Its always funny to me when zionists come on this app to try and make hamas look bad with think pieces and they accuse them of things that their own government and the american government does too.

"Hamas tortures and excutes spies" "hamas uses propaganda" "hamas spends alot of money on its military" blah blah blah boy let me tell you something...

You're a zionist?

Depends on your definition of the word

I support zionism in the sense I believe israel should exist. I don't believe Israel has any right to the land of Palestine or Lebanon.

And just because I don't think Israel is actively trying to genocide Palestinians doesn't mean I don't sympathise with their plight or that their civilian casualties mean less or that I'm any less critical of Israel's government. I hate that Palestinians have faced the tyranny of Hamas for so long and Israel adding to its plate and leftists fetishising their trauma to justify dehumanising israeli citizens (I saw a poster accusing a blog of being ok with babies getting blood sucked out of their penises and faux articles claiming idf trained dogs to r*pe Palestinian prisoners or literally impossible number of bullets shot at 5/6/4 year old children and y'all will happily buy any kind of blood libel instead of calling these sick people out. ) Like what's happening to Palestinians is bad enough and you're a vile person if you feel the need to wildly exaggerate their suffering to get western leftists to hate jews. I also think US should stop supplying weapons to Israel.

So..yeah. I'm still pro palestine. Very. But I will still rb posts making fun of and calling out antisemites and leftist bs in general.

Tl;dr: I just want peace, man and I don't want israel to be nuked ig? In the actual definition of the word, yeah I support zionism.

大家好! Like everyone else, I have food cravings except they're not for fastfood. I haven't eaten tomato egg la mian (hand-pulled noodles) for some time. All of a sudden, I was reminded of them and had to have some, because, why not? Back it was to the stall owned and operated by the middle-aged couple from China. Ahh, those vibrant colours and chewy noodles! A very long queue formed in front of the stall as I enjoyed my meal. Looks like they're doing very well and they deserve it. Their dishes are delicious!

We had some crazy hot afternoons this week. What can be better than conveyor belt sushi for WFH lunch? It's moderately healthy, delicious and quick and keeps me cool in this insane heat. Off it was to a popular restaurant chain for some bite-sized yumminess. I chose tuna gunkan which came with chopped tomato, shoyu tuna (admittedly a wrong order because I wanted maguro), conger eel, botan ebi (giant shrimp), squid, 2 servings of salmon belly and a green tea. The first order of 5 plates and green tea were served under 5 minutes. Now THIS is MY kinda fastfood. YUM!

ML had been raving about the Hakka yong tau foo stall she frequents for quite some time, so this week, I finally joined her, SC and MI when they went to get their fix. The moment I saw they offered meepok amongst other types of noodles, I was sold. There were only 4 pieces - stuffed bittergourd, brinjal, fu pi juan (tofu skin roll) and tau kwa (firm tofu) but they were pretty large. Mannnnn, this was DELICIOUS! The pork stuffing was perfectly seasoned and had a bouncy texture, their chilli sauce was divine, the light clear broth was tasty yet not too salty and meepok is always yummy. Definitely something I wanna have again.

I hardly buy sterling silver jewellery because they tarnish easily and require more regular cleaning than solid gold. Because my wrists are small, bolo bracelets are pretty much the few types of bracelets that fit. Yeah, inclusivity and all, but I find it too emotionally taxing to have to demand that stores cater to my size. More fun and less stressful to shop around and discover gems in different places. Anyway, there aren't many bolo bracelets in solid gold here, so I turned to sterling silver which I can wear with athleisure outfits. Whilst at it, I also wanted to support local small businesses. Well, I found my bracelet and bought earrings too! I didn't opt for gemstones so that cleaning would be easier - just dunk them in cleaning solution, rinse, pat dry and voila! These gleaming pieces are so lovely. Can't wait to wear them.

I haven't written much about the genocidal war in Gaza simply because events are unfolding so quickly that by the time I post, something new has happened. But I follow the news as well as continue to pray for the Palestinians. Perhaps what is happening to Biden is the punishment he deserves? May parties supplying weapons to Israel all feel the power of God's wrath. Thou shalt not kill. 下次见!
