Name:
Location: Singapore

A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Am I suay or what?

Sometimes, people whom you hope not to see..just appears before you no matter how hard you're trying to avoid them..

It happened yesterday, it happened today. Ok lah, I wasn't actually avoiding cos I didn't see a need to do so (Mum was the only one who was trying to avoid).

Because my Mum has been very unsatisfied with the hairstylists she goes to all the time, you tend to see her at different salons. It's only recently she decided to stick by Quest in Raffles City. Before then, there was a period of time she went to Supercuts in Parkway, and her hair was under the care of this guy called Alan. Oh manz, he's good looking. Tall, handsome, nice hair etc. Mum thinks it's a pity that he's married (why the hell is she pitying him for being married manz..).

Anyway, we were at Parkway yesterday cos Mummy wanted to go shopping for CNY. Sometimes, it's good to be kiasu ya know? She's worried she can't get any dresses when CNY is coming, so she's trying to stock up clothes asap. We got so sianz in Parkway that we were blindly going to every level, and soon, she wanted to go to the toilet. We were at the level where Supercuts is. That salon's on the right side of the escalator, while the toilet's on the left side. Mum, trying her utmost to avoid bumping into Alan, told me not to walk near Supercuts.

THEN....just as she was walking to the toilet..Alan was on his way out from the same passageway to the salon. I didn't want to accompany Mum into the Ladies, so I went to take a seat outside instead. It was then I heard their voices. I was shocked and trying very hard to control my laughter outside.

When Alan came out of the passageway and saw me, we had a short chat, and he went back to his salon. I continued waiting for Mum and when she got out from the toilet, she had that "how come I'm so suay..." look...hahahaha. I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she knew exactly what I was laughing madly about because she couldn't control her laughter as well.

I'm wondering who watched "Huan Le Dian Feng" last night on Channel 8. If you did, you probably caught the very famous Steven Lim (the Orchard Road eyebrow plucker) on TV, scaring the poor judges to tears, and driving Mark Lee so mad that he just walked off and refuse to continue hosting. I was laughing so much when I saw how insane Steven got on TV. And he actually stripped in the show! Goodness gracious. I personally don't think his figure is attractive, and I have absolutely no idea why he loves exposing himself.

I heard that he lurks around Orchard Road for some reason I'm not sure of, but from the way he behaves, I don't think it's a pleasant experience to actually meet him in person.

Just when I thought I'm lucky enough to not bump into such an insane person in Orchard, I actually did...TODAY!

And that insane person's none other than Steven Lim himself (manz..pls save me..)

I was happily walking outside Tangs when I saw Steven Lim. I was trying hard to stay away. He looked as if he's gonna spring onto some stranger, and I definitely don't wish to be THAT stranger. Then, just when I was trying to siam, I realised that Steven's target's me! OH DEAR! He did a "WAH LAH!!! Here's Me!!!!!" jump...erm...the one with the arms widely spread out like as if you're gonna hug an old friend u've not seen for decades, with a very very widely opened mouth.

I freaked out. I wasn't the least interested in what he wants (most likely wanna pluck my thick bushy brows). All I wanted to do is get away from him as far as possible.

Steven: Hello, can I have minute? Can you speak english?
Michelle: *eyes wide open in a shocked expression, vigorously shaking my head and hands in the "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" manner*

Damn..I should have just faked as some innocent Japanese (I had Jap books in my hand, so even if I don't look like one, I can probably just lie my way through?) and go "Wakarimasen...wakarimasen". Anyway, I didn't do that. Too shocked.

Oh boy, I hope to not see him ever again manz. I was so worried he'll just suddenly strip himself in Orchard today...yikes...*shivers*
