meeoowwwww.....



Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng on Wednesday said information, from both local and foreign partners, showed that the wanted man is still in Singapore.

the searches will be carried out in a more targeted and focused ways, based on specific intelligence and leads obtained by the police.

so which one is more embarassing: to admit he has fled outside of singapore or that they haven't found him?

meooowwwww....

who you calling small?

meooowwwww.....

a while back myo posted old pictures on his blog. today i heard from his niece they spent the evening watching tapes of past family gatherings.

i can't decide though whether it's just simple nostalgia or he's just longing for something missing. but i'm feeling a little insecure when myo starts comparing me to his two former playmates:


pungot ('archaic' malay for stray): myo's first cat. apparently this is a deceiving snaphot. she was a tyrant from the stories i heard. they missed the sequence when she bit that hand right after. yes, she was one feisty bitch who was loved nevertheless and stayed with the family for 10 years.


girl (yes, how creative...): this is the love of myo's life that i will not even try to make any links. stayed with the family for 12 years and went through hell. and i really mean that. abused by the neighborhood kids while out roaming the corridors and thrown 5 floors down. and survived. fell off the ledge 9 floors down to the concrete pavement and lived for another 4 years before finally surrendering to breast cancer (yes, we get it too).

oh well, i'm sure we each have our own special attributes and i like to believe i'm distinguished for being myo's first male cat and my toe nibbling is an art form myo can't go without. like that movie which myo caught earlier part of the day says: "a person's a person, no matter how small". cat, people... all the same... meeeooowwwww....

only hear the good stuff?

meooowwww....

i haven't seen much of myo the past weeks. he's been keeping himself busy with work and gym so he's only home when i'm already in dreamland. i don't even bother waiting up for him anymore. and he's out of the house before i can even do my toes nibbling routine in the morning.

but since today or rather yesterday was public holiday we did a bit of catching up and watched together on the computer. i learnt then that myo had a bout of loose bowels the past week so that explained why he looked a little wearied. and i've noticed that ever since going splitsville, myo's been down a little too successive. either he would be hit by the flu bug or an onset of a migraine. even his childhood asthma made a visitation after years of laying dormant. very strange indeed.

but he was cute doing the baby talk with me just now. pity he couldn't understand a word i was saying and chose to only listen to what he wanted to hear. i basically told him to listen to what his heart was saying, otherwise he would end up getting sick every so often. but myo construed that as me telling him to move on. what a cocky b@#$%&d this myo....

now speaking of interpretation, try to figure out what my friends are saying here



what they're actually saying is:



meooowwwww.....

horrified

meeoowww...

myo had a really busy weekend. he didn't even get home until this morning and from what i gathered from him today, he spent saturday morning rowing and took his first arabic class in the afternoon. and i also found a movie ticket stub in his bag for
and i heard him telling his niece that he preferred the earlier try for instead. i heard him saying that he was more stirred by the sound effect than the subject matter. myo's a fan of horror films, especially b grade ones just for hoot, but he's unforgiving with this one.

but across the causeway the voters seemed a little unbending themselves with the ruling party losing the majority and prominent leaders losing their seats too.

"MALAYSIANS awoke on Sunday to a vastly altered political landscape after voters suddenly and unexpectedly questioned five decades of political status quo and decided it was time for a change."

meoooowwww....

idolator

meooowww....

myo has not been following the new bunch of idol contestants. so he's really missing out on some interesting talents. especially that girl danny noriega. they should have just given her a record deal just for the attitude. here she is pre-idol



but my favourite is really this boy, David Archuleta, also seen here pre-idol:



now i wonder whether our local TV is going to bring back this competition here.

meooowwww...

repression

meooowwww...

myo just got back from supper and looking a little chipper. spent the day at the gym and did some shopping for that new pair of pants and more pull&bear tees apparently. he even managed to catch

and complained to me later that the book was more tongue in cheek than the movie. the film version seems darker and shifts the focus onto the iranian girl struggle with the cultural repression instead. somehow the dark humour of the comic book as displayed from the girl's disobedience to the constraints is not translated onto the screen.

and speaking of constraints, myo finally received the telco reminder for all singaporeans to be at one in looking out for the missing fugitive.

if you ask me, i don't think singaporeans are living in fear of an imminent danger. come on, how dangerous can a limping man be. besides there's no "information that he has any plans that threaten public security." singaporeans are more concerned how a crippled man breaks away and continues to be elusive.

"For a country that takes great pride in its non-compromising laws on detention, crime, punishment and terrorism, the escape of a terrorist, and the most wanted man at that, is a blot on Singapore's security machinery." (article here)

meooowwwww.....

de-classification

well you're the closest thing, i have, to bring up in a conversation
about love that didn't last, but i could never call you mine,
cause i could never call myself yours, and if we were really meant to be,
well then we've just defied destiny, it's not that our love died it just never really bloomed

for the longest time, myo's taste in music has always been partial to soul, r&b and even a little rap and hop hop. infectious beats with mindless lyrics. or rather, he's not one to pay much attention to the lines but more on the hooks of the melodies. fleeting and ends up skipped on his ipod eventually. they only serve to be functional during gym and the late evening jog around the estate.

but of late i've noticed music of a different genre in the likes ofand most recently



coming out of his earphone, when i greet him at the door back from the outside world. i thought it would just be something transient identifying music with weetzdom or even the random postings from perez. but something tells me it's more than just mere response.

actually, these days, myo's doing a lot of other things that defy previous classification. like taking up driving. finally.

pprrurrrrrr...

no more skinny jeans

meooowwww....

this is rare indeed. myo home on a saturday morning. caught him complaining to his friends on msn that he needs to go shopping for new pants.

myo has a strange fetish for pants and his closet actually hangs more bottoms than tops but i know this time it's not all indulgence.
is this good?

there is something almost iambic about the genesis of paranoia and the valor of deceit over a limping jail-breaker as seen in the past week's news highlights.
