Unintentional R(A) comments
After our Esplanade performance last Sat, a few of us (mostly those from my usual choir clique) proceeded for supper at Breekos, Bugis (hope I didn't get the name wrong). In the midst of our conversation, the topic (inevitably) turned to stuffs that were slightly more R(A) lah (cos some of the guys were also getting more drunk). But the most hilarious issue turned out to be one on the R(A) comments coming out of the most unlikeliest persons. I could however, only remember 2 examples cited that night:
Example 1
One of our pieces that we performed that night was a movement from the Carmina Burana Suite. There's a portion where the lyrics goes like this (latin/German) "Me-us a-mi-cus , Me-us a-mi-cus" The pronounciation is something like "Meh Ooze Ah Mi Koos (x2)" According to my choir mate Charlie, his friend told him that from the audience seats, we sounded more like "没有擦屁股, 没有擦屁股" Aiyoh...lucky he told me this AFTER the performance. If not, I would have burst out laughing whenever we go through this piece. Wah Lau!
Example 2
Jiayi, another choir guy, told us a funny incident surrounding his nerdy and 乖 friend in poly who was saying goodbye to his teacher, Mr Chee. Can you guess what his friend shouted from second level to the teacher? " Mr Chee, Bye! Mr Chee, Bye!" Aiyoh!!! And she didn't even know the blunder until Jiayi told her about it. Wah Lau...I nearly died from laughing man..Utterly priceless!!

Hahaha! Poor Mr Chee. I can imagine the face of all those people within earshot who don't know he is Mr Chee.

Morale of the story is to say goodbye in Mandarin if one ever has a teacher by the surname of Chee....=P
