The Importance of Being Ernest.

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY ERNEST! aka Mr. Wang
Today after school we had no service (yay SAVH!) so a bunch of us went to pizza hut for Ernest's birthday (of course RACHEL was there! OOOOoooh! hahah kidding :) ). I went early with juns, sarah, hilda and sid cos juns' driver came. We wanted to get Ben & Jerry's but the queue took up the entire level so we were thinking "NO waay". I can't believe ernest wanted us to queue for him first. We didn't in the end, obviously haha.

Then we met up with jose, sam, ernest, rachel, suraj, andre and niko for lunch at pizza hut (which turned into an early dinner). I think i'd have preferred subway, but pizza hut had more space. Then sarah and juns left for rock climbing. And so we ended up telling each other sick jokes and getting weird stares from the girls at the next table haha. Too bad almost everyone else had service so they couldn't make it.

Math today was fun. Jose showed us this website called talkingcock.com. Here's the definition of an ah beng :)

AH BENG
An unsophisticated Chinese boy, usually Hokkien. Stereotypically, he speaks gutter hokkien and likes neon-coloured clothes, spiky, moussed hair and accessories such as handphones or pagers, all of which are conspicuously displayed. He also likes to squat, even when a seat is available.
"Wah lao eh, why you so chao ah beng one?" (Goodness, why are you such an ah beng?)

sounds like ernest to me! hahah just kidding.

AH LIAN

A pet-name which literally means, "lotus flower". The female equivalent of an Ah Beng - an unsophisticated Chinese girl. Stereotypically dresses in neon colours, wears a huge ribbon perched on the top of her head, and carries a tiny basket.
