// Taking a good cause to your advantage.

Still on the issue of probably the worst natural disaster to ever hit planet earth in years, I am amused. I read today's Straits Times and it seems that Singaporeans are taking the call for donations of kind to their advantage. So insensitive! Hmm. Not surprising, considering its Singaporeans we're talking about here. Want to donate, donate properly lah!

Among the donated items were heeled shoes and an expensive coat. Well, great idea! Lets give these people some branded luxury items to wear since they're hit and probably sad. WELL HELLO!? Its time for a reality check! Other head-scratching, keyboard banging items were used bras, evening bags (the kind you bring to prom nite) and plastic handcuffs. PLASTIC HANDCUFFS?! tsk tsk tsk. You sick people. What were Singaporeans thinking when they donated the evening bags? (Or the handcuffs?) My goodness. I think the plea for usable, practical items turned the Singapore Red Cross and all its collection points a Karang Guni warehouse. Haha! I am really amused.

I am still trying to establish some form of contact to the British embassy to check if the couple seated beside me on my flight from Istanbul are safe. They told me they were en route to Phuket. Oh dear. I hope they're safe. No joke. I'd reckon at least half the British tourists aboard flight TK60 from Istanbul to Bangkok were on their way to sunny Phuket. The couple were going to stay there for 2 weeks til 5th Jan. Bahhh.

Next week's gonna be something new. No school, instead, there's work. Well, on the brighter side, at least there's money coming in at the end of the month. I'm still looking for more students. If you know anyone interested in having tuition, tell me alright. I'll give you commission. No joke.

Alright. I'm off to watch the news. Ciao people.
