singapore touch

other half and i donated three quarter of our possession of 8days and iweekly magazines to straits kitchen tis afternoon after we had lunch there. i simply love their hainanese chicken rice. their garlic chilli is superb as well. three quarter cos we forgot the one quarter that was in my suitcase of books. so we thought instead of letting these magazines collecting dust in the corner or go into the recycling bins, they'll do better in straits kitchen for that extra singapore touch. other half and myself made a pact to dine at straits kitchen at least once a week, to show our support for singapore cuisine, so that there'll be here to stay and that singaporeans in sydney can continuously and conveniently have a taste of home. i do hope more singaporeans in sydney will come forward to show their support for our fellow singaporean uncle and his wife (i assume) in their restaurant stint here. the couple are both very friendly and approachable. they do not compromise quality of their food. say the nasi lemak is not up to standard on a particular day, they wont sell it. where to buy find [EDITED 22/06/05] such businessman these days?

now i know why the penguins were so well liked by pple after they've watched madagascar (or click here for the real place). i like them too. all except the leader who was so cocky and scheming. was he planning something against the four who went on board the vessel back to new york? or did i misinterpret it? i cant help laughing when i saw one of the penguins applying sunblock on his belly. it reminded me so much of myself. i have the habit of reapplying sunblock while walking on the street. not very glam i know but i heck care. :P

remember the happy-go-lucky gal who loves drinking, working with me at the uni? she sent us a postcard with a picture of the orlos (i tried to google it but yielded infutile results. it might be a czech word from what i remembered. anyway, its some sort of a clock tower or clock mechanism) at the black square (cant find tis on google too. i wonder if she meant old town square) from prague or praha (in czech). truly a beautiful city with intricate architecture and not forgetting history stretched into the medieval times. another great place to add on the must-go list.

below are two random thoughts of mine that i wish to get off my chest.

1. keeping a pet. it is so not an alternative to raising a kid with less responsibilities. i cant stand some pet owners who happily bring the cute lil puppy or kitten home but treat it with such inhumanity. these animals have their voices too. dont think that they dont speak our language means they have no say or rights. heard of animal rights?
2. demeaning pple. to some pple out there who speak without thinking twice. i suggest they examine themselves before opening their gaps and start demeaning pple. remember, dont be like pot, calling the kettle black.

okay, i better cool down. i'm gonna relax on my bed with my better homes and gardens magazine now. ciao.

p.s: no one offended me. i was jus mad on behalf of someone. %@#&*^$%#@!!!!
