welcome back. in this episode, our heroine of the day, Ms. Rar Jay
Cee hangs around in Tampines Mall after school
*****
girl: (talking to herself : finally! after a month of mugging for
my exams, my life has come to its zenith! freedom! away from
muggerism. oh, so this is the famous Tampines mall? It's in the far
east! Oh god, from Buona Vista to here, such a long way from the
west to the east. oh ye, there aren't any places to hang out around
RJC other than that stupid holland village.)
girl: (talking to herself: wow, the famous Tampines mall! So many
people here! Cool, i'll hang around and see what i can buy. but for
starters, i will want to look cool. look at all those kids around
me - a cigarette in their fingers, shirts not tucked in, blonde
hair, talking loudly, squatting by the roadside... typical low
class singaporeans, but that's cool!)
[our heroine pull out her Raffles shirt, take out her Raffles
badge, pull up her green pleated Raffles skirt and started walking
into the mall]
****
inside in mall, 3 girls saw our dear heroine and started following
her. the leader of the trio is called Ah Lian, a notorious gangster
from Bedok East Secondary School. Her sidekick: Ah Hui, 2 years
older than her from ITE(Simei) and Ah Mei from Simei Woods
Secondary School.
****
ah lian: look at that siao char boh! walking around like that.. we
go ask her for prodection money
ah hui: on ah!
ah mei: settle!
[ ah hui walked up to a very baffled Ms. Rar Jay Cee, apparently
confused by the horde of shoppers and the sudden appearence of
somebody she didn't recognise, or cliche-ly, do no want to
recognise ]
ah hui: leah chiong deh loh eh? (where do you hang around)
rjcgirl: huh? sorry i only learnt french, didn't get to study
german.
ah mei: kaopeh lah! you from where? tanjong katong secondary issit
(note that tkss and rjc's uniform are almost the same, except for
the pleats.)
rjcgirl: please do not associate me with those rejects of our
meritocratic society. i'm from rjc, RAFFLES junior college
ah lian: wah lao. zai man.
ah lian: (whispers) don't play play with his char boh. stylo one.
why not we corrupt her and bring her to our side?
ah mei and ah hui: yaya
ah lian: why after school no go home? come tampeenee for
what?
rjcgirl: pardon?
ah lian: sorry, zai lai yi chi (try again). Come tamp-pee-nis for
what?
rjcgirl: oh, school has ended, hanging around.
ah lian: me ah lian, my friends there 1 is ah mei 1 is ah
hui.
rjcgirl: hi there pals.
ah lian: have you been here before?
rjcgirl: not really.
ah lian: come i bring you around.
******
so the 4 walked around the mall, behaving like siao gee na,
screaming & caterwauling. then they arrived at the games
arcade
******
ah lian: quick change token!
rjcgirl: ok
******
they came to the counter
******
cashier: hi, how much do you want to change?
rjcgirl: erm... erm..
ah lian: $50
rjcgirl: my mum's going to kill me for that...
ah lian: we your friends right. later i got something to treat you
one. don't worry. quick, come on.
******
the girls got their $50 worth of tokens and ah lian took our
heroine to the PARA PARA machine
******
ah mei: come let's dance
ah lian: you know how to dance para para?
rjcgirl: oohhh.. such a silly name... oossh.. i really don't want
to try it, it's rather low class. i only know tango, waltz and
rjc's orientation dance.
ah mei: lai lah!
******
and so they danced.
******
rjcgirl: it's 9:30pm now, it's getting late. i think i better go
home
ah lian: aiyah don't go back lah..
rjcgirl: no i have to observe my home rules. this is my number,
