Last week, my father and I were at a 7-11 store. While I was standing in line to pay, my father was still going up and down the rows of shelves apparently looking for something. He started looking carefully at the items near the counter.. I asked him what it was he was looking for. When he told me, I burst out laughing:
You don't get chewing gum in Singapore!! :D

I just heard on the radio that Stephen Hawking intends to retire as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a professorship held before by Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Babbage and Paul Dirac (though not together at once).
I'm flying off insyaAllah tomorrow morning to Singapore for an interview scheduled for Monday afternoon.

In life we face challenges. Some people feel tested once in a blue moon, while others undergo trials everyday. But as they say, "What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger".
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
- Eleanor Roosevelt, US diplomat & reformer (1884-1962)

{sweetness}
I try to wash my car every week. Most times I succeed, but it has occured once that I didn't do it for almost a month. When I clean my car, I insist on doing both its inside and out. I almost always do it alone, and I've never brought it somewhere else and paid to have it cleaned. Not that I love my money so much, but we always clean our own cars.
First, I take out a cloth which I keep in the boot and use it to wipe all interior surfaces: dashboard, sides, etc. After that, I take out the foot mats and 'rampak' them (give me the word!). I hoover the seats and the car floor, all the time with loud music coming from the car stereo. After that, I put the mats back in.
I then switch the stereo off, close all the doors and raise the wipers. Sorry conservationists, a lot of us still use the garden hose when washing the car and when gardening, myself included. I give the car a bit of a shower, whilst removing any loose dirt and grime with my hands. Then comes the sponge and shampoo. Then I rinse the shampoo off, and wipe the car dry with what do you call it? That absorbent material that you use to wipe the car dry. Haha
If I 'chill-chill' then I'll have it done in an hour. If I work hard at it, hmm.. The whole thing might probably take between half an hour to 45 minutes. I know, slow. I then put the wipers back down and move the car back into the garage. And oh, I do the wheels as well and sometimes after the car has dried I do the tyres too. You know, shine them up.
