I DiD It My Way~
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
The other day, i was comfortably seated in front of my darling's computer and imagine my pleasant surprise when i found that my darling has been looking at my blog (he claims that it's a waste of time blogging and is a rubbish activity but no.... went to look.. heeheehee... sneaky pig.. :P ). but i was soon a little confused with different tried attempts addresses to my blog page. upon closer inspection, i found the following addresses:
1. www.dairyofssashimigal.blogspot.com
2. www.dairyofasashimigirl.blogspot.com
3. www.diaryofasahimigirl.blogspot.com
needless to say, none of the above is correct.. at this point, i was not sure whether to laugh or cry. yes, my sweetie pie, of all pple, is rather clueless to my blog address.
my comment to 1st try: gal. i never use the word 'gal'. not when addressing myself or to my girlie buddies. i use girl, woman, charbo, nu ren. anything but gal. to me, gal always has a cheesy ring to it. backtrack to the infamous irc era. u see icygal, snowgal, shygal, happygal, what-the-f-gal nicks which 13yr old girls gave themselves. it's lame. since then i have known it deep in my heart that 'gal' is a lamo way of calling a girl. hence u can say that i was visibly upset to find that my baby would think i would ever dream of using 'gal' in my blog address.
2nd try comment: so u notice my dear is confused with the words 'dairy' and 'diary'. now this is a small problem. most pple have mixed up diff words which seem similar in spelling. i have seen enuff to know that. it's rather amusing though, the whole thing. if the 2nd try was my real address, it is rather laughable that i would choose 2 diff type of food, dairy and sashimi in the same name. sure, i enjoy my regular glass of milk and like cheese, so yes, i love dairy products. i love the meat of the very producer of dairy as much as i cannot resist sashimi. but dairyofasashimigirl, is just plain weird.
3nd try comment: finally he gotten 'diary' right but alas! 1 missing 's' in 'sashimi'! this, i blame myself. u see, when i 1st pondered painstakedly over my blog address, many ideas came into my mind, like 'ibloodylovesalmonsashimi'. but being a greedy girl with many loves, it's really hard to just choose 1 thing i like and put it permanently as my add. i even comtemplate putting everything in so it would turn turn out as 'ibloodylovesashimiandsteakandboozeandfagetc' but clearly it is not practical for remembrance sake. hence, i decided not to be too extreme with the 'bloody' thing and settled for my now address. i tot that it is easy to rem by but in retrospect, maybe i had been too confident with my decision. i ought to be more realistic to know that the word 'sashimi' may not be as easy to rem as i tot. hell, if i myself am sometimes still confused with 'izzit wasabi or wasabe (the 2nd one is correct)' i must admit it is part of my wishful thinking that 'sashimi' is a unmistakeable word on everyone's mind.
hence, my apology to friends about my i-tot-v-easy-to-rem-but-even-the-bf-gets-it-wrong blog name. i regret to inform all that it will still be here to stay, as lao niang cannot be bothered to change to another blog name, though, perhaps, 'doreenblog.blogspot', would have been the easiest to rem, albeit v, v, v unoriginal. the bf would just have to rem from now on or suffer many there's-no-fury-like-a-woman's-wrath hellish breakbursts. but i still love u k, dear? ^_^"
anyway! today's entry is about buses and mrt! yaya i know i talk about that all the time but this time i am going to entertain u pple with pix instead. yeah.. i'm a cunning photo-taker. when i am on the road, i click materials which i find of blogging value.
the 1st i would like to talk about is the appearances of ang moh on our humble sunny island. yeah, so ang mohs ain't a rare sightings in sg. but the thing is, i have been seeing more and more of them in v heartland places like opp my house kopitiam la, bus stops la instead of orchard road. wth, i even saw this black guy, not indian, real, african guy, at where u know? food centre cum wet market place! wah lau.. funny leh.. dear say scarly he is kidnapper or something as he noticed the guy had da bao like 2 packets of rice. lol. too much drama watching liao boy...
wah... ang mohs in sg nowadays in sg downgrade liao ah? tot these 'expats' drove big cars and live at holland condos>??? maybe after so many yrs in sg, they all v clever liao. know chicken rice is cheaper in hawker centres instead of patronising mandarin hotel and pay like 20times the price. lol. got 1 taxi uncle haolian to me that during the glorious days, ang moh would charter his taxi and go lucky plaza buy gold or something then reward him with fat tips. so gone are these days and the new generation ang mohs live in hdb and take mrt also.
1st ang mohs sighting: on mrt. a ang moh son and ang moh father pair sitting directly opp me. was rather intimidated by the duo, especially when i took this pix, ang moh father was doing some stretching on hand holders or something. xia dao wo... with their towering heights which were also visible when seated, i tot it would be wise to avoid any form of eye contact like any petite chinese girl would have chosen to do in my situation. and i was not even remotely near town area stations then. they sure look like 2 of those carefree, i-dun-give-a-crap backpackers type of ang moh tourists, not ur regular shenton way suit and tie mr expat. so much for self-proclaiming to be liberal-minded and westernised thinking. i was pretty gobsmacked by their presence on the mrt. suaku sashimi girl.
