What really can you do in Singapore?
Other then being a couch potato.
When we've watched almost all that VOD on Starhub could offer, we turned to Video Ezy.That was where I have burnt a couple of tens weekly. Times that to 4, that could bought me a very nice new pair of shoe!
Well thanks to Tall Guy who gave me a glorious vanity moment. It's either he's half blind or they just train their staffs well... Whichever it is, they sure have been successful making me spend my good dime.
I was there with the girls and was telling Tall Guy that I'm pretty bad in returning borrowed stuff in time. He then mentioned that I can get my sisters to return it on my behalf. I turned to my left and right, was confused initially until he pointed to my kids. When I told him that I'm the mother, I swear his jaw just fell to the ground! hahah. He took my IC, kept flipping it back and forth then look up to me and did it again at least 4 times like a routine. That was really funny.
Well that made my day actually. I was beaming while the kids must be getting sick of their mother's self admiration and the oh-my-god-he-thought-i'm-your-sister glorious moment re-enactment and repeated broadcast on channel Mr Husband.
Mr Husband obviously got tired listening and just go .. 'whatever' attitude like he don't care. But it was interesting to see some reaction from him when I told him another piece just weeks later.
I had a late lunch alone and was rushing back to the office. As I was walking, I heard a footstep jogging behind me and suddenly a man voice talking to me from my right.
"Hey .. Hi! hmm .. can I get to know you?"
Seriously I was stunned, but frankly I was actually more confused. Looked to my left and right .. and all that I can come up with was like:
"Huh?! You talking to me??"
Then he kept asking for my name and introduce himself. He's not too bad, dark and pleasant looking. A Malaysian starting a new job from around my office area.
Then he asked for my number. For some stupid reason, well blame me for being a multi-tasker-GER (Multi-tasker Manager)I had 1001 things running in my head at the same time! Enthusiastically my reply was:
"By the way, you have friends who'd like to work part time or maybe yourself for our 2 days project this coming weekend? Drop by to my office on the second floor .. call my office"
This time he was confused. hahaha. He must have been like what the heck? Anyway, cut story short, he called me on my DID couple of times later on the pretense of asking about the jobs then smoothly tried his 'get to know you' pick up line. And my respond was:
"For your information, you're talking to a married woman whose a mother of seven. Yes I've got 7 children who can shred you to 7 pieces in 7 seconds and a husband whose 7 feet tall, 7 times your size who'll hunt you down for just making this call. Still interested?"
So ok.. that's so exaggerated. I wish I could, but I'm a nice person. Well actually the statement just stop with the children. Told him I'm a family person, someone wife and mother and there's no good reason for him to have any acquaintance with me. Somehow he got that and that was the last time I heard from him.
Well yes that piece made Mr Husband sit up for a while :)
Back to the video thingy, me and the kids have our video moments every weekends .. friday nights. And that have quite burnt a hole on my pocket. Not really on the rental fee but the late fine fee.
So now, we've switched to hollywoodclicks.com where late fee doesn't exist, and dvd delivered to your mailbox! So that's really sweet!
And back to what can you really do in Singapore?
Well of course other than DVDs .. it helps that getting my first DSLR gives me an alternative answer.
So for the whole past 1 week, the mind was fully tuned into things photography ... aperture, bokeh, exposure, histogram .. became familiar. Clubsnap/ Flickr became the regular hangout and the forum is where I clicked with other photo maniac.
I'm sleepy.
Till then and hopefully will update on our weekend 'getaway' with buddy Olympus E520 the next time round!
