My mom and I went to IMM this morning and did some food shopping. She bought me my birthday present!!!
I got the pink one, in case you were wondering. Mom thought it'd be nice if I had something pink for a change. I went around and sneered at all the inferior pinks until I found this pretty Canon.
No fancy functions whatsoever, though 10.0 megapixels is good right? I know nuts about cameras.
I secretly thought the Samsung one was cool too, but I settled for this cos the Samsung one was more expensive
According to the salesguy there the Samsung i8's got an MP4 function.
But the battery dies kind of quickly.
My mother and I walked around IMM and got some food. We talked about names. It all started with her saying that she liked my baby cousin Reyes's name.
I said, "If I have a son I will name him Axl-Jayden or Jared Alençon." She laughed a donkey laugh and said, "So hard to pronounce! If your son falls down I'd be like 'Axl-Jaaaaaay... Oops sorry baby, your name is too long, thanks to your stupid mother, my stupid daughter.'"
I stuck my tongue out at her and asked if Ignatius (ardent, spirited) sounded better. She laughed again and said it sounded like someone who's permanently on fire.
Frustrated, I complained, "At least it's better than AMANDA! In primary school there were TWO Amandas, and now in Nan Hua there are like FOUR Amandas altogether. And you know, people will probably remember me as 'Eh, you know la, that Amanda back in Nan Hua- broke her leg twice, once in Sec One and once in Sec Four."
My mother smiled and said, "Then go and change your name after you graduate. Go and change it to Alibabasriputhanirani for all I care."
Digress: JAMIE'S BIRTHDAY
I love Ning Ning, but she doesn't seem to return my affections.
:(
Paedophile is being incredibly annoying. I hate Chemistry more than ever now. He's utterly two-faced. My mother dropped me off at the car porch at my block after our grocery shopping. Paedophile went over and went all sickly sweet (as usual) and greeted my mom- "Oh hi! Oh no, don't worry, I was a little late too (Me: Isn't he like ALWAYS late)! Haha! Oh! You're going off to work? Alright! Bye!" With all the sunflowers and butterflies and rainbows.
Once my mother drove off, the sunflowers became Rafflesias, the butterflies became bird-eating spiders and the rainbows became typhoons. He saw my lunch (Subway), glared at me and accused me in Chinese, "你这个没良心的人, 买 Subway 没有买给我."
Translation: You heartless person, buy Subway never buy for me.
Like I am obliged to buy anything for him?!?!?!?! Who died and made him God?
He was in a pretty foul mood after that. He told me that he was 'better fed at (my) cousin's house.'. The cheek! He's been eating Japanese exports since my mother came back from Japan. Once, I offered (under my mother's orders) to let him try the beef cup noodles my mother bought from Japan. Now, he asks for that almost everytime he comes over. Even my DAD eats less of the noodles than he does.
He also said, "I'm better fed at your cousin's house- every time I go there, I get to eat lots of things. I get complimentary Yakult from your grandfather (I shall ask Gong Gong to feed him sewage tank water the next time he goes to Darryl's house), I get to eat cookies, I get to eat curry, I get to eat cakes."
I don't deny that Cheryl's house is laden with lots of yummy food (this is 100% true), but to compare would be a total abuse of our hospitality! My maid used to cook lunch for him on several occasions. And when I say 'lunch' I mean a set meal- battered fish, a baked potato with bacon fixings, homemade coleslaw and fries.
It's also not as if he's not had the chance to have nice fruits. My mother offered him fresh peaches and champagne grapes from Japan before. He refused it- is it my fault? Oh well, maybe. At least when Yi Ning, Jamie, Chrysan and Grace came over, they were very thankful for the peaches my mom sliced for them (particularly Yi Ning, who was about to murder anyone who touched the peaches)
I sincerely hope that his stinking shiny new Apple iPhone gives off too much radiation and melts his face. It will definitely make him good-looking for a change.
