post-script

Recently, I watched a Local potluck show on youtube.com. It aired on Channel 5 before. I think I was in my lower secondary at that time, but with a primary school boy mind. So you can imagine me being...umm...well ,you know, being very Hi-5ish, Power Rangerish, Hamtaroish etc... I still have my Hamtaro playhouse, who wants?

Im not going to tell the name of the show because it is quite embarrassing that I watch it. Plus I like it. A lot. Ok lar, I'll give you hint: the hosts are Xiaxue and Rosslyn Lee. If you know the answer, then keep to youself.

So, there was one episode which showed the hosts asking Singaporean guys how would they ask their girlfriends' hand for marrige; or just basically how would they propose.

Maybe you already know what the new way of proposing is but I dont. I only learnt it last night. Call me slow.

Well, just let me say that I am so freakin shocked, amazed, appalled, by the new way they have adopt to pop the question. My ears were buzzing in disbelief while my jaw dropped in horror.

It goes like ( Put on an Ah Beng accent for effect) :































"Eh Ah Swee! You want go sign up for HDB?"



OH SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY.

NONONONONO!!! You freakin do not stupid propose like that! What are you? Atrocious!

Is there like a drought in your creativity that you bo pian must propose like that?

Please lor, I dont think so lor. I dont care how rich you are or how savvy your language is. Proposing like that is a big taboo.

The good old go-on-one-knee type of proposing is like the bear minimum.

I wont go into other retarded proposing techniques like the boy hides the ring in a char siew bao than purposely offer it to the girl then tthe girl eats the boa and finds a shiny-but-rather-char-siew-red ring in her mouth between her chomps then giggles and nods her hand in response then both embraces each other, because its so lame.

Oh my,I better stop because I dont wanna give some of you morons ideas.
