Tip No.1 : If he or she is not a close friend, or a family member, lame jokes are not to be told hoping to solicit laughter from the other person. Because however you say it, its.not.funny. Your friends/family laugh because they have no choice.
Tip No.2 : Unless specifically asked, do not reveal your Title. Whether it be Doctor, Datuk or otherwise. Because, it was NOT asked. And frankly, nobody cares.
Tip No.3: If you cannot understand tip no 1 and 2, just stand silently in the lift.
Scene 2:
I get into the lift and press "10".
Man: Wah, you live on the 10th floor?
Me: Yeah.
Man: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Me: ??
Man: HAHAHAHAH. You WALKED ten floors UP when the lift was not working? HAHAH. TEN FLOORS! TEN FLOORS!!
Me: Yes, that is what I did.
Man: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I swear I saw tears coming out of his eyes.
Tip No.1: SHUT UP.
Tip No.2: Follow tip No.1
On a separate note: This blog is going on a hiatus until May 15th. Possibly longer. Depending on whether I survive the exams and if I do survive, I cannot guarantee how long it will take for me to recover from the shock.
