I haven't blogged for long, reason being my company had blocked blogs..( hehe say blocked blogs fast. say it again, sounds funny.) and I have this uneasy feeling about blogging yet not being able to read what I blog and I haven't touched Monique in a while either - no time.
But today, Andy gave me an idea of what to blog about! But first, let me talk.
I have a few pictures to upload but no bluetooth in the silly office so shall do it when I go home, really. I will.
Went to Thai express at Siglap on Friday. I got $30 voucher from the management as an apology for the awful service under the previous outlet manager who was going to leave so didn't give a shit. The guy at the counter (dressed in t-shirt and jeans) din allow me to use my discount card till I insisted the vouchers weren't part of a promotion but rather because I complained so I should still be entitled to use my member card. He agreed and afterwhich said the restaurant is now under his care and I complimented the efficiency. But what puzzled me was if he was the manager, who was the other guy dressed in black shirt and black pants while the rest were in t-shirt and jeans? Hmmm....
Yesterday we went to Ikea but I wanted to buy the straw goat (yes, straw GOAT) but they didn't have it :( But it's cute, no? So I bought a collander. What's a collander? The bowl-like thingy with small holes where you can drain vegetables and pasta. We are in DIRE need of one of those. No mother, a basket with tiny rectangular holes all around is NOT a substitute.
While we were queuing up to pay for some other stuff, I saw a tray with small biscuit squares and red jam for tasting. Being a fool that I am, I popped one into my mouth and immediately spat it out. It was SO DAMN AWFUL! I rushed to the cafe and had to queue to buy a coke to wash off the horrid taste and I DON"T LIKE COKE so you can imagine how bad it was. After I had calmed my nerves, I plucked up my courage to approach that deadly jar of "jam" to find out what parts of a dead fish were inside. It was red cabbage jam. It's yucky and thank god wasn't any fish roe-instestinical stew.
After that we went to Sentosa (will upload the pics too) - the Tanjong brach is very nice, it had a bar in the front and it was about 6ish so it wasn't hot. Just felt like swimming at that moment.
Oh yeah, two Indian men (obviously not local) approached a white man and his blonde toddler who was running ard in her diapers and asked him if they could take a pic with her.
WHY, In God's name, would someone wanna do that. Better still, WHY, In God's name would a father allow two weirdos to take a pic with his child?
"Oh look Raju, a white childl!"
"Gasp! Oh my god, you're... you're right! WAIT, is that What I think it is!! She's.... BLONDE!" "WE have got to snap a pic!"
"Yes! Don't usually get to see them running around in their diapers like the rest of us human kind!"
Heh. Weird Weird guy. We also saw another Indian man with half his hair missing. Not like a bald spot but the left side of the head was gone. Not to poke fun, poor guy must have had some accident, but if it were me, I would have rather gone totally bald then leave it like this.
Why, whyyyy!!!
Hmmm what else.. think.. think...
Yes! I'm planning to go to Genting for the FOURTH time. I went Sep 06, Feb 07, Apr 07 and now Jan 08! Wuhoo! I can't explain it but I just love the place. It's soo.. Just love it !
By the way, pls do read how Dr Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong created Genting Highlands. It's an amazing story... He was a genius, far better than any geniuses in my opinion. Who would have thought of a casino and a theme park in a jungle-like mountain?
A MUST READ
We're planning to go in Jan, hopefully after pay-day and when it's not so crowded. I hate it when it's crowded.
Seriously, you MUST go to Genting. It's a beautiful place and I don't think any other place in Asia, or the world, will have this kind of weather - cool, misty. Not even the places with snow.
Now the grand finale of my post, Andy told me (and allowed me to write this okay so no breach of confidentiality involved) that his family doesn't celebrate anything as in no holidays, no occasions and not even Chinese New Year..
Hm..uh..mmm.. oddd.
STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT MORE ! if he's willing to share. No pressure okay..
(and see more pics.)
