Based on that reasoning, the Goonfather pointed out, the dragon should also be omitted out of respect for Christians because dragons are identifed with Satan.
Am in Shenzhen today! I booked this trip a month ago because I didn’t do enough shopping the last round.
But about a week ago, I kinda lost the mood for shopping, LOL. Am now in the hotel room waiting for the Goonfather. He usually stays overnight at a spa because they’re cheaper and he gets served 24/7.
Er… we’re not sharing a hotel room because I’m with Minou! =D
Oh, he’s here! Shall go out and shop, anyway, since we’re already here.
I dreamt that I dreamt that I was eating some very amazing Danish butter cookies (those we can’t find anymore, or I don’t know where to find the good ones).
I dreamt that I woke up craving butter cookies and was happy to see an unopened packet from a CNY hamper.
On my way to grab it, I got distracted by other things, as dreams go, so I didn’t eat it.
Then I woke up and realised that it had all been a dream and there are no butter cookies.
A blog reader requested that I post this. His friend’s dog went missing yesterday. Do help keep a lookout if you live near Hougang St 51. Thanks!
I know how it feels to lose a pet. Hope Fluffy is found soon!
I has a new Firefox skin! =D
From here, with Firefox 3.6.
Hope to find time to make my own.
Was chatting with Swordplay about link spam and chain e-mails and thought of writing a spoof one for fun. But I couldn’t think of any good ones so I googled and saw this.
It’s funny! =D
There are also different versions for disgruntled wives and employees around.
I was thinking of ordering KFC for lunch so I googled “kfc delivery” and saw this:
LOL. The paid link on top goes to McDelivery. McDonald’s trying to poach KFC customers?
Visited Buckaroo BBQ & Grill for spicy buffalo wings, supposedly similar to Sunset Grill & Pub’s wings.
Tried Level 3. Spicer. Looks and tastes different. Not nice! Won’t be going back again. Still love Sunset Grill! =D
Last night, while waiting for the Goonfather to come watch TV with me, I bought a PopCap game through Steam. I had resisted for a week cos it costs USD9.90 and I was scared I would get bored of it quickly.
Whaddya know, less than 24 hours after I bought the game, I received an e-mail saying my application to be a PopCap beta tester had been accepted and I could now play ALL PopCap games for free.
ARRGH. Could have saved my money! But I’m having fun now playing PopCap games free. You can apply for it, too! (Only for SE Asia.) Click here! =)
Cookie Monster is watching you!
Project: Vacuum The Goonfather’s Tummy failed cos he was lying too far from my PC, and my USB vaccum cleaner could only reach the edge of his tummy. Plus he kept wriggling with ticklishness.
Erm… I spilled prawn cracker crumbs on him while we were watching TV in bed.
And cow should be omited coz buddhist don’t eat cow.
and rats to cos its dirty.. :P
then shld omit everything out of respect for other races coz they dont believe animal zodiacs
hahaha I agree with naeboo!
besides, what’s so disrespectful about doraemon in a pig costume? is doraemon muslim?????
What about being respectful to everyone (Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, etc) who observe the Lunar calendar? Figure there’s more of us then them…
Think McD’s should bring the McRib over to SG to be respectful of those of us who eat pork!
Then there should be one doramon covered in leaves…in respect for vegetarians…the current ones are all meat!! Haha
Haha….. many good points here. :P
I figure also that by trying to be respectful to Muslims, McD’s might be inadvertently disrespectful because it’s implying that Muslims are more sensitive than other people.
How about closing down the McD’s becasue it’s very existance offends Muslims, Jews, Christians and people with eating disorders?
I assure you our daughter will not be eating there :P
I’m pretty sure they won’t give a rat’s ass about the pig being in there if not for the fact that they are certified halal
oh. i didnt knw having a pig doll toy that supposed to be part of thousand-year-old zodiac would make their food not halal. is it edible??
Haha naeboo, my thoughts exactly. Really don’t understand what’s so non-halal about a soft toy.
methinks it’s a case of being more Muslim than the Muslims, just like some Malays are being more Arab than the Arabs and some Singaporeans are being more Ang Mo than the Ang Mos. Say, did anyone tell McD that Islam also forbids the consumption of Rat meat, Tiger meat, Snake meat, Dragon meat…..
Wow, really that? I didn’t know. But, um… dragon meat?? Why forbid people from eating something that doesn’t exist in the first place? O_o
