As mentioned in the first post, both 笨蛋s are very absent-minded people. Their memories tend to appear randomly and thus the events registered in this blog may not always be in chronological order.
Recollection #1 - CNY gathering 2010
The two 笨蛋s volunteered to buy dim sum and sushi for the occasion. (Before your story telling ability sets in, there's nothing 笨蛋 about volunteering to buy food. Read on....) The 2 笨蛋s first set off to buy the sushi since they are pak toring at JP. Having calculated to cater the sushi for 30+ people, the 2 笨蛋s decided to order 2 big boxes of sushi from the sushi shop. Having skilled in carrying multiple bags on 2 hands (all learned from the weekly marketing training), carrying the 2 big boxes of sushi posed no problem for both of them. *v* However, as both boxes are quite bulky, both 笨蛋s had some trouble ensuring the sushi inside the boxes stay in their original shape.
The food shopping ended with the purchase of another 3 small boxes of dim sum from a nearby food court. Here comes the 笨蛋 part..... after lugging all the big and small boxes home, both 笨蛋 realized that there is actually an ordering hotline for the sushi to be delivered to the desired location from the sushi shop. As a 'reward' for missing the hotline, both 笨蛋s had to grab and hug all the food in big big plastic bags to the gathering.
Moral of the story: Always make full use of the available pair of eyes for spying/surveying the surroundings. Look out especially for magical telephone numbers, any 4 adjacent digits of a long string of numbers, shoe sizes, bus stop numbers....... you never know when these numbers can help you lighten your load or in the best case scenario, help you strike 4D....
Recollection #2 - A trip to the bank
As a filial son, 大笨蛋 is used to accompanying his mum on shopping trips to JP. Sometimes during these shopping trips, his mum will also update the bank account books. Focusing onto one of the usual shopping trips in 2010, 大笨蛋 was tasked to do the 'honor' of updating the bank account books. Thinking nothing much of the action to feed the machine, 大笨蛋 just took the bank books out of their casing and slot them into the machine. Here comes the 笨蛋 part... the machine, upon receiving the bank books, will normally make a lot of noise to show that it is doing its work. However on that particular moment when 大笨蛋 inserted the books, the machine stayed silent.... both books are stuck in the slot catered for only 1 book. 大笨蛋 had done the 'impossible' of slotting 2 books into the machine. Instead of an instant update of the books, 大笨蛋's mum had to wait for 2 weeks for the return of the books. Sigh.
Moral of the story: Always design the slot for the bank book updating machine to only and ONLY accept 1 bank book. Also, to allow added security favored by most banks, there must be instructions to tell the user to follow the work procedures of bank teller aunties ---> lick your thumb, apply pressure, feel and confirm that you have taken only 1 book from the casing, then insert the book into the machine for instant updates.
Recollection #3 - Going out
This incident happened only to 大笨蛋. Looking at the entries in this post, it seems that 大笨蛋 is more 笨蛋 as of now... Back to the story... it's one of those 'need to rush out of home to meet friends because we are late again' times some weeks back. 大笨蛋, after beautifying his appearance, was all ready to go out... then comes the 笨蛋 part... feeling weird at his neck area, 大笨蛋 realized that his shirt was worn on the wrong side and had to risk messing his 美美 hair style to wear the shirt properly.
Moral of the story: Buy t-shirts with duo design both front and back. They have same size t-shirts such as uni-sex, why not have t-shirts with both front and back the same cuttings...
