everything is on hold

…until the end of TechEd SEA 2007. Am camping there at the moment.

Anyway, come visit us at the TechEd Exhibition Hall, Grand Ballroom 1 & 2, Level 3 during Trade Visitors hours from 2pm – 6pm, this Tuesday and Wednesday (11/9 & 12/9)!

in the silence of the night

I can hear the wind whispering outside my window
I can hear the pages rustling when I turn the book
I can hear the water dripping in the sink
I can hear the candles burning lighting in the incense pot
I can hear the distant siren out on the highway below
I can hear my own sigh resonating with the walls surrounding me

And no words can expressed how much I miss you – nutty and wonderkittie.

I know life is never easy.
I know that even the bestest friend has to part way some time in their life.
I know I am supposed to wish them well and let them live their life.
But why is it that it gets harder & harder each year?
I do not want to let go.
Actually I can’t let go.
Yet I must learn to let go.

I miss you girls heaps…

a "TREE" octopus, really?

In a series of cascading events – loony subscribed to BNET, which introduced Pharyngula, who talked a little about some Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, which piqued loony’s interest “Is there really a dry land octopus?” and clicked the link…

Call loony a frog under the well but mann…! She was SUPER SHOCKED when she saw the real picture of this “is this real?” dry-land octopus.

loony pondered: How did the octopus get to live on the trees? But but but ain’t we all taught that octopus live under the deep dark ocean? (and maybe that’s why they’re so hideous?)

Then loony decided that the picture looks a bit fake, so she went to look at other pictures… and screamed! Tree octopus is mind-bogging enough, and now a *BLUE* tree octopus which frankly speaking looked like a soft plush furry toy being put there on top of the tree???
< style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Tree octopus species (especially the endangered Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus) are some of the most elusive creatures known to Man. Not many researchers have managed to photograph them in the wild and those few in captivity tend to hide in inaccessible corners of their cages, as if purposefully avoiding the prying of humans.“

loony is verrryyyyyyyyy suspicious of this entire set up. Then loony flashed back on how the hell did she come across this information at first place: BNET wouldn’t introduce Pharyngula if he’s a fake; and since Pharyngula is a reputable blogger he will not mentioned tree octopus if this info is fake ‘cos it’ll make him look stupid; then loony decided that this is after all a genuine information; then since this is a nearly endangered species loony decided to support the shoutout to save the tree octopus!

(Note to all men: This is not the ususal way women’s thoughts are processed)
(Note to self: Seeing are not necessarily believing. A dose of skepticism are healthy for thy mind)

SO, loony’s blog’s dearest readers and fans, please do your bit and support the blue tree octopus cause. All you need to do is to post the picture up and linked back to the website anyway.

I’ve been tagged.. *sweat*

Well, I thought tagging is a spyware. Honestly. Have no idea how it works until MissMynx tagged me! ARGHHH! I’ve been tagged! Now I felt honour-bound to write a “I’ve been tagged” blog, dedicated to MissMynx ok! Haha (Thanks for loving my blog! *mwah*mwah*)

Anyways this is how it works:
• Each player must post these rules first.
• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

These are 8 little facts about d’pagan:
- I cannot rear any pets for shit. They all died-ed on me. It is strictly absolutely no-way-it’s-going-to-be my fault
- I get super irritated when people do illogical stuff which I can’t make sense of. It defies reason!
- I read dictionary for fun when I was younger. Now I subscribe to dictionary.com for a new word a day. Yeah yeah, I’m a geek at heart.
- I only like to befriends people who has the same IQ & EQ, or higher, than I am.
- Thick-skinned, “lansi”, “diao geh”, sarcastic, or corny are all my middle name.
- I’m really fat when I was younger. And I do mean REALLY fat (oh shuddup).
- I like to put things in perspective for others, though not necessarily for myself. So don’t ask for my opinion if you can’t take the blunt & honest truth.
- I have my own little motto/principles of life, all collected & cherished through my passage of years thus far. One must learn from one’s mistake, no?

And i’m tagging along:
Ann Tu writes GREAT blog! Absolutely adore her Chinese blog.
Cathryn The Great isn’t afraid to blog about her own personal shit-hole or heavenly experience.
Ivy Chee likes to update her blogs with pieces of information she found on the web.
Ual-Nehpets-Werdna has a whacky sense of humour. Just look at his nick!
Vincent Chee only writes in Chinese now. (how reader-unfriendly) A shame though. His English is kinda good. (Afterall he’s my brother. It’s in our genes)
xQing blogs almost daily! You’ll find her blog irresistibly cute, if you read Chinese that is. 
Karla has finally found her reason of being in KL – to match make the expats from different countries!
Ee Leong just celebrated his 25th birthday and suddenly decided to detailed his life since he has goldfish (3 sec) memory lapse

Tracy’s Birthday @ Melodious Bar, Singapore

Last weekend, I took the 11.30pm Aeroline bus & stupidly bought the return ticket the very next day at 6.00pm. Tracy’s party started at 9.00pm. Smart huh?

Anyway, the person who was so excited, nervous & impatient about everything, the person who managed to persuade oo & loony to go down to celebrate Tracy’s birthday, is the MAN who made everything happened & proposed to Tracy with a bouquet of 100 teddies!!!! So sweet right?

Well, the birthday girl has only 1 wish – to make bong drunk. Being her best pal, making her another best pal was totally my duty, isn’t it? haha.

Enjoy the pictures. More pictures on oo’s blog.

xian & hui’s pre-nuptial CRAZY partying!

A little bit of celebration is OBLIGATORY prior to ah xian’s & ah hui’s nuptials, right? The cute thing is, they both celebrated at the same place – Sunshine Bar @ Melaka. Well.. the bride’s maid-of-honour is… urm.. very the happy for the both of them I guess. But hey! Why talk the talk when pictures are worth a billion bucks. Enjoy~ *nyek nyek*
