Sleepy driving conversations

Of late I have been reaching home from 9.30 - 10.00 pm everyday. Sometimes I wonder am I so sleepy that I'm hearing things or is my companion really saying these words during our drive back from office.

Case 1: (approx 9.30 pm)

Lady :That day I watch an old Chinese series where the girls plait their hair Yada yada yada.....
Me : Oh, you mean those series based on olden times in China where they work in the field for a living
Lady : yea yea, those days, the girls were all so pretty la...
Me : Haha, well those you saw on tv are actresses from this era anyway, goodness knows what the real olden days girls looksed like.
Lady : Huh? But this show is really very old already!
Me : Uh, so?
Lady : Isnt this series filmed in the past?
Me : Huh? What filmed in the past? Its probably filemed a few years ago I guess.
Lady : Ohhh, I thought they filmed them during their everyday lifes like 100 years ago or something
Me : (*sweat)Uh...I dont think they had colour video then. Besides, you can see quite clearly that they are all acting wut.
Lady : Oh but it looks so real la.
Me : -_- (Mentally banging my head agaisnt car window)

Case 2 : (9.50 pm )

Lady : Look at the lanterns hung up! They look so pretty at night
Me : Yea, every year they hang up the same lanterns
Lady : They are so bright ah?
Me : Uh yea, got electricity to power the bulb inside then sure bright la
Lady : Eh, they use electricity ar?
Me : Otherwsie how they get lighted up?
Lady : But I saw some that dont use electricity before !
Me : Uh, you mean glow in the dark ones? Or those using candle?
Lady : Hm, not using candle, but they shine brightly anyway. They look just like the ones we passed by
Me : Uh..ok.. (resumes driving)

Case 1: I think camera's were just invented then.

Case 2: ...That's really creepy. I don't think I wanna know how the lanterns worked. Perhaps the lantern time travelled from the future? :D

aiya...think outside the box lah

In this world u can use other method to light things up besides the candle and electricity.

Eng said...
