Somewhere out there . .

Buying a sandwich ....

An abstract of the conversation......

Me: Aunty, I want a Chicken Sandwich today.
Pantry Aunt: Why? Today you are feeling hungry?
Me: Yes, not sure why I am feeling hungry....
Panty Aunt: Why you have worms in your stomach?
Me: Yeah....I think so...feeling hungry this morning...
Pantry Aunt: Are you pregnant?
Me: Err...No....
Pantry Aunt: You not pregnant?
Me: No....Not pregnant...probably just worms in my stomach.....
Pantry Aunt: How many kids you have?
Me: Err....no kids......
Pantry Aunt: No kids? ....Are you married?
Me: No....not married yet....
Pantry Aunt: Oh ...sorry har.... nowadays....cannot differentiate....(Not sure what she meant by that >.<"")

Now.....my mind is running "wild"...either I looked FAT....or....I looked....师奶 ....or....

Another beautiful kelong scenery

Travelling back to Barelang Bridge, the kids wanted to buy BBQ sweet corns!

There are plently of stalls even at the bridge!

Lobsters!!! Can you see the bubbles? They are STILL alive and kicking after spending more than 7 hours in the bag! There is another big bag of crabs, just stuffed into the fridge when we arrived home.

Err...a bit old for this, but my red packets so far for the Year of Rabbit....
