Conversations with colleagues : Raspberry tart and vermicelli

Following from yesterday's lesson on Cockney Rhyming Slang...

A group of us drove to a nearby jaunt for Vietnamese lunch.
In the car on the way back to work, I decided to practice my new found rhyming skills.

Me : Let's hope no one does a raspberry tart!

After some laughter as the two at the front seat were Aussies and obviously knew what I meant, Colleague K asked what I had for lunch. She is not very well versed in Asian food, hence, the question. I briefly explained mine was stir fried flat rice noodles (in Malaysia, we call it hor fun) and Mr. C had egg noodles in soup.

Had to think for awhile how to explain that egg rice noodles is the Asian version of angel hair... similar to vermicelli.

To which Colleague FV said, "Do you know what vermicelli means translating from Italian?"

I thought real hard for awhile and took a wild guess "WORMS" !!

Colleague FV : You are right!

Conversation #7 at Dandenong Market

 

 

 

On a hot Saturday at Dandenong Market, we were so thirsty we just had to have a drink.

Mr. C : What do you want to drink?

Me : Can I have the Immune Booster without the apple and lemon?

Mr. C : @_@"

In the car on the way home from Chadstone, Mr. C exclaimed about the clouds in the sky.

Mr. C : Look at the clouds. Doesn't it remind you of the ones in the Simpsons?

*he then proceed to sing 'The Simpsons'*

Me :  >__<"

Ok. It was funny when he said it there and then. My apologies for sucking at recounting an event or a joke. Oh well, practice makes perfect. I'll keep telling till I get it right one day! :)

Hopefully you'll bear with me till then. Lols.

Funny Conversations #2 and #3

Funny Conversation #2

Regarding conversations with the ladies at the office. As it is summer, the topic inevitably touched on bathers and bikinis. The ladies were lamenting how hard it is to get one piece bathers and most that are on sale on rack are usually bikinis, with some having support wires and what not.

SG : Why do they bother putting all this support wire? It's not as if I need it.

Turning towards her direction, I cheekily said as I gestured towards my bosom inciting laughter.

Me : There are people like me who need it.

Funny conversation #3

Recounting my stories with the ladies from office. Started with the above story to this and that and finally, how they said I am fine and have no need to lose weight.

Me : Why does everybody says I don't need to lose weight wan? I mean, I am not fat, fat but neither am I slim thin.

Mr. C : Don't believe them. They lie.

He then gave me a cheeky grin and ran for cover as what he said took it's time sinking into my brains.

Hmmm.. somehow typing this out takes the funniness out of the conversation. I think I am hopeless at writing... descriptive writing that is. There goes my dream to write a best selling novel!
