I almost forgot to blog what happned today. Was struggling with my xposures page. Decided to call it for a day. I need my anime. Yes, back to what I was supposed to blog today.
Went borders after work today & finally got Skin Game. Borders sells more books than kino I realised. Or rather, a different range of books. Books I've never seen in kino appeared in front of me like weeds. LOL! Budden again, kino's from Japan. The english books carried will of course be lesser the Borders. Why am I doing an analysis on Borders & Kino? Never mind. Moving on. Went to perlinis silver as well. Managed to SQUEEZE my way through the mad crowd. (Ah yes ladies, perlinis sale is till 7th March so grab 'em before the good stuffs run out) And, I bought a ring! Teehee~ It looks hell alot like the one from Tiffany&Co. Muahahahahahaha! I'm so happy! Shalalalalalala~ Will post the pix later if I'm not tired. Next, I went to Bodyshop & got my tea-tree oil facial wash & this REALLY amazing tea-tree oil T-zone mask. It's a tube with really thick solution inside & it'll dry up when I apply onto my T-zone. Here comes the fun part. I get to peel it off! It's like peeling the membrane off hard-boiled eggs! Hahahha...wooohoooo! FUN! Ok. Cheap thrills. Anyway, The Bodyshop's having 20% storewide sale as well but it's ending on 29th March. I only knew it today as well. So, sorry!
The Ring!
The Mask!
I just realised. The two things are bought are movie names. LOL!
Yes. It was a meeting-people day as well. As I was going down the escalator from Kino, I heard my name being called out. I didn't respond until I heard my name for the 3rd time. It was Joel! This scoobs didn't change AT ALL! Not even a single bit. Hahahahaha...He asked if I wanna go meet Farand as well but nah~ I gave it a miss. I'm hungry & I want food. So, took the MRT home. As I reached home, I heard my name AGAIN. It's Mr. Powerful Media Practitioner, Richmond Loo Chuan Long, my jokes-dispenser =D (Yes yes. The guy that acted in Moulmien High & a few random channel 5 shows) He's another one that didn't change a single bit. Maybe NS should be tougher? =x Train boys into MEN! Hahahhaa...Okay guys, I'm sorry =P I simply can't believe I met so many people these days. Yesterday was Nat's gf den today I saw rich's ex-gf as well & on the same day, Joel & Rich. Maybe it's time I invest in some good 4D lottery. Hiaks! Let's see...what number should I buy? On the 28th feb, I met 3 friends. 2803? LOL! Eh, if you win, must share hoh! =P
Enough of lame stuffs. Bitching session starts now! After feeling so disbelief-ed, I went to the food court to have my late lunch. I sat down & started to "stir" my yong tau fu. Then, the kopi-uncle shouted: "XIAO MEI AH! XIAO MEI! XIAO MEI!" I was wondering, kaoz are all kopi-uncle & aunites so loud & crude? Then, I heard it again, "XIAO MEI!" Then I looked up, HE WAS CALLING ME! Goodness...so fucking embarassed. He shouted again: "YAO BU YAO HE SUI?" (Yes. He said sui not shui) Feeling damn embarassed coz everyone was looking at me, I quickly said: "Bu yao xie xie!" Arghhh!!! Must he SHOUT so loudly? You must be wondering why didn't I order any beverage, coz I wanna buy fruit juice from the fruit stall next to the foodcourt. (Ok that's a bad attempt to transit to the next story)
This was the WORST communication breakdown I ever had. I wanted to buy a cup of watermelon juice & then buy a melon & papaya home to eat. So I told the stall assistant in Mandarin, (A very young kid. Prolly just secondary 1 or 2. Max 3) 1 cup of watermelon juice & 1 melon & 1 papaya. He look as thought he understood what I said so I just stood there & waited for my order. Then, he gave me a very puzzled look.
Boy: You need 3 fruits to make juice
Me: Nono! I want watermelon juice 1 cup. Then the melon & papaya.
Boy: Orhhh!!!! Okok...
Then, he walked into the stall & pass her mum the fruits. Then, I saw his mum slicing the papaya & melon. I knew he didn't understand what I said. He came & asked me again
Boy: You want to take 1 more fruit? Then can extract juice.
Me: Oh nonononoonnono! I mean I want 1 cup of watermelon juice. Then the papaya & melon seperate. I want to eat it. Not extract the juice.
Finally, they understood. *slaps forehead* It was not the 1st time I buy fruits/juice from that stall & most of the time, my order is similar. I just dunno what happened there. Tsk.
