Remember your Army days? The language you spoke and the way your conversation is conducted, be it you are a man or commander, it is just so army. It is so amazing as it will only happen when you are in those uniform (I thought) when you are back to civilian life, it’s like the reset button is being pushed and you not even become civilize, you become smarter.
Something happened today, all of the suddenly in just a few SMSs, I was transported back to the past with one of my friend. You see we serve our national service at least 12years apart but army language never differ since from his days.
It started when I was begging around for some songs needed to help out in a wedding, apparently they were not familiar songs I sing every Sunday. Started texting 1 of my brothers who has a library of all this.
Bro> Yes, bro. U mean the CD or song sheets with chords?
MArk> Great bro… I need the song for someone wedding I and Sheryl will be helping out. You have?
Bro> Is it alright if I pass u the CD on SUN? Anyway, the original CD is Hokkien but can be sung in Mandarin also. It will be a challenge to u to sing in Hokkien. Ha, Ha
MArk> Thanks bro.. I am hokkien Ge Shen Ok ;) Haha.
Bro> Actually, I want to tell u that u have no problem singing Hokkien because u are also a Hokkien ‘Peng’ and Ah Beng. Ha, ha. Thank God you are not so Ah Beng now.
MArk> I am a sar tiao Ok!
