21:13.

On other notes, the other day I was buying more fresh mushrooms at Vic Mart, and the guy at the stall rattled something off in some foreign language. Huh? I said, and he did it again.

Me: "What language is that?"

Him: "Ooops, wrong language. Japanese."

Me: *amused look*

Him: "So where you from? Hong Kong..."

Me: *jumps in* Singapore

Him: *mental gymnastics as he tries to remember what language Singaporeans speak* Er, don't think I know the language.

Me: We speak English predominantly actually.

Yup.... Still, the guy was so chirpy and friendly and without any malice that I didn't take any offence at all though the transcript above may turn some folks off.

Interesting, all these.
