Revenge of the Cleaning Lady

The other day there was a crisis in my apartment. The toilet paper ran out and the cleaner forgot to replace. Lucky can still use tissue paper. To prevent further crisis I call Housekeeping and ask them for a toilet roll. The next day I found 3 rolls of toilet paper on the bathroom counter.

Me: I think the Cleaner beh song me.

Happy Zhong Festival

After the accident of leaving 6 pomelos at home during New Year (which resulted in my family hating pomelo now) I was real careful to check the fridge before I leave. Despite that I still forgot to bring my Nyonya Dumpling from Lion City. Now I am dumpling-less on Dumpling Day.


BUT Luck has it, my Taiwanese Colleague bought me a dumpling from his hometown. Lucky I still have a dumpling after all.







Happy Dumpling Festival everyone!

Karaoke

In the spirit of immersing ourselves in the Kimchi culture, Rain and me decided to go Karaoke. We are suppose to go to the famous Karaoke that Kim Sam Soon went. Unfortunately due to my famous sense of direction or the lack of it, we end up at some Karaoke that we found somewhere. .
Despite everything we were very excited until we saw the remote control.





You'd think they are asking me to fly a spaceship.


Me: Control Tower this is CX123 ready for takeoff, over.

Eaten Sock

The other day Rain found a note in her shoe.



All things can happen in the Palace

After I stopped laughing, I gotta admit, they are honest people. Anyway, the pink sock came back the next day. Maid manage to recover it from the bowels of the vacumn. Eek. I guess we have to boil it in hot water and nuke it in the microwave to make sure it's disinfected.

Oven II

The in-coming oven resulted in a lot of complicated reaction and beyond the scope of this blog. The Kangaroo entourage touched down Saturday and has already started the food orgy and shopping spree. Curious I asked Cow about the oven. Surprisingly it didn't make the journey to hometown. Why geh?


Cow said, " Mum told aunty that the oven will be tax by custom.."




I love my mum!

Oven

The house was pretty excited with my uncle's impending visit from Kangaroo Land. This time the family matriarch decided to tag along. Uncle said she is bringing a gift along.

It's an oven.
A big oven that can cook a big big big turkey.

Uncle explained ' Your grand-aunt said - Might as well make use of the baggage allowance of 30kg.'

Me : Oh God.....

Cousin Rain 's mum said she met Cousin Storm in the market and Storm mentioned that she had a chat with Rain over the web call. I 'ke poh' asked what they talked about here.

Rain said, ' Storm told my mum, Rain is well and Piggy is fat.'

Me : I think she meant I am well geh.....(-__-")
