Dear Santa

I do not need or do not want a Chanel handbag, a cruise on the Caribbean, or a diamond ring.

But I do have a few things that I really desire. I've been a good girl, so it would be nice if you could give me these items.

1. Indoor airer to hang my clothes. 13 quid.

2. A hand mixer. 13 quid. (Well, would love a purple kitchen aid, but I am perfectly happy with a cookworks one for now)

3. A pedal bin. 8 quid.

That's all. The faster the better.

Most lovingly,
Jo

Wat?!

I was reading the paper on an article "Hard to swallow" by Micheal Shmith and came across a comment so provoking, I had to blog about it. He is writing about the sins of restaurants and what's not acceptable all the way from A to Z. Here's the one I'm real unhappy about:

Y- Yum Cha. The best excuse for bad manners ever invented. What other cuisine in the world judges its success from who can make the greatest number of soy-sauce stains on the tablecloth in the shortest possible time?

Geesssssshhhhhh! Is he already out of idea what to right by Y? This is such an insult to Chinese Cuisine! I wish I can tell him straight in the face that we actually don't dip our dim sum into soy-sauce because it's already salty enough. Duh~! These people are trying to tell us to taste the natural goodness of each dish (Refer to his P-pepper) and there, they go dipping unnecessarily in sodium. He's such an IDIOT! Like every other ang-moh that's trying to be 'oriental'. I know I'm going to offend a lot of people but this is the truth.

Look around you, whities. How many japanese actually use soy-sauce (and no wasabi) with their sushi? *roll eyes* Plus, I truly believe the reason for the so many soy-sauce stains on the editor's tablecloth is largely due to his pretentious act of trying to use the chopsticks.

What other cuisines have bad manners? Islamic and Indians eat with their hands. Are they lacking table manner? I certainly don't think so. It's their culture. Seriously, please stop being pretentious.

---went to write an online comment for that article----

*deep sigh* No longer that angry but still offended. I seriously think the editor just ran out of things to say and wrote something for the sake of writing. Along with the points above, I added that tableclothes are all changed before next customer(s) is being seated.

Exam + Anger = Exhaustion. Therefore, bye bye.

- i can use my lappie without it 'burning' my thighs
- i can read and write on the bed
- i can read and write when the lights are off (cause i have my own mini lamp)

=D motivation for me to study hard

Romeo, where are u?

*sigh* why?

Why isn't there any guy who is willing to go distance for me?

Why is it that there's no guy throwing pebbles at my window? or sing to me outside my house? or scream my name out loud and say that he loves me?

Why is it that there's no guy chasing after me with truckloads of gifts?

Why is there no guy who would keep pursuing even if I 'reject' him one wor?

Why is there no guy who would keep pujuk-ing me?

*sigh*

cupid, cupid. strike me.
