Eavesdropping, listening into people's private conversations.
A little habit I have since the beginning of my memory.
I must be a quite high level in eavesdropping now.

You can hear the funniest of things for eavesdropping.
Some of the funniest ones I remember.

"I swear, you have an underwear obsession. Do you have to buy one box every time??"

On a bridge over looking and art museum(looks like an Eiffel tower),
This guy was leading a small group around the city.
"And that unique looking building there is the... er... I forgot..

On the train.
2 Malaysian guys talking in the train.
"You put too much then it's like you don't feel anything"
"Yea, what brand condom do you use?"
"Durex lo.."
.
.
"Eh, you know i had one friend lost it in the car."
"Isn't that illegal?"
"Yea, but i did it 4 times back in Malaysia."
"You not scared getting caught meh?"
"Not really la, cause I'm on top and she is at the bottom mah, so i can look out the windows while doing it lo."
"Maybe i should try it one day lo, hopefully my girlfriend would want to do it too."
"Yea, its quite fun, you should try."
.
And they went on and on about how they had sex with their girlfriends and the train reached the last stop so bohoo, i didn't get to listen everything. But seriously.. Malaysians on the train.. Giving us a bad name in Australia..

DeleteOne of the reason why I really love learning other languages =P
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! Can understand almost everyone. haha
DeleteGot. That's where I get my amusement.
ReplyDeleteHehehe...
Haha, office sure got alot right?
DeleteYou reminded me of a friend. About Malaysian giving Malaysian a bad name etc for example sexing around or drink til drop or something like this, talking bout sex so openly in public etc. It irks me when someone says that, especially when it involved such a trivial topic. What's is so wrong bout talking bout sex so openly that they should be said as giving Malaysian a bad name? Or is it wrong that they have sex with their gf?
ReplyDeleteJust because we don't talk bout it so openly in Malaysia? Or because its against the 'Malaysian' norm to talk bout sex so openly?
Sometimes I do wonder what counts as an 'embarassment'. The topic, the people talking so shamelessly bout it, the situation or audience.
Well its not exactly an embarrassment topic but it was in the crowded 5pm train and i could hear them from half a car away. They were loud. Like literally loud till it was just awkward.
DeleteYes, its about the sex thing and no, its not because its a taboo topic in our country but the fact that you must put the point that it is a public place and people, malaysian or other nationality, and of different ages are there. Its just basic manners. Not everyone wants to know what position you do. So i guess it would be all 3 together, people, situation and audience to make it an embarrassment.
Just my opinion..
haha, they are so easily eavesdropped.
ReplyDeleteremind me of my friend talking bad about this random chinese girl in front of her in beijing, and she was talking in french, guess what? the random chinese girl apparently speak french, HAH...!!!
so best stay eavesdropping but dun make any comment (not even in language that you think they wont understand)
Hoho! What are the odds.. Should learn something like 'pig latin'. Ultimate language to learn to talk bad about people. haha!
DeleteOoohhhh I love eavesdropping too! It's the ke-poh-ness in me I suppose. The best is I can multitask too. So when i'm working, I'll pasang one ear listening to all the juicy gossips around. Poeple will talk about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING when they think that no one else is listeninig. I know its a bad habit, but can't changed it. lolll....
ReplyDeleteHaha, I was once doing my homework In front of my friends who were gossiping. Too bad I was caught and one of the girls who I was close to shove the blunt end of the pencil in my ear. Lol!! Yups, habits don't change. Haha
Deletehahahaha..... ouch! I think eavesdropping need skills too!!! Cannot be too obvious la. I bet now you are already master the skill right?
Deletelike all the time. people thinks that you are banana and they speak in mandarin. EAVES DROP!
ReplyDeleterandom japanese tourists speaking to each other . EAVES DROP!
random couples playing the flirt game. EAVES DROP!
paying for your milk while the guys behind talk about their girl friends. EAVES DROP!
sometimes if you are lucky enough in the toilet and you hear "noise". EAVESDROP TO THE MAAAX
I laughed damn hard at this comment. Lol, not sure about the toilet thought.. ><
DeleteSuch gems!
ReplyDeleteTehee!
DeleteHaha. I'm terrible at this. Most of the times, my classmates will sit next to me and gossip for like half an hour while I'm doing something and then they'll ask me if I heard anything. And I honestly don't coz I'm not paying attention. Haha. They ALWAYS do this. They'll sit right next to me and gossip non stop. The funniest part is, they'll ask me and when I say no they'll continue again ><
ReplyDeleteWhat... Lol, don't have the gossip heart la you.. Aren't you curious on what you might hear? :P
DeleteEavesdropping. Just love 'em..hahaha. Would try to every time especially in malls. You can hear lots of juicy or dry stories. lol
ReplyDeleteI know right!! Just got the urge to follow them to continue the story. Haha
