Confessions of a City Slicker

BB Willgrant will celebrate his full moon in a few days time and his parents are busy distributing the full moon packages to friends and family.

I got my package this morning and was salivating at the prospect of having nasi kunyit with curry chicken for lunch. Oh, I can just imagine the taste of the sticky yellow rice blended with thick, creamy curry chicken and tender potatoes.

But my heart sank like a rock when I opened the box

Do you see what’s missing????

What’s that cake doing in place of nasi kunyit and curry chicken?

I’m not that familiar with the customs of full moon packages, but I think people don’t adhere to traditions that much anymore. It’s a pity considering Eaton is famous for its curry chicken

I just had to blog about this before I go to bed.

Was watching Burn Notice a while ago and there was this scene where Fi was giving Michael hints on what to get her for her birthday. She tells him about this lingerie shop where she spotted a teddy that will suit her very well.

Guess what? Our ever learned scribes, the people whose task is to translate everything on TV to BM, so our Malaysian public will be able to understand and follow what’s going on, literally translated that line to (drumroll please…)

“Dalam kedai itu ada beruang yang sesuai dengan saya.”

You can guess that I was practically rolling on the floor laughing with tears rolling down my cheeks upon reading that.

Just makes one think that our Malaysian women are so deprived because we don’t know that teddy does not refer exclusively to those adorable bears that we cuddle to sleep and drool over.

They are also cute little things that women wear, not necessarily to sleep, and have the same ability to extract a drooling effect.

And no, they are nothing close to a sarong :p
