WENT TO BUY PREZZIES TODAY AT TM! Spent arnd 60+ bucks so far.. zomg. im feeling so generous but i cant find everything that ppl might want.. >.< Spent most of the money at minitoons. There was a kinda cute sales girl there who was trying to psycho me into buying the 4 for the price of 3 tags which i eventually bought because i would have more presents to offer ppl. XD Not because of the cute girl ar. Anw, the shop was pretty crowded and stuffy which wasnt to my liking. Out of the 3 shops which i visited to buy presents, Thewalletshop was the warmest!! zomg. i have a low tolerance for heat. The coolest was of course NTUC supermart where it was spacious and cooooooool. ^^ Now here comes the interesting part.. I was pushing the trolley with groceries and stuff along when i came across this sign. It reads:
PORK BALL
LION DANCEI immediately burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Sure enough, if you're a local, you probably wont take much notice to this sign. Understanding that the stall is advertising for Lion Dance brand Pork Meatballs. Yes i understand the latter fact too, but my bad habit of spotting English syntax errors ESPECIALLY on signs tells me otherwise. And it is the latter which made me giggle continously while i summon my brother to look at the sign. He didnt see anything wrong with it and so i had to account for my amusement. "Cant u see the error in the sign! It says PORK BALL LION DANCE! HOW CAN YOU NOT HELP IMAGINING IF THERE ARE PORK BALLS DOING LION DANCE INSIDE THE DEEP FRYER!" With that, i burst into another fit of giggles. Still he insists that there isnt anything wrong with it. Perhaps it's my vivid imagination or maybe im reading too much into things. I still think that changing the sign to "lion dance pork balls" would be a better fit. Just like how it should be "Cowhead Oat" and not "Oat Cowhead".
Anw, had dinner at Kopitiam where i had IKAN CHOP. XD Awesome. Im still hungry though... WTF. My post got cut off halfway after i posted. i pretty much retyped the entire first part and this part which i am typing now. I think my internet connection is getting sucky.. Otherwise why would my IE and Firefox keep having server errors AND BLOGGER KEEP FAILING TO AUTOSAVE!! RAWRS!! Talking to Shany now. I think she'd be awful glad that i featured her in the post even though it was only a small part of the post. XD HELLO SHANY! Before i want the post-halfway-cut-off-after-posting incident to occur again, i am now copying this entire draft onto notepad before press publish post. =)
