Singapore Food Cravings + Friends Theme: Monday Exiled

March 23, 2020

Singapore food cravings, Friends-style nostalgia, and exile feelings ran through the day, with me using memory, TV, and comfort fantasies to cope with how cut off and displaced I felt.

Mon 23 Mar

9:45 a.m.

I wish I was in Singapore for the food. I don't like the food in Sri Lanka. I need to go get some lightly toasted bread with some peanut butter for breakfast -- which is similar to Iranian cuisine, sort of, minus saffron or mutton or hummus or cinnamon.

I had two strange dreams:

(i) I can't remember. It was a very interesting dream. I think I forgot. It wasn't a nightmare. It was a pleasant vivid dream. It was on my mind, but now I forgot. I fell asleep again and had a nightmare.

(ii) aman drives the S Class and tries ████████████. Young fellow. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████ The fellow wanted to make it look like a suicide. He was driving me home. I think I'll eventually always carry a firearm, probably a Walther or a Beretta.

I was thinking last night that ██████████████████████████████████████████████, but I still show kindness, affinity and try get along. I always try to serve them as customers and to protect them all. I see them as friends. I just promote propaganda to preserve our strategic interests.

I rejected a CEO application from some man who is COO of Fortress Technology Sri Lanka. His number wasn't valid, and I'm a picky hiring officer, especially for this role. I'm unhappy that it's the 13th week. The only real superstition I have is fear of the number 13.

10:15 a.m.

I used to get really good bread rolls at my Freemason Lodge meetings in England. I really liked them. I spoke to some son of a b***h brethren (who probably knew) and they (then claimed they) didn't know what it was. I guess it was sour dough. I dunno. I need to call them up and check, I hope it's not on lockdown.

11:15 a.m.

. I need new boxers and to go get breakfast and food.

11:30 a.m.

I'm going to go downstairs soon. I'm so hungry. I was watching cooking videos. I want a Michelin star restaurant one day, serving brisket. I'll call it The Pirate Bay or The Pirate Club. Maybe we can be by reservation only or make foods for orders to lower costs.

11:45 a.m.

12:00 p.m.

12:45 p.m.

I had a great breakfast. Or brunch, I should say. I loved it. I had a lot of peanut butter and canola butter or margarine or Canola spread. I mixed it up and ate with lightly toasted, still white, but hot and crispy white bread. It was really good. I feel so full.

1:00 p.m.

1:45 p.m.

I really wish I had had some cinnamon powder to add to my peanut butter and canola spread butter today. I wish I did. It would've been amazing. I'm reading The Hiram Key published in 1996. It's interesting stuff. I offered a free copy to brother Andy Green.

I dunno how they make cinnamon powder, I guess they grind it up. I should do a cinnamon powder business one day. I dunno. I kind of have enough to focus on IT security. I love my job. It's so f***ing interesting!

2:00 p.m.

I wish I also had some pink Himalayan salt too -- that would've accentuated the flavours. See the thing anybody has gotta understand is that the peanut butter is pretty sturdy. When you add butter or margarine or canola spread, it becomes more liquid and fluid and it tastes a lot better.

I think my original recipe for peanut toast is special. You need finely ground saffron, Pink Himalayan Salt and Sri Lanka Cinnamon. (Spicy version includes chilli powder). Then you put a generous amount of creamy peanut butter and also butter, margarine or canola spread on two sides of the plate and mix according to taste and personal preferences.

The way you eat it, is you toast the white bread, but not so much it turns brown. Then you tear off the crusts to sacrifice to Moloch. Or you buy bread with no crust to use. Then the lightly toasted bread, you dip on the peanut butter + extra butter spread, and then sprinkle powder and eat. Otherwise, you mix powder into spread and eat.

2:15 p.m.

By tomorrow, everyone will just steal my special Lehan/ Cyberspace Command peanut butter butter and saffron, salt and cinnamon powder toast recipe. Everyone only ever gossips about me in Sri Lanka. They'll all say it's their own recipe. Everyone is jealous of me. Out of the generosity and kindness of my heart, I won't copy right protect my offering.

3:00 p.m.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ They represent the utmost stupidity of our people. I'll be very happy if they shall perish with their ways of wickedness, ignorance and foolishness.

