BLOGGING SPREE!

August 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

i’m back! 3rd time in the same day.

Actually i kinda felt that the previous post and the previous previous post were kinda crap?
haha. but whatever man.

oh ya. btw, i wanna talk about smoking now.
I have nothing against smokers. They can smoke for all they want, they happy their dai ji.
If they are my frens, they can still smoke and i won’t like stay away from them like they are the plague or sth.

I just feel that smoking is such a waste of money and life.
money and life literally.
u spend money like every 2 to 3 days (is it? or shorter or longer i dont know) just to buy a packet of cigarettes.
Then u will smoke and smoke and not realize u are wasting ur life away.
Ur lifespan shortens.
U will gradually develop an odor of cigarette smoke, not only when u speak but just by showing ur presence.
Then in the end, though u still have frens but u are harming urself.

u pay to harm urself. whats the point?

might as well go pay money to exercise.
use that money go sign up for fitness programs?
or use that money give me, i stop u from smoking :D

okay, imma sleep.
it’s getting late.

its WEDNESDAY!
half-way into the week, Wednesday happens to have the same starting letter as Week! :)

Sucking on Lollipop

August 26, 2008 · 2 Comments

I wrote this title 2 days back but after typing that 3 words in the title box, i lost all my thoughts momentarily and decided to stop blogging and close the window.
So hence, the random title – which has nothing to do with this post.

Recently, i’ve been visiting facebook daily and i realized that actually it is a good place to spend internet time on.
U can keep in contact with frens.
U can see interesting photos.
U can discover new relationships that u never knew existed before. Imagine seeing ur classmate kissing ur jc fren in a photo. Or maybe seeing ur ns bunk mate’s status “in a relationship with …” where “…” refers to your cousin. (two examples above are purely fabricated)
haha. at one point of time, i even thought of deleting my facebook account cos i think its damn wu liao.
But now, i’ve changed my mind. I’ve even used it as a platform to count down to my ORD day sia.
yeah yeah. thats zixuan. forever counting down one. not sian ah. what a no life guy
i count down also my own problem, so if anyone were to say that to me, sorry hor. who’s the no life one?
if u got life, u would have better things to do than to notice me counting down and then start criticizing me. HAHA NOOB.

I forgot what i wanted to blog about liao.

The QUEEN Day: Part II

August 18, 2008 · 3 Comments

Then i took the lift down and walked to the nearest toilet, which was across the main road, at the hawker centre there.
It felt shiok to finally relieve myself and to splash some water on my face.
haha. i looked into the mirror and my face was slightly red and the eyes were slightly blood-shot red too.
This symptom of post-drinking-alcohol i inherited from my dad.
Both our faces turn red easily, especially the ears and the eyes, but we are not drunk that easily.
(Note that i say this now, when i’m NOT DRUNK, so u can’t say that it’s cos i’m drunk after drinking, thats why i keep saying im not drunk to deny the fact that i’m drunk cos actually i’m really not drunk. baby: oh shut up. hahaha.)

And since shilin was sick, i had to contact her brother.
It was 11.15pm cos i slowly tu-ed while walking to toilet, took my own sweet time to pee and stuff.
then, i decided to go collect my stuff from her brother cos i felt bad about delaying pple’s precious sleep-time.
I slowly strolled from the hawker centre to The Tanamera.
Sat around at the benches downstairs to cool off abit cos the wind was damn shiok.
Then after collecting the stuff, i went back down to the benches to enjoy the wind again

when the cold wind blows

and then, it was time.
deng-deng-deng-dengggggggggggg.

