“I am my own worst enemy” is a common maxim. Today’s introduction to “I am my own best friend” is a new area of self-exploration I have yet to ventured into.

WatchFood Revolution: Jamie Oliver’s TED 2010 talk - the bar chart he flashes up at the 2-min mark is profound, “we spend our lives being paranoid about murder and homicide and thefts, when the fast food and sugary drinks we have everyday has a much higher rate of killing us.”

– Tokyo Godfathers (2003) - A man, a homo, a girl, and a baby - all homeless and abandoned, strives to survive in the slums of downtown Tokyo. Satoshi Kon’s wonderful take on the dysfunctional ‘family’ is always interesting, poetic, and oil-drum-fire-heartwarming.

Bad Mean Turn
How a racquet sport can turn ugly for me:
1. Leaving a bruise on your friend’s leg by smashing at him. As his partner.
2. Blood spilled on the parquet floor. When a smash hits my face, bursting my enlarged pimple.
3. Playing mixed doubles, when my partner notices the colour of my underwear, thanks to a large gash across the front of my shorts.

I'm a sucker for book discounts
I hereby declare not to step into a bookstore, especially Borders Curve, until CNY next year. I will buy my magazines ie Economist/SLAM only from mamak newstands. I can get stationary from Popular, but not to go close the chinese area.

Mario! Adventure Island! TMNT! BATTLE CITY!!!
I think I’m going to have severe lack of sleep.
Haven’t heard a story so sad in a while. All I can do is pray that you will have the hope and the will to live on. People come and go in our lives, not in our puny horizons can we understand another human soul, or pass judgment that accentuates our stupidity by judging.
Sigh and I’m gonna miss another Team Malat dinner tomorrow night.
