zenn bites...

mark cheered my dreary day up.

so sweet he came to have lunch with me. i had been all alone in the office, and veryvery bored.

it has been awhile since we got to spend some time together, what with him being in the US and all busy. we went to this soup kitchen near raffles place, and had yummy yummy chunky mushroom and chunky chicken soup. just the thing for a rainy day.

had quite a few laughs and time passed quickly, as it always does when i'm having fun and talking alot of nonsense (and having nonsense told to me).

he taught me the secret of choep-ing seat using an umbrella, we updated each other on life and family and friends, and spoke about how we've aged (nono we're still young! *in denial*), about work and how clever people get paid for doing nothing, about getting fit and set for life, and about pongpongs and pompoms.

yes gracie, i told mark about your clever student. the conversation went like this:

grace was teaching her students about edible and inedible fruits, and one clever pupil mentioned a pongpong, which is an inedible fruit. so grace talked about the pongpong, until this one boy raised up his hand.

grace: yes?
boy: miss feng, i know why pongpongs cannot be eaten.
grace: why?
boy: because pongpongs are use for cheerleading.

*cue mark's momentary silence, then him dissolving into laughter that lasted 2 full minutes*

damn cute right!
i don't know how i will answer that
oh grace laughed then went on to teach spelling p-o-n-g-p-o-n-g and p-o-m-p-o-m
oh! is that how you spell it?
*stares* yes mark. p-o-m-p-o-m!
i duno! my teacher never teach me
... ... ...

so you see, gracie, you did a good thing. now at least one class in red swastika wouldn't have to go all the way to uni without knowing how to spell pompom.


mark and i also decided that "LATE" is the new "FUCK". we established that "LATE" is a bad word, and can be used in many ways, just like "FUCK":

LATE! (said very loudly and accompanied with a stamp of the foot - when very angry)
oh late... (mumbled, said under one's breath - when resigned)
l a t e (stating a fact)
wah laaatteee (drawn-out - when you cannot believe something has happened)


i learn something new everyday.
