The house is not shaking because it was built on a firm foundation. And besides, the railway is about 2 kilometers away. This can only mean one thing: Termites. And I hate Termites. I also hate Silverfish and Mosquitoes but Termites is right at the top of the list.

If you look at the keyboard layout, the function keys are way up above the QWERTY keys while my lazy hands like to just comfortably lump themselves at the bottom.

I thought the metal frame would have lasted longer but unfortunately, I was wrong. The problem with my getting new frames/ glasses has been quite annoying for the last decade because I seldom return to the same shop after each breakage incident. It was either my luck or, that the frames I've chosen never last.

It's more than three weeks and now, it is time to reflect on my new mouse. In the past, I have used weird ones like:Trackball This was a fun one. It literally saved my wrist and table real estate.

Most of my Friends would have been warned on their postings due to this 'Guideline'. Many lamented that their posts were either gone or, they were in FB Jail. So, we are not allowed to say or post things that will upset the Community. And frankly, I am still upset, in fact, seething.

(This was a very bad habit which I've developed since I discovered Science Fiction and Fantasy novels decades ago.)

The first thing we noticed after coming out from the SouthPoint escalator was Don Don Donki.

Maybe fat isn't the word I was looking for but I would feel when the word obese was being mentioned. I actually did not notice I was fat until when I was about 11 or so where the metal clasps to my short pants always come undone.

From taking the Bus to the Tuition Centre, to the other Tuition Centre, to some shopping malls and even walked back home.
