// STILL rainy// - sat- 19/11

Went to Pei Hwa Sec.
For wad? – you asked.
Since I’m totally unrelated to this sch. – you reasoned.

Well, for my sis’s sake.
The PSLE results are gonna to be released 24/11.
After that, she’ll have to choose six schools.

5 yrs ago, during my time, there was no such thing as getting the results first b4 choosing the schs.
Mine choice- riverside- was based solely on my own gut feeling.
And I never go for which sch’s open house- to check out.
In the end, I still made the right choice
So wad’s the big deal?

Btw, in order not to bore readers of my blog – if any, that is.
Let me share a story.
Real-life.
Non-fiction.
Ok, it’s not scary.

One of my father’s friend visited our flat last Sat. I guess it is sort-of a farewell since he is leaving for Beijing for good –I hope so.
Ok. Till now u might get the idea that I don’t have a good impression of that uncle, but that’s not true. That fact is that he is going back to his already- divorced wife in China.
He of course, still loved that woman a lot and didn’t care about the past. But his many friends, including my parents are still distrustful.

But that is not the important thing.- I’m getting out of point.

It was a hot day so my mum cut some fruits to serve our guest.
Initially, she brought a whole bowl of papayas to that uncle and thought that he would only take a piece, since my father, aunty, me and my sis haven eaten any yet.
Who knows, that uncle- uncle C- I shall call him.
Took the whole bowl of papayas and devoured it.
At that point in time, my mum was fretting. – how? The others haven eaten yet-
So she took a whole bunch of bananas and tried to offer them to uncle C.
But he refused the bananas politely and continued to devour the papayas innocently.
But my mum was not one who would give up so easily- she was determined to get back the papayas.
She then took a whole box of kuihs- which my aunt bought- and offered them again to uncle C.
Uncle C did not detect anything was amiss and even thought my mum was too generous.
In the end, he said “ no need, no need, the weather so hot, must eat more papayas, I eat papayas can liao”
So you can imagine my mum’s “horror”
Haha.

And my mum even thought nobody discovered her embarrassment.
Well- one person- my father did.
He pretended to be glued to the TV.
So when he recounted the story, there were lots of laughter.
Moral of the story: when visiting other people’s place, eat in moderation!
