"DOUBLE U"

I've always prided myself because I take a point to pronounce things clearly and accurately. I'm a freak when it comes to my punctuations, my diction and my phonics. And clearly, I feel like a fool when this happened. When I realised that W might really well be my "Waterloo".

Bunster: Okay Maoster let's do our alphabet shall we?

A for apple, B for ball.... having alot of fun doing all the singing and actions until...

W for wink wink wink, X for xylephone, Y for Yo Yo and Z is for

Maoster shouts: Zoo!

Bunster and Maoster went Yeah!

Sounds like a happy ending doesn't it?

Aung: Can you say that again rabbit?

Bunster: What?

Aung: W - How did you pronounce it?

Bunster- (With that super huh you must be damn mistaken that I will say something wrong hao lian seh.... ) : DOUBT-U

Aung: Again?

Bunster ( with more humility now): ermmm DOUBT-U

Aung: It's DOUBLE U

Bunster: Is it? You sure? Not DOUBT-U?

Aung: U go watch Maoster Sesame Street lah. Tsk Tsk Tsk.

I asked Godma - who ermmm unfortunatly said similar pronounciation. It uplifted me a little to know that there is anther moron out there with that same impaired linguistic capabilities.

I asked Yiping - who said with much confidence as MSN could possibly deliver message : DOUBLE U ! Of cos I believed her she is after our top O'Levels student in 1994! Lucky for her megan, she did not have a mummy who taught her the wrong things and to think it was alphabets!

Sigh, if not for Maoster and his alphabets I would have gone into my grave thinking its really DOUBT-U!

Too ashamed now to face my PAP kindergarten now... or is it her who taught me DOUBT U? If so... PLEASE GO WATCH UR SESAME STREET HOR!

I need to go practice on my W (double U) now!
