Sneaky mother

I have a funny story to tell, at least i think it's funny. As usual, it's about my mother.

One fine night, 12am (Yes, I know shouldn't be wide awake at this hour), my mother, my father and me were watching TV. Nothing much on TV. My mum said," Why that youyi so late haven't come back."

Youyi is my brother.

Just when she said that, we heard some noise of keys tinkling outside our door. Must be Youyi coming back.

After some time, the door did not open and we continue to hear noises from outside.

M: what is taking him so long to come in?

My father walked over to the door and opened it. There youyi is, bending over the shoe rack. I shouted over," Why are you taking so long to come in?!"

He mumbled something and went up to his room.

When he was gone, my father said," I saw him hiding something at our shoe rack or outside."

My mother being the curious and over suspicious one said," I go check what he hide"

Me: " Yeah... got action already! I go take photos for my blog."

So my mother crept quietly to the door and unlock the door with minimal noise.

Sneaky mother crepting out of the door.

She ransacked the shoe rack. hmmm... nothing here....

Then she check out the small storeroom where the electricity and water meter is. erm.. nothing here also. Finally she is convinced that youyi is actually not hiding anything outside.

This is the crime scene.

Tsk tsk... my mother over suspicious liao.

BBQ Session

Well, somebody is pushing me to quickly post this event. So yah I am going to start writing but I might not be able to finish it today. Just write abit first.

On this faithful Saturday afternoon, I received an SMS.

miko want to go BBQ at East coast tonight?' ( Yah I know the original SMS is not like this but the main idea is there ok?)

home.... I was wondering why last minute then call me.. Anyway, i said ok.

After our opera practice, Richard drove us to supposedly East Coast. I was sitting in between YH and Richard. They as usual must find something to argue about.

Richard: Got bring radio?

YH: No...

Me: Bring radio for what?

Richard: BBQ must have radio mah.. listen to music, make noise, like very havoc. ( Richard didn't say 'havoc' but he said something like that.)

YH: Aiyah don't need la. Nowadays people don't bring radio to East Coast.

Richard: What no need?! Like that don't have the ambiance leh. You see East Coast, everyone got bring radio one!

Me: So fan to bring radio.

Richard: You all don't know how to organize one leh.

YH: Aiyoh, invite you to BBQ you still so fussy!

Richard: If I organize I surely bring radio..

(I thought that was very funny lor. Radio is like in the 70s, those punk carry the big big radio on their shoulders. Suddenly I realized we are at Pasir Ris.)

Me: I thought we are going to East Coast?

Richard: Aiyah no radio go Pasir Ris la.

YH: You sick ah? How come no radio cannot go East Coast?

Richard: Go East Coast without radio very no face. Later ppl walk pass my table I must go hide. Pasir Ris quieter, seldom ppl bring radio.

YH: What kind of logic is that?! East Coast more convenient mah, nearer to my home. Last time take cab from there only $7+.

Richard: Aiyoh, you never see the directory before ah? Pasir Ris is nearer to your house ok. Pasir Ris go down abit is already Punggol, then go down abit more is SengKang already.

YH: Where got? East Coast should be nearer.

Richard: Pasir Ris.

YH: What ever la, find a place near to the toilets.

Richard: Very troublesome leh you. I cannot believe we don't have radio.

(my god.. Back to the radio topic.)

**********************

Happily we started the fire and then... KABOOM!!!... There was a big fire burning on the charcoal. The fire was so big that it attracted attention from the other people. Richard tried fanning it to make it smaller but the fire just burned on and on.. I was happily watching then chaos from afar. hahaha...

Finally after some time, the fire got smaller and we started bbqing the chicken wings and hotdogs. Richard did the bbqing as usual but he complained that there were no prawns. Richard is eccentric, I don't know but sometimes his thinking is different and he is very stubborn. Even if he is wrong, he will insist he is right. Normally I can't be bothered.

The chicken wings took a long time cook, so we just did our normal gossiping.

Me: (to May) How is everything in AX? Who is teaching now?

Richard: You cannot say this kind of things to each other!

Me: Why not?

Richard: These things are confidential mah, we cannot talk about each other's troupe.

In my opinion, this is utter rubbish lor. Who the hell cares if I ask about other troupe's affair? The person I am asking can choose to answer or ignore me right.

May: fine lor, now Ah ni help us to rehearse our show.

Richard shot us a dirty look.

I don't care so much, just go somewhere else to eat.

While eating, I heard Richard complaining that they should buy stingray and not those normal fish cuz the fish has a lot of bones. Then he ask.. Got sweet potatoes?

haiz...

***************************

After eating a bit, I decided to go around taking photos with my trusty D500C. A friend commented that the photos I took with D500C is not clear enough.. blah blah.. But who cares, as long as you get the idea of what's going on.

