on and on and on

the song touched by the band vast (visual audio sensory theatre) keeps playing in my head, especially that strangely compelling segue in the middle.

and i'm not in a hurry to get it out.

stare what stare?

if looks could kill...

with the flurry of nate posts on almost every other blog in our circle of friends, i think it's time to put out one of my own.

let's state for the record that this kid is one cute little bugger, and yes, there have been times when i've considered kidnapping him, but then he gives me the death stare and i meekly back down.

that boy can stare.

for a long

long

long

time.

and he seems to only do it to me, so now i wonder if i should be flattered.

or very afraid.

it seems like a compliment from a canteen vendor is all mike needs to change the name tag on his water bottle.

and like mickey D's, he's lovin' it.

all hail the king

this is just ONE branch...

that's right. ONE branch... of a BIG tree.

so what if the tree belongs to my neighbour, more than half of it has extended onto our side of the fence, and in payment for the sweeping of leaves, the durian gods have decided to bestow not 10, not 20 but upward of 60 fruit for us.

a hybrid of malaysian and thai durian trees, i have to say that this particular tree produces some of the most aromatic (or "stinky" if you aren't a fan) and glorious durian ever.

now all i need to do is to manage to slink away a few fruit for a tasting so the unbelievers will finally see the light.

ladies and gentlemen, the king has entered the building.
