whahaha, it's the time of the year for me to earn money again! yep! it's chinese new year. compared to last year, it came much earlier this year. haha this reminds me of my foolish self 1 year ago. as embarassing as it sounds, i muz admit that only last yr then i got to know wat a fortune cookie actually was. haha so dumb, but then i only knew wat a fortune cookie looked like when i was 17yrs old. all thanks to a super funi incident...
well straight after my O's i went to Ananda Travel with andrew and wenjun to work as a phone operator. andrew and i stayed there for 3 whole months working almost everyday (wenjun left after 1 month coz his jc started). but due to the pleasant working environment with aircon, comfy chairs and free usage of the internet, i had no complaints. all i had to do was to answer phone calls. no phone calls = free time = internet surfing! haha a $6/hr pay was reasonable too. so the week before chinese new year came. every1 was in the CNY mood. and a young colleague (she was only about 21yrs old) bought a big bag of biscuits from guardian pharmacy for the whole office. she distributed and each of us got one.
i've nv seen a biscuit which is shaped like this, and normally biscuits dun jus have 1 per pack, usually its a few biscuits in one packet. but this one only has one. haha i thot it was very cheapopo but since it's free and it's quite a big piece, i accepted it the way it was. well i wanted to ask andrew wat it was, but he was busy talking to customers over the phone. so i opened the packet and stuffed the whole thing into my mouth and i bited and swallowed. to me it tasted ordinary. of coz its worse compared to oreo and chips ahoy, but i didn't compare la coz it isn't even choc flavoured.
a few hours later, i watched as andrew finally took his biscuit to eat. he did it very very differently from me, he opened the packet and held the biscuit in both hands, then he broke it into half. and i was thinking: 'huh, he like tt eat? it's not as if it's char siew pao wat' then after andrew broke it into half, he took out a paper inside it and said: 'hey gerald! haha the fortune cookie says tt i will have good luck tis year.' and i was like....
gerald: WHAT?!!!!!!!!!! U MEAN THERE IS A PAPER INSIDE THAT BISCUIT??!! AND THIS IS ACTUALLY CALLED A FORTUNE COOKIE??!! andrew: ya, this is a fortune cookie wat. u break it open, take out the paper, see how's ur luck and then u eat the cookie. u mean u duno that this is called a fortune cookie ah? gerald: obviously not. andrew: haha nvm at least now u know. so wat did ur paper say? gerald: errr, i didn't break it, i stuffed the whole cookie into my mouth and swallowed andrew: (went into full 5mins of hardcore laughter and thereafter....) omg dun worry, when u shit, u can pray tt it comes out.
whoa, sibei paiseh man. haha coz i really didn't expect it to be fortune cookies, coz it came from GUARDIAN PHARMACY. oh well, at least to start off ur CNY, u all will have sth to laugh abt.. and tt's me. gong xi fa cai!
