Eternal torment: The Search

Tuesday, February 14, 2006

Today's mindless trivia : Barbie started being sold on the 13th.

And It seems Ken's not gay?! (or is he a closetted in denial gay?)

Anyways, yeah. Ken has got two new looks. one rockish image and the other a return to his beach boy roots. yup. Everything except the fake accent and personalities. Bleh. I'm waiting to see him decked in designer clothes like Zegna or Polo Ralph or Armani. THEN i'll go grab one. Or drop hints to get it for my birthday. Haha. Like I have the space for more dolls/figurines. My drawers already bursting and my poor Action Man dolls severely neglected.

Hmm...Currently, I'm working on a short drabble on the religion of money. Well, trying to anyways.

I've found a very delightful and humorous highlight to look forward to everyday. It's called the stupid malaysians' poll. *rolls eyes* I'm serious. I didn't know whether to laugh at the sheer stupidity or to be concerned.

Here's a sample poll they conducted about two days ago.

What is your opinion of the malaysian rambutans being marketted as Singaporean lychees?
I want our neighbours to apologise. I will boycott Singapore products. (i forgot what the other two options were)

Now, let me ask the singaporeans. have you EVER heard of such a controversy? Chances are you'll be scraching your head. (are you sure you don't have dandruff?)

I mean COME ON! Are we dumb enough to NOT know what a rambutan is? And what a lychee is?! how the hell can one get confused?

I mean it's damn obvious you have a rambutan on your hand if you have a red, hairy fruit with a firm white flesh. and a lychee if it's a brownish-tannish fruit with a translucent flesh? Even an angmoh will know!

Furthermore, I would agree with the guy quoted in ST today. What the hell do we get if we market their products as ours? Hell, we ALREADY have a problem with people misusing our brand name. How many times have you gone overseas and seen things like "Singaporean Chicken Rice" or Singaporean noodles and wondered what the hell?

Seriously, I just think that the media across the causeway should know better than to stir up controversy and ill-founded hate. And those Danish imams who ADDED three OTHER cartoons to further stir up hate. What the hell is wrong with religious extremist? Btw, if you're one of those stupid idiots boycotting danish products, I want you to do one thing for me. Go outside, eat grass and bleat. Yup. Cos you're a mindless LAMB!

What the hell do you get when you boycott products? Did you think you're doing the world any good? And the Danes...haiz. Can't you just apologise along with that dumbass editor?

Let this be a good lesson for everyone. Sure, we can have freedom of speech but it has to be exercised with excellent judgement. Think before you speak!

oh yeah. Today's an unnusually boring V-day. After three wonderful years, I'm starting to understand why many hate it. We don't get free sweets and chocolates and the like!

Oh, I remember how I would go to school early in the morning and make my rounds, placing sweets and chocolates on everyone's table and then writing my message on the white board since not many were in school yet. (with the exception of the guys who hang out in the dark)

Then once I return, my table won't be empty as gifts were exchanged. I liken it to an early Christmas sans the mistletoe, stockings and pine trees. I'll get more sweets, chocolates, sourveniours like a paperweight, finger puppets, cards, letters and the like. And we wish one and all a very happy Valentine. Gawd, I really miss those days in Anderson. We're like the few, if not only school with such a tradition. Not sure if the juniors continued with this traditionlah...

it's just that this year, I don't get to enjoy it. lol. A part of me dislikes it but the other is rather content. (but more towards bored. There's nothing special on tv like a top 40 most awesome love songs or something like that. No, the Torino Games don't count. Hurling's fun to play, but not to watch. Figure skating was in the morning; clashing with Oprah.)

Argh. So to save money (ok, I'll admit, I'm broke),

here's wishing one and all Happy V-or Friendship-or-singles-appreciation-or-hallmark-or-whatver-you-call-it Day!

Ps. I've already filled in my Form A. Have you? You have until tmr 5pm to do so.
