The long and short about The French Affair



This is sian. Instead of spending my today and my tomorrow slacking in the office, I’ll be helping my Boss’ ang mo friend in an exhibition. I foresee a lot of problems because I know zilch about the products he is exhibiting. It also doesn’t help that he’s French, doesn’t speak English very well, and the only French word I know is Delifrance. Heh.

Anyway that also means there won’t be any updates this afternoon. I think. To keep you entertained, here’s a reproduction of the poem I wrote for my crush in secondary school:


The Yearning Bird

“Bird fly high, in the sky.
A girl like you, hard to find.
You are short, so am I.
But I’m sure our babies, will turn out fine.”

-Sibeh Sian
Spring, 1993



I think it’s quite good. Tell me if you want more.

With Love,
Sibeh Sian

    Adrenaline is right. 男人不坏,女人不爱。 You say likett sounds like you wanna start a family with her. Too much for a 13/14 year old la.

    What about Summer, 1993?

    Spongy: I am a very serious guy. *Puts on serious look as I type this*

    Adrenaline: I was just trying to show my sincerity when I mentioned babies! And your poem is dirty and doesn't rhyme. Heh.

    WinterC: No wonder I got rejected. I wasn't even trying to be sarcastic :D!

    Lambchop: As good as it gets ah, as good as it gets.

    Ollie: The Summer of 1993 came with its own sad story and poetic, eh, poem. Maybe next time ;)

    Pari: Indeed, I took pains in making sure it rhymed! I thought of trying to make it as a poet, but backed off because I might eventually starve in Singapore.

    Cake: CHOY CHOY!

    Hehe, poetry is quite a good tactic. I actually wrote one for a friend to woo another and he got the girl.

    But you should take Adreanline's idea. Girls do seem to like bad boys simply because bad boys are more interesting.

    And don't pretend, pretend, you wrote that poem thinking of making babies and the common method of baby making employed is...

    Must be because siaolian sian likes traditional poems.

    "Roses are red,
    Violets are blue.
    I'll lie in Nerd's bed,
    And wait for a screw."

    I am, of course, assuming that Nerd wishes to get some redecoration room done in his room. Pink curtains perhaps?

    (I should not be evil to Sibeh Sian... )

    Green Ogre: I wrote that poem with a pure mind. Serious!

    Adrenaline: It doesn't. Nay nay ni boo boo :)

    AKK: Heh, he can have Nerd all to himself :)

    Very funny Sibeh. Even if you lack in intellect, you are rich in humour. So keep writing and help destress your fellow countrymen.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. Yes, the French are ethnocentric. That is why old aunty purposely took the trouble to have a minor in French at the university.

    All the best... keep lively... don't be sian. If someone like you claims to be sian, we will all be dead and will soon join the Dead Poet's Society lah. If you look at my archives, you will realise old aunty is not very antique but modern and funny lah. Enjoy!