I went over to beeeee’s house outside the stairs there.
I sat there for a while, slowly poking the candles into the brownie cake.
I did not have enough candles so in the end i poked 2 big candles at one side of the cake and 1 small candle at the other side.
This symbolizes 20-1 = 19.
I was still feeling damn sian cos of the failed attempts at baking the brownie and the making of the icing last night =(
and the cake was like still in the metal tray which i used for baking.
haha. but i thought: wth. it’s the effort and thought that count. though if the cake were to turn out damn pretty, it would be a bonus but it’s still good enough.

indeed. it was good enough :)
haha

I was talking to her on the phone after wishing her bday and then i finally asked, “U sleeping already? if not, want help me open the door?”
hahaha. then she immed. stunned tio.
Then she opened the door and let me in,
we sat at the dining table there to slowly see what i’ve given her.
Meanwhile, got pple sms and call her to wish her happy bday.
She was a happy girl :D
haha. and hence,

2nd surprise: SUCCESS!

2 down, 2 more to go.

The next morning, i woke up rather late which i kinda felt damn sian about.
Cos my plan was to wake up earlier to have breakfast with her and to get the cheesecake ingredients before i meet her.
Why cheesecake?
cos i’ve arranged for ys,yy,yibbon and grace to come and surprise beeeee at my house, and after which we are supposed to bake cheesecake!
haha in the end, i met her to go do some shopping at ntuc.
I supposedly lied to her that we are going to cook our own meal at my house, and chill a bit before going out to watch money no enough 2.

After shopping around, it was time to go my house.
I still have to drag a bit cos it was still quite early, as they all will only be reaching my place at around 1pm plus but it was 12pm only after we were done shopping.
Then i damn scared they dont know how to come, so must drag some more, in case they get lost or sth.
haha so i went into sheng siong to buy some drinks, and dammit man, the marigold orange juice tasted like shit.
like expired dont know how many months type.

Throughout all this time i was corresponding with ys thru smses.
damn gan chiong sia.
and in the end, they took the bus 28 right in front of us.
Which means that its damn heng la.
thanks to yy, they found my house without the help of dora bringing them into my house.
haha. and so we reached home.
then being the experienced surprise-people, they remember to keep their shoes somewhere out of sight.
I thought they will pop up from the kitchen or sth, but nothing leh.

(this time, i got 3 unread smses that i nvr open at all and 1 of them actually reads “we are in ur room. door closed. bring fiona up.”)
and so i went upstairs with fiona to my room.
all 3 doors were closed, so i slowly opened them 1 by 1.
JUST NICE. the two i opened they weren’t inside.
then i asked her to open the last one – my room door.
and TA-DAH!
a donut with a half-burnt candle on it (it was already burning for quite long liao. hahah)
this time, there was a bday song!
haha.
THANKS YY, YS, YIBOON and GRACE! :D

after that,
we ate donuts, fried rice and shishamo!
we chatted around a bit and there were many failed attempts in trying to play with kobe.
But finally, kobe was not shivering badly after he saw food.
lol.
I’m getting more and more lazy to describe everything that happened in detail.
haha. but in all, we had a great time chilling out at my place.
Though there were no cheesecake or brownie baking in the end (cos i had no time to go hunt for the ingredients), we still enjoyed ourselves, especially baby i hope :)

3rd surprise: SUCCESS!

and then, we went our separate ways.
They went home while the both of us went to The Cathay to catch money no enough 2.
It was a typical jack neo movie lor.
There’s laughter and there’s tears.
But it does makes us realize that in this world, money is still an important factor in life.
Like it or not, if you got lesser money than others, ur life will generally not be any better than others.
Though it’s true that money’s not everything and that not-so-well-to-do families can still live so much happier than rich families, but it’s also true that with money, many things can be much easily solved and there are also lesser worries.
In a country like Singapore, i feel that money’s quite important.
sigh.

ANYWAY, away from that forever-arguable topic.

The show made me want to say I LOVE YOU to my mum!
haha. and my ah ma too. lol.

After much discussion, we decided to eat at Seafood Harvest @ Bugis.
Initially we wanted Indulgz Bistro cos it seemed so HC (opposite of yonghong’s commonly used LC = Low Class)
but when we check out the menu and place, it wasn’t very nice and still, it was quite pricey.
haha. actually Seafood Harvest is not that cheap either but the food’s NICE.

