Mar­malade Kitchen

It’s no good to make fun of peo­ple when they mis­pro­nounce things. It’s the bad Eng­lish karma, you know, where you end up mis­pro­nounc­ing some­thing the same way as the per­son you’ve made fun of.

I’m talk­ing about when peo­ple say, ‘that’s mean’, in this context:

This thing is very com­pli­cated. That’s mean I find it very dif­fi­cult to do”.

Get what I mean?

Yes? Well, then, that’s mean you are very clever.

Today, I was told to make a reser­va­tion at the Mar­malade Kitchen, so I laughed and said, ‘Mar­malade Pantry’ lah, before call­ing up Mar­malade Pantry and ask­ing if it was the Mar­malade Kitchen.

That’s mean I was laughed at right back.

    reminded me again of my expe­ri­ence in Paragon, Bangkok when a wait­ress responded “soli, citkhen is closed”. I laughed non-stop for min­utes, of course not in front of the tired lady.

    Mua­haha! Got to know this gal who makes the same mis­take… Every­time she says “that’s mean”, I got to do a quick assess­ment if she meant “that is mean”.
