Have u ever been shocked to know that things that you hated a lot a lot a lot turn out to be super duper popular and worshiped by many commoners and. I felt so gutted and disgusted when that happened to me. Caramel flavour, is a good example of it. My family and i hated caramel flavour a lot ( but we loved coffee with lots of sugar, doesnt make much sense, yes i know), but in New Zealand, also any product that you can imagine of contain caramel flavour. From McDonald's ice cream, Uncle Toby's Muesli Bar to coffee syrups & Candy, all these junks (well, some of the muesli bars are good for health i must admit though...) have caramel flavour to choose from. It's just the matter of time before Colgate deciding to produce a caramel Flavour toothpaste...
According to study, everywhere else in the world, the top 3 ice cream flavours are vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. But in New Zealand, hokey pokey takes out the second spot after vanilla, followed by chocolate. please do not mistaken this hokey pokey with the funny little hokey pokey song/dance perform by the idiotic Elmo. Hokey pokey is a ice cream flavour which is actually a vanilla with lots of caramel crystals embedded in it. i would seriously love to know who the hell gave such a kiddy name to this flavour. But then again, it might be the name that attracted the kids and then become the 2nd most popular ice cream flavour in NZ
The main reason i wrote all this shit is that I CANT BELIEVE THE TWISTED BORING DEPARTED ACTUALLY WON THE OSCAR~! the whole show is such a retard except the brilliant acting of Jack Nicholson. the only 3 words i can remembered from the show are fuck, fuck and fuck. the f word is like the adjective of every single sentence in the show, and the whole story is so twisted from the original. I have never been so proud of HK movie after i finished watching the departed. Mat Saleh, go n watch Infernal Affair, then u would know what kind of movie deserve a Oscar~!
Greeting
Have u ever pretended to be warm when u met some acquaintances on the street? and you always give each other a good handshake or a hug, then starts your short conversation by some greeting or updating each other current life or even trying to get his/her name as you have totally forgotten about their name?
hypocrisy is the capability that everyone has, its just the matter of how much you are willing to unleash it. Greeting warmly to a person you cant even recall his/her name is a good indication stating tat you have been in this world long enough to have an extended social circle and have lots of acquaintances living around you. Not only that, the way you greet your friend also provides an indication of your age....
at the age of 15, i would asked the acquaintance :" how's study? where did you attend your physic tuition?"
at the age of 18, i would asked the acquaintance: " how's your result? getting any scholarship? where you studying?"
at the age of 22: " how's ur study? when are you graduating?"
age of 23:" how's job hunting?"
and currently, this is how i greet my acquaintance " how's your baby? and your wife doing good?"
its just the matter of time before i start asking my friend which school their children are studying at......

Studentville
once again, its THE orientation week. If you are one of those student that experienced orientation that involved dumbass games and bully, you have my sympathy. Here, THE Studentville, celebrate orientation with 3 activities : Drink, Party and Sex.
It may be considered as socially unacceptable in the eastern world, but hey, each society have their own boundary. As you are pointing finger at them saying how disgusting it is, the other 4 fingers of yours are pointing at you back with disgust on how could we eat all kind of exotic animals and paying huge sum of money for the vomits of swallow.
sadly, most of us are too easily label something as bad although it actually means something is 'not my cup of tea'. i learned this theory from my sister friend of mine, when he came down from penang and had a taste of klang Bah Kut Teh. When my sister asked him how does it taste like, he told my sister that the Bah Kut Teh does not suit his taste. My sister then asked him what so bad about the Bah Kut Teh here, then he told my sister:" dont get me wrong, i did not say it is bad, what i am saying is that it does not suit his taste as i'm used to the penang-style Bah Kut Teh. There is a huge difference between this two statement, but most of us are unaware of it"
happy chinese new Year

Chinese New Year
Speaking of tradition, i've been visiting my maternal grandparent on the first day of Chinese New Year for the past 22 years. 22 years is a amazing figure as far as i am concerned. There's so many things could happen in these 22 years and prevented my family from keeping this tradition. But no, we maintained a really good relationship with my extented family, and like my mum said, " We had sign the contract with grandpa, and this is the one n only request that grandpa ever requested to his son n daughter."
My grandpa is a noble and humble man. He love cooking, but love all of us even greater. He was a pig farm that ranked lowly in the society. He lived rather poorly along with 9 sons n daughter. But his believed in education changed everything and bear fruits in 20 years. All my uncles graduated with fancy degree and they are earning heaps n HEAPS~ of money. His vision and father love earned the respect and love from all of us. Non of his son would ever hesitate to bring him around or stay along with them for weeks. Letting ur own dad stay with you might seems to be a reasonable thing to do, but you would be AMAZED by the amount of ridiculous people will never let their parent step a single foot in their properties...
My maternal grandma deceased 2 years ago, and till today,my grandpa still cried when he heard songs that grandma liked. in front of the TV set, there's 2 lay-down chairs that belongs to grandpa and grandma. They used to sit there watch tv together and talk about anything in life. Now grandma had gone, the chair has been left empty. Grandpa reluctant to throw it away, and yet he is always full of tears when he realised there's no one sitting next to him while he was watching tv. currently granpa's eye has been slightly affected due to the crying....talk about the eternal love.....
anyway, this year is my first ever time that celebrated CNY in oversea. To tell the truth, i dont feel weird or homesick at all. Perhaps it's because hardly anyone know/care that it is Chinese New Year, so my brain process it as " no mandarin, no angpo, no gongxi gongxi gong xi ni = not chinese new year"
the interesting is , my town actually had a countdown firework for chinese new year. You might be wondering why do a foreign town had a countdown celeration. Its a rather simple answer: our mayor is a chinese descendent. Happy Chinese Year~
