why wy?

the good

A friend took me for lunch at a Sri Lankan restaurant, and guess what was on the menu: Bandung! Okay, it wasn't called that, it was called fallujah, like the Iraqi town (not sure about spelling, I was preoccupied with eating at that time). It was thicker than normal and they serve it with tiny black seeds, like kiwi seeds, that didn't seem to add anything different to the rose and milk taste. The best part: A scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is definitely something the mamak shops could learn - make way for bandung godzilla!!!

the bad

School has started, for real. I have homework. Bleah. Which I was meant to be doing now instead of blogging. What was bad was today's dissection class, not bad per se, but awkward. The cadaver we got still had her upper dentures in, but no lower ones, and her mouth was wide open, think The Scream, by Munch. She had a look of fright, and so did we when we met her.


and the ugly

Straits Times Interactive is going to be charging for their articles. It's bad enough that you have to register to read anything. Even after working in the same parent company, I am still reeling from the shock of how greedy they are. Isn't $400m profit (or whatever the current figure is) enough? An annual subscription is $70, and come on, news from singapore really isn't worth that much, to say nothing about how most students don't have $70 to spend on newspapers. And one that you can't recycle to wrap garbage at that. I guess I will have to get all my news from mr brown, today and talking cock... and the occasional e-mail from you guys won't hurt...
