Curry what?!
I recently came across a rather upsetting (to me anyway) piece of news. A local family was asked not to cook curry because the smell offended some new non-local neighbors.
I mean, WHAT?!
Sure, I agree, curry has a rather strong smell compared to the millions of other dishes in the world but surely it's not enough to actually create a binding settlement (a.k.a ban) the poor local family from eating curry?!
Let me list down foods that I will never eat (due to the smell):
-Durians
-Stinky Tofu
-Durians
-Jackfruit
-DURIANS!
As you can see from the list above, calling me a durian hater is an understatement. In fact, I have successfully banned my family from eating them at home (actually I just asked them tell me before they buy any home to eat so I can close and stuff up the cracks in my door first). And yes, I have moaned, complained, whined and raged against neighbors who constantly eat durians especially during the durian season but I have never EVER considered asking them to stop eating them, let alone submitting a complaint.
For a very simple reason, I live is a multiracial society and I am proud of it.
I mean, as a Chinese who contributes to air and noise pollution every 7th lunar month, how can we expect others to accommodate our ways of life if we do not allow others to have their own traditions?
Isn't it infuriating that after so many years of racial harmony (or in the very least, tolerance), we have to start changing our cultures just to suit people who refuse to assimilate into our culture?
I almost half-wished I had the address of *cough STUPID cough* the family in question. I just might 'donate' several bushes of the curry and lemongrass plants right on their doorstep, as a friendly gesture. :P
In the meantime, I will go cook a pot of Jap curry just for myself (mom hates jap food). May the smell permeate Singapore, stink out and drive away all curry haters.
Cheerios!

Because Joey asked for it
I know I haven't blogged in ages, I think Joey is the probably the only one who notices but... I'll entertain her for once. :P
Haven't been doing anything much that is noteworthy lately.
Well, there was a change in management in my school.
And I saw the cutest teacher.
Bought air tickets to Korea.
And I am Day 2 into my new health regime.
Okay, maybe there is some noteworthy events happening.
Yep, my school changed bosses, which is so sad. I adore my old boss, Jan. The new one ain't bad, at least she did not make any radical changes to the school, but still, I will miss Jan. :(
Male, Cute, AND a Teacher, need I say more? Okay okay, I don't even know him, but.... so CUTE~!
It was a rather random decision but I had money saved up for a trip, any trip since last year December and wanted to go somewhere with someone who had the smallest chance of irritating me. (Yeah, everyone has been irritating me. Maybe I'm undergoing menopause.) Started talking to Mas recently and I think she needed a break too (don't we all?) and ta-dah! I'm going for a 12D/11N free and easy autumn season Korea Escape in October!
Places that are currently on the itinerary are Seoraksan in Gangwon-do, Hallasan in Jeju and the DMZ.
Which leads to the last point in this post. I have frigging mountains (in my city-girl context of course) to climb and I can hardly walk up three sets of stairs without wheezing, so it's time to workout. (Which was also my 2011 resolution to be fitter.)
Day 1: Half hr of wii tennis and boxing (full strength, not wrist flicks)
Day 1 damage: I cannot raise my arms above my head without wincing.
Day 2: 45 mins of briskwalking
Day 2 damage: To be announced.
Have fun and cheerios!

The political maelstrom
I know, I know, it's been donkey years since I posted anything, but I can't help it. I need an outlet to vent. And where else do I vent, where I know I won't be interrupted? Here of course. :D
LOL! RPG anyone?
I'm not planning to persuade people to vote for any particular party but I do encourage everyone to read up. You can head to mrbrown's, the online citizen, or the temasek review.
I'll just add one last note. People who are in power, and don't want to give up their power, are the ones who should immediately be removed from power.
Take Gaddafi for example. How can anyone claim to love their country when they don't hesitate to bring out the guns on them? Likewise, how can any man claim to protect Singaporeans when they are whoring our country to the rest of the world? Singapore, the country, needs a pimp. It's getting too many customers as is....
Polling day is inching closer and closer and I've been doing so much reading, I think I even know what color underwear the nominees are wearing. (Not really, but still...)
This picture came up while I was reading about and it made me crack a smile even though I am half dead from a full-to-exploding timetable.

Apologies
To whoever read this blog (probably less then the fingers on one hand), sorry, haven't been doing much updates.
In summary, work's been mad (but good), been gaming, and sleeping.
Nothing much up now, will see you guys around.
Cheerios and have fun!

Oblivion
My ears are ringing, I am seeing double, but I am still conscious.
I miss the days when I can drink myself into Oblivion.
When I have no plans whatsoever but personal time.
And yes, I work everyday-ish.
Sigh.

Taking down the chatbox
Taking down the chatbox for now, I realized that weirdo's are spamming it.
Won't be blogging as much, addicted to work and game right now.
Happy Chinese New Year folks!
I'll see you around...

Right ear
Hearing in the right ear is horrible today. Sounds are muffled, like I have cotton wool stuffed inside.
The ringing is gradually becoming more frequent, especially at night.
Will have to stop listening to music while on the go if this continues.

A little solitude
One thing, about the internet, great way to keep on contact with people, great way to get misunderstood for just about anything.
I'll run the risk of get chewed over again, here, but hey, this is MY BLOG, and I run this place, if you can't handle my thoughts, you shouldn't be reading this eh?
Rough week, cough was killing me, I was pms-ey, emotionally confused and voila! I get a nice early trick or treat present from someone whom I'm not particularly keen on hearing from. Ever again. First night couldn't even finish a glass of wine, was too bushed.
Second night, the thoughts, hormones and wine really kicked in. And horror of horrors, I started crying, and it wasn't a one tear perfect movie moment. It was "Boo hoo hoo hoo!!" (You shoulda seen the admin's face when she saw my poofy eyes the following morn, heh.)
The last time I did that was like, 4 years ago? And I had a pretty damn good reason for it too.
But this time, I have absolutely no idea why. Cos the present bugged me? Sure. Cos my hormones? Probably. Anything else? Hrmm.....
If there's one thing I have learnt from this week, it is that I let people get me down too easily. Thought I had conquered that point, but no, I'm still too easily influenced.
In any case, this is a classic example of "You know what, if you can't handle my vices, sorry, bye bye." Simply too tiring to accommodate everything. Here's 10:
1.) I hate, I really hate waking up in the mornings unless it is for work
2.) I like to drink when I'm out at clubs/bars
3.) I hate jokes when you poke fun of others, no seriously, not funny
4.) I hate it when people insist they are right and dismiss you when they are proved wrong
5.) I hate waiting for people, period, especially if they are more than 15 mins late
6.) I like my alone time and will ignore my phone, msn and my mom if I am in my zone
7.) I hate hearing people complain about their lack of money, or in my opinion, their poor budgeting sense
8.) I have 3 alarm clocks, live with it
9.) Yes, I need my morning coffee, no I'm not useless without it, and no, hating coffee doesn't make you cool
10.) I HATE HATE HATE salty popcorn
Give yourself some alone time, figure out what your 10 vices are. See, this is what I do when I am not talking. Personal contemplation.
Last thing I contemplated, the worst thing about having shit happening to you, is not the shit, but that you don't have someone to just curl up, roll into bed with and sleep it off.
