last night i waited an hour for the bus, and when it arrived, it was full, so i took the mrt instead. i took over one and a half hours for a journey that takes less than half an hour.
but enough griping about public transport.
so i went swimming this morning, with a pool full of old men. fit old men i might add. only later other age groups started appearing. toa payoh swimming complex is still about the same as i last went which was years ago. the biggest improvement is that the changing room shower cubicles actually have doors now. though this hot shot father decided to not close the door while he rubbed himself under the shower. sure everyone loves to see your pale ass contrasted with your tanned body mate.
after that i went to toa payoh central and decided to try the chicken foldover that's so hot and hip right now. you know what, it's nothing fantastic. it's just...another menu item in macdonald's. anyway, true to the saying that macdonald's gives you malnutrition and indigestion at the same time, my stomach has been feeling gurgly and weird since lunch, and i wasn't particularly satiated either. ugh. bollocks to macdonald's. and as usual, the actual product doesn't match the adverts. my foldover lacked all them vegetables in the tv adverts. i had a sorry cut (it wasn't even a slice) of tomato. and the fucking foldover is being promoted everywhere. on signboards at the door, on the flat screen tv in macdonald's and on the pa system outside macdonald's cleverly disguised as a radio show. wtf man, i was bombarded with chicken foldover propaganda the whole time i was near and in the premises, and right now too as my stomach struggles to make some sense of it. by the way, macdonald's employees refer to the foldover as cfo. i know cos i heard the auntie over the counter say it. and she even said it to me. "your cfo will be brought to you in a while". ugh no more macdonald's.
anyway, i just switched on the tv and that fantastic show heartlanders is on. and i just heard the funniest line on it. some crime boss is talking to a kah kia on the handphone -
"Make him (Vincent Ng) a pariah cop! Make everyone hate him! Har?! I pay you to ask me how?!"
and Vincent Ng just said -
"Auntie, Dere is a lot of shood dis and shood dat. Like, parents shood be arert of deir chilren."
Screw you heartlanders. even steph song and the other chick couldn't save the show.
by the way here's some more amusing dialogue courtesy of jiwwo. here's some context, we're talking about the clocks in my room. the wall clock always moves faster than the rest of the clocks in the house, ever since secondary school. that's as far back as i remember. also i have a lot of clocks in my room -
