the friday five:

1. How many times have you truly been in love?
once.

2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?
he loved me back? *laugh* he's cynical, sarcastic as all heck (yes, these are good things), our senses of humour matched perfectly, and he was always, always there for me regardless.

3. What qualities should a significant other have?
oh dear. :p i have an exceedingly long list around here somewhere, but i guess the most important qualities would be intelligence, a matching sense of humour, a striking lack of chauvinism, (i.e. noone who expects me to simper up at them appreciatively), he'd be confident, but not overly so, and erm, be socially adept. lol. not someone who i'd be embarrassed to be seen with in public. haha.

4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?
i think so.

5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?
i'm not in a position to teach anyone anything.

*while calling a customer for marital status and DOB*
Me: Hello, I'm calling regarding Mr Tan's Medicare policy application?
Old Chinese Lady: Eh?
M: *repeat*
OCL: (bloody hell, just realised i've forgotten my hanyu pinyin too) *in chinese* what are you talking abt?
M" *wracks brain trying to think of chinese words for insurance company, policy, occupation etc*
then i asked her if he was married. and like, doh, cos she's his wife, right? she sounded quite offended and i skimmed over it by immediately asking about his occupation. with the wrong phrase. GAH!

second customer, regarding her husbands IC number and DOB:

old malay lady: sorry?
me: *experiencedly* do you speak english?
