Ode to Coffee

Coffee. There is none in my brainstem.
Too much blood in my coffee system.

It is past one in the noon.
I've fallen asleep too soon.

Inspiration dost lie in shambles.
For now I can best only ramble.

I think I may have an addiction.
Or is that a thought of fiction.

My thoughts unclear.
My sight so blear.

Body within has no coffee.
World waking I shall soon not see.

Travel to yon coffee machine I need.
For my brain is filled full of coffee greed.

Echoes of Silence

My Sis and family came home from Singapore to celebrate her son's (my nephew's) birthday and stayed for the whole of last week.

Reason why I didn't post this earlier was because I wanted to post up pictures of them, but alas, I haven't got round to it yet. So I'll post this first while I get round to it.

Anyway, it had been a great week. Got to see my neice and nephew. The yells and screams when they demanded attention. Late night chit chats and dream sharing with my sister. Played tons of Scrabble with my Sis and girlfriend.

What I don't understand about my Sis is how she can keep scoring an average of 15 points a round and how she can keep scoring 30+ points using just 2 letters. Her skill at infuriating me astounds me.

Anyways, I got back at her when we played Boggle with her and everyone else (everyone else being: Dad, Mum, Brother-in-Law, and friend. Girlfriend slept after Scrabble).

Yesterday, my parents sent them home to Singapore via the North South Highway. Now the house is devoid of the sounds of the little ones and a sister. I'm missing them very much. Perhaps I shall make my way down to Singapore soon.

Had nothing better to do, so I took this Star Wars Personality Test. After numerous tries, this is the one I consistently got



Admittedly, there was once when this came out:


The shame... the SHAME!! Its unbearable! I don't even know how I got that!

Cutsie Wutsie Stuff

I'm a sucker for really sweet story stuff. Hence the reason why I'm linking to two flash clips of a Korean cartoon about love story between a guy cat and a girl bunny. You don't really have to understand Korean to appreciate this. Here it is:

There She Is
There She Is, Step 2: Cake Dance

Be patient as its gonna take a moment to load this flash movie up.

Lets clear things up

A friend just brought up a very real and valid point about the ONE Campaign. What's the point of educating, lets say, 100 million people if there aren't 100 million job openings to support them? Can the impoverished country's economy sustain so many workers?

To quote the old saying:
Give a man to fish, you him feed for a day,
teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

Basically, its a question whether or not this campaign is a single pronged attack on poverty...

I'm just going to say that its a multi-pronged attack against poverty. I suggest that you DO visit the link to the ONE Campaign by clicking on the image below or the banner further down to find out more.
