stupid thoughts like these.

"it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice."
Deng Xiao Ping (DXP)

yeah, probably one of his most famous aphorisms.
so i was reading Goh Keng Swee's (GKS) 'A Portrait' these past couple of days in an attempt to appear well-read and "cheem". wahahah. not really lah, its a pretty good book if you ask me. at least now i know more about the founding fathers of Singapore.
anyone knows if Hon Hui Sen or Toh Chin Chye has autobiographies too?

okay, with regards to that quip statement made by DXP which was featured in GSK's autobiography which is probably everywhere. i've heard it before but never knew who actually said it. (now i know lor! see, very informative right? i will only lend you the book if you promise to return it to me. everytime lend people books never come back one. kns.)

i digressed yet again.. so ya, back to that quote.. you're like supposed to think: how deep. yes very true indeed why did i never think that way huh? DXP is so deep.

wah lau eh.. first thought that popped up upon reading above statement:

"wah lau eh, whether a cat is black or white, i will also scream, shout and run away."
in true Lee Hong Rui (LHR) fashion

yeah, here i am, reading an SGD39.95 autobiography of one of the founding fathers of Singapore and i think about the stupid lines my friend would spurt should i tell her about this statement.
and let me tell you, i confirm burst out laughing and beat her on the back for her frankness.

bah, i want to think DEEPER THOUGHTS.
