The Greatest Insult
I've just been given the greatest insult ever.
By my own dad.
No this is not a grumbling session. I just found it so amusing.
Dad walked in this morning and greeted me as I got out of bed with
"I just took your clothes out of the wash. Your jeans has this peculiar... [searches for a word] scent. Its like... [struggling to find adjective] a smelly angmoh* that hasn't bathed for days"
Ok. So my jeans were smelly. But who could blame me... I was wearing that for 3/4 days. I was packing and moving out of halls, and didn't have time to do the laundry. =P Also I might have probably lost my sense of smell, as a survival selectivity evolution, in order to cope with the smelly piggies I went travelling with, one of whom wore the same pair of jeans for the entire 2 weeks, and the other survived on 4 pairs of underwear (without washing mind you!) for 3 weeks.
Its no wonder I've lost my sense of smell (boohoo...)
So if I meet any of you guys now, and I still smell like a smelly angmoh*, I apologise. I've changed my jeans, but dad says my whole luggage smells like that. =(\
Though I am curious. Do I smell? [insecurities resurfacing]
* really sorry to my british mates. angmoh is a word singaporeans use to describe non-chinese people. basically it means red-haired. but i dont see how all non-chinese are red haired. its slightly derogatory. but i was quoting from dad verbatim.

OIE! :P I'm no smelly pig hehe
no need to get so defensive. I only saw u for 2 days. its the -other- smelly pigs. unless u are self confessing to one =P
hey.... you are half right for angmao definition. angmao is referring to red-haired people, and that is generally referring to the whites. of cos u can't say a black is angmao, 'cos it doesn't suit the definition. :) Yah lor, only red-haired means whites.
