Finger crossed... that my wedding will happen next year?

Got a text message from a friend, ex-colleague yesterday. He was asking if I know anyone who might want to join his company as sales... the messages went (rephrased):

Friend: Know anyone in your company that might want to do sales? We are looking for non-bumi female.

Erm... asking me to tell my colleague to resign and join another company ah?

TTB: We only have one sales person in this company and she's the senior manager. Unless u want to employ me lah.

Friend: What about your sis? She's an engineer?

aiya, getting more difficult to answer, MUST be tactful.

TTB: Ya, she's material science engineer. Phd, section head. Interested? R u still with the same company btw?

Friend: I'm barking at the wrong tree isn't it? I'm now with xxx company. Catch up later...

TTB: Hehe... sorry, I'm so very unhelpful isn't it? Okay, catch up later and I can update u on my future plan.

Friend: Oh, something happening around the corner ya?

TTB: Finger crossed. Around the corner pun is dec next year lah.

Friend: U make it sound like u r jinxed... :) no sweat lah... things will turn out well for u.

mmm... is he thinking what I'm thinking??

TTB: I wonder what you think my plan is...

Friend: err... it's either marriage or business. I'm thinking the first one.

I knew it!

TTB: Haha... fortunately for "that guy", it's not a wedding.

Friend: I did just spoil your day didn't I.. :(

TTB: Wei, no lah. This is very entertaining.

Just now I was asked to join lunch by some visitor to the office....

TTB: I would love to, but I can't make it. Thank you.

Replied with my most sincere smile.

Visitor: Oh, you have arrangement with your husband?

TTB: Yeah!!

With the most "how did you guessed" surprised look.
