for my girl frens and my younger
colleagues at work, i usually call them 'girl'.. sounds more qing
qie.
maybe it has become a habit la..
coz during my schooling days, my jie meis also called each other
'girl' or short form of their names..i never call ple boy wan leh..
but for colleagues, no matter how much older are they, i usually
dun address them by 'uncle' or 'auntie' but rather, their
names.
i always call my dotter 'ger ger'
