i know what you mean about the tsunami disaster, and how it feels so strange and… surreal. to be happy in our own lives while all this is happening and devastating others so badly. it’s hard to know what to feel.

EXACTLY.. you feel guilty on the one hand, but then you think about it logically and it also doesn’t make sense to sit down and let life go by. as someone else said here, the best thing you can do is just get on with life!
In a way, it seems even more surreal that i know people there that were affected..

The lunatic guy tried to sell me 1 piece for SG$9!!!! So i just tried his sample and left, hehehhe.. I know, it’s evil, but $9??!?!

$9 a piece?!

when I was in HK it was only like HK$10 for a pack of 4… I mean they’re cool but seriously… wow… what a rip off… some people… and hehe free stuff is always cool πŸ˜€

It was the special “icy” version or something like that..
I got the ‘normal’ sort today though, finally found some.. SG$3 for 5 pieces, still kinda $$ but better than $9/piece!

You are really making me salivate with all those posts about the lovely food that you are eating. I am so craving for food from home and this is the last couple of weeks of this pregnancy. I am so jealous that you’re home and enjoying the food I’m craving!

..and I didn’t even buy anything! How good am I πŸ˜› Well, I did buy food, but that doesn’t count right..

Where exactly are you in the States? I’ll be in San Fran and San Jose in about 2 months πŸ™‚

Yeah we call it here too, or Otak for short πŸ™‚ I never used to like it (as with most other SG fod) until I was away from SG for 3 yrs.. and now i love it, haha!

Bev, it didn’t hit Singapore right?

It’s so sad. It seems that area of the world is always suffereing from an Act of God. Didn’t they have another earthquake earlier this year too?

You make me want to try Singaporean food SOOOOOO bad. I’m sure I can find a place in NY but what should I try? I don’t like seafood too tough or overly spicy foods.

No, Singapore’s protected by Malaysian and Indonesia so it’s really fortunate – if it DID hit the whole country would’ve been flooded, it’s so small!

Don’t feel bad about not getting SG food. You’re in NY, talk about lucky@!!!! πŸ™‚

Eh, NY can be boring at time. I mean when you’re pratically born and raised here and haven’t been outside the state, you pretty much done everything that needs to be done.

yes…. the death toll is appallingly high. Red Cross is going to set up fundraising, i’m definitely going to donate. Beyond offering whatever financial or other help we can, there’s not much, and there’s no need to feel bad about living life in the face of such disasters, don’t you agree?

Yes i know what you mean.. it’s still a bit bizzare (and hard) to just continue going on and doing regular fun holiday stuff when you know thousands are really suffering, you know what I mean? Yet if you sit at home and mope, it’s not really helping much.. Wish the world was rid of disasters and horrid stuff πŸ™

It’s Ralph Lauren and cost me $20 online.. *feels proud* I like bargains πŸ™‚
We haven’t heard much about my aunt + family but they’re safe now which is the main thing! It’s just a matter of getting on a flight back..
