First week at work, and I'm rather bemused by the repressed memories I had with my previous company that I used to work with.. why? Cause I find the people here to be more "real" & interesting.. (Nuffies will always have my heart though, its hard to explain). For starters, almost half the team smoke and the other half indulge themselves in the delusively believed paradise propagated by psychedelic substances. You didn't hear this from me.
Yarzar is Burmese, and if you don't already know.. I made a lot of Burmese friends back in the hay day, and I must hand it to them for funniest accent in human history (the Indian accent will always be the second to none, though.. respect to my brother who is half Indian, hehe at least you don't have a funny accent Frank) .. but Yarzar, on the other hand, sounds.. African American..
LOOK! I don't know where the F he got his accent from! But one things for sure.. he has never lived in the States and he doesn't even watch MTV to begin with, which led me to a whole new level of brain confusion, a cut above the last. And when I asked him, how did he come around with such an accent.. he replied this..
"friends man.."
hmm, We live in Malaysia you know.. and I'm pretty sure we speak Manglish, dude.
Anyways.. I had a couple or more unsettling conversation with him, and one of it goes
something like this..
Yarzar: So where do you live?
me: Oh, Pantai Hillpark, I live alone.
Yarzar: Damn, I heard a woman jumped off the building or some'in, right?
me: Gee man thanks for the insight.
Now I'm gonna tell you about Eric, he sits next to me.. well at least for now until my supposed boss comes in to work next week..
Wait, actually, I don't have to tell you much about Eric, you go figure this one out.
Eric: Guess how old am I?
me: 25?
Eric: Really? Really? I'm 24!
me: Wow you're so young!
Eric: Yeah, I have baby face right?
me: Oh my gawd, you're so full of yourself..
proceeded with his all in seriousness expression
Eric: No no, really, I have baby face one, I look younger than you.
me in my head:
cibai this guy so full of himself.Eric lights a cigarette, and adjourned his oral fixation with another cancer stick just a couple of minutes after his last one..me: My gawd, you're such a chain smoker.
Eric: Eh! How come you know I'm a chain smoker one?
me: Cause I saw you quickly litting up another stick after your last one?
me in my head:
hmmm.. duh?two words: mental abuse
