Dragonfruit!!!

Parents went on a day trip to Malaysia today! They went to some temple to pray.

(Incidentally some number they recieved there, and the license plate of the tour bus, both came out in tonight's 4D.. or at least the permutations did. So never strike.. sigh.)

Anyway they had a stop off at some dragonfruit orchard. You know, the funny looking spiny pink fruit with the white and black flesh. And they tell me that dragonfruit is actually a cactus!

So, totally bored of studying, I went to find pictures of the dragonfruit tree.

Enjoy =) Pictures courtesy of The DragonFruit Site!







Sorry for the long loading times. But I think its quite cool haha. You learn something every day! (something non-studies related anyway.)

Hot, sweaty, dusty.

Just moved house.. what a mess. What a incredibly cluttered mess.

Can't believe I'm going to have to move again in two months or so. And yet again next year.

We really do build up the clutter as we move through our lives, don't we.

Driving home from golf

Its late, on a dark, rainy night. I'm driving home alone. Travelling along the scenic stretch of the ECP, the rain beat out an incessant stacatto on my windshield. Cars on the road were few; it was like driving in a empty, deserted world, in my own little liquid-walled cocoon.

I increased the volume of my cd player, attempting to distract myself from the rain's lullaby. And I heard the riff, so familiar to the world.

*Bum, ba dum dum dum, Ba da dum, Ba da dum, da dum, da dum dum*

And I sang along with Fergie and the rest of the crew, jiving and grooving, probably looking like a nutbag to any other drivers on the road. But thankfully, there were none.

Nothing gets me moving like "Where is the Love".

=)

P.S. Incidentally I'm suffering from three big-ass ulcers. So the Brewerkz Beer Chilli Bowl, while tasty, was excruciating. So I had to pack home the half-bowl I couldn't finish. And the next day, I promptly burnt it all while attempting to reheat it. Thats just like life, isn't it?
