Saturday Shopping!!

Went out shopping with Fan Fan on Saturday. She drove in her red lil Picanto (bumpy ride as usual, but no near-death incidents this time) and we headed down to Bugis first.

The Saturday crowd was madness!! We stopped outside OG along the row of eateries and I had One Tonne noodles (heehee I still find this funny after I heard the pun from Martin Yan on his show). My char siew wasn't red or chaoda enough, and Fandrie was supposed to have her shredded chicken noodles but it came in huge pieces. Instead of sending it back she said it was alright and proceeded to daintily remove the chicken skin and bones while talking about astrology and astronomy which I don't know nuts about.

We went to OG first and halfway that woman sneaked out giving the excuse that she left her phone in her car.. and just when I was getting worried for her after she's gone for too long, she came back with 2 bags bought from the pasar malam!!

OG got boring, so we headed down to Bugis Village (bag galore!) and I bought TWO bags!!! That's almost 70 bucks spent in less than 15 minutes!! Gah...

But this Little Miss shirt was the best purchase!!! 12 for one piece, 20 bucks for 2!

Fan and I each bought one. She's Little Miss Curious and I'm.......

Actually I think I'm a rather obliging person (am i not?? hmmm at least people tell me I am ..) and far (shi wan ba qian li) from stubborn but she's so round and cute (actually Fan wanted her first and I wanted Miss Curious but our purchases swapped)

Then she wanted her skinny elastic pants (which no one in the whole wide world can wear except her and maybe some starved people in Africa but they won't look half as hot of course) and the entire Bugis doesn't have her size, so we had to either head for Lilliput, or this shop called Bega in Marina Square.

So we went to Marina Square :D

I think the shop actually waits for her to come in and buy cos no one else can squeeze into them. (They gave her a VIP card lo!) She's has killer buns sitting on top of her killer long legs!! And me? Like one ba zhang... haiz




I got her some tops to try (NO WAY it's too YOU! she said). She amused me by trying them on and I could tell that she secretly loves how she looks in them.. hehehe You can't hide your lying eyes Fandrie.... I'VE GOT GOOD TASTE!

In the end she got her skin tight hot pants and no tops (bleah) and she was happy and we headed for Carrefour for pineapple juice for her mom and....

THIS!!!!

This is the best wasabi peas ever! Huge can for under 4 bucks, crunchy and shiok enough! Eugene hates it :D He doesn't know what's good stuff!

Fan bought a can, and I bought one for myself and one for Tricia to thank her for a favor (<3 u gal)


and look..!!!!



J..J...J...JUST LOOK at what happened to my can in just 2 days!!!

Totally Cleaned OUT! My sis so nice.. left some pea skins for me... thanks ah...

And I only had some for breakfast lunch and dinner! This is the problem when you live with 5 other people in the house ... grrrr)

The peas are so so so so so good. (Fandrie got so mad with us twice for 1. hiding her peas and 2. really finishing them, so you can imagine how good they are!)


mmm MMMM MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!


I dedicate this pledge to our beloved crunchy peas:

We the Wasabi Pea Lovers of Singapore
Pledge ourselves to be forever lovers of this crunchy savoury snack
Regardless of breakfast, lunch or dinner
To build salty fingers and runny noses
Based on our withdrawal symptoms without them
So as to achieve happiness, sore throats and catfights over who gets the last pea

hahaha I know that was stupid! Anyway I modified it from Mark's We the Potato Chip Lovers of Singapore pledge :D We should say this every morning! Everyone says I look like a zombie before 8am .. Now I have something to wake me up!

Ok it's late, need to invigilate tomorrow.. kinda boring.. oh well.. Toodle-loo!

Mystery body part

I'm kinda sick of looking at the layout of my blog... how do people actually do up their blogs? People actually design their own blogskins right?? Can I rip off someone else's?? :p


Anyway, I had a craving for steamboat recently (mus be due to the super cold weather couple days back) so I suggested one of those Ma La Huo Guo shops in Geylang. He picked me up from school at around 6.30pm and we headed for the place.


"Eh you know how to go or not? Take out the street directory leh.."


Flip flip flip... I searched for the map and we matched map 73 with 56 then 18 then 1747652o9 (why do they design street directories like this!??)


