Mum: "Who did the hanging of clothes just now?"
Me: "Not me lah."
Mum: "wah see, ur sis even helped to cook porridge for us."
Me: "you can marry her off alr lah."
Mum: "papa thinks u're still immature. still so unstable."
taken aback, i said defensively, "Yaya YA, i'm still immature. Cannot meh? i'm only 23. i have the right to be immature STILLLLL. it's okay if i dunno how to cook, i'm not of marriageable age what."
and rolled my eyes some more.
Mum: "no, you know how to cook, just lazy."
Me: "....... "
Mum: "So, who did you go out with yesterday night for a movie uh? must be new bf righttt." and she gives me an evil raise-raise-eyebrow look.
Me: "No lah. i have alot of frens, cannot meh." *Sweat drop*
Mum: "you choose bf must eyes open big big okay. oh, few nights ago i dreamt that u got back together with that-who leh. "
Me: "!?!?! WHO??"
Mum: "Nor, the one who wanted to take pic with u on convoction but u avoided him like plague one lor."
Me: "!!! I where got avoid him!! he where got want to take pic with me?!? He wanted to take pic with YOU & pa, not meee!"
Mum: "Aiya he's finding excuses mah, actually he wants to take pic with u one lah."
Me: ".................................."
Then she went on to give me a good whole 20 mins lecture on how i should have given TW a 2nd chance, how nice he is, how blah blah blah blah.....OH my god! I think they want him as their son lor, and drag me into it, AGAIN. -_-"'
sometimes mummy drives me crazy. sometimes she says the darnest things, i can't help but wonder where i inherited that "duh"-kind-of-humour from.

Mummy the funny - Part I
"mummy, ni hai wo~!!"
"tomorrow run again lor."
"......"
Sobsob, that 45mins of jogging has gone to waste!! All becos mummy dearest tempted me with a crispy golden fried chicken drumstick! Before that, i alr ate 3 pieces of durian fruit, 1.5 slices of Wu Chin Leong bak gua, 2 cans of 100Plus, AND, 1 bowl of Yoshinoya's mini congee with deep fried salmon pieces. (>.<)!
Another funny thing that mum said -
~~~~~~~~
"i think ah siang has a gf"
"ARE U SURE!?! How did you know?? He told u?" i couldnt believe my ears.
"no lah, but i think so. i told him that he "jiao nu peng you" is okay, just dun "anyhow anyhow". then he smile smile at me." she said, matter-of-factly.
"oooooohh..." at the same time my brain scans for past conversations with ah siang on who could potentially be THE gf.
"aiya my son so handsome, of cos la," she continued.
"*PENGZ*"
i almost fell off my chair. that was the most unexpected response from her.
~~~~~~~~
but yeah, she's right, my kiddo bro's got his charm and his way with the ladies. except he has this long sideburns and super tail-long fringe that make him look very ah-bengish. been naggin at him to cut it off, but to no avail.
this conversation set me off on a "sherlock holmes" journey to find out who THE gf is. And i have my conclusion~~~!!!
i suspect..... she's....... someone by the name of "J*****n". Even their blogskins are from the same creator lehhh!!! --> "&MUSIC" and "&LOVE". Awwww. how romantic.
So, siang, am i correct?? lol

