I am writing this entry with heavy heart & sadness.
Yesterday I received the most shocking news I have ever heard & still unable to accept. My close friend, Sonny Long, died in his sleep last morning. It shocked many of us. We are still in disbelievement and we unable to make it sink into our minds. Too much emo too many unanswered questions running through my mind.
I really unable to continue this entry as I am afraid tears will start to fall.

Fuck Off
I almost got knocked down on my home this evening. Nope it was not a vehicle but by a damn bicycle. What the damn fuck is wrong with these people? The pavement does not fucking belong to you!!! It's for pedestrians like me who walk on them!! To make matters, that fucker did not even apologise!!! What the fuck!! Didn't your parents teach you bloody manners you stupid fuck!! To make it a double whammy, it was those Chinese workers!!!! Argh....... I am not gonna start....!!!
This is not the 1st time happening to me!! On Sunday, I was jogging on a pavement, almost got knocked down by some young punks!!! They were smirking all the way!!! Bloody fucking hell!! If I not so happen to turn around to check out a cool car, think I be lying on a hospital bed now! A couple of other near death experiences with foreign workers with wheels from hell before these!!
I think next time I will report police....

Top 10 Money Drains
It's easy to fritter away money on daily expenses. If you fall into these money traps, learn to avoid them and pocket the savings.
1. Coffee -- According to the National Coffee Association, the average price for brewed coffee is $1.38. There are roughly 260 weekdays per year, so buying one coffee every weekday morning costs almost $360 per year.
2. Cigarettes -- The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids reports that the average price for a pack of cigarettes in the United States is $4.54. Pack-a-day smokers fork out $1,660 a year. Weekend smoker? Buying a pack once a week adds up, too: $236.
3. Alcohol -- Drink prices vary based on the location. But assuming an average of $5 per beer including tip, buying two beers per day adds up to $3,650 per year. Figure twice that for two mixed drinks a day at the local bar. That's not chump change.
4. Bottled water from convenience stores -- A 20-ounce bottle of Aquafina bottled water costs about $1. One bottle of water per day costs $365 per year. It costs the environment plenty, too.
5. Manicures -- The Day Spa Magazine Price Survey of 2004 found that the average cost of a manicure is $20.53. A weekly manicure sets you back about $1,068 per year.
6. Car washes -- The average cost for a basic auto detailing package is $58, in a recent report done by a survey. The tab for getting your car detailed every two months: $348 per year.
7. Weekday lunches out -- $9 will generally cover a decent lunch most work days. If you buy rather than pack a lunch five days a week for one year, you shell out about $2,350 a year.
8. Vending machines snacks -- The average vending machine snack costs $1. Buy a pack of cookies every afternoon at work and pay $260 per year.
9. Interest charges on credit card bills -- According to a survey released at the end of May 2007, the median amount of credit card debt carried by Americans is $6,600. Rate tables on Bankrate.com indicate that fixed interest rates on a standard card average 13.44 percent. Making the minimum payment each month, it will take 250 months (almost 21 years) to pay off the debt and cost $4,868 in interest. Ouch!
10. Unused memberships -- It has been reported that the monthly service fee at gyms averages between $35 and $40. At $40 per month, an unused gym membership runs $480 per year.