Here are pictures of what we ate:


The 1-for-1 drink offer


Complimentary Garlic Bread

Oysters Natural (Half a Dozen)

Steak + Lobster (Baked Potatoes TOO :D )

Lovely Lobster & Stunning Steak

Pretty (BAKED) Potato

The food was not bad la.
but i realized lobster, only got that part can eat nia. u see the meat squeezing out of the shell there?
ya lor. that part only, other than that the other parts of the lobster taste like crap.
ya crap, not CRAB.
lol.

haha. i love the potato jiu dui le.

See the cherry in the drink?
Ms Ong insisted she could do it..
and..

INDEED she managed to do it sia.
and look at that victorious face of hers. hahaha.

haha.
next, we went to walk around abit before going to TCC to sit and chill a while.
FINALLY i get to eat my chocolate cake!
the one that she has been describing to me: got chocolate oozing out from inside one, then damn pretty one, u will sure like it one.
haha indeed.
it looks damn chio la.

and it tasted quite nice!
But it was sad that their portion is so small :(

Then we chilled around, playing her LGB (which stands for LG Baby)
haha. took photos using her webcam with all the wacky effects.
then she insisted that she took these 2 very artistic shots of me while i playing around with LGB.

hahaha. and this is the nicest photo i took of her. so nice that she put as facebook profile picture la. how pro am i.

haha and after slacking around and some more playing with her LGB, i unleashed the 4th surprise of the Queen’s 19th bday.
I think she didn’t expect this.
I took out a pair of earrings from my bag.
(people, don’t think too much. its not those thousand plus dollars one)

4th and final surprise: SUCCESSFULLY WRAPPED UP THE ENTIRE DAY :D

and so off home we went,
a happy couple,
a happy 19-year-old girl,
a happy boyfriend,
a happy 14th Aug 2008 :)

FOSH, I love you.

and now, let’s start counting down to the next Queen Day.
365, 364 …


BUT,
let’s not forget that it’s gonna be my turn to turn 20 first :D
HAHAHA.

The QUEEN Day: Part I

August 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Before i get to the highlights of Queen Day, here is what has happened in the past week of my life.

Monday, 11/8:

During work today, we kept talking about styling hair and stuff.
Julyen and Suren were damn excited about styling my hair.
So at 3.30pm, i was told to go wet my hair so that it’ll dry in time to be styled at 5pm.
They both accompanied me to the washing area.
Suren holding the shower thing (dunno what it’s called) while Julyen washed my hair. LOL.
hahaha. Julyen was the one styling my hair and it turned out to be quite good.
Suren was damn jealous but Julyen die also dont want do for him. lol.
And then after work,
I went to meet beeeee to pass her stuff.
The first thing i asked her:

me: anything different about me?
her: ehhh.. have meh?
(pause a while)
her: OH! how come u so tall today ah?
me: -_- no… i styled my hair today. julyen styled for me one.
her: oh oh. haha. have meh? no difference leh.
me: really meh?
her: oh. i think i cant see.

HAHA. dont worry beeeee.
my love for u is not measured by how tall u are :D
okay back to the day itself…

She wasn’t feeling very well so it was also to see how she was doing.
I’m quite worried for her, so must see her to put my mind at ease.
lol.
got porridge and 3 ha kaus then sent her home.
After which, i met ju at tiong bahru.
It’s been a long while since i travel to the west side of the island.
So as usual, she was LATE.
but nvm, i’m a nice person so i shall say i’m early. HAHA.
After walking around a bit, we went to thai express for dinner.
Catch up with each other a bit on our lives and stuff.
Then i went to buy a donut from donut factory cos i nvr try before.
I got this white chocolate donut with chocolate filling inside, and yeah, it was not bad i thought.
BUT. i still prefer the brand J.Co.
It just sounds much cooler.
Then it was getting late and i have to work the next day, so i sent her home.
Chatted with auntie for a while and earned myself some dark chocolate from Canada and some keropok from Indonesia. lol.
She’ll be flying back to Canada next monday so this was the last meal i’m gonna have with her in a super long time.
TAKE CARE BEST FRIEND! :)

