Kanasay

-
Just happened to remember what my friend taught me last year.



Nop, the spelling is correct, no typo. And it's not even pronounced the way you think it is.

It's not kar-nuh-suh-ee kanasai, it's ken-ner-say kanasay!

Kanasay (ken-ner-say) is the ang-mohified version of the typical Singaporean kanasai, which sounds so rough and ungraceful. =X Instead of saying "I missed the stupid bus again lah kanasai!", you say "I missed the stupid bus again kanasay~".

Uh huh, so all of you can go and curse for all you want now.

Kthxbai.

Sri Lanka: The Land of Serendipity (And Rice and Curry)

-

Six months ago, I made the decision to leave the corporate world – months later, fate brought me to Sri Lanka, where I spent 5 weeks eating (mostly rice and curry), praying (on meditation retreats and when I jaywalk) and – not loving, but pooping (because chillies aren’t the best for weak stomachs). 1. Think chilli padi gives no kick? Try Sri Lanka’s world-renowned chilli. The world’s spiciest chillies are grown in Sri Lanka. The Bhut Jolokia, more commonly known as “cobra chillies” in Sri Lanka, is the hottest of all known chili peppers at 800,000 to 1,041,000 Scoville units. The Guinness Book of World Records certified these scorching spices as the world's hottest pepper in 2007. I had to request for a takeaway for this plate of roti kottu because IT. WAS. SO. SPICY. Third day into my pro bono volunteering with Sarvodaya , I had to rush to the nearest vegetable store for some wholesome shopping simply because my tongue (and stomach) couldn’t take them chillies ...

该学会的

1、学会冷血，只对对我好的人好，对某些人，简直就是浪费感情 　　 2、学会比以前快乐，即使难过，也要微笑着 　　 3、学会孤独，没有谁会把你当宝护着，世界总是孤单的 　　 4、学会坚强，其实一个人也可以活得漂亮，自己笑给自己看，自己哭给自己听 　　 5、学会忍耐，该闭嘴就闭嘴，该沉默就沉默 　　 6、学会珍惜，知心的朋友已经不多，如果再走，就真的只剩下自己了 　　 7、学会视而不见，恶心的东西选择忽视，厌恶的东西选择屏蔽，不会再有人让我不快乐 　　 8、学会满足，所谓知足常乐 　　 9、学会独立，不能再一味的麻烦别人，自己的事自己做 　　 10、学会长大，不能再那么任性，那么幼稚，那么孩子气 　　 11、学会认真，认真的对人，认真的对事 12、学会慎重，不该认识的人不要认识，不该插手的事不要插手

In 4 days, I've learnt these. 1. See things from a different perspective. There isn't just one solution to everything. 2. People are objective. It's impossible to please everyone. As long as you've tried your best, it's sufficient. 4. Becoming friends is easy, working together as colleagues is hard. But it doesn't hurt to try. There must be a balance point between the two. 5. Don't be too stubborn. Don't just stare at the black spot. Step back, you see more. 6. The stupidest thing to do is to let work affect your relationship. I think I've disappointed everyone when I decided to stay behind. I only see myself in the picture. I think that I overworked. What I failed to see was that everyone else was tired, too. We always say "Don't leave your friends behind" but I failed to live up to the promise. For that, I apologise. Nevetheless, I have to give my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in this. Thanks to the training team for all th...
