Once Upon I Looked For New Housemates

-
Years back when we were students, we could not afford to rent the whole apartment on our own like now. So we put up an ad for the 1 empty room we have. So my roommate Ah Har, who is also Mandarin illiterate picked up the calls.

Caller 1: Room for Rent?
Ah Har: Yaya... What your name?
Caller 1: Oh... my name is Feng Yiu...
Ah Har: Har? Wah! Minyak Cap Kapak??!!
Me: Wuahahahahaha...

Then came another caller:

Caller 2: Room for Rent?
Ah Har: Yaya... What your name?
Caller 2: Oh... my name is Doo Shern...
Ah Har: Har? Wah! God of Gambling??!!
Me: Wuahahahahaha...

Turned out caller no. 2 passed our interview with flying colours and we learnt that his name is actually Too Sheng not Doo Shern as he and his roommate Ah Boon guided our Mandarin better =)

This weekend we are meeting up for dinner after 5-6 years we did not get together... Looking forward to that one =)

I remember when I was a young girl, my dad would bring me to the wet market to do grocery shopping. Unlike other girls, I love the wet market, especially the fish market. There are so many smelly fish, prawns, crabs etc to look at. Some big, some small, some still alive and jumping. And there was one time he asked, what fish would you want to eat today. I never know the names of the fish but I remembered I told him I want the fish that looks like a kite. I think I was just 7 or 8 that time, but this particular moment just stays in my memory. You see, it does look like a kite: And I love it chiew chao zhing. With lots of salted vege and white taufoo... Oh my oh my... I think my 3kg during the holidays was just too kind to me kekeke...
