Shorty and I are big fans of Les Miserables now. Listening to the soundtrack every day. Here’s one of our favourite songs that will be relevant to this post.
Walking in Bangkok airport to our flight back to KL
Me: *sings* Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of Short people!
Shorty: HEY!
Me: HAHA!
Shorty: What’s a song of Short people?
Me: Hmmm…
Shorty: OH I KNOW … *sings* It’s a small world after all… It’s a small world after all *sings*.
Me: HAHA this stupid Shorty.

Shorty: Good idea!
*5 minutes later.
Shorty: You want some?
Me: YUM! Bends over to slurp noodles.
After I chew finish.
Me: Don’t pretend that I didn’t realize what you were doing.
Shorty: What what?
Me: You la controlling the fork! At first you helping scoop noodles into my mouth. Then when I began to slurp more and more you started pushing down the noodles instead of pushing it up into my mouth. SO GREEDY THIS GIRL DOWAN SHARE FOOD!

Crawling into bed about to fall asleep one night
Shorty: *jumps into bed* WOW YOU FARTED AH!

Shorty has been wearing glasses all week long because she has to rest her eyes before she goes for her LASIK next week. Today though she completely let herself go. She wore glasses, absolutely no make-up and some t-shirt that’s so faded it looks like it was bought in a night market ten years ago.
In Publika during the day.
Me: Eh Shorty you wear like that, what if one of your readers sees you.
Shorty: I’m just going to deny it. It’ll be like… “Excuse me are you Fourfeetnine?” “NO!”. “And that fat one next to me is Mimothy”.
Me: Why don’t you just call me Dimothy. Or Dim for short.
Shorty: HAHAHAH!!!
Later in the day in Pavilion.
Me: Wah this Shorty very brave huh. Come to Pavilion with me wearing like this.
Shorty: Haha what what?
Me: You really let yourself go today huh Shorty.
Shorty: HAHA!
Me: What if someone recognizes you and goes… “WAH FOURFEETNINE IN REAL LIFE DAMN UGLY LOR”
Shorty: Won’t happen wan lah… nobody will be able to recognize me in these glasses.
Me: Okay if you say so.
An hour later we were walking to the car park elevator to get into our car and leave Pavilion.
Stranger: HI AUDREY !!! HI TIMOTHY!!! (I assume she reads one of our blogs)
Me: Oh Hi!
Shorty: Oh hi…. *mumbles* dammit!
Stranger: I thought I recognized you guys. I saw Audrey from behind and recognize her hair colour then I saw you.
Shorty: *mumbles* why?? why??? *looks away*
Me: Haha Shorty was hoping nobody would recognize her today because she didn’t wear anything today.
Stranger: Aww too bad!
Me: Well ok we’re getting into the lift now. See ya!!
Stranger: BYE!!! Nice to meet you guys!
Elevator door closes with Shorty and me inside it.
Shorty: *bangs head on wall* So close…. so close!
Me: HAHA!!!
