You know a girl is nua when even going for yoga class seems like too much effort.
The cure: Attend yoga, but ditch marking and head out to Geylang for durians instead.

Now the stomach's obscenely full. Five durians between five people is, in fact, one durian too many, especially since Terz and Ming quit on us early in the game. We would've been sated with three, but the last one was unexpectedly sharp, so we went back in a bid for more sweet ones, only to be teased again by one sweet --- heavenly! --- and one that trailed off into mute bitterness.
How to sleep tonight?

You just made me so sad...
and wait... are those your hands?? I believe that's one physical trait we have in common, dear cousin! Your hands look like mine!
Um.
Ahem.
Er...
That's mine actually...
Typing from a place without durains and where the rare rambutans i saw cost like S$5 for a measly few...
The picture is very cruel =(
Oh YM ... what pretty ballerina hands you have!
Oh wait ...
Damn. So still no visible traits shared between the cousins. Thanks for crashing the dream, cousin-in-law!
Heyyy! I'd rather think of them sticks as arms toned from waving around a 2 kg camera all day...
Allow me to tender my apologies for the excessive cruelty wreaked upon the overseas readers. It's just that the photo was too good to pass up.
And alas, those are indeed not my hands. I have short and stumpy fingers. So much for all those piano lessons...
eeyur! you are lucky! and, um, yar, i was quite impressed by the delicate wrist on that durian.
yesterday in chinatown, aunties and uncles were selling fat red rambutans on the street FOR A DOLLAR EACH. CHEH!!!!!!
Sad. I have never heard of durians before. ;)
stellou --- So you find Terz's wrists sexy? :) And rambutans! That's something I haven't had for a while. And mangosteens. Hm. I think a trip to a produce shop is in order.
Lana --- The durian is very much an acquired taste, much more so than say sushi or kimchi. I have only ever known one non-Singaporean who enjoyed it. If you're ever in this part of the world, we'll take you to a fruit stall and see how you react to it :)
was that one non-singaporean my brother?? cos he lerrrves it. while he stinks up the fridge, i go hungry from being unable to open said fridge.
But more importantly, can i just tell you that yesterday, I too, ditched yoga! but mine was to sit in my apartment and watch mindless tv. now who's nua...
Okay, that makes two non-Singaporeans then. I didn't know your brother had developed a taste for durian, though I can't say that I'm surprised.
Hey, I didn't ditch yoga, okay? I went for class, then went for durian. PS: Bet you're way more flexible than me anyways.
hello, no, nobody is saying terz's wrists are sexy. no, crap, wait, that didn't come out as planned. terz, i'm sure some people fine your wrists sexy. me, i just think they are delicate like you are a gu niang. the kind of gu niang with long chiffon sleeves and fine hair blowing in the wind. whereas i am the samsui woman who squats by the roadside to eat rice out of a blue-and-white porcelain bowl.
oh, i have much to thank sbc for. wait, maybe i meant blame. i have much to blame sbc for.
...
no, ok, i meant thank. :-)
Zheng Huifen! Samsui Women! SBC classic.
