reuse, reduce, recyyyycle
it was a dreadful waste and we wanted to do a good deed. so there we were, the boot laden with old textbooks and notes, driving round and round for a good half hour looking for a damn recycling bin.
we tried petrol kiosks, community centres (but they were closed as it was late at night so i really dont know if they have them at all) and the salvation army (we were donating clothes too. see? we are adamant to do good.) and even contemplated heading for NTU cos that's the only place any of us is sure has a freaking recycling bin.
it's so idiotic.
we probably caused more air pollution with all the driving around looking for a damn bin to do a damn bit of good deed.
im sure it's near impossible to find a bin without the help of the internet.

but yknow, personally, i dont know anyone who keeps themselves updated with the NEA website.
and.
there are so many campaigns to get citizens to try to adopt all sorts of socially responsible behaviour but then once the campaigns are over they're deader than dead and count yourself lucky if anyone can even remember there was ever such a campaign. yellow ribbon? purple ribbon? yellow with pink stripes ribbon? yellow with green trimmings ribbon? can you even tell i made up most of them?

much ado about nothing
i cant believe the incredible amount of coffeshop talk, newspaper space and blogwars going on about one girl's view on the use of handicapped toilets.
she has her own opinion on it, and you have yours, and everyone must simply agree to disagree. i dont see a problem, do you?
but apparently it is, because she's not just anyone, is she?
she's the most widely-read blogger in singapore and so she has to be politically-correct? she actually makes money out of blogging, and therefore her rantings carry more weight? she spouts vulgarities on her blog and so people should give two shits?
why do people care so much about what she says? like it, read it. dont like it, dont read it. sounds simple enough to me.
and it's so warped how the same people who hate reading her blog are the same ones who eagerly patronise it daily. same goes for many other blogs boasting high readerships - they inevitably attract numerous hate mails, tagboard wars and the like. what gives? people have this warped love-hate relationship thing with such blogs and dont even realise it.
i am a xiaxue reader myself. i dont agree with some of her opinions, and certainly not some of her colourful language, but so what?
even though i do feel that she could've rephrased the whole chunk in a more placid manner, i happen to agree with her on her take on the use of handicapped toilets. you use them, i use them, so does that makes us callous vermin now? and as far as i know, handicapped toilets are not an offence for the able-bodied to use, unlike handicapped parking lots which only allow cars with a certain car decal indicating the presence of a disabled person to use them. it's more like those tables in food centres with extra spacious seats and a wheelchair sign on the tabletops. normal people can use them, but pls, to give priority to those in wheelchairs. or the elderly seats coloured green in public buses. i dont see anyone flogging someone for sitting on them when there happens to be no old person around.
what i really dont get is, what, for crying out loud, the whole hoo-ha is at the very heart of the matter. members of the educated public not condoning one girl having an opinion? hokkien-expletive spewers having a bone to pick with her flagrant references to female unmentionables? or perhaps they just dont like her face?
what's the fuss?
dont you have something else better to do?
it's like this picture. at first glance, it seems to make sense. but then you take a second look at it and you ask yourself, just what the hell is this guy looking at?
or am i just missing something?

someday ill write a proper entry
ive said this before, and ill say it again.
dang the dengue.
symptoms of dengue fever
bummer indeed. indeedy-deed.
on a brighter note, there's actually a music group which calls itself 'dengue fever'. how queer.
i wonder if they have a team mascot...
boredom doesnt suit the sister and i. when we get together, we always end up taking stupid pictures. more hers than mine, always. my lappie is filled with moronic pictures of her. someday, i will blackmail her. hur hur hur
and because we're both so stewpit, we used a baby chrysanthemum as a prop in our cam-whoring. it posed as a huge, festering, pus-filled pimple.
i didnt know i took more dumbo pics than she did.
havent finish, still got.
this is an amazing advertisement!
as is this.
makes me think of "put the lime in the Coke, you nut, and drink it all up"
ping pong took this picture :) ive meant to publish this for a long time. her frontal profile is even more salah. reallyreallyreally!! too bad we couldn't get a picture of her cakey, wayang makeup on her lao chio-minus-the-chio-part face.
vs 
which side are you on?
even the hilton sisters have jumped in the debacle. attempting to steal a little borrowed limelight, perchance?
complete with slytherin and gryffindor colours respectively... *cough*each sister wearing a team shirt, walking out arm in arm. it's brilliant, it's like a mini PR stunt! i mean, they cant be offending any one camp at the risk of their career, can they? by 'career' i mean exclusive invites to the best parties in celebdom, which is, uh, their career. dont you think nicky hilton looks like she has a better body than paris in these pictures? and she has a more natural looking face too. paris hilton should have her own wax replica in mdm tussauds. it'll really look like the real thing. *end bitching*
this is severely unfair. this is blatantly biased.
why isnt there a 'team nanny' or 'team law' shirt???
blogging makes me sleepy... someday ill write a proper, thoughtful entry ok? err heh. bye!
dang the dengue.
symptoms of dengue fever
- high fever (but not always. isn't it strange, considering it is dengue fever)
- red spotted rashes (not always)
- loss of appetite despite a growling tum
- general lethargy/inability to sit and stand for long
- dangerous dip in white blood cells and/or platelets. you cant tell unless you get a blood test done so if you notice any of the above symptoms, dont hesitate to ask for one. WBCs are like the body's front-line soldiers, attacking all foreign bacteria, viruses and fungi that penetrates your system. i guess you dont need me to tell you that they are very important to you. platelets are like the body's internal band-aids, sticking to wounds and thereby preventing excessive blood loss. so imagine if you have a critically low number of platelets, which is what dengue fever does to you - a fall can cause massive internal bleeding which cannot be stopped. and then you die.
bummer indeed. indeedy-deed.
