有感而发.....

i just wanna say..........................






....stay at home for too long makes one super childish!!!



To Tilda: i want my pic!

the desperate housewives

Have been watching desperate housewives lately... Did not want to watch it at first, thought it'll probably be like Sex and the City, some kinda shallow shows (ermm....though i din watch Sex and the City =P), but i'm glad my bro forced me to! It's a great great great show...... Only at epi 5 (out of 23...OH MAN!!) now. Think can finish by this week...muaahhhaaa....

there's this neighbour in the show who is super kpo but appears to be helpful and friendly...she reminded me of an ang moh auntie i met on the train from belgium to london. We wanted to change seat for one friend 'cos her seat was at the other cabin and one nice girl who was travelling alone agreed. Then this auntie suddenly appear from nowhere...

Auntie: hi, just something for you to note. when the conductor (i forgot what noun she used) ask for your ticket, tell him you change your seat
Nice girl: nah...i don't think there will be conductors on eurostar
(she's right k....'cos we have to get pass the customs to board eurostar...ever see plane conductors punching ur air tix??)
Auntie: oh no....there is...sometimes....
Us: yah...probably you should mention that to him. it'll be good to let him know.
Nice girl: yea...think i should (then to the auntie) thanks
Us: (smiling fakely and oso to the auntie) thank you
Auntie: (smile widely) just want to remind you girls

*pause pause* very weird pause leh....somehow like we 3 friends who know each other more than 10 years can read what one another's minds are processing (the 4th friend already at the other cabin), and we are all thinking the same thing: KPO!!! i mean singaporean just mind their own biz that's y we can't really get used to this kinda friendliness.... BUT somebody has to press the play button!! cannot keep pausing right......so i piak piak! break the ice...

Me: that auntie seems quite nice hor....reminded us about the tix thingy (obviously i'm faking lah k!)
Friends: hmm...yah.... (and obviously they are faking too!!)

apparently we want to get that kpo word out of our tired brains....we are already quite pissed with the jap uncle (we asked him to change seat with us before asking that girl....'cos his location is just in line with 3 of us) who refused to change seat with us...can't he be more gentleman??

3+ hours later....reaching london soon....

Auntie: (turned to a mother diagonally behind her who is desperately tendingly her noisy bb) u need a tissue?
Mother: Sorry?
Auntie: oh i thought i heard you said you need a tissue
Mother: oh it's okay...i found mine
Auntie: no no...you take it. i can buy a pack at the store. you need it, you can take it.
Mother: it's really ok 'cos i have a pack here
Auntie: you may need more, dun worry about me
Mother: o thank you....

Wah....that auntie has sharp ears wor..... are the neighbour and the auntie kpo or are they helpful?? really 一线只差...

---------------something else....while waiting---------------

This neighbour had also tried to blackmail one of the housewives 'cos that housewife accidentally set a slut's (aiyah...demure girl shouldn't use this word but they called her that in the show) house on fire then later sneaked into the neighbour's house to steal something.... The neighbour thinks the housewife is the baddie and the housewife think the neighbour is a baddie.... Again a bit 一线只差 right....or rather a matter of perspective?

Actually i realised this when i was taking an ethics module from nus....and when i was watching digimon years ago.....the kids thought that the 'bad' digimon was destroying the digimon world and the 'bad' digimon thought the kids were obstracting their plans in improving the digimon world... a bit like wat the jap emperor thinks during WWII wor...jialat...i've been thinking too much about WWII lately...

---------------finally....that's all---------------

P/S: does this suddenly REMINDS you....Jun is not just demure, stingy, cheapo, likes free stuff...she can be philosophical oso?

P/S/S: i'm not faking good ang moh there k...(irregardless of the no. of grammer errors i made)... the ppl on the train are English so they speak correct english and i'm trying my best to recall how their correct english sounds like....
[sub P/S/S: they really like to add in the "oh"...not like i'm a oh-addict... They oso like to use words like 'brilliant', 'ashamed'.]

P/S/S/S: uh oh...think the pics take a bit long to load leh.... i remove the song first k...dun mind yah....


Yea....finally done with my files transferring....going back to it now!

Europe Photos (III)

Day 16
Eurail To Den Haag. Stayed in StayOkay again.... Though it's near red light district, it seems super safe with all the cameras and the heavy door...

Den Haag is another boring place. The orchard road there is so similar to Brussels and Rotterdam, and we are already so sick of it.


See...even their royal palace is so ao tah....


And their famous museum....forgot the name liao. But it is better than the royal palace....weird...

Luckily only 1 day there.


Day 17
Amsterdam!


Dam Square





Bicycle Park


Had pancakes there. Belgium famous for waffles and Netherlands famous for pancakes. Had banana chocolate, ham and cheese, and bacon with mushroom. Bagus!!


Sex Museum in Amsterdam....eur2.50 per entry....no student discount...haa




Luckily the photos at the background too small to see....else too RA liao.


Anne Frank statue near Anne Frank House. There are flowers at the bottom of the statue wor....so sweet... Went to see her hiding place....dark and small. They also showed video on the concentration camp...real sad leh. The ways the Jews were being tortured were really horrible...and they dug very deep and big holes to bury the naked bodies of Jews. There were many pics on the camp and Anne Frank's friends and family too. Asia should have more of these to let the Jap students know more of the correct WWII history.

Stayed in Shelter Jordan hostel....14 beds dorm. First time sharing with so many people, but heng we 4 girls get one corner by ourselves....dun need to mix with rest. Antisocial!


Day 18
Visit museum early in the morning.... *yawn*






Rijksmuseum


Heinkeken brewery....cum showroom

Yea! That's the end of self planned tour! Safe and sound! Take eurail to belgium then eurostar back to London...6 hours trip. Though tired, we were all very happy 'cos going to stay with Fengxian's sister for the next few days...which we expected it to be more cosy! They stayed at Swindon....3 hours away from London.


And it's really good. Small house, but 什么都有!


Our room. Not very big, but very contented already. ...thick mattress, thick blanket, many many pillows...


The small and clean kitchen, with fengxian's sis (fengshan) suddenly become a housewife.


Makan home cooked food - fried bee hoon by fengshan and her hubby.


Day 20

Think this is reports lounge...can't really remember






Interview room...is that what they called it?? That's where the press conference is held. Photo shows a kind, demure soul helping a lonely-guy-who-tour-alone take photo. muuaahhaa!


Then went chinatown for more shopping....yijun really 满载而归, but not as 满载 as fengxian.


Day 21

Day 22
Went Swindon car boot sale. They really 什么都 sell leh... And there are actually people 什么都 buy.



Afterwhich, we went Windsor...the place where the Queen enjoy her summer holiday and where Prince Charles remarry.