I'll just shed crocodile tears for my friends who may perish. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

6:00 p.m.

I'm getting sleepy. I woke up pretty early. I'm so bored. I'm so f***ing bored.

8:30 p.m.

I'm so sleepy. I spoke to Kasuni ██████████████████ for 1 and a half hours re: business. Her cousin sister, a plus size model, has contact with Mr Dheerasinghe at Commercial Bank. I also discussed operating strategies and also to make videos of our company.

I spoke to the Sales director at ABC broadcasting████████████████████████████████████████████ I'll talk to him in the morning and advice him properly. █████████████████████████████████████he's working for Raynor or Vincent Silva████████████████Duminda's people. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████

8:45 p.m.

I had a paltry dinner. I'll go to sleep soon.

10:15 p.m.

I'm going to sleep soon. Some crazy people tried applying to my team, I rejected them.

Exhibit 2. I like this guy NoHo Hank

https://youtu.be/qUliAN4NYHU

I actually like Barry more

Bill Hader is really good in it. William Thomas Hader Jr., I liked him on Saturday Night Live as well.

I liked this SNL episode:

https://youtu.be/xplEPT5I39E

I like NoHo Hank's dance at the end of this scene:

https://youtu.be/5zXrjeTNXJw

I like Barry

Didn't Jesus go fasting for 40 days and 40 nights or something (Mathew 4:2; Mark 1:13; Luke 4:2)? I'm sure we can all get through this temptation of the devil to not focus on isolating, social distancing and be cautious. Plus, we have food and drink -- and in my fridge, good, stolen wine!

Let's be positive and spend time with family, work on building our skills at home by learning, play video games, read, have fun, etc. When was the last time we hung out with family? The frontline medical teams are even sacrificing this luxury of hanging with family, and their lives, for our sakes.

Plus this is Singapore la, what's with the entitled dependency syndrome? Singapore wasn't built on a handout, we were built earning our bottom line. We should use this to learn patience, resilience and forbearance. Things could've been a lot worse -- like way worse.

In my case, I'm watching The Walking Dead to practise for when I have to step outside. My idiota brother Milan is playing Call of Duty Warzone. (Just kidding, I like to lighten up the mood).

I have a feeling in 40 day's time of this lockdown/ curfew, we're going be okay and get back to normal life and get on with business as usual (Acts 1:3).

I just hope all this Covid19 coronavirus stuff has nothing to do with Dr Thomas Cowan's "5G blanketed Wuhan leading to ionizing radiation mutating RNA of poisonous toxins from snakes/ bats as expelled virus cells..! ('Conspiracy theory')." I truly do doubt it.

Here's a transcript some time back re: SIA:

Mr Rubenstein:

Now, you flew over here on Singapore Airlines.

PM Lee:

Actually, not. I flew over on somebody else's airline.

Mr Rubenstein:

Because Singapore Airlines was not available, I guess, at that time.

PM Lee:

We do not fly directly to Washington, alas!

Mr Rubenstein:

Well, maybe you can change that.

PM Lee:

We hope so, the intermediate stops do not quite agree.

Mr Rubenstein:

So, Singapore Airlines has a very good reputation for service. So what is its secret, why is it generally rated the best airline in the world?

PM Lee:

Well, the Chairman is here, you can ask him. I think it is because he knows that the reputation is on the line. Furthermore, they have to earn their bottom line. And if they do not, well, there is no bail out for them. So, they work very hard and they have built up a very strong team and there is a very strong pride amongst the team in SIA and among Singaporeans in our national airline.

Exhibit 3. Brisket

1. My favourite food: smoked beef brisket -- this is a hot and fast method to making it, although I prefer low and slow:

2. I like this Texas style video too:

https://youtu.be/8BFwuQFAQ44

I'm gonna set up an office with Shanil Fernando at Sysco Labs in Texas, maybe in Austin, Houston, Dallas, wherever and go get some BBQ every day. I love my BBQ.

It's about the only G-d damned thing I like to eat. Maybe I'll set it up myself. Even if I do a degree or master's degree in Texas, I'll be very happy if I can get BBQ every day.

I can't wait to open up a BBQ joint and make BBQ in Sri Lanka. If it's part of Cyberspace Command, that means I get free BBQ every single day. I can even make BBQ beef ribs.
