Was walking past a Malay wedding today and they had a rock band playing this song:

  and 

together???

A whole lot of plain mindless laughter.

For a moment towards the end it did nearly threaten to end up as a B grade horror flick as the plant gobbled Hossan Leong up. Think everyone was watching that scene in disbelieve with their mouths wide open. it was frightening definitely but so unbelievably comical and low class haha…

and that denise tan was just fantastic…brought i tear to my eye whenever she sings the sad song…eventhough it was about “hoping to stay in a small house just outside the ECP and not those big bungalows in Bukit Timah” and “how she wish she can spend the rest of her life with her microwave and Seymour”.

anyway…its not a coincidence that the dim sum dolly picture that i found turned out to be so small. thats how small their roles are in the musical.

i miss the actual dim sum dollies show…hope they bring it back soon….

HO1: Oh hey…so how’s your patient list now?

HO2: Aiyoh…my list exploded today lor…

HO1: Oh? How many patients do you have now?

HO2: 4 lor!!!! (sounds genuinely irritated)

HO1: Woah! So many ah! (sounds genuinely flabbergasted)

HO2: Yah!!!

HO1: Its like a 400% increase!!!

“The Curse of the Golden Flower” by Zhang Yimou.

Ewwww….what a bombastic name…the title that is…

It looks very different from Banquet. its like what we’ll expect to see in a well-to-do present day China house: huge chandeliers that are impossible to clean with Roman statues everywhere that the owners insist on cos its “velly nice”…and oh, not forgetting…GOLD everywhere..gold knobs gold spoons gold pillars gold fountains….aiyoh….

aniwei…Jay Chou’s acting in it…and so he’s naturally singing the song too…

someone mentioned that Jay Chou is soooo boring cos his songs sound all the same…but then..thats what people like rite? familiarity.

and of course in ProjectSuperstar speak that one is mostly like to hear very soon on TV: “he has developed his own STYLE!!!”

Over dinner,

Mom: Think i’ll take a break on wed…(some silence)…cook for you all instead…

Dad: Hah?! Take one piece of bread only where got enough…

Mom: (continues to pick on her rice…oblivious to what Dad just said)…aiyah i very tired mah….dont want to work overtime mah so cook for your lor…

Dad: (um-cheos)…

First heard the song on Eva’s iPod last year during the Opthalmology posting and I was hooked since.

Loved the lyrics. Yup. I have a penchant for depressing songs. They seem to have a story to tell.

So here it is. Its the best one I can get from Youtube. So I’ve included in the lyrics too. (Just listen to the song, dont bother about the video.)

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I’ve held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It’s just as well for all I’ve seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That’s if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you’re the only one who knows.

well, here’s episode 2:

Never buy chicken rice from a stall run by 2 China-man.

every chicken rice stall should be declared a national institution! and foreigners should be barred from running them! same goes to the bak kut teh stall, the chao kway teow stall, the orh luat stall, the kaya toast stall and so on….

here’s why:

1. the moron gave me this “wtf” stare when i asked for chicken breast…

ok i see some singaporeans out there rolling their eyes too but i dont care ok…thats me….i like chicken breasts ok…and i ask for it when i go kfc also! humph! and those 2 china-man have absolutely no right to judge me!

2. the moron gave me this “wtf” stare and nearly rolled his eyes when i asked for white rice…

ok i can see some more singaporeans preparing to run me down with their cars…but i just finished a really good swim ok! wats wrong with wanting to take in less fat! MOH always say eat in moderation wat! and eating a plate of chicken rice with the fatty laden rice is like eating 2 Mac meals ok! and isnt the customer always right?!

(ok i feel like i just shot myself in the foot for that haha…but i shall carry on…)

3. the china man asked if i wanted chilli and was nearly about to scoop a dollop of duck rice chilli onto the packet! WTF! of course i said NO la!

4. i asked for some of those thick black sauce to go and both of them gave me this blank stare like “who IS this moron asking for black sauce???”

they tried to second-guess me by suggesting the thick sweet sauce/zhi that u put on the char siew rice but i swiftly said “Bu shi bu shi” and then I rolled my eyes!

5.  and when they gave me the rice (without the chilli), i pointed to the chicken rice chilli and asked for a packet and the same moronic china-man looked at me with that same “wtf” expression that said “i thought u just now say u dont want chilli???”

WTF! WTF!! WTF!!!
