I'm BACK!!!

Hello earthlings and I really do have to express my utmost sincere apology for not blogging for such a long time... a rebel group of marauding chipmunks have only just recently returned my stolen keyboard. Crap aside, as most of the people who read this blog know, I only blog when something rather amusing occurs. Once again, I have have chanced upon the opportunity of witnessing something "rather amusing".

A banker popped up outside my house just over an hour ago, to meet up with my parents to discuss the terms of agreement for a new house we had just bought. I noticed something different about the fellow, perhaps the nose, of the glasses, or maybe the whole body. Apparently it wasn't only me who thought so... my parents noticed the difference too... The entire conversation that follows isn't fabricated but 100% true...

Dad : "HEY Alex! You look slightly different... what happened to your hair?"
Mum : "Yeah, something changed. Did you cut your hair or something?"
Alex : "Um... no, not really"
Dad : "Did you dye your hair white or something? You're greyer than me now! Must be all the stress..."
Alex : "No, this is inherited"

At such opportune moments, my mum is famous for her one liners that come out as one thing but mean another thing entirely. True enough, just when we thought that the conversation could not further destroy the poor banker's ego...

Mum : "Aiyah, don't worry. Then you can go and dye lah!"

This was followed by an immensely awkward pause...

Alex : "Um... that would be the last thing i would want to do..."
Dad : "HAHAHAHAHA!!! Zack, did you hear that? She asked him to go and dye! HAHAHA!"
