Saturday, let me rant

Actually... nothing much to rant about...

I had too much sleep last night, 11 hours and I wondered if I really needed that much sleep! Working always make one exhausted - don't you agree?? Well, even though my 1st week at work was pretty easy and kinda relaxed, but still those 40+ hours of sitting at a desk for a restless person like me is wearing me out. Ha.

My sister (for the 1st time in AGESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, yes, I meant ages!!!) swept and mopped the floor. Ahaha, my dad teased that he should go buy 4D on her IC no.!

By the way, I enjoy comments. So anyone who feels like dropping a note, feel free to do so. Reading the last comment left by an anonymous person, I have this warm fuzzy feeling. It's awesome to read that someone has actually visited the same cafe as I did and shared the experience!

My workplace has this little corner, a mini library. They have collected all kinds of books related to design, cultures, history and heritage. Of course, most of them are related to Singapore. I happened to chance upon these books illustrating stories of SPG and they are hilarious. They are meant for the light-hearted, so don't read if you take offence of very minor things.

The 3 books are: Sarong Party Girl. Revenge of the Sarong Party Girl. The SPG rides again. They are by Jim Aitchison and Theseus Chan. I finished the first 2 and in the mid of the last one now.

And there's this very amusing phrase I quoted from the book --

"Local girls know that white men can give them more. More excuses, more lies, and more Herpes."

Gosh, these books were published in 1996 or earlier... how old was I then?? I hadn't heard of the term SPG then, and look how it has revolved to what it is today. I think there's more acceptance towards intercultural marriages now, not just for the girls please. I have local Singaporean friends marrying women from China, Japan and many more... So I guess when you want to penalise someone, be fair and think about what's on the other side. It's generally a very fun read... can't stop giggling reading it in the train (but beware of the "provocative" illustrations who can catch a lot of attention when reading in the public).
