Day 07: Bugs and Rain
October 24th, 2008
Thanks for offering to be my guide/company and for enticing me with promises of free drinks/food/tour/not being psycho. We could do drinks this weekend or something, since I’ll be around. Anyone up for it? You pay for drinks, and I’ll smile a lot and try not to think about crushing your skull with my bare hands. 
I think I’m catching a bug. The Singaporean bug. See, every time when I walk behind someone who’s walking too slowly I get agitated enough to want to stab the idiot in front of me with a pen. Or stare really hard at the back of his head, willing my irises to shoot out laser beams into the idiot’s skull, obliterating him into a mountain of dust. Ohmygod I better not lose it. Next thing you’ll know I’m looking forward to the weekends to shop along Orchard Road. ARgh stop me now before it’s too late!!!!
It’s been raining almost everyday here. My tiny umbrella isn’t working so good, might have to buy a new one soon before the rain rips it apart while I’m using it. Speaking of umbrellas, I came across this really cute thing which I’m certain will never happen in Malaysia. One shopping mall was offering umbrellas to passersby’s who had to cross the open road to get to the next one. So the passerby would be offered the umbrella, then he’ll use it to cross the road, once on the other side, he passes the umbrella back to the other guy who works at the other shopping mall. Cute concept no?
Heh. A couple of people thought I was no older than 24-25. Flattered like mad leh
And for some strange reason, I’ve always thought tortoises were amphibians. They look like they are more related to lizards, frogs and newts more than crocodiles don’t you think?
Goodnight!

You haven’t seen the alligator snapping turtle then!

omg i miss u..fsater come back
beware when you are offerred free drinks. singaporean men are very ‘ham sap’ one. take upskirt pictures and such…
Tortoise are land animals. Turtles are the ones that live in water. Which are you talking about???
Both are related to lizards and crocodiles.
In Zoological terms tortoise and turtles are reptiles and NOT of the class amphibia (which consists of frogs, toads, salamanders and some New Zealand creature whose name I can’t remember … no, I don’t mean Golum).
Under the colloquial term ‘amphibian’ applied to ‘animals that are able to live in water or on land’, the turtle would be classified as an amphibian, the tortoise would not. (Though under that term crocodiles, water dragons and many other creatures are amphibians).
But, I assume you are talking in terms of classes of animals, as you speak of them being related.
Easy way to tell an amphibian (class) animal from a reptile is it’s skin, type of eggs it lays and where it lays its eggs.
Reptiles - Scaley skin, hard eggs, lays eggs on land.
Amphibian - porous skin (for taking in water), soft eggs, lays eggs in water.
Amphibians rely on water a lot. Even in deserts etc where soem toads live, they need to burrow underground and keep their burrow moist to survive. It’s very easy for amphibians to dry out very fast if left in dry areas with no water.
free beer! Woot! seeya next week!
lizards are not amphibians either -_-
Maybe the next couple of weekends? This weekend I will be in KL. Splitting the bill though. Hehe
I really love how you can describe all the cultural differences of msia and spore, honestly, my family live there, and despite going there almost once in 2 months, i never notice this sorta stuff, except for those bloody long queues outside Louis Vuitton & Gucci.
I don’t like it when people walk slowly in front of me too. Haha. =P
