Oranges and Spam calls

Feelin really tired today. Been meaning to get more groceries but really, canx be bothered except getting oranges! The darn oranges here are super sweet! Now, they are a staple diet of my watever breakfast or rather first meal at whatever time, and dinner time or before i go to sleep.

I tell u my poor deprived Singaporean comrades, Fruits (minus water melon) are sweet EVERYWHERE except damn Singapore! Christ, i have never tasted any sweet ornages in my life in singapore! Okie, maybe i am deprived or people say i'm just unlucky. Here, any random pick assured me of good watery fruits... argghh fruit heavens!

This heater is heating up the room and its too warm to stick around. Clothes simply will NOT dry here on its own so I had to turn on the winter heater to warm up the room to force dry all the clothes. Oh i hate to see the bill.

Btw, did i complain that auto SPAM telemarketing are allowed here in HK?! Its bloody wasting my money and airtime! They have this prerecorded message and they ring and ring. Bastards.


Its unthinkable HK legislation allowed this sort of unsolicited and non social minded business behaviour here. Anything for a $$ i supposed...Its crazy. They really WOULD do anything for money but who wouldnt? Competition is stiff here and anyone would think of money making ways to earn another quick buck..

I think the more i stay here... the more flaws i see here and the more i appreciate Singapore (despite its own flaws). Okie, i may sound like those ingrate China people working and bitching abt singapore, but really, HK would be a better place if more attention is paid to governance and social ethics! Then again, will singapore thrive the way it did if we are as large as HK and will we be able to eradicate all the bigger social problems here if we cannot even stem out ours in the small isl? Hmmm. Food for thought...
