i think i should go NS. oh no, kor's going NS on the 31st of march. hopefully he gets a "white horse" in his platoon and hopefully you know what i mean by "white horse". a "white horse" is a label for children of the rich and famous, like businessmen and prominent figures in the ministry. no, i don't think zoe tay's future child would count.
the military said they would remove this label, this so called "identification tag" so these children would be treated equally. from what i see in the forum, it's so not true. they get preferential treatment. even if they remove it, how difficult would it be to identify these children? the chances are as small as a atom on a pin head. heh. therefore, it is useless to remove it.
went out with my cousins to do something. tell you next time. we had supper, beo crescent, teochew "muair" porridge! it's plain porridge with dishes you can choose to your fancy. succulent, oily, fried egg with turnip, fish in a dark sweet and salty sauce, minced meat, pickled vegetables, oh so many things! it's so quaint. i haven't been there in a long time.
amelia, my cousin of 25(6?) years told my other cousin, belle(24 years old) how i didn't want to get married. she looked positively shocked and asked why. so i told her how, you know, lots of divorces in the world nowadays, how you can't be certain that you'll spend the rest of your life with someone. staring at me with her spoon positioned at an angle to the plate holding the minced meat, she shook her head and said, "she's so old! i think she's older than me!"
and she goes on to say i make her feel like she's 16 and her friends are always saying she's 24 going on to 16. haha. i'm not old! just mature. heh. i asked her why she wanted to get married. she said well because they grew up in the era of cinderella and snow white. people my age are too cynical nowadays, she declared. oh and she even feels that i'm wiser than her! now that's a compliment because she's really smart and stuff. but she has a way to make me feel dumb, like how i make my other cousin feel dumb. retribution.
earlier on, about marriage, i said a lot of other stuff but i'm really tired now. next time ok? i love being cynical. make me less vulnerable to the world's whims.
