the stupid things that we say
----
I realised that Singaporeans , on top stupid behaviour , shoot their mouths off without thinking as well.
Yesterday while clubbing at China Black ( it was a boring night since i wasn't in the mood ) , Green's head suddenly popped up from nowhere and i was pleasantly surprised to see him. Then i asked him two questions which made me feel pretty stupid afterwards
Stupid question number 1 ( This one's a common one ) : Hey hello Green ! What are u doing here ????
Hmm. What else can one be doing at a club ? Poetry recital ? This question is equally stupid in scenarios like
-You're eating at Macdonalds and then your friend happens to there as well. "Hey fiona !! My , what a coincidence .. What are you doing here ??"
Stupid question number 2 : So who are you with ???
This question would be okay if we hang out with the same bunch of people but no , Green and I are just casual acquaintances and besides , who else would you be with at a club ? Your teachers ?
Some other brainless things we often say
1) You're eating at your school canteen when your classmate passes by .. She says "Wah Fiona , Eating ah ? " ( Its more effectively stupid sounding when said in chinese "Wah Fiona , Zai Chi Dong Xi ah ?" ) . Its like .. duhhhhhh ( dumb blonde style )
2) When asked "Where are you going later?" , and you answer "going out , lor" . Another "Like , duhhhhhhhh" moment

HOUSE OF WAX ** SPOILERS **
----
Caught this flick with T just now and despite my initial enthusiasm in catching this show, i ended up pressing my palm or my bag to my eyes or hiding behind T's shoulder because some parts of the show were so gruesome that i wanted to throw up.
Actually it wasn't THAT gruesome as compared to movies like Seven but being the person who often thinks too much for her own good , i started putting myself into the victim's shoes and i felt their pain.
One of the scene that evoked the most reaction in me was when one of the guys gets bashed up by the killer and while he is badly injured , he is still very much alive and conscious but he gets strapped to a gurney and gets an injection which renders him immobile but NOT unconscious.
So basically he is a prisoner in his own body.
He could only watch in horror and squirm in what must be excruciating pain as the sicko starts doing all sorts of nonsense to him ( including stitching him up with massively-sized threads ) and worst of all , getting sprayed by boiling wax to complete the process.
A sadist's dream come true .
His friend stumbles upon his wax figure and amazingly he is still alive . His friend tries to remove the wax from his friend's face not realising that it has already fused with skin and instead of removing only the wax , the skin falls off as well revealing the flesh underneath. Subsequent attempts resulted in the same disgusting result.
It scares the shit out of me to think that anyone would even revel in such torture , if you wanna turn me into a wax figure or smth , please , just let me die a quick death.
If i'm not wrong , it has actually happened before in real life.
This guy who was supposed to undergo surgery wasn't fully anaethised , just enough to temporary paralyse him but not enough to fully knock him out. He couldn't speak and yes , needless to say, he felt the entire operation but was unable to protest.
In T's car , i had an impromptu trivia lesson.
Did you know that the tiny stripes on the er , rear window of a car actually have a purpose ?
YES! For the uninitiated non-drivers like me , they're actually called "Demisters" or something , and they're actually connected to a heating element which u activate with a button so that it de-mists the back window , presumably to aid you with errr .... a better and clearer view of the back ???
Gosh i sound like a dumb blonde ( or as T would put it , a pity you're not blonde )
Had alot of fun though more often than not i got my intelligence insulted lol.
Some interesting quotes of the night -
T : I'm going to drive you to a dark place
Me : So does that mean that we're from the Dark Force ?
**After realising that the "Dark place" was inaccesible**
Me : Oh we're no longer from the Dark Side now .. So we're Jedis !
Okay it wasn't very funny , stupid even but it was my own stupidity that made me laugh.
T : Hey look , pole dancers !
Me : Where ?
T : There .. On your left !!
Me : *turns* Where got ?
T : Too late already la .. By the way , you turned right.

I know , my IQ feels like its diminishing.
It has been quite some time since i laughed so much , so thanks alot T for amusing me :p
