OH HAI TI

Advanced Meditation 101


Hamster weekly update: The Ms Robos have settled in nicely, and have exceeded 90000 spins on their wheel in less than a week. They've even managed to be egalitarian about it, taking turns to kick each other off. Mr. Ham has gamely responded to their challenge by biting away the pedometer wire on his ride, which at last count displayed the grand total of about 300.

Befriending roborovskis is a tall order, however - even a honey star is not sufficient to tempt them to one's hand, although they are eager enough to devour them when left in their food dish.

Abruptly switching tracks, I haven't been following much of the just-concluded YOG, except the football, and whatever one says about the Haitians, it has to be conceded that they are... professional. And by professional, I mean cynical; Then again, as the years go by, the history books will remember Haiti as the ones who got the silver, and they'll be feted in the same manner as it would be cool to have a bloodthirsty pirate as an ancestor; No-one remembers the honest sailors that walked the plank (or made movies about them).

The Games were an eye-opener for me on the state of local footy, and I would be extremely interested to watch this crop filter into the national squad in five to ten years. Hopefully they won't get squeezed out by "instant Singaporean" imports when the time comes...

The EPL continued to exert its hypnotic lure, in a logic-defying kind of way. Consider: On the first day, Man Utd 3-0 Newcastle and Aston Villa 3-0 West Ham.

A week later, Newcastle tonked Villa 6-0. Wtf?

Come to think of it, I should try to model EPL results. Might make for a publication if the findings are not too promising.

Current status: P$210/P$200, as United stumbled against Full Ham in addition to Villa's utter uselessness. For this week:

P$100 on Chelsea to beat Stoke (at 1.07) - looks as close to a certainty as can occur in practice
