17.02.2012 | 靚仔靚女

[Volume 7 Issue 2, #1327]
上個星期提到點樣想辦法記住別人個名, 不過有好時候突然有緣喺某些場合撞到, 一時三刻都真係會醒唔起對方姓甚名誰.. 為了避免尷尬嘅最好方法, 就係懶熟懶熱情咁行埋去作狀握手搭膊頭, 然後一句「靚仔」(如果對方係男性)或「靚女」(如果對方係女性)稱呼.. 呢兩個稱呼好universal, 萬試萬靈架!! 如果你發現我咁樣稱呼你, 你大概知道咩事啦, 呵呵~~ :p
i mentioned about trying to remember names last week, but there are times when you just bump into someone at some occasion, and it's quite impossible to recall his/her name instantly.. the best thing to do in order not to get into awkwardness, go forward and pretend to be very friendly, try to shake hands or tap on the shoulders, then say "hey bro!!" (if he is a guy) or "hey pretty!!" (if she is a lady) to address.. i find these terms very universal and works everywhere!! so if you notice i address you this way one day, well you know what happened, hehe~~ :p

    哈哈哈~果然是好方法涡~
    我都时常称呼同事/朋友- 美女
    要不然就是 - 朋友， hey 朋友....
    连马来文都是, hey kawan.....

      Yes. Like that lar...

      Or if meet soemwhere, ask generic question
      1. Shopping?
      2. Where are you working now?
      3. You alone ah? Meeting someone?

      That's usually my line. But my favourite one is, pretending not to see unless people say hi to me first! So unfriendly kan?

      Don't ask about BF, kids, parents. xD

      Because this actually happen to me a lot. I don't know why but I always meet people who are very friendly to me, know my name etc but I cannot remember who they are/their names! I'm soooooo bad!

    8. yvonne18/2/12 7:07 PM

      Lina, you 'see through" the person?? They probably think you are snobbish, unfriendly comes second :p

      Delete
  15. lina17/2/12 12:40 PM

    If I forgot, I just compensate being super friendly and try not have conversation that needs his/her name come out.

    Otherwise, I'll call you "sayang" ;p

    1. yvonne17/2/12 1:28 PM

      Hahaha, yeah, act as if I know his/her name but carefully avoid the names part.... not going to ask further about his gf /wife / mother / father / sister / brother 's condition.

      Later the questions back fired me, especially the NAME issue...

    2. Koh Kian Fai17/2/12 3:01 PM

      lol Call people Sayang will be dam wrong ok! That 1 is call your beloved le XD

    3. lina17/2/12 6:14 PM

      I don't call "sayang". I got more "manja" name for him. ;p

      That's why can use "sayang", "darling" and "dear" freely. LOL

      Luckily you made it clear here.... sayang / dear - means you've forgotten the names.

      I have dealings with people in the service & hospitality sector. They all call everyone sayang one. So rub off on me. ;0

    4. yvonne17/2/12 4:07 PM

      Ah, calling sayang sounds sooo dear to that person. It's a manja calling, kekeke! Ahem, if I wanted to use sayang, I think I'll be bias.

      Hansem one will sure get, "Sayang, how are you today?"

      Non-hansem, "How are you?" Short and sweet.

    I have been trying to comment on this post but unsuccessful. Haiya, I remember faces better than names. So when someone familiar address me and I forgot their name, I will say, "You are Who ar?" hahaha, then they will say who they are. I guess they will give slack to an old lady like me! hehe
