Short excerpts of life... (10)

Excerpt 28

One day, my colleagues and myself were at the pantry eating lunch. We started to share travelling experiences.

Auntie A: You know right, we have to go nude in the hot springs at Taiwan.
Auntie B: Yes yes, Japan also. However, the hot springs at Japan hand out small pieces of towel (size of a face towel) to customers.
Auntie A: Hmm... the towel so small. I can imagine where the men can cover. But where can the women cover using that size of a towel.
Auntie C: The face, of course.

All of us burst out laughing.

Excerpt 29

My Company has offices at 2 locations: Changi and Suntec.

One day, the Financial Controller (previously is the Senior Finance Manager) came out of his office and asked me if I wanted to go Suntec office with him.

I don't like to go to the Suntec office because of the hassle it entails.

Me: Go Suntec? To do what? Don't want lar.
FC: Of course go there do work lar.

Then the aunties started laughing.

Excerpt 30

Work has ended and I jumped up from my seat.

Me: I'm going to the Borders Fair.

During lunchtime, nearly the entire Finance team went to Expo but there was a loooooooong queue at the Borders Fair.

Auntie A: Wei! You haven't finished this allocation thing that we are working on!
Me: I was very emo we didn't get the chance to buy books!
Auntie B: You must be kidding!
Me: No, I'm being serious.
Auntie A: Wah... what a bookworm.

And so off I went and spent the rest of the night browsing and queuing for books.
