A few days back i was preparing my army items, so i went to Guardian to shop. Wet tissues, dettol and vaseline. Alot of people might ask, why do i need vaseline? Well vaseline plays an important part in reducing abrasions. Especially the thigh area during long route marches. Please arh, i dont use it for some funny reasons ahem.
After walking a few rounds i wasnt able to locate the wet tissues and vaseline, so i went to the cashier and asked for the items.
"Excuse me, do u sell vaseline here?""对不起，你能说话语吗?"I was kinda surprise as the cashier looked local, but she's actually from China. So i asked
"那你这里有卖那个..." shit i thought to myself, what do u call vaseline in chinese. My chinese sucks i know :p
After thinking for a minute, i thought aiyah go somewhere else and look for it lar. So i asked where the wet tissue was and she directed me to a shelf. As i was choosing, i noticed that she took out a laminated piece of paper and was referring to it. I guessed it was her "translation guide".
So i bought the tissues back to the counter and asked for the total price. She said
"你在找的是不是润滑剂?" The 3 words were like the rainbow after the rain. “对，对!" i said. She then proceed to bring me personally to the shelf. I was quite shock as i saw rows and rows of condoms.
Before i could stop her she bent for the lower section of the display and took out a bottle. I read the label - Durex Lubricant. My face turned red immediately and i told her "哈哈，我在找的不是这种的润滑剂，没关系，没关系."What a joke man, lucky she didnt give me the 有色眼光
