Was walking to my van at my carpark when i heard 'excuse me' ..there were these 2 ladies who have been washing a car opp my van. The following conversation took place(in mandarin cos they're er..chinese)
The ever-helpful ZXL : Yes, can i help?
Car-washing ladies : Can u help to drive this car to the car-washing bay? (which is 2 lots away) It's very squeezy here and too dark to wash the car..i dunno how to drive and am just helping a friend to wash the car..
The amused ZXL : Err..ok..but what about after you washed the car? I'm going off in a while..
Car-washing ladies : Then we'll just leave the car there!
The 'summon-expert' ZXL : But u can't park there, u'll kena summon!
Car-washing ladies : Then we'll just get someone else to park the car when we're done washing!
The even-more-amused ZXL : er..ok lor..

Met junior after the looooongest time..4, 5 years? Still look the same i must say(both me and her) Filled each other in on the past few years of our lives over a 'drink-forever-also-haven-finish' banana milkshake last week..
Her life has been..in a way, very 'predictable'..which was exactly how i imagined it to be..graduate from uni with an accountancy degree..work in a big 4..be an accountant..
My life..is..in her words..'wahh..so exciting hor! Travel, work in theme park, setting up own company'..(yes, as well as trying to make ends on a measly pay each month)
On a whim, we decided to go cycling..at 830pm on a sat nite(as if i didn't have enough of cycling)..one thing tat didn't change after all these years - we still do the stupid-est, boliao-est things when we're together..
Junior went on to lament that her life is so boring as compared to mine and her brother's(he who gave up a high-flying finance career to be a counsellor/teacher) She wanted to do something else..something different..something tat's 'jaw-dropping'..indeed, in the 15 years i know her, she's never done anything really jaw-dropping..And then, she casually mentioned: 'i wanna open a yong tau foo stall'
Wow! Indeed..to hear tat coming from her is jaw-dropping enough..of cos, immediately i tried to convince her how i can be her best yong tau foo seller..having accumulated years of experience as a yong tau foo-eater..
So..the next time u see me helping out at a yong tau foo stall..contain ur jaw..******************************************************************************
Was lunching the other day with a colleague at a hawker centre..when my colleague spotted a fren and started chatting away..while i continued chomping away on my fishball noodles..when i felt a pinch on my arms *ouch* i looked up to see my long-time-no-see uni fren..who happened to be the wife of the fren..so 'qiao'..Haven seen her in years too..still look very much like the hello kitty(the cat with no mouth) fan she was back then..although she has since switched allegiance to miffy(the rabbit with a 'X' for a mouth)..
Seems like this is the season for finding back long lost frens..
