The Joy of cheap trill

Yesterday i mentioned i wanted to share some of my favorite stuff mentioned in 8 days to blow your blues away.

Hope it makes u laugh.

#886, 8 days, pages 42-43, by Florence Fong.

P.s: Not bothered to reference properly la. As long as i acknowledge the person ya, i didn't plagarize ah!!

FF wrote in this week's edition about 50 things that makes us grin as we go through our daily lives. Here goes, to crazy html-ing again.




  1. Smugly telling a cab drover to, "keep the change when it's only 10 cents" (Haha... can't deny there are times when i'm really cheapo to take by the 10 cents too)

  2. When your doctor asks, "Would you like 2 days MC?" (Ed: Ask and you shall receive :) My brother ever got his doc giving him 11 whooping days of MC!!!)

  3. Going for a medical check0up only to discover your new gynaecologist is a total hunk (Desperate housewives alert!)

  4. Receiving a bunch of McDonald's discount coupons in the mail.

  5. Sneakily removing "Reserved" signs from tables at Zouk's Wine Bar.

  6. Getting a 20 cent discount off $1 ice cream because you flirted with the pushcart uncle. (only for DHW's only. DHH (Desperate House Husbands) can work with flirting with a pushcart auntie)

  7. Checking out a cute guy/girl and having him/her check you out at the same time.

  8. Solving the mystery of the secret farter in your office (it's in the darting eyes and abnormally rapid post-fart speech)

  9. Looking drunk when you're stopped by the traffic police at 3am - and of course, you're sober (it only applies if you are on the driver's seat. They won't care if u are the passenger)

  10. Grabbing a fistful of food samples when the supermarket promoter has her back turned to you. (wha lau.... CHEAPO!!)

  11. Walking into a pay-per-use public toilet without paying the 20 cents. (U hold until u reach the Mrt Station, FOC one, that is if u can hold till then)

  12. Slimming mirrors in changing rooms (If u know where to find, please write in my TAG, All my gal frens WANTS to know where it is!!! Getting slim without diets and [name of slimming center] is a real cheap trill )

  13. Watching transvestites at Orchard Towers.

  14. Watching clueless ang moh tourists leering at transvestites at Orchard Towers.

  15. Watching the super para Beng shake his booty at the games arcade (too bad if the para beng has a Wii at home, shaking booty has become a private affair from then on)

  16. Blithely dropping hotel room towels onthe the bathroom floor.

  17. Discovering that a restaurant forgot to charge you for dessert when you're already on your way home. (the more expensive the dessert, the SWEETER it will be)

  18. Throwing 'outside food' wrappers into a bin in a fast food outlet which doesn't allow 'outside food'.

  19. Bumping into an old friend who asks, 'have you lost weight'? (Please please please, if u see me, please ask me that... just gimme a kick out of it :P. Genuine comments on my weight loss definitely welcome! :P)

  20. Beating someone else to the last available seat in a crowded hawker centre.

  21. When the airplane door shuts and you realize you've got an entire row of seats to yourself for a long haul flight.

  22. Ending up alone in the lift with your office crush

  23. Gossiping with a colleague on MSN - especially if she sits just beside you

  24. Using a lame fake name like 'Valentino Chi Chi Tan' when making restaurant reservations (siao one, but... i like!)

  25. Receiving an email from your boss which reads: 'I'll be on leave for two weeks'.

  26. Watching Little Britain clips on YouTube during office hours.

  27. Taking a day to mull over that expensive pair of shoes you're eyeing, and discovering that it's 50% off the next day.

  28. Jabbing at the 'close' door button in a lift just as someone's rushing towards it,. And the door shuts before the person can see your face. (It's mean... but really can get a kick out of it..... i know, because, *gulp, i've tried it, on unknown neighbors..... sorry la)

  29. Two consecutive public holidays on a Friday and Monday (No such thing in Singapore, unless u apply for leave on a Friday before a public holiday that falls on a Sunday)

  30. Stocking up on tissue paper from the back of a cab

  31. Making a monkey face at a brat in the next car when his parents aren't looking - by the time the tattletale's told them, you're innocently looking elsewhere. (Got kick sia! but not gut and/or opportunity to try it out. How do i know how a brat looks like?)
  32. Strolling into the office with a cup of tea and discovering that your colelague just bought a big bag of fresh curry puffs

Ed: I need to emphasize that this is totally extracted from the magazine. It's meant to be solely for entertainment. Word for word is from 8 days. It's not my comments. I just laugh along it.

Anyway, enjoy this 50. I'm sure everyone's guilty of a few!!
