it's been raining a lot recently;
i love the rain.
the smell
the sound
so mysterious.
so nostalgic.
- as i close my eyes, letting raindrops pelt against my face. embracing the moment whilst my mind dances in the puddles of imagination; inadequacies of my past, misconceptions of my future and the boon ( no pun intended tim) of now.
meh,what a gay moment.
It's the 21st of August, 5 weeks or Uni feels like an eternity of work.
But, as always, Mr khum chan here always finds time to unwind.
And the results include winning $200 at the Casino. -blink-
That's with a base capital of $50 mind you.
Impressive for 1 hour worth of bright lights, ciggie smoke, drunk players, talking to a funky dealer and finger therapy, right?
Gotta love Black Jack or as the dealer says, "Treasury 21 Sir!"

Went to the Ekka last week. It's was, as usual, ghastly over-priced, crowded, hot and cattle smelling. The company however, was fantastic. Other than the $3.40 bottle of coke which i purchased, the time spent there was quite fun la. Rode this kick ass ride aptly named the Claw because after you ride it, you feel as if your insides have been clawed inside out. Like #%^&^!*@%! kinda feeling. Everyone felt this way, Jodie, Kelly, Felica, Momo and myself. Sweet.

Mr Ed went berserk.
And so it is, like they said it should be,
never kick a horse while it's taking a piss.
Not that it was intentional...and so the story goes,
The horses were crossing a river, but this particular horse stopped when it came to the edge of the river. Naturally the rider thought the horse was afraid to cross, and gave the poor horse a good kick on its sides not knowing that the horse was, infact, pissing into the river. Hence after finishing pissing and many kicks at its side, the horse went, well berserk and nearly threw the rider off.
So lesson learnt: never kick a horse while it's pissing; even if its doing so into the river, which runs to our water supply for drinking and bathing.

If you're a novice rider, try to avoid trotting on a horse, especially if you're a guy and you honestly cherish your testicles.
