And maybe because I think that they are actually ripping tourists off! :P I won't pay S$20++ for chicken rice when I can get them at like S$5 from an equally established and authentic joint. :) As for East Coast Seafood Centre, maybe it's coz I stay at the end of the island..and maybe it's coz I am no seafood lover. :P Anyway if you do visit SGP again, do drop me a note. Me & my gang of friends will be happy to bring you around and be "adopted" by true-blue Singporeans...temporarily, of course :P For Chatterbox, maybe it’s coz it’s over-rated/over-hyped.

Now there are no more mysteries in my life. :) Except for why you have not yet been to Chatterbox or East Coast Seafood Centre! ML: Thanks for looking up how Chijmes got its name!

Neither have I tried the chili crab at East Coast Seafood Centre. :P As for "Chijmes", well, it took me sometime before I learnt how to pronounce it too. :P According to Wikipedia, it actually stands for Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Middle Education School and thus that explains the acronyms - Chijmes. Guess what? And I only learnt that minutes before writing this here. :P Well, we all learn something new everyday, eh? :) Man, I must be the most UnSingaporean Singaporean here. :P Cause I have yet to eat the Chicken Rice at Chatterbox.

And always wondered why they don't spell "Chijmes" the shopping center the way it sounds: "Chimes"! Have some of that awesome satay for me! :) Mei Lin: Yes, I was in S’pore for a little less than half a year, but I still dream about Chatterbox Chicken Rice and the chili crab at East Coast Seafood Center!

Maybe my whole view of all this is skewed, because I'm from a somewhat humble background (especially when it comes to education), so I'm not very forgiving when I run into ignorance, no matter the person's background. Your reproduction comment- reverse Darwinism at work?! hahaha you are hilarious. Ky: You are right about what we should expect from different kinds of people when it comes to general knowledge.

"If they were smarter or thought like you did, don't you think they would have a better job?" Then somehow, I feel that I almost have no right to be angry or annoyed, and instead I feel grateful that I'm better off than they are. Because at least I know where Singapore is and that I had the means to learn that. And if I didn't know where Singapore was, I have the basis to find out. And as far who's reproducing in this country. Don't even get me started! I wouldn't be surprised if that mover had several kids. All the people who shouldn't reproduce do. And all the people with the proper genes (in the eugenic sense) don't.

Andrew: Don't believe all the rumors about me not ever stepping outdoors. Lies, all lies. Back to watching tv now. Gotta close the shades first it's getting light out. CB: When prone to inappropriate laughter (as I am), a person must train himself to nip it in the bud by thinking unhappy thoughts. Like having all my stuff wind up in Africa.
