I went for a beer and tapas fest with The Man last night. He arrived later than me and when he saw me, he asked whether I wore a maxi to work today. I swear that sentence makes absolutely no sense to me.
Frou: What??
The Man: I said, did you wear that maxi to work today?
Frou: Whaaat??
The Man: Did you wear this *points to my clothes* to work today?
Frou: This outfit? What did you call it?
The Man: A maxi.
Frou: What does that mean?
Man: It means a tube full length dress. What do YOU call it?
Frou: Err.. I’ve been calling it a potato sack…
On working with a boss from the 1950s…
I suspect my New Boss hopped on a time travel space shutter and arrived here from 1952. She uses really archaic slangs that gets me rolling on the floor. For example, whenever she needs to fix her hair, she says she has to go to a ‘beauty parlor’. Whenever she is expressing shock, she goes ‘By golly gee!’
She knows her outdated language really gets to me so sometimes she puts irrelevant double dosage on me just to rile me up like:
Frou: I found it! I found the case-laws!
Boss: Beauty Parlor Golly Gee! Good Job!
Today, I taught her a new phrase when I saw her coming out of a meeting looking disheveled.
Frou: Hey! Take a chill pill and relax.
Boss: Whoa. I never heard that before! I like it. Can I adopt it?
Frou: Sure. *cheeky thought* But you need to rap it.
Boss: Are you serious?
Frou: Yeap. Otherwise, you’re not cool on the streets.
Boss: So do I go like this ‘Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers, take a chill pill, and relax?”
Frou: *rolls out of the room*
On Frou's useless Ter-Kah
I have always maintain that my Malaysian legs are not meant for walking. I can go running, swimming and climb rocks and mountains, but I just cannot walk. That is why I actually lied, begged and cheated HDB to (finally) grant me a parking lot downstairs from my block. (It was too despicable how I did it so I can't blog about it.) This Dilbert comic I found in my inbox a few days ago aptly describes my situation:
Lastly, on monogamous creatures…
So I read in the papers last weekend that monogamy is so rare in the animal kingdom that only 3-5% of mammals are known to form life long bonds. Examples are moles, beavers and otters.
I actually found it very surprisingly that otters are monogamous. Don't you too? I mean come on, they "play" around with one another so much…..
Have a good weekend, folks!
