I realised that my blog might be roughing up some people. Got my first hate msg on my previous entry from a person called Gnip. Never heard of this person before though and I wonder why he/she seemed to seriously object to my previous entry. Maybe he/she felt she (let's stick to gnip as a she, so I don't have to keep typing he/she) would have won the eating competition if I hadn't taken up one of the six places available and ate for fun. Well, I guess if I have a chance to make it up to her for missing out on the free food, I could offer her some food in return to satisfy her greed. Have some fabulous Cheesesticks to offer her. As much as I would like to eat the Cheesesticks myself, that is the only food I have now that I can offer to show my sincerity. These wonderful Cheesesticks were made by my long-time friend pingpong, and I love them as much as I love to eat bee hoon. But, offering my prized possession to gnip is the only way to show how apologetic I am for offending her in any way. Gnip, if you see this, do accept my offer of Cheesesticks and make peace with me.
Somehow, I was wondering whether my hate mailer typed her name wrongly. Its hard to imagine a person having a name Gnip. Or maybe that's her surname, sounds more like a surname than a name huh. Like on of those funnily spelt surnames like Ngo (like trini's friend Noel Ngo) or Nguyen (which is vietnamese) etc etc. But how would you pronouce Gnip? Would the "G" or the "N" be silent? Is it gonne be pronounced as "Gip" or "Nip"? Think "Nip" sound more like a possible surname that originated from some less known dialect. Heard of surnames similar to this, for example, "Lip" is one of those less common surnames. So if we have established that Gnip is her surname, and it should be pronounced as "Nip", what is her first name? I think it would be really cool if her name was Pearl and she is one of those that put their surnames in front of their first names, for example, Han Alex or Tan Julie. My hate mailer would thus be Gnip Pearl. Pronounced "Nip-Pearl".
I hope Gnip Pearl would read my blog more light-heartedly and not be offended by anything I write on my blog. People like pingpong and Trini who have clocked the most web space on my blog since its founding have all been really sporting about the stuff I write. Hope you would too!
Anyway, before I wrote this I went to pingpong's blog and she somehow managed to get a copy of my matric card photo. I wonder how. Anyway, she thinks its really cute. Awww...thanks gal! So I thought I also share some of her cute pics here too! Was trying to give her some ideas for a halloween party...
But, in the end we decided that she should just go as herself.
