I met a woman the other day and she had just returned from a shopping trip in one of the more sophisticated, swanky shopping malls. Gurney Plaza I think it was called. Branded expensive stuff screaming buy me or live without and be a nobody. Even a cup of yoghurt costs more than RM10.00.

An idle mind can be a dangerous thing. So too would be a man with nothing to do. It becomes worse when a man has an idle tongue too thrown in the package.

On the way home from the hospital, Mrs BB stopped by at our favorite noodle joint for some noodles-take-away. The reason being that it was already late and Mrs had another appointment that evening and Benghui was hungry. Ah Ming, gave Mrs BB a smile and then ignored her as he usually does. He gave me a brilliant smile.
