Goosebumps Night

Yesterday night, I reached home after work - around 11:30PM. I was very tired and sleepy. Was climbing up the staircase (my room is on the second floor) with head facing down (you'll know what I mean if you used to climb up second floor after a tiring day). Once I reach the 'top', I saw a tiny cooked rice on the floor. I was thinking who had his/her dinner upstairs? In my heart was saying:" Brother is now working in Singapore, Mom sure won't do so as she doesn't allow us to do so. Then who else??? Must by Jimmy Yap!" Lately Jimmy has been learning how to use computer to go online and has been hijacking my computer very frequent. His favorite website is "Macau Jockey Club" and "The Hong Kong Jockey Club". For what? To get "tip si"(Tips, forecast or prediction) for one of his weekend entertainment in Sungai Besi. Ohhh yah...I haven't tell you who is Jimmy Yap right? But I bet you are able to guess....Yes, Jimmy Yap is Ablert Yap's father.

OK OK....Getting out of topic already...Back to the topic now.

After this logical investigation on who dropped the tiny rice, without second thought, my finger was moving towards this tiny little rice to pick it up and show to the lady in charge as an evidence to accuse Jimmy for eating upstairs. Just before my finger reached the tiny rice (approx. 1 CM from it), I shouted loudly inside me, "WAIT!!!! STOP!!! THE RICE IS MOVING!!!!!!! In less than 0.5sec, my hand bounced back and I moved nearer to see what the heck was that.

And this is what I saw.....

A closer look....




Then I saw a second one crawling not far away from this. The next thing I did was searching for the third one, but couldn't find any. The WORST THING is, I saw another one this morning just about the same spot I found the first one yesterday night!!!!!!!

Mom has been searching the second floor whole night, and I was searching again this morning. There is nothing...There is no weird or dead body smell...I don't even know where it comes from, probably the roof?? I might climb up the roof to check tonight if I found a forth one.

Anyone know what on earth is this??!?!?!

Hopefully I will not see a forth one tonight when I am home.....Scary shit!!!!

Tachymeter


This is the watch I've been wearing for years. All these times I was thinking this is just a normal chronograph watch that I can use it trace the elapse time of a moving object (e.g. 100M Sprinter, car, etc.) beside the main function of a watch.

Only until few days ago a friend of mine asked me what is the meaning of Tachymeter that written on your watch? That time, I was like Tai Chi(太极) meter??!?! My watch plays Tai Chi?!?!

Then he pointed to a small wording on the dial of my watch. Then:
Me:"ohhhhh.....that thing ah....I tak tau worr...(I don't know)....wahahahaaha...."
Friend:"Then why you wear buy it"
Me:"It is a gift wor....and I never bother about that word, I was thinking it is just something to make your watch looks complicated and expensive, in fact it has no use one."
Friend:"Do you think this brand of watch will need to use this kind of tactic to make the watch looks grand? There is sure an usage of the dial"


Actually I did ask myself what is Tachymeter during the 1st day I got this watch, but I just didn't bother to go find out. So after hearing what my friend said, I have to agree with what he said. I and rushed home to google it. Finally, I've got the answer!!!

I am not going to tell you what is the usage of it here in my blog as you can find it yourself online, else this post is just too long for reading. What I want to point out is, we should be more observant to all the things around you even some tiny little things. You might not think it is useful or worth your time to go find out at that time, but you also won't know this tiny little things might makes you look a little bid smarter than others and give you the dream job you are applying for....Think about it.....


Can you see the small Tachymeter word and some scales beside the dial?
