Fight off dementia and memory loss. Buy a Nintendo DS Lite (S$279) and the Brain Age game (S$35), just as I did. As I play the brain games, I can visualise my brain synapses firing away and my prefrontal cortex activating fully. The game is invented by a man from the Land of the Rising Sun, no less. Game for a try the next time we meet up?
Oh yes, you would do very well as a veterinarian, a zoo-keeper or an animal activist. From someone who has never owned a pet so far in her life.
I am probably too squeamish about blood to be a vet.
"Bring on the nintendo!" the grey cells chirp.
that is quite a list! i am truly impressed(from someone who has only had pet rabbits, was nipped in the heel by a dog once & hasn't dared contemplate owning a dog since!)
Cats - cats are missing from my list.
Actually, I have been trying to establish some kind of informal relationship with a certain ginger cat which has been skulking in and out of our front garden recently. I call him/her Ginger.
Which reminds me: I forgot put in the list the tabby kitten I co-owned with my maternal grandmother for a few weeks when I was probably 8 or 9.
咦？你还记得那两只陪你考试的金鱼噢？
捧着它们搭车，真的很“啧恶”，Olga1 & 2晕车，吐了一缸。虽然我没有见证，想起都晕。
后来才知道原来金鱼是被人利用来挡煞的。
tsk tsk tsk...下辈子要还。
养猫，是对的。互不相欠。
