Bitching...

I can't believe June is here already. In about a months time I'll be shipped, well, driven out, and dumped into the army. Just got a call from the Millitary administration yesterday. Stupid turds called to let me know that I'll be enslaved somewhere around July. Why can't they just tell me the damn date? Let it be done and over with! *I'm throughly frustrated*

Anyhow, at the rate 2005's passing me by, I'd better start my Christmas shopping soon so I don't end up bummed out like last year. Oh wait... Presents? Silly me... I'll be in the slave house in Christmas. Well, I guess I'll get to save some mu-lah although I'd much rather spend the money. *Wry smile*

Moving on... I made a critical error last week. I agreed to bring my nephew and niece with me whilst shopping for house stuff. Big mistake, makes me wonder how someone with such little legs can run so damn bloody fast! It also makes me wonder how parents can stand their kids and make it through 12 ailes without beating their kids dead with a can of peas. Probably thats why the human race still exists.

So, after chasing my nephew, *my niece is pretty docile when you bribe her with candy. I know. Shameless. :P* down, I had my nephew in one hand, 11 kg's worth of household stuff *rubber gloves, shampoo, milk, ect* in the other, my niece wrapped around my leg, and a head that was about to explode.

*Flash Back*
When I was young, I was a hyper kid and drove my parents absolutely mad. I was so "free spirited" that I was put on a leash everytime we went out. WelI, most of the time. I know. Extreme... :P

The tradition started when I was in Saudi Arabia and kidnapping women and children was in fashion. For my "safety", I was put on a leash everytime we went out. Then when we moved to a safer location, *Singapore* the leash followed. Guess it gave my mum peace of mind while she was out shopping with me. She'd freak everytime the leash went slack. Haha. *Guess I'm was getting my retribution that day.* Just another reason to get my tubes tied...

So, after shopping, the journey back home was just as taxing, with my niece on my shoulders and my nephew in one hand. These are the times I wish I had the leash in my possession. Or a cattle prod at least.

I'm going to be blogging a bit more often now, now that my writer's/blogger's block is gone and my Band of brudders series is done. I think I made an error with the series. It was too long. Well, lesson learnt.

Jo was in Korea a few days back, and it was nice. It was really nice to have an english... No, Singlish conversation after so long. I'm starved for some english conversations here in Korea. Everyone here asks me how I manage to speak such fluent english. Well, if they actually spoke the language once in a while I'm sure it'll come to them but do they? Of course not.

I'm in one of my moods. Need to bitch. Will get down to more comprehensible postings once my mood gets better...

Cheap Hearing Aid
by Ara Soysa

A man realized he needed to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt
unwilling to spend much money. "How much do they run?" he asked the clerk at the counter.

"That depends," said the salesman. "They run from $2.00 to $2,000."

"Let's see the $2.00 model," he said.

The salesman put the device around the man's neck. "You just stick thisbutton in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," he instructed.

"How does it work?" the customer asked.

"For $2.00 it doesn't work," the salesman replied. "But when people see it on you, they'll talk louder!"
