All Singaporean's geek

I am by definition not a geek. The pre-acquisition of a Singaporean geek is you must at least own a iPhone 3Gs. I carry a traditional Nokia.

Even the cleaner who work at our HDB block owns one. It doesn't matter if you know only 2 buttons, and only listen to mp3 on your phone. Owning a Apple iPhone product is a stylish thing to do this day.

Actually Singaporean geekdom kinda piss me off. Few days ago my friend show off his new Nexus One to us. After playing with the naughty little track ball I scrutinize this still in beta beautiful handset, Only to realize that my fingers still linger with that sensation.

I swear to kill the geek in me that night. I cannot find him at home.

I fire up my Firefox this morning to find it flooded by the word 'iPad'. I am sure my face blushes by that Sexy-naughty name. Unaware that it was not a lady's product, I scramble to close my browser. Later, I was told that it is Apple new tablet PC which seem to be the only kind of worthy news my tech friend is reading then.

Question remains, the day that it is launch in Singapore.

I can imagine everyone showing off their iPad on public transport, in shopping mall and everywhere.

The news headline reads, "Do you have your own iPad?"

The sound of people tabbing their iPad while doing business in the toilet....

I think I will avoid Facebook for a while, else I see photo of iPad on every single click.

That will be a horror..

Sex. is the number one act that can save humanity

When I first hear the news, I thought I heard wrongly. Singapore Ministry of Health early secure their worker early to encourage them to have sex, ahm.. to make more baby for the country. The first thought that comes to my mind was, man! why Ministry of Health? It should be HDB, even Singapore Town Council.

Let me explain a bit...

You see, Singaporean are strategically placed, sorry, most of us live in a high rise flat built by our government. Or many of us know it as Housing Development Board(HDB) flat. They don't turn off the light. Never. Not at Earth most desperate hour. Nay.

They also installed CCTV at every lift of HDB. I personally believe my country has the most CCTV per square feet in the World.

I talk too much off topic. Nevermind.

After some desperate Google I finally come to my senses, disappointingly inform wife that it was actually a far off eastern peninsula that have this incentive. We can only hope, and maybe learn to master a foreign tongue to enjoy it. Alas! We cannot.
We are not catching up but our age are. I mean we have 3 children, but our circle of friends, have an average of 4 per family. Joke aside, in fact I thought our gahmen was kidding when they first announce to give away baby bonuses to encourage sexual.. making baby. We just couldn't see the issue, and we still don't.

Why oh why Singaporean refuses to make baby. Or even get married.

I remember a famous man, I can't remember who, told me that humanity would perish in a 100 years if everyone refuses to make baby.

I like to close this article here and turn off our light early. We would like to have another baby.

愁伤

我回想起一段往事。

有一次我一面吹着口哨，一面在抄写一篇文章。妻略带玩笑的望着我：“今天心情不错嘛！”　我停下笔来，正色的看着她：“只有心情好才能吹口哨吗？难到我不能吹悲伤的乐曲吗？你没听过夜行人的口哨吗？”　我不懂乐器，所以以口哨代替，舒发一下情怀。

刚好电视正播‘当我们同在一起’大结局。哦，是幸福美满大团圆。我喃喃：“这样的剧情不好，没有什么看头，收视率不会有突破。要煽情，要悲情一点。才会引出话题。”妻当然不满，冷水来啦：“你怎回事！是不是要看到全部死光了你才高兴。”我拿出‘出路’与‘黄金路’这两部戏撑腰。不过，我为什么总学不精千万不能和女人斗嘴，尤其是当这女人是你太太时。呵呵。

四十出头了。生活的奇迹不尽也少了很多，凡事也取实踏实了一些。

近来家里几番起落，也稍稍的给我们多添了几度愁思。当我望着镜子时，发现几根银丝已静悄悄探出头来。

我好像听到岁月的嘲弄。

你。看你还能顽皮多久。

Life is Mysterious

They said life works, or rather God worked in ways we cannot comprehend. I will be back as soon as I get on my feet.

Laundry mayhem in my little house

Like a stream of unapologetic billingsgate I use to cursed someone during my most unforgiving age, nothing come close to act as a housewife for 24 hours. I actually dread it.

In fact, I made a analysis. Many agree housework can never be complete, but that is far from the calculation you will get from me.

Your Mum and Dad said to change your clothing everyday? Don't! You are a naughty child if you change them once per day. You see, we have 5 members in the house, shirt+shorts+socks+underwear+towelX5X7= the washing never got a rest. I excluded 5 pairs of pillow and bolster cases which we have to change every week from my mind to delude myself that's all to wash and dry. Our 7 drying bamboos have hard time keeping up with our laundry.

Oh man! I proclaim this the greatest feat of a stay-home-housewife. We need an intelligent solution desperately. No. I need the solution. 

And don't get me start on other house chores.

You can ask, off course. We think that it's fun to sent away our domestic helper home and take up all the housework ourselves.

I hate TCS8 TV series Penguin Daddy. It is so fake.

Young PAP lion

A intelligent looking boy stood nearby when I was taking this photo. He looks at me wearily. Later he pulls William away in a protective manner.

The school teacher after that told him I am Will's father.

He was not entirely convinced, from the look on his face.

What a reliable friend! Thanks boy. I felt safe knowing Will has a classmate like this. Where has such friend gone nowsaday?

Oh, the lion is my boy. He is a hard nut to crack.

Ice Mountain in our home

Who knows my kids consume more water after we installed this fresh water dispenser. Boy, 11 litres in 48 hours, that is, 11.35 divided by 5 divided by 2. Everyone took in 1.1 litre per day. Minus the time which we were not home(more than 8 hours), that is a lot.

It started with a pure motivation to save time and trouble take to boil fresh water. No, not just boiling. We boil, wait for it to cool down, transfer the cooled water to a pot, and then we do it again.

I would say. We did this five times a day, seven days a week. And we are still constantly short of boiled water.

And we still haven't take the electricity for boiling up the water into account yet.

I don't have to drink direct from the tap anymore. I can have very hot or cold drink just by lifting 2 fingers.

We worry no more about running out of hot water for baby's milk. You understand if you have to wake up past mid-night to make a bottle of infant milk, and realize the hot pot is dry. I can almost hear my neighbor praise their God, not that they don't pray.

My children are especially enthusiastic after this new water gadget. Hereby know as the yin-yang fountain. Not only does it makes you younger, it is almost magical to get water at your desire temperature by tapping on the 2 tiny tap. I secretly wish their excitement will last.

Maybe is time to say bye-bye to our old ceramic water pot and hot flask.

I think I will make another cup of hot chocolate.
