When Should We be Called "Aunty"

It is a nice Saturday afternoon. As I was walking towards the Young Enterprise booth organized for the secondary school students (each school are sponsored by big MNCs), I was being called 'Aunty' a couple of times by the students who are REALLY aggresive SALES people. They were obviously trying to sell their products and push their sale quotas and forgot to be sensitive towards the patron's feelings.

Come on. Do I look very OLD?
Yes, perhaps, I'm qualified to be your aunties. But still? :P

So, I continued walking, analysing which YEs has the sweetest mouth.
Some switched and called me sister, and others called me, "Miss".
Yes, I remembered, the boy is from Chung Ling High School.

And I continued shopping and bumped into a school friend of mine. She asked her niece to call me Auntie. I was like... no .... just call me "jie jie".
Perhaps, I should start asking people to call me auntie instead.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

Monday Movie Day - Mamma Mia

Finally, after being a nuffnanger for 3 months, I was invited for a free movie at GSC Gurney. Thanks, nuffnang. Again and again. Free movie for 3. Thanks. :D The blogger community was exceptionally quiet compared to the usual cinema crowd. Perhaps, maybe, they only TALK in their blog. I dont' know. Even as we were watching a few minutes of the silent movie, there were not a single 'hoo-ing' or banana-throwing at the screens. I was looking hard to see if I know anyone. I guess it's just 5xmom with her anti-ISA tshirt. Hm.. Somewhat, after watching the movie, I felt that it was just morally so wrong. Am I too rational? 1. How can one has 3 fathers? Shouldn't they do a DNA check first? 2. Does that mean it's alright sleeping with 3 men one after another and get pregnant and raise the child in an island? 3. It seemed ok for the daughter to just call off the wedding. 4. And, the pastor actually solemnized their wedding just like that? They don't even need to att...
