Engrish on the Night Market blue shirt / Colonial Dressing

Just before I left the townhouse, I got an email that purported to be from my old friend Ollie Rocha. I clicked on it, and was greeted with spam about foreclosures... the email address it was sent to didn't resemble mine in ANY WAY, and the sender's email address certainly didn't match his, either! Then again, I haven't talked to Ollie in a year or more since he told me via email not to send him any email about church functions (My birthday is a church function? What?!) anymore. Fair enough, since he now attends another church with his wife Angel... but that doesn't explain what happened there. o_O

But I've received a bunch of replies about my birthday celebration already, which is cool. If I didn't email it to certain people, it's probably because I don't have their email address, so I'll just have to ask them in person on the weekend! Karen Choo says she'll be there, and Jasmine says she can't because she has class at the Coquitlam campus (plus other things, I'm quite sure). Vanessa has to work that night, but sends wishes for an awesome birthday and dinner. Dylan says he'd love to come out and celebrate, so I guess that means he's in. Cindy's in practicum right now, so things are really busy for her with teaching... but of course she still hopes that I have an awesome birthday celebration! (she always does since she's such a sweetie!)

Earlier tonight, my mom saw me checking my email. There was some ad on the page for a V-Phone from Vonage, which was dangling right between some cleavage. Mom saw this and told me not to get into that... er, it's just an ad and not porn / prostitution? (haha)

Here's the Engrish from that Night Market shirt! It also says GIFT [?] RACER and BOYS on it, with a picture of a dude in a numbered shirt as well... and some Mossimo-like graffiti logo which I can't read! *sigh*

Blue nuerments go made powreufl
Changing go things. Go chincle.
What your that about applitcaton.

No, my siblings and I have no idea what it's trying to say! *laugh*
