Cancerous Food Products
I logged in to my mail today and I found something that made me scream. Thing is, I eat instant noodles every night just before I go to sleep. As a matter of fact, I just burped thanks to that "ready in 2 minute dough" that we all know very well. What you call that? Maggi Mee or something? Anyways, according to recent research, it seems that maggi mee causes cancer. I don't know how far it's true but, for once, I actually paid attention to this forwarded mail sent to me. And I don't really consider this a forwarded email. Reason being that it didn't contain the sentence "Please send it to million others and spoil their happiness. If not your grandmother will die of dengue fever." So I'll just consider this an email sent out of good will since it came from a very trustworthy source. Have a read for yourself. My remarks in italics.
INSTANT NOODLES
Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor: My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about wax coating the noodles. The wax is not just found in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking. If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that in their uncooked state, the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together. Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together. The hawker then lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. [I is keeping a close eye on that hawker who does my laksa the next time round. Fucker must have known that mee causes cancer. Gimme so much mee and very little cockles and chili not even spicy enough to make my nipples erect. CCB]
Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a big clump of spaghetti! There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax. There was also an SIA steward who, after moving out from his mother's house and into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died from it. Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as "Cancer Noodles" [Fucking hell, I bombard 2-3 packets of noodles per day and now only they think of telling me all this? Which wax they use? The Gatsby one that comes in the red, green, blue or the black tube?? And how come no women die one? All talk about men only leh??]
SATAY LOVERS (BARBECUE)
If you all eat satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating Satay together with carbon after barbequing [Got such word in england meh?] can cause cancer. But we have a cure for that. Cucumber should be eaten after we eat the Satay because Satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber is anti-carcinogenic. So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have satay. Prawns & vitamin C do not get along. Do not eat shrimp/prawn if you have just taken vitamin C pills. This will cause you to die in arsenic intoxication within hours!! [See, this is a good news for someone who doesn't take vitamin C pills and is allergic to prawns.]
Pork awareness: Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. This goes with your "Bak Kut Teh" for those who love it. Most men [Again men?] love to eat this so watch out before it's too late. If you pour Coke on a slab of pork, wait a little while. You will see worms crawl out of it. A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the bad effects of pork consumption. [I am so gonna try this tomorrow morning.]
Pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food. Including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs. Influenza [This means flu, the 'cheem' version] is one of the most famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. These illnesses are harbored in the lungs of pigs during the summer month and tend to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.
Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who eat pork sausage tend to suffer more during epidemics of influenza. Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation, growth hormone which promotes inflammation and growth, Sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage resulting in arthritis and rheumatism. For example, Sulphur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues and degeneration of human cartilage.
Eating pork can also lead to Gallstones and Obesity, probably due to its high cholesterol and saturated fat content. The pig is the main carrier of the Taenie Solium worm, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage.
One in six people in the US and Canada has richinosis from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork. Many people have no symptoms to warm them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections. [Now I have a reason to laugh at my chinkies who make fun of how small my calves are and about how good pork is for the calf. Laugh la laugh. We'll see who'll panic tomorrow.]
SHAMPOO
Cancer-causing substances were found in shampoos. Go home and check your shampoo. Change before it's too late. Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos. Manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of foam and is cheap. But, the fact is, SLS is used to scrub garage floors and it is very strong! It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run. This is no joke. [So from hereafter, I is breaking my own record. I is not gonna bathe for a month. Better not take the risk. Wait next month someone will tell me soap contains leukemia.]
Shampoos like Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo from Body Shop contains the SLS substance. The first ingredient listed [which means it is the single most prevalent ingredient] in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Therefore, I called one company, and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said "Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that substance to produce foam." [I is safe. I use Pantene]
By the way, Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the "bubbles". They said they are going to send me some information. Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000. Now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3,which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all the people you know and hopefully we can stop giving ourselves cancer-causing agents. [Roger that, Sir]

Cheat now. Get Cheated Later.
Found off a blog. A pretty interesting piece of writing I'd say. And if you liked what you're about to read, pay a visit to the blog here. And this lil' piece of story depicts my very own saying that goes:
Wile now. We'll see who'll smile awhile later.
Anyways, the story, goes like this:
A bunch of smart MBA students about to give their final paper just got nicely drunk & did not study. Next day morning remorse filled them & they thought of a brilliant idea of fooling their dean to cover their absence.
They painted their hands & dresses with oil & grease &, with disheveled hair, they burst in the examination hall where the paper was going on. They painted a sob story of how their car developed a flat tyre the previous night on a desolate road & how they didn't get any help & had to rough out back to the campus which they reached just a few minutes earlier.
They pleaded for a re-exam after a few days. The dean said he was a reasonable man & he would give the re-exam after three days. The boys worked hard for the three days & went to the hall confidently. The dean explained that since this was an extraordinary request, the four students will give the examination from four different halls, the question paper being the same. The question paper was given to the four halls. It had 100 marks. The first question which had just 5 marks was simple. The second question which had 95 marks was:
"WHICH TYRE??"

