Long-winded

Dedicated this post to 2 long winded uncle and aunty I met in Labis. Although you two will not have the chance to read this, but your behaviour are recorded in a blog forever.

1)Asam Fish Restaurant
Xien Xien came over to Labis for a holiday break. I have been telling him a nice asam fish in town and wanted to bring him there for a try. Dad wasn't joining as he was attending a wedding dinner, so left only mum , xien and myself.
The restaurant was full and we waited for so long. While we were waiting, one of the owner (around sixty)walked by and sit at the next table behind us. He has dislocated his right arm and his shoulder was wrapped up with bandage. Being concern, mum asked him what had happended to him, he walked over and told us the incidence. Apparently, he was involved in an accident where he fell off the motorcycle and caused the dislocation of his right arm. He visited both chinese medical and general hospital , however both treatments didn't cure his injured arm, so he's still seeking for a remedy. Poor uncle. Then he began to elaborate how he seek for doctors, treatments, who recommend him doctor, who gave the contact numbers etc. Then again he repeats the incidents again! I 'm the first to turned my face away, then followed by my mum. Poor Xien Xien has to listen as he was the only one has eye contacts with the uncle. blah blah blah. Finally the food arrived, we have a reason to stop listening to him. Then he left. I told Xien that he was really patient, but he said his mind was blank while listening, haha, funny.

2) Laksa Noodle
This family who run their noodle business in thier house is one of my favourite eating spot. I have been eating it since secondary school. Xien accompanied me here to have a try on the wantan noodle. As we seated, a lady from our back keep looking at our direction, she is one of my secondary school mate mother. I saw her but I pretended I didn't, Xien Xien noticed it and asked me to say Hi. OK, after saying Hi she came over, sit besides us and asked questions. You know why I ignored her ? Because she is one of the ampifier in Labis and love to talk and long-winded. Oh dear, both of us regretted and to my dismay our food was sucks ! Not going to elaborate what she actually asked, those questions surrounded : where is your bf from, when do u two getting married, I seldom see you in Labis, and repeated for few times. Sigh, food was suck and people interrupted us during our meal.

So these are the highlight when I'm having holiday break in my hometown, nothing special happen but meet different people in small town. I don't blame them for talking too much , perhaps they just need a pair of listen ears, but not during my meal la!

8TV catch up TV

I am still awake at this wee hour. It is not because of I can't sleep but I am busy watching all the catch up show in 8tv.com. Thanks Belinda Chee(Quickie host) who actually attached the link of 8TV in her personal blog. I have found another thing that makes me follow instead of going to bed. I gonna yawn in the office later. I would like to recommend The Adjuster which is currently on air. It talks about how an adjuster does the background check before he approve the insurance compensation the beneficiary suppose to get. I started watching from episode 5, which Belinda acted. The story is interesting and I love it very much. Good job! Besides this drama, I am following I Wanna Be A Model 3.
Hooray, Friday is a public holiday and I will drive back to my hometown (Labis). Have checked with all the old friends but none of them plan to go home ?! I always picked the wrong time. Nevermind, should spend some quality time with parent over this weekend. Looks like the 3rd episode of IWBAM has finished downloaded, I shall continue watching it, good night.

Saya Sokong !

I remembered 2 days ago when I was boring working in the office, one of the brand team colleague "J"came over and shared me a story. He shared me his past experience with our former PM - Mahathir at MINDEF (Ministry of Defence) before he joined the current company.This is how the story goes.
He went to MINDEF with one of the BP to do a presentation. He wasn't the presenter, but to help to turn the power point slides and off the light when BP is presenting. He stood next to Mahathir, shoulder to shoulder. All the important ministers and Datuks attended this meeting, Rafidah Aziz , the former head of Wanita UMNO was there too.
It was really a long meeting ,but in the middle of the meeting, Mahathir suddenly looked around for somebody for help. He called J who was just next to him and whispered to him. J quickly ran out of the meeting room. Everyone in the room was curiously. Who is this guy ? Why is Mahathir talking to him ? While everyone was still wondering. J came back to the meeting room and nodded to Mahathir. Then through the mice, Mahathir said "Saya sokong!" to Rafizah.
J was actually nervous when he was called, but he stayed calm.
After the meeting, all the ministers and Datuks came to shake hand with J has they thought J hold an important position in the company where Mahathir will seek advice. J was proud to himself yet he is still acted humblely to all the ministers and Datuks who came to say hi. Everyone was puzzled but he still didn't tell them what Mahathir actually whispered to him.
Are you curious what M actually told J ? Me too, is he really that powerful ? Why he looks just another ordinary man in the office ?After begging J, he finally told me.
Mahathir actually said :" Young man, the air-con is too cold, can you please help to turn it down? " J ran out to the meeting room and asked the staff to turn the air-con down , then ran back to the room to report to him. Then only Mahathir able to made his decision to Rafidah. Haha, seems like only me know the secret. What an important role, if not decision cannot be made. Good job J, you have make my day!

Saturday Morning

What a wonderful morning, althought I am still dwell about what had happened yesterday, but I am going to my aunt house soon. Want to borrow The Twilight saga, really addicted to the novel, here I come. Ta.

Bugger

Well, let me tell you what had happened to me today. I came into the office late at 10.05am today. Then 10.15am I received an email from my manager . He has noticed me coming to office late than what he has expected . His email didn't sound angry but he started question me about my official working hours stated in my contract . OK, I knew who actually told him as he is the only one come early in the team beside the manager, and the email was sent immediately I open my notes. How angry when I was reading the email and I replied by saying my official working hours is from xxam -xxpm , and I will be punctual next week onwards. OK, know I know you are a back-stabber , I felt like I am under surveillance from time to time. That bugger keep pin point my faults and report to the manager without letting me know, what was his intention for doing this? I don't appreciate this kind of things happened to me as we work as a team ! I rather I was told face to face. Who else can I trust here as everyone seems nice to you but gossip and bitch about you behind you ? I admit that I didn't follow the house rules, but please do this with a good intention instead. Gosh, this is the real world, how frust I am.
