supermarket sweep

So if you notice this post has all the characteristics of proper writing (i.e. punctuation, usage of upper and lower case, grammar) its because I’m using word to write today. For some reason its taking blogger.com ages to load so I figured I’ll kill time by writing here and pasting there.

Went to Tesco the other day with two of my favourite people. We played imaginary supermarket sweep and just so you know, go for the birds nest and the Brand’s essence of chicken if you’re ever in that situation. Turkeys and diapers are cheap stuff compared to birds nest.

So while we were waiting in line to pay up for our purchase, I casually mentioned that condoms would also be a good item to purchase on supermarket sweep just as fillers cause they’re always next to the counter and they come in small packages which makes them easy to grab. So you just throw a couple of boxes in to maximize on time and space. Sometimes I can take an imaginary game slightly too far and start thinking of strategies. So then begins a hilarious conversation.

Me: So which one do you use?
Guy: Durex lah! Do you need some?
Me: Which variety? If it’s the “close fit” then I don’t like.
Guy: The cheapest one lah!
Me: hahahahahahahahahaha…..CHEAPSKATE!

Is that what guys do? They scour the condom section in search of the cheapest condoms? Then again, who needs glow in the dark or strawberry flavoured condoms? Actually, who needs condoms anyway? Just strap on some of that clear wrap thingey that you use to cover food and you're good to go. Anyway, price aside at least he's wearing something which is more than I can say for some people i know.

Moving on, my mother stole my alcohol. When I noticed that 2 of my bottles were missing from the fridge, I immediately assumed that the culprits were my brothers. So when they came down I accused them of having NO MANNERS. They denied ever taking anything from my portion of the fridge. Then I started to wonder, if it wasn’t either of them it could only be one other person and that would be my MOTHER. So the next day I asked her whether she took my bottles and she said YES! That’s so out of character. Apparently she was bored at home so she just took 2 of my Bacardi bottles out of the fridge and drank it alone while watching OPRAH. Two days before that she scolded my brother for taking my VITAGEN without my permission. Now she takes my Bacardi without my permission. Its all very strange and somewhat comical.
