As I write this, the father tries a falsetto in the next room:
"I.... Can give you Gatsbyyyy... Gatsbyyyy... Gatsbyyyy"
I'd rather he give me more money, it's the GSS (or Great Singapore Sale for the uninitiated) and I've not much left to spend cause I blew my money on Ben & Jerry's ice cream and some other stuff besides. Plus, I've got to set aside money for the mother's birthday gift, tomorrow's study date with Mira, and apparently I have to treat someone once school reopens, right Mat? Right.
Aaanyway. Something funny (at least to me) happened today and it took place while waiting for the lift. My neighbour, a Chinese teenage girl, greeted me as I kept pressing the dratted 'Up' button (how difficult can it be for the lift to come down from the 3rd storey to carry a girl who wanted to go to the 2nd storey??? Sorry, I digress)
She: Hey, long time no see.
Me: Uhh.. Yeah.
She: So... How's school?
Me: Good, good... Having holidays now.
*The lift door opens and we get in. I press '2', she presses '17'*
She: Ok, this will sound a bit weird (insert nervous giggle here) but I actually just wanted to ask how you got a flat tummy. It looks good under your skinny tee.
Me: (eyes widen in shock)
*The lift reaches my floor, and I step out.*
Me: Uhh... I suck in my stomach everytime I'm near people under 50.
She: Haha, that's funny! See you around!
And before I could say "No, seriously!", the lift door closed and I just waved at her dumbly.
Man, people place so much emphasis on a slim figure.
I need to go vegan.
