Crab Culture

Something to think about guys, the irrational culture which crabs practice all-round. Have you ever wondered before why people who catches crabs, containing them in a dorm-shaped net without a cover on top of it, and yet, not a single crab will be able to escape (generally)?

Some explanation Meow Meow came across is this:

When a crab wishes to escape, climbing on top of some other crab, some other crabs will just tag along and climb on top of this one. And eventually, being selfish, the crabs are unable to cooperate and make all fall on ground effortless. Maybe that is also why Chinese have this saying about crabs is that crabs are heng xing ba dao.

What do we have to learn from this is that, if we don't help one another from the same situation, all of the involved will just be waiting to be "eaten". Think about it... (any situation, any one, any thing, generally)

Browsed Nick's blog and spotted this interesting stuff, pretty accurate Meow Meow guess. It is these kind of stuffs that really turns Meow Meow so attracted to Psychology study. It is so awesome (non-profitable way) to be able to understand signs and symptoms to human reactions, at least that's what Meow Meow think. Meow Meow give the above information 80% accurate and 4 out of 5 grade.

"Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy - remember, 'Everything comes to those who wait'.

You are not be feeling so good at this time. Everything seems to be getting on top of you. What you need is a rest from all of the the present trials and tribulations in peaceful surroundings and with someone - male or female, it doesn't really matter - who can really understand you and appreciates your needs.

You feel that you deserve far more than is being attributed to you, but there is no-one to whom you can turn to for sympathy and understanding. Your pent-up emotions and inherent egocentricity make you quick to take offence, but as matters stand you realise that you will have to make the best of things as they are.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!"

H. S. (Hectic Saturday)

WARNING: If you are not interested in someone's complaint, please do not attempt to read, understand, or comment on what is presented to the readers' eyes below. Thank you.


Meow Meow never had such a tiring Saturday for a very very long time. Meow Meow started the day waking up with three morning calls from one very close cousin, Y.B., at around 7am, 7.30am and 8am. And Meow Meow was like, eh, sleeping of course! It was first of all a Saturday to speak, and second of all, it was so god damn early (a usual working day timing) and last of all, Meow Meow had one of the most tiring and demotivated weekday that same week.

Waking up 8am of course (as I am late) and wash up, walk down the usual peaceful and quiet road along to blocks of apartment and down into the Jurong Point. Walking past the stretch of shops reaching Boon Lay Control Station in a jiffy 10-15mins. Late as usual with such a timing, The cousin group, consist of Meow Meow, Y.B. and W.H.. And hence the group traveled down to the kind of isolated area of NTU (Nanyang Technological University) for a very "motivational" (the exact same word Y.B. used to describe the morning event) and informational seminar by some experienced professionals in Investing and Finance.

Meow Meow really appreciated the seminar, but the appreciation could be better if the seminar wasn't so early. After really hours and hours of long cozy and bored session of information sharing, the whole seminar group of people who was suppose to join the Cash Trail was finally released for refreshments. Food was just food for Meow Meow that so damn very moment. And had them to satisfied the long hours of waiting and hunger. Felt soo much better after the little snacks and munches.

A little introduction of the Cash Trail event. Cash Trail is a resemblance of Amazing Race and Stock Exchange combined together into a "game". Basic instructions was: 1. Required to get to six stations with one is inside the NTU itself; 2. Make stock transactions just with the situation the of three fictional companies present state of management; 3. As of stock transactions, there is three activities to choose, to Buy, Sell, or Hold the stock; 4. In each stations, there will have a bonus question to be asked. Answer it correctly to earn an additional of $500; 5. The remaining 5 stations are scattered all around CBD (Central Business District) with only clues on cards are provided and we are suppose to guess where it is; 6. The last and final most obvious requirement is to reach OCBC Building by 4.30pm.

An amount of $100,000 (value) was given at the start of the event and there we the cousin gang left the area of gathering to the first station. In whole and all, we are both physically fatigue and loss in the areas. Mentally strained and practically hopelessly lost to the management's ability to hold out such an event. Accepting the fate that it is practically unfair and impossible to win with such a state of unforeseeable under-ruled game.

