How do you gain wisdom?

When you experience pain.

What happens when you put 2 guys, 2 girls, 2 cars, 2 hours of gender specific workshops, 2 dinner tables worth of supper, and 2 expensive concert tickets into one little carpark after midnight?

Quite a lot actually.

You get…

… an unnaturally long conversation on your feet

… 2 completely bemused gentlemen, pondering on the meaning of the Real Christian Man.

I’m more real than he is =)

… a lot a lot of jokes

… some Jason Mraz

… a lot of “i can’t believe you don’t know JASON MRAZ!!”

… some hand-on-heart “this is what i really thought of you when i first met you” statements

… 4 very bo liao people who decided to commemorate the carpark conversations with a photograph.

With emphasis on “very bo liao”

Did this quiz thing in facebook. Worked really hard to make it seem effortless. Am exceedingly proud of it. Putting it here because I can.

Sunday night family dinner.

The 2-year-old had listened in on the dinner conversation and quietly asked her mommy for ribena and chocolate. Her preggie mommy proceeded to get only half of what she requested. The ribena half.

With the preggie mommy in the kitchen getting the ribena, her daddy decided to teach her new words.

“Wenyin, you should say this. ‘Can I have some ribena please?’ “

The little girl gave it some thought, and said, “Okay!”

Everyone burst out laughing. Her daddy was stunned.

“No no, wenyin. You say, ‘Can I have some ribena please?’ “

“Yes!”

More laughter. And Wenyin was feeling rather clever.

“Repeat this after me, wenyin. ‘Can I have some ribena please?’

“Yes!”

Everyone at the table roared with laughter. Her daddy decided to try one more time.

“Wenyin, say ‘Can I…’ “

The 2-year-old looks at her daddy suspiciously, refusing to say a word.

At this moment, preggie mommy comes back in waving the little girl’s bottle with ribena.

“Wenyin, do you want ribena?”

“YES!”

… and ex-colleagues! (yes uncle, i see you.)

Because a bunch of them got together and bought me a bouquet of really really lovely gerberras. Was honoured and touched-ded.

So for those of you who already stopped working in this office and never got a chance to see what you paid for… Here they are!

Thanks again! You guys totally made my day!!
