I was pretty pissed today at Changi Airport. I mean how often do you think a blackout happens in a lift in Changi Airport. "The Best Airport in the World". Tsk.
See, we(my family) were going to the airport(terminal 1 specifically)to welcome an uncle back to Singapore after a 10 day journey to Greece. There was a downpour so we had to park in Terminal 2(sheltered carpark). We parked in 1M carpark and we got into lift 9 then we had to get to level 2 for the skytrain. Then everything suddenly stopped.
we were calm, we got the emergency people. They came, unlocked some thing and we peered open the dor from inside. Not very scary, but how in the world did a lift Singapore's only airport break down. Nevermind that
So we had dinner and whatever and we said our goodbyes and we were walking bakc to the skytrain and i saw this imperial congee and noodle house. Very China. The thing was that there was like a malay family eating. They were using forks and spoons(duh). The thing was that there was thisangmoh(sry,used to this sg slang) eating with chopsticks. I seen this alot nowadays, not suprising, but the thing about this incident is that it allowed me to compare between a malay family, who I presumed has been living in Sg or at least SEA for quite sometime, interracting alot with Chinese locals and a Angmoh family, who I presume haved rarely tried chopsticks(yeh , alot of chinese in US or europe but still, Angmohs are about 92 percent there). The AMs, I will call them, were quite clumsy and hilarious with the chopsticks, and my dad laughed. Pretty rude, considering we were walking right past the restaurant(it's open conept). But still, i dunno it was quite stark how the Malays and the AMs were reagarding the use of chopsticks. Its insignificant, but small things tell you alot.
But whatever. The new season of AI(Idol) is fun. Much better than last time. No sanjayas, all very talented, alot of new genre singers. Ive only watched the auditions(guilty humor) and the one with the beatle songs. Favs r David Aculeta(sp?) and Ramiele Malubay(sp?). Hope one of them wins. This is only based on auditions and 3 round only thou. They seem good and consistent, thou.
