Ikea furniture sucks!

People say 'Ikea furniture is nice' and 'Ikea furniture is cheap'. Well, I don't think so, because now as I am moving house I find that it is the Ikea furniture that is all falling apart! I'm serious, the shelves on the bookcase are bent and warped, when we tried to move a 'solid' looking clothes cabinet to a neighbour's unit the whole thing fell apart in the lift! We had to tilt it to get it into the lift of course but one would expect that shouldn't cause the whole thing to collapse! I felt so embarrassed with my neighbours..And today the painter came to paint the ceiling and he tried to shift a jewellery or display cabinet and the legs just totally came off! It's like as if Ikea furniture as an expiry date and is meant to fall apart after few years. They just don't make furniture like they used to, those that last forever..so to me Ikea is selling inferior quality furniture and is quite expensive considering they only last a while..

Matured?!

I've had it with this 'matured' look thing that people always give me. I don't want to look 'matured' because that equals 'old'. No doubt some may actually mean it but I have a sneaky feeling that some may just be trying to be polite..I want to look young. fullstop. period.

Water

I wonder..we're all drinking and using water all the time that we assume to be safe, but who really knows whether the water is being treated properly? Especially in a country like Malaysia where the attitude is reprehensible, who knows if the technicians are shirking their responsibility and not changing the treatment equipment as often as they should or at all? I suppose if they don't after a while we would taste the difference in water but what about the other stuff like chlorine and other chemicals that supposedly is bad for your health if there's too much but yet untraceable in the water? Do they constantly monitor and measure? You would think that responsible scientists are doing all this but I wouldn't be surprised if bumbling operators are left to monitor or make sure that everything works properly cause as we know..good help is hard to find! And this doesn't just apply to the municipal water supply, what about the private water companies that purportedly use sophisticated methods and stringent measurements to purify their water? Is it really all that?

Stereotypes

I don't understand why mainstream television still insists on portraying stereotypes like how straight guys are jocks and gay guys are girlish effeminate types, don't they know better by now that loads of gay guys are just like your average joe or even more masculine than a lot of straight guys out there? It's a travesty really how ignorant these scriptwriters are (I'm assuming they're not gay, or even worse they are but have decided to pander to corporate and mainstream sentiments) Whatever the case I think they should really get with the program, it's 2010 already for goodness sakes!

Un-reality tv..

I just watched this show on tv and it's about the life of a tv presenter and her husband, so basically cameras follow them around and chronicle their daily lives..In one of the scenes she's in a session with a psychiatrist and they eventually talk about so-called sensitive stuff and she asks her assistant to leave because of it. I'm thinking here you have the camera man still there and broadcasting for the whole world to see and you're worried about your personal assistant, who's supposed to be one of the people most privy to your personal schedules and activities, being there?! What a crack load of bullshit! That's the ultimate insult as a viewer and a testament to how fake 'reality' tv can be..

Why are gay people more creative?

I just had a discussion with a friend about this and we were trying to figure out why is it that gay people are normally more creative than their straight counterparts, one theory is that gay people have both male and female sensibilities which makes us more rounded and able to appreciate the beauty of life from more than one side or perspective..My theory is that gay people just had to grow up feeling like we were different and so felt that we had to be more creative to stand out and express ourselves, oh and we don't have to spend so much time and energy trying to raise a family so plenty of time to explore other finer things in life..

New home..

Just moved into the new place, finally! After more than a month of getting the place finally moved most of the stuff here and started living in but still takes some getting used to..been getting up really early, maybe cause can't get used to the bed or new place yet but loving it actually, definitely better than the old place cause now my room is bigger and with a new tv and cool beanie glass table and ample cabinets and closets most of all! Though there's still quite a few things to iron out, basically it's just wonderful!
