day five

the flat just recovered from bursting wide open with unexpected guests. my first uncle and aunt-in-law had just arrived less than half an hour ago for their weekly lunch with my grandfather, and my grandfather's sister and some members of her family arrived to visit, re: the lunar new year.

two more ang paos, i guess it isn't all bad. but i was playing The Sims 2. and i was just managing to get Mary-Sue Pleasant to recover from discovering her husband making out with the maid, and the subsequent, very messy divorce after [he asked the maid to move in, she broke up with him which forces him out the house, leaving the maid behing to contend with her]. now do take note that i didn't start anything. when i loaded the Pleasant family's game Daniel was already in love with the maid, and though still married to Mary-Sue, nothing more than friends with his wife. i just handled it in the best way i know, from observing the Khoo life.

[to photographer] I've got her!
You cannot keep a roomful of Anglo-Saxons waiting for cake this long. They start to form more clubs.
[to photographer] Take her, take her, take her!"
