I was at my mom's place for dinner the other day. We were
standing, and chatting halfway, but out of the blue, my mom blurted
out, "These damn cockroaches!"
With that, she stamped her bare foot onto the

Unhappiness over Daphne's postings were talked about in msn, plurks and private plurks even prior to DK's banning. Many of the early ping.sg members who are friends with Daphne chose to keep their views private and I understand their decision. But it hurts me to see the community being torn apart, a community which I've been a member since its first day. It was so painful that I wanted to take an unscheduled length of hiatus from blogging and from ping.sg. Yes, it was that hurting! But after a private plurk session with a fellow long-time ping.sg member, she had convince[...]
