Fatal Blueberry Attraction

Colleague peeps into my cubicle and walks in: You look good in that white top leh. Where are you going tonight huh?

Me: Oh, thanks.

Colleague: You on diet ah, seem slimmer now.

Me: Really? No la...

Colleague: You very fair hor, like me like that. Many people say I look like Taiwanese or I'm from China.

Me, nodding: Ya, I was mistaken as a Vietnamese when I was in Ho Chi Minh.

Colleague: Ya lor, so fair looking right?

Colleague, staring at the blueberry jam and cream sandwich cookies on my table: Aye, you got the blueberry one ah?

Me, nods.

Colleague: The blueberry one looks nice hor?

Me, nodding: I think so too.

Colleague: I got the strawberry one leh.

Silence.

Colleague looks at the blueberry jam and cream sandwich cookies on my desk.

Silence still.

Colleague: You very lucky hor, got the blueberry one.

Me, smirk look: Ya lor. I like blueberry too!

Silence again.

Colleague still looking at MY blueberry jam and cream sandwich cookies: Hmmm... I'm going to find someone to exchange with me.

Me, grins.

Well, usually I would not mind giving her my blueberry jam and cream sandwich cookies. Somehow, I did not. Guess my top isn't that pretty after all and I did not actually look slimmer. Nor was I that fair looking... HUMPH!
