HEE-DUH
Heater di ruang kerja gue tempo-tempo nyala, tempo-tempo nggak. So it’s freakin cold man! Membuat perut constantly lapar (plus pengen kentut mulu). Ya oke laaah winter di Adelaide cuma 4-11 derajat celcius, but still… coming from a tropical paradise, this is cold for me.
So this morning Larry the maintenance guy came to the office, I almost missed him as he was leaving the office in quite a hurry. So I ran after him to the door, he was no longer in sight but there was this man (probably his staff) holding the door just heading out, so I asked him:
“Oh, is that Larry?”
Man: (raised an eyebrow , and turning his ear towards me)
Me : (repeating) “Is that Larry just now?”
Man: “Oh YIEE that’s LAWREE”
Me: ”Oh, ok..Lawry”
Man : “OY! LAWREE!”
LAWREE: (Walked back to the door and said..) “YIEE?”
Me: Hey LAWREE, could you take a look at my heater? It’s been off for twenty minutes and never went on again”
LAWREE : (Looking utterly perplexed) “What’s that?”
Me: “My HEATER Lawree, could you take a look at it? Inside the room”
Lawree: “Oooooooh the HEE-DUH???”
Me : “YEA, the HEATERRR”
Lawree : “O, okay the “HEE-DUH” (smiling, and emphasizing). YIEE sure I’ll take a look at it in a second”
And they told me I have an accent???
