OMG Americans!
21 octogenarian American tourists arrived for dinner last night while i was working the dinner shift in the hotel. The tables have already been set and the 2-course dinner meant that the main course was served alternatedly. So Joe Blogg will get veal and lemon tarts while his missus gets the lamb and chocolate cake.
It was so refreshing to hear the American accent again. Having been brought up and fed a diet of American english and pop culture, i actually found myself smiling just listening to the tourists talk among themselves. Sadly, i don’t hear enough of American english as everything here is “How you going?” (which doesn’t make any sense), “Ta!” (doesn’t make sense either) or the most annoying thing, the way Australians pronounce the word ‘here’. It’s like, ‘Hee-yeah” or something.
I got so caught up with the whole American thing i was so tempted to say:
“Alright Democrats get the veal while Republicans get the lamb.”
Good thing i ran it through my manager first and he told me they’re devout Christians from Pennsylvania who do not drink! Gosh i’d have thought they’re Mormons or something! They might have found the sight of a random Asian man spouting politics too much for them! They’d have passed out or suffered a heart attack!

When I saw the title of this post I was expecting something negative. Its good to see a positive post on Americans.
I didn’t grow up in the US, so i’m not informed enough to make educated pot shots at the President’s decision.
I did, however, come from one of the world’s most censored countries. I love flaming Singapore more than any other countries. You can’t call yourself a first world country when you ban chewing gum.
F**K Singapore.
The president is a paranoid delusional who believes God

You sure you wana trade a wimp for a Prime Minister who got his job through nepotism, is homophobic, fines and sues/or all opposition parties so his political party always wins (for the last 45+ years), and is a chinese supremist?
Cmon, its not a fair trade…
And he throws up at state parties on a regular basis.

“How you going?”
Surely it’s “How ya goin’?” which makes complete sense. Ta, and ta ta.