Tuesday, 12/8:

Went to work as usual,
but suddenly beeeee smsed me telling me that she’s not feeling well.
Running nose, and stuff.
haha. she was like “DONT WASTE UR LEAVE HOR”
i nvr waste what. i took off, instead of leave.
So i went over her house to visit her a while.
Indeed, she was quite sick :(
Then after waking her up from her super short nap, we went to Bedok cos she meeting her mum there.
I was supposedly going home after buying ingredients for the brownie cake i’m gonna make for her tonight (she didn’t know this at all cos its a surprise. fei hua)
haha but somehow i decided to call her and ask her where was she.
In the end, i joined her mum and her for some food at the nearby hawker centre.
Chatted a bit, then went home with them.
Sat in front of tv and watch this super old sg drama on chn 8 with the queen while waiting for the rain to stop.
When i left, she was still feeling damn sick :(
Planning for the QUEEN day:
This commences officially that tue night.
cos i started baking the brownie and tried making some royal icing.
and it turned out that both were rather UNSUCCESSFUL.
It was quite disappointing but i had no choice but to leave it as it is cos there was not much time to re-bake everything again.
paiseh. i have no pictures to post so just read okay?

Wed, 13/8:

There was work, but i was damn happy cos it’s the last day of work for the week! :D
hahaha.
The office today only got 3 people including Suren and me.
Suren is really full of shit, but he’s quite a good guy to have fun and slack around with in office.
oops.
Throughout the day, there were lots of smses coming into my phone because…
the first surprise for the queen is gonna be tonight! :D
However, it was quite sad to hear that her best fren, shilin, has fallen sick all of a sudden in the morning.
So chances for her to carry out our 2nd surprise were rather slim =(

Anyway,
after work, i went home to prepare the stuff for tonight.
I brought them to shilin’s house (she stay near baby, so put the things at her house fang bian for me later)
with a little help from my dad, cos he fetched me :D
haha. and so i met shilin, and she was quite sick sia.
looking sick and everything.
But she still came down and help me get the stuff.
THANKS SHILIN! :)

After putting down the stuff,
i rushed over to bugis.
Got the cake from Four Leaves at Bugis then proceeded to 11 Bali Lane.
The place where baby is having her og dinner. Btw, the name of the place is called Blu Jaz.
Anyway sidetrack abit,
it’s a place that has quite a nice ambience for drinking and mealing too!
they have this very cosy 2nd floor where there are sofas and cushions and everything.
(no pictures to show, sorry)

Then i hung around at the bus-stop a while to wait for the signal to go in.
Fred was a great help to me, so thanks Fred! :D
haha.
After that, i lit the cake and went up the stairs.
If i didn’t remember wrongly, there wasn’t a bday song and that was the only thing that i didn’t plan nice nice in this whole big plan of mine (which lasts for 1 1/2 days :D )
hahaha.
So anyway, i carried the cake in, and then the queen didn’t notice at first, until she turned and i saw her face looking quite stunned.
(she’s still visibly stunned even after the cake was in front of her)

Then when i walked closer, she “AYE” quite audibly cos she realized it’s me.
hahahaha. it was damn funny.


Making a wish

She looked damn surprised and took quite a while to regain her composure.
She was like “aye. wei she me ni zai zhe li” then she started asking who collaborated with me and stuff.
then Fred said “u didnt know meh? i knew him for 9 years liao”
LOL. it was quite funny.
Then after eating the cake, we drank a bit.
Hung around for a while chatting and laughing, then we went home le.

1st surprise: SUCCESS!

By the time i sent her home, shilin was telling me that she couldn’t make it for the surprise that night cos she’s really damn sick.
Under such circumstances, it’s really the thought that counts :D
lol.
After seeing her go into the house, it was time to prepare for surprise no.2 :)

August 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

ZY: hey, li jia wei is the prettiest among them hor? (pointing to the tv screen, them = the ping pong players from china and sg)

me:
of course la. but i still think zhang yining damn cool. my ou xiang.

