PRC Encounter


As we all clearly see the increasingly populated amount of work immigrants, its obvious from the group of them we spot the most 'outstanding' bunch. Being a Chinese individual in this multiracial society doesn't really stand out much, but being a Chinese from China just isn't that hard to identify.

After several encounters and incidents, let us say its not a statement of stereotyping but a consensus of truth. You hear them talking loudly, literally shouting, a normal act or a couldn't-be-bothered attitude. At the train station, rushing into the train as if they're running away from terrorists, apart from our locals doing that, we see them doing it at a high frequency, always. Inconsiderate or ignorance?

In the cinema while watching a movie, Mandarin subtitles are provided for English movies. Do we need to hear them asking one another about the scene, what it means and what the movie is trying to convey? A 'live' version of a beauty pageant where the interpreter translates English to their foreign tongue, do we really need to go through that in the cinema with them sitting behind, in front or beside us?

The annoyance level hit skyrocketed heights, with irritation and agony, frowning at them, giving them strange alienated looks, I've come to a conclusion. They just dun get it at all.

The Agony Of Cinema Patrons


Like any one else on weekends, patronizing the cinema seems to be a favorite leisure activity. However, on occasion such as upcoming animated or blockbuster movies, we fear of experiencing the abundance from our younger target market, a.k.a - kids/babies. Apart from the cinema's Dolby Surround, which evidently we know we're paying to experience, kids.... running around, babies crying, kids talking and/or all of the above, we get those as freebies.

Maybe its not common sense to know that and infant does not understand what the freaking movie is about, its just like carrying a sack of beans into the cinema, well at least the sack of beans doesn't really cry or make any other noise. Cinema staff has failed to check on identification, clearly some movies of a certain rating is unsuitable for kids, and yes, we still see them around. In some countries, a 'Crying Room' is included into each theater for parents to shove their kids in. Its about time we should implement it, or maybe divide the cinema into kids and adults sections. Kids section to be sound proofed - obviously.

Besides brainless parents with their living noise maker, citizens from China, another annoying factor. Chatting away in the middle of a freaking movie, its not hard to spot them with their ching-chong accent. Whispering is fair enough, but literally chatting and asking each other questions on what the dialogue is about, that's way too much. The fact that they're ignoring the 'Chinese subtitles' and other patrons, basically making themselves feel like home, they just doesn't seems to care. P.R.Cs, they all belong in the 'Crying Room' together with an interpreter to assist them with the movie dialogues. Ultimately, we contribute our money to watch at the silver screen, not the circus, but why are we watching the movie, together with the circus? This sucks~!

PONG-meister


Peiling celebrated her birthday, another year closer to the mid-life crisis arena. I've always thought girls have this mindset that they have to find the right man before 30, but looking at her, maybe not every girl.

As compared with other birthday events held in the evening, this was the first taken place in the afternoon. The usually practice, at K-Box making fools of ourselves, and dinner at Sakura Restaurant. The restaurant was kinda secluded, not very noticeable, but for some reason its packed with people. Annoying kids, babies screaming, geriatrics and school kids, the greatest combination for dining at a restaurant. Amazingly, why would anyone wanna bring their infant to a buffet restaurant? The truth lies beneath...

Apart from narrow walking space in the restaurant, which made the inconvenience to maneuver around while carrying plates of food, the food was something we've all experienced from Linjie's birthday, not fantastic but at least it fills your stomach. We concluded the day at Suling's crib, lounging, chats and basically nothing productive.

Train Station Etiquette


When people think that our most convenient transportation, is in fact the most disastrous places where you see the obvious idiots and dumb asses around. The train station during peak hours, sardine-packed with busy people making their way to work and out for leisure purposes, the last thing you wanna spot is someone obstructing the passage way.

It is common sense when one approaches the exit gate, he/she has got to have the EZ-Link card handy. NOT, I must highlight this repeatedly. NOT NOT NOT to station in front of the exit gate, with a hand in your bag, rummaging for it. The ultimatum is when they know the card isn't working, these idiots ambitiously kept trying it a million times to scan on the gate, common sense tells us to head to the Passenger Counter to get the card checked, but these morons just dun get it.

