A trip to the Philippines will never be complete if I don’t pay Jollibee a visit. Too bad that I couldn’t get hold of Nelia. May the FOSS be with you Nelia! And Ela, have a great adventure in Manila!

Right outside Jollibee in the NCCC Mall (sounds more like a name for a spaceship to me), there was a 2nd hand books sale. Found a perfect gift for the Queen… a book entitled “How to live with a neurotic cat”. The 1st paragraph of the book goes like this:

And then God created a furry lump which for lack of a better name He called the Cat. He looked at His creation and shook His head. It wasn’t exactly what He had in mind.

You see, according to the book, there is strong evidence that cats are more superior to people in every way. I am just mentioning a few here… We have difficulty seeing in the dark and blink often. But cats can see in the dark and they can stare for hours without blinking. When it comes to hearing, a cat can save energy by turning its ears instead of its entire head toward the source of sound. Cats 67 million olfactory cells and can sniff out a tuna fish sandwich several rooms away but we can’t. Human beings reply on polysyllabic words and sentences to get thoughts across but cats make fewer sounds but the gets the point across just the same. Human beings come only in black, white, yellow and red with no patterns, but cat comes in variety of colours with stripes, spots, rosettes, rings and patches. And most importantly, a cat has nine lives and a human being has only one.

Come to think of it, I feel that cats can rule Bolehland better than the crooks.