ZY: she so tomboy la.

(a moment of silence)

ZY:

LOL.

Sadly, Singapore couldn’t beat China in ping pong finals (like duh actually) but at least they still got silver medal.
It’s the first team in olympic history that they organize this team ping pong event, and SG is 2nd leh. zai sia.
haha. zhang yining is really my ou xiang.

oh. and the panda mascots (they call it the FRIENDLIES. LOL) for Beijing 08 are damn cute, especially jingjing :D

So congrats to Team Singapore!

Ignore the lousy lyrics

August 10, 2008 · 1 Comment

I can spend my day with my computer
My computer
My computer

I can spend the day with my computer
My computer
My computer

Look at me, look at me
hands on the fork and spoon cos i am
HUNGRY
and i’m just a bored small boy
even when the outside is pouring like shit
I can show you how to self-entertain
I can show you how to spend your time away
I can roll-over with my dog, kobe
And i can almost squash him to death
I cant tie a knot in a cherry stem
I cant compose lyrics for peanuts
I dont know what I am doing here
But I know what I am doing there
Me and myself saw a Lee Hsien Loong
Me and myself made roti prata
And guess how long it took
I can do anything i want cos, look:

I can lift my weights with no assistance
No assistance
No assistance

I can go to sleep on my comfy bed
My comfy bed
My comfy bed

Look at me, look at me
hands on the fork and spoon cos i am
HUNGRY

On this splendid day
All cooped up with my macbook to play
I cant make money to buy a private jet
I cant make a living jumping out planes
I cant survive after i do that
Miles away from pandas in China
I can make candies appear
I can make kobe do bungee-jumping in Nee Soon Camp
I dont know what to say here
But i can make u continue reading this
Ipods Iphones and my macbook
Me and myself understand this apple thing
I see the redundancy in blogging this post
I cant stop but continue blogging
I can stop blogging now if i fall asleep
I fall asleep
I fall asleep
I can wear my t-shirt inside outside down
Inside outside down
Inside outside down

Look at me
Look at me
Blogging and i won’t stop
And if feels so fun to be
Blogging and be home
My eyes are wide open
My fingers moving
My house is empty
My bed waits for me
I can blog another thousand words
Or let this post be published
Let readers laugh and ridicule me.
Let them come and waste their time here
I can make anybody fly to the sky
Just because I want to help and
I am home alone on a splendid Sunday
I have it all under my control
I am ending with my final words
My final words
My final words
And I can hit the bed in the next minute
In the next minute
In the next minute
And i can end this blog post with a big the end
With a big the end
With a big the end
With a big the end
With a big the end
With a big the end

I can spend the day with my computer
My computer
My computer

I can spend the day with my computer
My computer
My computer

THE END

The Eavesdropping Cabby

August 10, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Since i haven’t blogged in proper for more than a week, i’m quite sure that my fingers are too lazy to do a brief recount of everything.
So i’ll just start with yesterday.

I woke up at 11am++ close to 12pm.
Actually i woke up not cos i figured out that it’s too late already, but cos i want to prove to someone that i’m not some lazy pig and that my PBAC is still intact. haha.
Then ate donuts and porridge for brunch.
After which, it was msn-ing and surfing of net until 3pm plus.
Nothing much happened in the afternoon i must say.
Listening to the melody of the raindrops as they landed on the windows and the ground outside was quite… quite… (can’t seem to find a word) cool i must say.

Then at night we went to our uncle joshua’s house.
I heard that it was Shalom’s Bday but it turned out to be Issac’s bday.
damn malu sia.
reached there liao, i was like “where’s shalom? i want wish him happy bday.”
then their maid never say anything.then when i walked into the room, i saw shalom, he gave me that stunned face.
super hilarious.
I immed. siam siam go look for issac and wish him happy bday.
He’s same age as zy.
I just realized that my mum’s side got 3 guys same age – all 1991 babies.
March, April (zy) and August.

