and slowly cut down those decorating metal at the other side of the window. So much of having extra locks and latches at your doors huh? Why not a window-less house next time? Hmph.

The extra mile?

I watched "Shoot 2" (the repeated one on 12 midnight) just now. Despite the fact I do dislike Cai ShenJiang and Huang MingDe quite a lot nowadays. Then why? It’s because of the topic for this time round: Service industry.

This topic has been brought into discussion for N times already by medias – the papers, talk show etc. But my point? Singaporeans are basically rude bunch. Ok, we are not as bad as some other Asian countries. But we are nowhere near being polite and gracious either - which brings me to my real point. The service industry sucks because the people providing the lousy services are also the same rude customers receiving it. It amuses me to see our media and press trying so hard to segregate the two. Or some other time, the “Customer’s always right” attitude that customers hold just make the service person doesn’t feel like providing the best of his/her service.
They are just doing their JOB. Go to the extra miles? I guess it needs to be get started by educating the customers first?

Was doing G-banding just now and Dr Tan came in. Seeing me taking GLASS slides from the oven of 70 degree Celcius, she asked:

"Wah baking cookies ar?"

Me (try hard not to roll my eyes): -speechless-
(short talk: I don't think the temperature is high enough even to bake those edible cookies though)

Wonder why is the good mood Dr Tan's having today.

=p

I decided to skip work today when i woke up at 6.30am (which is 1 hour earlier than usual) today. =p

Don't think I'd be able to practice personal hygiene and safety with glove on my hand but a runny-nose that much more like a spoilt water tap that keeps running?

Better off slacking at home huh?
Orh okie correction- REST at home.

Happy resting (slacking). -smirk-

I keep having this ‘misconception’ whereby I thought today is Friday. Weird enough huh. Not that I long for weekend 'coz I’M ON DUTY FOR THIS COMING SATURDAY.

I watched “Lu Guang Sen Lin” on Channel U. That William is very hairy indeed.

Then it’s the talk show “Shoot-2”. For the first time I dislike Quan-YiFeng’s show. Or rather, I dislike the guests they have in that show.

For those who don’t know, my lab’s people listen to U-FM 100.3 EVERY DAY. It’s makes me feel very auntie. Damn.
And each morning, being sleepy and not in very good mood, I have to listen to the voice and the arguing of Cai-ShenJiang and others.
And if I’m doing G-banding, it’s only making my mood from ‘not very good’ to ‘very bad’.

As for today, I seriously think that I had more than enough of their view and thought on the morning on.. erm.
-Sorry I can’t recall what is their topic this morning at all- And night, worse. Have to see his and his partner’s faces somemore.

It’s not that I don’t respect elders. –a-hem- But c’mon la! Give me a break, couldn’t you?

It’s raining almost whole day today. Mood spoilt — especially if you are trapped inside office/lab.
I miss my bed already.

The biography of a smashed snail

Halalala~~ rainy day.. –yawn- I love it, always.
With my home on my back, I guess now is the best time to have a little stroll around. Wont’ have to see the always-scorching-hot sun. =) I’m just simply love it.

Sniff! Sniff the air! It’s fresh! It’s moist! The smell of rain is just so nice!
Maybe I should just go and find Ah-Huey at the next neighborhood. She might long to see me. =p

Crawl crawl crawl. Damn, I guess I’m panting already. Guess you guys seen a dog pants. But a snail?
I guess all is worth it when it comes to Ah-Huey.
Oh back up back up back up!!!

Eh! The thought of Ah-Huey makes you too high is it??? You are almost at the centre of the walkway! Beware of feet beware of feet!!

-trying hard to crawl towards side way-

Crawl crawl. Oops.. hoo escape once.. crawl crawl.. Thank God escaped another one.. Guess I’ll be quite safe soon..crawl crawl crawl..

Uh-huh..big (foot) shadow! Hey human I’m here I’m here can see me? Heyyyy---
-clarkkkk- Ouch... I.. I think my home… my home… cracked. Or still craking? Into pieces.

I think.. I think my blood’s leaking. It’s leaking…
I’m done for… I’m done for..
I think I saw Ah-Huey before I close my eyes.


In memory of the smashed snail I saw on my way back home.
*bore*

Amazing cycle

I was talking to my colleague SP about this scene in X-Man III, in which Jean (the so-called Grade 5 mutant) have power over almost all other mutants (including Magneto for some forces she possesses), Magneto have power over Wolverine, but, at the end of the day, Wolverine has power over Jean for he can self-healed.

So, at the end of the day, it’s a cycle! =) I like that thought.

Some professor said before no single virus can destroy everything on earth. Okay except it is genetically modified in a way that it becomes a biological weapon.

If there are people able to generate antibodies against Hepatitis B, SARS, etc, I believe there would be people able to generate immunity against H5N1 virus as well.

Every living creature has its own amazed way to carry on living. Don’t belittle that.
