Assorted Ravings of the Slightly-Weird

BQOTDs

Every time I get together with my gal pals, I come away with a great selection of BQOTDs to add to my collection. On Saturday I had brunch with 2 gal pals from back in the day who I've known since "puffing" was a term related to clothing instead of cigarettes but really only got to know much better after we left school. And we're all fairly bitchy so we had a great time catching up and cackling at each other's stories.

So without further ado, here goes. (Names have been left out to protect the guilty.)

1) "Don't all women like chocolate? If God was a woman he'd have made sperm taste like chocolate."

2) "Maybe he's so deep in the closet, it's a walk-in wardrobe."

3) "So my colleague said, 'I hope my son doesn't turn out to be gay. And if he does turn out to be gay, I hope he's a giver and not a taker.'"

4) "Eli? What kind of name is that for a Chinese kid? Don't you have to be Jewish to be called Eli?"

5) "That's why I date younger men. You have to catch them before they get tainted."

I'm sure there's more but for the life of me I can't remember any... Age, it really does kill the brain cells!

New Year Greetings

Happy new year everyone!

If you guys haven't already heard of this place, and it's likely that few have since this place is only 6 months old, then everyone should go check out Forest Adventures. It's an aerial obstacle course in Bedok Reservoir Park where you get to climb up trees, step on swings while 5 m up in the air and zipline down to the ground, amongst other things. The whole course, including the safety instruction bit, takes about 1.5-2 hours to complete and it is so fun! We did this for our annual family day and all, kids and adults alike, had a great time. And, it's not exorbitantly expensive at $25 per head for adults.

Other than that, the rest of the long weekend was spent the usual way - visiting relatives, getting angpows, eating Hakka noodles and snacking on festive tidbits, and gambling away the angpow money :) What is it about Chinese people that makes us such keen gamblers...

Or maybe it's just my family!

Hmmm...
