LUCK
There are two types of luck.
1. You're lucky because good things happen to you all the time. You strike 1st prize in the lottery or Toto. You win a car in a lucky draw. A big boss spotted you and offer you a job with perks you can't refuse. The value of your house increase ten-fold right after you signed the S&P. You go on holiday to Japan, upon touching down at the airport, local tourism officials grandly welcome you and lavish you with gifts and vouchers and pay for your expenses because you are the 10th million visitor for that year. You reserved a deluxe hotel room but got upgraded to Presidential Suite upon checking-in because they overbooked. You are born with good looks and good genes.
Or
2. You're lucky because no bad things happen to you, yet. You got into an accident, but escaped with no injuries. The value of your house dropped right after you signed the S&P with the buyer. The flight which you missed, crashed. Right after you sold your stock at the same price you bought it 2 years ago, the market crashed. You forgot your wedding anniversary, but it's ok because your wife was too occupied with something else too. You managed to slim down after taking Slim 10, other people got liver damage and need transplant. You discovered a defect in the camera you bought within the warranty period. The bank got robbed right after the officer confirmed your deposit into her computer.
Looking back at my life so far, my luck belongs to the second kind.

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...
Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
