So amused by
Time's Global Advisor City Guide to Singapore. Particularly that "Despite years of government campaigns, Singaporeans are not the most courteous lot. ... Street knowledge, too, is often woeful ... [and there] is no accepted side to walking the street, so be prepared to flail through the crowd like a salmon heading upstream." XDDD
And once again, another food place is featured in Time:
Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility - does anyone want to join me on a weekend to visit this place? I wanna get the champagne and the Earl Grey already.
On a more serious note, I'm sure that the locals already know about the coup that ousted the old Exco from AWARE. I, for one, am exceedingly disgusted, and not a little angry, about how our foremost local women's rights advocacy group has been taken over by a group of fundamentalist Christians, who likely as not, have the agenda of turning back the clock to a period when women were 贤妻良母 (good wife and mother); when the worth of a woman was determined by how many babies she could give birth to; when all a woman was allowed to do was to stay at home, look after the children and obey her father, her husband and her son.
The members of AWARE who are oppposed to the new Exco, or at least demanding accountability for the new Exco's actions, are having a meeting on Saturday, where they will lobby for an EGM to give the new Exco a vote of no confidence. Please find the website
here. If you are a local and comfortable with it, do come join us. Please note that you need to be a member to attend a meeting and cast a vote. Membership is $40 per year, or $5 for students under the age of 25.
edit: I'd said that I'd tell you what I was doing with the tamagoyaki, didn't I?
( It's a charaben! )And I am never ever doing another charaben again until I can find small but durable scissors, a scapel, and a pair of
tweezersforceps. I mean, seriously!
