Scrabholics

My husband is one & so is Fong.. they got me hooked (though at this point I seem to be losing by quite a bit and do not seem to be catching up anytime soon). I've just got June on this and am trying to persuade Ailin. Unfortunately, Ailin claims she's faceless so she's got no eligibility to be on Facebook.

Ok, gotta scram, it flashing "My Turn" ..

Your last thoughts

Quote " One the day you die, you ask yourself: What have you done and is this the kind of life that you wanted? ... We are so busy chasing everything else we forget to ask ourselves 'What is our purpose?" Unquote. Ken Lim - Arena Sept 2007.

I can never understand. Maybe I shouldn't take such statements literally. It could be just a figure of speech. But I can't help but wonder why people have to be so philosophical about their lives ( &/or deaths?) It's such an irony when on the same article, he commented that our (Quote) "media's superficial assessment of our televsion artistes and the Government's push to be a creative hub." Unquote.

I've not been on the brink of death so I do not know what my last thoughts will be. But I know for sure, I will not think of what I did in my living years. I will just be comforted knowing that I was happy once and was lucky to have loved and to be loved. For a fact, I most probably will be scared shitless to think of much.

My love will get you home

Thnks to Ah fong, now I'm in love with this song and the love story that accompanies it. DH has been singing it to himself every night. He says it's very comforting.

Listen... doesn't your heart melt? Simple lyrics but they mean so much

Hogwarts is not for me

I finally completed the last book of the Harry Potter series. Ok, so I cheated but so what. The book was incredibly boring. Since I 1st laid hands on it on 21/7, I only managed to finish max 10 pages before falling asleep. So until DH got fed up and asked when will he be able to read his belated birthday present 2 days ago, I decided to finish up the book once and for all. Finish in my own way, ie.

I flipped to the back, so I would know the ending. Something which I never, never would do in the past. Alas, Harry didn't die. What a damper! I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, much less a fan of Daniel Radcliffe. With the hype that someone would die, with the hype that there was high possibility that it would be Harry, I was hoping for a really dark, a really exciting ending.

Needless to say, I was highly disappointed when I found out that the affected ones were the "kaleifei", Fred, Snape.. Goodness, where's the thrill? Harry lives, Hermoine lives, Ron lives.. *yawn*.. I would rather hang out in plain, old Singapore town, at least I got to see choppers & weirdly dressed people (& canines) in town..
