Went to watch a getai at Tampines just now. Tampines getais are always very crowded. Firstly, Tampines is the largest town in Singapore. Secondly, Tampines has very little getais. Really damn few, considering it’s enormous population.

Getais are fun and entertaining, if you understand what they say, that is. More and more young people are appearing on stage nowadays, and they bring new remixes and modern pop and techno and rock songs, for younger ghosts perhaps.

I don’t see why some people just go “yee-er” when they see getais. It’s a culture that’s unique to Singapore. Our Muslim friends are having Ramadan and need good rest and aman, yet they can tolerate such loud noises till 10.30pm. And anyway this is YOUR culture, not MINE. Minister George Yeo loves getais and he actually appeared at Hougang getalast night and spoke to the audience in Teochew. Okay lah, maybe he is trying to garner support for PAP, because elections seem to be coming soon. If a “foreigner” like me can appreciate their performance I don’t see why you can’t.

Anyway I enjoyed mugging these few days. Really wonderful. Spirits are high, bird shits in my eye. Whatever. Selamat mlm.

Toronto trip was fun. I don't know how to describe it, I've been here for two weeks last year, yet I still get surprises along the way. Met a lot of awesome people. Hot Korean and Chinese babes too. It seems like Angmoh-born Asians are hotter. WHY HUH? Talking about immigrants, Toronto has A LOT A LOT of immigrants. When I reached their airport almost everyone I saw had black hair. Canada is a bilingual country with English and French. But here, Chinese and Korean characters are everywhere. What does being an immigrant imply? Increased competition for finite resources? Overcrowded trains and buses? It seems to me that migrating is a trend globally. Many angmohs (along with PRCs and Pinoys) chose to move to Singapore, while many Singaporeans are getting PR statuses elsewhere. During the good old monkey-ape days, people moved to seek shelter and food. The notion of nations and races, however, added identity to them. People started to gather as families and commun...

Pantat Mangkuk Kuih Koci

Today went to the badminton match, support badminton girls. Then got this school send a team of almost all China players. Walau eh this is like so unfair lah. I don’t care whether they are scholars or “imports”, but seriously it is damn weird lah. You have a bunch of non-locals representing your school. Does it mean that the locals in your school are like shit, or because the China players are too powerful that the locals are overwhelmed? Anyway these China girls play “funnily” lah, so I am not really bothered. I just cannot tahan their voice and accent. Saya sekarang perlu mangkuk. Untuk makan supper lah. So hari esok saya akan curi mangkuk besar, kerana sarapan ialah bubur dan roti. Never mind lah nobody will know. Today dinner also like shit lah. Pork and long beans. I hate pork, and long beans are raw. Kanasai. I really want to complain liao. And anyway I think the “Bring Your Thermometer” thingy is really too overboard. Life sucks these days.
