listening to : stand by me *old but definitely gold*
it was a sat & the sun was shining, birds chirping, and hey! if you were imaginative enough could prob see a rainbow peeking out of somewhere.. u get my idea d day was gorgeous! and to add to the perfection was the thought of Singapore Day with its whole promise of free FOOD, CHU KANG, mr DICK lee *dun look at me i did not name him* and FOOD *get my point?*
so we got on d tram, woke up early & even skipped breakfast cuz of d oh-so-magical-F-word that promises us many many things to come!!
BUT i found out d hard way, THIS man, makes u work 4 your food!
some would say sing for your supper but nonono nothing's so simple in life, nothing can be handed to u in a silver platter, when u WORK for your food.. it's gonna taste betta!.
we Malaysians do not understand this concept because.. alamakk everywhere got mamak stall.. no need work and everyone's SLACK! right?
so we copied the locals and this is what we did..
THIS!
and THIS!
until everybody ended up looking like.. THIS!
BUT all's good & well because after one and a half hours, the gates of paradise open to us..
not only that!
going in ar.. like airport check in terminal k? dun play play.. check bag laaa.. cannot bring water laaa.. then again it makes sense.. if anyone were to bomb the place.. half of singapore population in melb die.. macam mana?! who wanna explain to D BIG MAN?!
so all is good at last, with the promise of food & goodie bags.. apa apa pun boleh la!
after getting in, it was a whole SEA of singaporeans *asians* and guess what they do doing!
lining up 4 bak cho mee
lining up for bak kut teh
sooo apa boleh buat?! line up also la! gotta join in d singaporean kiasu-ness-i-want-everything-NOW fun! so we did it! and D BIG MAN really made it all worth it!
d curry mee was awesome, smooth, full of flavour with crispy crispy stuffs also which i have no idea what they are but they're heaven-sent!
it's either d food was already awesome or d waiting & hunger made it awesome, either way i dun care i get my makan!
so we had our curry mee, chic wing *which i lined up one hour for*
dun laugh ar! after lining up one hour, my chic wing just HAS to taste better than any other i have ever tasted!
this whole lining up for chic wing was SERIOUSLY tantalising to senses k.. at 45 mins all u can see are the amount of people in front of u.. then you're not very sure whether the chic wing will feed all of u.. what if not enough? what if d fat aunty in front of u takes for a million other people?
THEN! when it comes to half an hour, u see smoke.. u see familiar chic wing bbq-ing smoke..
and at 15 mins.. u SMELL d oh-so-familiar smell of chic wing..
and VIOLA! when you're there.. aunty give u 3 pieces with chili & garlic sauce!
all worth it!
all in all it was a fantastic day filled with people you've not met for a while, people u see everyday, food, tons of goodie bags, food, and great weather!
oh yes not forgetting Mr Yellow-Boots
note: yellow boots = Phua Chu Kang
it was a great day! and all d lining up in a queue, pushing from AH SOH, goodie bags, KAYA were all things familiar to home and it was a fantastic day well spent in the company of friends & strangers alike.
till next time!
muaxx!
