title : A date with Rambutan
It has been long, hasn't it? Well don't blame me! To write a good post requires thinking and the working of this marvelous mind and that, people, needs time. Not like someone who blog about her friend twitting. WHO CARES a HECK about her FRIENDS twitting as long as it's not us, right? Once you get that in mind, it's time for the DOG, my randomize machine ( I'm tired of explaining... T^T ) to talk.

So okay, he doesn't talk. But he can spits out words. And the word he spits out is.......Nononono, it's not Rambutan but ANG MO. Get this in your head. ANG MO. Which means?

ANG MO, sling, a person who has white albino skin paired up with the widest choice of eye color and golden body hair which includes eyelashes and hair of all colours. Yes, that includes green but thats going off the track for I am talking about imported veggies. Hey there, MATE!

Don't understand? No worries, I do have it in layman terms for slow processing ( can you guess that I'm being polite? ) minds like you guys, it means westerners. Example, people who talk like they created english and cannot understand singlish and most propably stays outside Asia.

Get it now? Now we ponder, why does singaporeans call westerners ANG MO? Are we crazily insanely jealous of them? ( Don't bother hiding, I know you fake an ANG MO's accent before. )

After searching after searching, reserching after reserching, asking aunties and uncles and brainstorming after brainstorming, I finally got an answer to the mysterious word : ANG MO.
It has seems like the word ANG MO refers to red hair ( don go there, this is a FAMILY site ) as well as RAMBUTAN. Arh! Now you know how the title comes about. Why red hair, you wonder. Bacause ( yes, it's on purpose ), in the olden days, which is not that old when you think about it since s'pore is like so young but yes you are correct when you are thinking about the time before world war 2, when the asians saw the westerners for the first time, they are shocked by how white they look. And maybe, they had such bad color sense, either that or they are color-blind, they mistaken gold hair for red hair and call them ANG MO. Or just maybe the ANG MO they saw is a redhead.

And that is how ANG MO came about. Ta-DAH! I am a professional right? Don't worry, I know. But I am thinking, ANG MO is seriously crude sounding once you think about it. Would you like it if people call you........YELLOW MO? No right? Thats why Pumkin here is dis-encouraging the word ANG MO.

Don't know what to call westerners from now on? Don worry, I have a solution. Call them Rambutan will do.
