of my 13 days of workin
at my mum's office...

out of the 5 chinese i serve,
i inevitably come across 2 or 3
who inexplicably feel that if i do not
speak cantonese, i must be malay.

out of the 5 canto-speaking
customers i serve,
i inevitably come across 2
whom i really quite dislike.

and out of every 5 canto-speaking
customers i serve,
i inevitably come across
1 who is incorrigibly rude and impatient.

am i so very malay-looking?
or is it just their bizarre, deep-seated belief
that all chinese must be canto-speaking,
that leads them to think so?

am i so very biased?
or are the great majority of them uncultured phillistines?

one girl yday whispered to her bf
if i were a malay
bcos i blinked blankly at their enquiries.

one woman today rattled away
in malay to me after
i gave her this apologetic raised-eyebrow look.

heh...
lesson one of working life:
learn canto.

9th of December 2005!!!
this coming Friday,
5pm onwards

there's gonna be a open
BBQ party at my house,
and everybody's invited :)

make sure you come
in a funny outfit
(santa hats, ultraman masks,
reindeer headbands,
anything goes!)
because a mystery gift
will be awarded to the wackiest get-up.

there will be a PS2 tournament,
(combat + racing games)
and the winner gets a prize oso.

bring RM15 to enjoy the food,
cos otherwise we the (currently) poor and jobless
organisers will be completely pokai (read: BROKE!).

expect lotsa fun and fellowship,
tons of laughs and hiliarities,
an abundance of delicious food,
and a long lasting memory
of all the nice people you've met :D

call Krystle at 016-6249242
or Ee Ling at 016-2513410
to let us know you're coming!
(so we'll know how much food to buy)
