In case you are clueless of what's happening at Myanmar (Burma), let me give you a lowdown.
Last week, Buddhist monks went onto the streets of Yangon and began a small-scale protests after a massive mid-August hike in fuel prices.
This drew up to 100,000 people and at least 13 people were killed in the crackdown. More than 2,000 had been arrested, of whom nearly 700 had already been released.
The number includes protesters and supporters, but also simple bystanders who have all been accused of violating a ban on gatherings of more than 5 people.
Soldiers continue to enforce a curfew and raid activists' home overnight.
Now most Yangon monasteries seem empty, leaving neighbours to wonder if the monks have been arrested, injured or worse.
Pray for the country.
The apartment was in a much better state today, with the temperature dipped to around 25 degree C.
So, like a ghost buster, I took the vacuum cleaner to clear up the crime scene of dead flies.
It's good to be in control again.
Eliss touched down from Brisbane at 10.15pm. She was up there for work since morning.
We went for late night supper at our favourite restaurant at Beverly Hills again. The steamed abalone and oyster with light soy sauce and spring onion is just amazing, lor. Must bring you to try it one day.
A German scientist claimed that he have solved all snoring problems, with his latest invention of a computerized pillow.
The pillow shifts the head's sleeping position until the noise stops, by reducing or enlarging the air compartments built within.
I would probably get woken up by the constant movement of my head, before I get a chance to snore.
Mr Potato Head must be pretty high when Customs officers at the Sydney International Mail Centre removed a panel at the back of the toy.
They found 293g of ecstasy tablets inside.
So next time when your kids keep shaking their heads to your every questions, better check on their toys.
