Remember i said there's this guy from movie 91A who always takes up the seat beside me? He's back, for two day already. I really don't mind him sitting beside me. But the thing is, he doesn't do that, 'sit' that is. All he does is carry his 100kg bag and plop his a** with a vengeance onto the seat beside me, and effectively making me bounce up and hit my head on the roof of the bus. Did the seat scold him or something?



I almost watched Finding Neverland yesterday. Was at Bishan waiting for the show to start, but it was starting at 2150. I was dead tired by 2120 and decided to go home. Took a bus home at 2130, stepped into the house at 2150. Funnily, however tired i am, i always only manage to sleep at 0000.



Watched some bits of Get Rea! on the bus just now. Topic was on foreigners migrating to singapore and starting careers and lives here. I always had this mindset that the ang mos are coming here to steal our women. But then, it may well be us locals being incompetent in keeping the women. But that is beside the point. Somehow, i feel for these guys who came to a foreign land, pick up strange culture, and had to find jobs like the rest of us. He may be ang mo, but he's just another guy who needs to too. Oh well...



At the closing of Get Rea!, Diana Ser asked each ang mo their favourtie singapore phrase. Besides "No lah" and "Ok loh" topping the charts, there was one peculiar phrase that caught my attention. "Let's make a move." Apparently, only singaporeans love saying that. What we should really be saying is, "Let's leave" or "Let's go" etc etc, but it seems under SG context, if you're not groovy, you're angry. Um... you might ask when do the ang mos make a move then? Well... lets just say that question is a little too adult themed for my little blog.



, pronounced as Wan Fan Sek in canto. It's a very versatile phrase. My mom was talking to my father the other day about pick pockets. Think my father was saying that if the pick pocket tries to pick your pocket, you'll feel it. And my mom retorted, if the pick pocket let's you feel it, then how he ? Aside from the fact that the source of income was from looting, it did sound like a normal daily kind of job.



There's this spider which has spin a web at the 3-pin connector of my PC in the office. I hadn't bothered to start an episode of Happy Tree Friends with it, but it had started renovating its home and was making it bigger. I guess showing it mercy is misleading it, so i gave it my ultimatum, "Leave or die... to the vacuum cleaner." I'll give the spider until after Chinese New Year to pack up. Oh... i'm talking to spiders now...

  1. I thought "pickpocket" is the person who does the picking and "pick pocket" is the action of picking the pocket?

    Anw, you are an adult and so is most people who I think reads your blog :Þ
