Overheard...

Earlier during breakfast at my usual kopi-tiam hangout, there was a big group of aunties (really aunties) of eight to ten of them sitting at the next table.

While munching through my glutonous rice meal, I overheard this part of the conversation between two of them:

(Note: dialouge were in Hokkien and my Hokkien is so-so, forgive me if there are any mis-spelled words)

A : Jin lead buay sai bai (Today cannot pray)
B: An chua leh? (Why?)
A: Jin lead meng buay kui (Today the door not opened. [REF: Door refer to the Hell Gates])
Li bai buo yong, yi lang sew bo tio (You pray also no use, they cannot receive)

Me: .... (over my head appeared many ? of various sizes and colours, got such thing meh???)

Not going to tread into the religion minefield here... but seriously you CANT be serious to believe what A said right?! I mean, how would you know they receive or not?! They do not have such thing as email read reply, you know!

anyway, up since 3am this morning, got most of my paperwork done and away. Also finished my morning run-breakfast-morning papers-shower, I think a little siesta is called for. My mattress and pillow sure looked inviting. Didnt have a proper zzz though I KO at 9pm yesterday, got two consecutive dreams that woke me up at 12am and the other finally got me out of bed at 3am.

I forgot to mention, will be back to work and so have been switching my body clock to the usual midnight routine schedule, hence the erratic sleeping hours. *Yawnz*