"I Miss You"
So now, I have a valid reason to not update on time and save myself the questioning. I is a working adult. And to work 12 long, dull, boring hours at Motorola, ain't a joke. And yes, when I say Motorola, it's handphones that we're talking about.
Work starts at 6.30pm and comes to an end a devastating 12 hours later. Basically, you play hide and seek with the sun. You go in when it's bright and come out when it's dark. It's a prisoner's life that I live these days. And owing to that, I hardly come online. Hardly enough time for phonecalls. And absolutely no time to slack.
I'm sorry if you've been trying to contact me but can hardly get through to me. When I am back from work, all I do is sleep and wake up just in time to rush for work and still be 5-10 minutes late. If you think you're game enough to try and still stay awake to blog or hang on the phone, I challenge you. It's gonna be eye swelling. I kid you not. Anything important, just leave me an email. I'll definitely get the message.
Anyways, I miss all my friends. I really do. I feel like I've been disconnected from the world. It's been so long since I slacked in my beloved St. George or really spent a good day with my girlfriend or even called my beloved cousin or Banu or Ah Neh or Madhu or any of my friends for that matter. I'll be working till the 31st of December. And keep yourselves free after that. Coz when I is in control of money, everything else gets uncontrollable.
On a more serious note, I wish to add that, I really love Saras (My cousin) alot. I have no sister but the only person to me who'll pass off as a sister would definitely be my darling Saras. Today she was happy to see me in MSN. We had a chat. End of the conversation, I was left with two things. One, a heavy heart for the next one week and the other, a glimpse of what kinda brother I would have been had I a sister.
I gotta agree that any sister would hate a over protective and naggy brother like me. After the chat with saras, I felt like I was a lil' too naggy and way too emotional. Too emotional for comfort and way too naggy for care. God knows if she knows how much I love her but I hope she understands that I do. Old enough she may be, but still a baby to me at any age. And by the way, you wouldn't want to have a naggy lil' brother like me. Here's why:
Saras: Praba!!!
Me: Hello baby! Watcha doing?
Saras: I gonna go Malaysia soon. Take care ok? Tell meena (my girlfriend) also.
Me: (Confused) When u going??
Saras: Soon.
Me: (In shock and with tension building up) Today??!
Saras: Haha. Yes. You have been so busy. You working at night right?
Me: (Pissed) Waaa!! Argh!! Yea, night shift.
Saras: I work in tekka everyday but this is why I don't call you. I don't want to disturb your sleep. Today no work for you?
Me: Today I took off la. Too tired. What time you leaving?
Saras: Hmm, between 7 to 8pm.
Me: Waaa. Then when you coming back?
Saras: I think in one week time!!!
Me: (In utter shock) WAAAAAAAAAA!!
Saras: Take care ok darling? Tell meena also.
Me: Sure. You too. But so long???
Saras: Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I'll miss you la assss!
Me: (Dejected) Me too. =(
Saras: =( You working everyday. No time lar.
Me: Yea most of the time will be at work only.
Saras: That's why!!!
Me: Which part of Malaysia you going to?
Saras: Genting Island.
Me: Nice place I heard.
Saras: Yea, but it's raining la.
Me: That's why! Why you going during the rainy season for? Will be difficult.
Saras: Plus it's super cold.
Me: Exactly!
Saras: And I got running nose somemore.
Me: (Worried as hell) Better bring along sweater and all ok?! And bring along flu medicine! And drink lots of water hor!!
Saras: Sure. And I'm scared I'll get sick la.
Me: I also fear the same thing. Drink warm water everyday ok? Good for health. You got flu medicine anot??!!
Saras: I guess so.
Me: Bring along just in case.
Me: You got sweater all not?
Saras: Got, but not so thick la. Normal one only. How ah?
Me: Then wear a shirt inside then wear the sweater always. Bring along a scarf just in case to cover your neck area. Make sure you wear shoes. Always wear thick socks. If slippers means your toes will be cold. And be careful with the people around there. I just don't like them. I don't want some weird fella swarming around my cousin. I will definitely slash him.
Saras: Sure, my darling brother!!! No worries, I will be safe.
Me: You will be. I am sure.
Saras: Ok my darling, I have to go now. You take care. I am sooooooooo gonna miss you. I don't know if I can call or message but will try ok? *Hugs* You take care.
After she left, I felt heavy for a while. I'll just have to hope that she's having a good time. My poor baby is leaving with the flu virus attacking her. Let's all pray that she'll be fine and come back with a very warm story to tell me.
When I blog, there has to be a reason. I don't just sign in to blogger and start typing till my fingers get tired while my mum keeps screaming for an explanation on why the internet bill shot up to $200 for nothing. So learn the lesson. Next time, say the words "I miss you" or "I love you" on time. I am so gonna miss my baby. And something has been bothering me on why all this while I couldn't have just picked up the phone and dialled her number to tell her how much I miss her. I am gonna be heavy for the next one week. Trust me. If someone means that much to you, pick up the phone and let them know how much they mean to you. Adios.

