Mission Failed *loud beeping red sign*

Saturday. was pumped and energised for a good day of shopping.

Tiffy’s mission?

To get that flowly comfy pretty Valley Girl skirt. It was quite obviously a simple mission but…they don’t stock it anymore.

So off I went dragging chaboh to every other clothes store…found a reallie pretty black sequined chiffon/silk skirt at Roads but…ahem, price was a bit too steep for me. It was shop after shop after shop. Until chaboh said “hungwy”.

Actually, at that point in time I’d given up hope and was disappointed beyond belief. I dunno why I felt so strongly about it. I guess I’d set my heart on getting it and so…yeah. Neways, so we had Taka’s at Shafto Lane…hehe, chaboh was a bit wary of whether I knew the place or not (her stomach was rumbling at that point u see)…and to be honest, I wasn’t too sure where it was. And so I guessed it was the turning after king st and sure enuf there it was, quaint and lovely in its shade of trees and brick pavements.

While taking a break from lunch with our pink sobs a couple of African Americans hovered around us…saying “Aw man!! They got chicken wings here, we went to KFC and they ain’t got no chicken wings, yo girls, can we have sum? Just this one?”

me and chaboh looked at each other, we din noe whether to laugh or roll our eyes. So finally they left us alone…but this other dude kept on talking to us like we couldn’t speak English. When u think about it, they’ve been at sea for 5 months together and haven’t seen another soul during dat time…so I guess it’s pretty normal to say hi to every single person you meet after such an ordeal rite??

neways, they were reallie nice blokes to talk to. All they wanted was to talk to ppl they’ve never seen before. Eg. Asians. *rolls eyes*.

so neways, we told them we were Malaysians and they were like

no way!!! Aw man! We just came from m’sia. Aw man, y’all got stinky water, stinky stinky water. And y’all dun care about your pedestrians, man we were trying to cross the pedestrian walk, and maybank was there and Citibank was there and man y’all don’t care about your pedestrians. And y’all got this stop signs dat says…man wat was it? It started with a B…

at which point tiffy interjects and says ‘Berhenti?’

a big yeah!! And finger pointing at me ‘dat’s it’. Big grins and smiles all around.

me and chaboh jus looked at each other and were like ‘uh huh’.

but they were reallie nice. Jules is only 19 and he’s from LA, the crappy part, he was jailed 6 months before he turned 17 (involved in an arm robbery u see) and both his brothers were either drug dealers or involved in a gang bang. Whatever that means…I heard him say dat a lot. It was reallie hard to catch wat he was saying when this other dude Kodak (he was the cute one) was talking loudly to chaboh and this other dude, dunno his name, mumbling to himself in the background.

after they left me and chaboh just burst out laughing…and we were still laughing when we reached Kookai.

A big thank you to cheh for giving me the Romeo & Juliet tics. It was brilliant. Went wif Mun, as per usual moi was late, so me, mun & tat were in the car rushing like krazie (kinda like amazing race in a sense hehe, all of us needed a light to calm down)...it was my first ballet in wat...4 yrs. when we got there, the usherer was like ladies, they're about to lock upstairs quick quick. so me and mun scrambled up the stairs in our heels n made in time...

the seats were not too flash but the company was good ;p n so was the music...romeo''s ass was a bit too big for my liking n he seemed reallie heavy. mun reckons it's the strangest interpretation of romeo n juliet ever reason being:

1) Juliet's mum was indian n her relatives wore star trek like costumes (black leather fr head to toe with a cape!!)

2) The priest n Anna (juliet's maid or wat do u call it? lady-in-waiting?whichever) wore um...jap kimonos & anna had chopsticks in her hair....even the church was very zen like. no kidding.

3) it was not in the least tragic!! me n mun were hoping for a good cry but...um, mercutio's death was dragged on and on whilst romeo & juliet couldn't wait to kill themselves!!!

4) the music was too upbeat (hence the lack of tragedy)

5) Romeo was a bloody sissy!

we saw romeo after the show, real name Milos sumthin...he looked sooo good in real life, in his jeans n adidas jacket...a real hottie i tell ya. hehe, we realized dat he din look so bullky up close cos he wasn't wearing his...white tights (he has the biggest roundest tush i've ever seen!for a guy dat is). all in all we had good fun. thx so much cheh for the tix!!! lotsa hugs & kisses.
