I went over to the mini-mart just round the corner from the office. I got me a 3-in-1 coffee and a can of Nescafe.
“No thanks, I don’t need a plastic bag for that” says me.
And then she went…
“Ai suk chau boh?”
I was like…
“WHAT!? Suk chau?!”
I don’t want to smoke weed…
Then I realized she meant ‘straw’
Cos’ when you translate “Ai suk chau boh?” to English. I thought she meant “Do you want to smoke weed?” “Chau” means weed/grass while “Suk” means smoke. But “suk chau” means straw. Hokkien can be pretty tricky sometimes, it doesn’t help that my hokkien is really bad as well.
Then I saw a white girl, sun bathing…topless.
And yes, I hit the pillar in front of me and almost fell down the steps.
Life is wonderful.
