One fine rainy dayOne rainy morning, I just had to sleep in (again) and was late for work (again). But this time, I was super duper late because I didn't managed to catch any cab and my
crappy good boss offered to hire a helicopter to fetch me but I waited for eternity but no helicopter came. That was crap obviously coz I didn't wait for the helicopter nor cab. I was a good gal that day coz I walked to take the train. But that was beside the point.
The point is, as I was walking towards the MRT station in a fluster, armed with my sweet pinkish umbrella and 3/4 jeans, I heard somebody asking, "请问你是依琳吗?" I continued walking coz in my 24 years of living, I don't remember anybody calling me by my chinese name except my parents, and they obviously will not ask if I am 依琳 right?
And thus, I continued walking briskly.
Another "请问你是依琳吗?", I peeked out from my pinkish umbrella and did not recognize the guy who is calling my name.
Guy: 请问你是依琳吗?
Me: 是啊，你是...?
Guy: 你还记得我吗？我是你幼儿园的朋友...
So chimz sia, 幼儿园.... I was stunned for a moment before realizing it's Kindergarten.
Me: Orrh, sorry, 还是不记得...
Guy: (some random intro to see if I can remember)
Me: Sorry, 我赶时间，我可以先走吗?
I was very late already ok, where got time to 闲聊?!?
So, I rushed to the train station to take my MRT. On the train did I realized, how the hell did he recognize me when I couldn't recognize him?!? Does that mean that I still look the same in my pre-school years?!?
Shit, that means I still look like ah-gong. Must be the short hair and bangs.
I'm gonna grow my hair. No more haircuts till end of the year.
ConcertsI'm gonna catch these shows.
I think I'm going broke very soon, especially after the Cambodia trip. Talking about Cambodia, we took a gazillion number of pictures. Which I'm going to procrastinate and never post them as usual.
Oh well, perhaps just one for now.
I can't imagine living on USD50 per month. We are one helluva lucky people and we should be thankful for that.
