The Rat
Well, if you are thinking of a vermin infestion, you must be way off. But then it does have little reference. Happy Chinese New Year. It's the year of the Rat.
This year, it's like 4 days of holiday for me since that it was a long weekend. But then, at my humble age, collecting angbaos is like no longer an interest or something to anticipate for me. Something good came out of it though. My house had a coat of paint. Lavender...a colour i like. The main door had a coat of pink to contemplate with the lavender walls which I do feel a kinda gay. No choice...the lady insisted. Then I had a new sheet of parapet on the floor so now it seems you are walking on wooden planks. A combo of zen and nature. LOL.
A look at Friendster made me think about a few things. Why is there a need to drink in order to socialize? Do we really have to flirt every time at a bar? Is there a need to get wasted in order to get free rides home? Sometimes I don't get their thinking. Although it seems like they enjoy the company but are friends just for drinking only?
A Singapore icon passed away. A dream that I had once as a kid vanished completely. Yup, Ah Meng the orang utan passed away with a ripe old age of 48 years leaving behind her 4 children and 6 grandchildren. In the past when I was at the zoo, I would always try to see if I can spot her or get a chance to take a picture with her. Now, it's all history. I only knew about her story till I saw the information on the forums. She survived being sold as a prize and managed to create a story of her own legacy. She will be missed by all humans and animals in Singapore.
May you rise in peace, grandma.
