Beyond your imagination

Yes indeed, the world is filled with scumbags.

Just last week, I was telling 157 how my neighbour, who is in his twenties, had a shotgun marriage a couple of years back. Therefore he had to marry the girl(whom I call the victim). She moved in, gave birth, celebrated their daughter's first month. I could still remember eating the cake that the grandmother brought over, think she's in her 50's. Latest update: his mistress has given birth and both she and her baby had just moved into the neighbour's house. I'm annoyed because the couple(neighbour and mistress) will be smoking openly outside their flat along the corridor everytime I walk past them. Guy- half naked, Girl- wearing an oversized baggy t-shirt. Both chatting and smoking. Btw, I detest the smell of cigarette smoke. Those who know me well enough should know the reason why. I've been a passive smoker for years, and mind you, passive smokers die faster as compared to those who smoke first hand.

So what happened to the victim exactly? I'm not sure, but I haven't seen them for a couple of months eversince we started spotting the mistress entering the house recently. I think there was an argument, so the legal wife and daughter only comes to visit every friday, and they'll leave on sunday. I thought, wow, that's a wonderful family, at least he's doing what he's suppose to do. The neighbour used to be an army officer who signed on, but I think he stopped and went to work part time at mind's cafe, cos I always see him in that uniform. So, the wife and daughter used to come every friday. My mum will be looking forward as that little girl is so cute cos she'll always run past our house when mum is hanging clothes along the corridor and shout 'hello!'. But not anymore. They stopped coming before I realised what's going on.

So it happened last friday when I was sleeping on the couch in the living room. I heard what seemed like kittens meowing. To my huge astonishment, mum revealed the apparent truth to me the next day. She said,' hey, I think the Orchid plant guy's mistress had given birth and they're now staying in that house'. I was like wth, this is so disgusting. I was utterly disgusted! So it seems like everything I observed fell into place. But I've not seen the girl being pregnant at all! So, they probably shifted in after she gave birth, to avoid gossips from spreading.

Oh whatever. Here's my advice to you- one shotgun is enough, if you want to screw up other people's lives, think twice. I believe in karma.

And did I mention this neighbour's mum is his dad's second wife? aka mistress. So my mum kept reiterating the point that 'he is following his father's footsteps'. How true.

I am forever amazed by the convenience that technology can bring to us.

On last Thursday, tty jer cel and I went to a nice Japanese cum French restaurant called Ma Maison at Bugis. It was as though we were in heaven. The ambience was good, the food was heavenly. But tty would only give it a rating of 7 out of 10. I think it deserves an 8 though. The thing I love about Ma Maison is its charming English cottage theme. The floor, tables and chairs are all wooden. I love the tablecloth. Ornaments, old clocks and posters can be found on the walls. Windows are fringed with curtains. There were also racks on which plates and crockery are arranged neatly, as though it were a real kitchen in someone’s home!

With dim lighting in the form of candles and vintage table lamps, the restaurant feels extremely homely, perhaps even romantic(too bad I went with a bunch of girls). It seemed really cozy. It could have been perfect if it was snowing when I gazed out of the window. But no, It did ring a bell that I was still in Singapore.

(Of course, the dim lighting also meant that I couldn't take any nice pictures. YA RIGHT, we didn't bring our cameras. So, as the header of this post implies, I managed to google and found some pictures online. So make do with it~)

OH great. I tried to upload those pictures I found online, but there's something wrong and I'm still trying to figure it out.

As much as technology is convenient, it is also a hassle when it fails to perform its operations.
