Can you tell me why....

Pink is in for valentines?

I logged into my Friendster account yesterday night to see it in effeminate pink. Apparently Friendster decided to impose it's Valentines Day "special" to everyone. Though morally sound, I still perferred mine in its monotone grey.

Call me sexually-insecure but how many guys would log into a site, say in a cyber cafe or library even, showing others peering over their shoulders that their site was pink? Safe for a select few, I sure no guy would want that.

Sometimes I log into my blog at a library and feel embarrassed that people are looking at a full page digitally remade photo of who else but me. Nono, don't get me wrong - I love pictures. I look at my Windows XP wallpaper and am reminded of the wonder of nature. But nothing tops a pink-schemed site.

Even when walking in Tampines Mall I was bombarded by pink T-shirt clad Aunites handing out pink pamphlates, pink lettering at Jewelery Shops screaming "Love Affair" and last but not least, I-pods with pink skins. And what's more, it is made worse by the Chinese New Year Celebrations, Tiger's Cup and the recent spate of fires .

Even on National Day I see less red( and pink for that matter).

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Valentine's Day suppoer to be some guy called St. Valentines? So how in the world is he related to pink? Does he wear a pink robe? Does it symbolise that we are indeed in the pink of health?

Ok I get it. Red symbolises passion. Fair Enough. But pink? Apparently there are feminists amongst us.

"Noisy" food is allowed in Cinemas and yet we are told to kept silent, put our handphones to silent etc.?



I watched constantine today. To put it mildly, it was an unpleasant experience, something that is made worse by the mediocre film.

I bought a Jumbo Hotdog Combo and happily made my way into the Cinema. 3 minutes later, a couple came and sat beside me. The guy kept glancing in my direction as though he expected me a strip-tease for him anytime in the next 30 seconds. The humogous Hotdog did nothing to help.
I wanted to tell him to kept his eyes on his own popcorn but withheld myself.

"She was so smelly you know," his girlfriend complained from what I gather to be one of his relatives.

He grunts a barely intelligible reply.

" Ya. I had to change my bedsheet right after she sat on it. Damn disgusting la. "

He was so distracted by my hotdog, I wanted to hug the media crew for dimming the lights for the commercials.

The show started and ended.

Ok, so I included the story for the hotdog part which i thought was rather interesting.

Now then, where were we? Right, Noisy food.

[ "Noisy food"- definition
Food that gives out a jarring amount of noise when masticated. ]

Cinemas are well known for their silent policy much like, libraries and the explanade. Now then, why allow people to bring in Popcorn, Potato chips, M&M's and Nachos? Would the esplanade administration allow that? Would the library allow that? Concerts? No?

Ain't we all appreciating a form of art when doing all these activities? If so, why the double standards?

Ah.Something to think about.

The airport is so ominous

Terminal

• Causing, ending in, or approaching death; fatal: terminal cancer; a terminal patient.

Departure

• euphemistic expressions for death

Enough said.
