Thanks for sharing this great link!

I made one of these a while back as well. The place I live is due for an earthquake and it makes me nervous all the time. Making an animation helped me put my worries to rest. And besides, earthquakes set to music are fun! http://caseorganic.com/discoquake/

From Leong Choon Cheong's Youth in the Army (1978): "This utterance is evoked in a situation where a soldier experiences a state of mental excitement and confusion, and consequently is liable to "gabra" (be confused, frightened or shocked). The literal translation of the expression is "unable to recognise the house".

I have never quite been certain where my house is. I suspect it might have been left behind in London. Meanswhile I operate like a snail with a borrowed shell.

From the screaming crack whores of Dalston's Shacklewell Lane - to the pimps and mainland china hookers of Geylang, I've been living in exciting neighbourhoods.
