For a very dear friend of mine that luckily appreciates my quirky, silly and coy jokes. This is how our conversation will go...
Frend "Why a Tea Cosy when I dont drink tea and Singapore is sooo hot and humid, hot drinks seem forever so hot! People hide in air-conditioned shopping malls to beat the heat"
Me "Huh?! Objection.....Dont say "dont" say "try", relax sit back for a day and slip tea! Anyway, I only know how to make Tea Cosy but I love to give you diamonds which i I can only afford fake ones and then you'll sue me for damages to get real ones!"
Both : "Sustained.....Hahaha"...
(sorry if you are still reading and bored to bits)