Met jane with her frens.
Chatted with her a while then disappeared to go get food.
Then chatted with jane’s grandpa.
Took pictures.
Eat some more.
Tried knot-tying with about 5 to 6 cherry stalks and failed.
Jane tried to fake me by tying it with her fingers then putting it into her mouth, but her friend’s laughters gave her away. lol.
Then we used uncle joshua’s iMAC to skype with my mom cos she wants to show us her new apartment.
It’s quite nice sia.
It has a gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi and stuff.
it’s like a condo in singapore like that, just that the weekly rent of >400AUD is enough to burn the wallet, not including living expenses.
It seems like my parents are doing fine there, which is a good thing =)
take care mum dad!

and so,
after that, me and zy headed to CGH to visit zhi ming.
Btw, he’s my cousin – the eldest cousin from my dad’s side.
I’m the first to enlist into the army from my dad’s side and .. i fractured my ankle and was on crutches and mc for 5 months.
He’s the second to enlist into the army from my dad’s side and .. he damaged his ligament and is on crutches and mc for __ days/weeks/months.
hahaha.
Damn suey la i would say.
He didn’t complete live range and ippt.
He missed sitest too.
So if he really can’t go back and do all these, he has to taste the tekong air again next time.
and OFF GOES ALL HIS HAIR again.

He looks fine la but i think he’s concerned about his own condition.
The doc also not sure of what is it, that’s why put him into hospitalization.
Then he told me, he upgraded to Class B2 ward. and my first thought was GG.
cos army only covers up to Class C and once u upgrade, u become private patient liao so need to pay own fees.
and he still said that he maybe going for MRI scan which is quite ex too.
yeah, so GET WELL SOON COUS! :D
haha we hung around abit more to talk about army stuff and the olympics.
My uncle is not staying with him throughout the night cos he wants to watch olympics on tv.

Uncle: tomorrow i won’t be coming to visit u in morning, i’ll ask mummy to come. I’ll be coming in afternoon.
Zhi Ming: why. u cannot make it ah?
Uncle: I going to climb bukit timah hill tmr leh.
(silence)
Zhi Ming: (jokingly) what can be more important than ur son? dont go climb la.
Uncle: You okay what, still can walk and talk.
Zhi Ming: (turned to me) and so… (army talk continues)

LOL.
It was 1030pm by the time we left the place.
so we accompanied our uncle to wait for his bus.
After that, me and my bro went to drink some starbucks.
CARAMEL FRAP.
then we took a cab home.
and we met this super friendly cabby sia.

I was discussing with my bro the two people who alighted from the cab before we boarded it.
I saw them running towards the CGH direction while waiting with my uncle for his bus.
Then suddenly they appeared, coming out of this cab which was travelling towards the CGH direction.
So i discussed with my bro.

me: aye u got see that two people just now not?
zy: who? (looking lost)
me: that two la. just now we waiting with da bo at the bus-stop, then got these two people running towards CGH there.
zy: have meh? never notice.
me: there! so obvious. they run (keep gesturing) there then disappear then sudd. they appear in this cab. so funny sia. dont know where they go.
zy: (tries his best to stay interested) [i forgot what he said]

SUDDENLY,
the cabby SPOKE.

cabby: orh. the two of them ah. nono. actually got 3 but one alighted before liao. they asked me to ….

i wasn’t really listening to the explanation but i still “orhh” after that.
hahaha.
my brother and i were looking at each other and laughing sia.
cos i thought i spoke quite softly. LOL.
which is a bad habit of mine cos times that i usually thought i was speaking softly, actually i was speaking damn loudly all the while.
not loudly la to be exact. it’s just audible to most people lor. lol.

There were silence after that.
After a while..

zy: aye how come got the 30 cents surcharge ah.
me: oh. that one last time have liao. its due to the diesel dont know what la so got another 30 cents.
zy: orh. really ah.
me: there (pointing to window) should have a notice ma. that time i see before.
both of us: (looked around the whole cab but also dont have)
me: oh i think they take away liao. but its just some diesel shit.
zy: oh like that.

