Eeep
As I was about to start packing for NZ, I discovered a tear in my suitcase.
I was hoping it was superficial but that is obviously not the case.
I guess all that country hopping I did last December has finally done my bag in. Still, I am very glad considering I got 7 years faithful service out of it.
Right now I am thinking of getting an incredibly loud replacement... *rubs hands together gleefully* ... like pink with purple polka dots!... something that would be so embarassingly bright that no one else would want to claim it as theirs. Being able to spot it at a distance on a packed baggage carousel would be a major bonus. :)
MUAHHAHHAAHAHA!!
Losing my bag for a week (it went to Dubai. you can still see the sticker on it) has made me realise that black, grey and red are incredibly common luggage colours so I am hoping to get something unusual.

Birthdays
I turn a year older in about two weeks.
Been thinking of what to treat myself to. I have been tossing up between a Antiques Roadshow DVD (Not a show a lot of people go for but I love it) and ...... a hula hoop. Also toyed with the idea of jewellery for a bit. Right now the main contender is the hula hoop.
And not just any hula hoop. I want one of those thick, heavy ones made out of rattan that you can swing around for ages. I actually have one in Malaysia and I used to play with it while watching tv.
The only thing stopping me from attempting to bring my hula hoop over is the thought that it might be confiscated by Customs. Plus getting it to fit through the x-ray machines could be an issue.
So yeah. If I can find a rattan hula hoop in Australia, that will be my birthday present to myself. If not, a heavy hula hoop of any other material will also be acceptable.
Other than that, there is nothing else that I want. :) My parents, John and myTikusfromPerth are coming to visit very soon... and then I'll be off to NZ for a week! I am also very much looking forward to next year because... John and myTikusfromPerth are moving to Melbourne for good!!! *jumps for joy* :D

Dogs
On principle, I will never own a pedigree dog. Not when there are so many strays in need of a good home.
My parents look after a couple of strays in our area (we can't adopt because we already have the maximum number of dogs allowed for a place of our size). Recently a few of the dogs went missing so my dad went to the DBKL pound to look for them but did not find them.
He was told that dogs are put down within a week of being caught. The worrying part is that quite a number of the dogs there were wearing collars.
So if your dog goes missing in the W.P area, head to the DBKL pound immediately if you ever want to see your dog again.
I really hope our strays are all right. We have been taking care of them for more than a year and we watched all the puppies grow up. My dad especially loves dogs. He had our strays neutered, bought normal collars and flea collars for them and feeds them every day. On weekends the dogs even get treated to roti canai, char siew bao or roast pork.
I hope they are okay.

Temptation
Human nature is such that we are tempted to do what we are told not to.
Right now I am incredibly tempted to watch The Ten Conditions of Love that is being screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF).
Bizarre as it sounds, the Chinese government has been encouraging Chinese hackers to hack into the MIFF ticketing website because the Festival has chosen to screen the documentary about Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer. The site has been hacked twice so far.
I am sure the Chinese government's actions has caused the documentary to be more popular than it would have been if they had left it alone. Australians have a very "oh, up yours" attitude when it comes to external forces telling them what to do on Australian soil.
Update: Crumbs. I went to the ticket office this morning and the tickets were all sold out. :( Ah well, at least it reinforces my theory.
