| I saw a guy who cut the new army no.4 slacks to convert into casual berms. Huh? I m not sure what is the function of the small piece of lime that comes with your fried hokkien mee.
traditionally i was made to believe that it is for u to squeeze the lime onto your mee to give it a siap siap taste which will enhance yr eating experience.
but recently, if u realised over the years, the lime is getting smaller and smaller, until even if u squeeze the lime in, it wun even be enuf to seep into the middle layer, dun talk abt seeping thru the whole plate lor.
the amount of lime juice is so little to the point that it loses its original function: to make the mee siap siap.
So my question is: Why continue putting the lime? It has been relegated to a secondary function, that of decoration. it becomes the same as the flower on the restaurant dish, the NTUC receipts for small purchases which you dun usually check but they still give u anyway, the irritating brochures given out by part time contract staff at bus stops and MRT stations.
The piece of lime has become like them: There for the sake of being there. (I think out of the 4, the flower on restaurant dish at least got the strongest case for being aesthetically useful, but even then it's in poor taste, no pun intended)
So the next time u order hokkien mee, or mee siam for that matter, pause-peek-ponder abt my this post. Thanks. I have a question: where is tina turner now? This will make a remarkable but brilliant general knowledge quiz question. | | |
| if u are cabbing home alone and suddenly smell a fart smell in the cab, but you didn't fart, that means... singapore is clean and green but singaporeans are not clean and green. | | |
| I am very very pleased to know that Mas Selamat Hari Raya has been caught. It is a huge relief he has been captured. They better chain him up properly this time. I have a good mind to suggest that we suck him dry of all info related to the JI and then stage an "unfortunate accident" where he chokes on fishball and dies, so that we don't have to worry about him escaping again. nene. I dun understand those people who zng their sports cars with colorful lights. E.g. I saw a car today which had alien green lights emitting from underneath the car and blue and red brake lights. My point is, he zng already for what? What is the use of znging the outside until it is so impressive if he cannot see/admire his masterpiece because he has to be inside the car all the time while driving? Then when he off the engine, all the lights go out anyway. Unless he drives to some carpark, keep engine running, dashes out and stands far off to admire the lights. U think he will do that? How come people are willing to spend this kind of money for other people's viewing pleasure? It is like u pay a fortune to doll up/mary chia-rise your gf, then you put her on orchard road, u go home, and then come back at 6 to collect her. These nincompoops should at least consider collecting "viewing fee" from us right? If he zngs the sound system, then this I can understand better. Because he is inside the car can enjoy the sonic boom. But I dun understand why zng the useless lights. This is different from a girl who likes to dress up to look good, there is a big difference. Girls who dress up always go toilet to look into the mirror and through that they derive the pleasure of seeing their pretty selves. But car owners where got giant mirrors to drive up to? conclusion is: zng lights is useless. Recently there are these new handicap-friendly buses on the roads. Their design leaves much to be desired: The treacherous steps, the "Mind your head" low ceilings, the lack of seats, the super small twin seat locatted just behind the driver which i duno is for small kids or what, super small. The funny thing is, it was supposed to give the handicapped (esp wheel chair bound) passengers a more comfy ride. But how often u see a wheelchair person board the bus u are on? For me is zero, after taking this kind of bus for at least half a year. So if wheelchair people dun take these buses + able bodied people are inconvenienced = wasted the money to make these buses correct? | | |
| I dun understand what's so special or nice about the clothes exhibited at fashion shows and on the runways. They are at extreme ends of the spectrum: either they are totally bizarre or outrageous in appearance or they are plain and super ordinary like what you can see on the streets. But just because the designers are popular (usually coz they know some politician, mafia boss, are some rich man's son, or their designs happen to click with any of the above 3 categories of ppl) that's why they get all the attention. I think all are over-rated. Real talent is neglected. If you got money and power u become famous. All this is a waste of time.
Eg 1
 The red dress special meh? In fact quite ugly. the shoulders pong pong. The body is just a plain red shiny cloth. Nice meh? versace lei. Pui.
Eg 2
Even a kid can design this crap. I could come up with 100 such ridiculous designs in just 1 hour. I might as well put the model in an elephant suit wearing a turban and call it "art". Just anyhow draw out the design can already. chanel lei. Pui.

| (When u read the title of my post, you will straightaway think of porno, correct? Don't deny, all who own up will get praises from me. But that's all, just praises.) Fantasy 1
There is this woman who takes the same bus as me to work every morning. When I see her, she reminds me of Boy George from Culture Club. I cannot help it. When my eyes set upon her only, the Karma Chameleon intro will play in my head. The most prominent sound in my head is the harmonica part. You can watch the below video and the harmonica part starts at 0:08 sec. When you hear the harmonica, you will be able to feel what I feel when I see her.

When you watch the video, imagine you are in my shoes, you see this woman, then the song play. The whole atmosphere will then start to invade your senses. She looks something like the Boy George at 0:08 sec of the video also, but she is not as pretty. But the hair same. She took the same bus home with me today so I buay tahan, had to let out on this blog.
So conclusion is: I fantasize that the woman I take same bus with is Boy George.
Fantasy 2
I duno if I blog about this before. The problem with public buses is that people dun move to the back to allow others to board at the front. I am ok with these people because when I reflect on myself, if I am in their shoes, I also wun move back. Crazy is it? Move back then very hard to alight from bus. Must "excuse me" and then some ppl quite fat will block u also. They want to excuse me also cant move much, unless they press their groin on the seated passenger in front of them? So i dun blame them at all. But SBS actually got a simple solution: Buy buses that have 3 doors lah. The first 2 are in the current positions now. The 3rd door you put near the tail end of the bus lor. Simple. Lidat no one will be scared to move back already.
Why SBS never do it?
1) Cost? How expensive can extra door be? Or will it use up alot of extra fuel to open and close a 3rd door? Anyway aggregation of demand will neutralise this reason.
2) Safety? If door is closed when bus moving, it will only be as "dangerous" as the other 2 doors we already using.
3) Space contraints? I think you just need to make it big enough for 1 person to board/alight at any one time can already. No need to fit 2 ppl side by side (i.e. the width of existing doors). So if that's the case, you very most sacrifice 2 seats, but in the end u can squeeze another 6 or 7 people on board (this estimation is not over the top coz I see how ppl have the most amazingly ingenuous ways of squeezing onto buses). Another way is, reduce the width of the existing 2 doors to limit only 1 person on/off at any one time, lidat you make up for the lost space of having 3 doors.
4) Aesthetic reasons? This reason will only be possible if the CEO really guai4 pi4, like 2 door buses only. Else nothing wrong with 3-doored buses.
5) Policy? I doubt it. But even if it is really policy issue, policies can be changed one..
Another thing is, NUS is another strange fella. Their internal shuttle buses also got the same problem but theirs is front and back got door but middle no door. I find it very strange that no one in SBS or the vendor who supply NUS internal shuttle considered this solution. And if they came up with lame excuses (e.g. space constraints) then they are ignoring the big problem by focusing on the little problem.
So conclusion is: My fantasy is to one day take a 3-doored public bus. | | |
