I notice something very funny among us. We tend to do things redundantly but we still don’t realize about it.
One of it will be greeting when you meet your friends.
It’s like
Your friend is eating, and you walk pass him, see him eating, so you walk up and say

“Yo bro, eating,ah?”
“Er.. no, I’m eating a kitten now”

DUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Of course the friend is eating, blind ka??
This is the weird things that I’ve noticed since last time.
And surprisingly,
normal reply for that redundant question will be
“Ya lor.”
and follow with
“I see, I see”
Why can’t you choose other question??
something more straight forward, like “How’s your burger? nice or not?”
Instead of
“Eating burger ah??”
“Ya lor”
“I see, I see.How’s your burger? Nice or not?”
I don’t know about you but sometime I tend to sarcastically answer that question like just now.
“You eating a?”
“No la, I’m dancing?”
“You’re watching Ironman a?”
“No la, I’m watching porn now.”
“You’re going work a?”
“No la, I’m going for a swim”
“You’re playing balls a?”
“Ya lor, I’m playing with my balls”
People say that we’re in conscious stage when asking the question. It’s more like a polite way to greet a person. Or less aggressive way to approach people.
I don’t know but somehow I feel weird and funny la.
So
You’re reading my post, ah??
I see, I see. So how’s my post?? Nice or not?
