swordfish

The first time i experienced swordfish, it was awesome. I will never forget it. The heavens opened up, angels sang and shit, the lights all got brighter and old pple disappeared frm the streets for a brief moment.

It was perfect, tender and juicy. But it lasted only for a short moment. Then Halle Berry covered up and i stopped the DVD.

The second time, was much better.

And this time, it was an actual fish. As suahkoo as this may sound, the swordfish at Fish and Co. was great. I remember looking at the menu and going "WTF, swordfish is cheaper than the Fish and Chips??"

I ordered one, being universally curious. Turns out it took 25min to prep. But when it came, it was 2 huge chunks of fish bone and meat. Totally didnt expect it. Viva la swordfish. Viva la Halle Berry.

The drive back to Balestier took us through Serangoon, and in typical wong family style, racist commentary ensued.

"Why do they have to sit on the grass?"

"If they see a bus driving down the road, why do they have this sudden urge to dash in front of it?"

"Why do they have to hold their heads when they complain?"

Oh yes, Deepavali is upon us. And in a complete turn around from Hari Raya, the crime rate has kicked it up a notch. Less than a week after opening a brand new goldsmith shop, 4 indians dashed into my cousin bro's store and cleaned it out. The part-time maid suddenly disappeared for 2 weeks then reappeared sporting injuries and bruises claiming that an indian snatched her handbag. And i witnessed a traffic accident along Lavendar road between a car and a motorbiking indian.

Indeed, Deepavali is here. Watch out. If they demand attention, they WILL get it, one way or another.

In other news, shredding documents may be exceptionally calming to the senses, but shredding CDs... ... ah... that is EUPHORIA.

Today, thanks to the release of the latest version of documentation, we had to terminate a few unofficially released versions, which meant shredding papers and CDs alike (yes, our shredder is a certified CD destroyer).

And the office gathered around as i dropped the CD into the shredder and heard the bonecrunching of the gears and the snapping of plastic. Felt awesome.

It also shreds Credit Cards! I will try to find some.

Viva la Shredder! (viva la Halle Berry too, btw)
