Is it my blusher or is it my blush?
A photocopier machine. 3 ladies. Many pieces of worksheets.
After looking at her for 20 seconds, A spoke.
A: You ah... You are really getting prettier and prettier eh?
She looks around and responded with a "huh"?
A: Ya, you. You getting prettier eh?
She very graciously smiled and said "Thank you".
A: I wouldn't be surprised if you tell me you are getting married soon. You look like you are.
She reacted immediately with a "Huh, no lah!!"
K: Ya. You have this glow on your face recently. Getting prettier...
A: Ya... Either you are getting married soon or you must be in love.
She opened her eyes quite big in amaze-amusement and said, "No lah... you both thinking too much."
She reasserted her state of non-attachment by saying the Chinese equivalence of 'not even 1/4 way there'.
K: Maybe you are, but just that we don't know... That's why you have this radiant look...
A: Ya... I can see the hormonal change in you. This rosy glow...
She laughed. She said, "Hormonal change? Next thing you would be telling me is you think I'm pregnant!"
At around this time, the papers and worksheets have been sorted out and each took theirs and walked away to their own work, smiling. Smiling, ostensibly for very different reasons.
