Waaaaaooowwww!
I came back from Johor. Actually, I came back on the same day I left, so it was a one-day thing. The whole causeway was full of idiot drivers who wanted to cut the queue but then the traffic police was there, so they got in trouble. So, me and my cousins and my uncle killed time by counting how many of the stupid drivers were there. So, we reached there at 10 but the shopping centre full of pirated DVDs and games and cheap stuff were closed, so we had to go to another shopping centre which was full of women's clothing, so that my mother and her auntie could shop till they drop. After that blah blah blah went to the shopping centre to find out that all the CSI DVDs didn't have any stock, and the guy wanted my father to buy Alias, which he pronounced as 'Ee-lias' instead of 'Ay-lious'. Bought a couple of movies. I wanted to buy Emily Rose and my father agreed but somehow he didn't buy it. My brother got this 50 Cent movie. Then, we went to the game shop to buy PS2 games. I bought a PC game called The Movies! Yes! It's like Sims 2, except that you control the studio and the directors and the actors, everything! So, went to eat at this place called Sedap Corner when suddenly, my brother made up the most unfunniest joke ever! He said, "What if we put an 'o' in between 'r' and 'n' in corner?" It took me about 30 seconds to figure out that it meant 'coroner'. I mean seriously, if he said that when he's doing stand-up comedy, he's going to get egged! After that, went to shop for clothes. My mother was questioning my taste. There was this white shirt that had matrix-like thingys falling down the sleeve. I liked it, but my mother was like, "It looked like my cat just ate a ball of yarn and spitted it out!" And the size was so difficult. I tried on the M size and it was too small, so I tried on the L size and it was too big. So what am I? XM? In the end I bought two baggy L shirts which didn't have matrix-like thingys falling down the sleeve. I also bought a wallet. That place was a 100 times better than Tampines Mall. I mean, seriously, and their store design is so cool. The shop that I shopped in had an ice-cream truck as their cash counter. Went back. My cousin kept on bugging me to let him listen to my music, so I let him. He was laughing at Confessions of a Broken Heart because Lindsay Lohan kept on saying "Daughter to Father!". He then asked me what kind of song La Tortura is, so I said that it was an Arab song and he believed me. Kids can be conned in many different ways I can tell you.
Came back at 8. Tried Movies which was super cool. Slept through the countdown. Woke up realising it's 2006. Cried because it's my O Level year. My New Year's Resolution will be to be a robot when I'm in school. I am so going to process every single word that comes out of the teacher's mouth and write it down in my notebook.
Anyway, we went to my auntie's house to celebrate the new year and my cousin's b'day (28 Dec). Went to Tampines first to pick up the cake. I was hungry, so I wanted to buy Old Chang Kee, which made my parents go 'Ewwwwww'. She thinks it's non-halal, even though there's a halal cert right in front of the sneeze-guard. Then it was like me and my brother vs. my parents. In the end we won thanks to me because my father bought fries and I refused to eat it. I hated fries anyway. So my mother gave me $5 to spend on whatever I wanted. My brother asked me to buy a curry puff and one breaded prawn stick. Why I blog about irrelevent stuff I really do not know!
Reached there. My mother and my auntie went for, what we call a makeover at the salon. They came back with their hair shortened. My mother looks really weird. She has her hair super curly and short, which isn't really nice. But everyone had to say that it was nice. Had to leave at 8.30 because my mother's Indonesian soap opera was on at 9. It was kind of funny and very soapy. But those people talk so fast that you hardly understand them. Thank God for subtitles.
School starts tomorrow. Bye, fun!
