I was greeted by a long lost soul who used to treat me so well like one of her own. It was nice seeing those warm familiar faces again, though it would never ever be the same again.
"Heard you were getting married ... who's the lucky man ?"
MamaMichelle and I stared at each other cluelessly, until someone that fit that description popped into my head.
"That one arrr ... but I only had dinner with him ONCE. And that was history".
But the other caught only the word "history" and assumed that history meant "we dated before but it's not history". I buat tak dengar and save my effort for any explanations. It didn't matter anymore.
Back in the car we were joking that IFF that rumour gone wrong was real, I could just cut short my 10 year plan and live the most ridiculous lifestyle ever. Let's just not re-enter the bimbotic and over-fantasized world of mine again. It's just too ridiculous! And besides, I would never give up what I already have ... bliss is priceless.

Ridiculous names. I know everyone wants to have some form of caucasian name to complement whatever chinese name we've got. But please for crying out loud .. get something decent and not be a joke. I have known a million people with ridiculous names ... not sure if I should explicitly state it here. Not nice to make fun of their choices coz afterall, this is a free world. Anyone has the right to name their kid Barney and be damn proud of it.
But it's just ridiculous to be over creative want that "special child" which a name that no one has. You have people naming themselves after the weather, seasons, color, fruits, chocolate?? Yea .. I know someone that do call herself Chocolate. Harmless laa .. people kawaii maa ..
Just as I was checking out all the name cards on my desk, I came across this card .. this person actually named himself CAESAR Teoh. Classic laa ! I'm having Rome fever now, and I think Octavian is a more chio name that Caesar. Just waiting for fate to let me meet someone this "eccentric". I might consider naming my child Octavian and Octavia. But then again, Octavia's character is just lousy and I don't want my daughter's name to be inspired by a confused-bisexual-good for nothing.
