Small talk at Lunch

S: Are you from Myanmar.
T: Yes, I am! How do you know that?

S: I have heard the Burmese talking. So I recognize the accent. The other day, I met with some when I went to a hospital too.
T: I see.

S: Are you being here for long?
T: Yes, I am, for quite some time. I've been working here for six years.

T: How about you? Are you here for a visit?
S: No, I'm not. I'm a local here, with hat. :)

T: Oh, really! I thought you are from Europe visiting here.
S: No. :)

S: So you know Aung San Sukyi has already become a president?
T: Hmm, no, not yet. The election will be in next year.

S: But she has many supporters.
T: Yes, she does.

S: Are you feeling lonely after you finished your work here?
T: Urm, no, I'm not. I am OK to stay alone too.

S: By the way, you know, the Singapore speaking standard is very bad.
T: Hmm, what standard do you mean? (I didn't hear the word speaking)

S: Speaking English. They are speaking very bad, you know. People from other countries do set and follow the standard.

T: Hmm, may be they want to add some uniquely.
S: Nah, they are just becoming rude.

S: OK, we've gotta go now. Nice talking to you. See you.
T: Nice talking to you too. See you around.

River safari #2

R: Thet, have you booked for the river safari?
T: nope, I haven't. I thought it is not nice. Is it nice?

R: yes, it is. But when I went there, I couldn't take the boat. Now it should be ready.
T: oh great, I'll try to go there then.

R: yeah, you will see the sea animals, then crocodiles and the pandas. And you know, panadas they eat a lot. First, they eat handful of food, then go around just for a while, then eat again.
T: haha, they must be very cute.

R: yes, they are.
T: can they be seen clearly? I mean are they close enough to the walkway?

R: yes, they are. You can see then pretty clearly.
T: OK, great! I'll go there soon. Thanks.

Day 1

1.
K: Hey Thet, do you know something? In Qatar, our colleague, Berry got thrown with the stones for wearing the tank top.
ေဟ့ ကုိသက္၊ မင္းသိလား ငါတုိ႔ လုပ္ေဖာ္ကုိင္ဖက္ ဘယ္ရီ တေယာက္ ကာတာမွာ အျပင္သြားတာ ႀကဳိးတေခ်ာင္း အက်ၤီဝတ္မိလုိ႔ ေက်ာက္ခဲနဲ႔ လွမ္းေပါက္ခံရေသးတယ္။

T: Oh my god! Did she get hurt?
ဘုရားေရ၊ သူနာသြားေသးလား။

K: No, she could run back in the apartment and wore another layer. She was fine.
ဟင့္အင္း၊ သူသိသိခ်င္း အထဲ အျမန္ျပန္ေျပးဝင္လုိက္ႏုိင္တယ္၊ ေနာက္ၿပီး ေနာက္တထပ္ဝတ္လုိက္ေတာ့ အဆင္ေျပသြားတယ္။

T: Thank god.
ေတာ္ေသးတာေပါ့။

2.
J: Hey Ah Thet, I wanna ask you something. I cannot print from my computer. I've already connected to office network. But another thing is that I connected to LAN cable and the wireless.
ေဟ့ ေမာင္သက္ေရ၊ ငါနင့္ကုိ တခုေမးခ်င္တယ္။ ငါ့ကြန္ပ်ဴတာကေန စာထုတ္လုိ႔ မရဘူးျဖစ္ေနတယ္။ ရုံးအင္တာနက္ကုိလည္း ခ်ိတ္ထားတာပဲ။ ဒါေပမယ့္ ေနာက္တခုရွိတာက ငါ ရုံးတြင္းအင္တာနက္ႀကဳိးေရာ ဝုိင္ယာလက္စ္ အင္တာနက္ကုိပါ ခ်ိတ္မိထားတယ္။

T: Oh yeah, I think your computer gets the address from wireless so you cannot print. You should use only LAN or Wireless at a time.
အင္း ဟုတ္ၿပီ၊ ဒါဆုိ ငါထင္တာ နင့္ကြန္ပ်ဴတာက ရုံးတြင္းအင္တာနက္မဟုတ္ဘဲ ဝုိင္ယာလက္စ္ကေန အင္တာနက္ မိေနလုိ႔ ထုတ္လုိ႔မရတာျဖစ္မယ္။ နင္ ရုံးတြင္းအင္တာနက္ခ်ိတ္ရင္ခ်ိတ္ မဟုတ္ရင္ ဝုိင္ယာလက္စ္ကုိ ခ်ိတ္ရမယ္။

J: Oh I see, so it's just either or.
ေၾသာ္ သိၿပီ၊ ဒါဆုိ တႀကိမ္မွာ တခုပဲ ခ်ိတ္ထားရမွာေပါ့။

T: Yup.
အင္း ဟုတ္တယ္။

J: OK, Thank you, Thet!
အင္း ေက်းဇူးေနာ္ ေမာင္သက္။

T: You're welcome!
အင္း ရပါတယ္။
