Dance prac has been cancelled at 745am in the morning, while I was in the midst of putting on my concealer. Because I wear dailies, I am now walking around the house with contacts. And I cannot go back to sleep so why not update!
Gold Coast was nothing was awesome. It felt so darn good to leave for two weeks and just busk in the sun and everything Australian. But you have no idea how many Singaporeans we saw there. Its no surprise because we see tons of them there all the time anyway. What was annoying was how they were so bloody embarrassing. I have countless stories.
So my brother and I came to a point where if people asked where we were from, "OH WE'RE FROM MALAYSIA". Hahahaha. Just kidding. I know we ourselves are Singaporeans and that you shouldn't be embarrassed. But... you know how sometimes your own people behave in suuuch
cheapskate & kiasi manners that you really just don't wanna be associated with them?
Take for example, Sea World. You take a log ride with the knowledge that you WILL GET WET. This Singaporean family took their umbrella out as they were coming down the slope and the huge waves were about to crash on them. Fine if you wanna avoid the huge waves. But to continue holding it all the way back to the exit as the boat makes its way there? No cool. So not cool.
And then there were two families at the Hard Rock Cafe store. Don't ask me why it was a coincidence that both sides of the counters were Singaporeans, and both sides were arguing over particular discounts and free gifts. One side kept telling the guy that a 10% discount is "not enough". I overheard because the Australian guy told them to hold on after he noticed me standing behind them with my shirt, waiting and waiting for the darn couple to be done being cheapskate. Needless to say, Singaporeans also talk very loudly, like they're the only ones on earth, and so we realized that the other Singaporean family was not happy with their free gift because the Australian girl attending to them had to tell them that she could only give them free gifts that the company had allocated. Again, not cool.
I have more stories. But I shall keep them to myself. I'd rather not embarrass our nationality any further.
On a happier note, the trip was goodgoodgood! There were more cute guys than pretty girls but we were there at the period where the Schoolies were on their graduation break before starting university. On most of the nights we spent at Surfers having dinner, we saw a lot rowdiness because groups were hopping from club to club, people were getting high and so many wanted to high-five us while they were on their way to club while we were on our way home. I also presumed this girl broke up with her boyfriend cos her friends were giggling at her while she was squatting in the middle of the path way at Surfers in her dress and heels and was screaming this at the ground, "YOU BITCHHHH! YOU BROKE UP WITH ME YOU M***** F*****!!" That was such a funny moment because EVERYONE was looking at her.
My parents also tried to convince my brother & I to move to Brisbane after I start work. Or at least let
them move there when they retire. "You and Korkor invest in a house, then we can come here during the holidays and rent it out when we're not around". Lemme start work first. But it doesn't sound like a bad idea cos we visited so many property agents around the area and talked to them in detail. I have no clue why my dad is so keen. Maybe because Penang is now out of the question since there are always landslides. Landslides = unsafe for retirement.
Now that I'm back, I'm busying myself with meetups, dance prac, smu's patron's day meetings and obviously, catching up on my chinese shows and husbands. Forgive me glo, but 羅志祥... OH-AM-GEE. I CANNOT TAKE IT. Damn 帅. I really never ever fail to laugh. He's really such a natural host, actor and entertainer. Just give me high five, cos I know you agree. NOW!! If I count, I've been following him since that album with the long hair before he changed music companies 3 years ago. You know the album where he sang with 小S, 戀愛達人? OMG. I cannot take it. I must meet him! I must dance with him! Let's go for his concert when he comes to Singapore okay! We missed the previous one! Now I don't care if I sound like an ah lian (because I'm an inner ah lian), but 羅志祥 is my 唱跳天王老公! I don't careeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! OMG CANNOT TAKE IT.
Watch this:
