What we up to since we come back
This post will be in singlish. Not the the others have not been. But it’s so good hor to come home hor and speak hor to all my friends in singapore english and they actually understand me leh. Super cool. When I tell them shiok, they actually understand what I mean!
We’ve been back since last Thursday nite.
H1N1 Scare
We arrived at the airport with Sophie running a fever and having a cough and a cold. So scary, thought she kena honey (that’s what I heard Regina say! H1N1 = honey! She’s so funny man!). Anyways we prayed hard and she passed through the scanners. Fever went down pretty fast and it wasn’t really high. She just had a real bad cough. On her puffs now. Brought her to the PD and for the first time the PD waived the fee! All the fee! I was quite in shocked when we walked out the clinic. God this is amazing. Btw, we’re now labeled as YWAMers on her files.
Friend from Matamata
We’ve got a friend from Matamata visiting us and staying with my mum. She’s been picking up good Singlish. She’s mastered calling the women Auntie and the men Uncle. Vely good. Pass. We’ve been hanging out with her quite a bit going to places that we generally will not go to e.g. Chinatown.
Visit to our old Home
We went back to visit our tenant for the first time since we’ve been away. We needed to dig out our marriage cert from our store room to prove that we’re married for some application we’re doing. Alamak, show you our wedding pictures cannot meh?
It’s so surreal to see our home being occupied by someone else. Quite a funny feeling. Good to hang out at HV once again. I miss that place.
Eating, Meeting up with Friends, Paper Work
The rest of the time we’ve just been doing a lot of eating (beef hor fun, tim sum, nasi lemak, etc), meeting up with friends and running around trying to do different paper work. I actually had two buffets on Friday! I’m thankful for Singapore’s transport system, efficient front desk officers (relatively polite…) and clean toilets. More thankful than ever.
Wah vely shiok to speak in Singlish leh. Ok that’s it. We’ll be back for three weeks and then leaving again. Will update more as we go along!
