Greedy Bee

Little bee saw chocolate and couldn't resist. Stuck his head inside and now, he can't get out.

*Teehee*

What in The Dough?

I don't even have to ask. I BET you can guess the common product of these logos.

Doughnuts!

All of the sudden it became like one of those Tamagotchi or Pokemon craze. Faddism. *tsk tsk* I mean. It is after all just some stuffed or glazed cooked dough....But looking at the word kan, apart from the origin of the word itself, the word 'doughnut' actually somehow suggests indulgence. Doesn't it?

Doughnuts are so very overrated by media and people.

Wouldn't you agree? Cop movies. Homer Simpson. College charity fair. If you go to the nearest J Co Donuts & Coffee or Big Apple, you will most definitely be able to witness the fuss: a constant stream of customers lining up to buy those dozens. After Alvin and The Chipmunks, I went over to Big Apple and here goes. With arms lifted up, I confess. Bought home half a dozen. *Teehee*

Being in the line made me realise that number one, the line was long because of bad management. People had to wait 'cause even though there were sufficient workers, they were not exactly efficient. And two, some people were in the line not knowing why they were there in the first place. 2 women in front of me were having a conversation (well, they were speaking so loudly, I couldn't help overhearing alright) and it goes something like this,

"What are we doing here?"
"I don't know. Buy....doughnuts?"
"Is it even nice?"
"Wait. I thought you said it was nice."
"Huh? I thought you said it was nice"
*silent pause*
"But the line is so long, it has to be nice"
"Yeah I agree"
"Oh well, if it's not nice we will just give it away"

(''D)

These are the ones I bought. *points down* Pretty pretty doughnuts.

Now you see it.....

*Grawrawrghawrghaggarrrmmmm*

Now you don't.

Sherlock at Home

Approximately this hour of time yesterday, as I was crawling out of the kitchen due to my major disappointment that there wasn't any breakfast even after thoroughly rummaging through the 2 fridges, the dining table, and the cabinets, I heard a noise. A noise so very familiar, only originating from the store room. Extremely odd. *ting* Yaha! At this time, the 'bubble of thought' popped up and the investigation tools I need slowly made an appearance. Magnifying glass. Headtorch (you know, the kind of torchlight you strap to your head). Ziploc bags (for evidence silly!). Then I figured "Rachel! No time. No time! The lives of your family is at stake here!" So for the love of my parents, siblings and goldfishes, I decided to be the heroin *flashes of making headlines in the news* and took a brave step closer into the store room *cue track from Jaws*

The sound echoes louder as I move nearer to the bed. I climbed on the bed, pushing everything aside, lifting every box, every clothing, well, basically turning the room upside down. And THEN.........I heard another sound coming from my right. This time it sounds a little different. *gasp gasp gasp* ....I saw a huge cardboard box. I slowly opened up the box lid *heart pounds pounds pounds* and THERE is was!!

A cat! A cat with a bold stare! (Lovely brown eyes though) A cat HISSING at me!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

*instinctive decision* (RUNNNN!!!!)

I scurried out of the room and screamed.........(think Macaulay Culkin running up and down the staircase, with arms waving in the air)...

"A CAT GAVE BIRTH IN OUR STORE ROOM!!!!"

Rachel is so very drama.

Throw Me A Blanket

3 more days till the year is over! ......Too enthusiastic. 3 more days till the year is over....... Hmmm. Too depressive. 3 more days till the year is over. Perfect.

When it comes to the last few days, most people fuss over the same old thing: "Celebration". I think I have left that stage behind a while back. Yes, no doubt (bias description of a typical scene) the whole idea of being part of the sweaty and icky crowd, standing in the middle of somewhere spectating the dives and dances of the fireworks and not forgetting the counting down to yet another year sounds all exciting...But is that all there is to it? That's it? That's how the year is going to end?

For some funny reason, I have made the decision to refrain myself from celebrating the year. Instead, I would take the eve to perhaps, quietly commemorate, reflect on the pivotal moments and if ever celebration should be done, it'd be just with a smile.

Why? 'Cause I feel that there were many things that had happened from the first of January 2007, whether in my life or the life of others, did not deserve the opening of wine corks and clanking of glasses.

New Years....in fact, should very much in fact be something...not all that celebratory. To a certain extent I'd think it should be of grievance. Think about it. Making new resolutions. The only manner of producing sincere ones is to reflect. It is that time to reminisce. To ponder and to weigh out the events in our lives and how it has affect ourselves and others. Things you could have done, could have said. Negligence. Obligations after obligations. I wonder if a piece of blank paper lies in front of you to just pen anything for the season down, what would be it. I think I'd be almost convinced the paper remains almost blank, or dare I say blank.

Throughout the year, innocent lives were robbed, racial segregation and condemnation happened, the usual political hullabaloo, natural disasters, discovery of new diseases....All too depressingly repetitive and cliche. *cue melancholic violin play*

Therefore, this year, I have chose to bewail over the bad side of things that had passed for the year.

Heresy? I know. ('',)

Role Playing

THE GIANT SHEEP

Once upon a time, there lived a giant sheep named Jolly up in the mountains. It was feared by all the living things that lived in the mountains, including the trees.

Poor Jolly has always wanted a friend but no one dares go near him. Jolly feels very lonely sometimes. Which is why some days, Jolly would catch the animals who lived in the mountains to play with. One day, Jolly caught Rudolphy's best friend Junior.

Rudolphy heard about the news from the fellow flock and quickly made his way to the giant sheep to rescue his friend.

Rudolphy waited and waited and finally, the giant sheep falls into a deep sleep.

Rudolphy slowly sneaks to the giant's foot and starts climbing it. As he carefully climbs, he whispers Junior's name, loud enough for Junior to hear but softly so that the giant is not waken up.

As Rudolphy makes his way up to the giant's stomach, he slips and accidentally pulled part of the giant's wool. The giant did not make any move. So Rudolphy continues climbing and seeking for his dear friend, Junior.

When Rudolphy reached the giant's head, the giant's eyes opened! The giant started panicking and shakes his head repeatedly. Rudolphy holds on to the giant's wool really tight so that he doesn't fall off.

"Ow! You are hurting me!", shouts the giant. "Let go of me", he says. Rudolphy yells, "Junior! I am here to save you!" and jumps off to the ground.

Rudolphy tries to run away as fast as he could from the giant. And the giant caught him. The giant breathes in heavily and say, "I am not a bad sheep! I just want to have friends!"

The giant squeezed Rudolphy too hard and Rudolphy suffocated to death. The giant accidentally lets go of the Rudolphy because of shock that he killed the poor reindeer. Rudolphy fell onto Junior who was running away at that time and Junior also died. The giant felt extremely sad and had a heart attack and went along to heaven with Rudolphy and Junior.

*THE END*
