Kerr’s Universe

With disappointment turning into contempt, the end is near…blimey.

Went to a dive shop with Alvin yesterday to check out a possible arrangement of a dive trip to Pulau Redang this coming September, during my one month leave. Haven’t been diving for 2 to 3 years liao and seriously have no idea which dive operator I should approach for such a trip. The other frens who are going diving with me is pretty tied up with work, so I guessed the burden of planning lies once again with me. Just that this time round, I have no idea where to start. Luckily, Alvin, who is an avid diver…well..almost avid diver, had all the contacts and hitched me up with this dive shop located opposite sultan mosque, which he highly recommended.

-

He’s right. The guy running the shop, by the name of ‘Anto’ is really a very friendly guy and in no time, we got most of the details checked out and though he doesn’t have any packages to Redang at the moment, he might be able to help me with some link up with a dive resort over there. Well, pretty much settled, I would think. Oh yesh, I have also arranged for a refresher course for myself next tuesday. Can’t imagine what would happen if I jump right into the water after not diving for the past 2 to 3 years. Don’t think I would want to put myself into that situation.

-

After that was dinner at a Indian food store. I had chicken beriyani for dinner and it was lotsa diving chat with Alvin who had a lot to share. I asked him on all the equipments and seriously contemplating to get myself a mask, snorkel, fins and probably up to a wet suit. Think it would be quite exciting when I go shopping for all these stuffs.

-

Actually, that’s not the main reason why I am happy. The reason why I was happy is b’cos I bought a book. Yup, once again, I think I have a "thing" for nice paper-back books. The smooth covers, somehow it just entice me to buy.

-

Anyway, alvin dropped me off at Raffles City and as it was still early, I decided to do a bit of shopping. Wanted to buy a pair of running shorts as I only have one pair at the moment and its pretty hard to run daily with just one pair of running shorts. So, saw royal sporting house and decided to pay it a visit.

-

The price is horrendous. Addidas is selling theirs at S$45 while Nike’s S$38. Hmm…do I really need such a good pair. S$45 can get me a refresher course for diving…plus all the moola that I would need to spend for my vacation month just round the corner, I decided, probably not. Walk around a bit more and decided that the shop I should go to is probably sports connection which carries the "FBT" brand of running shorts, probably going at S$12.90 or S$15.90, so its GOODBYE royal sporting house…guess its really for royalty.

-

MPH then came into view and since Sis still didn’t managed to get back her last 2 harry potter books from her friends, I decided to get myself a book. Seems to have burst my quota for the month. One new piece of clothing and one book per month…I already bought 3 books this month…well…

-

Was browing through the best seller lists and that’s when I noticed, I have already owned 1/3 of the books listed on it…mainly on Dan Brown’s series, another book called "The rule of four"…hmm…hmm…what should I buy. "Freakanomics" caught my eyes first. I have first come across this book when Kino was having their sale and I was surfing for a book to buy to take advantage of its discount…hmm…don’t look that interesting really…It was then this "not so well designed" cover book caught my eyes. (oh yesh, did I forget to mention that I always judge a book by its cover?)

-

The book titled "A short history of nearly every thing". Hmm…this would be interesting…there’s always so much that I would like to know but doesn’t much entertain the idea of doing so much research. This book would probably sum it up for me…I would have enough material to smoke about next time…GREAT! EXCELLENT!

-

And Kerr is happy…yesh…b’cos of the book that I’ve bought.

Many of you would probably disagree with the ending phrase, but this just for laughs…so….laugh…nothing to agree or disagree about…

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a >river,his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

-

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "No."

-

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your  axe?"the Lord asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

-

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.The woodcutter replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the man’s honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happily.

-

Old story…isn’t it ?????

-

> > > >Now read this……

One day while he was walking with his wife along the riverbank, the woodcutter’s wife fell into the river. When he cried out,the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

-

"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.  "Yes," cried the woodcutter. The Lord was furious. "You cheat! That is an untruth!"

