In order to get distracted..

I went to Orchard Road today to meet a friend and we went to Far East Plaza(FEP) where Singaporeans claimed it to be the Singapore Sungai Wang Plaza.. The reason is, I cannot stay in my singapore house as I will really think too much.. I need some distractions.. There are many small little shops in FEP and are sold in affordable prices (compared to those high end brands along Orchard Road).. I didn't plan to buy ANYTHING but ended up overspent..
-
I bought 2 dresses, 2 leggings, 2 long necklaces, The little Nyonya DVD series (singapore famous drama), 1 blouse, 2 story books and 4 packets of tissue from an old lady that cost me s$2.. and oh.. not forgetting the lunch, tong sui and dinner as well...
-
When you are not in a very good mood and you wanna get yourself distracted, NEVER GO OUT OF YOUR HOUSE IN SIGAPORE THINKING U WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING especially during this GREAT SINGAPORE SALE..
-
ITS A BAD IDEA!!! BAD HORRIBLE IDEA....

-

p/s: I dont know how long I can take this but 2 days seem like 2 weeks long.. I miss you..

Interesting people..

I was working my way up to Shanghai and it was a day flight..

As usual, smile on your face for my kind of job is a MUST YES thing.. Passengers were restless and hyper, many demands were attended..

-

An elderly couple (confirmed above age 50) looked at me and smile at me after I served them their hot chinese tea.. I strike a friendly conversation with them and got to know that they just came back from a holiday at Bali.. I told them, I wanna go Bali too but time doesn't permits..

-

After meal service, elderly man signaled me.. I went to them and they told me that they really enjoyed the flight and that me and my colleagues have provided an extraordinary good service and they trully appreciate it.. I told them thank you and felt so proud..

-

Elderly man told me they wanna take me as their god-daughter.. I AM PLEASENTLY SURPRISED!!! This is definitely something very very new for me.. They told me i spoke really good mandarin and that they really like me alot.. I told them i am really honoured..

-

Elderly lady passed me a piece of paper with her fine chinese writing with her house address, names of them both and their contact numbers.. I was still stunned with whats happening and dont really know how to react.. They told me to keep in touch with them and asked for my numbers.. I gave them my numbers and also email address and she said that she can ask her daughter to drop me an email as they are going to Shanghai to visit her.

-

I went back to work with the piece of paper on my hand.. Delighted.. I've never felt so appreciated since I started this work.. I am thrilled that now I have god-parents from CHINA.. wahahahaha.. But after much thoughts, I decided to go back to them and give them my malaysia address.. They told me they love to write and wouldn't mind to write letters to me.. COOL!!!

-

We briefly talked about our family and both of them have a pair of children (a male and a female)who are older than me and happily married. At least, I know this is not another passenger who's trying to match make me with their son. Phew.. They even showed me the picture of my new 'sister' and invited me to go to their house to stay, if I ever travel to that part of China.

-

It was really cool and although I have came back from Shanghai and resting in singapore now, I am still excited about the whole thing. But I dont really know what I should do.. Should I wait for them to call or should i take the initiative to contact them.. Since they wanted me to become their god-daughter, i think I should just stick around and see what happens..

-

I have CHINESE god-parents.. I have a reason to go CHINA for holiday.. wee....

-

p/s: I am still stunned by the fact that the self-proclaimed King of Pop, the late Michael Jackson has passed away due to cardiac arrest.. I'm not a big fan of him but definitely appreciate some of his music works.. He was only 50.. He achieved so much, yet hasn't achieve many other things that he can in the future.. This teaches me a lesson, money is not everything and it definitely can't buy u life. Whats the point of having so much money, but u can't bring them with you when u pass away? Rest in peace, Michael Jackson..

funny facts..

Although my homesick desease is still very very serious after staying in singapore for almost 1 year now.. i can't help but to thank god on the opportunities i have to travel around the world and to see different culture.. Its pretty much a culture shock most of the time but i list them as fun facts around the world for now:

-In Dubai, female sits at the front portion of the bus and males have to sit at the back portion of the bus. If you are a couple, u have to be seperated throughout the bus journey. Unless you are married (and carries your marriage certificate with u), husband can stand beside wife while she sits. Male and female sitting together is a big NO NO... When the bus has no females at all, male can occupy the front portion of the bus. But, once theres a female on board, the males have to move your ass..

-In USA, after you have finished the mouth-watering fattening-ass meal, you ask for the bill. At the bottom of the bill, there will be a tipping guide where they will 'politely' ask for tips which 5% of your total bill is the most basic you 'should' give. Most common, 5%, 8% and 10%. I dont know what is the consequences of not tipping but its definitely a 'must do' culture in USA.

-In EGYPT.. unlike USA, they do not have tipping guide.. But they are more daring! Whatever service you hire that involves a local, at the end of the day, the local will not leave u alone unless you tip that person. If the local thinks that tip you gave is too low, that local will have no problem telling you that, he/she wants more.. So, if you want to sight see in Egypt, prepare to spend a fortune just to tip the locals.

-In Holland, prostitution and drugs are LEGAL! When you walk on the streets of the famous 'Red District', there will be pretty babes winking at you behind the windows of the 'shops'.. Even during winter season, they will be wearing only sexy lingerie and flirting with their eyes to the passer-bys.. There are cafes selling weed coffees 24-7 and they sell weed seeds and sex toys in souvenior shops..

ok, thats all for the moment as I'm abit bored facing the computer for almost 3 hours in the hotel room, stuck in Johannesburg.. I'm 6 hours behind Malaysia and singapore and I just can't wait to go home.. Its tiring but its all worth it..

Till the next funny facts.. adios!

P/s: PSP or nintendo ds lite? OR should I get a digital camera 1st as I can't find my missing PENTAX digital camera after almost 2 months already...
