Irony that is thought provoking.

After seeing this image on the newspaper or magazine and the short description about it made me think about the huge irony behind.

It was said that the photographer after taking this photo left in a hurry, without checking if the child manages to reach the feeding station 100m away.
He won a prize with this photo, yet 4 months after taking this photo, he committed suicide from depression.

Come to think about it, this child took so much effort trying to crawl to the camp, even with the vulture behind thinking of consuming her, never did she just laid there and give up. She just want to live so badly, and the feeding station is like her only hope. The photographer, in contrast, never lend a helping hand by carrying her an extra 100m..., never provide any food or water... and the worst of all, never think twice about taking his own life, something in which the child treasures so much and not given a chance (I personally don't think she did survive with the vulture so close and help so far).

Should one just let nature take its course? Should one learn from Angelina Jolie to offer a helping hand by chasing the vulture away and bringing the child to the salvation camp (Beyond Borders)? How many can you help? While you help one, a few thousands more die. While you help the child, the vulture starved. Even if you helped, she may not even survive the ordeal. Faced with this kind of situation, what should one do? Even if you chose to walked away, why do you feel guilty? The child will soon be relieved from her suffering, and you lived with the lesson of treasuring what you have in comparison. Don't give up when you have a chance, especially when someone tried so hard and yet she cannot achieved.

To Science Centre to watch dino omnimax movie




I also don't really know what to write. The movie effects are nice but the way the show is carried out is quite boring, not much excitement. It seemed that the whole movie is focused on the professor talking instead of the dinosaurs walking, their lifestyle in predicted theory.





Haha... It seems that a change of angle makes the T-rex moved! Haha... is the same T-rex all right.

This is a funny thing that happened some days ago.

One day, the hamster, as usual, put with my cat together on my cat's sleeping haven.
This photo is the start of the funny story and the next moment happened too fast for me to capture an image.

It went like this: the hamster got curious and turn towards the cat's face and sniffed sniffed around. The cat doesn't like anything near its face (ultra scared of anything scarring its cute face) and then give the hamster a small nip (no wounds, never bleed so don't worry). The hamster in return squeaked so loudly the cat faster jerked its head back and the hamster immediately after squeaking end up in this hilarous position, a.k.a. four legs facing the sky pose.

Note: My cat is a very gentle cat, even helped the family found hamsters before when they got loose in the house after biting through the cardboard box, so no worries of it really killing the hamster. The thing which upset me is only when the cat killed my froglet when it jumped out before I had the chance to freed it into the wild. :(
Other than that, the cat also kills lizards, housefly, bees (got stung twice) and chased after cockroaches and praying mantis.

Ever since my mom bought a blender...

I have been trying out new stuff like this glass of tomato blend with apple and honey. Looks gross and taste a bit bland... guess I need to keep improving.
This is chocolate mint shake, made from HL chocolate milk plus scoops of mint ice cream with chocolate chips and ice. The dark chocolate pattern is created by adding chocolate sauce on top.

Snacks which can go well with such drinks.... include bread rolls with tuna and apple. I got the idea from a recipe book.
Taste fantastic and easy to make as well. :D Ate quite a number of these rolls... more than what I would have normally taken and my dear said maybe is because of the small size then easy to eat more.

My Crushes.... :D

Today while flipping my photo album at home, I realised I can still remember most of my primary school friends but very few secondary school classmates names remain in my mind.

Now thinking back, my primary school life seemed more wonderful with just 2 crushes along the path. One I did admit openly, another, well, I also cannot really remember much about him except that he very messy, I bullied him (now still feeling guilty) and we never talk to each other since Pri 3.
There seemed to be a blur impression that we were once good friends in pre year class and Pri 1 but that remained an uncertainty since I cannot remember much any more. I think I felt more confident in studies in primary school.

Secondary school is more crushes and well more fickle minded? Liking 2 guys at one time but remain as crushes. Sigh... I guessed I am quite full of emotions then... maybe overflowing? ;-)
Altogether should be crushes on 4 guys in this period but very brief short crushes, yea. I also won't reveal their identity but it should be quite easily guessable. (Haha)

JC no more crush lo... go into relationship is the grave of crushes... erm but well before maybe still have well 2 to 3 more crushes? Heh heh :-P Me really very hua xin sia....
Good thing is the relationship is solid until now and continues to be solid I hope... (even after he read this) and I feel that I am lucky and fated to be with my dear now.


End of my outburst of emotions (xin qing shu fa).

I almost died in a traffic accident just now!!!

As I was jay-walking, there was a path for me to stop before crossing the one lane road. I stopped to wait for the cars to pass (quite a heavy flow of cars) and then a van stopped in front of me, the men inside signaling me to pass (that kinda give way for you to walk) and fearing that they might caused a jam by stopping halfway like that, I walked.

Never did I realised that a motorcyclist does not think the same or get the hint to stop, he went beside the van and I couldn't see him until he almost knocked into me. Luckily I backed away just in time and suffer no injuries.

The motorcyclist seems worried as well as pissed... and he stopped at the road side to check if I'm okay. I felt very apologetic actually because even if I escaped uninjured, the motorist may injured himself trying to avoid hitting me.

So let me make a note to myself, next time don't ever cross the road until it is clear and not cross because others let me cross, they want me go and die, how?
So scary this incident I must say, it was a miss by a few seconds. Sigh... at least the motorist and I were not injured, phew. I am at fault in this case.

To Suntec And Golden Mile on a Sunday


The lizard pict was taken when my dear dear and I went to suntec. It was on the way when we crossed from Bugis to Suntec by an ulu ulu road. After I done my shopping of Mizayaki dvds (those animations, the same director as Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle), we went to Golden Mile Food Center to have lunch. Dom took beef noodle (niu nan mian), erm the beefy smell was there, as for taste ma, he said was ok. I wanted to try out the fish soup there and this fish soup photo was taken sometime after i consumed a portion of it... heh heh, so it should have more fish slices in it.. The fish soup was nice to me, no fishy smell and different variety of vegetables.
