Ok boys and girls....hands up those who know what candelabra means? Anyone? Hah, I certainly didn't know its meaning myself when I first heard it last week while talking to my cousin Hao. To enlighten those who still cannot guess its meaning (ok ok, maybe its only I who's the ignorant one =P), its actually a branched candlestick which can hold more than one candle at any time.

Anyway, how I came to know of the word was like this,

Hao: "Eh you know what, actually its all thanks to your pictionary game, that I got to know what candelabra means"

Me: "Wah, got so 伟大 meh?"

Hao: "Yar la. The other I played the game with my mates, one of them kena this word during his turn. So of course, he did not know the meaning of the word (or that it even exists). But...he didn't give up lah. Just like any other logically thinking person, he broke the word up into smaller words, and proceeded to draw each small word out lah."

Me: "So what he did he draw?"

Hao: (my fav part coming) "He drew one CANDLE, one BRA, and a arrow to show the CANDLE PULLING （拉）the BRA - CANDLE 拉 BRA"

Me: (after nearly dying from laughter) "Did you all managed to guess it at the end?"

Hao: "Surprisingly yes. But we still didn't know what it meant though. However, all of us were very motivated to find out the meaning, so checked the dictionary lor. Now I'm sure none of us would ever forget the word's meaning liao"


Well, neither would I. And perhaps you too? =)
