Lunch Incident

Recently I went out with a couple of friends to watch a movie and go for lunch afterwards. We went for lunch to this restaurant named sizzles. So we ordered food and was just chatting away, when a whole crowd of east asian (most probably korean) tourists walk in. There were about 10-15 odd people in the group. They were shown into a private room so that all of them could fit in. In the mean time our food arrived and we started to dig in. Half way through our meals one of the tourists came out the said room and started going from table to table peeping into other peoples food to see what they have ordered and what it looked like. She even came to our table and peeped in. Unfortunately she was not the only one out of the group, after she retired back into the private room another couple came out and started doing the same thing. I do wonder if they realize how rude it was of them to go on peeping at other peoples food. I mean it's understandable if you want to check out how...

Advantages of Being A Small Island Nation

I've come to realize that there are some benefits to living in a country which is essentially an island. Mind you it has to be a small one and not a huge one like Australia.

Well for us it's not that much of a hassle because the maximum time it would take a person to travel from south of the country to the north would be just about 12 hours. The added benefit is that you don't have to travel there by the plane but can drive it. You kno...

Another you?

Have you ever wanted to have another you? someone who looks like you, speaks like you? See I've always wanted a twin and not just any twin but an identical twin. It would be one of the coolest things that could happen because not only do you get a brother/sister but you get a brother/sister who looks exactly like you. And what more? you'll share the same birthday so that when you grow older you can actually split cost of birthday parties between yourselves since you'll would have common friends. Just think of all the mischief you could get into, while in school, if you'll are in two different classes you'll could switch class for a change. When you get caught doing something you're not supposed it's a little comforting to know that there's another you to be besides you. Besides, you'll wouldn't need other best friends cause nature some how handpicked your best friend to be born as you twin. You'll would know about each other more t...
