why wy?

boing boing has great links, like
- chocolate sushi that looks like fish (but tastes like chocolate they claim)
- disguise your vacuum cleaner as a giant cat or rabbit in a dress (i thought the point was to hide it)
- a really creative chef who makes cupcakes that look like sushi too, a jelly aquarium, and a jaws cupcake

embracing your inner auntie is something i thankfully have not experienced - yet.

this will come in handy when you are ordering something to drink in singapore
teh - tea (cha in thailand)
kopi - coffee
teh-0 - tea without milk. 0 sounds like black in dialect.
teh-kosong - tea with milk but no sugar. kosong is malay for empty.
teh-0-kosong - english tea with just hot water, no milk or sugar. not to be confused with
diao yu - mandarin for fishing, which is chinese tea without sugar or milk, because of the way the teabag hangs out
teh-C - tea with evaporated milk, C stands for Carnation, a really popular brand for evaporated milk
teh-peng - iced milk tea, peng is cold in dialect (yen in thai)
pak qu - (dialect for hitting ball) stands for milo, because it's got a picture of a boy kicking a ball on the tin

note, you can replace teh with kopi if you want coffee, except in the case of teh alia - which is ginger tea.
