About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

I speak Mandarin selectively!

A bloody cheena piang just called me asking if I know how to speak Mandarin. Something like that happened to me before and I stupidly spoke to her in Mandarin.

So I was stuck with her, and her endless number of questions.

She asked what was my occupation and I didn't feel like telling her anyway. Made it sound like it was something shameful.

Boy, she was damn persistant la. But I perservered and she had no choice but to ask for my name only.

I told her it was Chen Xin Yi. kuakua

Don't asked me how come I just pluck this name for her la.

I told her Chen Xiu Yi, which is actually my chinese name what. But I suppose she's half deaf and heard it as Xin Yi.

Not my fault! Neh nanny neh neh!

And at least I didn't give some stupid chinese compo name like Chen Xiao Li lor! Or Chen Kua Kua. Or Chen Lan Jiao.

This time I'm a little smarter. She kept on asking if I know how to speak Mandarin in Mandarin. And I just kept asking "who is this ar? Who is this ar?" in English.

Was pretty funny though, the more English I spoke, the more anxious she became, as if her life depended on this stupid call.

The last one asked me to go to some sale which probably sounds suspicious enough. If it's legitimate, why do you have to know my occupation, age and name? To assess how much you can con me off? Why can't you give out flyers to promote this sale shit?

Maybe this one's calling to ask why I didn't go. :p

As if I've got nothing better to do than to sit around all day waiting to go for such sales and get conned.

Even if I went, they're probably selling clothes that'll make me look like a China prostitute.

Already I've got screwed up hair that can make me look like a mad woman if not handled properly, and still they wanna make me look like a china prostitute. These evil little twits!
