Silky Ler

Oh hello. My name is Silky Ler Wan Wan, my 5th birthday is coming soon on the 24th of November. Would appreciate any form of birthday presents. Balls, treats, cockroaches, lizards, bak kwa or even an Ikea toy to hump on (preferably in a crocodile shape for example, something long and slim).

You should know where I live.

Reading The Economist

“The Economist” – the best newsmagazine. And i’m serious about it. TIME has failed me for the entire subscription period such that, most of it goes unread whenever I receive it. Newsweek is reasonable but it has still far too much US-related content in it (which i’m not very interested about). Economist has just the right amount of information, splitting news into different continents. Very good read, I like it. I am no longer subscribing to TIME and awaiting my Newsweek subscription to end.

Every Friday when I receive the magazine, I will open it and start to read a little of it, day by day (mostly in the toilet!).

PS: I just ate so much, 2 sausages, 2 sunny eggs and noodles. I don’t think i’m going to eat dinner tonight. WHYYY did I eat so muchhhhh.

Jumbo & Marina Barrage

Had a great time with my family for the night. I was left with nowhere to go after Shaun Tham abandoned our GETS outing today. And I have to apologise to Mr Ben Lee for not going for his movie screening at Simon’s place because well, I had to go out with my family.

First, we had our dinner at Jumbo, East Coast Seafood Centre, we had a seat by the sea, which was in the dark, away from the disgusting bright lights. Had my favourite deer meat & kang kong… aka ‘the usual’. Drunken prawns, two chilli crabs, with erm 12 ‘man tous’ in total I think, and accompanying it, beer.

After dinner, the night was spent at Marina Barrage (my first time being there btw). Dark at night, seems to be a romantic place, and with lots of water… how nice if there is a swimming pool in the ‘pump house’.

Went home, played with my woof woof which was high, as she was barking at this long crocodile toy we got from Ikea and wanted to hump it.

Whisky

PS I watched Julie Julia or Julia Julie yesterday, whichever comes first.

So today after work, met up with Don & Eugene at Vie Bar in Siglap, our secret hideout. We got a Glenfiddich bottle there, and got some water as mixers. So after drinking a few sip, a supposedly European guy came to our table and asked us “do you know how whisky is made”, we answered no.

He then, hilariously told us how it was through distillation, which is removing the water from the whatever, and about what a priest that visited his home once said to him. Moral of the story is, whisky is made by removing water, so don’t add water back into the distilled ‘god-sent’ whisky.

We were left speechless, not because it was stupid, but because it made sense, but we continued our water with whisky anyways.

Bus 196E

Took 196e yesterday, the express bus which I wasn’t supposed to take. I wanted to go to old airport road from Robinsons road, so well Gothere.sg told me to take 196. I defied it and took 196E. Wrong move. When I realised I was supposed to alight, I stood up (note that it was a crowded packed bus), squeezed my way out before someone pat my on the shoulders, I removed my earphones and she told me “the bus isn’t stopping, you can go back and have your seat”… then I was like… hmmmm… I thanked her and moved on.

Then I alighted at the next stop and took bus 31.
