The Opera Populaire

Went to Orchard Road today, somewhat expecting to come to a shouting match of sorts with a certain shop that carries a certain international brand, from which my Dad had bought something as a gift to my relative. We felt that there was something amiss with the gift and that turned to indignance that such a world famous brand shd attempt to do something so low. But thank God in the end, we found out that the gift was actually in accordance to the international stipulation of how it shd be made and so the visit turned out very peaceful. I din get to use my line,"Then, I'm afraid I shall have to take it to the press." Hahahaaha...bet u din know Jenn the mamasan can be so fierce hor? Hmm...I dislike falsity of any sort...I try to be as real in my dealings with everybody, including strangers as much as I can. So, the thought of being lied to usually makes me madder than anything else. This includes any sort of hypocrisy or even something that is meant to make me feel better like putting on mask in front of me or telling me white lies. But I know at times, these r inevitable so I have been learning to cut ppl some slack and surrender such hurts to God. At times, I even find myself feeling more comforted by such white lies or masks...hahahaah the irony.

Anyway, about why I suddenly take to calling myself mamasan, it began last nite when I was chatting on MSN with Mr. Shanghai Tan Hanyong. How the deal went must be kept a secret on public domain, but he commented that I sounded like a big time pimp, so I said that I'm not a pimp...I am a mamasan. Ta-da! That's how it came abt. Except that, contrary to wat Weijin said abt me trying to prostitute gals, wat I'm doing is really trying to matchmake them. I dun wanna call myself e matchmaker nor a "mei bo", cos they dun sound exciting enough, so mamasan is the next best thing :p I have 2 assignments to date (all self-imposed of course) and one of them promised to be the most exciting one! Hehehehe I get so excited just thinking abt how to execute it. Anyway, Mr. Shanghai Tan had offered me very good deals, so I am gainfully employed under him hahaahah...now this is the beginning of a triad alright :)

Another thing is that I now understand God's mighty purpose not to let us go to Taiwan! When I saw the news report on the typhoon, I gave a silent prayer of thanks!