Out in all, the $1,000 did not belong to the cousin gang ultimately. Meow Meow knew for sure that Y.B. really wished to have that, pretty eager and willing to go through anything for it. Efforts wasted and all the group could do was console ourselves taking it as a cousin bonding session and that we enjoyed the whole trail and that we got ourselves nice lunch, informational sharing talk, and goody bag in the end nonetheless. Meow Meow got more then that, earned a blister on the left foot sole and thorn skin around the back of the ankle. That added onto the two more other portions of my foot abrasion from my reservist, my foot is kind of well "decorated" now.

Meet Woow Woow, Derek mistress and Hong Jun for dinner at Marina Square and had Japanese food. Not a bad place to dine in, and thus, quite enjoyed the moment. A few more bits of walking on top of all the walking the past few hours Meow Meow had went through. Meow Meow and Woow Woow decided to catch a midnight movie after that, and we caught "The Orphanage". Foreign cultured and horror movie, with few good scare and nice, wonderful story line. Finally watched a horror show with Woow Woow after a long long time, and this time, really really been a rare occasion when the audiences really SCREAMED.

Proceed home with Night Rider to Woow Woow place from the Cathay (walking again). And got home, Meow Meow thought the day couldn't get any worse, as the hour of rest is near, but no... Woow Woow's Jody, the fat ass dog, wanted to sleep in the room which Meow Meow sleeps. Meow Meow thought it was really ridiculous to have a pet in the sleeping room of masters, but no, it was as though the dog has pushed its luck and got what it wanted. Really really bad mood (no... is not just bad, but rotten mood) and felt so at daggers drawn with the stupid dogs Woow Woow had in his residence. Slept on a thin piece of cloth with sponge which is old and stained with dog's urine, which Woow Woow called it a mattress to aggravate Meow Meow's back and neck ache. Meow Meow could experience nothing worse than this ever... ~End

The Eye!

I went to watch movie "The Eye" with chris on Tuesday night after a very disappointing house viewing at Jurong West. The movie starring Jessica Alba as Sydney who is a blind musician who got a corneal transplant, but after the transplant, strange thing start to happen.

This is a remake of the Hong Kong of "The eye" with nothing much have change. Even thought the plot is the same, the acting is way different and of course the directing is also different. For the Hollywood version, it way more scarier then the Asian counterpart. The way the director make use of the atmosphere to make the movie scary in addition to the artist who make the movie scary.

Well, it is not without flaw of course! The plot is basically the same as the Asian version, so people can already predict what would happen next. This way it is the critical point or should you say a cons, as once the suspense is gone then the movie had already not achieve what a horror film should be. But nonetheless, the meaning that i interpreted is that some gift can be both a blessing and a curse, and that sometime you need to really trust someone even if i make no sense at all. It also let you know what it like to look at thing from the eye of another. This not something people can do! Don't you agree on this! Anyway, i would grade this show a 6 star, which in my opinion is a show worth watching.

A Peaceful & Calm Weekday

Everything was so great, it has been quite a very very long while Meow Meow have yet to experience serenity, calm, and ample of time to spend time with Woow Woow and do nothing more then some routines and the rest is left to feel each other's presence and nothing more. Woow Woow made a very wise and fine choice to spend time with Meow Meow, two days consecutively. To think that weekend won't be spending time together, it was a worthwhile deal to spend the time on weekdays.

Nowadays, Meow Meow feel nothing more strong than independence and freedom itself. Everything, or rather almost everything, Meow Meow have an idea of what should be done otherwise. A very overwhelming feeling has flooded my mind, a feeling of meeting all my friends, close secondary school friends, National Service (NS) in-camp training equivalent to BMT close buddy mates, Dip in I.B. (International Business) course mates, Asia City Publishing Group (ACPG) colleagues (my first Accounts job), etc.

Feel kind of different from the past a year plus, as though I went back to two years or so. That is so carefree and careless :P The only difference is that Meow Meow got Woow Woow and Woow Woow got Meow Meow already. I was told by some website that I'll be the guidance to other people's doubt, I'll try not to know what that means (though I know I'm experiencing it somehow). Anyway, I am all ready for anything that comes, I suppose now is my "off day" from the rest. Chill people and cheers, 2008 just started not long ago =D
