A special day..

Thurs was my birthday.. never get to celebrate.. no present.. first time brithday no present leh.. not even from my parents.. just a typical brithday card from my dad.. haha.. lots of love on the card.. a bit er xin leh.. haha.. okay okay.. I should not say that.. it's my dad mah.. and they sang birthday song for me at 0000 sharp.. another typical birthday thing to do.. haha.. they very act cute de.. that day was also qing ming jie but however we don't go and pay respect to ancestors exactly that day as we can go any day during the week.. my parents and uncle and auntie went to Malaysia today to pray to my paternal granny.. I didn't get to go.. feel quite bad.. as I need to stay at home to do homework and study.. I had bought a paper jewellery set for My parents to bring there to be burn to my granny.. this actually the first time I do it.. don't know why I just feel that I should do it.. as I have never done anything for her and meet her in my life..

I am quite happy now actually as I am finishing my chem eng hw.. doing this hw is so frustrating.. but I really feel a sense of fulfilment doing it.. and I always do not bad for it.. hee..

okay back to my birthday.. it was a boring day.. no celebration and need to go to sch for an hour lesson.. hai~ but luckily the next day is Good Friday.. actually in the year I am born, my birthday actually fall on qing ming and good friday.. I always hope that my birthday can fall with good friday again.. don't know whether it can happen or not.. fall on qing ming has been happening most of the years but not good friday.. since good friday is a holiday, my parents and I went to eat a good dinner.. another usual way of celebrating birthday for my family.. this time round.. I don't want to eat at good and aircon restaurant but eat at kopi shop.. eat something that we don't eat usually and so my dad brought us to geylang..

my dad has been telling me that place sell good frog leg porridge and also sell other stuff like fried oyster that I like and the opposite is a famous beef hor fun stall.. I thought that it was a place that I never been to.. when I reach this shop called xin lai at geylang lorong 9.. I know where it is liao.. it is where I played shi ri lu kou with zeus during scamp.. haha.. never know it is the same place that my dad is saying.. haha.. I have ate the beef hor fun before.. not very very special lah..

feels good eating at a place which is much more special.. with natural air and under the good weather.. not very hot.. though the air not very clean lah.. the tables just by the roadside.. haha.. my mum very fussy.. choose seats and change here and there.. becos she is afraid of the dirt from the car exhaust.. aiyoo.. I think she forgot that when she is young, she also ate at these places and leave in kampong and never mind about the cleaniness.. now she old liao.. then become so particular about the cleaniness and hygiene..

My parents and I happily eating there.. haha.. my mum like to act cute.. but my face so fat.. so ugly..

the fried oyster and stingray.. the stingray is really really hot and spicy.. My dad at first bought oyster egg on hotplate.. not fried one.. but I like the fired one more.. so he bought a small fried oyster for me.. hee hee...
the frog legs and porridge.. but I finished them haha.. a pot with few frog legs cost $8 and the porridge costs $2.. a pot of frog leg not enough lor.. need 2 then enough.. this dish is highly recommended.. really really very nice..

After dinner, we walked to my dad's "car".. haha.. should be taxi.. the road just beside the kopi shop is packed so he has to parked further away.. and then the adventure for me begins..

as we walked down lorong 8 or 10.. haha.. forgot which one liao.. but I know is even number.. I saw many many men walking around.. up and down the road.. as we venture inner.. we reached some small and cheap hotels, I started to see women dressed quite skimpily and sexily standing or sitting by the roadside and at the entrance of the hotels.. and some of them are approached by the guys.. now I know who are them.. I never walk on these streets before.. and I don't think I dare to walk there alone.. walking with my parents.. I also will feel weird there.. and I always want to stay close to them.. haha.. me a bit scared.. never see so many people walk on the street before other than at orchard and somemore majority are guys leh.. after passing one street of Chinese gals.. we reached our car and as my father drove out of another lorong, we saw that this street belongs to the malays girls.. many of them stationed themselves at the roadside and in front of the hotel like some display like that while some old men and foreign workers are looking at them like some hungry wolves.. can see that many of the gals are quite young.. don't know whether they are underage but many should be from foreign countries.. just like the chinese who don't seem to be locals.. my mother says they are very pitiful.. I also think so.. but is this a career that these gals must do to earn money.. is there no other way out for them? I think they all have their own stories to end up there..

Surprisingly, not all the guys are old men, there also some young people walking here and there.. some of them drive motorcycle and chaffeur some of the girls.. I think they are not customers but pimps bah.. used women to earn money.. not good guys at all..
