Not Pampering Myself Today
Published on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 by WishBoNe I would usually pamper myself on this day. This year, I didn't really pamper myself because I have given myself the early gift of perfect eyesight by Lasik. Expensive, that was. A few friends SMS me wishing me Happy Birthday.

Proof-read Your Reports
Published on Saturday, May 17, 2008 by WishBoNe Having studied a degree, writing reports is the next thing to proceed. You have to write thesis for the project for that final mark to gain that honours. It wasn't easy for me to choose a project from the list of term paper topics as there wasn't really a list.

Donations Be Damned
Published on Saturday, May 17, 2008 by WishBoNe Donations. Something that is being done most of the time during crisis. The Myanmar's encounter with Cyclone Nargis brought about an influx of requests for donations. Such is the time to request for money. What I can't understand is why don't they ever accept blankets, tents, clothes, food and other non-monetary stuff at such urgent times. [via Flickr] Isn't th... Read More »

Can Animals Predict Earthquakes?
Published on Friday, May 16, 2008 by WishBoNe China is a huge country. Days before the earthquake struck Sichuan, thousands of toads roam the streets. Water in a pond inexplicably shrunk. And animals in the zoo behaved abnormally just hours before the quake struck. The Chinese are now wondering if animals can predict earthquakes. However, when more reports of animals behaving strangely, such as on 24 Dec 2007, t... Read More »

Published on Thursday, May 15, 2008 by WishBoNe One would think that one would like to be healthy. However, this woman, takes the cake. She is accused of faking brain cancer in order to avoid going to work. Her scheme came to light when the "doctor's letter" was left on the printer of a neighbour. Her colleagues were so kind to donate their medical leaves so that she could rest at home too. What if one day, the ca... Read More »

My Favourite Family Routine
Published on Monday, May 12, 2008 by WishBoNe Family outings used to be great fun for us. We looked forward to Genting Highland trips as we would get to ride the bumper cars by ourselves. My mother would announce that next week, we will be going to Genting and I would pack my bag happily. A family trip in the long car ride was not the highlight was we would get car sick. We have serious motion sickness. However,... Read More »
