Had a really really relaxing weekend. No studying at all...now feeling really recharged and ready to tackle anything that comes my path again. It was a weekend of sloth and gluttony, much to the detriment of my waistline...

On Saturday, Dad and I went to Crystal jade again. It was his bday and I was expecting somewhere more fanciful, but then again, its good enough. Did i mention that their shanghai xiao long bao is the best? Tender, juicy and sweet. It was still piping hot when I bit into it and I got my tongue scalded, but that didnt deter me at all. As usual, I had my fave dumpling lamian, I think their dumpling is the best as well..I got Dad a beard papa fondant as a sort of birthday cake, and he wanted more..sigh..the unlimited wants of man. But at least he was happy with the Osim mesage pen I got for him to use in the office. The gadget actually vibrates, and is to be used on the accupoints, i think its pretty cool..

Sunday nite, we went to this kopitiam for curry fish head. I drenched my rice with so much curry and dad kept piling fish on my plate that I felt like such a pig after dinner..sigh, and I hate feeling like a pig. But the curry was pretty nice and thick. I would have prefered it spicier and with a crusty baguette to go with the curry though. Gotta find some thing to go gym soon. Actually I could have gone on saturday, but surprisingly, I took a 2hr nap and after that didnt quite have the energy or mood to go..

Witnessed something interesting on the MRT train on saturday. Two grown up, civilised men had a terse exchange of vulgarities in my carriage. Apparently guy A, who was carrying a child, scolded guy B who was sitted, and who did not want to give up his seat. I didnt get to hear the first part as it was guy B who first attracted my attention, and the attention of all other passengers in our carriage as well..

B: (in a very very loud voice))F*** u, u go F*** yourself. Why scold ppl for not giving up their seat. Whats the big deal with carrying a child..
A: You are not a man......(plus other F***s as well..)

Erm..thats just the gist of it, the exchange of the F word. Guy B did most of the talking, at the top of his voice and managed to include F*** in just about every sentence of his speech. I thought guy B was quite a loony actually as he still kept harping on and on about it long after guy A had left the train. Plus he was alone, thus he was harping on and on to nobody in particular, which makes him a pyscho... And whats wrong with Guy A anyway, if people doesnt want to give up their seat then let it be, its their right to do so anyway(albeit selfish right), it reflects on them and their upbringing, why pick a fight with a L-O-S-E-R anyway... Plus he was uttering all the vulgarities while carrying his child. Tsktsk, how could he be so irresponsible, didnt he know that children's brains are like sponges, would he want the first sentence that the child speaks to be 'f*** ' ...that would be a laugh...but oh well...why am i being so nosy anyway,its actually none of my concern. I just think that if people were to be more peaceful and less aggressive, the world would be a much better place...