Ladies with handbags, is it that tedious to have the card kept at a convenient spot in the bag where its reachable for you? Some bitches, flipping and flopping their bags on the gate scan, hoping for the sensor on the gate to read the card in their bag. Is it not embarrassing to hold up the queue behind for your selfish and silly action?

Seriously, our train station should hired specific individuals as station traffic control. He/she should have certain quality like, height, weight, just like a club bouncer, carrying a whistle, patrolling the station looking for inconsiderate passengers. Blowing the whistle to signal them that its a bad move. It'll be super if they carry a loudspeaker. Shouting across the escalator at idiots who dun keep left (left - for standing, right - for people walking up the escalator), bitches doing the bag stir-frying action, faulty card situation, baby trolley maniacs, boarding passengers who dun give way, not standing behind the yellow line. We need to teach them the hard way if they can't follow simple instructions.

Baby Trolley Of Mass Destruction


Recently coming across numerous incidents where parent abused the concept of a baby trolley. As I recalled back in my days, the trolley are for baby, hence its called 'baby' trolley. These days, not only it became a shopping trolley, its also causing annoyance to the public. Putting down in words on some personal encounters that really made the top on the stupidity meter.

Incident 1

On board the train, its morning hour and the station is packed with passengers boarding the train. A couple pushing their baby trolley in, with the husband carrying the child and the wife parking the trolley in the middle of both cabin doors, obstructing the way, inconsiderate behavior, rush hour, passengers could've boarded if only trolley was folded and kept aside.

Incident 2

Child is old enough to walk, trolley looks too small to fit the gi-normous kid. Parents obviously incapable to differentiate whether your child is still a baby or kid. Dumbness. The idea of a baby trolley is for babies, its not a kid trolley. An act of over pampering your freaking kid. Unless he/she is physically impaired, utilize those damn legs of theirs.

Incident 3

Supermarket getting groceries, if you can't afford to get a shopping cart, get a shopping basket. NOT! Using your baby trolley to put your goddamn fruits and vegetables. If you wanna go get groceries with your baby, think, do you really need your baby's company? Leave the freaking kid at home.

Incident 4

On the bus, boarding with a baby trolley and carrying the baby at the same time. Obstructing passage way with the trolley. Helplessly unable to fold the trolley with your child on your arms. Word of advise, take a cab or leave your child at home. For the love of god.

Incident 5

On the escalator in shopping malls or train stations. Obey the rules of 'NO' trolley up the escalator. Is it that difficult to use the elevator or lift? Accidents happen everywhere, better to be safe than sorry. I guess parents these days are all risk-takers.

Prince of Persia = Jake Gyllenhaal

Was reading through E! News and to my freaking shocking surprise, a picture of Jake Gyllenhaal, he IS the Prince of Persia. Talk about beefcake and steroids, he is all buffed up for the role man. I do see the slight resemblance, but the muscle works.......DANG!

Big Butt Day


I know this person would not want her pics to be speculated through the net (she thinks she celebrity big-shot yaa). Had dinner (August 8th) at Causeway Point's Soup Restaurant (dun ask why) with the gang and realized the kinda of money paid, we would've gotten better food somewhere else. Anyways, Butt's the birthday GURL, so she say means we say. The evening followed by karaoke session at Woodlands (Zzzzz), where Suxiang (the butt girl) cut her cake (which she chose) and received her present's (which she bought beforehand) payment for us. Talk about being proactive~

Red Wok Encounter

Bern and I went to this place for dinner the other day at Bugis Junction, interesting concept but food was rather mediocre. Appetizer of cold zucchini with garlic soy, sounds good looks yawnssss. Basically your order comes with the ingredients all in little portions on little saucers, a big red bowl of soup broth and a bowl of white vermicelli noodles. As carefully instructed by the staff, we toss in the meats, follow by the greens and other stuff, lastly the noodles.

The taste was like any other sliced fish noodles you get from the food court. Beverages were fancy and pricey. Not the appropriate way of quenching your thirst, that's for sure. Final verdict, 3 out of 10. Go for fun of toss food into a bowl of broth, cheap and short thrill.








Recent Intrigue


Been really curious how they take photo shots of moving lights and creating words from a torchlight or by some other kind of light source. Although I've yet to master it but this is my rendition of it.

