Peacocks

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again.

I watched Singin' In the Rain again.

Facebook is fast becoming a prime place for examples of things that bug me. Observe: Lelaki A puts up a picture of him and a foreign girl on his profile. It is then bombarded with comments like these:

Lelaki B: Wei xxx! Boleh tahan miang hang ni.
Lelaki C: Perh..xxx makan sorang wei. Boleh tahan.
Lelaki D: kawan tak kawan. janji layan.haha.

I think it's self-explanatory what comments like the above make me feel.

but just in case you don't know, it makes me think 'fucktards'. It's a bit too frustratingly melayu, if that makes any sense.

I wish Kings of Convenience would come out with a new album already.

When you're supposed to be studying for an exam, you are magically bestowed with numerous ideas for blog posts and there isn't an hour that goes by without something popping into your head and snatching your focus away from macroeconomic theories to a quirky fact or an incident you wish to write about. And you think 'oh yes! I'll blog about all this when I'm done with exams!HAHAHAHA!'(diabolical laughter varies with the individual in question). But when you're actually done with exams, as expected, all those ideas vanish. ah well.

Camberwell and Chapel Street tomorrow. Oh, yes. I must start making my list:

1. Nasi Ayam.
2. Nasi Kandar(yang dekat sungei wang).
3. putu piring.
4. ayam masak merah.
5. Kuey teow goreng from Sila Rasa.
6. Goreng pisang(yang jual kat depan masjid tu)
7. Nasi lemak and paru.
8. Yong tau foo(plenty of suay kow)
9. Masak lemak pucuk manis.
10. Nasi beriyani(if possible, with kari kambing).
11. chicken and mushroom sizzling noodles from some random foodcourt.
12. whopper.
13. chicken hor fun.
14. pengat durian and roti jala.

Kakak. I'm going to mark off this list, and you're going to help me. hooray hooray!
