Still Alive...

Yes people I'm still alive here in Virginia, struggling to survive the drastic heat this summer is bringing... not helped by the lack of water here as well.

But oh well, it's not all bad, there are many sides of USA that I would never have imagined I would find out, so here's a short list of what has etched a deep impression in my head so far: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (please bear in mind this is purely an opinion).


the Good 1:



Wonderful sights. Simply breathtaking view of NYC from the top of the Empire State Building. Was glad I was with you =)


the Good 2:


Weird foods - cinnamon tic tacs! (looks like xiang si dou) and ginormous chupa chups.




Weird signs - yeah they like their white meat here (in more ways than one) and Homer is never wrong =P


the Good 3:


my first fortune cookie speaks the truth:

"You are born with the 'sixth sense' and superb insight"

Hmm... then how come I still can't see dead people...


the Bad:

HUGE exploding American egg. Don't ask why.

the Ugly:

I don't have pictures to back me up, but trust me, our darker skinned brothers here in USA have the WORST fashion sense.

Here's my top ten list of their fashion faux pas:
10) There's more than just 2 types of hairstyles in this world.
9) Aren't all those metal chains heavy?
8) What's with all the pockets being turned out?
7) 2 head gears is not always better than 1.
6) If your boobs are big and spilling, please for God sake hold them up.
5) There are singlets of other colours apart from white you know.
4) If you're big, don't wear something bigger.
3) Pull those pants up! It you wanna show your underwear, wear them outside instead.
2) Why wear 2 shirts if you're only gonna wear the outer one over your head and 1 arm?
1) Yes it's true - not only diabetic people wear socks and flip flops, these guys do it too.

So that's it, a longer post from me (for once). More soon to come =)
