The Skeptic's guide to the Paranoramal

Can a human being really spontaneously burst into flames? Just how deadly is the Bermuda Triangle? And what’s the real story behind all those alien abductions?
The answers to these and many other questions lie within the covers of The Skeptic’s Guide to the Paranormal. Guaranteed to liven up any dinner party, this delightful, highly readable book offers color photographs and scientific case-by-case explanations for twenty-seven phenomena that appear to defy known science, including ghosts and poltergeists, the predictions of Nostradamus, and yogic levitation, among many others.

Speaking directly to the reader, and always with respect for those who believe, Kelly gives us a bite-size, nonacademic approach to debunking hugely popular superstitions and mysteries. Did you know that you, too, can bend spoons and read minds? This book will show you how.

One of the books I loaned from library recently..it's surprisingly interesting although unfortunately i din get to finish some parts of the book because it's past the due date. =P

Some of the topics that might piques my attention...the loch ness monster, bermuda triangle, spontaneous human combustion, alien abductions and sightings, past lives, walking on hot coals and the shroud of Turin. (i am esp interested in the last topic bcos it's my first time knowing such a thing exists..and i ask two christian friends who told me christians among themselves were divided as to whether it's genuine..hmm..? is it really true?)

Halloween nite out

Was planning to go Sentosa Spooktacular last sat with Carrie, her bf and Benny.
But when we reached vivocity, the tickets were all sold out, boo hoo!

The website never said anything abt tickets being limited too..letting us make a wasted trip there..so disappointing...thought can have some good scares.

Since we were alry at vivocity, we might as well go to the nearest entertainment, Dragonfly.

Wow, it's been like a yr plus since i stepped into any such establishment..
The singers were not bad, all the waiters dressed up as chinese vampires..u know, those that goes hop, hop in old chinese horror shows.

There were quite a lot of people dressed up as vampires, school girls, wolferine, angels..including the singers and musicians on stage.

Overall, it's a good experience..slept at 5am tat nite..haven slept this late in a long while.. =)

pictures of my babies

okie, so these are our two spanking new bicycles!

His..

And mine...

I am quite proud of my own bike because it looks so ladylike, hehe.
Wah, I feel like i given birth to them..


But unfortunately, got this incident really dampens our spirits for the past 1 wk plus.

There happens to be an asshole living in benny's condo who has a habit of bursting all the bicycle tyres in the carpark.

Benny's bicycle tyre also got punctured 3 times while mine was punctured once.

Makes me freaking pissed when i think of it..the nearest bicycle shop is about half an hour away k, and we had to walk all the way with the bicycle.

Benny very poor thing, he had to walk 3 times there in a wk..
Fixed alry, 2nd day punctured again.
Fixed AGAIN, then the day before his bd, he discovered it's punctured again.
Just before we left for his bd celebration in jb too! ...waliew..mood nearly gone.

We, plus all the irate residents who also got their tyres punctured complained to the security office, but even thought the security guards go on petrol every one hr (or so they claimed), they haven't been able to catch the culprit.

I am guessing it's a teenager doing this for the thrill, and he shall be so further thrilled with a good, tight kick in the balls from yours truly.

That is, if I find out who he is.

Benny and I, we are both vengeful people.

Him: I hope he go and die.

(a moment later)

Him: I changed my mind. No need to die la, maybe just the let the hand tat punctured the tyre rot and fall off can already.

Me: Oh...i hope his son/daughter gets born without an asshole.

As i said, we r both vengeful people.
