Will's Fountain of Useless Info: Reloaded

I'll be going for yet another wedding dinner later today. Earlier this morning, joined a few friends to help the groom "bring back the bride" (接新娘).

The girl friends of the bride really EFNBTD (eat full nothing better to do)... apply hair removal wax on our legs and then peeled them off. No it's not really painful at all... but now my leg's got a bloody bald rectangular patch, and I'm going for diving next week! #$%^&@$%^@$... hahahaha.

Other than hair removal, they have us drink some funny juice... bittergourd, lemon, honey, chili all blended in. I cheated and only took 2 sips. :P Then they make us pass around a piece of chili with our mouth (but not spicy la the chili, no challenge). Finally they put keys in whipped cream and got 3 "heng dai"s to fish it out with their mouth.


Come to think of it... I've participated in a lot of these "接新娘" events of my friends... I've been the camera man (video cam), the "heng dai", the "ji mui", the driver, the best man... I think if there's a resume for this, mine would be 5 pages long or something... LOL

UPDATE:
I've put up my "bald spot" picture on facebook :P

On the 4th of June, our "brilliant" government decided to drop the bomb, announcing that our fuel prices will be semi-floating... with Petrol going on a RM0.78 hike, while Diesel going on a RM1.00 hike, to be reviewed every month from now on. And what do they do as compensation? A measly RM625 cash rebate for car owners with vehicles less than 2000cc. That's probably the amount an average working class would spend for petrol in a month (with the latest rate).

Just a few days back before the incident, I was discussing with my dad on the issue of banning vehicles from neighbouring country from fueling up in M'sia. I was just saying, maybe they should reduce the subsidy, then give us some kind of tax or cash rebate. Speak of the devil... because it actually happened. But not at the kind of rates I would expect.

Now everything is going up... flour, sugar, cooking oil, rice, now petrol... except for our salary. What to do? Freelance? Moonlighting? Do part time jobs? Or like what our government says, "change lifestyle"? Rubbish.
