Pajamas

Was rolling on my bed in my aunty pajamas, preparing to sleep when I suddenly remember I promised my colleague (next door) that I will clear his fridge for him as he was called back to Lion City for a period of time. Currently room was being occupied by Thai colleague. Lazy to change clothes, I just called the room. When no one picked up, I assumed she is not back yet, (don't ask why I never thought she was sleeping). I plan to rush in and out under 10 mins, so I grab a shopping bag, didn't even put on slippers and burst out of my room to find colleague standing in front of her room preparing to tag in.



Me : Dunno who more surprise... her or me

Change channel

Not long after Cousin Rain came, she had a web call with the family at home to show them, she is still in one piece - safe and sound. They had a loud and warm reunion. For the occasion, brother Thunder hooked up the TV as monitor so that the old folks, dad and mum can see Rain clearly. It was a tearful and joyous moment.

Aunty, not wise in the way of cyber technology, asked Brother Thunder, ' Later, can change channel or not ar? Don't wanna miss the 8pm drama ler.'

Speak up or not

On the way to Coffee Shop Prince's coffee shop in Hongik University, Line No 2, in the packed train, Cousin Rain and me were day-dreaming lost in our individual Iphones, when suddenly I sit up straight. Look up, down, left right.....pause..... then I told Cousin Rain, I wish I can speak Korean. Naturally she asked why.



I told her, ' Cause I wanna tell the aunty in front that she has been flashing her pink panties at me for the last 5 stations,'

It's one of those aunty underwear, cotton and cover the entire ass up to navel.

Of Potatoes and cleaners

With Cousin Rain staying for a spell, she is in charge of all household activities like cooking and washing. One day while she was rummaging the fridge, she asked me, 'Why is the potato in the fridge?'
.
I told her,'Don't laugh but I don't trust the cleaner, scare she do something to it,'
.
Cousin Rain gave me the beh-tahan-look.

Cousin Rain did her first grocery shopping yesterday. She was quite worried that she bought the wrong thing, so we communicate via Whatasapp all throughout her shopping expedition until she reached home. While putting away the food, suddenly she exclaimed,' Crisis, get back to you later..'. I got shocked, what crisis? Thought of a lot of worst scenarios like injured by knife etc. Some more she no reply me for more than 1/2 hour. Almost wanted to call her, but then she replied me ,' Got problem putting the celery into the fridge, it's too big, might need to break in half'

Me: I thought wat....






Celery will be cooked tonight...

Repeat Thyself

Since I landed in Kimchi Land many people like to ask me this question, ' Korea got a lot of spicy food ka?'. Usually I would tell them Korea food are almost all spicy and therefore the question should be,' Korea got non-spicy food or not?'. At this point most will give me the standard ,'Orh...' but one gave me this,' Then, Korea got a lot of NON spicy food ka?'

Me: *strangle self with mouse*

Mute

Yesterday we went to Seoul Tower. Planned to go there and see sunset but we got lost and end up there at night. Sun has already set but the night scene was Superb! Magnificient! We felt that the pictures we took don't do it justice so we decided to record a 360 degree view. Happily we went around the observatory recording and narratting. After that we decided to check our video and found that, the view was great but the sound was, '... ...(insert flying crow)'.

Then Rain exclaimed,' Aiyak, mute the camera adi...' and she wanted to do the whole thing again.

Me: huk huk.....
