I saw this.




So Barney and his little gf wants to go to the fire station.
Let me teach you a thing or 2 Barney.
Let me show you some things that have never crossed your purple dino mind in your i-love-u-u-love-me-we-are-happy-family world

A firestation.....





... can also catch fire.
otherwise why the fireman so sian

Not only that...




A Policeman also can get Jailed
you think they do all the catching?

Now out of the jail and into the streets





You dont go and believe Bob the builder la
His tow truck also can gena towed one la


Shocked?
You probably can think about how your fish died
You thought it died because it was old...
thats what you mummy said...
Ive been keeping it's death cert for some time... I think its time i should show it to you







Sigh... we tried to save it my dear
it could not make it to the buoy.. and drowned


So you are frightened eh? Now that is fear, something new to you.
Fear... and you think you know all about fear


What makes you think Birdie is happily flying in the sky
Like anyone else, it has a fear of heights

and on the ground

While the cactus can take thirst
it can fear the heat.
so sit and sing in your air con room and feel good

and when night time comes
and when you are listening to the lullaby

remember someone out there is afraid of the dark like many of us are, but forced to be a bat

You never knew, did you?

So many things in this world are fake, dear.

OH DEAR....

Look what I have done to you .... Barney

CNY

Making up for not blogging
(im still alive)

CNY (Chu san and si)

3rd day...

Some of the invited few at work went to ah ma's house to bai nian. she is soooo host-ly. machiam hosting a whole pack of hungry wolves, she kept going in and out of the kitchen to bring us food food and more food

So unlike her fierce self at work... wooops!

we took some pics but Dan kept irritating us

Aiyoh so colourful rite

I love my gals so much. For V day we bought each other stuff.

Romantic

I got Laoshu a naraya pouch cos she likes it, and had to top up with a necklace chosen by Dan cos Pigu's prez was so much more expensive than a $5 naraya pouch. anyway, Laoshu claims to be Danh's fav concubine so its only right that he chooses something for her. (wats wrong with me). Pigu got a braun buffel card holder wallet from me...

and i got from Laoz an eyelash heating curler and from Pigu an eye cream

And pigu got laoshu a concealer and Laoshu got pigu ermmmm... i forgot

by the way , u could tell, all the presents were "demanded" ahahah

i wanted to curl my lashes cos they are awfully dull and i just purchased Dior Show mascara. anyway i want to curb signs of aging now that im so old. so i asked for eye cream.

recently have been splurging so much at fancl, i use their pretty paper bags as gift bags man. I have like so many of them

and i have $10+ credit there liao. once i hit $60 im going to get tense-up ex cos i really dont want wrinkles

Dont you worry about all these now? I do. with the tiring work ending at 7 or 8pm daily, you dont have much time to get prepared to sleep by eleven. i dont want all those wrinkles n stuff

oh anyway

Day 4 of CNY

we did the much neccessary ass-kissing act of visiting Laoban's home. Its like if you dont go, u wait long long before he recommend you for promotion. ahha. so we went

but not before we shopped again. The same gals... we went to raffles city la, far east la, DFS la... (psss march bonus is coming and we are going to be gucci customers soon)

Dan n I were happy cos we did not have to work

So you have a problem with that?

No rite

anyway we started critisizing pigu on her non-existent eyes in photos... so many photos of her with NO EYES when she did not make a conscious effort to open them wide wide

den we comforted her telling her that she can go for the oriental slit eye look. what we call FENG YAN..

aiyo poor baby. eyes already so small liao still gena pull lidat. haha.

V day- Valentine's day

Totally lost its appeal. serious.

Giving each other presents is ok. like me and the gals

Ok Dan and I gave each other presents, early, cos u pass by the shop you buy.

This time we gao-gadget

He got me my VERY GORGEOUS

LG viewty... its my 3rd LG phone. this baby can take slow motion video which can be HILARIOUS. Dan the Director is currently working on an art flick starring me & angie the 2 siao zhar bos

Its not ready yet, but he did it because he was inspired by one of our crazy antics when we were doing up the CC6 settings in the call centre. instead of tending to the coms, i showed off my phone which got crazy angie into the "lets-do-this,lets-do-that" mode. mind you she is a married hot mama. but she is still crazy

so Dan saw this, laughed at us, and sat there to think

den he sat us down to film a whole series of action flick. once he is done i will upload it. it should be good

hahaha

this is what i got dan. He is out of black and into white now...

yeah

that aside. anything else on vday is really crazy. $1000 spent to wilt ? i heard that over the radio. seriously pass me the money to get something really lasting can>? like an LV. hah

Dan made reservations at Pasta Fresca, at 6th avenue because we like it so much, and we thought it would not be as crowded as the rest of singpores full of "Smugattacheds"

Time out: Esther's Dictionary

"Smugattacheds"- a stolen phrase, noun~Refers to 2 that makes a couple. may be male-female, male-male, female-female. whatever ok. But these people go around with this loving smiles and touching, in an attempt to showcase their attached-status, and sometimes, look around to see if no one is actually throwing them envious glances. Phenomenom usually more pronounced annually on Feb 14th, and one x smugattached holds a bouquet proudly in the hand, as if it serves a purpose

seriously i get sick looking at the gals holding flowers perfectly in their hands. Showing off can? I have received bouquets before and I put them in PAPER BAGS if i cant leave them at home. I would feel that dumb if i hold one walking around, as if im afraid people dunno i have flowers.

