Some Q and A when I visit outside

When I visited outside last month, I encountered the following questions and answers:

Q and A 1

A lady asked me: “Do you think the ladies here
charming?”

I replied: “Of course. Here, the ladies who were in their 20s
like roses, those who were in their 30s like a love song and who were 40 become
perfect”

The lady asked again: “How about those after 40?”

I mulled over for a while and replied: "No comment. As no matter what their age are, all the ladies here never look over 40"

Q and A 2

A lady asked me: "Do you like the ladies here more, or like the ladies in Singapore more?"

I replied: "I like all the ladies who like me"

Q and A 3 

 One night, it was late, someone knock on my door. When I opened the door, I found a beautiful young lady standing outside.

When she saw me, she showed embarrassed and said: "Sorry, I should knock at the wrong door"

I said: "the door is right , but the time has belated for 40 years"

  2. Hi Sister June

    You call me ‘kor’ make me sense the summer breeze (make me feel fine), thanks

    Let start from the beginning again:

    – I ask you for your smiles
    – You ask me for my eyes (to see your smiles)
    – Together with my ears (to hear you speak)
    – I ask your lips and mouth in return (for the smiles and talk)

    Then we go happily to the April Walk, hand in hand, you smile and talk, I see and listen for the whole route (of course, I will also smile), deal?

  3. Hi Andrew Kor

    No problem, will catch up with u on April Walk.

    Also I am looking forward to take many nice photos. Stephen Low, I will need yr help.

    See all again!

  6. Being myself Cantonese, I am sure “gor” zeroes in on the right Cantonese pronunciation for brother. “Kor” – with the “k” intonation – is clearly a shade away from being right. Kor sounds closer to the Hokkien word for bitter.

    Cantonese don’t address their elder brothers as dai kor but rather as dai gor. Furthermore, there is no such thing as “dai kors” or “dai gors” in Cantonese. After all, Cantonese is still Cantonese, and not should not be spoken or written according to English grammar. We should be proud of our cultural inheritance from our forebears.

    We are Orientals(Easterners), definitely not Occidentals, another word for Westerners (Caucasians). We eat using chopsticks, but can easily switch over to the fork and spoon anytime, anywhere subject to the prevailing Chinese or Western meal occasion. Most Singaporeans are highly well travelled and adaptable, thanks to our strong Sing dollar making it possible.

    Sincerely,

    Terry

  7. #6 Fourth line……”Cantonese, and not should not be spoken,”………the preceding “not” should be deleted. Sorry for my oversight due to my poor eyesight.

  9. Ha ha, Terry, why so rigid?

    Communication is between (or among) people. The most important is we understand their real meaning which expressed from the other side.

    When I saw June called me “Andrew Kor”, I knew she means “Andrew ?“ (actually she should call me Andrew ??),and means she is friend to me. I feel fine and like it.

    See you and June in the walk, but I will not hand in hand with you hor.

  10. #9 Hi Andy (short for Andrew),

    Congrats for saying you’re not holding my hand in order not to give the wrong impression that we are gay.

    Next time, please think twice before letting unwholesome messages tumble out of your mouth which might be misinterpreted by your listeners. It is not worth it.

    Terry

  11. Wow, Terry, you are really ??, so easy to point out one of my shortcoming.

    Yes, when I communicate with others, I just express directly with what is in my mind, I will not cover-up myself or present myself in a higher level than I really am. I also not try to polish my wording, may be I don’t have this ability. so my expression may be rude and easily misunderstanding.

    I understand, for those who know who I am, and what I am, they should understand my meanings and always forgive my rudeness (must thanks them for this). For those who know who I am but don’t know what I am, they may understand or misunderstand my meanings, Such as I said ‘hand in hand’, some take it as a joke, but some may think I am a gay.

    To these person, I think no matter ‘how they interpret’ or ‘say I am rude’, it is their matter, none of my business and I will say: “WHO CARE!”

    I don’t have a bit intention to change my shortcoming mentioned above, and may be this is my another shortcoming. HAHAHA……

  12. Andy,

    I think you are still quite a nice guy to have around in any social setting. I had not hinted that you are rude, so there wasn’t the need to defend yourself. Since you have insisted that you only want to be yourself and are unwilling to take worthwhile advice, so let it be so long as it makes you happy.

    I am thankful that you will not hold “hand in hand” with me on the next walk, which saves me from probable utter embarrassment from the indelible homosexual stigma(stink) attached to male adults seen doing it.

    A simple firm handshake lasting a few seconds is still fine between any two individuals, irrespective of genders, signifying friendship is welcome as a prelude to a budding friendship or a long mutually beneficial business relationship. This the accepted social norm.

  14. Haha, Daniel, very funny, just want to add some more, hope you don’t mind

    SEK DOLL ALL DOLL ???,
    GON DOLL CHOR DOLL ???,
    FON PEI ZUI HOU LAH… ?????.

  15. Wise statements won’t create friction with others in the first place. Sometimes, people can rapid fire words from their mouths without evaluation through their brains. This is the main problem.

    Thumbs up to you Daniel Chan for your flowery poem
    beautifully rendered. I appreciate that very much. Well done.

    Thank you.

  16. Haha…Cantonese has plenty of witty (sometimes wicked) humour. It takes a truly talented Cantonese like you 2 to appreciate it. See you gentlemen on the 14 April at the WALK.
    ???????…????,????.

  17. Andrew, your spontaneity and unique humour are what define you. It does take a while for people to know “who you are, and what your are”, but I got it.

  18. Hi Lydia

    It is very easy to know who a person is, but it may be quite difficult to know what a person is.

    Especially for our Chinese, we believe ????, ????. In order to win the other side, we will cover-up ourselves, or present a not-real self to the others. May be it is suitable in the business world, but it is surely not suitable in a friendship world. There is no one side win and one side loss condition in the friendship. There should always be win-win or loss-loss.

    I like to use a management technique called ‘Johari window’ (????)to make friend. This technique ask you – “Known to self” (understand yourself),and “Known to other” (after that, let your friends know the real you, not a cover-up one)

    After that, if we still be friend, it should be a real friendship and last for long.

    Sorry for my mumbling.
