Yesh!! We finally finished watching winter sonata!! Yesterday sis and max decided to finish the last few episodes of the series at one shot. And I finally teared while watching winter sonata yesterday. Way way back while the winter sonata craze is in singapore, I heard so much review from frens that the show is very touching, they used up a lot of tissues watching the show. But throughout the show, I didn't find any scenes so touching that can make me cry. There are only scenes that made me so dulan that I swear. :p


Till yesterday... I just cant stop the tears from flowing down my eyes. I laughed so hard I cried. Haha.


We were watching the last few episodes and at some point, max got so frustrated he started spewing in hokkien (see, I am not the only one who got dulan watching the show). And so I said: u trying to do translation in hokkien ah??


And so me and sis tried to translate their conversations in hokkien but failed. So max took over and it was sooooo funny sis and I laughed till our stomachs ache and we were both tearing. Super funny, I tell you. Especially with all our bua tang zhui (half bucket full) hokkien standards. Especially funny were the translation of the names:


You zhen’s dad, Xian Xiu ~ Max didn't know how to translate Xian Xiu and sis said is Kiam Siew. I heard wrongly and I thought she said its Kiam Siap (hokkien for selfish).

Jun Xiang, 俊祥 ~ yandao Xiang

You Zhen, 有珍 ~ Wu Zhin

Xiang He, 翔赫 ~ Xiang Ho


A dialogue when Xiang He’s father was telling him the truth about Jun Xiang became like this:

俊祥不是先贤绣的儿子, 他是我的儿子!! becomes: Yandao Xiang mmh si Kiam Siap eh gia, ee si lim peh eh gia!!

既然俊祥心里还有有真, 有真心里也还有俊祥, 他们因该在一起 becomes: ki ran Yandao Xiang sim lai bin wu Wu Zhin, Wu Zhin sim lai bin mah wu Yandao Xiang, ee nang eng kai zo ji pu.


I think we can start translation services in hokkien already. Max told me: imagine you translate to hokkien in SCS. I told him if I do that, I will never need to serve as translator ever again. Haha.

winter sonata

Too much winter sonata = sleep late = lack of sleep = cant wake up in the morning = over slept :(


Sis borrowed the winter sonata vcd from Jez on Sunday and we have been watching it every night since Monday. Till now we have watched episode 9. 30+ more episodes to go. Its really takes a lot of self discipline to limit ourselves to watch 2 discs maximum every night, especially when the story gets more intrueinging and exciting. Waiting for Jun Xiang to regain his memory. I was telling sis and max, Jun Xiang not only lost his memory during the accident. There must be a big blood clot pressing his vision nerves, causing him to “bak jiu ta stamp”, to actually fall in love with Chailing. Goodness. Where is his high school intelligence??


Anyway, we watched the show till really pek chek because whenever Ming Heng and You Zhen seem to get better or have a chance to clarify, either the bitch Cailing or Xiang He will appear, thus spoiling their chances. I watched till I wanna spew vlugarities already. Haha. Like I was telling sis and Max yesterday, watch till sibeh dulan, but I still wanna watch. Haha. Guess this is the reason why this show is the no.1 drama in asia ba. :p


Never thought I’ll be hooked to the drama as I usually dun like to watch weepy weepy shows but I guess everybody loves to watch those type of lovey dovey fairy tale love story. Anyway, watching the show got me thinking... If you are You Zhen, will you:


Screw up your relationship with a man who loves you so much for someone whom you arent even sure is the person you have always been waiting for??
(of cos we know that Ming Heng IS Jun Xiang lah but at this point of the drama that I stopped, she doesn't know yet mah. And she can actually miss or forgot her own engagement reception for someone whom is not even real?)


And then it boils down to the most over asked question since 5000 years ago...

被爱幸福还是爱人幸福??

Without a doubt, 相爱是最幸福的lah. But there must be someone who starts first right? In the past, I would think被爱 is more幸福. But now, I think I will choose to爱人. WHY? Because only when you give, can you truely receive. So only when I start to give love, then will I receive love. Its time to start giving some love. And this not only applies to your partner. It applies to our family and frens and all living things around us, and most importantly, ourselves. Cos only when u love yourself, will you have love in abundance for others.


p/s: its going to be a bz bz weekend... am serving SCS... yesterday i nearly blacked out from the training... haha... no staminar... need to train liao :p

ready, steady, go

Ever notice how the terms we use for our other half changes as we grow older?