Insecure la...

Plus flowers are crazy expensive on vday. i personally think flowers are nice to have, but $100- $200 for them is pure irrational behaviour.

anyway back to 6th avenue, quiet quiet 6th avenue suddenly became the zoo. So packed and we waited more than 1 hour for our food.

We swore. Next year onwards we will buy stuff and head home to cook. Its more fun and less irritating.

While we were waiting, there was this old ang-moh couple next to us. When they left, we have not gotten our food yet (but we were gracious about it because we had so much to talk about... bitching about work basically but passing it off as quality time) .. and the old lady...

very nicely pass me the rose she had.

She said "I think you will enjoy this more than I do"... and she gave me a pat pat . then she chatted briefly with us about the busy restaurant night and left

How nice.

Do you think any chinese lady would have done this?

something to think about....

Niew ear resolution

I noticed that this year, the fad is to declare to the world that you have no new year resolutions




So everyone was like "nah... no resolutions, they are dumb" "i dont keep to mine anyway"




Even the Pastor at Trinity said that




suddenly, thats like cool.









So how? i PURPOSELY have one resolution when no one else is having any.




OK this year i will make it a point to update my blog.




that way if i die or sumthing, people actually notice.









"Eh... what happened to esther huh. recently never blog. she always blog one leh... im worried. Lets call her"









ring ring




"hello"









"esther, where have u been? im so worried cos u did not blog for sum time"









"You were worried about ME!! thats sooo sweet!!!"














Ya rite.




No i figured if I dont, people actually forget that I exist. Or people meet me on the street and we lapse into awkward silences in between empty boh talk




Which reminds me. that day i was walking around the marketplace at my house, wearing v lok cos i was headed to Dan's and i know he will love me no matter how ugly i look and he promised.




yah. so i was walking, outside cheers, pondering whether to buy calbee or ruffles chips




den i passed by a guy who gave me a look. Immediately, paranoid city. FINE LA, LOOK LA, I UGLY CANNOT MEH




Den he said "Esther!"




I was thinking, wa now ugly also can become famous arh









I stared at him for a good 3 mins and was convinced that I have no name in my mind









He said "its me la"









Mind : of cos its u la, if not me meh?




Face break into this sweet have-mercy-on-me smile









He said "from vball la"









Me "o... orhhhhh..." wa shit, shit, shit. i now know u are from vball and i think yes i know u but... "erm so whats ur name huh"









Well the conversation just went downhill from there. What u doing here oh i pei my mother buy groceries ahaha thats nice so where you stay...




and it was punctuated with awkward silences. im pretty sure he wished he had never shouted "Esther!"









sigh. why must people talk. dont talk everything will be fine ma, rite














-----------------









Ok why am i rambling. Cos its CNY Da Nian Chu Yi Night. I have nothing to do, and Dan is in malaysia. that makes me miserable. Laoshu gave me a tight slap that day and asked me to be more independent









this is how im talking to Dan

free internet sms. to see if we can cut roaming charges. if not, well... at least we tried

i missed him so much. So now Da nian chu yi, i PURPOSELY put one picture we took at xmas

i'm going to be honest here. i miss him like crazy.

anyway i give up being good. Im already publicly recognized as playful. thats the adjective stuck to me like toilet paper to a wet ass. From young my parents are like "Behave yourself ok Esther" But Dan is the one who welcomes it. He lets me be myself and still tells me im v attractive. so its like, i can have pimples lined in a T shape across my face. YAY.

but i miss him. how can i miss him so much when we see each other so much for so long?

Today one of the aunts from my grandaunt side gave me a da-nian-chu-yi talk.

Time out: Esthers dictionary

Da-Nian-Chu-Yi Talk- ~noun: a talk you have on da nian chu yi. duh. but it means different things for different people: ie Kids: "so how are your grades?", teens "which institute are you going to", grads "so have you found a job? how is it?", single adults "Got bf? when are you getting married?" Married adults: "when having baby. does ur mother-in-law sucks?"

Ok so she came to me. She is nice and civilised and educated and all. then she asked me "So when is your Big Day?"

ive been asked that by others le, so i ti gong. den she started talking about saving, getting married early, not to be a mother later than 30 if not no stamina....

Wa

then it dawned on me that I am not the person I was a few years ago. One of the kids. I cannot just start carrying my young cousins and spin them around to camouflage myself as one of the kids le.

So i stoned for the rest of Nian chu yi, thinking why i cannot be a carefree lil kid anymore. Most of the time i just stared into space on a chair. Well thats my role now didnt you say? I am a marriagable adult. Ie. I am boring.

My cousin kelly stoned too. but thats cos she was lacking cigarettes.

I contacted Dan later and he was experiencing the same thing over at the causeway. Things are probably happening at a higher scale (ratio Peninsular malaysia: Singapore). Cos his relatives are probably more vocal, and he is much older. He is 28! quack! LAOOOOO

Lets just take it, friends. we have to stop playing and start thinking about real issues.

Sucks man.

xin nian kuai le la. whatever la. bye.
