A funny video that is scoring huge hits and gaining my hometown 'fame'.
Yep showing many aspects of the Muar lifestyle I've led in the past.
"Ma bo de hua yu,
wo gan dao shi beh hua hi,
li bei song,
wo jiu hor li kua wa zhong kin zi gi"
Nice chorus. Haha
Many elements are familiar to me when I've watched this video.
1) Wetex the only decent shopping centre to go to, to buy pirated dvds
2) Tanjung - go there to watch the monkey and watch pple feed monkey... lao gao
3) Early morning eat shiu mai, not HK style ones, but the coarser Hokkein style ones... sho bi
4) Tanjung early morning, got old pple do the Tai Chi Qi Gong 18 styles. Last time when I was very young, it was very very 'in'. Early in the morning, the radio will play... "Hu... Xi.... Hu.... Xi..." (breathe in, breathe out)
5) The travesites - the fond memory where my aunt drove us around at nite to try to catch a glimpse. Only saw one kinda wrapped up one. Then the story of them hanging around their petrol station pumps after closing hrs.
6) Muar known for the furniture biz and its mainly done by Chinese.
7) Yar and the chinese and malays dun really live in racial harmony. Do call each other names though I dun know what those malay words mean.

A weekend too short...
It was a fun weekend, at least for me.
Strange stuff
Strange things keep happening to my memory or brain function. I keep hearing one thing, yet think it is something else. All these happened in the past 2 weeks.
Eg 1
My sister was lamenting, "Why nobody eats the jelly made by Mom? Its so nice"
In my ears, I heard it as that.
In my brains, I thought of it as
"Why nobody eats the jam made by Mom? Its so nice" Well of course, pple eat jam in the morning, now's afternoon, of cos nobody eat.
Think I answered her, but then realized the mistake. Duh selective distortion.
Eg 2
I was writing KaiGi (meeting) in jap, thinking I wrote it as that, it turned out I wrote KaGi (key)
Hmm memory really not working or I am doing selective distortion of information... it ends up with funny results though. Better try to sleep more. Maybe its the less than 6hr of sleep daily.
Eg 3(just happened yesterday)
I hopped on the bus with a collegue heading in the same direction. She got down, I was SUPPOSED to get down one stop after her to transfer to another bus. I was half remembering the pool game me and my sisters played, half thinking of heading to buy toto on my way home, half thinking of sleeping, half stoning. I had naturally assumed that I was on the bus home.
Suddenly I saw the street sign, BKE highway, jolted me back. Eh since when does that bus head onto the BKE unless its heading down town. I thought I was on the way home, it should pass by Bukit Timah instead... Wait a minute, I didnt get off the bus! I am heading down town! Argh!
So the story continues in the next section about doing stuff.
Did some stuff that we all used to do
Well the story ended off with the heroine speeding down to Orchard unintentionally. She couldnt alight cos it was too late, hence town it was.
Smsed Tab and asked her along.
While waiting, went to Lucky Plaza basement to buy toto. 1 task down.
Went back to Far East then waited. Tab arrived and we headed to Kuai Le Wo to eat hotdog, drink Kung Fu tea, our main meal. I was nursing gastric pain by then. It was near 4.30pm then? I was munching something around 4pm. Ate my first meal at 8.30am.
Then we headed to Gelara, to eat Waffles and Ice-cream. We tried to count and recall the last time we ate the 1/2 priced waffles. It seems like dam long ago. The time can actually be counted in years! Tat time when Tab was still in tuition, >2yrs.
I was telling her about the Pool games with my sisters. Its so long since I've last played. Remembered the last time was my birthday with the gang, and it was after graducation. We headed down somewhere in town to play.
Anyway I was out with my 2 sisters on sunday. We ate Pizzahut, then walked around. Then we went to an arcade and played the $2 pool there. Played 2 games each, round robin style. I beat the youngest sister, first sister beat youngest sister, finally we faced off. I lost, haha.
Was telling Tab about it, then she remarked, It has ALSO been years since we all last played pool.
We walked around, doing the usual. She shop, I look and ask. There is a nice Shark bag tat cost $65. Its not that big but is a backpack style. Argh will have to carry it with me everyday for 2 mths.
When we reached Isetan, had to seriously drag Tab from the bag and wallet and shoe section. I mean physically pull, poke, tug, push from the back. Her taste... totemo takai ne (expensive neh)
Saw a nice hat that actually fitted me nicely, those Oliver-twist cap, only prob is it cost $70 bucks! I will have to wear it everyday for 2mths and walk everywhere with it. Then pple might think I am covering a balding spot or wat. Well I took 2 photos, using my phone, will slowly look for a similar one bah...
It was a nice Tuesday, waffles and walking around. Feels like a weekend, minus the crowd. Only if didnt have to wake up early the next day.

I am a wonton?
This happened last friday bah when Tab, Candle and FH plus moi went to Pitstop, something like settlers' cafe, for some games after dinner.
First we tried Taboo but it was too lingustically-challenging for Candle, and I was too mentally-challenged after a dam long day of work. Hence our pair werent really doing well.
Then we switched games to Imaginary (not sure of the name, too stoned to notice. Was intially very stoned, but after Taboo, even more stoned) Its a stereotyping game. A person is chosen, a question is asked abt the person with 6 possible answers. The answer with most pple choosing it is the right one. Hence the term 'stereotyping'. Eg If Hellbound was a colour, which would Hellbound be?
1) Red
2) Blue
3) Green
4) Yellow
5) Black
6) White
Needless to say, think most whom know me would have chosen (3) even though I, myself may choose (5).
Well one qn was the type of soup I would be. The steoreotyped answer was "wonton". Huh? Why am I a wonton? I had chosen clam chowder cos I eat that. Candle's reason was I was most cheena amongst them. Havent heard from Tab or FH yet about that reason. One thing I learnt is that the stereotype of me is kinda clear-cut. Hmm sad pple can read me like an open book... I have layers you know (lifted from Shrek)
