Come take a walk on the wild side. Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain. You like your girls insane. Choose your last words, this is the last time. Cause you and I, we were born to die

Robbie Turner died of septicemia at Bray Dunes on June 1, 1940, the last day of the evacuation. And I was never able to put things right with my sister, Cecilia, because she was killed on the 15th of October, 1940, by the bomb that destroyed the gas and water mains above Balham tubestation.

Consider this your call to action.
I know that we all love this site as an expression of our individuality, but the fact of the matter is, we are under attack. And what we do is distracting us from that fact.
The American government now has all the records from Megaupload’s servers. Do you know…

It’s the period of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
That according to the Lunar calendar, it is officially the new year for Chinese.
This is a time of pure festive celebrations, sort of like Christmas but for my family , it places more emphasis on family reunion, gambling, eating awesome food for days in a row and exchanging of blessings.
Well, its mostly like that for several others as well.
So, a set of superstitions are attached to the festive occasion as well.
One of which was to disassociate yourself with anything deemed unlucky.
Other superstitions include:
- No sweeping of the floor during the Lunar new year period because it is looked upon as though you are sweeping away your luck
-No buying of shoes during the 15 days of the lunar new year because the term shoes in Mandarin stands for blood.
One of the biggest taboo were funerals during that period.
And most unfortunately, I had to attend on during the period and I did get an earful for it.
In fact, after the reaction of the earful I received, I decided not to tell any of the elder generation that I was going to attend one.
A dear friend of mine had to go through a tough period, and I am glad to say, I was there with him along with several other good friends.
Witnessing the entire thing, made me remember several issues and of course, made me think of a whole lot more issues. It made me view people in a certain light, made me discover more about my friends and myself.
It’s only at these hard times do you then know who’s really important in your life.
