Rochor bean curd -$1.00 smoooooth!

today... big hullabaloo over the new electronically driven trains. i had dropped at dhoby ghaut mrt station to get bean curd. yes Rochor bean curd, smoothest ive had, light and sweet, glides in ur mouth. i dare say, its the best bean curd arnd. i bought 4 bowls!!! (1 each for my mom and brother & 2 for me!)



well im not writing cos of the fabulously silky smooth bean curd (though i wld deserve an essay).

today... i saw a lady wif a purple fringe, yes jus the fringe. but it was done really well, black head of hair parting at the side wif a nice deep hue of purple in the front where it parted. i never did think that purple hair cld look so good, but well the lady was pretty and fair skinned so it all added to the effect. yes i change my mind or i repent (repent being the same as change of mind) abt purple, it can look very good.



and then i saw my frnd, he dint look too good, kinda beat and pretty defensive like it wasnt nice to be seeing me was... well im sayin that only cos hes usually extremely easy going and rather happy to talk to be abt any thing. i remember him last talkin abt getting employment as a graphic designer... or was that multi media...? cant remember. but now hes doing some computer stuff... weird encounter.



lastly i saw an old frnd walking down the road wif her boyfriend. she was smoking. hmmm. i have frnds that smoke but ive never felt sad abt it. i think its bcos they were already smoking b4 i knew them or they dint really believe in not smoking. well i dont believe in smoking and so did this girl. well she isnt exactly the best of girls, a heavy clubber (i hate clubbing! esp in singapore) but i think she always had her own stand againts smoking. i mean she wldnt sit where smokers were sitting, she wld show discomfort when pple arnd were smoking and sheld ask smokers she knew not to smoke too. well i dunno wat broke her but i think is really sad. is not fair that pple sld change their minds for the worst. its not rite that wat little was right is now twisted by society. i hate clubbing. is jus not right. its prolly the thing that got her smoking otherwise its got the biggest influence. sux sux sux.

now i feel borederd cos i hate to see pple destroy their lives and themselves. aish!!!



pple! u ve got to love and treasure and love urselves more!



i wish i cld do something to stop youths/young adults/pple who are jus embarking on a "beautiful life" destroying themselves frm the begining.

ill pray for my frnd.
some china brand, apple flavoured aerated water -$0.90

gonna sound a tad silly. ive come across some impressionable words this week.

twas jus yesterday that i was reading the story, "the velveteen rabbit", to my brother for a bedtime kinda story thing. came across the phrase - "It lasts for always". i always had, pictured in my mind that the phrase wld go "it lasts forever". there are prolly so many other possible variations to that line, but only one got embedded in head. it got me thinking how many other things in my life has jus been monotonous, lacking alternative views, thoughts and perception. well ild blame it on the enviroment im put in, this dull and dreary city wanna be of an island, but maybe its jus that ive got much more to learn.



"lights snapper" was the name my mom gave my father when he came home. eveytime he is abt, he'ld be clicking off the lights which were left, switched on in the vacant rooms at home. crazy... hes always complaining that we keep the lights on for no reason. and when we do keep the lights off he'ld complain that the house was too dark and that a dark house was supposedly ghostly and bad.

but its not abt my dad that has had my thoughts lingering on, its abt the word "lights snapper"... funny name... yet logicaly its correct and it sounds very much like one of the names of the giants in Roald Dahl's "BFG". (giants names were: fleshlumpeater, bonecruncher, manhugger, childchewer, meatdripper, gizzardgulper, maidmasher, bloodbottler, butcher boy and the big friendly giant.)

"lightsnapper" come to think of it, it sounds like a fish... ya, i have a fun mom.



ive always thought russian names have a very unique sound in them. i came across one of them in a national geographic monthly - "Shchuchye". its the name of an area where biological and chemical weapons are tested. worst thing abt it is the fact that there are homes and familys presant in those parts too. the kids there learn in school how to act in the case of an outbreak or leak of a test weapon. sad isnt it? ive always thought living in the city was bad but this is surely worst off... its ofcourse doesent make growing up in singapore any better but its jus ironic to be advancing in techonlogy and yet regressing in humanity. after all techonology was first put forth to help make being human more effective.

in the same artical was the name "Nevanda", likewise a town wif families and children who grow up learning emergency procedures to a nuclear test gone bad.



wat a depressing age we live in.

wat wld i do wifout jesus?

rosemary ham -$2.50/100g

this blog is two days late...

got really caught up wif doing odd jobs. well by odd jobs i mean helping my frnd do posters for his church event, still workin on that comic i was supposed to finish weeks ago (frankly im not sure if they will still accept it this late... but im sure my chances, wif jesus, are always gd), "babysitting" my brother (erm "babysitting" really doesnt giv a good perspective on wat takin care of my bro is like... here it take alot less responsibility, after all he's a grown kid. well i blame it on the lack of knowledge of a better word).



no real work though... havent been able to find a goood job. well "good" being somthin that pays $6 and above, part time shift work 3-4 days a week and its gotta be a customer service thing or maybe something that revolves arnd adobe photoshop.

well there has been one opening at "simply bread". it was a really goood bakery when i last went there 4 years back, their crossants where unmatched. i mean at a dollar each, those tiny crossants had a doughy, soft but firm insides wif light and crisps outside. and unlike most, if not all the other crossants that are preped in the stores of singapore, those crossants were moist! making evey bite one to remember. it was perfect wifout anything added. i guess it was the lack of yeast added that gave the little buns their marvelous flavour.

well sad to say, things hav changed. when i was there for the interview i had the chance to try their crossants. they are now $1.50 and larger. but they now taste really comercial. lottas yeast to make it larger, when u bite it its like biteing on dry sponge. yuck! dissapointing.



the interview wasnt that fantastic either, 6day week being a really lousy factor. and i wasnt really prepared for the interview so i guess i left many questions open.

ah sux!

i even went for a hair cut for the interview. kinda shocking... i told my hair dresser, Sunny, i wanted a neat hair style, somethng shorter and wif out a parting. man. she gave me, or more like she took off four fifths of my head of hair... now i cant help feeling lighter and naked, weird. i guess itll grow, fast i hope.



nothing like holiday fun.
