A sense of familiarity

I have not seen him for a long time. Though it has only been a couple of years but it felt like decades.

Nothing much has changed. He still looks the same, except older.

Looking at him, memories of our past popped out like mushrooms. He's brought me a lot of happiness. I remember looking out from the window, waiting eagerly for his arrival. Upon seeing him, no matter how far or near he was, I would scream with happiness and rush to the door to welcome him....

He used to come to our home very often until one day, he stopped coming. Probably he has found other more interesting places to go to. I dunno. I never ask him... All i'm left with now is memories of our past....

That day, i bumped into him on the street while driving. Seeing him surrounded by many people, I kinda felt like rushing to him too...

Seeing people buying ice cream from him reminded me of the old days when he pushed his bicycle to our neighbourhood. His ice cream bicycle is very well equipped ~ a metal cooler which holds all the delicious ice creams, which cheer up kids and adults like me and an umbrella which keeps him out of the hot sun.

Everybody is happy to see him

For some reason, my siblings and i were very sensitive to his 'santa claus' bells. When we heard the bells, we would called out for him from far and wait by the gate for his arrival.

I remember, a cone with a scoop of ice cream was only 10c. My favourite was butter bun with 3 scoops of whatever flavour ice cream in the middle. It always lifted my spirit, and only for 50c!

Hmmm... I wonder if he still remembers me since i was one of his loyal customers back then? I wonder if the ice cream butter bun still tastes heavenly?

Hmm.. I shall try it the next time i see him....

苦中作樂

Mum is now in Xi'an having lots of fun with Jane and Helena.

Called them and i was told that mum is buying things as if they were free because the prices are v v low.... Am so envious! Why am I here and being tasked to water mum's plants and veggies every morning and evening while they are enjoying lives?! So unfair! Oh well, that's MY life :( But that's OK. I'm also having a good life here... because....

I have mum's organic veggies all to myself! I only harvest from the garden when I want to eat. So fresh that they make my crappy cooking tastes as if it was made by Michelin star chef :P

Fresh from the garden

Mum also keeps a lot of fruits in her fridge coz she is on a 'new' diet lately. Since she will be away for weeks, so am in charge to clear the fruits. And the fastest way is to eat them all together. *Lazy Jenn* So this morning (actually, every morning since she left), I made healthy juice....

Avocado + pumpkin + barley + rock melon

Gosh, Am so healthy and hardworking!! I haven't lived like that for so long! While Enjoying my healthy meal, I wonder...

Will they remember to get me presentS?

Long forgotten post

Went thru my 'blog post collection' and guess what? I discovered that I've forgotten to share this joke! This happened a few years ago... haha, very outdated but there is no expiry date on jokes right? hehe...

My friends were comparing wealth (as usual) over lunch the other day (many years ago). It's easy to tell that we are Chinese! Because we fight to be the 'poorest'. Chinese are sure low profile and humble when money is involved haha..... Today's society is full of thieves, we gotta be as low key as possible :P

That day, my friends were comparing wealth by judging on the Brand of glasses one wears. I don't wear glasses so I just sat and watched the actions. Words flew here and there and I moved my head left and right like watching some kind of a tennis competition. Suddenly, someone blurted out 'you wear BLURBLURRY!' *??(-.-)??* Everyone went silent after the remark. Is that a new designer? It's not possible that we've never heard of it....

Ooooo... He meant Burberry! *Laugh* *Still laughing* He said 'I'm a Foochow wat.....' Ookie, we have to accept his excuse. After all, he is the man who said he will put 'neng-kark' (instead of $) in angpows.

FYI, neng-kark = bra in Hokkien

Don't get excited guys. He meant Name Card ^^

Ahahahahahaha.....

No sleep

Me, at work now... but my mind and soul are in dreamland because am super sleepy! Zzzzz....

Me, sleep deprived... I have been sleeping late and waking up early since Friday night.... and because of that, last weekend felt sOOOOooOOOOooOOOOo long to me, like there were 48 hours in a day!

I don't mind the long day since all I did was eat and play... and the long day also means I have 'more' time to spend with my loved ones ^^

Jane & bro are in town...

Mum & dad surrounded by loving kids :P

Of course the side effect is having panda eyes @_@ but that's OK... because that means I don't have to spend time doing smoky eyes. I look sexy without any effort! *patting my eyelashes* Wah, that's one stone killing two birds because with the 'extra' time i get, that means I have even more time to eat and play!

OOoo hoo hoo.. i think I can live like this forever....

Tiger's favourite past time

Lately, I discovered that Tiger has a new hobby. I catch him playing with his balls everyday! He chases after them, licks them and chews them until they break into half *Oucchhh.... painful!!!*

Where did he learn to be soOOOoo violent?

It's not a bad thing that he is so busy with balls playing. Coz that means our shoes at home have longer lives ^^

This is how Tiger plays with his balls

*munch munch*

Balls so tasty

I know.... NOT sexy at all....

I didn't buy him any balls to play with coz many moons ago, I bought him a rubber hedgehog to keep him entertained. BTW, why is dog toy so expensive ah? He loved playing with Pinky. Oh, Picky is the name I gave to the rubber hedgehog because....

It is Hot Pink!

The next day, Pinky died because her body was half gone.. as if she got bitten by a shark while swimming in the deep sea T_____T i cried because that's money down the drain (& of course for Pinkie because she lived such a short life). Then the next day, Pinky totally disappeared! Poor Pinky.... She died without a complete body. Sorry Pinky... I didn't know I have a monster at home....

So, where did the balls come from?

My neighbour converted his garden into a concrete tennis court. I think he is coaching kids and adults coz i see different people dropping by every morning and evening. That's where Tiger's source of entertainment comes from. He picked up those tennis balls that flew over the safety fence and dropped at the roadside.

Psst, Tiger even keeps stock. Look where he keeps his balls!

Found Tiger's secret place
