Mistaken identity: Pakis-pinne

Ask me about my new work.

It is not that new actually. Just that I got transferred from tanjong pagar to harbourfront or rather, pasir panjang to be exact, because my supervisor is on block leave and I am needed to assist a project here.

The first day I came, I was late by almost half an hour. Reached the busstop and had to walk pass a construction site, climb up a hill before I could reach the building. That’s not all. The building itself is very big consisting lobby A – D. Mine is located at lobby C thus, another long walk before I could reach the office at level 5. Luckily that is only for the first day because from the next day onwards, I can take the free shuttle bus.

So by the time I settled down at my new desk, it’s close to lunch time. The new office is way bigger than the one at tanjong pagar. It’s more like a multi racial kind hub because there are an equal number of Chinese, Indians, Malays and also other races. Hehe! I thought could at least go for lunch with the new colleagues but they were so busy so I stayed in and ate the sandwiches mother packed for me in the morning.

The first friend I made was the cleaner. She started conversing to me in English as she thought I was a Filipino. Yes, another person who thought I am a Filipino and that already sums up to more than a bunch of people who thought I really look like one. That doesn’t include people who thought I am a Pakistani. Oh, don’t get me started on that. I shall consider writing up a book or something on mistaken identity. Side track is very bad for me, y’know.

Now back to my story. The next friend I made was the T&O guy. He invited me for lunch but I had to give it a miss because I was already full after eating the sandwiches. As I’ve mentioned earlier, there are quite a number of Indians here so they converse in their own language whenever they talk to each other. This guy, he is macam hero hindustan. From his face to the way he looks at you and till the way he talks. Now that I am describing him, I realize he looks like Hritik Roshan! And if I heard correctly, his name is Abishek. Mind you, he doesn’t speak Tamil but Hindi! Tak dapat SRK, this guy also can la! I tak cerewet sgt bab2 ni. Hehehehehe!

Looking at the condition and environment of the new office, I think I can adapt to it faster than the previous one. Must not speak too soon because I’m afraid that I might screw everything. Still, I think this place is less stressful.

Take me as your wife

First and foremost, Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslims and to anyone celebrating!

Today in history, (which reminds me of on 22nd december... err... hahahah!) I am very proud of myself! No, everyone in this island yang sungguh kecik and aman dan damai should be proud of me! Really! Since my parents are not at home, i was tasked to do the daily chores today. I made bbie wake me up before he goes for solat but then he woke me up after he came back.. Okay jugak la tu.

The fever that I got yesterday was still running but I managed to cook the rice, heat up the dishes, boil some water, prepare a few drinks, cooked some eggs, tidy up the living room and rooms, hang the wet clothes outside and swept the floor. I did it all by myself! Mother must be so proud of myself that she wanna marry me off right now! So what if it is a small thing to you. In case you don't know, I am someone who cannot complete these tasks without help from anyone and by doing it alone and without any mistakes at all, I am very proud of myself okay! So that can be kept in my Achievements book of record. Wooohh!

So much for complaining that I know nuts about being a lady and all kan bbie. Now that I have done all these, ade tokoh jadi Ibu tak ni? Ahhh, itu tak penting! Yang penting I happy!

So now i'm left with ironing my clothes for later, cleanse the toilet here and there, dress up for Nenek's house and I'm all set to go! My Nenek already called up million times her cucu cucu yang the parents are not home asking us to come early. Worried that we might be so lonely and when she called me a couple of minutes ago, I told her i just finished doing the chores and need another bath, she went, "Wah Ija, kau kemas rumah?" Hahaha! Nenek I sungguh cute.com!

Whee! I am feeling very very happy because big achievement babe! Hahahaha! I know Anoi must be cursing me while reading this and she'll go, "Gila nye budak. Mati taknak.." Don't think I don't know babe. LOL!

Loner

Sadly to say, Kamal Yati and myself are spending our Hari Raya Aidiladha at home because our parents are out of town. Sungguh terbiar like that, but! we are enjoying it so much. Haha!

