HelllOOOoo from Singapore

gosh, i have not been writing my blog for more than 2 months! i was busy with packing, unpacking, looking for new apartment and everything...then after unpacking, i was busy with my family and then business travel...

everyone asks me how is Singapore? do you like Singapore more or shanghai more? well, my answer will be different depending on who i am talking to...if to a Shanghainese, i will say, it's ok but shanghai is more convenient minus all the air pollution and traffic jam. If i am talking to a Singaporean, i will say, it's good coz now i can enjoy clean air and good traffic.

the other day, we went out for durian and met a taxi uncle..he said he knows a good place for durian and it's his friends...so he drove for really long time and dropped us off at a weird place..anywhere, there was no more cat king durian, only left with unknown species. coz my sister and brother-in-law wanna eat, so we ordered two...actually quite expensive and almost at the same price as cat king durian...the first one was ok..it was a lower grade..then the other one was supposed to be higher grade than the first one. After the durian vendor cut opened the durian, the texture didnt look so tempting..but he kept saying that one was good..so i said loudly that it doesnt look tempting and it looks like the meat is hard...like the last one, it was also hard and we dont like it..then the durian vendor felt guilty and gave us half durian for free... my sisters were laughing at me, saying that i complain like Singaporean, talk as loud as shanghainese and not as nice like hong konger... haha..well, one gotta survive out there, Right? somemore, we got half durian for free...isnt that good?

then a few days later, i took my mum out for some fish dumpling which she loves so much...she always like to order just fish dumplings in soup. when we arrived at the store..my mum ordered the usual plus the fish dumplings in soup..then the lady vendor told my mum off saying she doesnt have enough fish dumplings. if wanna order, she can order fish balls...then i looked at that lady and said, in that case, we do not want the soup anymore. We want to eat fish dumplings, not fish balls! then my mum kept asking me not to complain and she wanna have the soup..then i purposely told my mum not to order fish ball coz that is not what she wants to eat. After a while, the lady said she can order fish balls & fish dumplings in soup and explained to my mum that she doesnt have enough fish dumplings. in case other people come, she may not have enough. well, she could have said it nicely in the beginning.... so after a few days consecutively, the lady let my mum ordered as much fish dumpling as she wants...

my mum told my dad about the story and my dad said...he thinks i am right. hahaha...

there is a saying: 不哭的小孩没糖吃~~~
