Anyway Singapore was great. Big thanks to my in-laws who washed and cleaned up after us, if you're reading we couldn't have done it without you.
Here are some choice pictures from our Singaporean Lunar New Year.
Pardon my language but WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS!? Funny thing is they've gotten it right the last 10 times i used vpost. Is someone in Vpost is out to get me? In this case i think the theory of screw-ups is more probable than the theory of conspiracy.
I tell you the problem with Singapore, too many monopolies. Lack of competition breeds stupid SOPs that don't make sense, and they hire customer service officers who obviously never shopped online before because they don't know the difference between DELIVERY and PROFILE addresses!!!!
I AM FUMING. What would u have me do? Threaten to not use their service? Wait i can't cos i have no options.
Complain? Cannot also cos on their web page there is only an option for "compliment", no option for "complaints", such audacity. Singapore is a service oriented city MY BIG-FAT-GIGANTIC-BIRTH-GIVING ASS.
SIL: If u're reading, now u know why the plates never arrived. there's no resolution yet.

The royal blue sapphire is a wedding present from Mountain man, but i didn't go to a good jeweller to set it the first time so i really hated it. This was the previous setting, the workmanship was seriously poor.
PS: If you haven noticed, i bought MK and Ashley's INFLUENCE!! i dig them twins...

Anyway, today i was at the lucky plaza bus-stop trying to figure out which bus to take to Marina Square. It was extremely packed so i kinda had to squeeze through the bodies to get to the bus route directions. Then i came across the RUDEST women i've ever met. The conversation happened something like this...
Me: Excuse me, excuse me (while meandering through the crowd)
Rude Lady: PLS don't push (and she pushed me while telling me not to push her)
Me: But i said "excuse me"... i needed to get across.
Rude Lady: Yah you said "excuse me" but i have the right not to move away for you. (i was like ??????like tht also can ah)
Me: What do you mean, when people say excuse me, it's only polite to let them pass...
Rude lady: no no no (she waves her fugly fat index finger at me)
Me: Don't you dare wave your finger at me (I wave my long and slender index finger back at her). You are so rude, you owe me an apology...
Rude lady: you are the one who is rude.
Me: Excuse me, you have no manners!
...and the crowd kinda took over the bus stop so it was impossible to continue quarrelling even though i wasn't done. I wanted to hurl every insult i knew at her, I even wanted to whip out my hp and take a picture of her horrible face to post on this blog... But she disappeared fast enough. GOOD FOR HER. Better don't wait till i unleash my china trained wrath upon her. I'll end off with a Krrrruuueeeeek... PUI!
The girls and i are reunited at last (minus yuen who is down with flu).... One good thing about the economic crisis is tht there's nothing to do in the office, so everyone's free to meet up on a monday night. I call these girls the "constant" in my life. It's been so many years but whenever we get together, we'll gossip about more or less the same people and laugh at more or less the same jokes... and that's precisely what i need. I need to know that there are some things in my life that are predictable. Friends who don't judge but empathize with whatever insanity life deals you. Friends who have seen, suffered and endured your idiosyncracies and yet still love you.
Our most sincere best wishes to both couples.
ADDTIONALLY:
On top of the personalised emblem design, mark also created their own slideshow. Its unlike any other slideshow we watch during dinners, its just very THEM. The subjects in the pictures move...super trippy. If anybody wants a slideshow this style, i would be happy to accept referral commission. ha ha.
(FYI Mark is a graphic designer at this sporty channel we all watch every week).
Can u imagine ur mom rapping instead of nagging? I can't decide which is more effective...
My favourite is the IT guy...
