Xerxes the fruity king??

I was driving this morning and I saw a sticker attached to a Kancil that read “KING OF THE ROAD” in bright yellow. Then, a bus was tail-gating the poor car and it had to move out of the way. So much for being the King huh?

Have you ever fumbled while introducing yourself? I know I have. Maybe because I’m just being caught off guard, and the spur of the moment thing. This don’t happen too frequent though (thank God), but when you think back, its rather funny. These are some of the “boo-boos” I’ve made (promise not to laugh) while introducing myself:

1. Giving the person another person’s name card by accident
2. Shake (a girl’s) hands with a grip of a python, till that person says “ouch!”
3. Shake the person’s hand while my hands were wet/oily/sticky
4. Mispronouncing the name of the person, even though he/she said it aloud the first time
5. Can’t help but smirk because the person’s name sounds weird/funny
6. Introduce the person I’m with as someone else
7. Fumble my OWN name (this only happens if it’s a drop dead gorgeous girl..but can you blame me?)

So, if you’re one of those people who I introduced myself with the methods above, so sorry.

I was at Mont Kiara Starbucks on a lovely Sunday morning, with my hot cup of coffee, browsing through the internet, when suddenly a Japanese lady came up to me and ask me to help her set up her internet connection as she couldn’t seem to be able to connect to the internet. I didn’t really know what she wanted at first because she couldn’t really speak good English, but I did go over to her place and try to help her out. Guess what?…her Windows OS on her laptop is in Japanese!!! I was like “errr…ok..I will see what I can do, because I don’t know how to read Japanese..” Luckly, I was able to navigate my way through the settings (thanks to the years of experience…cheh..:p) and guessed what each button meant. I finally manage to get her connected online. However, she didn’t have a Timezone account, and she had to register for one. I helped her to register an account, but somehow, what ever you type, seems to be converted to Japanese characters! (the keyboards on her laptop are in Japanese too!!). I soon gave up in the registration process and just ask her to use my account. She then thanked me and we introduced ourselves. Believe it or not, I introduced myself in Japanese!!! “Watashi wa namewo, Nick des” She was impressed!! She then introduced herself as Connie des. Well after that she thanked me again, and we then returned to our respective places.
