Movie & Munchy Saturday

-

I met up with my IRAS VES Volunteer friend, Wendy for lunch today. The meet up was hastily arranged by her as she had sought my advice on her plans to hunt for a job. Apparently, she met by some problems with her work and the problems have escalated to a stage that she has decided that her work place is no longer suitable for her to stay on. I shall not elaborate further, as I don’t think it will be right for me to share it here, due to she is still working in the company and I am just worried that someone from her company may just read this post.

At her request, we had lunch at Junction 8 Pastamania for lunch before she asked me if I was interested to catch this movie. I was alright with it.

The movie was quite okay, although it did not meet our expectations, but it was quite funny.

After the movie, we went to the photocopy shop to get her educational certificates and ECA certificates photocopied. The shopkeeper made a mess of all her certificates that we have to spend about 2 hours at Long John Slivers to sort them into order. The worst part was that there was no air con at the restaurant & I could tell that Wendy was indeed under a lot of stress. It was so much that she spilled her drink to the floor. Fortunately, the spill did not damage her certificates.

After that, I went to Vivo City Sushi Tei to meet up with Jonathan & Melvin for dinner. After the dinner, we went to Ben & Jerry for our desert. This was the 1st time I tried their ice-cream, which I thought was good.

It was nice to catch up with Melvin. I wish him all the best in his studies. :-)

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
