when a local actor meets a china girl

mediacorp actor yap say ping came to my workplace yesterday to do some shopping. i only found out he is a datuk when he handed me his credit card. it read: yap say ping datuk. for those of you who might be more familiar with his chinese name, it's 叶世品. the last show i saw of him, he played the husband of 林梅娇 in the 9pm show switched 幸运星.
so as he was retrieving his free gift after making his purchase, our chinese colleague handed him a form to fill. this china girl only found out he's an actor after a promoter told her. so she looked at the form, and under the name column, datuk yap wrote: francis yap. then china girl asked:
china girl: 你的华文名是什么?
francis: 我叫李名顺。
china girl: 你是李名顺我就是范文芳。
i have quite a number of story regarding this girl though. the first day of work, myself, a malaysian and her were at work, we introduced ourselves.
me: 金汉
malaysian: 美金
china girl: sylvia
lol... so another thing is, let me tell you a story about my cousin's company. a few years ago, he hired an administrator to do his (what else but...) administrative work. this girl cleans people's desks everyday and lay their stuff nicely but the problem is, she doesn't do her work. she does everything else except her work. there was once when she was printing a report and while the report was printing, she just sat there and waited. my cousin went up to her and asked...
my cousin: have you done the accounts?
girl: haven't.
my cousin: how come haven't do?
girl: oh, coz i'm printing the report now.
my cousin: report printing you cannot open excel now ah?
girl: oh cannot.
my cousin: why cannot? you dunno windows can multitask ah?
girl: oh i dunno.
my cousin: oh is it? you dunno? then how come the other day i saw you playing music and playing game at the same time?
another instance was after she cleaned a guy's desk, the guy saw it and asked...
guy: did you clean my desk?
girl: yes! nice or not? you like it?
guy: no! can you please just go and do your work?
so what's the purpose in telling this story other than that it's quite funny. the china girl at my place is pretty much the same. though she doesn't clean other people's desk, she seldom stays at her work place and we end up having to double up for her. she keeps disappearing from her station and when the crowd comes, there's like no way for us to manage.
grrrr...
oh and today i saw a hot girl. looks, body she has it all and a reasonable height. lucky guy.
