Chocolate Chronicles
After 3 days of chocolate-detox, I decided to reward myself with, duh, a bar of chocolate. Actually 2 bars. Argh shit.
Anyway, I ripped open Milky Way (one of the chocolate bars in the jumbo pack grandpa gave me from Taiwan/America) and suspicions were aroused. It had an uncanny resemblance to Mars bar and Snickers. We don’t get a lot of chocolate bars in Singapore so I thought that every chocolate bar would look different. Well, I was wrong.
I chewed. Hmm. Isn’t that caramel? I look down. Why, it is caramel.
I chewed again. Hmm, isn’t that nougat? I look down, and OMG it is nougat!
I chewed again. Hmm, isn’t this a frickin’ MARS BAR?! I look down, and ZOMG it was exactly like a Mars Bar, except with more caramel.
Chocolate lesson that I’ve learnt today: Milky Way = Mars Bar + Extra Caramel
I ripped open another chocolate bar, this time it’s 3 Musketeers (45% less fat, it enticingly said on the package) Again, it bore an uncanny resemblance to Mars bar.
I chewed. Hmm, isn’t that nougat? I look down, holy shit it IS nougat!
Chocolate lesson number 2: 3 Musketeers = Mars bar – Caramel
I still have Snickers Almond and Twix to go, and I just realized that Twix is the bloody same as well – caramel + nougat. Why do I get the feeling that Snickers Almond won’t surprise me either?
Something about Economics is nagging at the back of my mind, something like, if every stupid chocolate bar is the same, how will one manufacturing company earn more profits than other manufacturing companies…
Anyway, enough of the chocolate talk (I can’t believe every chocolate bar in the world is basically the same! Totally cheated my feelings 
) I should be blogging about more important things, but… Nah, I like the chocolate talk.
I’m kind of nervous about Tuesday, the posting results. I know I have to mentally prepare myself to stay in SAJC and the long stupid rides home from there (bright side: the uniform?) because ACJC’s mode of accepting students seems pretty shady (shan’t elaborate, quite a touchy topic)
I suppose staying SAJC won’t be bad. I’m actually beginning to enjoy my stay there (too late, eh), I realized that the only put-off was the distance. I don’t know why but distance really seems to bug me a lot. I think it’s because of my body-clock: Wake up later = Enjoy the day better.
Anyway, enough bumbling. Tomorrow’s my birthday, but even though I’ve thrown around numerous subtle hints (eg. “Hey, my birthday’s next Saturday, and I like surprises *wink*” ) I think most people forgot. Oh well, what are we but insignificant machines in this gigantic universe.
