Spring Forward, Fall Back!
Sunday, March 8, 2009
So what does the cryptic title mean?
Well, it's DST! Daylight Savings Time! I guess in Singapore, since we're so near the equator, we're not affected by seasonal changes. But in other countries where seasons do matter, spring and summer experience longer days, while fall and winter experience shorter days. The further you are to the pole, the more extreme the situation gets, leading to the phenomena of polar nights (everlasting night, where the sun can never rise above the horizon), and polar days (everlasting day, where the sun can never go below the horizon).
Pretty cool stuff eh?
Anyway, in 1hour's time, I'll be officially 12 hours behind SG time, instead of the 13 hour, because the clock is going to jump forward to 3am, when it hits 2am.
Confusing? Yea I know...it confused the hell outta' me too when I first learned it from Matt (a local friend).
Apparently, "hell freezes over at 2am" =)
Also, if you ever hit Atlanta, do visit this burger place called Vortex. It's fucking awesome. Period. It's like a "biker-gang" place, where you can smoke, drink, and be rowdy, and enjoy terrific burgers all in the same place, indoors! The servers are cool as hell, wearing biker clothes and sporting tattoos, and the management has more power than the customers.
Their menu has a page-long disclaimer that says they have the right to refuse serving "idiots", the "customer is not always right", and a "no whining" policy for customers. Yes, I kid you not! And when we decided to test the system by asking our server to allow us to change tables, she told us curtly, "look I sat you here. You either stay here or get out."
Talk about customer service! It's non-existent (in conventional sense), but yet totally awesome since it suits the entire feel of the place! And the server chicks are hot hot hot...svelte figures, leather, and sexy tattoos...did I tell you guys I have a thing for tattoed chicks? Haha...
Anyway, I didn't take any photos due to the "nature" of the place, being so cool and hardy...cuz taking a camera out would seriously make you look like a damn pansy in there. But their burgers are to die-for. I had a "Double Bypass" burger. No prizes for guessing why it's called that.
The burger is made up of 2 cheese sandwiches as the top and bottom "bread" (so that's 4 slices of bread with lots of cheese) of the burger, a beef pounder, 5 slices of bacon, and a heckload more of cheese.
It guarantees to shorten your lifespan and send you for a heart bypass surgery, not just once, but twice!
And yea, I'm pretty sure I just shortened my lifespan having that absolutely sinful burger.
P.S. there is a burger called the "Coronary Bypass", which is half of the "Double Bypass"...haha...