shop shop shop!
5 hours of shopping-crazy. From 11.30am to 4.30pm.
met ah yong at tampines to shop for his metrosexual, attention-seeking pink shirt so that he can fulfill the tall order of meeting the "Pink Theme" of a classmate's birthday party.
and me? without fail, the impulsive once-a-month shopaholic side of me surfaced to conquer TM & CS with much gusto and speed. It helped that everywhere's going at "20% OFF". i wonder whether GSS is really over or not.
Mondo
1 pair of black heels + 1 pair of biege-shimmering string heels ($19.90 for 1st pair, $10 for 2nd)
= $29.90
Pepper Plus
1 green lace-bubbly party top ($24) + 1 white crop pants ($30 @ 20% off)
= $48.00
G2000
2 long-sleeve collar shirts in purple & black strips + 1 beige bootcut pants ($23 each)
= $69.00
Surfer Paradise
1 grey surfer print top for ah-siang
= $19.00
Total damage = $165.90!!!!
Over-spent! :S
The only consolation is that i managed to buy many items (all sale pieces, mind u) compared to my inglorious past when i indulged in full-priced Zara or Mango, spending >$200 and ending up with that few pathetic pieces.
nonetheless, it was such an over-indulgence still. A sense of "bloatedness" overwhelmed me at the end of the entire trip, it felt like i bought more than i could stomach.
Sigh, starve me of my occasional shopping and this is what happens.
Anyway, ah yong bought a really nice shade of pink polo tee from Nautica, setting him back by $39. Given the crazy "Final Sale" at G2000, he also got himself a long-sleeve shirt plus a nice strippy black pants @ $48 in total. A guy's long-sleeve shirt cost only $19! Can u imagine that? And women's long-sleeve shirt/pants/crop pants only cost $23 each! i think it's definitely a bargain! I didn't set out to shop at G2000 (or rather, i never planned to shop today at all) but the sale was just too irresistable!! Please, go and stock up on ur office wear today, it's worth it.
Now, it's time for me to sit back, relax and devour all these goodies bought during the shopaholic-famished day.

You Gotta Be A Selfish Lover (sometimes)...
"Selfishness is good. I don't mean complete selfishness - that would be a crime.
But practise moderation in being selfish is actually beneficial for one's mental health.
How many times have you believed yourself to be a giver? Everyone says they give, while seldom people admit that they are takers. When a relationship fails, all you think is how much you've given to *that* person and shouldn't have wasted your time in the first place. And that led to your depression, your PMS, your sadness etc because you can't stop hating the person who has cheated/disappointed you. In short, yes, you feel shortchanged.
Nobody asked you to give *that* much in the first place. I am sure you did it out of your own free will. You went head over heels, feelings ruled over your own mind. I know it's hard to hold back. When love flows, all else flows.
That said, from the little I experiences I have been through, just like you, maybe something is wrong with ourselves. Start practising self-love, I preach. Really, we have to love ourselves more than others (unless you are Jesus Christ) at times. In what ways? I am not asking you to masturbate (I know you do, it should never be a suggestion on my side).
Stop buying things for your other half. It's time you pamper yourself. Treat yourself to a good Spa treatment or buy yourself a new toy (I suggest Creative's Zen Touch?). Rework your priorities. Dedicate more time, and I mean PRIME times to friends and family. Don't try to meet your good friend for a sorry Monday evening and then dedicating the whole weekend for your other half. Simply put, don't privilege your partner with fantastic timings and subjugate your friends to pathetic 1hr weekday lunches or mad-rush sale shoppings.
More importantly, stop alluding what the future holds for the both of you, unless you are getting married. Yes, we must plan for the future, but always remember to see TWO plans. Plan A is how you would want to live your live as a SINGLE 1,2,5 or 10 years down the road and Plan B is how you would want to live your life as an ATTACHEE xxx years down the road. If your relationship fails, at least you have prepared a vision for yourself as a SINGLE beforehand. The future seems clearer with more plans, just like buying several insurance policies.
More often than none, people end up depressed/suicidal/mad/angry/frustrated/you-fill-in-the- blanks after a break up because the future that they have pictured with their partners have been completely dashed. They see no light at the end of the tunnel for maybe a day to even years. Getting over a relationship is hard when someone refuses accept reality and live in the past i.e to hang on to ideals which were never meant to come true.
Start making an insurance policy for yourself today. This insurance is very unique. The beneficiary is yourself. That when you get dumped, you still have yourself, and you still have your own life, albeit single and different, but well prepared and yes, bright. "
