September 22nd, 2008 pictures
as requested by matthias on twitter this morning, a picture of my new haircolour. that is almost entirely the point of this post. woohoo. and no, it is not a part of the ‘take a picture of yourself now and don’t edit it and don’t fix your hair and post it now now now’ movement.
one day they will invent a hairdye so advanced it will bleach and colour my roots before they even emerge from my scalp.
the emmys are being shown past midnight tonight, so i don’t know if i can take much of it, despite the blog entries i scanned briefly to not give away the jokes by messrs stewart, colbert and gervais. maybe i’ll just watch the youtuuuubed highlights instead. but look at the colbert family. good genes all round! when is my daddy going to take me to the emmys?
and this menu brought to you by breakfast at ikea singapore. they must be big business over there, because most years the ikea catalogues we get in australia are populated by little eurasian kids running about the furniture. i blame singapore for these photoshoots.
i like this food, but i still can’t eat it for breakfast. maybe the soon kueh (eh, what’s the name in cantonese?), but they spoiled the tiao with sotong paste. ah, at least i don’t go looking for cereal and buy precious fresh milk to go with it when i’m in that part of the world anymore. cereal just says that you are an unadaptive western raised kid.

I would go fried bee hoon!! that would be great for breaky, seriously.

That’s so weird that Ikea elsewhere sells different foods. Seems like it would go against their philosophy.
The Ikeas here sell the same foods as the one’s in the States. Which I guess is just smart marketing on their part.

we just have the same “swedish” stuff – meatballs and whatever. it’s part of the ikea brand, and suckers like me go bananas for meatballs.. but maybe singapore is picky – why go to ikea when you can go to a cheap hawker place? i see western-style food at the hawkers, and it’s almost a novelty to eat it when i’m there.
i like mostly the rice and bread type things at singapore ikea. i’m not a big fan of fried noodles, but that’s me
let’s go ikea for meatballs, fukuzo lol

I think the soon kueh is “sa yung” in Cantonese (沙翁), but I could be wrong.

what’s with eurasian kids

because the racial demographics in singapore includes chinese, indian, malay and other races, and it’s easier to market to all these groups with eurasian people appearing in the catalogue.
