hi... it's me again... ahpa or ah gong..
anyway, i m going to tell u bout what happened to me during the trip to Hong Kong n Macau n GuangZhou..
ME N MY SISTER ARE MISTAKEN AS TWINS FOR LIKE WHAT, 4$ TIMES!!!!!!!
1st time:
where: At the departure hall in S'pore..
Who: the customs or the gate, you noe, the security guards or officers who check if you got your air tickets n stuff like that..
How it happened: so me n my sister where innocently walking through the gate.. then our passports n air tickets were checked.. all okay, so we trotted in.. then, this officer went:" Hey, Look!! Twins!" at his fellow colleages n then everyone was like starring at us... then my sis went:" No lah, we are just sisters." N then the officer looked at us with disbelieving eyes( i think that he don;'t believe us that we are just sisters) and then we just went off....
2nd time:
where: HongKong, in the bus
who: this tall tall female tour guide
How it happened: oh, we took a day tour in HK, so when we were on the tour bus, the tour guide had a head count before we sent out for the first attraction.. me n my sister were sitting together again... 'cause throughout the whole trip my mama was sitting with my papa n i was sitting with my sis... so anyway, then the tour guide (i forgot her name) went in Cantonese:" are you all twins?" she said the 'twins' in english n then you noe, i m still struggling to learn Cantonese.. so i didn't noe what she was toking bout but only regconise the last english word"twins" n then i was "where? where got twins" ( i thought is really the 'twins' lah.. as in the singer) n then my sister went 'no, no, just sisters" in cantonese n then i realise what happen n feel so dumb..
ok, i dunno what i m toking bout.. ignore the previous paragragh, just noe that i was mistaken as twins with my sis two times already..
3rd time:
where: Macau, in a shop selling bags
who: the shopkeeper
How it happened: me n my mama n my papa n my sis went shopping at Macau.. then we saw this black NiKE bag on display.. n it looks quite nice.. so i told my mama that i want that bag.. so we went into the shop n started bargaining( my mama was superb in the art of bargaining.. n then in Macau you can bargain all u like one, B'cos there got a lot of shops selling the same stuffs, so compeition is tough n then the shopkeeper have no choice to lower the price so that we would buy..) Anyway, then the shopkeeper asked if we are twins and as usual, we said, no, and then the shopkeeper went "really? you two look really alike.. "and then we just smiled, ya, so likle that lah.. oh ya, we bought the bag at the end at like 3/4 of the original price and my mama bought me a pink one *yuck* instead of the nice black one.. then she said that if i don't take that pink one then she will buy me more skirts and then she said to take it or else i will be wasting her efffort in bargainng.. blah blah blah.. so at the end i gave in and tok the pink one.. so next year i will be carrying a pink bag to school *sobs*
4th time:
where: the optical shop in GuangZhou ( is it called 'optical shop??? i dunno, anyway, it's the shop that sells spectacles and contact lenses)
who: the person who working at the shop..
How It Happened: my mama saw that they were selling spectacles at low prices ( at least cheaper than in S'pore).. so anyway, then she was like:" wah.. not very expensive.. Ying ( that's what everyone at home call me) you want new spectacles a not?" and then i said:"sui3 bian4 lor" and so we went in.. there, i spoted thais every nice, at least i think it is quite cool, blac colour half frame spectacles n told my mom that that was nice.. and then my sis was like:" let me see.." n then the person asked whether we are twins.. coz we look very alike.. then like previous occasions, we said no and ya la.. that's how it happened.. oh ya, my mama decided to buy me this pinkish red one.. so uncool.. anyway, ya...
oh ya.. after that, when we were on the plane back to s'pore, me n my sis went to discussing bout if we really look alike... we had a debate n i disagreed that we look alike.. my sis took the stand that we look quite alike...these are the reasonable points that we raised:
1st point: Height Difference
i pointed out that we were different in height.. i m 163 cm n she is 165cm.. plus i hunch normally, so that makes me look shorted n thus we look different.. my sis said that height diference don't count b'coz twins can be diferent in height too.. n a few cm don't make a big difference..
so i lost in this point..
to be continued... in the next post..
