Grouses

1. Why doesn't iTunes store have a Singapore version? Just when I finally figure out how to get album artwork on my iTunes collection...but damn, I can't buy just single songs that I like instead of an entire album.

2. Baby strollers. There are strollers and there are THE Strollers. The mercedes benz or rolls royce of them strollers, it's even called the MacLaren (gives some association of how upmarket the strollers must be). When these strollers go into the lifts, they take up like 1/3 of the whole lift space. Speaking of which, have you seen strollers squeezed in with us ordinary folks in the MRT? They take up a heck lot of space, especially during peak hours. Ok so the govt has something to say about encouraging baby population and veering people towards public transportation especially in light of rocketing oil prices. But obviously our genius pro-family pro-public transport govt did not put 2&2 together and figure out we definitely have an overcrowding problem when more strollers board the trains. Even worse when you put a couple of the Maclarens together.

3. Children. Why do parents think it's OH-SO-ADORABLY-CUTE when their little monster toddlers scream and yell in a restaurant and attempt to shred the paper table placemats to bits? Doting parents just look on indulgently while other restaurant patrons (like me) get pissed to bits.

4. Dresscode. Today's newspaper article groused about how Singaporeans are the sloppiest dressers on this planet. I agree. Our shorts n tee n sandals culture is prevalent everywhere, and even creeps up in posh hotels and lounges. You think Singaporeans are sloppy? Hello you haven't seen those china uncles down in orchard road, they make us sloppy singaporeans look chic and sophisticated in comparison. Though for some strange reason, their China female counterparts are much better dressers.

5. Organs Trading. Yes recent newsworthy topic and ethical debate. Today's papers has people who are and against it. Hello, someone should contact C about his kueh-chap man analogy. It helps puts things into perspective.

ohhh where do i start?(smacks hand on my forehead)..

!) Singapore has no Itunes store cuz i bet they are PUNISHING us for years of blatent copyright infringements (of course Americans are also customers when they come here for holidays too)but they wanna keep it for themselves!! someone should start a I-Mama Store and sell our version of music.. at a 'local' price, which everyone is happy to pay..i.e FREE!!!anyother price and you think singaporeans will pay??. there's always limewire!!

2. STROLLERS... why bring baby out in the first place? they should be locked up in cupboards under the stairs and thrown food at feeding time!! haha!!But seriously... kiddos won't be old enough to appreciate, remember and experience anything at that age.. except the lovely warm sensation when they wee in their comply diapers or poo...hmm imagine how productive office workers will be if you could cut down on toilet breaks and just goo!!...ahhhhh..

3, Screaming children are NOT cute.. but ask any parent and they will be more willing to spank someone elses kid than their own.. perhaps they are afraid of retribution when they grow old and the kiddo does the same back to them!!grampa bad! wet his pants.. needs spanking!! waa waa waa!! hee hee... (yes, i know i am going straight to hell)

4.Dresscode??.. HELLO we are on the equator!! the most sensible dress code wold be a BIKINI!!!.. But the dress code should be modified...not what to wear where.. but according to weight and age... what is acceptable.. simple formula is this.. Younger/ Slimmer - Less clothes needed... OLDER/ Fatter- MORE CLOTHES!! or get arrested!! (i know which catagory i fall in.. now where is my trench coat?!!)

5. Organ trading... BUYing AND selling should rightly be made illegal so no one can benefit from exploitation of the poor... so i say... AGREED!!! BUT change the rules to allow ORGAN SWAPPING!!! yaya!!.. a 1 for 1 organ exchange program!!.. you need kidney? i need a bigger ...er.... trade you one eye for a 36DD and i got a kidney to spare, so ebay the other 36DD to get a matching pair!!! mind you certain organs we only have one of.. but if you pay by PAYPAL, i make sure you get it in 2 working days!!

COWS have 4 stomaches!! wan one?
