If you’re out and about and you notice someone with earphones in their ears, singing, is Asian and short. Good chance it’s likely me. Fiddy fiddy chance you can say Hi and freak out a stranger or freak me out because of my anxiety. The choice is yours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I said hi to you do you have some sort of codeword you'll say back because I don't wanna make a dick of myself. Maybe something like LOLLIPOP.
If I say LOLLIPOP how would you respond so I know it’s THE CEOofmyhouse? Will you say it’s me CEOofmyhouse I’m making insert food choice for dinner tonight? Or being a Friday my hubby’s picking up take out?? I too don’t want to feel foolish 😅
My codeword would be PUDDING because that wouldn't seem weird at all.
You say PUDDING and my first thought is the show Supernatural 🤣
I've never seen it.
There’s a scene where one of the two brothers are in an mental hospital and Dean says pudding after dropping his pants to make he seem crazy (to fit in, they were there on a hunting monster case)
Haha. There you go. I'll say PUDDING but I won't drop me daks.
Perfect!
reply "thank goddess"
and make that the Standard Issue DT Secret Handshake
I was just about to suggest a secret handshake too - that one would be perfect
Wait what’s the secret DT handshake? I don’t know it. Does that make me a phoney? Am I really Goddess_Amaterasu or an imposter?!?! (No no it is me I promise)
we just invented it here. "Lollipop!" ~~"Thank goddess!"~~ "Pudding!"
Edit: Hadn't read the comments above yet. The reply is pudding
That makes it easy
I do that too but I use headphones. That's the way to tell us apart.
Us Asian all look the same…. Apple AirPods for me
blue sony headphones here
Singing in English though only canto song I know is Jacky Cheung Love You More Each Day learnt phonetically so likely singing it wrong

Most of his old song. Classics ones are great. It’s what made him so popular make in the days. One of the 4 kings (I think it was 4? Soooo long ago)
yeah four. You probably know this one too. One of my favourites.

The nostalgia is strong. Gonna go listen to a bunch of his old songs now
Not by the four but you probably know Hacken Lee's red sun too: https://open.spotify.com/track/5M8FXrTngqo69sLY55pffy?si=4c673116662b4a92
Omg I do know that song. So bloody catchy. I also remember Leon Lai singing that song and doing the little dance
