Jamie was pissed
coz i have developed this habit of zooming into ppl's faces after the pics have been taken on our digicam and seeing their expressions up close, warts and all.
then i say,
"HA JAMIE! u look funny!"
and she'll be like,
"can u stop it? it's very annoying leh."
it's really becoz we take so many grp pics with friends of our parents, so our faces always come out really small, especially when we take pics at scenic landscapes.
so i find the zoom in function really useful.
except of course i think i kindda abuse the function and play too much with it, coz once i zoomed in so close to Jamie's face that it looks like those huge "Missing Person" headline photos u see in the newspaper.
yea jamie got really pissed = ="
not funny.
anyway, i've started calling joyce a Thing.
no ill meanings, really, just a friendly, sisterly nickname or sth.
coz when she laughs really hard and giggles the way she does, her face would split into this really huge toothy grin and she'll quiver like a live toy, so i said she looks like this smiley, twitching Thing.
there's like no better word to use at that time, though "Mouse" would have been pretty close too.
but she looks more like a Thing than a Mouse.
going off on a tangent,
Jamie insists that the game on neopets, "Meepit Juice" is an educational game, coz it's classified under 'Educational' but frankly i think it's just a whole load of random clicking.
and she lost at Cheat.
how is that even possible on neopets?
we went to Wu Han University today and then over to the Hu Bei Museum.
quite interesting, we looked at artefacts from the various dynasties and also the human evolution process.
but then jamie and i still got really bored.
jamie was more bored than me,
and we called each other "no culture".
sad, really.
we got lost in one of the exhibitions and couldn't find the exit, so we went back and came out from the entrance only to find the exit next to it.
and i decided that the most boring job in the world is to be a museum exhibition guard.
u just look smart in that uniform but ur only job is to tell ppl to keep off the exhibition glass and get glared at.
and ur only companions are artegacts and skeletons.
SAD.
oh and i probably haven't mentioned this before, but before we came to china, jamie and i made a pact or sth.
we said that while we are in china, we would have to try and find one guy that all three of us (meaning including joyce) agree he is shuai4.
sounds easy right?
2mths in china and travelling all around?
there's bound to be at least ONE guy on the streets all 3 of us can agree on?
but it's been 3wks and still zilch.
i mean, please,
i've seen at least 2,
but jamie and joyce are like,
BLEECCK WHAT IS THAT?
sigh what's wrong with some ppl.
i saw another one at the museum today.
jamie's like,
"tsk tsk jenny. coming to museums to look at guys ah."
like i shld be looking at the dead ppl.
but come on,
not like i was actually LOOKING at guys.
it was she who reminded me of our pact when she said, "hmm we still haven't found one yet hor."
so then i looked around real casually and saw him.
i thought he looked really cute,
he had this child-like keenness abt him,
going around taking photos of the artefacts and checking things out with his friends.
it's not everyday u see a guy interested in museums.
it's probably the best place to find a bf, or a library, my personal favourite.
anyway.
i nicknamed him ANDI, coz he was wearing a jacket with an ANDI brand name across it.
jamie was like,
"WHAT! YUCK LA JENNY!
HE'S HORRIBLE!"
so she asked joyce what she thought when we next bumped into him at another exhibition on another floor, and joyce said the same thing.
i felt injustice for him.
seriously.
they probably didn't look at him carefully enough.
hummph.
then when we left the museum, sth really funny happened.
jamie said (no offence to anyone out there),
"i don't like china boys."
and i thought she said "china STUFF", as in like ancient artefacts in museusm etc.
so i said,
"oh, i like them,
but i don't like just looking at them, i like someone explaining them to me, like a tour guide. u rmb that time we went to beijing and had that guide? yea that was nice and..."
that's when jamie stopped me and asked me what rubbish i was saying.
and then of course i realise my mistake.
and it was hilarious.
coz if u take what i said and placed it in the context of jamie's statement, it has a totally different meaning.
imagine having a tour guide explaining to me the boys we meet in china!
"this is so and so from the province of Hu Bei.
Born in the year of the dragon, he enjoys a variety sports and exels in blahblahblah."
haha. not everyday conversations like this take place.
so anyway, yea the search is still ongoing.
though it seems to be doomed to certain failure.
sigh.
jamie says i'm screwed.
coz apparently i like "horrible looking" guys, according to her.
but i said that she's the screwed one, coz her standards are so super high.
and joyce nonetheless upholds her belief that one day i'll marry someone with glasses and freckles, though she has been kind enough recently to take the "freckles" quality out of her prophecy.
so yep, according to joyce, my bf/husband will be a nerd.
which is fine, i like nerds, everyone knows that.
hmm ANDI has glasses.
