I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT

sometimes, it's just fun to play dumb for a bit.

like...pretend you don't know the language. in this case, the dialect.

just a couple of days ago, my workmate introduced me to this guy as "his working partner". in cantonese.

then this guy says something like "she can be your girlfriend as well right?"

and my workmate says he'd have to get a queue number to date me.

so the guy laughs and says "then i'd better get my number too!"

look...this conversation is happening right in front of me.

i can't remember what else my workmate said, but i felt too embarrassed to let this go on, so i looked at my workmate and told him to "shut up".

and they both looked at me in surprise...realizing i did know cantonese.

last evening, while having dinner with the ex-crushee, i realized how extremely rational i was during the crush period.

now that it's over, and i'm superbly less uptight, i'm starting to have a lot more fun with the people around me.

stress aside, this week's a great week to resume salsa lessons.

and to start rueda with a new buncha people, plus a new friend =)
