Continuation......

haha, after some encouragement, i decided to pen down something to keep this blog alive.

I parted with what-$500 for my bike again today - 2 months worth of my stinking bike.

Anyway, i went to watch a getai today!! What an experience!! It was hosted by this "Wang2 Lei2" apparently touted as the brother of Hokkien Pop King "Chen2 Lei2". He was hilarious man, poking fun at all the singers that came on stage to perform. He made those crude jokes and lewd comments/actions which totally cracked the audience up, haha even the females regardless of age were laughing it off too!! i'm serious!! So please do not think that its a guy thing to appreciate these crude jokes with some sexual content. hahaha

The overall experience was great, seriously a must-have!! It was quite enjoyable but the standing from 1930 to 2300 was simply awful... by around 10, my feet felt as though there were going to disintegrate any moment. It must be due to my Plantar Fasciilitis and my stress fractures lar hahahaha.

Actually, Wang Lei was emphasizing that Getai nowadays had already evolved alot and its a culture of the chinese to stage one during the hungry ghost festival. It no longer a stereotype where uncles and ah peks who would be there to mentally rape those scantily clad female dancers. Now there is an increasing number of audience who's age range between 20 to 30s, who would go catch a getai every weekend. To add-on, there is an already steadily increasing number of performers who are in their late teens who would "pao3 tai2" every weekend.

It is no longer an event targeted solely at the "lao-yi-beis" and soon "catching getais" might become a trend in the new generation of Singaporeans.

In order to enjoy a Getai, one must satisfy the following prerequisites:

1. Understand Hokkien
2. Must be a heartlandish person
3. Must be able to stand for long hours unless you can get a seat
4. Must be appreciative of crude jokes and lewd comments

Once you meet the requirements, all you need is a light-hearted mood and just enjoy the show!!

Boring Day

Today is such a bad bad bad boring day. It marks the end of my long holiday but it also marks a highly anticipated milestone in my NSF life; 299 days more to my long awaited ORD. Muahaha

Haiz, nothing much happened today. Woke up, met Joey and Quek for lunch at bugis and we roamed the entire Sim Lim Square looking at LCD monitors. Apparently Quek was supposed to grab one today and it was the last day of discounts from the Post National Day sale BUT he decided to "chut stunt" and not get one.

Evening, had dinner at Simpang Bedok with Allan, Guo Xiang, Qing Wen, Eugene, Janis and Xiao Jun. haha Whilst ordering, i chanced upon this Tom Yam Soup menu again haha. It certainly brought back fresh reminiscence of that horrible Lotus Thai Express on saturday (applies to the four of us only)

Grrr its Sunday already!! Theres work tomorrow!! I had been sleeping consistently in the wee hours of the night over the extremely long weekend. Its going to be a short week too, I'm on leave on Wednesday and Thursday!! Hooray!! But on the otherhand, i got exams on Thursday :(

Revival Of My Useless Blog

I do not know what strucked me to revive this stinking blog of mine, well since I've decided, i'll religiously post on a daily basis.

Starting from this noon, i met up with kelvin for lunch and a "shopping trip"; we walked around Tampines !! The "long march" started from his place L&T bicycle shop to Tampines Interchange, to Tay Cycle and lastly dropping by SCH. It brought back nostalgic memories of me when i was still in sec 4 mugging for my history papers; Mao Ze Dong & Company who went on their long march around China to escape the relentless pursuit of the Kuo Min Tang.

Apart from that, that evening i met up with Allan, Guo Xiang, Qing Wen and Eugene joined us later for Rush Hour 3.

We initially wanted to try Astons; a extremely famous and cheap western food restaurant opposite Katong Mall, but when we saw the appalling queue, we decided to give it a miss.

Never did we know that we would venture along that street and chance upon this thai eatery. It was just barely one month long and thus we decided to give it a try. haha, the food was terrible!! You can ask how qingwen's white curry tasted like hahaha.

The movie, was totally hilarious. We were constantly kept on our toes by Chris Tucker's witty lines and sarcasm. haha, one of few movies which totally made me laugh so much!! Not to mention the customary kung-fu scenes, courtesy of Jackie Chan. Despite his age, he still managed to kick some butts in this movie.

Thumbs Up!! 9/10 for this movie!!
