HERE'S THE TRANSLATION if you really catch no ball.

Last time there is this girl, called Singalella. (Cinderella)

She got two sisters, but the step-mother and the sisters all damn abusive, so she is in a pitiful state.

Singallela had her own maid before she was with her stepmother, but now, she is one herself.

Everyday must cook, clean the house, every shit also must clear. (LOL, not really know how to translate this sentence.)

If her sister told her to catch cockroach, she catch.

Everyday do until headache.

CPF also don't have.

But then, her neighbour, an ah pek, had a son called Ah Ming had a party.

So he said, 'Everyone in the house should come to the party.'

Singalella was very happy because she had never went to a party before, but to her dismay, her stepmother said,'You cannot go, because you are not as beautiful as your sisters.'

Singalella had to help the sisters and stepmother dress up.

She cried everyday, and she couldn't sleep, eat and shit.

So that night she could only wave byebye and go back to the kitchen and cook Maggi mee.

Her neighbour came over and asked, 'Hey, why didn't you go for the party?'

Singalella replied,'I wanted, but my stepmother said I couldn't, so no choice.'

Unexpectedly, her neighbour said,'Go for the party, I'll give you the money.'

So Singalella brushed her teeth and bathed, dressed-up and looked very different after that.

She ran quickly across the road, when she reached where the party was held it was 11pm.

At the party, Ah Ming was feeling sian-ed because all the girls were fugly.

There was even one ah pek dancing on the dance floor.

Just as Ah Ming told himself, 'Aiyah, bad situation', Singalella came in.

Ah Meng broke into cold sweat.

'Wow, I'm so lucky, this girl looks not bad.'

Ah Ming told Singalella,'Hey beautiful, let's be friends!'

Singalella said okay but Ah Ming was touching here and there like and octopus.

Just then it was 12 midnight, and there's one ah pek died on the dance floor.

He became a ghost and told Singalella all the 4D numbers.

So after that Singalella went to bet on the numbers, and struck 1st prize, 1 million dollars.

She paid back the kaypoh neighbour and used the rest of the money to set up a business.

What kind of business, how would I know.

WOW. This must be a very long post, huh. LOL! But then nobody reads it, LOL. Haha. School's re-opening tomorrow, HOLIDAYS OVER!! I don't know whether to be happy over it or to feel bad about it. Holy crap.
