You see so much Non-Dairy Creamer at events and places in Singapore and Southeast Asia that when you see Milk, it's very gratifying.

I didn't know that SIA hired stewardesses outside the Greater Singapore area, but I saw a Japanese one one day. So much for the Singapore Girl.

I hate sites that spam you and then claim your "friend" has sent you a message. WAYN (Where Are You Now), I'm looking at you.

When Singaporeans pay the smallest amount for something, they seem to think that they have the right to abuse it as they wish, and that those who do not pay for the same thing are somehow morally inferior. This explains why some motorists think that cyclists deserve to be knocked down because the former pay road tax and the latter don't. This might also explain why free toilets in Singapore are often cleaner than the ones you have to pay 10 or 20 cents to use, as well as why library books are free to borrow.

It's not a "tele-conversation", damnit. It's a "phone call"!

If homophobes are repressed homosexuals, do feminists secretly want to be dominated?

Someone told me that someone else told her that most guys lose interest in you [if you're a girl] when they find out you're attached. She didn't believe it at first, wanting to believe in the goodness of human nature, but she eventually realized that her friend was speaking the truth.


[On "Bananas" in Singapore] "I simply refuse to speak Chinese since I am more comfortable with English; imagine how it would be like if African-Americans were asked if they speak swahili, afrikaans or whatever their ancestors' tongues was" (one can add the English speaking folks of Greek, Italian, French, Spanish, etc descent in the US)

"Guys are like bonds, they take a long time to mature.
Girls are like options, they expire quickly."
