Conversation Tool

It is funny how some things can become a conversation starter. Like a piece of clothing, having the latest gadget hairstyle... blah blah blah... how about a $50 note??

Darling picked me up from tuition today coz lazeee me cldnt b bothered to go home and get the car (and anyways the tank was close to empty... AGAIN!!!) and as I havn't had dinner and he only ate a bit, decided to grab a bite @ the Circuit Road food centre next to MacPherson CC. We didnt have very much choices as there were mostly vegetarian stalls down there and we didn't exactly wana eat vegetarian. Anyways in the midst of my meal, passed Darling the old $50 note he wanted and he conveniently put it on the table as he didn't bring his wallet down. We were chatting away when I noticed the drinks stall uncle eyeing something on our table and I thought he was looking @ Darling's phone or something. Then he picked up his spectacles and walked even closer to our table..
Uncle: "那个是旧的50块啊？”
Dar: “是啊。。。”
Uncle:“哇！现在很难看到这种50块了hor。。。”
Dar: “A nor... (pointing to me) 她在银行做工，人家进钱给的。。。”
Uncle: “Orrhh... 难怪啦。。。”
Me: “Uncle, 你要吗？”
Uncle: “我跟你换50对50就ok。。。”(laughs)
Afterwhich we didnt answer coz uncle went to sit down liao. We continued to chat and then this cleaner lady came up to us with the same exclaimation and roughly the same story goes. But this lady is v cute, when she heard that I work in a bank, she actually asked me to keep a lookout for the $50 bird and ship series for her and left her contact number with me so that I can call her if I have it!!! And she insisted that she would treat me to coffee when I come and pass her the money heh heh. Now I am worried that I don't have enought of these to circulate around as Dar and his best fren also ask me to keep a lookout for them... *frets*

Btw, have any of u seen the orchid series before?? It is a wonder that some pp still have these notes!!! They muz be when I was just born coz I can only remember the bird and ship series...
