Questions

"What would you consider your greatest non-academic achievement?"

and

"Describe something that you gained because you perservered."

these are the 2 questions that an applicant had to answer in short essays for a position that i was applying for some time back.

jus something to ponder about.

Dreams

was actually gonna post this up yesterday, but time seems to be a scarce resource nowadays.......and in relative terms, this post would seem like a waste of time.......

i had a dream. a peter petrelli dream for those who watch the drama series "Heroes".........for those who don't, i dreamt that i could fly and i flew. off the balcony in my parents' room and well, smack into the thick foilage of our mango tree in the garden.........

i remember it was night just before the leaves smothered me but it was bright as day when i came out the otherside of the foilage. flying over siglap hill before finally landing at some lane over looking all the houses in the area. and suddenly The Indian appeared though im not sure for wat purpose. i only remember the view.

now this is where it gets weird. were you expecting anything else?

the dream changed abruptly. i found myself staring at 2 local comedians. a certain fat malay one and another really skinny chinese guy with good english. they were being pretty gay. both were in their swimwear. the malay guy in his trunks and the chinese guy.........well, he was in a 2 piece suit that is more commonly seen on more buxom figures. i still remember that 2 piece to be turquoise blue.

the dream changed again. this time i found myself in the courtyard of perhaps a chinese temple with a huge red gate and there was a huge roach on the ground. now this isnt the same kinda roach we have in sg. it's the kind that has huge wings that cover the full length of the body. it was brown with a purplish sheen depending on how the light hit it.

the roach then started to morph into a lizard. a very beautiful lizard at that. one with a black coloration under the translucent skin of its tail and markings on the upper hind legs. hard for me to describe really since im not that good with words.

and.....then there was this other lizard. bigger one. with different but jus as beautiful markings on its body. and was crawling over to the smaller lizard and climbed on top of the smaller one.......and...........i woke up.......

im pretty sure the late dinner cost me my super power of flight.

A Bundle of Joy

first off, straight out of the tech news oven, Microsoft is gonna promote Linux via a partnership with Novell. this is big news pple. very big. very very big.

next, i have a nephew~!

unfortunately/fortunately i dun think any of my family members read this blog, else they would be going,"It's about bloody time."

my sis sent me some pics of her/my new bundle of joy........they are alittle small cos she used a camera phone but i promise ill take more when i go visit this wkend.



yea, the pictures are alittle fuzzy. but u can jus make out the ears, eyes and nose. and i think that's a birth mark on his teeny weeny little behind. cant see if he has all his digits tho. i hope they are all there. ain't he cute?

not sure why his cot looks like a cage. my sis is a little protective. understandbly. first child y'know.

actually, im not sure if i have a niece or nephew. need to check this wkend. was thinking of buying him/her a t-shirt to wear that says,"World's best nephew." but i guess i could jus buy him/her something to chew on since babies jus love put things in their mouths. my sis told me to buy ear plugs, not sure y. maybe she meant ear muffs to keep his/her ears warm.

i am obviously excited if u haven noticed.
