我媽: “你下去打包乾撈米粉或粿條給我”
我乖乖領旨。 走到麵檔問老闆,他說米粉粿條都賣完了
我回到車回報

我媽: 米粉有嗎?
我: 只剩下面~
我媽: 粿條有嗎?

I suddenly remembered....
I have a blog!
As soon as I got home, I turned on my laptop and uhhh... I couldn't remember what the website is >.< I googled for my own blog. How terrible is that?!
Oh my, I didn't post anything in the year 2023?! Was I that busy until I did not have time to update my blog? Or I simply had nothing interesting to share in my life anymore?
I remembered, urging LY to start her own blog. She said she has nothing to write about. I remembered telling her to just make small matters into big matters, then a blog post is born. And look where I have been? LY loyally updates her blogspot like a diary, whereas my blog is dead quiet.
ok ok, my 2024 resolution is, to update my blog as much as possible. I need to revive it. I need to make my brain work hard again (although I think it's overworked as I can see my growing numbers of grey hair. I think my brain is sucking out all the nutrients from my hair 😰)
Let me summarize my 2023 here so I know I did not skip one year haha
We started to travel in September 2022 when borders started to open. We flew mum to Brisbane. I must say, after not being on any long flight for 3 years, 7 hours of flight is a torture. Then we travelled to Singapore, KL, Taiwan, Vietnam, China in 2023, reunited with siblings and nephews and nieces, relatives. They also came back to spend time with us.
Then to end 2023, I had really bad pain in my lower abdominal when we were on the high-speed train from Teochew to Guangzhou and it lasted for 2 damn days. fortunately, I managed to become better and made it home safely. Luckily, I had my mum's trolley to use, it helped me walk further and was able to continue to buy buy buy and eat eat eat. After all, Guangzhou is food and shopping haven. No matter how sick one is, eating and buying have to continue! haha
Thanks to Jane and My mum for taking good care of me. My mum enjoyed the trip the most. Why? She bought so much that she has TWO full luggage home. Yes, she took my luggage weight too~
Happy 2024!
Our way to end 2023
One evening, i was half-way through my dinner, suddenly there was a black out. I thought it applied to our area but when I looked outside, eh, my neighbours had electricity. Their lights were bright.
I quickly ran to the main switchboard and found that my home was the only one experiencing blackout T___T I quickly called our electrician hoping he could come over to give lights to our home. I told him I kept turning the switch to "ON" but it just kept dropping to "OFF". He said " this is very complicated. We don't know if it is due to your electrical appliances or due to broken wires........" on and on he went about the complications. Then he said "maybe you need to get ready to move into a hotel room tonight if there is no electricity because it is going to be dark very soon, you won't have lights at home blah blah blah..." Actually, i wasn't listening. I was just hoping that he would come over to have a look~
Then finally he said something useful haha.. "Go and unplug all your appliances. then try to turn it on again, see whether it works". I followed his instructions obediently. Then went back to the switchboard and was hopeful that it would have electricity.
Nope. Darn.
So I called him again. He said "oh, if this doesn't work, then it is more complicated than I thought blah blah blah..." I wasn't listening again because he was repeating what he said earlier. Seriously, if I were dying and I called him, I would be dead by now 😂
When he paused for a breath, I quickly interrupted him and asked if he would mind to quickly come over before it's too dark to see anything. He took a moment to think. Oh, I understand it's after work hour. Maybe we really need to stay at hotel tonight then. He then said OK he would come over right now. THANK YOU!
He arrived and it was dark. He asked if I did unplug EVERYTHING. He went around the house to double confirm. Then he repeated the same things again 😂 I asked if the switchboard was faulty. He then took out a screwdriver and opened it.
When he took down the cover, we were shocked by the sight and jumped backward. Yes, we really jumped backwards
Somebody went in and got "fried" T__T
It was disgusting but I was so happy that we didn't have to stay at hotel that night. Happy ending for me but poor little lizard wasn't so lucky.
This is my one-year old phone
That day we passed by ST roundabout and suddenly remembered a shop we heard from Millionaire Chong, that he always buys pork from. He said the pork there is very fresh and "organic". My mum asked what's the name of the shop. I pointed at the direction where the shop is and said in direct translation -"Black Pig" as its Chinese name is 黑猪 (a specie of pig. it's black in colour). My mum said she knows about the shop.....
Then no longer listening to her, i laughed at my own joke which i had inside my head.
"Hi Black Pig
What Black Pig? Who are you calling?
You! You are Black Pig right?
How rude!
But but but.... you are black pig. I am a fan of yours for many years. I love all your movies!
-__-
Oh, u meant, Brad Pitt"
End of my joke.
Funny?
Are you laughing?
Ahahaha... i laughed when i thought of it and now am still laughing as i am writing this XD
Hahaha.. looks like am still childish even though am already a grand aunt.
