I was rather disturbed with the story from Amy yesterday. She was in the room when her roommate told her that there’s someone outside the window, close to midnight!

Just this morning, my mom told me that a burglar tried to break in into my neighbour’s house through the roof. Luckily enough, the husband came back late and was in the shower when he heard noises coming from the ceiling. I guess he scared off the burglar when he shouted out loud the moment he realised someone was trying to break in into his house.

So exactly how safe are we nowadays? So what if we have grilled doors and windows, solid steel padlocks and high-tech alarm systems installed. Will it give us a peace of mind knowing that no one can ever break in, THROUGH THE ROOFTOP!? Thanks to these ‘Neighbourhood Spiderman’ as I’d like to call them.

My friend once told me that a burglar actually tried to grab her hand bag through her room window. So, is it safe to leave our valuables in the privacy of our own room?! Hmm… after hearing more of such stories, I guess not anymore.

Truth is, we’ll never be safe again. Unlike our younger days, when we can still go out to our neighbourhood playground with our friends, not having to worry about getting kidnapped. The ladies can jog anytime of the day without having to worry about being abducted, raped and murdered. Hang around outside your house, not having to worry about getting robbed right in front of your very own house! Those days are long gone.

Sad isn’t it?

While we curse and swear at others in today’s dog-eat-dog world, animals became more human than us. I recently learned that loyalty and faithfulness no longer exist in some human beings today, particularly some we called ‘friends’.

Here’s an article extracted from Thestar.com.my:

Dog saves woman from watery death

SEREMBAN: A dog seeing that its elderly owner was in danger of drowning, when flash floods struck Kampung Ulu Temiang yesterday, did the only thing it could do. It didn’t stop barking until help came along.

The woman, who suffers from chronic asthma, was on the verge of drowning in her wooden house, as flood waters kept rising steadily, but her loyal pet refused to leave her side.

However, most of her neighbours had left their half-submerged houses to seek shelter from the floods, resulting from a two-hour downpour which began at 2.30pm, and did not hear the canine’s frantic call for help.

The dog’s desperate barking eventually alerted a team of fire and rescue personnel, who aided by some neighbours, went to the house and found the woman, in her 60s, shivering and helpless, barely able to keep her head above the rising water level.

Bernama learnt that it was only when the firemen rescued the woman that her faithful dog left her side and swam to safety, proving that dogs are indeed man’s, or in this case, a woman’s best friend.

Even animals show more loyalty and faithfulness than some human beings. Are we worse than animals?

Please love and care for your dogs, for they can be more loyal than any of your so-called friends.

Julea sent me an email that contains an excel file that kinda tells your career through your name.

It’s lunch time now and I have 20 mins to kill. So I thought I have a try at it and I had a good laugh! My full name says I’m a Trained Assassin. So beware! *grin*

Unfortunately,

But at least I’m not a Penyembelih Lembu! LMAO!!!

Sorry love but this really cracks me up !!! *tears*

What I learn from this simple excel file is that you’re better off being who you are than to be what you really want to be. LOL

Yep, she’s my QUEEN

Then I decided to check out some of my friends. Here, have a good laugh!

Here, you give it a try. Download it here.

The YouTube girl has turned into a singing sensation and she’ll be releasing her debut album, UNFOLD online tomorrow and I’ve already placed a booking for a copy of her CD. And yes, I bought the original copy of course! :p

Marie Christina Digby is turning 25 this coming April 16 and she’s been writing her own songs since her high school days in LA. She plays the piano and guitar very well as some of you may heard of the acoustic version of Rihanna’s #1 hit, Umbrella. Yes, that was Marie’s rendition of Umbrella and I believe it’s much better than the original version.

She’s not just talented, Marie is actually quite a looker too. Ok, she’s HAWWWTTTT! She’s got that exotic beauty from her Japanese mother and Irish father. I used to think that Colbie Collait is the hottest but I’ve changed my mind. Marie is now my favourite hot female artist.
