Lili von Schtupp, where you having lunch at the Botanics today? :-)

[Ms Cheng]

I was having a late lunch at the basement food court when I spotted a Chinese man, white woman in red, toddler in a high chair and a lady helping feed the little guy. Was that you LVS? Didn't want to go up and sound like a loonie bin asking the lady if that was you

[Ms Cheng]

oops typo in title, I went "were" not "where"

[Mr Wong]

White woman / Asian guy couples aren't as common as the other way around BUT it's not like if you see one you should immediately assume it is our illustrious Lili!  I know of three such couples myself.  There must be hundreds in SG.

[Ms Cheng]

I know 3 of such combis myself and have seen plenty more, but it was just that the lady helping out looked v different from the typical Filipina/ Indon maid and I remember LVS said she had someone helping out who was married to a Singaporean or something.

[Lili Von Shtupp]

Well, if that lady in red was absolutely brilliant and classy, than it most certainly WAS me!!! 


Hahaha! But really, no. It was my doppleganger, who I send out in the world to enjoy life while I slog away at projects in my home office, checking in with the expat forum to ease my boredom and feed the procrastination monster. It's either read the expat forum or bang my head against the desk. Sometimes I do both.

[Aliya]

Ha ha, that's why I come on here too, saves getting all those bruises.

[Lili Von Shtupp]

Yes, Aliya, sister in crime! I just noticed I've graduated to Full Member with over a hundred posts. If I man be so bold as to toot my own horn, DAMN, I am an excellent slacker! One more star, one less bruise. Hahahaha!

[Ms Cheng]

then it's just as well I *didn't* go up and ask!!   

[Lili Von Shtupp]

Her husband might wonder if she's living a double life!

But you got me thinking what would happen if somebody ever came up to me and asked if I was Lili Von Shtupp? I'd probably fall over laughing!!! ...and then MY husband might wonder if I'm living a double life. 

[BoardManager]

We are considering a new income stream. For QUALITY posters (no, we do not want Quantity per se!) who have contributed 15,000 posts, we will issue them with a nice Expat Singapore Car Plate and/or a unique collectors' badge or name tag. This will cost, of course; at least S$60.00 a piece. This way our Quality Members will be easily identifiable and have an immediate bonding with lesser members. While we have a few more dollars in our back pockets.

[Lili Von Shtupp]

Oh BoardManager, nametags for "quality" posters. You pimpin' me?!

Anyway, this is Singapore, Dah-ling!! Where's my goodie bag and lucky draw?

 

[when in singa...]

you have to queue for it 

[BoardManager]

Well, LVS, you are *ONLY* 117 posts. You need another 14,883 QUALITY posts to qualify for the good stuff. And as the previous poster says, you will have to Q for it.

[Aliya]

Dang its taken me 6 years to get to 900 posts, will be in a wheelchair before I get to 15k!

[Lili Von Shtupp]

Aliya, while we're on the topic, have you noticed that you've got 908 posts while our Dear BoardManager has a mere 794? What's up with that?
