Humorous Tony!

My colleague next to me behaved exceptionally 'nonsensical' today. His name is Tony, 33 years old & he's from New Creation Church. In a way, I find that I kind-of like to have him as a colleague. He's very light hearted (though it can be detrimental when it comes to rushing work at times) & crap about all sorts of things... In short, he's the one in the group who 'softens up' the tense atmosphere, coz my supervisor is a very focused & intense person... & Tony is the exact opposite. So he kind-of balances up how things feel like in my department...

Tony started asking me strange & humorous questions today. For example, he asked me if I watch soccer & I said no. Then he jokingly remarked, "What kind of guy are you? Don't watch soccer? I tell you ah, nowadays less & less guys watch soccer..."

Occasionally throughout the day, Tony would ask me other questions like how many siblings do I have, etc. One other thing he asked me was, "What kind of hobbies do you do?" I replied that I don't have time for hobbies nowadays, coz I'm busy... but if I have the time, it's the usual things that Singaporeans do lor... watch movie, eating, etc.

Tony replied, "Ya lah... Singaporeans very boring... hor..." So I replied that I do run & swim at times too (though I haven't done that in a long time)... then I paused before saying, "Oh ya... I like to trek mountains too..."

Both Tony & Josherine (the only female colleague in my department) turned around & Tony exclaimed, "Climb mountain? Singapore where got mountain for you to climb?" So I started to explain about my trekking expedition to Kota Kinabalu last year... & Josherine nodded in response.

This was when the most powerfully humorous thing was said to me today. Totally out of the blue, Tony asked, "Why do you go & climb that mountain for? Mission trip ah?"

Hahahahaha... that was when I totally roared in laughter... & Josherine laughed too! She said something like, "Mission trip? What mission trip?" Then Tony went on to explain that I trekked up there to visit the people staying up there... like the natives & all those people... It was totally crap, coz there was NOBODY staying on Kota Kinabalu... well, not anywhere near the top anyway.

But Tony is funny... he really makes me laugh... sometimes the things he says are just so ridiculously nonsensical! Dry humour, with a tinge of crappy nonsense! I find him so cute... coz he can be cute when he's 'bo chup' about things & people sometimes... very 'happy-go-lucky' fella... =)
