What if I told you how this begger approached us while we were having our breakfast at McDonald’s, gave us a slip of paper, one side with an unfortunate property agent’s mug and the other side with 4 digits he probably wrote down earlier randomly, and only move on after YY reluctantly gave him $2.

Well, neither YY nor myself are avid gamblers so even though I made a note of the 4 digits, I never did got around making a trip to the Singapore Pools.

Guess what?

4 digits I’ll never ever forget in my whole life.

Bah!

Lazy movie reviewer day

What one will expect from a typical romantic comedy. Though I must say Sandra Bullock sure come a long way since her Speed days!

Lazy movie reviewer day

Quirky, enjoyable adventure movie, they could actually do more on the “travelling to South America” section. BUT I’d love myself a talking dog.

60 items limit? LAWL! I guess that’s probably for those scheming 2nd-hand bookshop owners (not that I have anything against 2nd-hand bookshop owners).

Expect it to be pretty awesome! See you guys there!

Addendum: Just curious, any chance one can find the Bible at the sale or does the library strictly not stock up on religious literature?
