My Past Life

Haven't updated in some time- snagged a draft written some time ago. haha!
_________________________________________________________

I told fav I must have been a cat in my past life.

She said she feels the same. haha

Maybe we were all cats *meow*

Anyway, reason why I say that.

My primary school chinese teacher is this interesting chap with lotsa stories to tell us. He's the Jack Neo of Jurong loh. (Emerged with this phrase, coz just heard from a friend that his teacher used to tell him that Commonwealth Sec School is the RI of Jurong haha!)

Oh, oh... i feel a need to digress.

Went to D's friends convo on 4th July. One of his buddy is currently teaching Commonwealth Sec before he goes NIE. Which is now at the old RV site at Teban. (Hey! And i think RV moved to Commonwealth area b4...?!)

Another of D's buddy was the one who studied at the RI of Jurong.

Summarising our Commonwealth ties:
1. BL teaching at Commonwealth Sec
2. Dan used to study at Commonwealth Sec
3. I stay next to old Commonwealth Sec (Sis used to study there) & currently Commonwealth Sec is located at old RV site (I used to study at RV)
4. D= Out of point.

Anywayz, coz we had dinner quite late, @ 11.30, we had to take cab home. Jokingly told cab uncle: (We were juz talking amongst ourselves actually, din think uncle knew what we were talking about. haha)
"Uncle, first drop this guy who is teaching at Commonwealth Sec. Next, drop this lady who stays at the block next to the old Commonwealth Sec. Lastly, drop this guy who really used to study at Commonwealth Sec."
Well. Private joke.

Ok. Back to Mr Yap. He had this theory: Basically when translated from Chinese, it implied that when 1 person says it, its crap. When 2 persons say so, its of some credibility. When 3 persons mention it, its the TRUTH.


3 persons who have called me a meow:

Shall give JM the honor of being the first la. He said I'm like a cat. Always leaning here and there. Like very lazy. Thanks uh. I appreciate it. *snarl*

Next, XL, the girl who sat next to me in sec4. Her nickname for me is 'GarGar' (not some lovey-dovey thingy like darling= DarDar) Its simply short for Garfield.
Not too far from the truth ya?! Sleepy, droopy eyes and immense interest in FOOD.

The most recent- S, my colleague. One day, she juz suddenly commented " You remind me of a cat"
Now she calls me Kitty Cat.

So over a period of 10 years, I've been linked to cats.

Of course, its not just based on these people's comments. I used to hate when pple commented that i'm like a cat. Upon reflection... i AM indeed quite cattish. Nua qualities firmly in place. I'm not sure about having 9 lives though...

I used to hate the black cat that lurks around my void deck and flashed its green eyes at me every morning. And the one cat i used to hate the most is the Persian cat. Thought its the worst breed ever- high and mighty, sleeps on armchairs and lush carpets, have luxurious food etc. You get the idea. Ironically, NOW, if i have to be a cat, I so want to be a Persian Cat- Its the tai-tai of Cats society.

Dream on, alley cat.

Wo shi mao, meow meow meow...

It doesn't mean when the third person say it it's the truth. It only means, as more and more people perpetuate what is not true, people may come to believe it's the truth! Golly!

Which brings me to the 4 words below
