Love the way they translated the english version of the sign board....

big Panda brand ciggies

I was told that "ta xiong mao" ciggies were exclusively for Deng Xiao Ping's sucking pleasures during his time. And to display the pack of ciggies on restaurant dinner tables would possibly empower you with exceptional hospitality from the waiters.

It costs bloody 108 yuan (S$20.60) at the Guangzhou international airport for a pack of 20 ciggies. I was lucky I bought it there, cos the rest of the places either didn't sell it, or are sold at the range of 110 to 120 yuan. The sales person at the shop didnt' believe that I would want to purchase it, maybe cos I don't look like I could afford it. There were actually several other alternative brands available.... like the "xiao xiong mao" in green packaging.

Locals tell me that only the corupt officials smoke that in China. Probably as pressies from the businessmen wanting a good deal.

Changi DFS has them for sale now... at approx. $56 for a pack of 100 ciggies.

spoilt!!!

Thursdays are my longest days in uni this semester. Lessons start at 8am and lasts 5 non-stop hours. Then there is a 2 hour break before 2 more hrs of lessons...

In summary, 8am to 5pm. With a 2 hr lunch break. Yeah, and i'm whining. It's probably going to be one of the lightest days if i were to compare this to my working life...

maybe cos a student shouldn't be studying for too long a period of time - mental block. any thing extra is just a waste.

8 to 5... complain? slacker!!!

finally, it's my turn

It's been many many moons... since the fateful night of 19th May 2004. Many of my frens have actually dreamt of him many times... ironically - these frens don't really know him well at all..... while he has NEVER once appeared in my dreams...

Well, last night he did!!! That slacker was still all that he was supposed to be.... enjoying life, calculating and planning all his moves like an expert chess player.

Miss that slacker... Have fun my fren... wherever u may be...

It's the hungry ghost festival in singapore now isn't it? And this year there are 2 consecutively righto? oooohhh..... scary!!!

being Nice

Are there nice ple out there still, especially with the coming of age?

I would think that when ple are young / younger, one would/could be nice - genuinely nice. Nice for the sake of nice cos they were simply nice. Innocent nice. Like how kids seated in front of you on a public bus can turn back to look/stare at you; while adults/adolescents when caught looking at someone (of the opposite sex especially) quickly looks down or away.

It's like as we grow 'wiser', personal agendas often gets implicated in simple everyday life stuffs. I'm sure there are nice ple out there... but are they nice cos they are kiddo nice? or are there hidden agendas?

Cynical Bastard!!!

Reiki Rocked

Fark, it's been so long since I last had something to go on the blog... cos I bloody had so much fun, blogging was the last thing on me mind.

On my solid and unforgetable summer school holidays, I had the good fortune (thanks to me best cuz) of travelling to Bangkok. And thru a strange twist of good timing and fate, I managed to catch Reiki's gig in Club Astra along RCA.

People were falling asleep before the "lady of breaks" came on... literally, cos my frens were. She saved the day. Even me cuz with a stiff neck was "cured" by her upbeat numbers.

Kudos to Reiki!!!
