See Me No Up

5 of us went out for lunch today. We were having a conversation during the kopi session after lunch, talking about whipping and lashes. HC was talking about lashing Kelvin with a Valentino belt. And so I added my little input to the exchange.

Me: Eh, Kelvin, not bad what! Then your weals will be branded weals leh…
Kel & the rest at the table: Huh? What? “Wheels”?
Me: No lah. Weals as in W-E-A-L-S.
The rest: There’s no such word lah. Dumbo. It should be “welts”.
Me: No, there IS such a word!! You guys don’t believe me!! There’s really such a word!! *pout*
The rest: Hmm mm…*unconvinced faces*

Minutes later…on the way back to office.

Kel: *Fiddling with his IPhone”
Kel: Eh guys, there’s really such a word leh. I just checked the dictionary. So she’s right.
Me: YAH LAH!!! Then all of you didn’t believe me!!! See me no up!
Me: *wails*
Me: Although my level of English is not extremely high, and I speak Singlish, but it’s still considered quite good ok!
The rest: Orh ya yah..okok. *Continues with their other conversations*

Me: .......*sulks*.........
