Q culture & food

Yesterday was the sensational opening of H&M, where people queued overnight.

This weekend is another Comex IT Show, I did receive sms asking about when HP Touchpads will be selling at the price drop in sg.

Find this comment in yahoo quite amusing.
Spore loves to Q - this is our Q culture. We Q overnight for the birth of Apples's iPads, we also Q overnight for the death of HP's TouchPads, we Q at the Spore Expo at the burial of Borders (50% discounted books).

I don't like queueing, but sometimes I can't help to queue. But for food, yes, sometimes I'm guilty that the longer the queue, the more it makes me curious and the more I wanted to try a dish or resto out and see for myself. Whether it's good or bad, normally I wont come a second time (kakatamad mag-queue!) :)) If it's good, then i'll be happy and say 'Yes I conquer it'. If it's not, then nothing much to say because it will automatically be included in my 'forgettable' list.

I guess I'm bored. Or actually I'm never bored. Seems like I can always think of something new to do. Few friends have asked me why dont I just start a food blog with my fancy for food. Hmm I still dont have a dslr for food photography, which is a requirement for food blogging. I dont really wanna say 'uhmm I actually already have one since ages, just that I dont feel like revealing it to public, as this blog has become a scribble of most of my emotional outbursts and angsts, and I must say this is not very 'me', it's actually a 'negative' me which I dont like to be publicized :p. Anyway, I'll continue to blog about things that strike me, especially food.

One more thing. Usually I get attracted to food places where they have the most number of reviews online, (regardless good or bad). Reviews are subjective. Besides I believe that an object/subject worthy of review in itself already proves its value. Just like a celebrity, who would bother commenting on starlets and trying-hards? Another point is I dont know why people here put so much emphasis on service, like I rate this resto low bec my plates are not being cleared voluntarily eww, my empty glass is not filled automatically. Unless the service is really annoying, disrespectful, else, sorry I find it primadonna to just blabber about service quality. On another hand, yes service becomes important only if you are like paying 50sgd+ per head. Other than that, better shut up about these primadonna manners puhleez.

p.s. whether it's a blessing in disguise or not, I do have all the time in the world now. I have time to step back and smell the roses. Morever, I guess I have more time to blog.
