so.

its been an hour since i got back from tg. sepat; wasn't even tired since i always sleep abnormally during holidays:) and so, like i always learn stuff everytime when i leave home (i learn NOTHING when i'm at home, but it doesnt mean my parents never taught me):

1. LITTLE GIRLS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT THEY SEEM ON THE OUTSIDE. shoot. i shoulda learnt that a loooonnnggg time ago:(
2. NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN GOODOLD KAMPUNG FOOD:))))) even if the dishes repeats itself every year. but man, their fried chicken is like the best wey. THE BEST:)
3. EVEN PARENTS DON'T LOOK LIKE WHAT THEY ARE OUTSIDE. they. are. creators. of. many. little. frankensteins.
4. NEVER RARE PETS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY HOLD THEM. i know of this little frankenstein friend who just so happened to be fascinated by terrapins and yet be terrified at the same time too. warning content: if you get easily disturbed by horror or gore, please do not read the following. using a toothbrush to scrub the poor terrapin, she pins it to the floor to stop it from moving. then she pushes its head into its shell so it won't bite her (btw, terrapins never bite.). after scrubbing the shell, she pins it to the floor again and push it to the tank instead of holding the shell and lifting it up. then, after putting it on the tank cover, she quickly lowers it down. barely reaching the bottom, she mercilessly throws it down with a loud clang. you see what i mean by now? i was muttering animal abuse all the way. how silly of the terrapins to not commit suicide, they're better off that way...
5. IF YOU SEE GOOEYGOOEY WHITE SUBSTANCE ON A PIECE OF MEAT, ITS FAT. i never realised that until my mom told me to scrape that thing off. i was traumatised for hours.
6. ITS LUCKY TO BE A CHINESE KID. not many non-working students get to have yearly income, although its not enough to fulfil personal expenses(duh.). still, it gives you something to say hallelujah about, right?:)
7. NEVER LEND YOUR INSECT REPELLANT TO KIDS. some frankensteins think that repellants are their skin itch personal miracle. don't worry, i nearly murdered some kids after that:)
8. I STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GUTS TO LIGHT A CRACKER. well at least i did pull one. but that was during christmas. and only because it didn't create sparks. besides, i'm not risking having one arm blasted off, thankyouverymuch.
9. ITS UNBELIEVABLY COOL TO MARRY AN AHMOLANG. no offense to guys of other race, but to find a guy who is not kiamsiap, kiasu, kiasi, eat dogs orotherfunnystuff, outdoorsy, adventurous, educated, financially able, free of addictives and mostly christian; hello?! (and i'm also talking about 'generally', here.) and im not personally siding ahmolangs like i have a fetish, but i have 2 female relatives who have husbands who take them around the world and they're having the time of their life. i don't see many asians who have high ambitions like that. and look, i never ever said just because they were cute.
10. I'VE MANAGED TO ADOPT EXCELLENT PARENTING AND MEN SKILLS. that is, to get your kids in the right shape and to find a good guy. no offense, but seeing many failures and rare successes, with God i can say we both are content about my future.
11. oh and one last thing, THOSE CHINESE KIDS WHO SING CNY SONGS IN TV HAVE DIFFERENT CUTE FACES AND PRERECORDED VOICES. and the rest is history.

i'm pretty satisfied with my trip and the angpow money of course:D and once again, thanks God. for letting me learn something non academic:))))

san tai kin hong, people.
