Mouse and Pussies.

I don't know what I want in life.

And this brings a conversation with Neofik the other day

Cherub says:

then wat exactly is ur passion?

Cherub says:

surely there must be something concrete

neofik says:

i dun know...

neofik says:

that's why i realy envy those pple who know what they wanna do

neofik says:

even if it's selling bread or whatever. at least they know what they want

I don't know what I want. Sigh. Paris Hilton, Yan Cheng Lin or Jia Jingwen?.

From the speaker at the World Bank Forum, which I attended recently.



Half the languages of the world are spoken in Papua New Guinea (PNG)

Thats 800 of them, languages, NOT dialects.

(From this website (which shows all the languages of PNG), its 832 languages, out of which 823 are living languages, and 9 are extinct)



Its has the only capital that he knows of, that has no roads connecting out of it.







You see tiny Australia below it? Man, PNG is a huge country, and with only 5.4million people, density per square metre is only a low 30.

Real estate ought to be cheap there. :)

[to avoid this registeration process, bugmenot, anyone?]



Guys, repeat after me: two steps foward, one step backwards......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~







Mickey mouse, one of the most favourite character.



Wait....do you realise that, he's a.....





....rodent?



This is the mouse that makes girls scream and run. And 小叮噹 (Xiao Ding Dang), our fearsome robatic cat will probably run away like hell.

And of course Garfield will probably chat and dine with the mouse.



Okok, thats not the point. My point is, Walt Disney is really making lots of money successful with Mickey Mouse.



Think about this, one of the most hated enemies during the era of SARS.....

the irritating, dirty little fellow....

the rodents that produces shrill screams from ladies everwhere....



and he is made into one of the most popular known character of our era.



Think about this...When is the last time you watched a Mickey Mouse cartoon?



I don't know about you, but i can't remember the last time I watched a cartoon that mickey mouse appears.

In fact, most of the kids nowadays probably never seen a mickey mouse animated show.



Beautiful right? Hello Kitty too, is a marketing babe. No cartoon, no film, no comics.





BTW, they are back at McDonalds Singapore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



And speaking of pussy cats.......I'm reminded of the fearsome cat that entertained me when I was a teenager.

in fact, the only chinese comics I ever read......



小叮噹!!!



Heh. Our favourite cat of all times.

Its like, the perfect pet lor. It has everything inside its pockets, u can be invisible, fly around, do magic.



In fact, I think 大雄 (Da Xiong) is really a dumb ass. With a cat like that, how the hell u can fail to get the girl?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



And then, we have Garfield, the cat that is just too lazy and fat to chase a mouse.





Sometimes, they have fun together





Oh well. He's my favourite lump of orange.