SoooooLing-A-Ling's Bird Day

It seems like just yesterday we celebrated Suling's Birthday. Yet another victim being tricked towards the 30s club. I must admit we still look darn good. Ha ha. To my surprise, Peiling was the one who wanted to get Suling's present, after her series of hoax text messages, she decided to go ahead and get it herself. Typical indecisiveness. Cake was Jiajia's idea, Raymond ordered, I edited and bought the card, the rest just, well, attended and contributed their share. When people asked you to see them at the train station, you're guess to see them at the station itself, NOT to meet at the station's last cabin along the tracks. Instructions were useless and the person is incompetent. Period.

We filled our hunger with Japooooneeese food, Waraku at Starhub Centre. Shockingly realized that due to the recent price increase in produce and food, my tonkatsu (Deep fried pork cutlet) has shrunk tremendously. As I recalled my last visit, the pork was of a certain thickness and now its just half of that thickness, I'm talking Victoria Beckham + Olsen Sisters, anorexic pork. The restaurant's AC was pathetic, practically sweating like pigs in sauna, but nothing stopped us (me) from gorging our food. Our orders, crab set and beef set to share amongst the kids, and individually our own portions, some people just dun get the point of eating at least something decent other than Terriyaki Chicken and Rice, eye-popping. Its as bad as going to some fancy pants restaurant ordering burger and fries.

Headed to E2Max where Suling booked a game room, for a change from the repetitive times we had karaoke for all birthday (yawns), service sucks big time though we had fun. We did the usual, birthday song, birthday cake (championship belt cake, fiERcccce), birthday gift. Went for movie, which I totally slept throughout of it, old people are not the exact night owl. Which concludes the day of Lee Su Ling-a-ling-a-ling.

Until then, be afraid, be very....afraid of her. WHOOP~

The Sabotage



The Rejected Nightclub Hostess


Late posting on Raymond's Bird Day, a dinner at the heartlands of Ang Mo Kio. The rain didn't get into the way from our hungry stomachs, not even the one and a half hour of queueing under the drizzle. The hearty and all comforting dishes, crabs and other home-cooked food, filled everyone to the rim. The usual karaoke session after dinner concluded a wonderful night filled with smiles and laughter. We gave the birthday boy a fun and crazy evening. Happy Bird Day Ah Pooi!

The Interview From The Land Of Stupidity


I was just browsing Suling's blog when I started thinking what could be the most horrifying interview that a single soul would encounter? Read on...



(Interviewee arrived company and approaches reception.)

Interviewee: Hi, I'm here for an interview.

Receptionist: Sure, please take a seat.

(Interviewee measuring the sofa at the reception area, looking at it from different direction)

Interviewee: Does this come in another color and d'you provide delivery?

Receptionist: I meant, take a seat ON the sofa while I inform the interviewer you're here.

Interviewee: Oh... Right.

(Interviewee was directed to meeting room with a glass of iced water)

Interviewer: Hi, pleased to meet you. Why not we try to break the ice and you tell me more about yourself.

(Interviewee picks up a few ice, threw it on the ground and starts to stomp of them)

Interviewee: There you go. About me...I just met this lady, down at my place, found out she's a hooker also a neighbor of my cousin, Lucy, who slept with Peter, the janitor. This lady was asking for a quickie, trying to earn some fast cash, so we at it at the alley near my place coz my mum's gonna question me if I brought, Shoshana, the hooker's name, home.

Interviewer: Was hoping you tell me more about your past experience, but I guess you were too carried away.

Interviewee: Past experience?! You know, good sex and bad sex, we just can't expect too much right?

Interviewer: Why not you tell me why should bw choose you. What's in it for us?

Interviewee: Um... I'm rather hardworking at times, honestly, I just need this job real badly. Its for my mom's boob job, birthday surprise, you know.

Interviewer: Let me give you a scenario. You received a call from a customer, she is unhappy with our service. What would you do?

Interviewee: Easy. I would say something like, "I'm sure you're unhappy with our service but you know, we just can't get the things we always want in life"

Interviewer: Are you joking?

Interviewee: I don't see you laughing. So, nope.

Interviewer: Ok. D'you have any questions for me?

Interviewee: Not really but I could email you if I came out with one.

Interviewer: Anyway, thank you for coming, we'll keep you posted.

Interviewee: So you prefer to email me instead?

Interviewer: The door's this way.

Interviewee: Thanx


I'm sure this would only be one of the craziest interview ever. Period!
