Ah ma in wonderland..

Woke up at 11+ today by my mother who insisted the sun was "shining on my butt" when the sun is obviously being hidden by the clouds. Had lunch which was a most interesting porridge with "cai poh neng" (egg with .. wtf is cai poh?) and.. chicken and tofu and mushrooms mixed in an evil broth which tasted super salty. Oh well, its acceptable to my ah ma who likes her dishes salty.

After that my mother went for the fortnightly KTV session and my dad had to bring her there. They took the grey scooby there, yes, it WAS white but due to days or weeks or neglect it is almost grey now... haha! So left me and ah ma and ah ma wanted to go to "si ma lu" which is .. Rochor road? Or Victoria street.. oh whatever anyway she wanted to go to the "Guan Ying Tang" and say her prayers etc as well as to buy some sea cucumber. So as we set off it started to drizzle (great) and as we were nearing Newton Circus it started pouring. Gah! Ok so I dropped my ah ma off with my aunt (I picked her up halfway) and then searched for parking. So damned lucky, some Lexus just turned out of a carpark and then I went to "chop" the parking lot in a most triumphant manner (yes by turning your hazard lights on...).

So, aiyah long story short..
1. I went to say my prayers as well to the "tian gong" and then "guan yin"
2. Accompany ah ma and aunt to the market to buy sea cucumber.

Oh and my ah ma is the type that is super sociable so when she walked into this shop she picked her sea cucumber then the salesmen or rather the shop assistants were super courteous to her. At first they asked her "auntie le ai simi?"(what are you looking for?) Later it turned into "ah ma, lai wa gia yi hor le zheh.."(ah ma, I'll get a chair for you) Haha, she soon psychoed the assistants to offer her the sea cucumbers at a lower price but in the end it was still very expensive. I had no idea sea cucumbers fetched such a high price..

1.6kg of sea cucumbers cost SGD $208.50 and ah ma slashed it to $200.
Not bad already, she had 2 assistants calling her ah ma, had a chair to sit on and still had $8 discount..

That was basically it, ah ma in the land of mushrooms, he bi (small dried shrimps) and sea cucumbers.. she was totally ecstatic I can vouch. Haha~

Came home rested a bit, slacked here and there before falling asleep and waking up for a nice dinner which was immediately followed by an arrow.. wash car. Zzz its now white again, poor Scooby!
