i walked into the office pantry this morning and said hi to a female colleague. she didn't respond and i simply went back to my workspace. within minutes, she dropped by my workspace and said:
"ahhhhhh, sorry hor... just now you said hi to me and i didn't realise it was you. from your back, you looked so young, and then when you turn around... aiyeeerrrr.... pai seh, pai seh..."
* "pai seh" is hokkien (a southern china dialect) equivalent of "i felt embarrassed by it"
how's that for for being frank and truthful? haha... no "ouch" moments for me though. that's how comfortable my colleagues are with me. they like to gather around me and simply chit chat and crack jokes. and
lol!
