Choices

Interesting situation I was in the other day. I had to choose between talking to three women, one on msn, one over the phone and one directly in front of me. Now, that would seem like the best thing to ever happen to a guy but as proven, that's not always the case.

In the end I had to choose the oldest and least attractive one. Not because I saw the opportunity to snag a sugar-mama or because I prefer experience overall. But because she's my boss.

If only decisions in life are as easily made.

Filial Peity

Had an exchange with my sis over msn. She's usually based in Shanghai but has been returning back to SG quite abit for work. Without the knowledge of my parents. I get the occasional heads-up that she'll be back. as in this situation.

Me: u still gonna be in SG this sat? we are going out for dinner, lao-pa will be sms-ing K [my bro-in-law].
Sis: ya. where are we going to eat?
Me: dunno yet. still thinking. right now Gordon Grill.
Sis: jialat. what if they start thinking why i'm always in SG?
Me: dunno. jus tell them why u r back lor.
Sis: i guess so.
Me: u can always tell them u miss them. hahahahahahaaa....
Sis: :-O. courting death.......
Me: die filial

Gallow Humour

They were supposed to do some pest control thingy in the office today. Probably some fumigation or something during the lunch hour. Led to a some funny exchanges with and comments from my boss.

R (a colleague): I feel weak.
C (my boss): Then you better get started on that report then.
R: So that's how it is now.
C: Yea. You probably have two weeks left to live.
R: *Stands up to look around the area* I feel dizzy.
C: You know if you are dying you shouldn't be standing up.
Me (to C): You know you shouldn't be giving a dying man such advice.
C (thinks, then turns to R): Good luck.

C: I should get on the phone with A (his boss) and tell her that I'm working on this report while I'm getting fumigated and suffocating. This is considered billable time. Yea, that's what they'll put on my tombstone, "100% utilised till the last hour".