" I know how to go la.. let's go" (I was pissed with the maps... join here join there.. -_- anyway don't start on the typical girls can't read maps thing, cos I CAN READ MAPS K!)


Then he got me started on ranting about work (pity Eugene's ears... but that's what boyfriends are for) and soon we found that neither of us was focusing on the road and we were quite lost.


From Serangoon to Geylang....

How did we end up on PIE heading for TUAS!??

Anyway we took 1 freakin hour to find the shop (but it's a good thing... if a guy knows Geylang inside out then maybe got something wrong le)





Eugene was super happy to find parking at the bus terminal, especially when parking was apparently free!


Anyway, at 15 bucks per pax with fresh seafood, dumplings and free flow of drinks, very reasonable wor!



Should have taken pictures... the crab claws were about as large as a FOOT LONG SUBWAY SANDWICH!



Can you imagine how large the actual crab was?? Bigger than the steamboat pot la!

Anyway

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

I still remember seeing it for the first time when I was still a little girl, my maid bending over the kitchen sink washing it. And I thought she was washing a piece of dish cloth.

Compare and Contrast

Well Eugene had no idea what it was! I took a couple of pieces, threw them into the pot and made him eat 2 pieces.


"Eh Bio Engineer... You sure you have no idea what this is??" (poor dearie.... everyone expects him to know everything about every single organism on earth)


"Er... don't know... It's quite chewy though... What is it?"


"Don't tell you... Here, have another piece" (heehee)


(He ate it, looking very confused)


"Ok la... Tell you ...."

IT'S PIG'S ARSE!!!!!!!!!

I swear he flinched and almost spat it out!!!

But that would mean he's HJ right... So he adjusted his composure and said "Oh.. ok... hmmm" and swallowed the morsal.


My poor dearie still has no idea what that is (it's ok... Fandrie the bio teacher doesn't know either)


Shhhh ... You people don't tell him ah!

Tic Tac Toe Queen

Eugene and I had nothing to do after dinner at Soup Spoon (the place where the cook stuck a knife into his manager. By the way they don't give you a piece of chocolate anymore :( and Eugene as usual pui out the corriander he found hiding in his coleslaw.

We walked around in Raffles City aimlessly and to summarise it all:

1. We saw people holding roses and queuing up at a perfume counter. I wanted a rose too but the ones they were giving out looked quite sian already la... the petals were all fully opened and looked almost black. Eugene said you wan ah, I'll go get for you. But I stopped him cos no point la, the ones he bought me for my birthday were much nicer :D (these things happen only once a year, quite sad)

2. I really needed to pee and we headed for the toilet. Then I suddenly remembered that I needed a pair of light colored heels to replace the ones that I broke in school (heng not in class). And according to Eugene when I was thinking about it I stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of nowhere and seemed as if I was contemplating to hold my pee so that I could get my shoes.

" I cant get you women la. How come can suddenly change your mind one. Think about shoes only then can forget about the toilet."

Interesting observation. He's the bio scientist so i'll leave him to figure that out.

3. After peeing popped into Robinson's for shoes and all damn expensive la and mostly for aunties.

4. Decided to go to Bras Basah Mc. Grabbed a large diet coke and I took out my marking and he looked a bit sian so I put that aside so that all my attention was on him. Then he didnt know what to say -_-

So at this point I decided to play tic tac toe behind a worksheet. He groaned cos he hates the game. You know why???

Cos this genius has NEVER won me at tic tac toe before!!!!!

Ever since we started playing the MSN version online he has never won a single game.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???

Ok so someone who was on the Dean's list, writes formulae comprising damn cheem looking symbols for calculating dunno what rabbit knee ligament tensile strength and rubbish like that, cannot win tic tac toe?

So there we were with my red pens playing the most boh liao game in the world. I think he made it more boh liao by actually taking at least 20 seconds to make each move. (ok actually it was just one move). He took so long I had a chance to take him in action before he noticed:

Quite cute hor

Then he discovered that he was caught and it will probably be published:

Then he acted pissed:

"hmph dun want to play with you already"

(takes a peek to see if i'm buying it)

After like 10 rounds he got so demoralised and decided to work out how much Power of Love we each had for each other (see first post) and it turned out that i have 0.29 more than he has for me.

OMG

Liddat how can???