Indian Identification
Ever noticed that nigger that's walking down the road with all that fake blings and basketball jersey only to take a closer look and find out that he has curry stains on his jersey and his fake diamond falls off when he exerts pressure while rubbing his ears and he is actually Indian? Since we're the next closest to them (in terms of colour), it's kinda hard on finding out who's who. A massive load of them are running around thinking that they're the next Tupac when they don't know shit about Tupac. And if you're one of those who's walking around thinking you're so cool in that oversized basketball jersey which my mum thinks is a good idea to wear as a nightie since it serves as a top and a skirt as well, here's how to find out if you're really an Indian.
You are Indian if:
1. Everything you eat is savored in garlic, onion and tomatoes.
2. You try and reuse gift wrappers, gift boxes, and of course aluminium foil.
3. You try to eject food particles between your teeth by pressing your tongue against them and making a peculiar noise which sounds like 'tshick tshick'.
4. You are standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the airport.
5. You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's perfectly normal.
6. You peel the stamps off letters that the postal service missed to mark up.
7. You recycle wedding gifts.
8. You name your children in rhythms. Example: Sita & Gita, Ram & Shyam.
9. All your children have pet names, which sound nowhere close to their real names.
10. You take Indian snacks anywhere it says "No Food Allowed"
11. You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someones house.
12. You load up the family car with as many people as possible.
13. You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it's the remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch.
14. Your parents tell you not to care what your friends think, but they won't let you do certain things because of what the other uncles and aunties will think.
15. You buy and display crockery, which is for special occasions, which never happen.
16. You have a vinyl tablecloth on your kitchen table.
17. You use grocery bags to hold garbage.
18. You keep leftover food in your fridge in as many numbers of bowls as possible.
19. Your kitchen shelf is full of jam jars, varieties of bowls and plastic utensils (Got free with some household items).
20. You carry a stash of your own food whenever you travel (And travel means any car ride longer than 15 minutes).
21. You own a rice cooker or a pressure cooker.
22. You fight over who pays the dinner bill.
23. You live with your parents and you are 40 years old. (And they prefer it that way).
24. You don't use measuring cups when cooking.
25. You never learnt how to stand in a queue.
26. You can only travel if there are 5 persons at least to see you off or receive you whether you are travelling by bus, train or plane.
27. If she is NOT your daughter, you always take interest in knowing whose daughter has run away with whose son and feel proud to spread it at the velocity of more than the speed of light.
28. You only make long distance calls after 11pm.
29. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten even if it's midnight.
30. You call an older person you never met before 'uncle'.
31. When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover you're talking to a distant cousin.
32. Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making foreign calls.
33. You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them from getting dirty.
34. It's embarrassing if your wedding has less than 600 people.
35. All your Tupperware is stained with food color.
36. You have drinking glasses made of steel.
And lastly, this I think applies perfectly for my mother.
37. You have mastered the art of bargaining in shopping.Labels: Indian

Poetic Ammo
I have a friend called Michelle. I have to admit, her poems are off the hook. I don't in any way come close to a poet but am sure as hell someone who appreciates a good poem when I read one. Now, if it's one good poem that I've read, I'd just read it for myself and move on. But if it's a blog full of wonderful poems, then I definitely have to share the joy with others. And it's so sad that the blogs that we're addicted to and always want to read, are hardly updated on time. This women hardly blogs. But, when she does, she keeps me rooted to my chair. Below is an extract from her blog. When you're done reading it and you're hooked and want more, then it's time to read all, here.
For the Love of You
Here I stand before you, without a shield-
Like a child left in an open field.
To drop my defences, down by my clothes,
I bare you my soul, with my skin exposed.
My skin is flawed with the marks you leave.
And in these scars, are my reasons to live.
With every tender touch, and every soft kiss,
You imprint on me, a state of bliss.
And on my heart, you leave an engraving,
Of your name, like the one inside my ring.
In taking that blind leap of faith, with no safety net,
I would plunge over and over with no regret.
'Cause I'd rather feel the heartache through and through,
Than to never feel what it's like to be loved by you.

