Cataloging the Cats

I think I might die from this job, since there are 19+4 cats. Yeah, that much. All 19 are neutered and/or spayed.

Imagine the horror of uploading 23 pictures onto Imageshack. Combining them together is fine, but the size will kill the 56kers.

Canon EOS 1000F N

The cameras are turning digital. I was fortunate, being able to use a film SLR (Singe Lens Reflex) camera. The functions are better, it is more stable (and still is) compared to its smaller counteraparts and the zoom - it kills! For as long as I can remember, I had been using the Canon EOS 1000 F-N camera. Imagine this scenario: handing your 7 year-old son an SLR that costs RM 1,000++. That was what dad did with me. And in the year 1993, how many dads do that?

Program dial/button/whatever. The sound offers 4 different melodies for the self-timer mode (believe me...)

...so long that it looked big. Of course, still short compared to what the paparazzi use.

So, how does it feels to let the pictures do the talking?

Why I Hate Certain Drivers

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Going to service the Perdana, I stumbled upon this road hazard. Can you believe it? Driving with the rear sunscreen up! How are my signals are going to reach him?

Everybody is cautious around L drivers. But when this happens, the L driver can't really notice what is happening behind him. I believe the instructor is the culprit in this matter. Not just L drivers, I've seen people without any P or L stickers driving with the rear sunscreen up.

Common sense is dead.

Grrr....

It feels as if Woody the Woodpecker is pecking the side of my head. Migraine is hitting again, this time in a way that I never experienced before. And yet having the time to write this entry. Crazy blogger.

Administration will be holding a meeting on Friday, of all the days. The agendas are ambigious, and they expect me to have it ready before the evening meeting. It would have been easy if they submitted it earlier instead of giving it to me today.

Shit.

Strange and Weird Search Words

While taking a look at my blog's sitemeter, I noticed a few links coming in from Yahoo! and Google. Though I did not pay for Sitemeter's search words function, analysing the url usually yields the words. Here are a few:

NSDS3: Whoever searched for this must be a stalker. Yeah. A stalker.

Assalamualaikum Blogspot: It seems the only logical response should be 'Waalaikumsalam Blogger!'

The Colonel's Diary: If you are looking for the Civil War book, it's the other branch of the fork on the yellow brick road.

Askar wataniah: I'm interested. Any recruiters?

MUET Malaysia: I will help the souls looking for more information on this one. Though I must say, I'm not the Ministry of Education's information booth or something.

LAPTOP keyBoARd PRobLEM: While some might find the information here useful, most don't. My only advice regarding the FN key is to not touch it for a few days.

And the cream of all...

Mona Fandey: According to Simon, "...Mona Fandey did not get executed. She’s living under a witness protection programme as a karipap seller somewhere in Temerloh..." End of story.
