on a sunday morning when i'm trying to do math homework, mum was like, everybody! let's go to sheng siong!
of course, jie and i protested. we were overruled by the combined power of our parents, so we reluctantly went. sat at the back of the van with my sister and we talked about cute ocelots (did you know that salvador dali kept one as a pet?), kungfu panda and prince lesbian.
dad drove down a very familiar road and i was like, are we going to school? but it turns out that we went to this hawker centre near my school for lunch. you know, the one when you walk all the way down to the bus stop at the foot of the bukit timah community centre, past 7-11 and just straight ahead, ta-dah! THAT hawker centre.
at ten mile junction's sheng siong, dad got a trolley and jie brought me around the aisles, choosing biscuits. she grabbed boxes of them while asking me questions about history. i kept giving her one word answers like hitler, stalin, gorbachev, karl marx, mussolini, fascism, aggressive foreign policy, nazism, versailles treaty, czechoslovakia, berlin wall, glasnost, perestroika, ..well you get the idea. obviously i didn't answer her questions, so she was like, "your history sucks." and i was like, "hey! i got an A1 okay!"
she dumped everything into the trolley where dad was standing next to. he had his ear piece and so jie went in front of him and was like, "dad, you try to look cool but fail." he did this funny expression and started laughing. then mum came over with fruit juice and said, "wait here." so dad asked, "okay, so what's your mission?"
jie and i said in unison, "wait here." lol.
then dad was like, suddenly taking a walk down memory lane. "you remember last time at cold storage when we went grocery shopping you used to say 'daddy! what's my mission?' and i would say 'okay. your mission is to find bananas'. "
jie was like, "yeah i dont know why, but it's always bananas, like we're a bunch of monkeys." i vaguely remember, so i ask "which cold storage?" and jie says "the one at king albert park." so i assume that it was before we moved to CCK.
anyway, dad went off and did get some bananas and grapes before we drove home. in the van, dad and mum talked about work. okay, confession time: my family is a bit racist. just a bit, when mum was complaining about the neighbour who lives next door, and dad was commenting about this guy at work who said "notatall" with an indian accent and so he did not understand. jie cracked a joke about pancakes and all of us laughed. for once, mum and dad did not argue!
i'm cooped up at home today! like a hermit. so here i am eating spicy nuggets and onion rings from mcdonald's. it's part of the kungfu panda special; i can see that from the nugget box, as there's a picture of that panda with a tiger. i bet my handphone bill will be freaking low this month. mum wont have a chance to nag about it. for all you know, i might become a library nerd when you see me next term. ha!
made some changes to the html codes before changing my blogskin to this one.
archery sounds fun! hongyong told me about it the other day, since that's his CCA. i want to try archery! air rifle is the closest thing that i know of. tried it during the air rifle course at CDANS when i was a sec one student.
watched 唯我独尊 last night with mum, and she was supporting that girl called germaine so i supported her too, since the rest aren't really worth supporting. mum likes germaine 'cause she's sweet. ren liangyi is so disgusting, i just can't stand her. i thought that shiqian was going to win for sure, since she has so many supporters but mum's prediction was right and germaine was the female champion.
i can't believe zhenhuan even got into the final two. his only talent is to catwalk and to stare at the camera intensely. so it was obvious that yuan shuai was going to be the male champion and also the overall champion. but i still like louis better, since he's cute and funny. plus he plays the saxophone and has the same birthday as me! (i guess i was so bored that i went to the 唯我独尊 website.)
since i don't really like the show in the first place, i kept switching channels in between commericials to watch snipets of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on channel five.
lit fest tomorrow!
sy: hello! linked :)
