A few days ago I went to a prata shop. Normally, all the shop attendants would be Indians, so I was mentally prepared to say something like "one egg, one kosong, makan". However, this shop has a Chinese attendant. She approached me with "Xiao3 Di4, ni3 yao4 shen2 me4?" For a while I couldn't think of what to say, since I've never ordered prata in Mandarin before.

Zilin has a very nice variation to the story. But I wouldn't decide for her to post it here.

Once, I was eating grapes without plucking off the grapes from the stalk, just eating it from the stalk. I said, "I feel like a king. Like, in the movies or drama serials, in the past only the kings can afford to eat grapes." My sister asked, "What about farmers?" I replied, "Nah, they are too poor." She replied, "What about grape farmers?"

I realize that when a game you play is suspected to be a hentai game, stating that YY plays it too doesn't vindicate you at all.

Watched Jay Chou's "Secret" and watched campus superstar.

I can't say much about "Secret" because the nature of the movie makes it very easy to spoil. Nevertheless, after the movie, everyone was poking each others' cheeks and I tell you, IT IS FRIGGING GAY! Sarge poked my cheek when I was eating, it felt very queer. Yes, I mean queer in every sense of the word queer.

Campus superstar. the RGS girl went off key quite a few times. Keely got 25.5, which is the highest score that anyone ever got in the whole show. I didn't like her performance very much though.

The guys, they are VERY good. Shawn sang "爱你不是爱给别人看" which is a very nice song. But it's an emo song, which he didn't sing in an emo way. One of the judges showed off his imba singing to show Shawn what the falsetto is supposed to sound like. Marcus sang "爱如潮水" which is also a nice song. (but I liked Shawn's song better.) Emo song which he sang in an emo way, pretty good. Benjamin picked "Xiaxue" which I don't really like. But his ability to 放电 kinda makes up for it.

On a random note, there is a guy from Odex Singapore called Stephen Sing Xin Yang, who is probably the most hated person by the Singapore anime downloaders. For more details, here.

Anyway, my point is, I'm glad that he has a Christian name, so the anime downloaders will curse Stephen Sing instead of inadvertently cursing me.

Another random note, one of the two national day songs, "Where I want to be"

I’ve walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay
I’ve seen the neon signs on ole Broadway
I’ve climbed the Eiffel Tower
The Great Wall in one hour
Experienced the sweet and sour but that’s okay

Limerick!
