This is from my cousin's blog:

bluetooth enabled

In my opinion, there is only one situation where wearing a bluetooth headset is acceptable: driving.
Wearing it for anything else usually makes you look like an asshat. Now now.
Before you jump to conclusions, of COURSE I know plenty of friends who wear bluetooth headsets. And yes, they usually look like asshats too. I mean, I can understand the need to be “hands-free” while taking a call in the restroom at a mall, but only for those very special phone calls if you know what I mean.

In the car, however, I’m a complete advocate of bluetooth headsets. Hell, I don’t use mine often enough (or ever…depending on how you see it…). San Gabriel/Monterey Park/Alhambra is already a bad enough place to drive without having to dodge old Asian ladies who can’t see over the steering wheel. The other day I was tailing a grandmother who was going FORTY on the 10 freeway. C’MON!!! Add that to a few people who swerve halfway into your lane because they’re talking on the phone and you’ve got a magical place to drive in LA.

Nevertheless, if you’re driving and you own a bluetooth headset…have at it. If it helps you avoid old Asian ladies and swerving jackasses and keeps you out of a wreck that may potentially cost me 20 minutes on my commute, I give you my blessing. I WANT you to wear your bluetooth headset. But unless you lost both arms in the war (thanks, by the way), please take that ridiculous hunk of plastic out of your ear.

hilarious as always!
i miss him oodles.

only yours baby

i'm charis vera Ng,
i'm NOT a Singaporean, i was born in UK
but i spent most of my four years in scotland
i love alastair(:
i'm doing my best to live for God though i often fail miserably

ok,try this:
you're this girl who's flown over to this country when you're no more than four years of age
you resent your dad for it,
and it doesn't help when things between your parents don't work out either.

so you miss your home terribly,
you miss going strawberry-picking,
you miss eating boiled eggs out of egg-cups
and you miss warm and cuddly Uncle John and Aunty Esther.

instead,
you find yourself forced to change
and adapt in a horribly hot place
where in primary school,
you meet cold,heartless little kids who ignore you and don't let you play "family"
just cos your accent is different.
early on,
you get weird looks and you find yourself going for recess breaks alone.
your classmates complain to the class teacher when you call them stupid
because they don't understand what to you is simple english.
but they leave you alone when you call them an imbecile
because they don't know what it means.
your primary 1 & 2 class teacher takes joy in complaining to your mummy
because she detests you.
she detests you for constantly correcting her english grammer and pronunciation in front of the class
you soon realize that you can actually gain and keep friends upon them finding out your mother's an actress
but by that time you've more or less forced yourself to lose your accent which makes communication a lot easier anyway.

that was the little girl charis,
now,
on top of that,
i can be a total biotch sometimes, towards people.
and don't tell me you aren't sometimes please.
but i try my very best not to bitch about people.
im a dangerous shopper(=
i never know what i want or need til i see it.

i don't like television.
now that's a first innit?HAH.
bet you never knew someone who didn't like tv
well i don't
and i'm not trying to be different and difficult
it's noisy and boring
i like music:)
i find eating a chore but i love snacking
figure that out
i find certain kinds of pain addictive,
no, i promise i'm still sane.

which is actually pretty remarkable for someone living here,
in this time and place
where you normally get loads of homework,
tests with questions that look like they're in foreign language,
and where everything's a competition to be the best,
the prettiest,
the most popular,
the most hated,
the thinnest,
the fattest, the coolest
the list goes on.
one shouldn't try to be something you're not,
but everyone knows that's easier said than done.
like duurh.