Misc.
I is working 12 hour shifts from now till the 31st of December. Don't expect too much from this blog. I might update only once in a blue moon. Meanwhile, some worthwhile blogs to look at apart from the ones we already are so fond of.
Read Nalinee here.
Read Ket here.
Read Shree here.
And on a personal note, I is anticipating the opening of my cousin's blog. I will link her up as well as put up a post when she has eventually done up everything. Blogging is like a family thing these days. I just love this whole idea. And to those who aren't sure of who my darling cousin is, the picture below will serve as the answer.

Astrology
I never did quite believe in horoscopes and astrologies. I was chatting with a friend of mine in MSN when she started talking to me about my horoscope. Quite interesting how she could just tell it all without much reference to my character. What she thought was that she was predicting my character using my horoscope. What she doesn't know is that it's actually numerology and not astrology. And just in case you do palm reading, refer to picture above and email me your predictions. (Picture includes both right and left palms just in case) I find these kinda things amusing. Plus, it'll be a good read. Adios.

Women As Explained
Found off a website and on Ah Neh's blog. Rules for Women. (Please note: These are all numbered "1" on purpose!)
1) Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1) Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1) Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1) Crying is blackmail. (So is withholding sex)
1) Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1) A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1) If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1) If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1) If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1) You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1) Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1) Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1) ALL men see in only 16 colors, like windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1) If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1) If we ask what is wrong and you say "Nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1) If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
1) Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as soccer, yesterday's sex, or cars.
1) You have enough clothes.
1) You have too many shoes.
1) I am in shape. Round is a shape.
1) Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
And from hereafter, female MSN contacts beware. Ask anything that is mentioned above= Block + Delete. Adios.Labels: Women

The Ape To Man And Vice Versa Evolution
Prior to contrary believe, not all men dislike haircuts. I love haircuts. My mum knows damn sure that when I come out of the barber's shop, she'll definitely have to speak with me in private. She always prepares for a big heart attack when I say "Ma, I need $10. Wanna cut hair leh!" The only time my mum feels left out in 'bitching sessions' with my aunts is when they complain on how my cousins don't go for a haircut. Not knowing that, here, my mum is wishing my hair will not grow. Recently, not that long ago, I went for a haircut. The latest haircut is a Mohawk. (Yes yes, I is a lil' outdated) And I was looking back at my younger days. Everyone who knew me knew I was always up to something funky. And yea, I've lived up to it. It was always something different each time. Sad to say, the most fanciest of hairstyles I've adorned, I've not taken a snap of. Darn it! If you were from my secondary school, you'd know what an ovation my hair received. If you have, or know any in possession of my graduation night photos, please put me through to them. Much appreciated. Meanwhile, I'll just put up the ones which have.
It started off like this. The bloke who was in his lower secondary school days. Thinking back at it, I really don't understand how it didn't occur to me that having a baby face which doesn't compliment the piercing only makes you look more ape than human. Tsk tsk. (And don't even think for a second that I don't know you're poking fun at my ears. Rascals! ) And like it always is in your secondary school days, the 'I think I'm so cool' paraiah in you that unleashes itself. Mine came in the form of barb wires on my head.
Ever heard a student say "Ma, I finished my O' levels already. I gonna cut my hair short now kay?" Cannot be one rite? It's a trend to nicely fuck up your hair at some stage of your life. Mine came then. Having finished my O's, the Michael Jackson in me had to rip its way out at the expense of my hair. Don't blame me. It's just a small false hope that someone'll sleep with me translating long hair to longer *aherm* And this is the point in time when people called me 'Kudumi Jackson'.
No no, I wasn't scratched by dogs at the side. This is the result of two things. One is not having enough money. And two, the lack of will power. See, a long hair is like a girlfriend. How could you possibly have the heart to part when you think back at all those times you used to dig your ear with your hair rather than your fingers? All those bright pink hairbands you bought for it. All those pokemon rubberbands you used to tie your hair with. All those Pantene shampoo you used to steal from Guardian just to soak your hair in. So what actually happened is, I wanted to cut short BUT I changed my mind halfway. Don't try this at home coz 'Results Could Be Spastic'. This, I need to explain. The reason why I cut my hair, is to avoid complications. In most households, whenever there is a long strand of hair on the floor or magically in the food, it's always the women who're blamed for. In my house, whenever there is a long strand of hair misplaced, a call will go straight to my dad. And that too, is to complain about my hair being in places it shouldn't actually be at.
Last, but not least, the evolution from ape to human and then from human to ape has been fully made a reality. The latest 'injured' Mohawk. Adios. Labels: Hairstyles

