26 April

I'm 20! there goes teenagehood. Am I what they call a (ugh) yuppie? I don't know and don't really intend to find out.

Since I'm not doing much by way of celebrating, I decided to find out all the happening happenings that happened to happen on this day in history.

1564 - Shakespeare was christened.

1933 - The Gestapo, the official secret police force of Nazi Germany, is established.

1986 - In Ukraine, a nuclear reactor accident occurrs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, creating the world's worst nuclear disaster.
1994 - Physicists announce first evidence of the top quark subatomic particle.

And i share this joyous occasion with:

1. Prophet Muhammed

2. this dude (baptised on 26 Apr, dunno counted or not)

3. this dude

4. and this dude

Yesterday was loads of fun. We set out on a 4km run at Paya Lebar Airbase, only to have it cut short by a thunderstorm. I saw the cutest tiniest rabbit in the bushes along the way..it's things like this that make running in a thundertorm worthwhile. When it got too heavy, we made a dash for a shack and were pretty much stranded there way past 5.30. And then - bless those kind souls - a couple of air force ppl drove by and gave us a lift to the PLAB entrance, from which we sprinted back to the office. It's interesting to note that the Air Force CAT 1 is highly accurate, compared to the Army one.

So I went back, dried up, changed and headed for the Cathay to watch 200 Pound Beauty. Now it's probably rare for a guy to gush about a really cute actress but she is so totally exceptional. I'm talking about Kim Ah Jung.

The movie was really good too, except for the obvious fact that it does end up glorifying plastic surgery, no matter what anyone says. Did I mention that the actress is exceedingly cute? And talented too. She did all the singing herself!
