=pastel coloured conversations=

here's a few interesting conversations i had with others lately.

Interesting Conversation No.1
i had this convesation with the Ammah at work.
She's this 50 something Chinese lady who prepares food for the kids.

Ammah: wah, ini hari nasib tada hujan
Ammah: semalam ah manyak punya hujan o
Me: eh, tadi pagi hujan..
Ammah: ya, tapi hujan satu satu.

haha..that made me let out a soundless laugh. hujan satu satu..haha..cute. thank God she didnt see me laughing as i was standing behind her when she made that comment.

Interesting Conversation No.2
this happened in class. the kids were supposed to be doing their homework. i was sitting in front, doing my own work. oh, all my students are chinese btw.

Drama King: bla bla bla..aiyah, Malays are so stupid ah.
the rest: yeah yeah yeah
Cute Fang Boy: yeah, they always start a fight one.
the rest: yeah yeah yeah
Cute Fang Boy: especially those their skin black chocolate one. they always pick a fight ah they.
the rest: yeah yeah yeah
Drama King: ah, they stupid ah they.

i looked up.

Ah Girl: orhor. teacher's a Malay!
Drama King: is it?? really? really Miss Basithah you're Malay??? I'm so sorry Miss Basithah i didn't mean to offend you! I'm sorry! i thought you're Chinese!! i'm sorry!!

Cute Fang Boy: you Malay? oh, i thought you're Indian or Arab.

The Tag-Along Boy: you Malay? Oh, i thought you Muslim.

sometimes i think they live a very sheltered life. the next day another kid said she thought i'm chinese. mane ade????? i dont even slightly look like one. then she kept asking me how come my dad's a malay and my mom's an indian. haih. i wanted to say to her: "how come you're a chinese? cos your mom and dad are chinese right?" Thank God i didnt..cos the kid's fatherless and the mom, from what i heard, isnt really there for the kid. so..it was kinda taboo to bring up the topic on daddy.

Interesting Conversation no.3
i went to Dara's class to talk to her about her uni application. we talked in front of this p.3 boy whom i think she and i like. haha..smart kid...so i was kinda surprised when he interrupted me

kid: what is application?
me: oh, we're talking about application for university.
kid: what's a university?
me: *suprised that he didnt know**evil grin* it's a place that's made of chocolate and they make chocs there...hahahah..
kid: *blank*
me: it's a place where you study to get a degree..
kid: what's a degree?
me: *looked at Dara for help*
kid: *innocently* is it like a spectacle degree?
me: *burst out laughing*
kid: ooh or is it like the degree of the sun? like degrees celcius?
me: *still laughing*

i explained to him eventually..and he got it in the end. haha..he's so cute. but can be annoying too sometimes. kids.

it's been crazy yet fun at work lately..im gonna miss the p.5 kids once my cousin gets back from maternity leave and take her class back...hmm.. :(

but relieved at the same time! haha.
