What Rubbish?!

Do not make a definite judgement of something, and rubbish it, just because you don't have a clear view and understanding of it. This photo of an OHP slide may be blurred, but that doesn't mean that the literature contents on the slide are nonsense; it's only one bad picture after all, maybe be due to a bad coincidence of camera shake and shutter-opening. Either move closer for another take, or steady the hands and auto-focus again, not condemn everything once and for all. If all the photos turn out bad, then it might be due to your camera's inadequacies or more-likely, the camera user's own technical inadequacies and insensitivity... At the end of the day, if everything still turns out blurred and twisted, then it'll be something to feel very sad about~

Aw bon voyage~

It's bon voyage to Aw in his foray to the land of sushi and superheroes in bug masks~! Gambatte~!

Aw, this is for you to put in your wallet when you are overseas... can use to scare away robbers... or scare away Sadako also can~!

Kel's Sunday Times

I have a new calender, courtesy of Uncle, Mas and Siwei~!

This is not a flying cockroach, but a rarely seen mole cricket, which spends its life mostly underground, digging through the earth with its unique huge front legs. This particular one decided to spread wings to fly to a better place, until it ended up in my house trying to dig through the floor tiles in vain... until I brought it to the window for it to continue on its way~

What Does My Birth Date mean (Part II)

The "What Does Your Birth Date mean?" application in FaceBook does seem to be pretty true about this... I DO find it hard to get things done because I get distracted ever so easily... It's not that I don't get my priorities right but there always seem to be some little things more interesting or seemingly more important for me to try... till the point that 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week does not seem quite enough and things will end up not done till the last minute~
If it is so accurate... does that also mean that it'll be true that things don't and won't come easy for me~?

Special Guest Passenger

Today on the bus ride home from school, there was a special guest on board with us... A mynah was accidentally trapped in the bus with us, and the bus drove off from the interchange, packed with the after-work crowd. The poor bird was so lost, and so distressed, and it flew up and down the length of the bus windows, sometimes flapping into heads and hairs... It was actually quite funny~! This bird managed to light up several smiles after the initial shock it gave to many people... It stopped flying after it realised it was not going to get out by flying about, and it quietly perched beside the bus driver for a good while, before the driver actually saw it there and opened the front door for this special passenger to alight... It wasn't a flying cupid but it did light up this Feb 14 for many fellow passengers...

Sometimes, we might be taken for a ride by Destiny... Feeling distressed, lost, trapped, but definitely not handicapped; wonders can still happen amidst the chaos. When the time ripens, in the right place, right time, doors will open and you can spread your wings and fly in boundless freedom~ Kel to Bro~.

My Pitcher Plant~

My pitcher plant (Nepenthes Ampullaria) grew its first pitcher! It's not big, but it's still rather cute and pretty~! Pity my other pitcher plant (Nepenthes × Hookeriana) still hasn't started sprouting pitchers yet... Patience and some more TLC will pay off I'm surely sure~

What Does My Birth Date mean?

The "What Does Your Birth Date mean?" application in FaceBook gave me this...

Kelvin Loke's birth date says this about him:
Things dont come easy to you, even though you have the potential and the caliber. Spiritually inclined, you tend to take a step back from the world in introspection. You're very sensitive to what's going on around you, yet you remain composed. Although you are brilliant, it may take you a while to find your niche. Your creativity is supreme, but it sometimes makes it hard for you to get things done (Sounds reasonable to me, maybe you can tell me how much of this is true~!)

Your greatest strength is: Your inner peace (Huh~?)

Your greatest weakness is: You get stuck in the clouds (Doubly Huh??)

Rat welcoming the Rat Year

Sneaked out for the last ride of the year, getting some much-deprived workout before the frenzy of reunion dinner... Great luck in having such fine weather to enjoy my first bike ride in the trails in 3 weeks? The trail had dried out just nice for me to enjoy railing the snaking turns and smoking the downhills on my rikety old girl... Until some stray dogs decided to start the Rat year with some excitement by giving me the Tom-&-Jerry treatment, with me being Jerry! The pack of 4-5 black mongrels decided to race me, and led to me discovering that my best riding skills only manifest in times of need... I had the chance to try going through this tricky, rocky, bumpy, off-chamber down-sloping left-turn kink at full-blast, both front and back wheels sliding aka Initial D... And I survived~! Surely the mutts snapping at my legs right beside me surely helped in this stunt... But come to think of it, it was pretty great fun~

This 3-foot long wild monitor lizard was much friendlier than man's best friends gone wild... It let me get within touching distance to kaypoh it, while it nonchalently got on with searching for tidbits among the leaf litter~
