Mighty Mouse

My friend has a cage of 3 greying hamsters which he wasn't allowed to bring to his new chichi apartment. He asked if I could take the poor little things under my wing at Jalan Tenaga. To which, of course I refused. I'm not fond of animals of any kind.

To make his case stronger, he proposed that if I met with any danger, these hamsters would turn into Mighty Mice and fly out of their cage (with cape flapping behind their backs) to save me.

The imagery cracks me up no end.

P/s The picture above is not a hamster.

Infamous

Can't believe this! I was checking my blog tracker and realised I have a lot of visitors from football forum pages. They were particularly drawn to the Chester City section. From the looks of the threads, they were highly amused.

Check them out here, here and here.

To the Chester City fans, *waves from the sunny shores of Singapore*! I was trying to highlight how well equipped your club was. In comparison, the teams in our local football league have much room to improve.

I had a great time at your stadium. It was a unique experience that few of my friends will encounter. Hope I will have a chance to visit again :)

Speaking Of Fangirls...

Will The Real Chowchow Please Stand Up?

(Edit 14 Jul: Scroll down for answer...)

Throw in your guesses, everyone!

Chowchow is in the second picture. The first one is Lee Serene. We are said to look alike. Here's a picture of us together :)

For Silky & Straight Hair, Walk Straight Ahead

As seen on my bottle of Herbal Essence Dangerously Straight Silky & Straight Conditioner -

Use me: Massage me in, rinse me out, walk straight ahead.

The Chow Sisters: 失恋篇

Baby Chow came home one day with a solemn face. She put down her bag, change out of her dress and put on rubber gloves. Then she took a broom and swept the floor with zest, filled up a pail of water and cleaned the toilet furiously and stacked up the routine mess in her room.

We couldn't understand the sudden eagerness to help out at home, for she was usually the princess who does little.

As as she wiped the tiles in the bathroom, tears starting streaming down her face.

原来是失恋了。 

Mourning

A family which mourns together, bonds together.

P/s My Mum is addicted to Youtube for its vast bank of MJ videos.

别相信男人的话

我告诉妈祥烊的睡眠品质差, 常睡足8小时却还感觉疲累。或许是工作压力太大，或枕头床褥不适和，或其他原因。

他说只有我陪他睡，他才能真正休息。

妈说： “男人的话你也相信？！”

妈妈的话真有道理。

What's Your Reason For Not Exercising?

In an effort to get my Mum, the only sedentary person in the family to work out, I invited her to join me at my company gym.

After 6 half hearted minutes on the cross training machine, she decided to stop because "the gym was spooky".  I was training at the pool, in plain view from the gym, with at least 20 other colleagues. How spooky could it be?

Lol. Excuses, excuses.

She said, "I think I'll sign up for a yoga package." Let's see how that turns out.

Reliving

Met up with some ex-colleagues last night and as usual, we were reliving the funniest moments that got us laughing till we were gasping for breath.

On Vietnamese beauties

D: I heard Vietnamese girls from the North are pretty. The Southern ones, not so. So which part are you from, M (our Vietnamese colleague)?

M : The central part.

D: Oh, no wonder.

M looked incredulous. The rest of us goggled at D in disbelief, What?!!

On Koreans

M: Has anyone seen the Korean? Has anyone seen the Korean?

J: What Korean? Have you seen C? He's in the other room! (We had a Korean colleague.)

M: What are you talking about? I'm asking about the Korean who delivers documents to us!

M was actually talking about the courier.

On Italian chapels

Me: I may be going to Europe with my boyfriend and his family next autumn.

A: I think the parents are planning to make you marry their son in Europe! Imagine passing by a cathedral in Rome. They'll push you in and lock the doors. They will even prepare the gown.

Me: What?!

A: Just double check their luggage before you leave for Europe. Make sure there's no dubious white dress in their luggage!

An Inane Conversation

Male colleague 1 (on the phone): Ok set. Let's go for bak kut teh tomorrow. (Put down phone)

MC 2 (to MC 1): Why you never ask me?

MC 1: Ok la, now I ask you lor. You want to join us?

MC 2: I don't care. You should have called me.

MC 1 picked up phone. MC 2's phone rang.

MC 2: Hello, MC 2 speaking.

MC 1: Hey MC 2, we're going for bak kut teh tomorrow. You wanna go?

MC 2: Ok!

*I rolls eye* MC 1 and MC 2 are married men with children aged 1-4.

A Night In Crush

Some old photos. An old story that we like to repeat.

To get the creative juices flowing, the Creatives like to move around the office to brainstorm. One night, my desk became the creative corner for KP. And he absent-mindedly left his jacket at my seat.

The next morning, I cheekily took the jacket back to him and said aloud, "You left this at my place last night."

That comment made all the guys around to look at us in wonder. LOL.

More photos taken on the same day.

波 vs 波

Despite having subscription to the Sports channels, the Gruu (G) sometimes watches the matches outside with his friends. The Queen (Q) likes to question:

Q: 你去那里?

G: 和朋友看波

Q: 哪里看波?

G: Geylang lor

Q: 看大陆妹的波?

(波 means ball. Which the Cantonese also use to mean boobies.)

Dammit.

Dancing With Boss

Update 14 Aug : Boss told me that his legs ached for two days after dancing. Haha.

Recently, our Creative Director got promoted to Managing Director. He was very excited about his new post and started giving motivational talks and organising bonding activities.

He organised Club Night on National Day eve. But response was lukewarm. Partly because he's not popular with his Creative team. And mainly because my Creative people are not the party type, contrary to what you may think. They're the staid movie-goers (my movie kakis!), bowlers, pool players. Once, a freelancer asked in disbelief, "Don't you guys party at all?" But we're a bunch of guai kias and don't do what other agencies do.

Since his team was not supporting him, the suits (including me) had to go la to humour him. I might sound reluctant but the Partygirl in me got pretty excited. I hadn't danced in a while!

Once we stepped into Butter Factory just across the road, my cells started dancing and I jiggled to the music. It was apparent that the dancing diva in me couldn't wait to jump out of my skin! But it was only ten pm and the dance floor was empty, although people were surrounding the floor with drinks in their hands.

After a few drinks, my MD sashayed towards me and said, "Mel! Let's go dancing!" He then grabbed my shoulders and pushed me to the empty dance floor! I couldn't be more mortified.

Dammit. I had to be gracious about it. Besides, he was already rocking to the music, lost in his own world. So I psyched myself to forget the eyes on me and forced out my dancing soul, praying that people would join us once they saw us on the dance floor.

Twenty minutes later, we were still the only ones dancing. The old man was sweating and panting already. Then my colleagues came to announce that they were leaving the club. I took that as a cue to exit the dance floor and leave the club immediately.

Dammit. The Creative will tease me no end for dancing with their boss on Monday.

Baa Baa......

I can't decide which poster is more hilarious. Watch the trailer - it's so bloody ridiculous that I couldn't stop laughing!

You Haven't Caught Up With Me For So Long, I Might Have Popped A Baby

Call me. Ask me out. I miss everyone!

The Gruu Predicts

FA Cup goes to Chelsea
Premier League goes to Man U

Champions League goes to Liverpool if AC Milan goes through, otherwise Man U wins. (He thinks Milan will win tonight.)

Let's see if he lives up to his name, although when the predictions turn out to be inaccurate, he will just shrug and say his predictions always fail when he make them public.
