“[some mumbo jumbo] la cinco peso!” After hearing so many street vendors yelling that on the streets of Mexico City, it’s stuck in my head now. Things I learned so far in/about Mexico: The only way to get onto the metro is to push. Like just fuckin’ shove yourself into the metro no matter how crowded it is. Graciousness gets…

silver fish hand catch
As requested by Nad, here’s the Old Spice ads to have a good laugh over. Some things just don’t die… Not going to post all the video replies to tweets, just the finale. Even Grover was inspired by the Old Spice guy.
kid needs to grow up
This kid needs to grow up and understand that things don’t just fall into your lap without working hard for it. 信じられない。 He really needs a reality check. I dislike kids who think that they can just run to the States or some other country (probably on their parents’ money) if they don’t make it in the exams in Singapore.…
hello, my name is peggy
Was talking to Prof. Vargas today and he brought up the Old Spice guy and how people liked the character so much that they got persuaded to buy the products. Hmmm…seriously, I don’t think I’m like most people who get persuaded to buy something just coz I like the ads for it. Just like how I find the Discover ads…
problem after problem
Probably flunked my Stats exam. I think the only good thing that has happened this week is tonight’s dinner with Christina and Stephanie. Ok…maybe the “loot” I got from attending the talk by Mary Kay Haben and the Stats homework deadline got extended to Monday. Just when I thought I could enjoy a breather from exams and homework, another problem…
my life is officially screwed
All the coffee I downed just to stay awake has gone to waste. My life is officially screwed by the stats exam. Almost panicked and blanked out. Told myself to calm down and think, but ran out of time to think logically. To think that I was half confident that it would go ok since I did one practice exam…
blogging anew
Yes, I got a spanking new blog and no, I’m not ditching this one. I just wanted to encourage myself to write more. I think I used to use this place to give boring everyday updates of my life. Then as I got older, I found it more and more boring. Finally when I entered college, I wrote only occasionally.…
a lesson on customer service
I hate businesses who use generic email addresses. No scratch that. I hate incompetent people who can’t do their job well. Whoever is hired to reply to emails isn’t doing their job well. What is the point of having an email address and asking customers to email to it when you’re not going to check it anyway? Don’t tell me…
something is missing from my horfun
Moments ago, I was enjoying my beef horfun from Golden Wok while watching a documentary by History Channel on 9/11. Yea, weird mix…I was feeling sick halfway through my dinner watching raw footage of the World Trade Center towers from a dozen civilian phone cameras. Anyway, the horfun from Golden Wok is by far the best horfun. Tastes just like…
love
怎么这世界每个人都爱别人，不爱自己…
