What Modesty..??
As you all know lah..! i’ve been ordering chinese.. quite a few times now.. since.. the new chinese restaurant opened.
And each time.. if i wanted something special.. i make it a point… to call the boss myself… Mr Choo.
But i got very tulan-ed.. the second time i ordered food from Mr Choo… because here i was trying to be modest ( my mother taught me manners ok..!). Dear Mr Choo had asked me how business was.. and i had replied.. “oh.. so-so” .. not as good as your lor..!!
Guess what Mr Choo’s reply was..?? “how come..?? how come .. only so-so..??? !!???”
Wah Lau Oiii..!! here i’m trying to be modest.. and not trying to steal your “thunder” .. and then you donch appreciate.. some more trying to tell me.. how to run my business..???
You Tulan-ed or not..??? I very..!! so now.. when i talked to Mr Choo.. i said.. “very good, very good..!!” when he asked me about my business..!!!
Is this Mr. Choo older than you? If he is..mebbe he’s just trying to help out another fellow “Chinese”. Y’know? A fatherly figure. That’s my positive thinking…*sending good vibes to MB…sending good vibes to MB*
I know sometimes ppl can be a bit “overboard” with their advices..just shake it off lor.
Hey..Vien,
Nope.. Mr Choo is younger ….!! and plus for someone who is new in town.. i donch think he should be “helping” another fella chinese.. by making un-necessary remarks/questions. Nah.. i think .. some ppl are just not taught to fine-tune what they say. But nevermind lah..!! he is new.. so i’ll forgive him.. kekekkee!!

Heheheh…maybe Mr. Choo wants to ‘kaypoh’ why your business is only so-so
Hey.. Barb,
Maybe..!! but the tone was like blaming us.. that it was only so-so.. that’s why i quite “tulan-ed” lor..!
