Yes, but...

Yes, but... bla bla bla... dont you think that when ppl use this sentence too frequent shows that he/she is quite a Kiasu person? Well, i think so cos i am with this kind of person everyday.

Most of the time, when we talk about something... anything at all. Yes, but... bla bla bla... Hmm, not that i am complaining so much, but... hehehe, yes, i am complaining abit much about this guy lately, but... hahaha, sometimes i just keep quiet and let his "Yes, but..." ends the conversation...

Example of conversation? Well, i was sipping my coffee in the kitchen... and here goes...

Sg. Uncle: You know, after you get used to drink coffee down here, when you go home, you drink coffee down there is like drink water, no taste one.

Me: Noler, i still find that the "cham si ping" back in my place taste the same everytime i order at the coffee shop.

Sg. Uncle: No lah, different one. Coffee down here is stronger and more aroma. Not like down there, different one.

Me: How different?

Sg. Uncle: You know, down here coffee is better. If you are down there you want to drink good coffee can... if you go to starbucks or coffee bean la. Different one. I can taste that down there if i drink at coffee shop, taste like water one.

Me: Well, maybe different person have different taste. Some how i think its the same.

Sg. Uncle: Yes, but now you say only. You stay here longer then you will find its different one.

Me: I dont know, for me its not the same case.

Sg. Uncle: Yes, but later la, later you will find the different one la, like me when i go back, i brew my own coffee. Put more coffee powder then taste better a bit.

At this point of the conversation. I already "bo lak liao" if he say so... then, so it is.

Then...

Sg. Uncle: No meh, not different meh?

Now, just to keep the conversation short, i mean put a full stop...

Me: Yeah, maybe for you.

Full Stop!

I wonder, how can he know... or assumed that i am like him? Different ppl different taste bud ma. And everytime... not only coffee, anything... just about anything. He will just have to stress out that he is right. He got the point. Oklo, i let him win lo, i dont like to talk so much ma. But... Yeah, but... sometimes if i dont talk to him when he says so much, it just weird la. Its like i am trying to avoid him...

So, since we are colleague, give face abit la... just entertain him abit till he says the last "Yes, but..." lo, what to do....

Sigh!
