Life After Birth

I remember reading this from someone’s blog entry and thought it was awesome:
Life After Birth? Blasphemous!
Two twins are talking in their mother’s womb.
- Do you believe in life after birth?

Never Feel Stupid

I hope everyone spoiled their mums this mother’s day. I love my mum very much. Especially her stance on mother’s day presents:
Trung, buy them AFTER Mother’s Day, then you can get them on sale!