First, I snapped a photo of Richard. The famous one.


Richard, stop complaining!

The chicken wings are marinated by May. Suddenly Richard realized that there is only the middle part of the chicken wing. So he asked May where are the rest. May said something like her dog ate them but actually she purposely bought only the middle section.

This is May, as you can see, she is avoiding my camera. She is too shy.. (yeah right!) and she refuse to appear on my blog! looky, she is wearing her favorite pink colour top. (yah there is a typo, not 'you' should be 'your' but I am lazy to go edit the photo and upload again so just shut up ok?)

I wanted to take photo of YH also but she refused. I told her I can always mosaic her face or put a black rectangle over her eyes so she will look like some criminal but she still rejected my idea. So shy for wat?! My god..

Here is my mum and sis, my mum is really doing the the BBQ, but my sis is just pretending to BBQ for the sake of taking this pic. -_-" She is actually a pig cuz she ate the most that night.

After taking these few pics, Tian and Qiuyue finally arrived, 9:45+pm. We have already done all the BBQ so all of us just sat down at one table to talk and eat. Then this Ah May decide to talk about my blog. Now the whole gang knows that I am actually spilling out the secrets in my blog. What will Richard the sensitive one think?

Anyway, May was animatedly telling the rest what rubbish I wrote in my blog, according to her, the most rubbish one was 'My Blind Camera'. Rubbish meh? Quite interesting what. Chey...

She told me she read all the entries already and the way she tell the others, I almost felt that I have known her all my lifetime! She knows better than my best friend! That's good anyway, all my friends somehow knows each other thru my blog. My polymates mentioned about Richard (muahaha.. funny sia) and May mentioned my polymates.

YH, who has been listening intently, suddenly announced that she wants to write a blog too. She got the web link from me but I wonder if she has started already. Someone comment that YH will give up within 3 days~

After that, everyone start telling me what to write in my blog. So I constantly hear this..:

'remember to write this in your blog.'

'this one must write in your blog hor.'

'faster take picture of this and write in your blog.'

Richard wanted me to take a photo of this :

What's so special about this? You may ask. Nothing actually, just that 2 different kinds of cups suddenly appeared on our table baffled Mr Richard. He wants to know why the hell there are 2 different cups here. The question was never answered.

Richard want to comment that YH is lousy cuz she did not smash her eyes.. oops .. ice properly so that it fit s nicely in the cup and not like one whole lump balancing on the cup. However, YE did not care so much about that.

Richard insist that I take a photo of his nicely smashed ice which fitted totally snugly in his cup. Well yeah.. abit boliao right.

We gossiped about a few things in the BBQ but I can't write it here, who knows who might see this and this innocent little blog will evolve into something evil.

After gossiping, we headed home. My father came to fetch us and before getting into the car, we saw an old neighbour, who was a year younger than me and we used to study in the same primary school. This old neighbour was named, Ah Boy. Ah Boy introduced his wife to us and my mother was like.. *gasped* 'You are married?!'

Then my mum mumbled all the way home about how she envy other children......

Hello Kitty fair~

I can't believe it myself too that I actually went to a Hello Kitty Exhibition today. Hello Kitty isn't really my favourite cartoon character. I prefer southpark. I used to tell my friend that i don't like Hello Kitty because it has a flat face. The only thing i like about hello kitty is the pink colour.

Anyway, i was convinced to go to this exhibition as it is at the Singapore History Musuem. I thought that i can see other interesting things as well.

Oh yah, our dear musuem has moved to Riverside point and i didn't know it. So my friend, michelle, and me walked around the whole of Clarke Quay trying to find the musuem. It was so sweltering hot.. and i got alot of sun tan today!!! -_-

The hello kitty exhibition was just a display of hello kitty stuff on some shelves with some act cute songs playing in the background. My friend hysterically took photos of all the things on display.


Yeah.... me with the giant Hello Kitty behind. I try to act cute ok. Then i saw this very familiar sight, street opera stage!




yippeee... i cant control myself so i took some photos with this fake opera stage.


Anyone want to eat satay? like real right.


Then i saw this fake boat.~ Row row row a boat.. la la la la...~


Just look at this miniature coolie quaters! Looks like real right? It looks quite realistic to me. Remind me of my Barbie doll house.
Then i finally saw it.


I freakin hate the japanese! I don't know why but i just hate the japanese though I still love sushi. However, very unfortunately, I got a japanese name. Is that a coincidence or what?


~San lun che... pao de kuai... shang mian zuo ge lao tai tai....~ I am lao tai tai here.


I love artifacts and my favourites are the one from china and my dream is to put a life size terra cotta warrior in my room... how cool is that???