(pause a while)

zy: then taxi how the meter count one ah. u travel fast or slow, the meter jump the same ah?

at this moment, me and my bro were discussing about whether a cab’s speed will affect the fare that it charges.
And whether if the cab is stationary, will it earn more and stuff like that.
and here comes the EC (EC = Eavesdropping Cabby)

EC: Actually, the car’s speed does not affect how much u can earn.
zy: my frens got say before that if cab drive slow slow, can earn more.
EC: not true. cos u see ah. for example .. (then he gave figures and stuff)

it’s quite alot of elaboration and i also too sian to post everything here.
But the bottom line is, for cabs right.
there’s no point for them to drive slow slow. Instead, they would want to drive fast and send their passengers to their destinations quickly so that they can always pick up another one.
Say, for example, there’s this stretch of 5km road.
No matter whether the cab is travelling at 60 km/h or 90 km/h, they will charge the same, ceteris paribus.
And if a cab is stuck in a jam, compared to when it is travelling smoothly, it’ll actually earn more by travelling smoothly.

SO, the moral of the story?
it is: dont think that cabbies are always there to try and rip us off by driving slowly or purposely go get stuck in jam or purposely drive slow slow so wun beat traffic lights or what. they are just doing us a favour to send us to wherever we want to go in the shortest time possible. we happy, they happy.

EC then started to tell us about stuff, mainly cos zy prompted him.

zy: so do night shift good anot? better right?
EC: depends la. drive taxi now is very much about luck.
EC: sometimes unlucky, then will meet bad passengers lor.
zy: ya lor. there has been quite alot of thefts in cabs recently (i KNOW NOTHING about this. is it true?)
EC: ya. uncle got robbed 9 times already.
zy and me: WOW. how come so suey.
me: wah then like that how.
EC: lucky they nice la. nvr pay money then run out of cab one. some of the cabbies i know kena stabbed and held at knife-point one.
EC: how ah? just let it be lor. u bring them go police station. the police will only ask u, “so what u want us to do? (we no money also)”
[at this point, i feel like saying, "LL lor. what to do. suck thumb." LL=lan lan]
EC: but hor. actually i quite lucky also. every of these 9 times, after i kena cheated of cab fares, i got more business for the rest of the day, so i dont mind meeting these kind of people again.

LOL right?
hahaha he damn funny.
u should have heard the way he said it.

Anyway, then we asked him about whether he see those stuff before.
u know, those stuff u see in the 7th lunar month.

EC: no luck leh. bo bian. i purposely drive past cemeteries and stuff at night, but still cannot see.
EC: then got once, my frens say they saw this old lady sitting at the parapet every night at Joo Chiat Lorong H (i think. cannot remember clearly) so i that day dropped someone nearby then decide to go see see. i drove past there a couple of times, SLOWLY, but still cannot see. no luck lor.
EC: actually these kind of things no need scared one. if i see one, i will want to chit chat with it. cos it’s like normal pple cannot see but u can see, so its a special thing leh.. (blah blah)

then he started talking about his army stuff.
he said he purposely go do stuff that pple say will allow them to see things, but in the end, no luck too.
things like:
he go sleep under banana tree at outfield.
he go bury bayonet in the ground. (cos it supposedly does sth)

haha.
after we alighted at our house, me and my bro came out of the cab, looking at each other and started to laugh.

THE END

oh and before i go away to enjoy the rhythm of the falling rain, (it’s raining outside now btw)

happy 3rd month beeeee! :)

Coming Your Way

still waiting for something to appear at this space? :D
haha. trust me, continue waiting and your patience will be rewarded,

and besides, patience’s a virtue so it’s good to start cultivating it :)

Sometimes, I can’t help but feel that happiness is a emotion that can be best conveyed even without uttering a single word,
or carrying out a simple action.

A happy person will naturally exude the euphoria in him.

And sad to say, the inverse of this statement is also true.
