It Runs In The Family, I Tell Ya

Inane conversation with my mom this morning.

me: my visa got approved.. phew!
mom: great! where will you be this time next week?
me: i dunno.. was thinking of making a trip to perth.. you want?
mom: can.. i don't need to apply for leave.. i'm very close to my boss..
me: i've heard that you sleep with him..
mom: shh don't talk so loud..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

And if anyone wondered why I am SO bo liao, now you know.

Anyway, my mom has picked up the "where will you be this time next week?" from me. So cute. I've been doing that to her all week long. And her boss is my dad (in case anyone was going "OMG?!") so don't worry. No scandals.

Whee!

Sometimes Wishes Do Come True

Happiness! Wild Pot will be putting mee siam and mee rubus back on their menu! After a 1 year 5 month hiatus, they have decided that the current menu needs a revamp, and are bringing back old favourites!

Be still, my heart!

When they took mee siam (actually I don't really care for the mee rubus) out of the menu in December 2009, Shiny and I were depressed. Mee siam was a staple breakfast item, and we bonded over countless of plates of the heavenly stuff. We'd always ask for extra gravy, slurp it all up, and 2 days later (mee siam used to be sold on alternate days), we'd be ready for it again.

Anyway, apparently mee siam will be on the menu next week. Next week! Whee!!!

My Google-Fu Is Really Quite Power One

I don't know why people are surprised when I email something that's different from the random links to funny articles, videos and all sorts of nonsense that I've digged up from the internet. If I know you have an interest in a particular area, and I come across something I think you'd like- I'll just forward it across. Or when we're chatting about a particular topic, and I pull out links that are related. No biggie, right?

Sure, majority of the stuff I send are either of the "WTF is that?!" or "Aww so cute!" variety. Or just really, really bizarre. After all, I am very bo liao. But ahem, I also do read quite a lot and have fairly varied interests, so just because I prefer talking about the inane doesn't mean I'm incapable of intelligent discussion, m'kay?

True Friendship Part 2

Was chatting with CH and told her about my upcoming work trip to India. And since Bangalore was one of the cities I'll have to visit, she actually offered to go with me so that I wouldn't have to be alone. Bless.

I'm so lucky to have such awesome friends.

I Hate Him

Hate hate hate hate hate.

True Friendship

Waah LGG is in Croatia now and saw a giant jar of nutella. Almost immediately she pinged to ask if I wanted it.

No need to ask! Of course I want!

Yaaaaaaaaaaay! *dreams of hugging giant tub of nutella to sleep*

It's A Tough One

Had dinner with Alvin tonight and he asked us a very interesting question: What are you most proud of?

LGG, Ching and I sat there pondering, and in order to buy some time, I threw the question back at him. "Saving someone's life," he said promptly. Apparently he saved someone from drowning many, many years back.

Well, it's easy to be proud of that, I guess. How many of us have literally saved someone's life? Ok lah, I change people's destinies in my job- but it's a function of my role, not a personal achievement that I was singlehandedly responsible for.

Honestly, I can't think of an answer to that question. It seems to suggest some struggle overcome, or a crowning glory won through hard work. Struggle? Hard work? Jialat lah, I don't think those words are part of my vocabulary.

It's something to think about then. I'm sure there has to be *something* I'm most proud of. Hmmm.
