Some background information: We rarely had the opportunity to mingle and socialize with people from other units even though we're on the same department and same floor, separated just by our cubicles. Each unit will pretty much work and socialize just among themselves. Pantry is one place where we socialize or tries to socialize with people from other units.
Cast: Blunderer (you just have to accept this as a word) and yours truly.
Blunder Bangang 1
Blunderer: Bila balik Penang?
Me: Bila plak I jadi orang Penang?
(I immediately feel like I don't want to talk to her. How typical and she probably thought she has make the most brilliant deduction ever.)

Blunder Bangang 2
Blunderer: Balik mana raya?
Me: Dekat sini jer. Family kat sini.
Blunderer: Dua-dua family kat sini ker?
(It took me a while to digest what she meant. Ohhh... 'dua-dua' is referring to my non-existent spouse. Luckily someone else interrupted our conversation and I just leave the question unanswered even after the interruption ends.)

Lessons learnt: Never assume anything and make yourself look stupid and annoys other people.
Extra remarks: Luckily I was not fasting or else my 'pahala' would shrink to the level of non-existence with all the thoughts about her going through my head.
