peopleless person?

feeling a bit anti-social these few days. Well, there's work, but i don't know how to start talking to them working adults (though they are not really THAT old) realised that im quite selfish. =x don't know the comparisons between most things (let's say which type of food is best found where etc.) simple conversational skills have officially left me as i struggle hard to speak of things other than myself =x (feeling very self-centred and unable to shift the focus away.)

quick update

just back from China a few hours ago and I'm going to start work tomorrow morning. My dad's car battery died and it would thus be necessary to wake up early to catch the bus on my own =x

Currently sapping internet from some neighbour of mine who didn't lock their internet.

some interesting things that happened in China:
- a man was spotted holding the sign "harry potter" at the airport (apparently pranked upon)
- saw a man peeing on the roadside! (saw him from the back la!)
- road sweepers work at night with small torches attached to their brooms!
- there are such things as motor bikers who act as taxis! (one tried to pick me up! good thing the guy i was with knew what was happening)
- christmas celebrations in china = more reasons for clubbing


more to be updated upon completion of job requirements for the next day

culture shock in singapore

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

ever seen this on a table in a food court in Singapore? how about multiple articles placed in a row?

when a fellow colleague from Indonesia asked me what they were for, i stoned for a while. Haha. sudden cultural shock.

digging deep into my memory, i recalled several possible uses..

then of course, it struck me!

what else is prominent in Singapore? haha, what has Amanda been reminding me of the characteristics of Singaporeans.. Kiasu-ness! =x
