The Difference Between Ais Kosong And Evian
April 14th, 2007
i’m drinking water that tastes like it came from the tap. that’s probably because it did come from the tap, but it is embellished with a slice of lemon on the side and has a bendable black straw stuck in it; a futile attempt at embellishment and elevation of status to make the glass of water look more than it really is. momentarily i am fooled into thinking i’m paying my money’s worth, but my tastebuds know their stuff, and now after two sips i am pissed off.
i’m glad that this place didnt choose to bestow upon their water the cringe-inducing moniker of ’sky juice’, but that doesnt change the fact that many other places do, and it doesnt change the fact that we will not be free from this hybrid of liquid called skyjuice – that is apparently one-up from good ol’ water – until the day people decide to stop being phony.
at the end of the day it’s a fucking Ikea glass filled with water that came from the tap, if you know what i mean.

You hate that name too?
People would just get phonier. Don’t think we’ll see the day they would stop.
Sky juice, as much as we hate it, is here to stay.

in certain circles, a twisted lemon slice covers a multitude of sins

uhm, we do drink tap water here. some has it written near the tap that it is indeed ‘drinkable water’, and frankly, it taste just alright… weird? =)

You need to watch Penn & Teller’s Bullshit. It’s a great show. I suggest you torrent it now, so you have something to watch until grey’s and heroes comes back. Add Dexter to that list as well. Anyways, they did an ep where they said bottle water is bullshit. You should see it.

Oh please! Dexter is 12 eps and Bullshit is worth the time. As for the US schools, I kinda figured that out, I think you mentioned it in a past blog entry. Hey, I know what’s that’s like, I haven’t applied to any Med Schools as well, taking some time off, thinking of traveling. Doesn’t that sound like fun?
