you see? even random strangers pray for him and his liver.
also, it was malaysia's birthday. as i dressed up on national day in singapore's national colours, linda also dressed for merdeka. to support her, i wore my singapore colours too (although you can't really tell because today was VERY cold. totally inappropriate for patriotic chesty bonds tank tops). we south-east-asians must stick together.
brief (and mostly inaccurate) history lesson:
singapore used to be part of malaysia, but then one day said "fuck it" and left. either that or malaysia said "fuck you hippies" and kicked us out.
ever since then, the two countries have had a love-hate relationship. malaysia sells us water, we refine it and sell some back to them. whenever they get angry they will say "we cut off your water supply and you will all die". so we retaliate by kicking their butts at soccer and then secretly recycle our wee and call it NEWater so in case they really do, we won't die. they criticise our totalitarian government and publish books by singaporean exiles and misfits just to irritate the powers that be*. and then we have extravagant national day celebrations to subtly say "my balls bigger than your balls, donch pray pray". two seconds later, singaporeans will take advantage of the national day long weekend to run to JB and stock up on toilet paper, and while they are in JB, some armed robbers will hijack their mercedes benzes and offset the amount saved on toilet paper.
kind of childish.
so linda and i have decided to make a difference, and by our friendship, encourage other singaporeans and malaysians to be friends too.
afterall, neighbours should be there for one another, because that's when good neighbours become good friends.
