Original != Upgrading

Last nite while waiting for Francis to pay for the bread at JJ, Afred and I were sitting at a bench outside the bread shop.

Alfred: Original... Ori..ginal!!
Me: What Original? Where is the word original? (I was searching around for the word)
Alfred: Neh... (pointing at the renovation-in-progress wall)
Me: ......... Where got? I can't find any original word leh.... Luan luan jiang...
Alfred: (he ignored me) original.... original... ori....ginal!

Suddenly a young guy sitting at another bench near to us spoke...
Young guy: Didi, that is not original, there written Upgrading....
Alfred: (look at me and look at him, stare a while with paisei face) ....
Young guy: I teach you to pronounce, Up...gra...ding....
Alfred: ..... (hide his head at my stomach) =.=

Then Francis came and we left. I told Francis the story and both of us laughed.
Me: Gor gor teach you that word should be Upgrading, not original.... are you trying to cheat someone don't know english? hahahhaha.....
Alfred: Original... original... original... original.... (he purposely repeated the word and curi-curi smiled there, kek dao!)
