why only cats & dogs...

"why does it always rain on me..."

why is it called "raining cats and dogs" when its pouring heavily? why not pigs and elephants? or hippos and rhinos? why arent bigger and heavier animals used? why are animals used in this reference, when it doesnt seem to have any connection? why does it always rain on me?

yup, thats right. just a few hours after my last post, it started raining heavily again this morning. and as luck would have it, i'm drenched like a wet cat when i reached camp. if i'm so lucky as to have rain pouring on me everytime, why cant i have the same luck as to gambling? - legal or non-legal. everyone says you cant always have everything, but hey look! doesnt a certain family by the surname of L ending with e have everything here in SUNNY singapore? martha stewart went to jail and got her own tv show. donald trump has what could be the world's worst comb-over and still ended up with a hot babe for a wife, a tv show and is freaking rich. so why cant poor little ol' me get rain pouring on me and strike it rich via legal lottery and illegal football bets or gambling? i dont think its too much to ask for.....

p.s. not that i am involved in any illegal activities...
