So, can somebody tell me why the urinal second from the left is a non-smoking urinal while the other three are not?

Hmmm…

Should Cigarette Smokers feel discriminated?

With effect from 1 July 2006, if you’ve gotta take a puff in a Singapore coffee shop, you’ll have to look for a DSC.

Yup, that’s what they call it. “Designated Smoking Corner”.

Why CORNER ah? Are they inferring that smokers always go relak one korner?

Make the area sound damn bad so that smokers will quit smoking issit?

If that’s the case, why not call these areas “Cancer Stations”?

Anyway to all you burning tobacco inhalers out there… remember to look for a DSC before sitting down… in a fine city such as ours, you don’t really want to discover the penalty the hard way.

Don’t you just hate love?

July 11, 2006 at 2:00 pm · Filed under General

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…

You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts.

Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

I hate love.”
