i ate tangyuans

the title is indeed politically incorrect. tangyuan should not come in plural. i should really put 汤圆s instead. hahaha yea add the S behind it still! plural... ok enough crap. anyway, i did eat. 8 of them. my parents ate 6 each n stuffed me with 8. wtf?! hahaha... peanut+sesame flavors. peanut flavor comes in pink color, whereas sesame flavor come in white. i ate 2 sesame and 6 peanut. i prefer peanut to sesame. i don't really drink the soup tt comes with it.

where did the tangyuan come from? my friendly neighbor next door gave it to us. they've been giving us the sweet dessert annually now... for at least 4 yrs. for this occasion. about 60 balls of tangyuans everytime. yep. and why do they give us the little balls of yumminess? *note to self: i doubt there's such a word as yummy + ness*

that's cos they are in that business of cos! my neighbor sells tangyuans at the beach road hawker center. at least that's what i hear from my parents all this while. and they've been in this business for over 10years plus by now. the family is quite friendly la. only one daughter-in-law of theirs who's a bitch. now now i don't call people names. my parents call her that. 恶婆喇. V^_^ she doesn't like other people parking in her invisible car park lot outside our houses.

did i mention my other neighbor too? he's some head of dept for mediacorp. cool... i think it's the accounts dept. he invited some celebs over for dinner few years ago i think. familiar faces included chen hanwei and chen xiu li. no biggy.

apparently that's all i can muster in this entry. i heard some funny shit tonight. i wish good luck to chris at his *current* endeavour. muahaha i'm evil.

oh yes i nearly forgot about it. remember i mentioned few days back my friend from sispec called me up and wanted to send me a video? the thing got here. he slipped in a xmas card too. awww. so the thing was the vcd. it really was barely 10mins long. the content? all bullshit crap. everything was American. all sorts of thrashtalking about how people should worry about the recession and current state of economy(in US) to scare the person looking at the video, then comes the pep talk to tell me how i actually can take control of the bullshit and make money. then finally comes this guy that talks sincerely about how the relationship between me and the person who sent me the video(he never contacted me all the while, what relationship? i'm not gay!) is more important than getting me involved. so the final word, what is that bloody video about? I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE!

i remember asking my fren wad was the business about. he said over the phone, "if i can tell you what the business is about over the phone, i wouldn't need to send the vcd to you"... and now that i've seen the video, it didn't fucking tell me what business isit they want me to be involved in! frigging hell i hate these kinda MLM sales tactics. probably credit to the book i read about the games people play at giving concessions to others. i'll use some of the tactics on myself now. i write down and commit that i don't want to be involved in that business.

let me analyse and dissect the tactic here... of course if my friend at first simply told me about the business and asked me if i was interested i'd be more likely to say no than saying yes. so he asks me for my address to send me the vcd. technically by giving my address to him i'd have committed to viewing the vcd. which i did. and the fact that the vcd took 2 days to arrive by mail somehow kept the discussion over the phone on my mind to wait in anticipation for it. another thing my friend did was called me over a land line. i can't sms him straightaway telling him i don't wish to be involved. this gives time for the idea to sink in and me to reconsider. he calls me up to talk and will stir my curiousity. i'd expect him to ask me for a meetup someplace probably the office, to talk more on it. but i'd say no i dun wish to find out more i dun nid the money. who the hell would earn money this easily... here leme give myself a pep talk. i won't fall prey to their system of sales tactics. i don't wish to be involved in their business venture. i wish them good luck and hope my friend will keep me informed if he ever earns big bucks while he's at it. i'll congratulate him and i'll tell him i made more than him in half the time just to hear his jaw drop over the phone.

ok i'm done. next please.

*did i mention i'm a closet pervert? HAHAHA*
