Bee Hoon

Well, i know it's bad to laugh about people name, but this is something i would like to share. Recently i made a call to one of the administrative office and they referred me to a lady called Bee Hoon. She even spelled out the name for me.

Since the incident, i kept thinking of her name, Bee Hoon. When i told my colleagues, their first response was, 'where is Cha Kwue Tiau..... ?'

Afterwards, we were started to think what would her chinese name be while her han yu bin yin is Bee Hoon. So we came up a few names as Mi Fen (real bee hoon), Mei Fen, Mei Hun, and etc... We suddenly just stopped as it got worse......

This lead me to think a scene that she would have made if she went to food court or hawker center to order a Bee Hoon.

The scene might be as follow:

Food court while uncle was busy taking order at the same time frying his wok
Uncle: "What would you like, miss? Please leave your name as well."
Bee Hoon (BH): "Uncle, i want one plate of $3 bee hoon and i'm Bee Hoon."
Without paying full attention, the uncle reacted
Uncle: Miss what's your name?
BH: Bee Hoon
Uncle started to arkle and agitate
Uncle: Miss, your name please
BH: Bee Hoon
Uncle: Miss, i ask your name not your order lah
BH: Bee Hoon
Unlce: Miss, are you kidding me? Don't play play here, i have lots of order to take, do you know it's lunch time hour now? (started to screammm......)
BH: Uncle, i ordered bee hoon and my name is BEE HOON.

Then my friend cut it off as, do you think it's a Starbucks or Coffee Bean where you actually left name for your orders. This is hawker center. hahahahaah.... isnt' it hillarious?

Well this thing did happened to my friend whose name is Li Li where she has problem to give her first name and last name.

Once, when i was OT at the office and called for takeaways. I told the waiter i would like Sin Mi (SG Bee Hoon) as written in the menu. The waiter replied: What? Sin Mi, we don't have it wat is sin mi? I have to reply that is in your menu it is written as Sin Mi, to which i think is SG Bee Hoon..... ckckck....
