A lemon or a Cherry?

Good question isn't it? My "ex" has so many recalls that I will become a regular at the dealer because the problems have to be fixed. My SST gearbox is also so hard to fix that only the dealer will be able to plonk in a new gearbox if mine blows up.... That is why I am biting the bullet and going to them for regular servicing. Thank god I am not driving a merc or beemer, but the servicing fee is still quite hefty!!! So did I get a lemon or is it still a cherry? The jury is still out on that because I myself do not know.

It is just like the recent controversy of the HDB, the HDB says that they are providing the bare necessities that we require and even Minister Mah says that in his time, a 3 room flat was a palace. Well, brother, I am from the same era.... Yes we did live in rather squalid conditions where water was taken from the kampung well and it was a scary adventure to go out in the middle of the night to pee or take a dump... Especially when you have a stupid mother who says "beware of the pontianak" when you go out!!! But brother, if you ask a kid how he shits now, he or she will say a toilet bowl.... Most of the post 1980's batch do not even know that a squatting toilet ever existed. Well, the 1980's batch is now the young new generation who are looking for houses. Of course they will want to have better facilities than what they had before. If they came through a childhood where they had to run all the way to the outhouse and be aware of the pontianak, then they would know what a palace is!!!.... Again, lemon or cherry???

And talking about pontianaks, we were really a simple bunch of goondoos back then. Being told that some ghost or ghoully would scare the heck out of us back then. Imagine, energizer rabbit told me one fine dark... scary morning before I walked through a slightly forested place, next to a river to school... "Be careful hor... people say a pontianak escaped from Malaysia hor"... Seriously I think her lack of brain power sorta was a long term sort of thing that came from when I was young... It may not be Alzheimer's dementia... But she is just plain stupid?

Haizzzzz. Lemons and cherry's... No matter how sweet something is in the beginning, it will still become sour in the end... heee heee....

And talking about sour, just a few days ago, I was really suspicious that my wife's milk..... The reason, we chinese have a saying... "on the 7th month, the baby will sit down, the 8th she will crawl and 9th she will start to sprout teeth". So Tina is beginning to sit and my father in law bought her a chair and she was trying it out. And it tickled her so pink that she was laughing out so loudly and for so long that I suspected that my wife's milk was fermented and Tina was drunk... Hee heee... I really miss my two darlings.....
