"Just a Burger? Just a burger. Robin, it’s so much more than "just a burger." I mean… that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us in food."

Lessons learnt from Gilmore Girls
Luke:
Oh! Uh, congratulations.
Emily:
For what?
Luke:
You know, your thing tomorrow, renewing your vows.
Emily:
You congratulate the groom. You offer the bride best wishes.
Luke:
Oh.
*awkward silence*
Uh, best wishes.
Emily:
Why, thank you Luke. How sweet of you to say.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Richard:
*whispering* Psst, Lorelai. I need you to do something.
Lorelai:
Oh, spy voice. Cool.
Richard:
Focus, please?
Lorelai:
I am a camera.
Richard:
I want to give your mother a present. But I don't know what her dress looks like. So, I need you to take these, wait till she's not looking, hold them up to the dress, pick the one that looks best, bring it back to me and I will give it to her. Got it?
Lorelai:
Got it.
Richard:
Go.
*She goes upstairs to Emily's room*
Lorelai:
*walks in and holds out both necklaces* Which one do you want?
Emily:
That one. The other for my birthday.
Rory:
Look at that! It's so fancy.
Emily:
Your grandfather has perfect taste in necklaces and earrings. It's very important to find a man who can pick out your jewelry.
Lorelai:
Or steal it!

How I Met Your Mother - 'The Wedding' (Season 1 Episode 12)
Marshall:
This wedding does sound pretty amazing though. Fancy hotel ballroom... Everybody all dressed up...
Lily:
Uh here we go...
Barney:
What?
Lily:
We can't get anywhere with our wedding plans because I want it to be fun and Marshall wants it to be lame.
Marshall:
*Scoffs* Oh yeah. Ok, that's a pretty fair assessment of our two arguments.
Lily:
I thought so.
Marshall:
You know what, excuse me if I don't want to get married barefoot in the woods next to Lake No-One's-Gonna-Drive-That-Far. Yes! I want a ballroom and I want a band and I want shoes. I've been dreaming about this day since I was... like...
Lily:
*Interrupt* A little girl?
Barney:
Waddup! *High-fives Lily*
Marshall:
Ok, I'm just saying that it's my wedding too and I should have a say in it.
Lily:
But I'm the bride. So, I win.
Marshall:
But I thought marriage is about two equal partners, sharing a life together.
Lily:
Right, but I'm the bride. So, I win.

Sartorial musings
I was having coffee with my mom and people-watching today - and making the observation that people in Singapore generally dress rather sloppily and/or wear clothes that don't flatter their bodies.
which started my mom on how in her childhood, my grandmother, who used to be a seamstress before my grandfather opened the provision shop, used to reiterate how important it was to dress well when one goes out. like even to the market, because it was about being presentable outside of the home, so she'd wear her samfus, which were always well taken care of. my mom didn't have many clothes as a child, but if she went to Chinatown with my grandmother, my grandmother would always make sure she had on a nice dress and wear shoes with socks (because according to my mom, clogs and slippers were only 'allowed' to the market and no further).
I think we've lost the sense of dressing presentably before leaving the house. Funny when you think about how much we love to shop - is it that we always stick with our old (comfortable) favourites, no matter that it no longer fits well and/or looks tatty? or is it just that we have no innate sense of style?
now THAT'S quite worrying...
