Coffee Shop Barricade

It has been a tiring one month or so. I was busy with my brother's wedding, then some unfortunate things happened so was busy with that. I had to entertain my Australian relatives for a month, who were here for the wedding as well. Was their local tour guide...shopping, dining, visiting...and the outcome...I'm 4 kgs heavier. Now that I'm a bit free, I'm back with the 1st post for December.

I was at the Vinayagar temple consecration ceremony yesterday. As all temples do, there were many barricades and volunteers. It's a norm for temples to do so to prevent people from rushing into the temple after the ceremony. However what irked me was a vounteer who did not us into a coffeeshop. He said that we could not use it as it was near the temple. There were many others who demanded how could he do such a thing. He couldn't give a proper reply. What pissed me further was that he allowed Chinese people to access the coffeeshop. Below is an excerpt of the conversation:

Dad: Why are you not allowing us?
Volunteer: You cannot enter the temple...You've to wait for your turn.
Sav: But we're going to the coffeeshop not to the temple. Besides they're more barricades after the coffeeshop. We can't climb over it.
Volunteer: No sir, you cannot go from here.
Indian Man: This is Bullshit! Cannot have Kopi?

Volunteer allows 3 chinese people into the coffeeshop

Indian Man: Enna la Nee??? They can drink Kopi....not me ah?
Volunteer: No la sir....You have to wait for your turn.
Dad: Thambi...We want to have coffee, you don't believe us...follow us and see.

Volunteer allows us in.

30 minutes later, we pass by the volunteer after having coffee.

Dad: We already had our coffee, thanks.
Volunteer: I respect you sir, you did not enter the temple.
Sav: Huh? He still dun...
Mum: Saravana...Let's go.

Jalsa


I know I'm guilty...had not been blogging. I've been very busy with lots of stuff. Will write more about that another time. Today's blog is related to Dec 1....yea World AIDS Day. AIDS is on the rise. The government just predicted that this year the numbers are set to soar again. It's just crazy that people practise unsafe sex. Many are unaware that condoms can prevent infection. For all the sex perverts out there...if u want to sleep around think about your family and put on a condom. Although condoms are out there, I believe safe sex is sex with a faithful partner who is the wife. Being a man...I hate to say that men are always on the lookout for the young and beautiful. If you can't be faithful to your wife, do not infect your spouse knowingly. A true family happiness comes within the family. If you want love outside your family, why bother starting a family in the first place. If your wife is not as slim or pretty as before, why look for love elsewhere? If looks and sex life are what a man looks for in a woman, think twice before starting a family. Well I think I've vented enough of my frustration on flirting married men.

Anyways...while having lunch at NTU canteen a few weeks back, Vai and myself spotted a message board. The Message board read "Unprotected Sex is...". Many had written their views about it. However one cheeky Indian or rather Tamil whom I presume is from India, had written something which was funny. I'll let you figure it out yourself...well for my non-Tamil speaking friends out there...I'll explain to you if you ask me personally.
