UNO!

While slurping down the third can of DC today after a hectic trip to Marina Bay for the 2007 NY fireworks display, I pondered upon the truth behind it's zero calorie claim, proudly printed on the can.

With my sleuthing hat on, I visited coke's official site FAQ, as well as some other urban legend sites to discover that the claim on the can is FALSE! They LIED! From the caramel flavouring it uses, Diet Coke contains 1 calorie!

It's official! I have done my due diligence, and I will continue buying DC from Shell petrol stations by the cartons with my conscience clear....1 calorie! UNO!

A picture of Elvira's guinea pigs before they become a part of our memory. Fred (on the left) was a gift from Elvira's Deyi Secondary School students but was given away very shortly when we realised that we were unable to handle 2 pigs competently.

After Lucas was born, Ginger (on the right) was fostered at Elvira's parents' home. We took her back about 4 months ago. Now, she's a little older and a little balder like me.

After 6 years with us, Ginger is now living her out her life in an old rusty cage. With Lucas' arrival, I am sad to say that we aren't able to take care of her as well as we used to, and we definitely do not get the chance to play with her as much. Sorry about that old girl. I'll try my best, I promise.
