CNY day [2] (2007)

I’m terribly jaded right now. I just managed to sneak up and catch a breath from being a vivacious host, running around getting drinks and attempting to make small talk with people I haven’t seen in over a year.

I was actually contemplating gambling, but my answer was quickly decided when my dad decided to become the banker, AGAIN. I won’t want to lose money to him even though I won’t mind winning money from him. Haha, yes I know I’m strange.

There were bouts of drama this morning when I was awaken by my ex-maid jumping on my bed and handing me a red packet just as I was opening my eyes. Haha, it was nice to see her again. I’m sure everyone in my family agrees that she shouldn’t be a maid. She’s too smart to waste her time being a maid. My brother wants to hire her to work at his shop, but getting a foreigner to work in Singapore may take some heavy paper work.

Our sink got clogged in the morning and my mom was screaming from downstairs to call a plumber. I always thought that plumbers just came with a plunger and sucked out whatever shit was stuck in the pipe. But I guess I’ve never really seen a plumber at work before because this plumber brought along some weird machine. I have no idea how it operates but I was semi-dumb founded at my ignorance to stuff like this. Hell, there could probably be a new and improved way to put out fire and I wouldn’t even know about it.



Everyone got fed and stuffed with the heaps of food my mom had prepared, all the while nagging and mumbling about how everything was such a chore when she could have just fried a huge wok of vermicelli. But no, my mom is out to impress, with her popiah and other entrees that take eons to prepare.

There is nothing to watch on television except some stupid show about a dog and baseball on channel 5. My model cousin actually made an appearance today. I seriously doubt her status as a model. Which model wears transparent bra straps? If she was really a model, she should know that transparent bra straps-which further accentuate your shoulder fats and which are highly unflattering-ought to be done away with. She should have just bought herself a better bra with the money she earns, if of course she was a model.

Oh dear, I presume my presence, or therefore lack of it, has been noticed. Judging by how my dad is hollering for me, I better wrap up this entry for now and update it in the evening.

Haha, Yay I’m free from playing host! I think I’ve finally reach that point in life where I have developed a fear of eating popiah. I ate 5 popiahs by myself today, 3 for lunch and 2 for dinner. That’s a lot of popiah and I am now afraid to eat another popiah.

After chatting with my model of a cousin, I realised that modelling isn’t her full time job anymore. She is now working as a beauty consultant. Now that term seems really vague, so I guess it could be a rather decent job, or it could suck a lot. It’s probably the former because she seems to be having a pretty comfortable life, carrying Louis Vuitton, getting coloured contacts, having her phone decorated like Xiaxue, being able to afford all those maximizer bras of hers and having the money to afford the ton of makeup she wears. Of course the branded hand bag may very well be a pirated good, but let’s just assume it isn’t.

Here’s a photo of her, I think she looks nice in this photo.



As compared to this one, of course, she looks fat here. Now it’s up to you to decide if she is a model or not.



She blogs too! Here's an exercpt from her blog:

For the fact that I blog, I'm glad to express.
I'm not a person that can put my feeling to words easily.
perhaps sometime or most of the time, I'll just junk it in my mind.
throwing everything at the back of my head.
therefore whenever I has the chance to speak my mind, I may just bladder everything out,
regardless if it happy or sad. Then I guess if it a anger at the bottom of my heart

So yup, I guess everyone can pretty much gather she blogs like an "ah lian". Well she hides that fact about her pretty well because her blog mostly contains photos of herself and she actually talks without all the leh,lah,loh,hor. Or maybe that is just an act in front of the relatives. OR that she speaks mandarin most of the time. Haha. Either way, talking to her has led to me realise that she is at least 10 times better than the typical "ah lians". She's smart, just stupid enough to be seduced by money into stopping school after her o levels. Oh and if anyone is wondering whether she went for a nose job, I honestly don't know. I don't remember her nose looking so sharp, but to tell you the truth, I also don't really remember what she looked like when she was younger-haha. Maybe it's just photoshop, she doesn't look this good upclose.

The day was so-so overall. I met up with my old tuition teacher, my old maid and one of my mom’s generous friends. Haha, I got a nice fat red packet from her. Just as what I was told, I didn’t get to see my mom’s side of the family this year. That’s sixty dollar less. But its okay, I hardly interact with them anyway. Instead, my ex-maid gave me $10 and my ex-tuition teacher gave me $20! Haha so I guess that cuts my loss in half.

People started heading home around 3.00 in the afternoon, leaving only the adults who were playing mah-jong. I spent the rest of the second day of my Chinese New Year playing PS2 in my brother’s room. Haha, how sad is that.

Speaking of rooms, I really want to give my room a whole new look. I realise it looks nothing like what a teenager’s room should look. I have stuff toys from friends placed everywhere in my room. No wonder my relatives mistake my room for a guest room. I also have no idea what I have so many freaking books all over the place when I’m actually studying with notes!!! My first order of duty would be to remove all the stuff toys! Grr, I have to have the willpower to actually do something about it during the June holidays, I just HAVE TO!!!
