Silly

I'm sorry, but sometimes I just can't help adding some quirky long-lost silly humor into my daily life!

I was having lunch with my college mates at Asia Cafe today (yeah, boring old AC) and then this young Malay lady representing the Celebrity Fitness company came to our table to talk about a promotion the gym was having. None of us were interested in it. But she just wasn't getting the picture. As she started ranting off in Malay to my Mongolian friend (he's really from Mongolia), he interrupted, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I'm not local."
Promoter: Oh, then where are you from?
"He's from Mongolia," the other guy beside him replied.
Promoter (to the other guy): Ok, how about you?
"Um, I'm actually from Mongolia too." the guy lied.

I nearly choked on my iced Chinese tea. The dude was a pure-bred Malaysian.

So, the promoter turned to me. She started speaking in Malay, then for some reason I just said,
"Uh, sorry... I don't understand Malay... I'm not from around here."

Exasperated, she rounded on our other friends seated at the table.
"You!" she cried, randomly pointing at my friend beside me. "You Malaysian??"

He hadn't been listening, because he'd just got back from ordering his food, so he gave her this blank look and she just gave up on us and left. Hahaha.

Talk about desperate. But I don't blame her... we were giving her a hard time.

I was supposed to watch Indiana Jones with my family today, but since my mom caught a bad cold, our movie has been postponed to Saturday. That's why I'm sitting here blogging away... and I've got alot to study for Calculus tomorrow. (Shyt, I hate that class!) I dread it so much but I don't have a choice because I'm required to take Calculus. What a bummer! It's just not fun at all when you're FORCED to study something you don't like.

Then another weird incident happened just 10 minutes ago on MSN. Some guy added me (I thought he was probably one of my new classmates, so I accepted the add) and this was how our conversation went:

Me: Hi.. you are?
Him: Hi. I'm Pascal, you are?

Pascal? Are you for real? o.O I thought he was pulling my leg.

Me: Cool. I'm Joule.
Him: Nice. From where are you?

Doesn't sound like someone I would know. I was beginning to think that this guy was some creepy old man who adds up girls from Facebook or Friendster or whatever...

Me: Nepal, actually.
Him: Wow! I'm from Amsterdam! How old are you?!?!

What's with the enthusiasm? Maybe he really is into Nepal girls? Lol.

Me: Younger than you.
Him: Haha. Come on, tell me!

I didn't wait. I blocked and deleted him right away. o.O
People like that need a life. A real, decent, productive life.

Amsterdam, eh? Beautiful place though.