I told him to recall Le Chatlier's Principle and I will make sure the situation shifts so don't be too happy. And he said the usual yeah rights and looked damn YayaPapaya and proud la. But quite cute oso.

The sweetest thing he said tonight was that he wants me to marry him tomorrow.

(blushes)

Only if you win me at tic tac toe first?

When would you expect a proposal from your guy?

We were having this conversation at Kallang Mc on Wednesday night after watching Live the Dream at Media Corp (Shauna went through by the way). Was feeling like crap after an incident in school regarding a doctored MC submitted by a student and had to play detective the whole day and night. It was around 10pm and we were having dinner and Eugene insisted he didn't want to share my chicken nuggets.

Then I asked him, "So when are you going to propose?" (you may think that I'm very brave to ask this, but he talks about it like aunties talk about price of fish so it's no big deal between us)

:-O <- this was his face before he broke into a huge smile (was he embarrassed or wat?) and asked why??? "Cos you were asking me about rings and how many carats I'd want and stuff like that.. that was around 2 months ago? Excitement cooled off liao ah?"

"No la... er... I shouldn't talk too much about it ma... Then when it happens it will be when you least expect it, " he said rather sheepishly (quite cute)

"Issit.... Or is it cos you changed your mind about it?"

"HUH? why?? No!" (defensive mode)

"It's ok la... understandable. Cos no push factor for you to propose ma. "

"HUH? what? wat push factor?"

"There are a few reasons for a guy to propse k.. you dunno ah... "

"Ok what are they....?"

Then I listed down the factors I manage to come up with as I spoke (I was trying very hard not to sound crappy, this kind of thing, the girl must be the expert)

1. He feels he's losing the girl.
2. He wants to move out but doesn't have enough money. (laughter from him)
3. Pressure from girl. (no i'm not guilty of this)
4. Pressure from parents.

"And none of them applies to you at this point of time... this relationship too comfy for you hor ;) "

And then he exclaimed, "WHAT?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE POWER OF LOVE!?"

"(very calmly) Define the Power of Love please hor" (cannot let him win)

So for the next hour we debated about what is the Power of Love and the scientist in him kept throwing out Newton's law and formulae and rubbish. Heng I still remember enough Physics to counter attack, if not ah, he think he can smoke me so easily!!!

We came up with the following method on what is the Power of Love and how it can be calculated. Extremely nonsensical and stupid and long but it was so funny how we arrived to a conclusion.

So (fanfare and drumroll) Tada! Here you are:

(warning: if you dunno your O level physics, you better dun read and just scroll down for the overall formula la. If you are the kind who ace quantum Physics in University pls dun read oso in case you vomit blood)

How can you calculate the Power of Love?

Consider P = W/t where P is power, W is work done and t is time

Since work done = force x distance,

Therefore P = F x d / t where P is power of love, F is force of attraction, d is distance traveled by the couple and t is the total time they were together.

The force of attraction between 2 people is measured from the extent which they need each other emotionally, physically and mentally. This can be quantified by a questionnaire which is filled in and totaled up to give a number.

Sample question:

1. How often do you meet up per week? (for example 3 times)

2. How often on these occasions do you feel more obliged than wanting to meet? (for example 2 times)

3. Resultant force in this case would be 3-2 = 1

The distance traveled together is a metaphorical one. It can be quantified by the length of time the couple has been together. The longer the time spent together, the further the relationship develops. Therefore the distance traveled is directly proportional to time.

How much you are willing to spend on your partner must be taken into account. You may think at this point: Wah liddat millionaire benefit la! I so poor sell my socks oso not enough to buy expensive gifts can?!

Thus the accumulated monetary value of gifts must be divided by the monthly income to give a more realistic figure, giving us G/I

Recall: P = F x d / t

Since d α t and taking into account G and I,

d = Gt/I

hence P = F x Gt/tI

= F x G/I

Hence I conclude that


Power of Love =Force of attraction x value of Gifts / Income

So Eugene damn lucky la... cos he has very little income from his tuition (although he gets 2K from his research but he insists that's not income lar) ! wah lau...

And worse still by the end of it all he took all 3 of my nuggets and ate them WITHOUT ME NOTICING!! (then some more act act like want to buy more for me)

So much for the Power of Love -_- '''
diao....
