FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST

NOTE that the title of the post has nothing to do with this post, but instead may be another one later this year. My apologies for the three weeks of you reading the same thing about Singapore, blame it on the exam. Hence no time, no events and all I think about is what to read the next day. Okay that sounded terrible. Well it actually was and I'm here confessing that I've had many crappy days for the last week. So I've been tagged and I usually don't do tags. Why write tags in blogs anyway rite? (my point of view, dont feel criticised :p) Ya ya I'm the hypocrite here because I'm going to post a tag but it won't be like normal tags :)

So the 6 poeple I'd like to tag would be my pals that I've known for the past 9 years or so and currently not seeing them very often. Andre & Martin are in Kuching but its a pretty much so near yet so far thing, I rarely see them around and only God knows if they're still virgins or not. haha! Okay so I havn't seen Ches for a week now because he doesn't sit for exams. So I tag Ches. To be honest, before I thought of who to tag I already realise that none of them are going to write the tag even though I tag them. They just don't write tags :) Neither do I :)

Talk about passion and the 6 things I'm passionate about. Love is something I believe and keep making myself believe that I'm passionate about it. I think love is something very special thing and I believe I do give my love around to people here and there, just that it's not directly and most of the time, they don't even realise it :) Note that I'm writing the word 'believe' in italics beause I might just be in denial. I'm passionate about great movies or shows, may it be a great movie with a great story and great camera angles to complement it, cheesy romance movies or episode after episodes (Grey's Anatomy / Heroes) or animated movies with talking animals. Haha :) Next, I think art is something very unique, especially art that makes people happy :)

The 6 things I say to often would be *^!@(&, ^#*!) and %@)!*. Haha. No actually. I never really notice what I say too often. Perhaps the most obvious would be "Hie", "Byee" and *smile* I prefer actions than words :)

The 6 books that I've read recently. Biological Sciences, Pure Math, Physical Chemistry. Okay really that's what I have been reading recently. Sounds like a nerd, but I wish there was much better books to read. If I track back time, the books would be For One More Day, Reader's Digest and newspapers. Pathetic isn't it.

Songs that I can listen over over again would be songs I hear every nite to de-stress after a long evening. There's definitely 6 songs, but I don't know the title. I listen to untitled songs. And radio (without knowing the title).

The 6 things I learnt in the past year. More like recently tho, that I've learnt to criticise a lot. I tend to criticise the way things are here. e.g people's mentality. I have probably criticised almost half the poeple in my school. I just feel like something's not right in the society. So in another way I believe I've learnt to be more vocal. I've learnt that things doesn't work the hard way. Or in other words, forcing something or forcing someone. Another thing I've learnt is that people change over time, depending on the environment they're in. Lastly, I've learnt that the world is very much fucked up.

SINGAPORE CITY

THE FACT THAT I'M BEING FED WELL Going into Singapore and staying in my aunty's house is like entering some rich zoo. Big plate of lasagna rite on the first nite and dessert would be cakes from Gastronomia Da Paolo. Honestly I never heard of a place like that. A must buy cake, ranging from banana caramel with chocolate cake (real bananas okay), some coffee flavoured and very creamy with biscuit-like base. Okay I realise I'm bad with words when it comes to cakes. But these rich creamy cake arn't cheap at all. $ 8 for a small box and that would be aproximately RM19.52 after conversion. So, next I was fed with japanese curry (big plate okay), and one whole plate of fish. Yeap. Just fish and some potatoes. Don't remember eating that much fish in one meal. By the way, Gastronomia Da Paolo can be found in Paragon, ground floor next to cold storage.

SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX Got to say that Marina Bay street circuit is one of a kind. Porbably the best circuit I have seen. If you were to take still photos of the race, you'd see buildings in the backgrund and it's pretty obvious that it's a street where people drive and walk. Brilliant. Very brilliant. I'm not a fan of grand prix at all. But I happen to be there at the moment, so i watched it live on tv, just to catch all the mistakes and crashes, hehe. It was quit exciting actually to watch Felipe Massa drive off with the fuel nozzle still stuck on the car :p


LAVATORIES It's totally free! Seriously it is. Unlike here, you don't have to pay 20 cents for answering Nature's call. Reminds me of phones. 20 cents per call.

LIFESTYLE Not a single Proton or Perodua if you walk along the streets, maybe just the Woodlands Checkpoint you'd see terrible ugly looking Johorian cars. In contrast, everywhere you would be able to see Porshes, Jaguars, Mercedes', BMWs. As for trains, having travelled in Kuala Lumpur before, the trains here are much more efficient and easier to use. Every train uses one company and it's all using magnetic signals during payments. So are the buses. Talking about lifestyles, I came across many ERPs(Electronic Road Payment) which I didn't realise it was there the last trip. Reminds me of the movie Money Not Enough 2 where Singaporeans were complaining about the ERPs sucking up all their money. Haha. Now I know why, they're rather expensive and there are many on the roads!!

one of the train stations.

ya ya. waiting for the train :p

Money No Enough :p

WOODLANDS CHECKPOINT One thing I noticed about the officers checking at the Woodlands Checkpoint is the difference between Singaporean officers and Malaysian officers. Singaporean officers would demand you to open the car boots and check the bags while Malaysian officers would just let you go upon waving at them. No wonder so many immigrants in Malaysia! Who knows how many people have they smuggled into Malaysia already. Haha.

PIG LININGS Haha. Who knew Puma shoes were made out of pig linings. I wonder why in Malaysia they never tell customers that they are of pig linings. Haha. Im laughing my ass off now and you know why.
