On my birthday
Some time ago, quite recently, Neil Armstrong pulled rank on Buzz Aldrin and jostled his way out the hatch of the lunar module, which was parked somewhere on the Sea of Tranquility.
At round about the same time, at Mount Alvernia Hospital on Thomson Road, a mother recovering from a caesarian section contemplated naming her newborn first son after the lunar mission (Apollo 11 Lee), then after the rocket vehicle that propelled the nauts to the moon (Saturn V Lee), then after the lunar module (Eagle Lee), then the painkillers wore off, and she settled for a nice Hebrew name. (That nice name means 'Right Hand of God' in Hebrew, but that newborn first son turned out to be left-handed.)
Thank you all who left birthday wishes on the comments system and email and sms. For those who share the same birthday, know this, you share your birthday with such people as Robin Williams and Ernest Hemingway. One is insanely funny, and the other shot himself.
Today, I went to buy 20 bananas from Cold Storage Centrepoint, where I saw Chee Soon Juan stand on the five-foot-way selling his new book called 'The Power of Courage: You will never go hungry" (or something). I wanted to take a photo, but my hands were full with the bags of bananas and stuff. Instead, I stood mesmerised by his soporific chanting that went something like,
'Don't be afraid of the dark, gahmen intimidate us, transparency like NKF. Don't be afraid of the dark, gahmen intimidate us, transparency like NKF'.I had to snap out of my stupor and continue making my way back to work. Birthday or not, it's still a work day, and a lot of work this work day has. It's not even over yet. Then I had to get to a computer fast, because I had to change all my passwords, which are all the names of my dead pets in reverse. If you don't already know, Xiaxue's Blogger and Gmail accounts were hacked into and their contents deleted. If you're reading this, hacker, don't worry, I am not threatening you. You'll get your comeuppance in due time. We're talking twenty years without probation, you chowcheebye! These are days. And they get a bit scary sometimes, so I'll paste this quote I've pasted a coupla times before:
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. ~Jelaluddin RumiLau Pa Sat catch fire because my cake too many candles liao. Today, Tomorrow, Forever from the album "Through the Eyes of Patsy Cline - An Anthology Disc One" by Patsy Cline

Love reading your posts..
Have you ever considered that Xiaxue is getting her just desserts? That maybe, just maybe, Batman is in town to clean up Bloggerland Singapura? I came across her hacked blog immediately after reading SarongPartyGirl's comment that Xiaxue's latest blog was really vulgar. Now, that must be something; something actually worse than her usual crude rantings? Alas, and that is my only regret, she was saved by the vigilante - her deleted remarks must be so bad they deserve to be heard in court.
Happy Birthday Mr Miyagi! hope it was a good one...with those 20 bananas =P
So how so how so how???
Happy Belated Birthday :)
