Las Vegas
This is the closest photo i can get in connection with the title. It's a streak of light from heaven i caught accidentally on the way to Genting Highlands, Malaysia's "Las Vegas" lol.. sorry la, I'll post one on Las Vegas if I have the chance to visit it :P
I can't really tell why I feel so prolific today.. anyway this is a quip happened during my work today:
Me:
It's really hot over at the lentil counter, isn't it?
Osama:
yeah, you know there's a fan that you can use to cool down the temperature.
Matt(obvious of our conversation):
What? Are you saying it's hot here? Do you want me to go away? (chuckles)
Osama:
We're talking about lentil, not you. You are not hot at all.
Matt:
Oh, don't you know? My secret name is lentil.
Osama:
Yeah right, and mine is microsoft.
Me:
what??
Osama:
That's right. You know that you have to type in CD key whenever you install microsoft softwares right? My full name is Osama Siddiqui (CD key)
Me:
That's really funny.
Osama:
I have one for you too.
Me:
What? My name is as plain as possible: pei xin
Osama:
From now on i'm gonna call you Vegas.
Me:
?? whatever for?
Osama:
Listen. You know Las Vegas right? What does people do there?
Me:
Gamble?
Osama:
Yeah, and gambling is the sin of all sins. Plus, you don't gamble for free right? You have to pay for it. You have to pay for the sin you commit. Pay sin.
I actually burst out laughing. Anyway, it's a great introduction to many people, and Vegas is definitely easier to remember for those who can't even pronounce my name correctly.
but my real name is still Pei Xin. nothing can change it nor its meaning. My name means "nurturing a new generation" in chinese, and I'm proud my parents give it to me.
