"Scandalous 5"

This was our dessert at Swensen, after makan at Sakae Sushi (at Toa Payoh, just side by side).

Actually it's named "Topless 5"... hahaha... think about it, it's more like "Scandalous 5"

Different Perspectives, Different Cultural Background

Received this image from a friend... He painted it, while he's not a trained artist, he captured the minute details the animal. At a first look, I thought it was a...... however, as I continued to read the email, it was supposed to be a.... I shall not reveal what it is yet... until I return a days later...

Meanwhile... make a guess :D

电脑游戏的“前身”乃“金缕衣”？

《金缕衣》杜秋娘

劝君莫惜金缕衣，劝君惜取少年时。

花开堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝。

其实，说实在的，杜秋娘还蛮有“远见”的！

这首诗，可跨越时空，到今时今日，仍然可派上用场。
（哈！没有时间的局限）(i.e. Timeless)

看看校内的同学们，甚至师长们；有谁可站出来说，没有玩过电脑游戏？
不同的是，有的很清楚，若是与“金缕衣”结下了“不解之缘”所带来的利与害。
可是，这，可不是每个人都可做得到的。

也许大家都以为自己有“自我约束”的能力，懂得何时适可而止吧！
然而，往往并非如此；所谓当局者迷，也就是“沉迷”。。。结果不但没有“惜取少年时”，还往往“待无花”时才“空折枝”！

一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨。
已经过了两个月，大家是否有好好的欣赏到花开的美景？开始折该折得东西了吗？

Musician Cab-driver

The look of this cab-driver doesn't subscribe to the normal look of a cab-driver - shoulder length hair that resembled a bit like a mad scientist! hahaha....
(OK, don't get me wrong... it's not that I stereotype, but having hopped into some many cabs in the recent months, I could tell the difference... hahaha...)

To confess... it was my zzzzz hour and that hoped to catch some intermittent naps on the way... though this is a short one - from City Hall to Tampines.

He's sooooo chatty... hahah... quite rare... started talking about Chjimes - when it was converted from the Girls' school, to the new pedestrian bridge at Bugis Junction... hahaha... he's like a guide... I guess he must be bored and sees his passengers as his audience. He moved on to (voluntarily) talked about himself being a musician prior taking up driving, how lavishly he spent on cars, etc... and even went for car racing, etc... hahaha... ah! from the way he sat and waved his hands in the air... obviously... he missed "those good days...".

Apart from the interesting context (which is pretty different from what other cab-drivers talk about... ), well, I guess he's also taking the opportunity to tell the world he regretted his course of actions... (to make himself feel better?) Hm....

Before I alighted... he left his name and even the url to this website!
Thanks, Spencer, for the entertaining 20-minute journey...
