The 3 Musketeers

They came. They saw. And they flew out this afternoon. The house seems unusually quiet now without  the craziness of having the 3 musketeers around and the din that follows them wherever they go! Even Cooper noticed the difference. He's been popping his head every now and then into the guest bedrooms and even the toilets looking for them. Doncha worry Cooper. We'll be having another set of visitors in 2 days' time!

Where is my brain?

I lost my brain some time between 2:30pm and 3pm today.

2:30pm
I was holding a folder containing 2 slips of paper that needed my landlord's signature. One of his maintenance staff, Malino, was over at my place to fix up a broken window handle.

2:45pm
Made small talk with Malino. He speaks pretty good English and he was suitably impressed with my smattering Bahasa.

3pm
I looked down in my hands and I realise that I wasn't holding onto the folder anymore. I must have left it somewhere in the house but I couldn't find it anywhere. I had it 5 minutes ago. It was not in any of the bedrooms, kitchen, toilets. I looked everywhere. I even checked the freezer. I can't, for the life of me, remember where I last placed it.

Where the hell is the folder?!

I headed to one of the local malls hoping to buy some handicrafts. Didn't manage to get any since there wasn't a good selection plus they weren't exactly very cheap. Instead, I stumbled upon a second hand bookshop and found some English novels going for a really good deal. Picked up a couple of books by Wilbur Smith and Robert Ludlum for 5,000R each. That works out to be about 80 cents each. How about that!

Why the Chinese and Indians are not in the World Cup?

Peter Russells has the answer. It's too funny.

Little Miss Fortunate

My sister recently was involved in a fender bender. Some fool driving behind her was dreaming and crashed right into her car. He basically used the car that my sister was in as his braking aid. Yes it was unfortunate that she was involved in an accident but things like that happen. The good thing is that, despite all that drama (being admitted to the hospital overnight to have her neck checked out, then making a police report because she was given 2 weeks' worth of MC and then finally making the insurance claim), she was alright. Nothing like 2 weeks' worth of rest won't cure. Hence the title.

I know she'll probably not talk to me for at least a couple of years for putting this photo up but it's too funny not to. She looks equally pathetic and adorable (kinda-sorta) at the same time with the sad looking neck brace. She has to wear it for the next 2 weeks. So if you don't hear from me over the next week, my sister has probably killed me for embarassing her over the world wide web.

Yikes. My iPhone.

I dropped my phone so many times that I've since lost track. The most recent was when I was at the bank. I was juggling so many things in my hands that my phone slipped and landed with a loud smack on the floor. This was the proverbial last straw that broke the camel's back because when I turned my phone around, the screen was completely shattered. Oh... the heartache!

This is what I did to my poor phone.