-

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding.You see, if I said ‘no’ to Jennifer Lopez, You will come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also say ‘no’ to her, You will thirdly come up with my wife, and I will say ‘yes,’ and then all three will be given to me.

-

But Lord, I am a poor man and have had enough suffering with one wife… can you imagine how it will be with three wives!!? So that’s why I said yes this time."

-

The moral of the story is whenever a man lies it is for an honorable and useful reason.

I love fairy tales. Do you? Fairy tales are great, really, aren’t they? I mean, everything is nice and round inside fairy tales, villain aren’t half as bad, a lousy situation isn’t half as awkward and everything’s just so perfect and ideal. Given a choice, I would definitely consider a lifestyle change if I get to stay inside a fairy tale.

-

Bewitched tells of one such modern fairy tale, where a pure, sweet and innocent witch meet dumb boy who is so full of himself and yet so unsure at the same time. Falling short of being a jerk, though that’s what our female lead actress yelled at him. Things take the turn for the better and love blossomed between the 2.

-

Dumb but definitely chessy and farnie if you asked me. I totally enjoyed the show.

-

I’am sure the friend who watched the show with me would beg to differ, but well, this is my blog, isn’t it? Leave a comment if you really find the need to do so…:) I’am sticking to my point of view.

I’am not looking, so I’am not asking…

I have noticed, not once, but numerous times that the weather is working against me. Especially when I have made up my mind to embark on an ambitious outdoor exercise regime. Somehow or rather, the dates which I often choose would be met with overcast skys, thunderstorms, howling winds and worse of all, a change in weather which make me go down with a flu or fever. All these of course, would inevitably lead to an early termination of the grand plan.

-

Or perhaps, its just pure laziness that I am looking for excuses not to exercise?

-

Not entirely true I must say. Though I’am definitely not an exercise freak who needs his daily dose of exercise, else one might suffer from withdrawal symptoms, I’am definitely not one who shuns away from exercising. In fact, I have been exercising rather regularly (at least 3 times a week, if not 5) in the comfort of my division’s gym. (Yeah, the weather can’t get to me when i’am indoor).

-

Since it has absolutely nothing to do with laziness, then there must certainly be something wrong with the weather, since the hypothesis is only set up with 2 possible outcomes. (rather dumb to assume it this way though…haha…well, just for the fun of it)

-

It happened just last saturday. While, the entire week has been bright and sunny, torrential rain tored down my block last saturday morning when I have decided to go cycling that particular morning. The rain did not stop until late evening well after I reached the studio for salsa lesson. Well, miss mf would probably had hated saturday since she’s one who can’t be touch by raindrops, else she would melt (nah, just fall sick that’s all). This is just one classic example at how the weather would work against me.

-

Or perhaps there’s something deeper? I am not supposed to be involved in vigorous exercises? The weather is the divine intervention that is preventing me from being involved in vigorous exercises? hmm…could that be a possibility too?

-

Rubbish…

If it really doesn’t matter anymore, why do I still fix my gaze in that direction.

Just something farnie to keep all of you entertain while I think of what I can blog. Hahaha. Have a good weekend ahead.

- E-mail Query (from female user) -

Dear Tech Support,

-

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as EPL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Dear Desperate,

-

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

-

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly. WAV files. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

-

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

-

Good Luck,

Something interesting I thought, from a friend’s email signature.

THE SHOW SUCKS!!! No offence for those who thinks that its actually nice and unless I have seriously missed out some supposedly "deep" meaning which the show is trying to portray, I would stick to this. IT SUCKS!!!

-

Well, except for a few of the fighting scenes and quite a number of steamy scenes showing that we Easterners are probably as horny as the Westerners, even during the feudal past, there seriously isn’t much to the show. In fact, the shows get a bit weird along the way as everyone just seems to want to bang someone else or get banged. Hmm…I seriously think that I’am missing the supposedly impt point of the movie. But then again, it could just be a more artistic and covered up version of a soft porn show which people would coin it as R(A).
