3 Singaporean teens face charges because they posted racist remarks on facebook!
Seriously, I think that this is way too serious for something that was meant as a joke. ( I’m trying to be sensitive here so I don’t face charges myself ) Honestly, they are pretty darn suay to kenna pauto and caught red handed posting something in black and white. Ok, you have to be Singaporean to understand that amount of singlish all in one sentence.
I mean we all hear racist jokes now and then and i’ve even seen people of their own race make fun of themselves just because it was funny! It’s all in good sport right?
Oh well i guess some things just can’t be caught saying. In singlish it’s called, Must learn how to cover own backside. =)
Saturday was Qi Chao’s 21st birthday celebration! It was held at his function room at Trellis Towers and i’m amazed how 60 people or so managed to fit inside. The population ratio of guys to girls was about 15:1. One of the down sides of being in a boy’s school. Also about 20% of all the guys present were wearing black and white checkered flannel shirts. Whereas i’m the ONLY person wearing all pink BECAUSE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FREAKING THEME. Anyway, hope he liked the braun buffel wallet. I saw that his bull came out already so we decided to get him one. I got no idea why his OCS friends are all so civilised and didn’t throw him inside the pool!! It’s like dude, they’re from the army man i’m sure they did more wild stuffs on birthdays…
Anyway, Sunday morning immediately the next meal after was another buffet! This time it was dim sum buffet at Mirarmar Hotel with Mich. At $15.80++ it was quite affordable and it had been a long time since i ate dim sum. Too bad the food wasn’t all that fantastic but hey it’s cheap what can you expect.
This is how i look like in wayfarers. And no i don't normally wear shades in restaurants.
I just read through The Lost Symbol over the weekend because 1) it was extremely addictive and 2) it was a library book and i have a deadline to meet. Dan Brown really could work wonders with his writings. A lot of his personal fantasy-adventure ride borders on the edge between fiction and reality and i guess that’s what makes his books all the more interesting and suspenseful. It made me have a “I never knew that/are you serious?” thought in my head. Also his chapters normally end in cliff-hangers that moves on to another character’s point of view/situation that ends in a cliff-hanger as well, thus making you read on and on and on.
Perhaps because it’s his latest book and therefore it has the most lasting impression on me, but i do think this is his best book so far. I particularly agree on the opinion expressed in the book that there is one true god and that all the different religions essentially believe in the same principles in general. But let’s not touch on religion here… sensitive subject.
Definitely an exciting read that will keep you captivated like all his other books!
Ok, we have been eyeing their crabs here since last october and it went into our bucket list. Eng Seng’s famous for their black pepper crab and honestly it is one of the nicest I’ve eaten! Their black pepper sauce is actually SWEET. Just in case you’re wondering if there’s something wrong with their cooking skills its actually spicy too lah but i guess the sweetness makes it stand out. The stall owner/auntie there is snooty <— new word according to Mich. They sell the mee goreng there as well with orgasmic prawns. Those who ate orgasmic prawns before should know what I mean! They’re bouncy bouncy smack smack (your lips).
I’m always amazed at how people can eat crab with only 2 fingers from each hand. I however, believe in savouring every last bit of crabby meat with ALL of my fingers. That way i can lick off all 10 fingers after I’m done =)
It’s been 3 days since my work started. It’s pretty easy so far but nonetheless straining on the eyes. I mean what else can be said for doing data entry for 8 hours everyday.
The saddest part and i would also say the best part of the day should be lunch time. Sad because this is probably the 2nd time in my life i had ever ate a meal alone outside. The queues at the market street food center is insanely long. Every stall has on average 10 people in the queue at any time. The seating situation there is even more ridiculous. The tissue paper syndrome manifested itself here to evolve to newspapers and even umbrellas. Luckily i sit alone (how ironic) so it’s easier to find seats. Or in this case, a seat. Singular.
You can sense that i desperately need a lunch time buddy. Anybody working at raffles place please let me know if you wanna eat lunch together!
Wait i shall correct myself. The best part of the day is actually KNOCKING OFF.
Yesterday was our last weekend before the school and the work both start at the same time. We got economical and we made nice sandwich to bring to ECP for picnic. It was garlic foccacia bread with apple baked ham and lettuce and cheddar cheese and tomato. Simple but damn nice. Brought apple juice along and we walked about 3km to the cable ski area to take a look and have our dinner.
Sandwich!
This is dedicated to all HIMYM fans.You should get the idea
Nice sitting there chilling, looking at the sunset, taking lots of pictures, listening to music. We’ll only have the weekends for things like these for the next 4-6 months. No more waking up at 12pm on weekdays anymore.
Sunset
=)
Tomorrow’s my first day at work! Hope it’s gonna be fun.
We caught Sherlock Holmes yesterday because that will probably be the last movie before she starts school and I start work! Thankfully it turned out to be quite a thrilling movie. Definitely NOT what i had imagined the classic Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to be. I actually quite liked the Blackwood guy and all his mysterious black magic. Reminds me of Kindaichi (Jin Tian Yi).
Elementary my dear.
My work begins on Monday! Got an interview today with 9 candidates (including myself) all fighting for a temp job. Turns out that 2 out of the remaining 8 are people i know. It’s so weird… Luckily I managed to get the job, hope it turns out to be fun and enriching! I know my bank account would definitely be more enriched.
To all the young girls out there who like to drink and party, please beware of the influx of lonely men in Singapore on the hunt for YOU. Be responsible for yourself. In my opinion, I think that the girl herself seems perfectly ok with the guys touching/groping her so there should be no complains here.
