my armpit has a hole
listening to billboard top 10 chart:
me: why are all ke$ha’s songs the same?
taufik: it’s safe and nobody cares. i could make a song about ketek berlubang with her music and people would still dance to it.
diobok-obok?
taufik: diobok-obok airnya diobok-obok dinda: ada ikannya kecil-kecil pada mabok taufik: what the hell?! such a twisted little kid! i’m not singing that song ever again.
free french fries upgrade!
One of those little things that makes your day brighter:
Ordered a regular meal from McDonald’s and got large fries instead. I approve. Especially after a frustrating half-day at work.
first day as an intern

engineers ----> cooks
Is it just me or engineers do tend to be good at cooking? My sample size is very anecdotal, though.
I remember that the runner up of US MasterChef, David Miller, is a software engineer. My programming lecturer does a lot of cooking ‘experiments’ which always end up looking good - too bad I can’t share his facebook cooking album. My boyfriend’s housemate, Raj, is a chemical...

Ashish: You must choose your university wisely! You can divorce your wife, you can disown your children but you can’t get rid of your degree.

Being rich
Naila: I'm not a greedy bitch for wanting to be financially well off, right?
Me: Money is important. We need those Chanel jackets when we're cold.
Science and Religion
Dan Brown: Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.
Me: There you acknowledge what science is capable of. It works, bitches!

On gender, look, sexuality and all that.
This is Paula. Long time ago, she lost one of her breasts due to breast cancer, but she was lucky enough to have it detected early that she is now still alive and leading a quite happy life. She has no boyfriend. This is Marco. He’s a gay and he’s gone public about it. He spends most of his time in the gym, developing his muscle mass and building his macho look. This is Angela, who has a...

on political apathy :)
calvin: when i grow up, i'm not going to read the newspaper and i'm not going to follow complex issues and i'm not going to vote.
hobbes: ...
calvin: that way i can complain that the government doesn't represent me.
hobbes: ...
calvin: then, when everything goes down the tubes, i can say the system doesn't work and justify my further lack of participation.
hobbes: an ingeniously self-fulfilling plan.
calvin: it's a lot more fun to blame than to fix them.
Evolution and Humor
calvin: isn't it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor?
hobbes: ...
calvin: when you think about it, it's weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. we laugh at nonsense. we like it. we think it's funny.
hobbes: ...
calvin: don't you think it's odd that we appreciate absurdity? why would we develop that way? how does it benefit us?
hobbes: i suppose of we couldn't laugh at things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of life.
calvin: i can't tell if that's funny or really scary.

trust is manifested by silence. you don’t question. you don’t demand explanation. you don’t ask.
you trust people, you want them to know that you do. more often than not, by being silent.
but when it becomes shaky. when your head is full of how and why. when your mind collates assumptions. and your lips tremble to say word by word of questions. you are afraid.
you need your...

Compulsory military training is inevitably an important issue for Singapore as a country. Singapore’s population is ageing. Understandable, considering it is a ridiculously small island, with a ridiculously small population, a ridiculously slow population growth and ridiculously fierce bus drivers. This ridiculous population shortage is made even more ridiculous by the ridiculous quality of...

some sophistication
