dissin’ is the new black

looking at the comments generated in facehunter here
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22159913&postID=7356158503406932838
and a recent article which got featured in tomorrow.sg here (though for once there are more pro-singaporeans backing up their motherland! hurrah!)
i am convinced that
1) singaporeans are generally ashamed of their own kind, and their country
2) they enjoying criticising.. unconstructively
3) they are critiques only online, behind their [...]

maybe i should stop eating and die

as blessed as i am to be working in one of the foodie centrals in singapore (all hail geylang!), usually i can’t be bothered to take a stroll in the scorching midday sun for my afternoon chow.
as a result, i always buy my makans back to the office from the coffeeshop across, which is actually [...]

hmm

i dont understand how i always enjoy moderate to smashing success whenever i cook, yet suffer a dismal failure when i try to  bake, even if baking does seem infinitely easier.

3) whatever it is, [...]