Finally at the end of this entry, i will show you guys the friend who suggested to see Hello Kitty....



*****End of boring entry. no mood to write leh*****

Snake in the Nose

Strange title yes? Hahah.... A few days ago, i was watching a documentry about those indian saints. There is this saint who claimed that he got special powers and his nostrils are bigger than normal human's. So the intrigued doctors examined his nose and realised that his nostrils are indeed bigger.

So this saint decide to perform a trick right in the hospital. He took out a small cobra and push it inside one of his nostrils. Slowly he pushed and slowly the head of the cobra emerged from the throat and the indian man pulled out the whole snake from his mouth.

My mother and me were fascinated. My mum thought it was disgusting. Anyway, we decide to do this trick on our own too. So my mum took the rubber snake which she constantly used to scare my sister with and did this...


...

..


...

..
..

SCARY OR NOT?!

looks like real right. She actually just hold the snake beside her nose. heh...

I FUCKING HATE THIS WORLD!!!

OBMC!

Ok.. the Opera Basic Movement Class, known as OBMC, is confirmed to be starting tomorrow at Joo Chiat CC 8pm. Please, I urge those who are interested to inform me as we are desperately trying to find students.

It is so difficult to find people interested. They are not interested even tto watch, much less to learn. Anyway, i just want to do some advertisement here in case some individuals happens to pass my my blog and that particular individual love chinese opera. Yeh.. i know it's a slim 0.00001%.

Right now the fee is $95 for 9 lessons. Odd number.. hmmm....

Mid Autumn Festival

Chang E: Don't stop me, I am going to the moon!

Hou Yi: Nooo... Don't do it!

And so Chang E landed on the moon. Stuck there forever and lonely forever. Fortunately, she brought along a bunny to kill her boredom.

Chang E: Bunny Bunny of the moon, tell me who is the fairest of them all!

Bunny: It's you Chang E cuz you are the only one here but soon Mr Neil Armstrong will arrive on this peaceful moon and announce that he is the first man on the Moon.

Chang E: Holy ****! How dare he claim the be the first on the moon. I am the first ok and you, Mr bunny, is the second.

*************************************

On this wonderful occasion, I asked a few polymates out. I remembered that we used to meet up to eat mooncakes together on this festival. Unfortunately, a few friends were unable to make it, so there were only 4 of us.

Locky brought mooncakes, Amway mooncakes don't play play, James brought pomelos and i only brought my camera. Hehe can't be helped as I was at PJ's ROM earlier on. William brought nothing too. He was late.

We were at a certain park in Ang Mo Kio. From left is me, James, Locky and William. As you see we made a mess on the table but we scraped off the candle wax and cleared the rubbish after the event.

I know the photo is abit small. Hee hee.. want to see close up shots of these 3 yandaos right.

Howdy~

James, William and Locky.

They claimed that they are single and available now so any girls interested to know them can drop me a line or email me.. hee hee..

James once sent me a sms to tell me that i did not mention him in my blog. So here goes.....

James James James James
James James James James
James James James James

There you go.. I think i mention your name more than the others in this entry already.

Lock is talking animatedly with William about his millionaire dream while James is poking his arm. -_-? See the bunch of white stuff? That is not cabbage. It is a bunch of Pomelo skins. James suddenly got this idea of squirting the juice at us by pressing the flesh of the pomelo. Fortunately, Lock and me pretended to be uninterested so he drop the idea.

James is trying something new again. He is burning a piece of the pomelo skin. He wonder if pomelo skin catches fire too. His experiment proves that POMELO SKIN CANNOT CATCH FIRE.

I should have brought marshmallows, then i can bbq them with the candles... awww.. so nice.

Look! Lock is promoting his Amway mooncakes! Everyone listen up. Amway sells mooncakes and they are not bad... going at only.... $22 dollars! Order now and we will throw in a free pomelo! Call within the next 10 minutes we will throw in not 1 but 2 packs of candles. Now that is a good deal! (hahaha..)

Lock should give me some advertisement fee..

This is James creation. How can you vandalise the table? Tsk tsk.....

He is trying to draw xiaoxin with the candle wax. Not bad... i must say, though it is still vandalism.

Anyway we scrapped off all the candle wax before we left. The table was as good as new! Unlike another table next to us. Some moronic kids left a thick layer of wax on the table, poor auntie who got to scrap that table.....

Mr and Mrs Toh (1)

I can now officially announce that Peijia and Francis are now Mr and Mrs Toh.

*throws confetti*

Happy bo? :D

I can't believe it at first. We grew up together, known each other since forever and remain as very good friends for the past 16 years or so and now she is suddenly married! From now on she is no longer Miss Lim. She is now officially a kopi seller.. heh.. kidding.

