2006
An ardent fan of Star Wars, my bro downloaded a short audio clip of 'Stah Wars', a parody of Episode V by crazy Singaporeans. It reenacted conversations between Darth Vader and Luke after the famous hand decapitation scene. The funny part is, it's all dubbed in hokkien. 'Tek wa ki oh oh yi peng!' (跟我去黑黑那边！ come with me to the black black side!) never fails to crack me up.
What have all these quirks got to do with 2006? Two-oh-oh-six.. in Hokkien it means 'too black is the color black'. Far from being a bad omen, I think it's farnie :)
And the picture? It's too dark. Bad shutter speed.
I was supposed to blog about my sojourn to London and Cardiff, but i procrastinated. It's new year again!! WOooHooo!! 2006 is here!!
I had a pretty peculiar last day of 2005. I brought Benny to Tippecanoe Mall in the morning in hope to get a piece of ny eve sale. We got it. I bought a microfleece shirt for $9.99 (down from $34, which is a huge bargain). Benny bought the same thing too, plus a turtleneck sweater for $9.99 also. Damn cheap.
Lunched at KFC. We suddenly had cravings for the crispy avian from the colonel. Too bad the buffet section was closed. I couldn't imagine how KFC could survive our onslaught haha.. Had half a chicken downed with pepsi.
Went back just in time when Peter showed up. He's back from Milwaukee! We chatted while I prepared Yorkshire puddings with turkey gravy and some roast potatoes ala British style learned from Jemima. Both turned out great! After dinner Peter and I watched Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Not long after the seniors called for Dota!! My gosh. We played straight till 3am, not forgetting to greet each other 'Happy New Year!' at 12am while fervently slashing through the middle lane with my Tinker. Lol. Click here to see how other people around the world spend a more fruitful night than just playing Dota.
I tried to bake a cake just now but failed miserably. The cake didn't rise properly and it tasted soggy.. guess I added too much water. Going to make another one soon :0
And i'm going to blog about London and Cardiff after that. It's on my Post-it desktop note, and i'll make sure i won't forget.
Happy New Year!

Hey...if you don't mind me asking, where did your brother downloaded the Star Wars in Hokkien? Even though I can't really understand Hokkien, I've heard it's really funny and I'm looking for it...at least I can share it with my friends who'll translate it XD Haha. Thanks and have a nice day.
