FAT

so i got back on thurs. oh gosh staying in ipoh is like the best thing every year. i can go downstairs anytime of the day (before 1730) and there'll always be food. duh it's a damn coffeeshop. i actually worked there for a couple of days since the shop was still open when i went back. harrowing experience. i have to brush up on my cantonese. ppl say they can practically see my mind churning furiously to translate when they speak to me in mandarin. woah wait til they speak in cantonese. train of thought:
1. take orders in cantonese
2. translate into mandarin/english in my head to figure out what they want
3. get the damn drinks
4. think how much each drink costs
5. add them up
6. translate the cost into cantonese
7. get paid
8. calculate change
9. figure out malaysian money
10. doh zhei.

shit and this goes on for every order. haha the other guys working at the shop kept laughing at me cos they said i look so puzzled everytime. (which they said in cantonese which i had to translate again) anyway they were really nice tho i couldn't understand them half the time. and i was convinced they were like 14 or 15 but they whizzed off after work on their motorcyles so i guess they're 18. oops. i am awful at ages.

anyway the food in malaysia rocks! not posho restaurants (ipoh doesn't have any anyway cos it's such a poor town. yes i have most humble roots!) but hawker food! which is a lot more unhealthy. oh no i can feel my double chin already (speaking of which i think prince william has a double chin... eeee) other than eating there's not much to do. so it's pirated dvds. haha yeah i really like watching hongkong movies in cantonese. it's so much more authentic and it helps me improve my cantonese. and jap and korean movies are cool too. that's the way to go since hollywood produces such shit nowadays.

oh and i got another massive happy bruise on the back of my leg! :( :( :( yucky. i'm pretty sure i didn't get whacked there cos i made a mental note of where i got hit (shoulder, hip, shin...) which gets me a bit worried. thanks to wangyang and her weepy winter sonata shows. i think i better have a blood test done. but i'm scared! the last time i had blood taken was in pri2 when i had dengue fever and i bawled my eyes out!!!!

had a nice posh-nosh new year lunch at crystal jade golden palace yesterday. there was this funny lady there wearing a damn tight micro mini cheongsam. and i think she split it cos there was a weird slit at a not v fashionable place. oh dear. hmmm then went out with suyin jingmin and serena later... haha was quite fun. we should do this more often! and gosh so many ppl were out yesterday. including bird.
