It’s really amusing how miserly we have become. Today was like the final awakening as to how our lifestyle have been turned completely around just because we want to get a place of our own.

Someday i’ll have to learn to keep my big mouth shut for my own benefits. Someday i’ll have to accept when my views and and opinions are not valued even if i’ve been asked to give one. Someday i’ll have to stop caring so much and learn not to be affected by people’s criticism. It all ends up with me treating myself better and holding myself like a sponge – absorb the positive and squeeze out the negative, ain’t it?[...]

Here’s some fireworks in conjunction of the national day. LOL a new shop opened near the condo a few days ago i think.

It’s bad enough that the Black Eyed Peas concert in conjunction of Arthur’s Day does not allow Muslims but Arthur’s Day without alcohol??! Ridiculous! That’s like having chocolate mousse cake without the chocolate. So they are going to sell Peel Fresh at the Guinness celebration is it? “An orange toast to Arthur! 250th year, aye aye! Oh look nutritious orange pulps!”. *groan* And what is the point of the “no bitter sweet brew” rule when only non-Muslims are allowed to[...]
