When I Feel Like Hiding Under The Table...

Aku dan PA Trump:
'Carneyz, appointment you ngan Dr. N next week ye? Dia tak free besok. I block Monday?'
>Scan organizer<
'Monday I on leave.'
'Tuesday?'
'OK. Morning or afternoon?'
'Afternoon you kan sit in discussion ngan Datuk & Datuk H?'
'Oh yeah... pukul 3.30pm ye?'
'A'ah. OK, I block 10am. Dr. N's office.'
'Sure.'
'Jangan lupa discussion Project A besok, 4 pm.'
'Pukul 4 ye? (scribble in organizer) Nanti I call dieorang.'

Aku & bos:
'Carneyz, I want you to go to JB next week. Tuesday.'
'Oh, but I am blocked the whole day.'
'Really? OK, make it Wednesday la.'
'In the meantime, try to submit that summary for corporate video's input by tomorrow. Datuk is anxious to see the storyboard any time soon.'
'Will do.'
'3 pm David will be in to discuss on this project. I want you to sit in.'
'OK.'
>bila gamaknya aku nak siapkan data tu untuk Trump padahal dier nak by Thursday. Gila, gila! Aku gila!!<

Aku & colleague:
'Carneyz, I email contact details publisher. Pastu department budget kat you.'
'Za, I rasa macam I pulak nak terberanak ni.'
'Takpelah. Take it as a challenge.'
'Apsal la u nak beranak time ni?' (dier just gelak2)
>challenge giler babas<

Aku & dia:
'Sayang, banyak betul keje. Tension la. Nasib baik ada sayang.'
'Ala, kesiannya sayang...'

P/S: Caiyok2x buat diri-sendiri...!

Over The Weekend

Trump recently remembered that he is coaching me in my MBA. He has given a parallel subject to what he gave me during my interview last time to research on and discuss tomorrow. In my panic, I have emailed Big Boss for help. After all, he is taking MBA elsewhere and he maybe has done this topic before.

On top of that, Trump dumped more things to read (on countries' competitiveness analysis, mind you) on my table with instructions to discuss this as well. And on top of that too, he has also clearly specified a book titled 'The World Is Flat' written by a Mr. Friedman who has successfully fried my brain over the weekend trying to cramp his analyses and of course, this too shall be discussed tomorrow. Horror. An essay, a 30-page document to read, and 275-page book to digest.

That didn't stop me to spend my Saturday shopping with my ex-roommate back when I was studying in UTM. We wandered around Masjid Jamek, fingering fabrics and sampling food. In our mind, we have a vision to start a business and we are testing the market first before we invest in it. At night, we went to fetch my CLK (cute little komputer) from Beloved, had dinner together, before hopping on my bike to go back to my friend's apartment where I spent the night.

You could say. It was an interesting weekend.

Note: Takziah buat Kak Noamee yang kehilangan anaknya, Adik Hilmi... Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas adik Hilmi. Al-Fatihah.

Cuti, Hari Ibu dan Sos Ikan

One of the best things happened in my company early this month.

We will no longer work 6 days a week! To substantiate those 4 hours (half day on Saturday), we will start work half an hour earlier every day:

5 working days x 1/2 hours x 2 = 9 hours in total to replace 4 hours on alternate week

Gee, why did I bother to calculate?

Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as I can have my Saturdays all to myself!

And, to give one of the most expensive gifts I've ever given to anybody, I have booked and purchased return tickets for my Mom to come here and celebrate Mother's Day! She's so excited to come here and her most anticipated tour is the tour around Masjid India Street

Why? Boleh shopping2x kain, tudung, brooch dsb.

Lastly, malam semalam as usual dia call utk borak2 ngan aku (klu jumpa, dia xde idea nak borak sbb dulu time aku masih kat JB, dah terbiasa ngorats dlm phone je):

Dia: Orang rasa nak gi makan lepas ni. Lapar la.

Aku: Kesiannya... gi la. Nak makan apa? Nasi goreng kampung lagi?

Dia: Hehe. Camne awak boleh tau?

Aku: Biasalah, tu aje awak makan. Masa kuar ngan Bib aritu, kiteorang gi kedai buku pastu saya nampak buku 'Resipi2 Gerai'. Resipi nasi goreng kampung pun ada --> aku yang tak reti buat nasi goreng kampung

Dia: Ha, best la camtu.

Aku: Salah satu ingredients dier guna sos ikan. Awak tau sos ikan tu camne?

Dia: Warna dier hitam ke?

Aku: Ya kot.

Dia: Bukan macam sos cili kan?

Aku: Erm...

Dia: Macam sos tiram? --> cam main teka-teki plak...

Aku: Orang rasa warna dia hitam, cair tak macam sos tiram kot.

Dia: Ok, pasni awak boleh masakkan untuk orang kan? Yeaah!

Aku: Oo... bukan ke awak cakap tu tugas orang lelaki? --> mengingatkan dia janji2 manis semasa meng'usha' aku dulu

Dia: Orang ada cakap ke? --> dah tak hepi

Aku: Adaa.... muahahaha!

P/S: Kalau bab 'direction' aku tak ingat, tapi bab janji2 manis ni boleh pulak simpan dalam permanent memory dalam CPU aku nih ;) hehe.

Kompas Aku yang Rosak

Dalam banyak2 kelemahan aku, yang paling ketara ialah 'kompas' aku yang rosak. Kalau dicampak ke MidValley dan disuruh keluar dalam 5 minit, aku kompem sesat. Tetiap kali gi rumah orang, walaupun dah beberapa kali solat kat sana, aku tetap tanya kat mana arah kiblat. Tapi yang paling kelakar ialah aku tak reti bagi direction jalan:

'Orang dah abis dinner. Orang tunggu depan hotel ni tau.'

'Hotel tu kat sebelah KLCC kan?'

'Err...' Menjengah2 ke sekeliling, 'tak, kot.'

'Abis tu?'

'Kat Jalan Sultan Ismail la.'

'Yalah. Apa bangunan sebelah dia?'

'Erm... tak tau. Tapi kat belakang tu ada Menara KL.'

'Dekat ke jauh?'

'Erm... tak tau. Tapi kat depan ada Menara Prudential. Pastu ada track LRT.'

'Putra ke Star?'

'Tak tau.'

'KLCC kat mana?'

'Tak de sini.' --> Perbualan nih dah agak kelakar tapi dia dan aku sama2 tak ketawa.

'Awak sumer tak tau camne orang nak amik?' Dia dah nak jadi Hulk.

'Orang lambat sket, carik awak.'

'OK.'

(letak tepon)

'Awak, awak ikut jalan yang kita biasa amik nak ke KLCC.'

'Banyak la...'

'Ala, jalan dari opis orang tu.'

'Lepas simpang traffic light tak?'

'A'ah... kot.'

'Hmm.'

'Straight aje, pastu ada signboard ada tiga nama jalan, pastu satu tu Menara KL, pastu kat depan tu awak u-turn. Pastu awak straight aje, orang kat taxi stand.'

'Huh?'

'Err... ok2x. Awak u-turn kat ada showroom keta...'

'Keta Merc tu?'

'A'ah.'

'Ok2x. Orang tau awak kat mana.'

Huhu...! Kalau korang jadi DIA, mesti korang kompius ngan direction yang aku kasi tu, kan? Muahaha! Sebab tu dia selalu cakap 'kompas' aku rosak. Dan aku pun mengakuinya! :p
