Weird Neighbour

I think I should call my neighbour ECCENTRIC instead of just weird... and I would rarely get into trouble with my neighbour unless it was really necessary cos I had never done that for the past... erm... 27 years.

Let me share a short background about him first...

I suppose he's a bachelor since he is staying alone with a male tenant. He's about 30+ years old cos he dun look young to me (neither is he good-looking *pui*). He thought my mum stole his umbrella which he placed along the corridor during the 1st few months he shifted here (he asked my mum and my mum said no, and since then he had that idiotic attitude towards us). He's got the same Espirit Polo T-shirt as me (damn!). He would do his laundry during the weekend cos he would hang alot of boxers and underwears (think about a week's supply for each type) along the corridor on the laundry stand. He would pack his rubbish in small plastic bags and leave it outside his house occasionally (think he's staying at private estate and the rubbish collection car would bring his rubbish away). He never smile at either of us, except for my late father cos my mum told me he did (but his tenant does and I do smile back... thou I may look kinda "attitude" at times *haha*).

Okay back to the main point that trigger my decision to post something about him.

On 28 Jan 08, Shirlene came home after her work around 11pm odd. As she had forgotten to bring her house key, she had to knock on the door to get my mum to open the door for her. It could never be those kind of loud banging cos she doesn't have strong hands, and we all know that *haha*. Suddenly, that ECCENTRIC fella opened his wooden door and commented in English "Purposely knock the door so hard in the middle of the night, not the first time already, always like that". Hello, not the 1st time?! I think maybe got something knocked onto his head frequently bah... that's why he said "always like that"... how crazy can he get? He better dun try and ignite my fire... if not *clenched fist*... *haha* dun worry lah, there won't be any Joo Chiat incident here wan... I will be nice to him and "talk" some sense into his injured head if he starts his accusation the 3rd time.

Chinatown CNY Bazaar

I guess this year was the first time I went to Chinatown to buy stuff at the Chinese New Year Bazaar... and the lucky partner was none other than... my buddy Baoli~

It was "People Mountain People Sea" (人山人海) as you can see from the photo I took at one end of the bazaar. By the way, while I was holding my Nokia phone up high to focus on the crowd, Baoli was trying to get into the picture by jumping in front of me. But hor... due to the high position of the phone, I'm sorry that the picture didn't get any image of her cos I also didn't notice what she was trying to do until I noticed a figure jumping up and down at the corner of my eyes *haha*.

While we're doing our stall-shopping (not window-shopping in this case), I saw this puppet show going on... and I quickly took a picture of it. It was kinda eerie if u keep looking at the picture thou... think maybe cos of the puppets bah~

Well, I enjoyed myself although we had to squeeze with people at some point in time. Thanks buddy!

All thanks to the support from the following persons for making it happen:
  1. Shirlene (main supper motivator - almost a daily thing)
  2. Baoli (weekend food kaki and "slooowly" catching up with my weight *haha*)
  3. Adrian (without him, there's no supper at Geylang and everywhere else in Singapore)

The Dark Side

1st day of 2008 >>> had my fortune told by a man known as "Chen Shifu" (Master Chen)... heard he's kinda accurate in the thingy so decided to try for the 1st time in my life~ ended up the things that he said about my overall life and character were true... and he told me not to change my current job because it would turn out to be worse. I told him about my occupation eventually after he told me something about my interaction manner (kinda similar to what I am doing now) with my future kids (provided if I have lah) which would eventually end up bad for us, if I did not change it.

Then at the end, there was one thing he said about my current occupation "you only have two choices for your career, the Light or the Dark". He said what I am doing now is very suitable for me... but if I were to choose the Dark side, I would do even better... hmm~

I told the gang about it and all of us laughed. I told Baoli and Adrian about it and all of us laughed again... then the 4 of us (including Shirlene) started to think about what kind of Dark business I can venture into because we were driving along Geylang looking for a carpark lot to eat the beancurd there... so here were the posts that we came up with:

Me >>> The Boss (behind the scene type)
Shirlene >>> Marketing and PR (cos Chen Shifu said she enjoys talking and should go into Marketing line)
Baoli >>> Purchasing Department (her current expertise so she's the best person to import some "products" from overseas)
Adrian >>> Photographer (his interest), Bouncer (his size), and recently added Market Surveyor (err... Baoli said he can test the products before she "ship" them over *haha*)

Well, this went on for quite some time and whenever we passed by Geylang, we would start talking about our new venture... saying which area to set up, which building to buy over and what type of promotions to use, etc. Then the 4 of us would laugh and laugh while discussing the details and can you imagine how nonsensical we can be? Anyway Baoli suggested posting about our new ideas in my blog so that we can look back at our nonsense as the time goes by *hehe*

By the way this is the location that we had been interested in...
