Once upon a time, there were a certain cat and a certain mouse. The mouse was afraid of the cat, and try to hide the cat once it knew the cat was around. Times after times, the mouse was tired, and did not hide anymore.

The End.

Couple on a bicycle

A couple on a mini bicycle, is it strange? I always carry my wife on her bicycle from home to bus stop, sometimes to supermarket. And people stare on us as if we are UFO, or they've never seen this before. Do they have the practice to carry another person behind on a bicycle? Once, there was a woman driving pass us, suddenly she slowed her car down, even stopped, in a middle of a desert street, just to show this phenomenon to her children sitting behind. I often see fathers, mothers carrying their children on their bicycles, but I rarely encounter any couples on a bicycle.


Bus stops at Clementi MRT

This is the MRT station we visit frequently. The one on McDonald side is more crowded and people are more friendly than those on the opposite side. We always wait for IMM shuttle bus at the former bus stop. This bus never comes on time according to the schedule. Recently, the newspaper and accessories stalls on both sides have been removed, passengers have more place to stand waiting for the bus, we have more space to cycle pass the crowded bus stop. Every time we cycle pass the latter bus stop, people always look at us with a lot of questions. They never give way for us. Although we ring our bell loudly enough that all other people can here, but the ones who stand in front of our bicycle never move. 98 out of 100 attempts.

FYI, the IMM-Clementi-Boonlay-Jurong East shuttle bus schedule is here:


Eating outside

Now eating outside is not a very big problem with us (now it's still a big problem, not "very" anymore). We even find delicious food somewhere. The problem now is to find a table to eat. In every crowded shopping center, it can take you some 10 minutes to find a table. And when you find one, your hunger is over. Available table is very rare on dining time (around 7pm), if you are alone, maybe eating while standing is your first choice, of course you can share a table with someone who is alone like you. However, the Kopitiam at IMM is not so crowded, empty tables are everywhere, food is good. Recommend for anyone who find it difficult to eat in Singapore.

Sport

My first victory ever! We won first set 6-4, lost second set 1-6 and won tie-break 7-5.

Football season is over, I don't miss it much. Tennis is just halfway. F1's just begun. The RG starts today. Last chance in the year for Rafael to dominate.

That's story this week. Hope you enjoy my story. Bye for now.

Yesterday I deleted a name+phone number on my hand phone.

I met him again last week since his departure, several months ago. Suddenly he came back, for 10 days. It's a surprise to see him again, so soon. I think maybe after several years we will meet but not now.

Anyway, suddenly he was there, sitting at his old temporary place, next to some oxygen tanks (that we usually call "bomb") and surfing the web. I came in to say hello, and knew that he came back to amend his thesis, some minor details that he told me he can do it online, but he chose to come back.

Is there anything behind?

Never mind.

I used to delete many numbers on my hand phone, but not the person that I was speaking to right there. The numbers I delete can belong to those who don't use theirs anymore, those who go and settle down abroad. So nothing important this time when I deleted his number. I should have done this several months before.

But I felt strange.

There are lots of people who use a new number everyday, and lots of numbers are lost everyday. I believe there numbers will never be used again. My wife also replaced her sim-cards three times. So they will disappear forever. These numbers are our IDs, once they are replaced, we have a new ID, new representative, and they are useless. Nobody remembers.

Never mind

I feel strange about these numbers once they lost.

I've gone too far...

An email costs 100USD plus.

This morning, I received such email and lost 100+USD. Look on the bright side, however, nothing comes for nothing. Hopefully MU will win this evening.

I felt asleep early today, at ... 5:00pm. I wanted to take a nap because under this situation, I couldn't watch two important events tonight; FA final and Hamburg Semifinal. I made an ice tea, and things are better.

Last friday, I accessed a hosting site by a recommendation. They have domain name on sale! I bought a couple of domain names for 0.99 USD each. Lời to.

Yesterday I had an interesting evening at IMM. The downside was the carrot cake. This was the second time in IMM I was cheated by the advertisement. The photo shows some nice and crispy pieces of carrot cake on a plate, in reality, I received a plat with soft, black thingy inside. It can not be compared with carrot cake in Vietnam. Only two places in Singapore I find acceptable food are in food court near Bouna Vista MRT, and NUS Art Canteen, but The Deck was down, and I've never visited that food court ever since.

Federer is vulnerable now. He also parted his part-time coach. In my point of view, he lacks of matches. He drops some non Master-Series events that he participated in some last years. He's not very confident on court as I used to see him be.

Yesterday I saw at World of Sport that my racket costs $300 plus. I can't believe the sale-off system here. Last time I bought it at $128, so it's REALLY sale-off.

However, it seems we never "gain" anything if we buy goods in buck. For example, 1 bag of 3kg Breeze, or Fab, or Top costs $6, and 1 bag of 5kg costs $10. So why do we have to buy bigger bag?

That's all for this week. Now I'm watching MU-Chelsea. Bye for now.

This morning, I made a terrible coffee. Only three spoons of coffee left. I put the milk on the microwave oven for two minutes. After two minutes, I poured the milk into the filtered coffee and tasted. I felt a terrible odour. The reason might be the microwave oven, as a lot of rubbish inside. The carelessness spoilt a morning.
