yesterday was superb. guess where i was at?
pasar malam.
you know, now that we're of a certain age, we feel that the games at the pasar malam are so embarrassingly passe, and we wouldnt be caught dead near them?
now imagine you had loads of money (in comparison to silly games that cost $2-$3 a pop), loads of time, and not much places to spend it on?
cant imagine? well then, say hello to my sis.
cyn and i were discussing (no, snickering) at fat ladies at the arcade, playing the sweet catcher machine that wins you soft toys. they spend hundreds on the game, changing dollar coins by the fifties. and all they get are soft toys (though nice ones). and then we realised, bored people like my sis are the guilty ones who indulge in such pleasures. (at least she isnt fat from the sweets. lol)
so anyway, there we were at the night market and there's this booth whereby you get to use a rifle with rubber pellets to shoot at tiny wooden ducks to win prizes. we tried it out and heres what happened: sis shot the duck down, but it landed in such a way that it didnt count. i shot the starwars-watch toy next to the ducks instead of the ducks. twice. cyn won a spongebob squarebank (coin bank lah), and a patrick soft toy.
then there was the throw-balls-at-empty-cans-and-hit-them-off-the-shelf game. wont say much cause it didnt go too well. so was the dart game. at least we got an elmo out of it. lastly, we blew $90 at the auction corner, bringing home a 'jade fish statue'. whoopee.
today, we're going to the arcade to blow big bucks on the sweet catcher machine. abso-fucking-lutely fantastic.
