put downs

1) about this filing cabinet i'd arranged to buy from some graduating person and asked von to drive me to collect

von: what do you want a filing cabinet for anyway?
me: for papers lah.
von: you file things
von: i note with disbelief

2) on su-lin watching her first monty python movie at age 25.

me: su-lin has just watched holy grail for the first time!
julian: i know. how did she live that long right?

3) on choonping

me: do you think, su-lin, that people are forgetting me? like choonping said they would?
su-lin: i wouldn't bother about what choonping says.
