Except for making donations, i must admit, quite regretfully, that i haven't been doing much for charity since my uni days. finally had a chance today to play a small part in Project Play Pack, and it sure felt good to do good! :)
PPP is a collaborative effort by Mediacorp Radio and Mercy Relief to help restore normalcy in the lives of children affected by the earthquake in Pakistan, which caused massive destruction when it happened last Oct. More than 73, 000 lives perished and millions were displaced, and among them helpless children, many of whom are homeless and/or have lost their families.
You can do your part to help them :) just make your way down to bishan junction 8 level 3, Top of the 8 (sheltered outdoor atrium), between 11am to 7pm, from sunday 8th jan to tue 10th jan and support Project Play Pack. For just $10, you can pledge a play pack which contains toys and stationery for the children of Pakistan. these play packs will be delivered to them end feb, and will surely bring much joy to them admist the adversity. u can also personalise and design greeting cards for them, which will be attached to the play packs. other on-going activities include a photo exhibition and stage performances.
do show your kindness and generosity if you can...it's a joy to receive, and even greater joy to give. :)

Happie New Year!
I hate year-end sales. ok to be more specific, i hate buying things at year-end sales. it's like the whole of singapore forgot to shop for the entire year, and suddenly everyone decided to hit the stores like there's no tomorrow. Sales are madness. Sales are shopping wars. If not psychologically and physically prepared, sales can leave u traumatised and bruised. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
when i finally mustered enough courage to brave the pandemonium for a winter down jacket that i've been eyeing, i had a rough idea of what i'm in for. crowds, queues, sweat, squeezing my way through, and maybe raising my voice to get the salesgirl's attention. at the shop, it was just as expected: throngs of shoppers trying to make their way around, even more shoppers flipping through piles of clothes that looked as if they were discarded rather than discounted, salesgirls in a frenzy, and the whole place was saturated with rowdy shoppers' banter mostly made up of people yelling "excuse me!", "ouch!", "sorrie!", "stop pushing!" and "can you get me a new piece?"
i wonder if aliens on another planet are getting a live telecast of the scenes at sales in singapore. if they're watching it on their tvs, they must be pretty intrigued. it's like reality tv. they could call it The Sale Survivor: outwit, outlast, outbuy. the aliens will be so entertained by us humans, they may even call off any plans to exterminate us.
i wanted to get my jacket asap and run home and hide. far from the maddening crowd. there i was, having finally laid my hands on the jacket, patiently waiting for the salesgirl to hand me a new piece in the correct size, when i was rudely jolted by a push from the back. this auntie was in such a hurry to goodness knows where that she simply shoved her way past me, without so much as a word of apology having bumped into me. wow. sales reallie do bring out the uglier side of singaporeans huh. i was reasonably offended, but more anxious to get myself and my precious jacket safely home - in one piece. so, in record time, i checked the item, paid and dashed out of mayhem. phew!
my lovely black jacket is now proudly hung up in my wardrobe, as a testimony to my courage and survival. victory!
wonder if anyone fears sales as much as i do? don't think i'm going for any in the near future. unless there's something reallie nice that i reallie want like that black jacket la. :P
OOH! 2006 is less than an hour away!! so exciting!! here's wishing each and every one of u a wonderful new year filled with blessings, love, joy, peace and good health. Happie New Year!!

Claws!
Inspired by Jaws, one of the most successful action thriller series in film history, The latest action and adventure blockbuster starring SNUGGIE the menace!
Synopsis: the humdrum lives of normal folks are rudely disrupted when Snuggie the menace claws his way through town! It is no longer safe to sleep without covering oneself with a blanket from head to toe - the cunning cat may just pick you as his next victim and sink his razor-sharp teeth into your skin! Clothes are ripped and torn by the coldblooded claws of the cruel culprit; precious items at home are toppled, shattered, damaged and ruined with a wave of his intimidating paw. He sneaks, he pounces, he leaps, and he scratches! Stealthy Snuggie creates havoc without any mercy, leaving his victims helpless and constantly fearful. When will he strike again? Will a hero emerge to stop the indomitable Snuggie from harming more lives? Only time will tell...
OUCH! Such ruthless scratches! Physical scars may heal, but pain and fear in the hearts of the innocent will stay as long as Snuggie is still at large...