2nd sighting: also on mrt, nel line. ya this dude is not the typical blonde hair blue eyes type but definitely ang moh (or at least eurasian??). slightly keenu-reeves-lookalike. 
3rd sighting: malibu barbie girl spotted! in fact i see her every morning when i am at my aunt's shop, waiting for bus. in in fact fact there is not just her but another ang moh girl with her too sometimes. maybe sisters. in in in fact fact fact also got this ang moh guy comes to my aunt shop a couple of times too, buying veg sticks or fruits for breakfast.
Me (gobsmacked): wah!!! got ang moh come our shop leh! heeheehee!
Aunt (nonchalent): aiya.. suaku la.. never see ang moh b4 izzit??!!! nearby got condos la.. what's so surprising??
It's surprising bcoz most of the time when i look out of the shop to pple watch, i only see uncles and aunties walking around doing minding their own biz in their pyjamas or something.
last but not the least.. ang moh classmate! learning. japanese. ok la this 1 not so rare. after all, commercial schs r supposed to have students of diff nationalities, right? got 1 more i see b4 is a heavily pregnanted ang moh lady, think go give birth liao (last time also got 1 pregnant classmate, tai tai, korean, married to jap guy, would always sit behind me and stroke her swollen belly. buay tahan... too relac liao.. go home also walk can liao.. stay orchard one.. got other classmates also the same, all live nearby nia, walk can liao. envy...). but i digress... u got hear ang moh speak jap 4? quite funny, like how they sound when they speak chinese. teehee...
aiya.. just amaze by ang mohs in neighbourhood places la.. more used to seeing them in town areas instead leh.. anyway got other stuffs when i am on public transports.
inconsiderate auntie #1: gigantic shopping trolley park right in the middle of the bus walkway. knn.. auntie, your ah gong bus ah? pple dun need to walk izzit??!! cannot forgive lo.. even if u say i mean to critise ignorant poor fendless i-m-just-a-harmless-auntie-with-a-heavy-trolley-jampacked-with-stuffs-and-nobody-is-giving-me-a-helping-hand. auntie...cannot like that la.. pple need to walk pass one mah... next time dun like that ok?? ok?? promise hor...
inconsiderate auntie #2: pressing entire body against pole on crowded mrt so that other standing passengers cannot hold on to pole for balance. yes, that one is an auntie! the back and clothes and size look like man i know but IS AN AUNTIE! i cannot stand such pple lo! f la.. i dun need to hold izzit??!!!! make me agitated one leh.. these kind of pple totally oblivious to other who want to hold on to the pole too one lo.. i purposely go hold onto the same pole hoping that she will get the message and get her bloody weight off it but noooo...... squashed my hand instead! make me wanna shout a string of hokkien vulgarities at her lo... sorry la... i get angry v easily one.. petty type.. anyway, she think is her pole izzit?? then bring home la! lock up in storeroom! then nobody can ever use it anymore! happy! kns.
this one is hor, i wanna use this person's outfit example to gently remind everyone never to wear top and bottom with the same design i.e. stripes and stripes. it's v unmatching. just like floral top with floral bottom, top to toe denim clothes. stop! no fashion sense. and for god sake.. get off the f-ing pole!
the awkward sleeping position, too weary OL commuter. amusing. And the scary.......
..... Sadako herself waiting for mrt!!! omg!!! attractive long flowy hair is one thing, way-too-long, sadako-of-the-ring-like hair is plain scary shit! when i look at her locks close up, i can still see water dripping from her tips! OMFG! i swear i'm not the one staring at her. i heard a few pple whispering about her behind me. i got this scary tot that what if one day her hair is so long until it get caught when she travels on the escalator and a whole bunch actually gets ripped outta her head, revealing a bloody meshy partially botak mess???!!!! HORROR!!! no need pay money to watch horror jap movies anymore. jus go places where there are escalators, wait with popcorn and coke in hand for goldilock to pass by!
actually i like to take scenery pix too. from time to time will see exceptional weather scenes.
Threatening angry dark clouds looming in a distance.
It's 6ish in the evening and i see Mr Sun! Pretty! (the house also v pretty! lol..)
...And not forgetting my lovely salmon sashimi! on it's own or wrapped up in sushi, i love it i love it i love it and i cannot get enuff of it! it's sweetly delicious! but no thanks to shan who tells me about a fat jap guy who eats raw food all his life and one day was admitted into hospital for unbearable headache. apparently, doctors find maggots in his brain! i mean, how gross is that!!! how can i possible eat sashimi and middle rare steak in peace now??!!!! i hate u shan!!!! 
But luckily (or should it be UNluckily??? ^_^"), i like cooked food too ok... oh look! what a beautiful golden plate of happy fried family! allow me to intro (in clockwise): the roundish orange are breaded scallop (damn nice!), wedges, onion rings, sotong balls, fish nuggets, calamari and fries! they all reside in my hips now. Great.
