life

i learnt something new this week.

first, i finally know how mahjong works! and just 2 hours or so into it, i am hooked. but i will stay loyal to my mahjong kakis (2 singaporeans, 1 malaysian and 1 attached singaporean who is ostracised even by malaysians) because we play at the same speed - the slowest speed. precisely because we are all moving at the same rate (except my buddy, coz she can play and talk at the SAME time!) we can have fun together. hopefully at the age of 60, we are still playing mahjong together (which definitely can keep us from developing dementia) and hopefully, not at the same speed.

second, i learnt that if/when you dream of shit, please, touch it. because if u were to touch shit in your dream, you are bound to come into a windfall, whether big or small. therefore, if ever you dream about me and there is shit present, please, force "me" to touch it, but make sure i do not eat it. but please note, if u ever dream about my buddy and some shit, please make her eat it, so that she can be lucky and wealthy from WITHIN.

third, never judge a book by its cover. however fierce, unfriendly, different a person looks, it is not an accurate representation of how he or she really is. difficult as it may be to adopt such an outlook in reality, this really rings true in many people i have met. some appear sweet and demure on the outside but with time, you can see how sharp the hidden fangs are. on the contrary, there are some people with fierce expressions (not only talking about myself can?) or who smiles rarely but can actually be the sweetest person around. its just like someone who's very thin but is in truth a couch potato and chicken wings-and-carbo junkie. its just like you never know how juicy an apple is until you actually bite into it.

p.s. is it just me or the office toilets smells better after the shit exploded. mayb the smell was due to the congested shit in the first place.