Mother and Bapak are out of town until Tomorrow or Tuesday. Still, i'm forced to go to Nenek's house cause i heard she's ordering lotsa foods for all her cucu yang 24 jam kebuluran.

If you look back at the two previous posts, i mentioned about the trailer recording my boys did for RIA. So here's the actual thing. Listen to it!

Tell me is it only me who thinks that Andy sound so professional in here? Dah jadi abg cool ah since birthday is nearing soon eh!
Rahman, i always smile whenever you open your mouth to talk because there's just something about the way you talk. This time, without fail, you make me smile again. Sumpah tk bedek, you sound so rilek nak gila in here! As quoted, "so flawless!"
Kamal! You, as usual, with your nonsense wooooooh. Sungguh tak perlu eh! Panggil meowmeow nye tatak baru tau. LOL!
Bbie, your voice eh, i pun don't know what to comment. You sound very the tak kuasa, you know!

Still, good job boys!

Something we all look up to

If I were to mention the word family, what is the first thing that will come to your mind? It would be love for most of you. Others would be happiness. But for me, it would be bonding. That is the most important factor needed in a family. Bonding comes with love, care and concern towards each other. It actually moulds you into the person you are now. It accounts your confidence level, determination, perseverance and personality. Then again, at the end of the day, it depends on you as an individual. Whether you want to make it or break it. Oh, you know what I mean.

I love seeing the bonds between families and how close they are. Sadly, I don’t get that since young. I have to admit that I do get jealous every time I see the strong bonds in a family. When I was a kid, my father didn’t spend much time with us but I don’t blame him for that because I understand he was the soul breadwinner. The next person I’m close to would be my mother. She takes care of me the whole time and sometimes I feel like she’s both my mother and father. As I grew up, my mother started working and the more we don’t spend time with each other. That’s how my family is. We don’t spend time together and the only exception would be special occasion like Hari Raya.

Even with that, I am blessed to have my cousins who showered me with so much love and with them that I see the bond in us. Even some are jealous of us.

But on Thursday, I finally felt it. The bond of a family, so close to the heart. Not only with the cousins around but with the presence of adults. I am so elated just thinking about it! It was Maman’s mama’s birthday and she wanted all of us to be there celebrating with her. Since it was a weekday, everyone rushed from work. Or was it only me because the rest ended work early? That’s not the point. The point is everyone was there. Maman’s family, Bbie’s family. Anoi, Kamal, Andy and I were there. Each and every one of us was there. I could feel the warmth and love, literally. No kidding.

Suddenly, I was smiling the whole time and in my mind, I was thanking Allah and everyone for allowing me to feel the bond, even once. Up till now, I am very contented with the fact that I was given the chance to feel the strong bond in a family. Very contented. Syukur! Now I know that no matter what happens, I know that they will be there for me. So now I see a bigger family, eh? Of course I won’t forget my own family because this is just the beginning and I’m sure we will be closer than this, okay mak? Insya’allah.

Warning! Very brief!

Again again again! Work has not only taken too much of my time but my mind too! This is so frustrating!

Thankfully, I have my lovely cousins who could see how stressful I’ve been and how shagged I looked every single day so they decided to bring me out to the cheerful and colourful world during the weekends.

The initial plan was to head town and catch a movie but bbie was so busy with his activities that the cousins and some of her friends walked over to plaza singapura. By then, we changed our mind to something more adventurous and exciting. Walked over town area, played the tourists game, explored and discovered some interesting places and end the day with a knowledgeable trip to the museum.

I suggest that all of you go visit the Museum because you can see the different types of displays that are put up there. Very inspiring, yknow! We did learn a lot of new things and yes, we enjoyed ourselves!

Despite the long hours of walk, I think the company did an excellent job in lifting my spirit. Not only that, the best scene that happened was when bbie met the whole family and someone was super duper friendly…

Anyway, I think you guys should hear the short recording at for RIA’s 18th birthday. They did an excellent job and I am very proud of my boys! Good job Andy, Pendek, Rahman and Kamal!

P.S: Brief entry! Bbie dah bising cos I told him i'm going to the toilet. Bah!
