multiracial morning

i rise to a great multiracial sunshine.





not irritated by the prayers by our muslims friends, the ceremonial "dong dong chiang" by our taoist friends and finally the "amazing grace" played by our christian friends.





Yes all at the same time initially....





There are two funerals held at the voiddeck of my block (side by side). A taoist family and A Christian family. And because today is Haji, our muslims friends are reciting their prayers in a wudhu? in the voiddeck of the opposite block





I think there is a unspoken understanding, respect and tolerance among them.





Anyway, the muslim prayers reminded about the book "Kite runner" that I have read. It is by far a story that I can still remember after months of reading. A very good read. I think Little lamb will like it.





Now I understand what does this verse "lâ ilâha illâ allâh" means. It is always recited many many times during muslims prayers.... it means "there is no god but Allâh... ".

Reynolds Number and Sanitary Pads

Reynolds Number, Sanitary Pads and Kopi C Kosong.

Which two belongs to the same group?

It seems to read like those typical test-your-IQ-to-prove-you-ain't-that-smart questions. Think about it or read on..............

Miss branded-bag-fanatic, Mr Angmo Alibaba and I decided to meet and catch up with each other as Miss branded-bag-fanatic and I had not seen Mr Angmo Alibaba for many many months.

We updated each other with some cliche events that happened in the past few months and we congratulated Mr Angmo Alibaba on his recent promotion to Senior Chemical Engineer.

We had steak in Holland Village Hog's Breath and as usual, we were asked what kinda sauce we would like to have on our steak. Miss branded-bag-fanatic who thinks the waiter is cute, mischievously points at the menu, "sauce that's like home made by mum"

Looking briefty at the waiter who is now very embarrased by her question, she quickly followed up with another question while looking at us "But who's mum, my mum doesn't cook"

Decided to play along, souplad said "Mine either, if its from my mum, forget about it"

AngMo Alibaba said "No mum here, that's why we eat out".

We cracked up at our silly remarks leaving the waiter blushed and hurried off to get our dinner fixed .

Angmo Alibaba claimed that he has lotsa freetime now as his gf will be outatown for quite sometime and he is looking for new interest.

"why not tutor Miss branded-bags-fanatic" souplad uttered.

"What? He doesn't even know Reynold's number for Laminar flow and turbulent flow" Miss branded-bags-fanatic

"Alamak, senior chemical engineer leh" souplad.

I think Angmo Alibaba must be thinking " Bloodly hell, berlanjah you guys dinner and now kena suan...."


Anyway albeit the bad steak, we had good laughs and chats as we adjourned to Wala Wala.


It was 2 am when i received an SMS that says " <2000> 4000 turbulent.. too much redbull and bored" its damn obvious who sent this SMS.

Despite late nites, I woke up pretty early and that I was greeted with great sunshine.

Saw Miss YY in MSN and we decided to catch up in CCK Yakun. A good 4 or 5 years I think since that last time we met when I gave my super-underutilised-Unit Operations textbook to her. We chatted and updated each other about whats has happened over the past 4 to 5 years.

We came to a topic when we asked why are we doing stuffs that are not related to what we studied in college.

Miss YY claim that she had a friend that had a job that I couldn't possibly guessed after graduating as a rookie chemical engineer.

Doing research work on sanitary pads and tampons. It left me flabbergasted for a good 30 seconds.

We tried to think the link between Chemical Engineering and Sanitary pads/tampons. We concluded they are very related.

Yeah... the subject that all chemical engineers took at the final year M.T.O Mass Transfer Operation... (I shan't elaborate further)

We laughed and laughed. As usual, Souplad, being infamous for his rude and loud guffaws drew unwanted attention.

later in the nite, I caught up with my buddies over two games of mahjong and mercilessly set them back for a good 70 bucks ( if only I raised the stake but kind souplad couldn't bear to see their lil ones go hungry without milk powder for god-knows-how-many weeks. = ) )



Looking forward to punctuate my sunday with nice warm commas and exclamation .

Little lamb is picking me up for Bah Kut Teh in Pelangi. Yeah!!!

I felt so blessed and grateful.
