-->7 things I say the most:

-->1. Swim
how can a duck not know how to swim!

-->6. Cry
hmm honestly this is quite an impossible feat for many men

--> 2. Buy a plot of land in Malaysia (preferably a peat swamp forest) and keep it undeveloped for perpetuity
1) that sounds like what land trusts do in the US.
2) W always talks about just buying me a piece of land and not developing it but .... sometimes i really wonder if thats a good method of conservation. whats the point if u have a patch of rainforest amidst farmland or city! ARGH! i dunno... its not good enough of me. preservation is not the answer *angst* but refer to #1 again.

--> 5. Eliminate my beer belly
again, impossible. you like beer too much lor

-->7. Grow a nice stubble
argh don't bother i told u its ugly lah

-->5. I have an occasional fear that I will walk into an invisible wire that will decollate me
bizarre... but then again i visualize myself being knocked down by incoming traffic everytime i cross the road in front of my house

Alright. I'll do it.

      The remnants of Sintercom refugees who prefer free (and farking frank) speech to genteel euphemisms and self-censorship, minus the largely ball-and-brain-less rants of other alfresco kopitiams. I must also say nice things because it's run by mrs budak.
