Mdm woo thought that the sticker on my shoulder is a real tattoo.
I didn't she was talking about me with another colleague as they were speaking in cantonese, until she said mei mei [as in little sister] and raised an eyebrow in my direction.
[Sorry can't take a close up, its indecently hairy. So indecent it was making me blush,]
That butterfly which looks more like a scorched skin coloured with charcoal?
Haha.
I quickly explained that it was leftover accessory from last night's float parade.
Its a sticker don't worry, I just don't bathe frequently enough to wash it off.
The time I spent in the toilet with the running water sounds was just me trying to take pictures of myself playing with water.
Chingay is FINALLY over.
Whew.
Last night the float parade was held at Chinatown, a beautifully decorated place, to celebrate the end of chinese new year.
The few of us, Joyce and Nani, hung around in our full gear costume for about 3 hours doing nothing before the parade commenced.
Doing nothing includes posing with people to take photos and explaining what our outfits are about.
Most of the people who talked to us were old uncles who had quibbles with each other as to who could take pictures with us first.
There was an uncle who zoomed the photo to my face and showed it to me,
saying, 'You look better in close view. haha.'
No, I look fat.
I had to answer the same questions over and over and over and over.
Yes I AM Chinese. I am NOT malay.
Why would I lie to you can't you tell from my make-up that I'm chinese.?
Lets talk about something else other than my race okay?
And that bobbing waving person over there, where have I seen you before?
Oh, I just remembered, I waved to you two minutes ago,
and I said hi two minutes before that, and waved to you two minutes before that.
You think I wouldn't recognize your bobbing figure just because you shifted places?
It was funny how these people tried to get the best spot to take our pictures as our floats travelled two rounds on that road.
What did they want those photos on their handphones for?
They're going to delete it sooner or later with the poor resolution and lighting.
So in order to not waste the pain of having cramped cheeks,
I made it a point to only pose and look directly at professional looking cameras.
I think I got a few laughs for almost falling off-balance when the float jerked.
Standing at 4 meters high, I almost got decapitated by overhanging lights and poles which said,'height limit:4.5m'.
So exciting! I almost died!
My cheeks were still twitching when my papa came to fetch me with my mummy and brother.
My mummy totally spoilt my mood when she asked me why I always acted very eager to get married, in an accusing tone.
Where the hell did she get the idea from?
After some soul searching I realised that it was myself who promised her that I WILL get married by next year.
See I'm worried about passing my childbearing age without the chance of passing on my cute genes.
I'll be doing an injustice.
By the way I might be going to Hong Kong in a month or two.
During my stay there I sincerely hope I can find Andy Lau to make babies with me.
Ideally I want him to carry the baby in his stomach but I doubt he has an uterus,
so I'll have to make do and use mine.
Don't fret about me being an unwed mum.
I'll keep my child only until he turns into a smelly boy and then give him up for adoption,
or even an auction.!
Boys after the age of being small and chubby are not worth keeping anymore[just imagine the smell!] with the trouble they'll cause and porn sites they'll surf.
Ugh.
Yah my brother, he's going to be given away on his next birthday.
Any takers?
♥Bid Farewell
