Just a couple of random thoughts in my brain:
I've become the person my brother uses for quotes in his line of work, whether I actually said them or not. Does this constitute identity theft?
Sometimes, when you are having a bad day, at the end of day, could be around 11:50 pm, something good happens and you think, "Hmmm, maybe today wasn't so bad after all." Talk about last minute redemption
Why is it the more you want something, the harder it is to get? I worry than when I finally do get it, I would realised that I didn't really want it in the first place. Talk about wasted effort.
Natives of the forest chop down trees. Timber barons chop down trees. Assuming timber barons didn't exist, trees would still be chopped down by the natives. All populations grow. At some point, there would be so many natives chopping down trees, there would be no trees left either. I guess we just accelarated that process.
A fat man who bends over and shows the world his butt crack is considered disgusting. A fat woman? It is still disgusting. Just coz it's a woman doesn't make it any better. There is a reason the average butt crack remains hidden from sight.
Modern man is too dependant on machines. The vaccumn died and suddenly cleaning the house just became 100 times tougher.
Which came first? The man who invented the high heel to torture women or the woman who invented the tie to torture men.
It is 33 to 35 Celcius on a regular day in this country. For some unknown reason, the men have to wear shirt and ties and the women business suits. So they get very hot and the air-conditioning has to be turned up or everyone dies of heat stroke. Why not just let everyone where polo tees or other casual (less heat generating stuff)? We would save on the time spent complaining about the heat and the electricity bill for the air-conditioning.
Lastly, does it really matter where the cow produces the milk comes from or where the milk is processed? I figure the processing does more to the taste than the cow ever could. So what's the deal with the Australian milk packaged in Indonesia and sold in Singapore???

National Day Parade Rehearsal 2005
This would have to be the unlikeliest place (to me anyway) that I would have ever expected to be writing an entry to this ridiculous blog of mine.
Where and why?
On the 33rd Floor of an office building, my place of work, with a bird's eye view of the Padang, where about 50,000 people are sitting and watching a rehearsal of the upcoming National Day Parade, being encouraged by cheerleaders ( I kid you not) while here I am, as disinterested as any human being could possible be about the National Day Parade and I have one of the best views in the house. Also, it's a Saturday at 5:35 pm and I'm at work!!!!
So what can I see of the National Day Parade from where I sit? I see a circular stage in the middle of a rectangular field, with seats on 4 sides and a road along on side of it. The bands are along the 4 quarters of the circular section and as far as I can tell, there's a whole lot of people of the field just running everywhere. They look like ants when you start trying to kill them, running everywhere.
What else can I see or hear? Well, everynow and then, whenever the annoucer, who by the way speaks like an "American", the whole crowd cheers. I doubt they understand him coz I think even his poor mother would have trouble understanding him.
The Surpreme Court building if finished. The flying saucer is firmly entrenched on the roof. Wish they had bother to take it away but I guess, it fits, coz everyone already thinks the judges are from another planet and now have a building to prove it.
The little ants have run of the field but for the last 10 minutes nothing has happened. The announcer is still announcing but no one has come on. No planes have flew past. Nothing!!! And the crowd cheers at nothing again.
Oh wait, they have started to sign a song.....a really bad song.....an excruciatingly bad song.....I think I will shut my ears off right now.
Oh well, I'm bored and I'm sure whoever is reading this is also bored so I'll stop here.
