Here's what happened today:
Me : I need to see the doctor. (with a serious tone)
Ms Argentina : Are you pregnant?
Me : *chuckles* What makes you think that? I dont even have a husband!
Ms A : Well, everyone else in the department is either pregnant or trying to have a baby. Besides, you dont need a husband. *smiles*
By now, we both laughed out loud.
Sometimes I forget I work in such an open culture.

Dear Ms Istanbul..
Glad to know that you had a fabulous Eid celebration.
Like Kak Ruby, mine was meaningful too.
Families together, and mini gahtering with friends.. making my Eid complete.
:)
ms istanbul, let me tell you another story - my daughter's friend was invited to a wine tasting session during ramadhan. She said, she couldnt paricipate as she is a Muslim And it was ramadhan. The host replied, "it is okay as you dont have to swallow it! " You'd think that after all these while, they' d understand islam and Muslims!
Fizzy dear,
Having a meaningful Eid is what matters. :-)
Kak Teh,
hahhaha... Luckily my colleagues never ask about drinking. Frankly, I get more respect here compare to our own country and fellow "muslims". Not once have they offered me to drink, whilst back home, MANY times, by fellow muslims. :(
ps: I just realise there are many pregnant ladies in the department, even the ones who just got back from maternity leave! No wonder the pregnancy Q. :D
