He thinks he’s a super big deal. He has the entitlement of a mediocre white man. He treats everyone he thinks is beneath him like shit. I bet he hates undocumented people too, and he needs to make it very clear that he’s a citizen and therefore legal. He’s clearly trying to be black, speaking AAVE and everything. And…

I’ve been wanting to read Look at Me since last year but I am a scaredy-cat. 

It’s the easily-threatened men who need advice, but they won’t ask for it.

The key word here is “had”, right? There are a couple of guys in my extended friend group who will sometimes leave early, and then hand not-enough money over to one of us to cover their portion. These are the same people who will eat most of a shared dish and not contribute to it. It’s strange. They’re good people,…

AND make the transaction public on Venmo, with the comment “FYI, I covered two Lyft rides and pastries for everyone that one afternoon, but I’m not claiming. Usually, those little expenses even out. Enjoy your $20!”

One of my favorite briyani places (RIP briyani place) would be crammed with Muslim desi taxi drivers every week after Friday prayers. The place was narrow and a little grimy, but the food was legit. It was the closest I could get to my mum’s briyani here in this city. I miss that place.

I should have said, we didn’t have a symbolic engagement ceremony. I guess we were “formally” engaged when we set a date and started planning, but we didn’t announce it. 

This might be his secret to a long life. Chick-Fil-A errrrrday.

But his future! 

To each their own I guess. Proposals on bended knee with a ring box are becoming more popular in my home country. I’ve lived in North America for a while now, but I’m still quite bemused by them. For those who have been proposed to, do you really only start planning the wedding after you’re asked? So it all hinges on…

Ugh, I forgot about chocolate ice cream. Don’t like that too, and you nailed the reason why. 

Agreed.

I love chocolate, but I don’t quite like chocolate cake. I prefer brownies. I love a good simple butter cake, either plain or with a light not-too-sweet frosting.

I remember the “Singapore is a FINE country” T-shirts were very popular in the late-90s/early 2000s.

I forgot about E&O Hotel, and I didn’t know about BLVD House!

Yep! I find Singapore a little too put-together and organized to truly feel at home there. I like my cities a little grimy, I guess. With that said, you like what you like, and some people would prefer Singapore because of its orderliness, finding KL a little too overwhelming.

Just FYI, several of the scenes in Crazy Rich Asians were shot in Malaysia. The bible study house (Be-landa House), grandma’s house (Carcosa Seri Negara), the mahjong place (Cheong Fatt Tze mansion), and the bachelor/bachelorette parties (Langkawi).

Singapore is a very organized city. The food is excellent. Seriously,…

I tear them apart with my bare hands. 

Yo, Prince William is starting to look like Stephen Miller.

This looks like the cast of the Bachelor. Only thing missing is one black person in that ocean of whiteness.
