Yestday was da 3rd time in 3 straight weeks, I hanged out with Dira.. First time was on 16 Sept, for da Spore Idol rdshow at both Plaza Singapura and Cineleisure. Second time, was last week (23 Sept) for da same event at Causeway Pt, with additional peeps we knw like Liza and Ayu and their friends..
Da third time was yestday!!! Well, there wasnt any rdshows of any singers or idols.. We juz wanna chill out.. Da plc: Jurong Point.. Meeting time: 1.30pm. Duration of chilling out: 3.25 hrs!!! Yup.. I kid u not!!! 3.25 hrs approximately 3 hrs and 15 mins!!
We went window shopping frm stores such as SaSa to Japan Home to This Fashion to Harvey Norman to BATA to PEDAL WORKS to Courts and John Little.. We talked abt gadgets such as thumb drives, SD card, MM card, digital cameras, wireless connection, laptops, desktops and handphones..while on we were window-shopping. Window shopping for shoes.. I need to buy a pair of shoes for Hari Raya!!! We went to different shoe shops. None of da shoes were appealing to me.. Nvm, still have 3 weeks to go.. No hurry..
Remember I blogged abt a taxi driver insisting tat I AM NOT A SINGAPOREAN but a FOREIGNER? Well, yestday it happened again!!! While on my way home frm Jurong Pt.. I was instructed by my grandma to buy food for break fasting..at Clementi, da coffee shop opposite NTUC.
I went to tis mama stall selling Briyani coz whole family wanna eat Briyani. They took my order in English.
And u knw wat happen next? While serving me, da assistant asked me, "Are u a Burmamese?" I said, "No. I am Malay." "Oh, malay. Can speak malay rite?" I nodded my head. Aft tat, he talked to me in malay.. Wat did he talk abt? "Saya fikir awak org Burma." (I thot u r Burmese). Tau ckp melayu, ckp melayu saja.. Kita faham." (Knw how to speak malay, juz speak.. We understand)
I was, "Like.. duh.. doesnt mean I'm malay muz speak in 100% malay.."
Crap!! Do I DUN LOOK SINGAPOREAN?!!! Even if I dun speak malay, they can assume I am Singaporean still, cant they?! Why da perception tat I am NOT Singaporean?
I juz dun understand it!! First and second, a taxi driver insisted I am Indonesian and a maid thot tat I was Indonesian, third.. sumone frm my diploma days approached me and speak to me in tagalog!!! When I stared at him, he asked, "r u a Filipino?" I told him off tat I am NOT a Filipino BUT a Singaporean!!! He apologized to me and went off.. Fourth, was juz recently.. during my first day of work at Donaldson & Burkinshaw on 17 March.. one of da malay staff came up to me to strike a conversation. Wanna knw wat she ask me?
"Maria, u ni org Malaysia eh?" (Maria, r u a Malaysian?") I gave her a frown.. I shocked my head and she understood, however, she didnt apologize 2me!! How rude.. Oh well, she is a senior staff and I am new so, I'll just give in..
Indonesian.. Filipino.. Malaysian.. new one Burmese.. I wonder wats next.. Bruneian? Pakistan? Bangladeshi? Thai?!! Crap!!!.
LoL.. My handphone bill!!! Just received my handphone bill on Thurs.. Total amt: $202.25 Out of da $202.25, $108.80 was for Spore Idol voting frm 23 August to 14 September.. (Top 6, Top 5, Top 4 and lastly Top 3) Of coz u shld knw who I always voted for.. HADY MIRZA!! I did some math and during 23 August to 14 September, I gave out 168 votes to Hady Mirza.. 23.08.06 to 14.09.06 = 4 weeks.. Each week, I voted for Hady Mirza 42 times!!! Wow!!!
