here is what just happened in the office....

h: wah! i don't need reminder that i'm male!
the dad: what happened?
h: this ang moh ah.. send me email.. say 'gender reminder'. i don't need him to remind me of my gender. i know i'm male.
the dad and others: *laughs*
h: eh i think you better check if it's still there lah. i know it's still there. but better check in case.
the dad and others: *laughs harder*

me to a: hmmm seem like after so much teasing from k, he's gotten more jovial and able to joke back ah?
a: yah seems that way.
me: not so anal.

sidenote: above mentioned person, h, stepped on several sets of toes and appeared to be super anal retentive, unflexible and set in his narrow ways. but after much ribbing and jacking from k, he has shown remarkable and drastic changes to becoming more jovial and able to take jokes and even make some of his own (which are funny!!) positive environment for positive growth.
