A First for Everything...

I don't know how else to put it, but I killed something yesterday while driving in my car. I keep imagining the situation over and over again. Could I have stopped in time? Could I have done something else? No, it is what it is.

So what did I kill? A stupid crow sitting in the middle of the road. I called it a stupid crow because normally, birds fly away as a car or anyone approaches. But not this time. I was driving forward, expecting it to fly away at any second, but no, it just sat there. I tried to break, but I wasn't able to stop in time and that's how it happened.

Right before my car ran over it, the crow looked right into my eyes and a split second later, it was looking at the sky. I feel kind of guilty, asking myself why it had to die, but it is what it is, so all I'm left with is a sigh.

Sorry Mr. Crow...

Lost In Translation...

Yes, there are so many people at my house. My auntie and uncle from HK came over for vacation. They are probably staying for two weeks. I just found out this morning that my cousin from HK just flew over last night too. I haven't seen them for around 2 years now, so it's great to see them again. The only catch is that they only speak Cantonese and I, being the banana that I am, have quite a difficult time trying to carry on a conversation with them. When I don't know how to translate what I want to say into Cantonese, I either default to smiling and nodding or I pretty much start my sentence and then end with "I don't know how to translate" (in Cantonese, of course). I hope I survive the next 1.5 weeks...hehe.

Interesting Websites

I recently stumbled upon a website called StumbleUpon.com. This website basically adds a toolbar to your internet browser and through this toolbar, you can generate random websites on the internet based on your pre-set interests. This toolbar can be quite fun, but what really got me interested is the fact that through this toolbar, I was able to find a website that I had totally forgot about.

Many years ago, a friend (I forgot who exactly) sent me a link to this website where you can play various flash based games. This website is www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/. These games aren't the latest and best 3D games out there, but they do score off the charts for "cuteness". A great site for when you're bored (in class, j/k) or if you need a dose of "cuteness". ; )