All the way back when we were still in sec school, when we were in our teens, where we were young, sweet and innocent, the common term use was STEAD (short form for steady).

Frens will term their boyfriends or girlfriends as STEAD (short for STEADY). Like...

“MY STEAD SAYS THIS, MY STEAD SAYS THAT”

Or

“DO YOU WANT TO BE MY STEAD??”

or

“要走STEADY吗?”

or the classic will be

“AI GIA STEADY MAI?? WO AI GIA GU GU EH, STEADY EH”

*

After some years, when we get past the teens stage, as evolve from an ah lian into a swanky young adult, we stopped terming our partners STEADY or STEAD. I guess that sounded too childish. We called our partners my boyfriend/girlfriend or my boy/my girl for short.

*

And after some years, when we enter the quarter of the century, we termed our partners our SO (Significant Other). I guess it because at this age, we are more or less looking for someone whom we can settle down with, and hence so we termed our partner as the SIGNIFICANT OTHER.


In my definition, in your life, you can have a lot of steads, a lot of BFs/GFs but only 1 SO. Cos you SO will be the one who will spend the rest of your lives together.


Till now, I still cringe when I listen to radio and some juvenile call in and want to dedicate the next song to my stead. Ewwwwww...

recorded phone operator system

Wah lau.. Somebody commented that I made 4 mistakes in my last post and that my post very chor lor with all the KNNBCCB. Hahaha.


Anywayz, have you guys seen the xmas light up along orchard? Its beautiful. But I haven had time to slowly admire it though. This year’s theme is enchanted forest (if I remember correctly) and the whole of orchard is decorated with golden streamers. I personally think its very pretty, especially the glittering trees with golden leaves placed along the roadside. :)


My office just installed a new phone system and my colleague was asking me to vet through the script which goes something like:


Thank you for calling XXX company. We are closed for the day. Our working hours are from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Thank you and have a nice day.


I read the script, found that’s its too boring so I added some spice to the it. Must be more innovative and creative mah. Right? ;)


Thank you for calling XXX company. We are freaking closed for the day. Our working hours are from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Next time, before you call, please check the bloody time. We here at XXX company are a dynamic bunch, we work hard, play harder and we have a LIFE. So please hang up the phone, go grab a beer, have a shag, GET A LIFE and DO NOT CALL BACK EVER. Thank you and have a nice day.

Thank you for calling XXX company. We are freaking closed for the day. Our working hours are from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. If you know the extension number of the person you are calling, please dial now. If someone answers your phone, you are a lucky bastard and you can go buy 4D. If not, then that’s too bad. Go get a life, stop working, go grab a beer, have a shag and DO NOT CALL BACK EVER. Thank you and have a nice day.

beef burger without beef pleeese

Was on the train this morning and was staring at the BK ads on the train.


The ad was something like, at BK, you can have it your way.
You can ask for more tomatoes, no pickles, more mayo... Something like customizing your burger.


And it strikes me... What if I walked in to BK and ordered:

Give me a whopper, no patty, more lettuce, more tomatoes, more ketchup, more mayo and more more more cheese pleeeeaseeeeee.


Actually I done it before lor... But not at BK. I ordered cheese burger without patty at mac. Sis told me she ordered mushroom swiss without patty. The other day I was at mac dee’s drive thru with my fren. I was very hungry so I told fren to order a cheese burger without cheese for me.

me: order a cheese burger without cheese for me
fren: u sure?? Sure can order lidat??
me: can la... I ordered before... Don’t worry
fren: sure or not?? What if the cashier tot I was fooling around and slapped me.. How??
me: wont la. U better order my burger for me else I will slap you cos im super HUNGRY!!!

After we got our orders,
fren: they never charge lesser ah. Very expensive leh for just 2 buns and a slice of cheese
me: next time ask them to pack the patty separately lah. Then u can eat the patty


Anyway...

I got cravings for BK now... Think I shall go BK and order whooper without patty. ;)
