Put Away That PSP.

I read this article, " Put away that PSP and pick up a book " last week on myPaper . My little opinion this is that to each its own . But to begin with, perhaps his observation is a lil' flawed. While it is true at times many people are indulged in their hand-held gaming devices, there are also times when I see many reading papers ( Today, myPaper , etc.) in the train. Some even tried reading when there isn't nuff room to stand! Of course, that will be another entry on its own. :p The fact is we are living in modern times where we are spoilt for choices of things to do during our journey between places. Do you remember the times seeing many people playing the brick game or Tamagotchi in the train? Many new gadgets fill our hands from time to time, but the pleasure of reading is here to stay. Personally I enjoy my PSP. There are times I rather read a fiction book and get hooked to the story. There are times when I prefer to just glance thru' the morning papers to

Today's horoscope reads, " Your friends are beautiful, but sometimes when they disagree with you, they make you crazy. Fortunately, when their perspectives are different from yours, you can usually avoid discussion about that topic. But not today. Even if it's a challenge to let it go, keep in mind that nothing good will come from direct conflict if no one is willing to change positions. " I guess its easy to come up with such advices, since it is well-known that Taurus are usually seen as stubborn in nature. I wish I had read it earlier to remind myself how others may perceive my actions. When actions are accepted, Taurus are seen as determined and hardworking. And when they are not, Taurus are seen as stubborn and difficult people. While some people may never understand our true intentions, perhaps it is better to avoid putting ourselves into positions that fulfill this prophecy. It does not matter we live to become what our horoscope's description of us, or the

Keys.

As I tried the keys to the various rooms, I realised that this IS our very own. Today we unlocked the very first step in which our family unit started to take shape!

Shop Shop Shop!

Nothing like spending an afternoon shopping with two of my very very good friends. -smiles- It was the first time I did a "crazy" thing of taking leave for the Great Singapore Sale. Like the typical guy, I was the first to complete my shopping - within the first few minutes - and never looked back. And like all typical women, the ladies only managed to get one item for themselves in the entire afternoon. I suspect it was due to the difference in variety. Most people are unable to notice the subtle differences in a rack of slacks. Navy blue? Black? Elephant? Thin lines, thick lines? No lines? But with women's clothing... Wohhhhh ... the colours, cuttings, styles, auntie-type, classy-type, young-girl-type, elegant-type, etc. In a way, it was good shopping with them. First, it prevented me from spending more than necessary. Secondly, it was a good form of exercise. Most of the time, I would involuntarily start to yawn. Thus, I had to actively participate in giving comments

Whinebag.

I must have been ranting, complaining, and whining too much. So much that I have headache and feel myself surrounded by smoke. Like this episode from xxxHoLic ... Ha ha ha ... better watch my mouth.
