The article has for her what seems to be the worst blurb in the entire list:

“Self-absorbed travails of twentysomething lovelorn Wendy Cheng. Famous in Singapore, she has also been criticized as racist and xenophobic.”

Trash her all you like, by the way; she’ll love the traffic.

Valentine’s Day is no more. Until next year, that is. We men stare endlessly at our credit card debt, scouring newspapers for part time jobs. The women, in the meantime, start going to the gym, trying to burn off those chocolate calories.

Since i love coffee alot, todays post will be on how to make coffee using a french press or plunger. French presses are wonderful machines because you manually control the water temperature and exposure time, resulting in a rich, perfect cup of coffee.

Many other coffee makers over extract coffee, under extract coffee, or utilize water which is not at an optimal temperature. Paper filters prevent coffee’s flavorful oils from reaching your mouth and can add off-flavors from the filter itself.

What makes of you eventually? Remember the movie Cast Away? Only that you’re without all the modern stuff – not even Wilson, the ball. Just you and the nature. Can you imagine yourself actually doing this? You tell me.

Since the Train station bombing incident that killed many happened not too long ago in London, being super kiasi (fear of death) new signs have been placed all over the Perth Central Train Station. Some I find rather interesting.

When you see something, say something. I saw many things today, and certainly, I said many things.

The calm manner in which Rara broke the news to me was typical of how bad news is relayed in the family. Abah, my dad, is the coolest of them all. Maybe as head and protector of the family, he feels dutybound to cushion any bad news that comes our way.

Okay, what’s wrong with ah beng and lala accent? HUH?!
Nabeh! Speaking Manglish or Singlish doesn’t mean we’re uncivilized at least we will not loot others with guns and missiles!

In Korea, the year’s calendar has been infested with so much commercialization that it’s not even funny. A special day is created oh-so-often, concurrently with clever marketing plans to take over the world. Playing on the theme of Valentine’s, a ‘special day’ (Ehem!) has been created for the 14th day of each month, each to it’s own bullshit story. Note that even the Koreans I know dismiss most of these days without even a whim.

Hence, this calls for mass production of farewell gifts. Out comes the Dahlings In A Bottle idea. The idea was from my idea which was the successful Message In A Bottle Valentine’s Day Project of the Interact Club in my school in year 2001 and 2003. (And I strongly suspect that one of the communities in Taylor’s Business School adopted the idea for their own Valentine’s Day project this year. I choose to feel flattered, even if I’m just perasan-ing. But how coincidental can it be when the coloured water is in the exact same dark blue shade?)

I’ve got Koh Pha Ngan (KPN) Syndrome. It is called a KPN syndrome because I cannot leave the island especially Hadrin unless I’ve ran out of money to stay there. I will spend every last cents on the island before it’s time to leave.
