New Singaporean-ism #1 discovered last night: green tea whiskey. Verdict: kind of nasty, but after coddling the waiter into adding more green tea into our drink, almost acceptable.
New Singaporean-ism #2 discovered last night: a person projectile vomiting can be referred to as a "merlion". Used in a sentence: (tap on shoulder, gesture at friend bent over the bushes) "Eh wait, behind got merlion." Verdict: very nasty.
Non-Singaporean-ism discovery of a discovery last night: a mild horror story involving a particular drawer in my apartment. Verdict: (speechless, wildly amused)

I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross / to reach you. For I am in love with you / and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.
Carol Ann Duffy
When I grow up, I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.

No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
