A,B and E lunch story..

This happened the other day during lunch. As again, it revolves ard Guys A and B with the addition of Guy E.

Guy A and E knew what they wanted for lunch and they set off to join the queue. Guy B comes along and stands silently behind A & E while fiddling with his phone..

...2 mins ltr...
B to A: Eh, what are u guys queuing up for?
(Guy A feeling a little bit irritated)
A points at the signboard with the images of the food.
B finally realises what he was queuing for liao....

...Another 2 mins ltr...
The noodle auntie was taking orders..

A to Auntie: Give me 3 bowls of noodles. (Auntie acknowledges..)

Auntie to B: What do u want?
B to Auntie: Oh, no. I'm with A and E. Same order one lar..

(Guy A stunned by the comment)

A to B: Eh, B ar.. I din order for u leh. The 3rd bowl is for someone else.
B to A: Not for me? How come u nv order for ME??

(Guy A feeling put off already)

A to B: U nv tell me what u want! How u wan me to order for u??
B to A: I thought u know liao?
A to B: How the hell would i know?

(Guy A is pissed)

B to A: Nvm! (then gives auntie his orders, then turns ard to A) Communication error lar!
A to B: How can there be an error in communication when there was no communication to begin with?

Guy A shakes his head while trying to maintain his composure.

Who said filing was simple??

Before u proceed, take a moment to thk thru this question. Do u file papers above or beneath the respective tabs of the divider found in files?

May I now present to u a short story...

Guy D gave instructions to Guy A and B to do filing. Guy A and B were each given an arch file and divider tabs to file the documents under the respective headings. They set out at different times to complete the task seperately.

Guy A sort the papers by putting them beneath the various categories.
Guy B sort the papers by putting them above the various categories.

...The nxt day...
Gal C needed to find a paper urgently supposedly from Guy B's file. She searched the respective tabs for her paper. She could not find it. Guy D came forth and helped.. But was still unable to find. So Guy A searched thru all the tabs and found it in the tab above.

Below was the exchange when the paper was found;

D: Alamak!! B! How come u file the papers above the dividing tabs???

B: Wrong meh?? Isn't that the way to file them??

D: (faint) Alamak!! Wrong lar!!!

B: Its all ur fault, nvm tell me how to file them!

A: *laughs* (then pauses for a moment) B, who are u refering to? The one who nv teach u how to file the documents...

B: U lar! (refering to A)

A: *Diaoz..* (keeps mums)

Guy A after thoughts;
Who ever thought that filing papers with the dividers needs to be taught?
Wasn't common sense the way to go?

Conclusion:
Who ever said filing was an simple affair??

feng.. passed on...

Its been nearly a week since my sec sch classmate passed on.

His news came as a shock to me.. I was waiting at the bus-stop when a sms came in.. notifying me of his demise.

Although i'm not a close fren of his.. But counting the fact that our roots go back to pri sch.. there will stilll be some form of emotional attachment no matter the distance, both literally and figuratively.

What made it all worse was the fact that he took his own life. Reasons which remain unknown to us. Speculation speculation is what i've been hearing. I hope it ain't really wat was touted as possible reasons. Not offence realli.. If it realli was, i can onli say this with a heavy heart, he was realli foolish. Believing in that it wld realli bring bout' the end of misery. I feel the pain.

Why? Why? Why did he have to do this...?

Humans are weak? or are they not?

Life is fragile...
I'm adopting a new approach...

Hopefully, its a approach that spells.. s-u-c-c-e-s-s

the day music died

Massacre!!

The day music died.
The day the uncle murdered music.

I finally understood what the judges of s'pore idol and project superstar had to endure.

A whole 50 mins of mindless, souless rendition of who knows wat songs....

The uncle seating diagonally across me was singing in "falsetto" thru out the journey. It wasn't realli falsetto but some form of undentified incorrigible mumbling.
