I realise I’m surrounded by amazing people. Amazingly trusting people. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s a good thing infact, and they should trust me.
But sometimes, it’s just apparent that what I’m saying is a joke. Ya know, joke means it cannot be taken literally and seriously.
2 young girls (I mean REALLY young) joined us for netball 2 weeks ago. One of them didn’t wear good shoes and got this huge blister on the ball of her right (or left?) foot by the end of the night.
So while we were taking a break, sitting around, everyone giving their 2cents about the blister, I said casually, “Just use cling wrap and wrap around your foot after you cut off the skin lor. Waterproof and wouldn’t stick to your socks.”
We laughed. At the silliness of that thought. But apparently not everyone did.
Moments later during our supper, I was proudly displaying my new mobile and saying that there is absolutely no need to buy cover and whatnots, just use cling wrap to wrap around the phone as protection. So convenient right!
One dude, who is less clued-in, looked at me bewildered. Please note we were already laughing at that point. Not wanting him to die of heartattack or anything, in between my laughs, I had to state the obvious, “JUST KIDDING LAH!!”
To which, he heaved a big sigh of relief, “Oh haha!! I was wondering you cannot be serious about cling wrap when you suggested to that girl earlier on about her blister.”
I tell you, that was definitely one of the top 3 lines and big sweat drop on the forehead moments of my life.
I had to bit my lips and in the process of controlling from laughing out loud, almost choked myself to death.
Just when I thought this is the winner, Kat (aka small boobs), my buddy went one up.
The front of my car is decorated with much dents and scratches lately. Totally depresses me. Not going into details what happened but anyways, this day as per usual, Kat and I drove out for lunch.
Talking about the state of the front of my car, I scoffed, “Haiya! Forget about repainting or touching up lah, just wrap around with cling wrap can liao! Best protection!”
Slience followed. Approximately 54seconds later, Kat asked, “Can meh?!”
Speechless, I turned and looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. I burst out laughing in the end and she almost clobbered me to death upon realising I was only joking.
I must say and admit, cling wrap is indeed useful and versatile. Ranging from wrapping wound, protecting mobile (or remote control) to car. How can we ever live without cling wrap?
Come one everyone, repeat after me — cling wrap是万能的!!
Ok stop! Kids please don’t try this at home. Cling wrap should be use to wrap food and that’s about it. Don’t be like these adults. I also don’t know what to say about them.
