On a whim today, I put up a sign (among many others) on the door of our room in the office. Partly to disperse any questionable notions of my eats preference, But mainly, I find it quite a laugh.
It reads:
ICH BIN AUS SINGAPUR UND NICHT AUS CHINA.
(I am from Singapore and not China)
ICH HABE NOCH NIE HUNDE, KATZEN, MÄUSE, SCHLANGE GEGESSEN UND ICH WERDE NIEMALS SIE ESSEN.
(I have never eaten dogs, cats, mice and snakes before and will never ever try eating them)
ICH TRINKE HEISSES WASSER UND JA, ES IST GANZ NORMAL BEI UNS.
(I drink hot water and yes, this is normal from where I come from)
The message on the sign is self-explaining and I hope I do not need to clarify myself anymore. It is very irritating when you get asked 10,000 times every other day,'What's that you are drinking? Hot water????!!! Ewwww.... That's disgusting!!!!!!'
Most colleagues are guilty of the crime mentioned-above but they all laughed in good fun when the loud sign caught their eye.
I am very tempted to add in:
OH YES, SINGAPORE DOES HAVE DISCOS.
What say?
