*Yawn.......* very sleepy now... Got dark circles now. All thanks to Jane for waking me up at 3am last night. She called me on my mobile phone (better have it turned off next time ;p) and asked me what I was doing. None other than sleeping and dreaming of coz! Jane later apologised for she has forgotten that we are in different time zone. Jane, you are so 'sotong'! haha....
Sotong is a word our S'porean friends use to mean 'blur' and 'forgetful' whereas the Hongkie refer to those as '大頭蝦' [big headed prawn]. If you get fired, it's called '炒魷魚' [fried squid]. And if you are tragically ugly, you are known as 豬排 [Pork Chop]. I wonder if learners of Chinese language ever got confused with these slangs! With all the food in our conversations, they might've thought that we were discussing about our next meal! haha.. We Chinese sure like our food!