The Joy Of Having A Grandmother
The fact about all dads is that whatever we're doing now, they've done it in their age. Trust me on this. From peeping at upskirts to smoking till clubbing (with the exception of dads who qualify under the nerd category), they'd have done it all. Now, you wouldn't be aware of all this facts UNLESS you have a grandmother like mine, who defends me with my dad's past, whenever he starts his advises.
Sadly, it's not everyday that we can 'jack' our fathers. But IF you ever get the chance, blog about it and show the whole blogger world what a maestro you are. For example, something that happened today like this:
Dad: I heard you came back home smelling of cigarettes and beer yesterday?
Me: Cannot be la. I don't smoke already what. And how can I possibly drink when the person who is supposed to gimme my allowance doesn't do it on time?
Dad: *Assuming that I did indeed drink and smoke* You teenagers these days don't know how to do something beneficial. Always wasting money by smoking and drinking. Wasting life away.
Me: Aiya, the age is such mah. Just blame it on the teenagers age la. Bo pian what pa.
Dad: I don't understand why both you boys (me and my bro) can't be like me when I was your age.
Me: Eh, that's not what I heard what. According to paati (grandmother), the story is a lil' different leh. Weren't you that boy who was always hammered by his dad because he was always caught drinking and smoking? Worst still, always wasn't at home because he was out with alot of girls?
Dad: *picks up the phone to call my grandmother* Labels: Dad, Grandmother

Calculative Shree
Today was a day spent chatting with friends whom I've been hardly keeping in contact with. I apologize for missing in action. From today onwards, I will dedicate my time to friends. Call me up. We'll hang out. And for today's post, I will show the blogger world how calculative my friend Shree is.
Shree: Today was my interview and I asked them about resigning. 3 day's notice. After I get a better job, will run away.
Me: Four people like you enough. Company will close down.
Shree: I'll explain. $1200 - 20% CPF equals to $960. Student fare for me one trip down is 90 cents. 24 days a week is $21.60. Food there is expensive. Say about $4. That's $96. Leaves me with $842.40. Shree is sad.
Me: I really think you should resign your current job and become an accountant. Labels: Shree

National Service-d
Weeks back, I received the second most unwelcomed letter with the exception of the enlistment letter. Which, of course, happens to be the medical letter. Not the most important of letters, in terms of personal ranks, to be placed on your table. So now we have it. I is gonna go for my medical check up on the 26th of December.
Heading for the national service is like a 2 year imprisonment for any man. The idea of national service is to ensure that we are physically and mentally prepared in times of war. But are you sure that's gonna be the case? (pun intended) And the following are top reasons why I shouldn't be in the army:
1) Food ain't good. I need more meal time than training. Good solid ones. Maybe specially catered from 'Sakunthala's restaurant'. I'd prefer with ample of 'apalams' in it. And I prefer drinks like gatorate. H2O ain't good enough officer.
2) I don't believe in pull ups or push ups. The only push ups I believe in is bras. When it boils down to a war, noone is gonna be doing a stone cold stunner or a rock bottom or a tombstone piledriver. We is issued weapons. I jus believe in pulling the trigger.
3) I don't like the colour of the boots. I was a footballer and I was sponsored a bright 'tell it your face' kinda red and white boots. The army boots are as black as me. And by the way, you gimme such heavy boots, how the hell am I supposed to navigate around? The boots probably weighs as much as me!
4) I is all hip hop and R'n'B. You mean you don't have any 'tzai tzai' uniforms? And I prefer bandanas to helmets. The closest thing you could come to hip hop is just a dog tag? Tsk.
5) I prefer the photo of me in my pink I.C rather than the bald me in my 11B.
6) Me is don't like the hairstyle. How can I be botak? Ask those who know me. My ears protrude out more than usual for my own comfort.
7) Who the hell said I am gonna fight in a war?? Are you bonkers? I sprint faster than U.K Sham when I see a cockroach and you want me to fight in a war where there is a possibility of me dying? Where those women who talked about equal rights went to? Catch them!
