I cannot stand the advertisement for last week’s Beauty Files. There was a part where this girl was talking about how she stayed in America for 5 years or something, and how the foot there is bigger portioned than the foot in asia. Yup. She pronounces ‘food’ as ‘foot’. Tubs was the one who pointed it out for me and he made so much noise about it that I started taking note of it and it has irritated me incessantly since. Obviously 5 years in America later, she didn’t learn much English. I don’t have that big a problem with bad English. I admit I at times find it hard to control myself and laugh at people, but what I can’t stand are people who try too hard and posers. And because this girl has the great honour of having her 15 seconds of fame on TV at the same time as Fann Wong’s Shanghai Knights trailer, I realise that they speak alike. The same indistinguishable accent and the badly pronounced words. But Fann is slightly more jialat I guess, cos she gets subtitles cos she is that hard to understand. Even Jackie Chan doesn’t get subtitles. Haha. Or maybe Miss ‘asian foot’ just doesn’t speak enuff on the commercial to command her own subtitles. Okok. I shall stop for now. It’s the CNY season. Must be nice.
Updates on the past week now!
Last Tuesday, met up with Vince in town and spent the whole day in Orchard, having lunch followed by coffee til nite time. Boon Lay nasi lemak-ed after that. Shiok. It’s been a bloody long time since I last ate that. Thanks boy for everything. The meals, the present and the company. Went to pick up some things from Ah Qi and then I dropped by Bayshore to look for Mandy dear for a smoke.
On Thursday, I couldn’t sleep at all so ard 7+am, I msged Jane and she wasn’t sleeping either so we went ECP for Macs breakfast. Haha. We slacked there til around 10am and once I got home and logged onto MSN, Chixy was online and she hasn’t slept as well. Haha. We went to shower and get ready and the 3 of us met for some last minute CNY shopping. Spent the entire day in town, but ended up with nothing at all other than an achy body. Thanks tubs for coming to pick us up after that! Cos I was stoned beyond believe.
Friday, met my bitches for lunch at Roxy and in the evening, tubs came to pick me up and we went Bugis to meet Jes, Rachel and Ah Boy and we celebrated Rachel’s birthday at XDL. Haha. What’s new eh. That girl goes nowhere else but XDL. After that the 5 of us headed to Kbox for some KTV and towards the end, Rach & Boy left and it didn’t take tubs long to fall asleep so Jes and I played all the videos we wanted to watch.
Saturday was reunion dinner at Traders’. I love my lobsters, sashimi and oysters! Tubs came to pick me up after that and we headed over to Ann’s place to meet my lovelies and they played MJ til after 6 in the morning. Too much TV and ciggies for me.
Sunday, we lunched at Waraku ECP and tubs had to head home so I met my bitches and went to Chixy’s house to slack while Jane did her nails. Met Jes for coffee after that and even after I got home, I couldn’t sleep at all but thank goodness I had some entertainment on MSN. Haha. I think I barely slept 3 hours before I had to wake.
Monday. First day of CNY, and oso Rachel’s birthday. Happy birthday to my dear girl! Hope you like what we got you! Granny’s house in the morning and stayed there til I was sleepy and hot so we headed home in the afternoon. Met Kailing cos she was at Bayshore and tubs came over. Dinner with him at Mas Ayu before he left and so I met up with Jes for coffee. After sending her home, bumped into someone. What a small world. Haha. Not. Considering how near we stay to each other.
Tuesday, went to both granny’s house to visit and it was a little bit of blackjack, and a little bit of bingo. Stayed there til after dinner and then together with tubs and Chan, we went to Ann’s place around 10.30pm and I watched movie after movie while the rest of them played MJ. We ordered in Macs breakfast and it wasn’t long after that they finished their game and it was home sweet home for some much needed sleep.
Here are some pix at 婆婆's. The humble neighbourhood where I spent a big part of my childhood at.
公公's 'treasure'. Haha
Over to paternal granny's.
Goodies galore! Here are only some of it.
This is granny's famous 'wu har'. Not the prettiest thing, but tastes bloody heavenly. It's a pain to make though so very year, it's really limited. Nobody can get enough of it. Yums.
Gambling time! Bingo, Blackjack, Daidee.
Wednesday, most people are back to work but not tubs. So we slept in and for dinner, he decided to go Traders’. Omg. I didn’t eat too much but it was yummy and I didn’t mind it too much cos the spread was pretty different from the other day’s. We headed to the east after that and tubs played more MJ but just for a short while cos he has to work the next day.
Ok. Updated. Hope everyone is sufficiently bored by my post cos I am thoroughly bored typing it. Haha. This year, there is no CNY mood at all. Sianz.
There are photos, but non are with me so I’ll post them when I do get them yah.
