When "C" Becomes "X"

I had a quite comic conversation with a Chinese-Malaysian officemate in Yahoo Messenger which left me laughing so hard all day.

(Name withheld for security reasons)

Officemate: Charina
Chari: Yes?
Officemate: Can you help me check this sentence for grammar error?
Officemate: Please refer to attach updated baseline document, according to baseline date.
Chari: *tumbling* Ok. Just give me a sex
Officemate: Huh? U serious? For tat very simple request?
Chari: No lah. Wrong typing mah! I mean, just give me a sec. Not sex!

Potek! Kung bakit kasi nagkatabi ang X at C sa keyboard. Hahaha!

Moral of the story:
Read and confirm that you have typed the correct characters before pressing Enter key. Sometimes, with a stroke of bad luck, even a single letter could easily spell disaster such in the case when "c" becomes "x" in my story. Know your spelling.

Just Can't Get Enough

I’m feeling so TERRIBLE. I must’ve gorged down around 20 different types of food today. A case of unbearable hunger? Eehhh! :-O

Below is the list, well only those which I can remember.

• zhong (dumpling) for breakfast (given by Lee Fun)
• fish head curry
• steamed herbal chicken
• buttered prawns
• veggies
• steamed tilapia
• rice!
• banana
• watermelon
• pineapple
• blueberry cheese tarts (small)
• Portuguese egg tarts
• pecan pie (1 small slice)
• Tiramisu cake (it was my boss’ birthday; shared with Charmy hehe)
• Chippy (galing ng Pinas)
• Chocnut (galing din ng Pinas)
• mints
• Coffee, coffee, coffee (kahit bawal sakin)

Oh my Lord! I better start kicking my butt to do some cardio exercises and run a marathon! That is, if I want to have that much needed energy for our adventure trip this coming Saturday.

Stories of our adventure trip with my “wild” friends (Ben, pa-borrow ng adjective hehe) when I get back next week. Stay tuned.