I arrive quite early at PJ's house but unfortunately, she is not at home. She is still at the bridal shop doing her make up. After 10 minutes, she came back and wow.. she look different yo. Miss Pretty... erm.. or Mrs Pretty. :D

Ok.. Now i shall show u guys Mrs Pretty....

Yeah.. Ta dah! nice or not? nice right. I didn't photoshop her photos alot. Just added a bit of contrast and brightness and changing the background. I am sure PJ will tell me,"Miko! The photo very ugly! Take it off the net leh!"

Relax! It is nice! Trust me.. :D

So after taking the above picture, we set off to the grassroots club at Yio Chu Kang for her Solemnisation (dunno how to spell). Yah yah.. you must be thinking why it is not at the ROM right. Cuz it's a Sunday and ROM is not open! So they invited the Solemniser to the restaurant at Grassroots instead.

Joke: Her husband kept thinking it is Grasshoppers Club. Hahaha.....

Finally we arrived at the restaurant. I remembered that the last time i came here was to attend the first full month celebration of Pan Ling Ling's son. That was like... 4 years ago. Haven't seen them much since that day.

There was another couple was having their wedding lunch at the restaurant. So weird, not wedding dinner but wedding lunch. Anyway, when we walked in, everyone looked at us and gasped. It's the bride! hee hee... They are mistaken, we just walked coolly into a room which PJ booked.

The first thing i saw in the room was this :

This is Mr Teo, the womaniser....sorry wrong spelling... er.. solemniser. He is adjusting the certs and the forms . Suddenly i noticed something. Please look hard into the above picture. I noticed something very strange. Know what?

At first glance, i thought it is a cup of wine, beer etc. However, i noticed that there is steam coming off the liquid surface! It's a boiling wine? Nah, it's a cup of chinese tea. I told PJ about it. She laughed and say i notice boliao things. I told her if it is tea, why not put it in those traditional white tea cups we always use in chinese restaurant. Why put it in a wine glass?? hee hee.. funny.

Oh yah.. on the table you can see PJ's IC. :D

ok ok.. now back to the serious topic. Now we will see PJ and her hubby seated in front of the solemniser looking all serious. Here it is:

Everything is ready, the rings, the flowers, the cert, the pens, the stamp ( i dunno what stamp is that) and the relatives and friends. Peijia looked solemn.

*sings* ~This old man... he play one....~

Nope.. he is not singing. He is giving the couple some instructions.

This is the classic part. The solemniser reads the thingy which says something like,"Do you take Francis Toh as your lawfull husband forever loving him.. blah blah blah..."

Suddenly PJ looked dazed. She realised where she was and what she was doing. She said,"Nooooo......"

All the relatives gasped and PJ picked up her skirt and ran away. I ran after her to get her back to the room.

So here she is, reading the vow. (Kidding.. The above did not happen, i just hallucinated it.)

*sing* ~I love you... Yes i do... Yi zhi zai zhe li baby.... Yi zhi zai ai ni...~

No.. She is not singing.. that was me singing. She just read the vow which says something like,"Iwill put on the ring for you and get married with you." I think for this part, she should memorise the few lines, so that she can look into her husband's eyes with those loving looking eyes. then she will say,"Iwill put on the ring for you and get married with you." Oooh.. that will look more dramatic and romantic than reading it from a piece of paper.

Finally they put on the rings~ Notice that the relatives behhind looked nervous, afraid that PJ will run away again.

After the couuple exchanged rings, PJ smiled happily~ and look! The relatives behind are smiling happily too!

Signing the papers. Everyone was chanting "Sign, sign, sign....."* hee hee..

Argghhh... i can't upload anymore photos!

(to be continued...)

Mr and Mrs Toh (2)

(Continue from Mr and Mrs Toh 1)

After the couple signed the cert, the old man signed too:

The ceremony officially ends here after the old man, and the wittnesses signed the papers. Mr Teo then present the cert to Mr and Mrs Toh.

Ok... now for the photo shooting session, i took quite a number of photos but i will just load a few here. :)

Then we had lunch together in this restaurant:

Yeah... finally after the solemnisation, we can have a hearty lunch! Then i noticed something on my table:

I had tea in wine glass too! Hahaha..... Ok... The lunch was fine. In fact i think it was quite good. Fussy PJ said it was ok.

Finally the last photo of this 2 very long blog entries :

Aaaahhh.. Flowers and ring. You see?

Congrats PJ!

After PJ's ROM, i went to meet my ex polymates to eat mooncakes. Well, that will be another blog entry. :D

* Please note that some parts of the entries are totally fiction. Thank you!

Dinner Cancelled

Oh great... dinner appointment today was cancelled last minute. Once again.. I am really pissed off with all these last minute cancellation.

Kill me..
