Food for thought, heard this comment on 非常男女...
People in the past use binoculars (望远镜) to choose their partners, so they look into the future. But people now use magnifying glass (放大镜) to choose their partners; they look out for the smallest details (and flaws).
Hmmm...the whole point of the comment: people are too picky?
Well, my Saturday, only one week since the end of my exams. Yet I feel like I had holidays for a long time already. Perhaps cos I have been sleeping quite alot. Basically when I never go out, not online, or don't feel like doing anything else, I sleep--and dream. Haha.
Went out today for a dip in the pool. BUT I didn't really want to go for a dip in the pool today cos not feeling too well, yet I still went. The pool was sooo crowded with kids having their swimming lessons; so there were kids with green caps on one side and blue caps on the other. They splash a whole lot of water when they swim free-style! How I dread that! Haha. Maybe cos I can no longer swim free-style? Too exhausting for me to even last two laps...Practise perhaps?!
Good that things were ok between Dear and me already--talked it out today, made a promise. So we had dinner at KFC. And I was telling him that we are a non-fastfood couple, as I recounted the no. of times we ate at fastfood restaurants: never at BK nor MOS Burger, only once at Macs, twice or thrice at KFC, and maybe five times at Long John's Silver when we were rushing to catch a movie. Maybe this is good since fastfood is not good. Sounds silly. Nothing better to do than to count.
Then we crossed the road where there was a pasar malam, and bought otak (so spicy)! Waited for Dear's friend to yim kopi at Starbucks, oh yeah, expensive kopi. So there I was, quite bored by their conversation cos they kept talking abt their army days and people. Word of warning to guys: please don't start talking about ur army days whenever you get together with ur buddies--especially when there are girls around. It's not a very interesting topic, you see? So they went from this person to that person, blah blah blah...
While they were talking, I got a little shock when I found out that Dear smoked a cigarette from his friend-in NUS (for fun he added). Hmph. I must ban him from seeing that friend. Negative peer influence. Haha. Unfortunately, I've a particular dislike for cigarette smoke--I would siam whenever I see someone arnd me smoke! So I won't want Dear to smoke, and make me a second hand smoker. Glad he assured me he won't do it again-that was just for once (for fun he said).
That's about it-so his friend went chionging (to support his hall), while Dear and I went back.
I had a BIG surprise waiting for me at home!...A HUGE cockroach!!! Totally disgusting and detestable!!! My greatest fear: it can fly!!! (Probably flew into my room after it made its entry from my grandma's room.) Fortunately, I managed to grab the Shieldtox spray and kill the cockroach before it could "soar" and terrorise me, so it was scrambling for its life across the floor before finally overturning, and decided to give up its last efforts to move its limbs. Haha. Then I got my brother to use the tissue to get rid of the "corpse" for me! Dear is scared of cockroaches too, wonder if he can get rid of cockroaches next time?! Think I will succeed in giving him a shock with one instead!!! :p
So silly. Time to sleep. Gonna have buffet in my house tmr--celebration of Mothers' Day!!
妈咪, 母亲节快乐!!
(Haha...sounds quite silly! She doesn't even know I have a blog!! But it's the thought that counts right?! Perhaps I should start playing 世上只有妈妈好...)
