Close Call with UFO - 14th Mar 2010

Was cruisin along TPE, going home after service and almost reaching my exit when suddenly a flying object came towards my direction.

I was going nice and easy at approx. 100km/hr with a car length's distance behind the front vehicle. Didn't managed to see what it was but it flew straight towards my bonet. The front (near the Toyota logo) was dented, the bonet as well and a clean scratch right across, near the left front light.

Thank God the UFO didn't aim for my windscreen else I cannot imagine the outcome ...


Later that night, I took a walk along the Expressway in search for the guilty bugger, but after 15min I gave up. I think it had legs ....

You're Lucky in April - 10th Mar 2010

I recall a brother who posted a blog about this Singh who came up to him one day and said something like "You have a lucky face, next month is a lucky month for you ... blah blah blah"

Sounds familiar to some ?

Haha, I was greeted in similar fashion today as well !

This well-dressed Singh came up to me, gave a big warm smile and pointed to his forehead saying "You have a lucky face, your forehead shows". I smiled and went politely, "Thank you". He went on, "This mole on your nose is a lucky mole." Again, being nice and polite, I said "Thank you." "Next month, April is a lucky month for you ...  can I tell you something ?" (Didn't he just say a fair bit already ???) Anyway I went "Thank you and no."

Yes, I am lucky but not just next month. I am lucky everyday because He is my God and He is with me everyday. Better yet, I am blessed, truly blessed :D

Signs of an Aging Population - 5th Mar 2010

I was on my way to Marsiling from work to meet her for dinner. Being peak hour, the train was packed but not overly packed since I was considered early. Still I had to stand, (which I'm used to) just that my bag was heavy and my knee was misbehaving. I yearned for a seat so badly cos the journey was long (Orchard to Marsiling).

The bad thing that can happen when you really want a seat on a long train ride is to have an old man board the train and stand beside you a few stations later. There goes my seat, if ever there was one I thought.

The worse thing that happens next after a seat is finally available and I made way for the old man is another old man appearing out of nowhere ! Well, at least I got a smile and nod of thanks from the first old man.

Another seat is available and again, I made way. No smile this time though - but that's fine. I was too tired already. Still plenty of stops to go ... Hopefully I can grab a seat somehow.

The WORST thing that can happen - a third old man ! Man ..... And to top it up, eventually I made way for him as well - all 3 old men had seats side by side right in front of where I stood !

By then, I was 3 stops away ... almost there ....
