I found a new place that has its queues moving slower than those in banks or government offices today. It's called Maxis Center in TTDI. What made the waiting worse was that I had to sit next to some people and endure their constant bitching about the lady's husband's brother's daughter's grandfather's second wife. Don't get me started on those who were heard having Crazy Frog's Axel F as their choice of ringtone.

So before I went ballistic, I decided to head over to the mamak shop nearby and have lunch while waiting for my number to be up. I happen to sit at the table next to a girl who was having lunch with her boyfriend. I immediately noticed that she was speaking English in an unidentifiable accent. The way the a's were sounding like e's and the way the r's were rolled, she was really trying to sound American. On the other hand, I noticed the hint of 'u' whenever the word 'color' was mentioned. For a moment there, it did sound sexy, though in a funny way.

You might think I'm being pissy over all these, I'm really not. I'm just being oversensitive to my surroundings at the moment, that's all. I know I need to desensitize myself to everything. Blame it on my being confined in the sensory deprivation tank over long periods of time. Toldya I need to get out more.
