  no...i dun like that even though the person calling is older than me...i am already an adult and still wanna make me feel like kid....fark off...nbccb....i even more offended esp. if that person is just merely one or two yrs older than me and yet take me as one generation younger than him....

  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.
