When you've tasted superiority you can no longer tolerate incompetence. And by incompetence, I'm referring to NOT BEING ABLE TO CONNECT TO MY STARHUB MOBILE BROADBAND as well as the bear's wireless network.

The "bear cave" is like no other. It's green, dark, messy and you'd probably find cockroaches if you look hard enough. Fortunately, the bear never bothers, otherwise I'd be hearing screams every now and then. I should mention that I'm the designated insect exterminator in both households - the bear's and mine.

It's a proud position to be in until someone wakes you up at 4am in the morning to catch one. That's kinda when you realise, "What have I gotten myself into?" By then, it's too late. They know you fear them not, therefore they know you are the only one able to catch them!

Trust me, you really wouldn't want to be in that situation. I've tasted blood and it's bitter, very bitter. Damn those vampire novels that say blood is sweet!

It's an alternate dimension I tell you, a black hole into the past. The "bear cave" that is.

The place just seems to consume whatever trace of the modern world. The deeper you enter, the worst it becomes. At my end, nearly the deepest corner of the "cave", time seems to go back 10 years (at least), where cable is the thing of the future and 56k (or worst) is present. Let's not even begin to talk about 3.5G. You'd be lucky if you get any phone signal here.

That's not all. The place has this weird effect on me. The longer I stay within it, my vision seemingly darkens.

Everything appears gloomy, distant. If I focus my attention just about right, it's as though I enter a time ward that sends me backwards, catching a glimpse of time that has past. Then again, it could be just my imagination. Silence can drive a person to temporary insanity. And it is quiet when the bear is at the other side watching his Liverpool vs. I-don't-know match.

In the past two years, I have just the weirdest experiences in this "cave". Some are truly unspeakable.

Have I installed any fear within you yet?
