KuKuNehNeh expected some friends over last Saturday and so she decided to whip up a feast for us like she did the last time for me. This bunch of six girls (including KuKuNehNeh) are called “The Nuttz”. The Nuttz consists of the following members in no particular order.

1. Jacqueline the “Zebra”

2. Yanling the “Monkey”

3. Audrey the “Rat”

The pictures are actually from our party last Christmas but I stumbled over it and found it so funny that I have to use it in this post.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! (They are all so going to kill me)

We had 9 people for the party including the six nuttz, and three boyfriends. We had to draw lots to see who would represent an unfortunate animal.

I was one of the 1st to be ‘painted’ and KuKuNehNeh volunteered to do it. She totally messed up and our resident artist, Audrey, had to do some touch-up but the damage was already done.

I REALLY DIGRESS TOO MUCH! Anyway, back to last Saturday; We went out for an early breakfast in the morning before shopping for the ingredients and she had a shopping list.

If you see the above, it lists the ingredients for the Soup as,

1. Bah Kut

2. Corn

3. Carrot

4. Red dates

5. DOG???

Before I explain further, these are the dishes she came up with.

And of course the focus is on the soup which apparently has ‘DOGS’ in it!

Eh… No dog leh!

Chey!… actually ‘dog’ refers to this lar.

They are actually Chinese Wolfberry which are called “Gao Ki” in hokkien which translates as “Dog’s Teeth”. KuKuNehNeh doesn’t know the former and she only remembers it as “Dog Something”.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!

My FREE Mayday Concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium

I was pretty lucky to have been offered 2 tickets for free to Mayday’s (五月天） concert, held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on the 26th April. It was a gift from my Uncle who is one of the senior directors at the Indoor Stadium. SHIOK RIGHT? JEALOUS ANOT???

On an unrelated note…

I brought up to Ruifang on Saturday that almost all the bloggers call their other half or their close friends by nicknames.

Sheylara calls him The Goonfather.

Rinaz calls him CartCart.

Peggy Chang calls him MiuMiu

Xiaxue calls her mum MoMo

So, from now onwards, Ruifang is known as KuKuNehNeh. (Don’t flame me. Half of it was her idea)

.

So, KuKuNehNeh and I were quite kiasu and we left Ang Mo Kio 2 hrs before the concert at 8pm. It was a wise choice in the end as the car park at the stadium was quickly filled up not long after we arrived at 6.30pm. Being the lazy asses that we are, we concluded that it was too far to join our friends for dinner at Leisure Park. What did we do to curb the hunger?

Eat BAO at 7-11 lor.

The both of us weren’t big time fans of Mayday and I only really listened to 2 old albums of theirs and KuKuNehNeh has only listened to ONE. Having such little love compared to the swarm of people flooding the stadium, we can’t help but snigger at the youngsters posing with their Mayday t-shirts and laugh at the crazy energy of the throngs of fans (*cough* Yiting *cough cough* Yanling *cough*) inside the stadium.

One such crazy fan was ’sitting’ to the right of us. I wouldn’t say sitting actually, because she was standing up more than 3/4 of the time and blocking our view. She was shaking her booty, bouncing up and down, nodding her head with fury and playing with imaginary drums with her two blue light sticks.

At certain points in time, she really look like she was having spasms. Nearing the end of the concert, one of her light sticks flew out of her hand and into the sky, and landed right in front of us. Without breaking the beat of her spasm-y dance, she turned her head and looked at the group of us sheepishly. Realizing that her blue lightstick is gone, she promptly takes out another stick. EVEN MORE POWER ONE!!!

The couple to my left laughed and said,

“Wah! Got spare!“

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The band really had a lot of energy and knows how to keep the crowd going and I really love the tone of 阿信’s voice. It’s a pity that me and KuKuNehNeh enjoyed their old hits so much more. Many of their new hits don’t have that kind of impact and identity that the old ones have. All the above reduced our enjoyment of the show.

All the above…. and that spasm-y woman.
