Comfort and Chili Cheese Fries

October 17th, 2007

life has been nice and slow lately, but there is always reason for panic. i accidentally pulled the emergency alarm at Martian’s apartment the other day, and then suddenly there was all this clanging, and bells, and whooping, and ringing, and this automated woman’s voice shouting Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! over and over again.

i half expected security to barge into our apartment with their guns blazing, and so i quickly started formulating in my head the excuse i would give them when they really do come crashing in. i mean, i cant possibly tell them that i tried to hang my bathrobe on the alarm trigger, right? what would they think! anyway, no one came barging in. just my boyfriend, who looked very confused at all the noise. me, i was just sheepish. had to look at the ceiling and twiddle my thumbs when explaining how the alarm went off. sigh, i got a good spanking after that. hardly a punishment though, heehee.

i dreamt about a mirror the other day; one of those full-length, ornate, Victorian mirrors that you set on the floor. it looked so unbelievably gorgeous in my dream, that when i woke up i just knew i had to have one of those beautiful mirrors. so together with Timtam and my Slutboi, we went mirror-hunting all over Singapore (exaggeration!! but it really did feel like all over Singapore), but it was a futile expedition that turned up naught. i was mightily disappointed =( surely a step-into-my-boudoir mirror cant be so hard to find! i did however end up buying a toy seal i now call Polar Bear. and then Timtam decides to tell me that polar bears actually eat seals. grrrrr leave it to him to tell me all these random disturbing National Geographic facts. i still assert that polar bears eat fish. FISH!

we also went to eat burgers. it was my first ever Carls Jr experience, and i was extremely shocked to find that the burgers were about as big as my face:


oh the massivity

the spanker and the spankee

i’ve been back home for a few days now. had dinner with the family tonight at Sek Yuen, that really old place in Pudu where the waitresses are straight out of the early 90’s, and the old man behind the counter uses an abacus. when our fish came, i stared for the longest time at its open mouth; lips already deep fried in batter and soy sauce. do fishes open their mouths in their death or are they forced open by the cook? i didnt know the answer, but it was a mesmerizing thing, that fish’s gaping mouth that i know will soon be forgotten.

in Sek Yuen, hot checkered handkerchiefs are given out after the meal instead of those soapy wet tissues in plastic. i accepted mine gratefully and put it across my eyes. it smudged my makeup but that’s okay - nothing feels nicer than a warm cloth pressed to your face.
