Friday - 29th April Fraternity

I thought the word fraternize is so sinful. It sounds sooo.... vulgar. dont u think?

Well i've never been to any of our fraternity except for that day at Sentosa, even then i stayed for only 1hr (out of 4hr) and also only bcos i had bought something (shepherd's pie) for them to try. Oh and another occasion was a friendly bowling tournament!!!Yup you guessed it, i only go for the free games!

When i first came in, i wasn't invited to their fraternity. Reason being it was held at the pub. The IC, Shannon (its a he), approached me to explain about our agency having fraternity every last friday of the month. "I would have asked you to come along but it's actually gonna be at a pub, so i dont think u wanna go right?" right. I suppose, since then i had a bad impression of "fraternity" where in Kamal's definition is to let down our hair and fraternize and be jolly. ERK

Wait a minute. M i scared of being in a crowd? I dont like to go to weddings.. i dont like to go to fraternities.. I think i need a psychologist to pinpoint the moment in my life where i began to hate such big occasions. to think that i used to be so active in SAFF and sch and stuff... im so diff today aye? Maybe there must have been something that happen during those times.... *ponder*

i'm going to hafta pause here for awhile and continue later about the real even as aforementioned. heheh time to work!

Is it just me or is it....

What is it with me and weddings?! I never managed to go to any of my friends' weddings at all!! Jangan cakap sedara nye wedding, lagi lahh tak pergi!

I never did go to Shaidah's nor Kak Noor's weddings.

I was so excited to go to TWO of my colleagues weddings which fell on the same day, 1st May 05, but backed out at the last minute. I took the opportunity of having to babysit Shirah as a lame excuse for me not to be able to go to their weddings. when i would have thrown tantrums before if i were to babysit her. and Jessie has passed me some money to pass to the brides! She even smsed me, "since you are the unreliable one, you have to inform them that Kamal and i aren't able to make it bcos of prior engagement and the presents will be given to them on wed when they come to work" Oh Gosh! M i unreliable in that sense?

The only weddings that i remember going were:
1. my aunty's wedding (my mum's sister from her mother's side) i was like less than 10 yrs old?
2. a relative-cum-neighbour's wedding. (we lived in the same block and they held the wedding at the void deck so unescapable) i was in sec 1.
3. kak Zakiah's (zihah's sister). Itu pon pasal that's our family's lunch. this just less than 2 yrs ago? (i really liked her wedding's setting! So peaceful, not too many pple. best!!!)
4. HIdayah - my colleague's wedding. a yr ago. I'd known her for about 6 months only then, but i even slept over at her place! Itu pon pasal macam sedih lah klw dia kahwin then not so many friends with her around. I wouldnt want that ah.
5. Kak Norzamaria's wedding. Itu pon pasal pergi dgn 'azma abih lepas tu nak jumpa Aisha Manap! LIke on the way lah gitu...

M i scared of weddings? weddingophobic. That's an interesting word. But I don't remember anything bad happen to any of those weddings that would have made me soooo afraid to go. Or do i feel incapable or less fortunate bcos i myself am not married yet?

But the thing is I had really wanted to go to the last two invitations. THe first one lagi kat woodlands jer! Then.. Suddenly i got overwhelmed by this malas feeling and the weather did not help much, it being a very hot sunny day and all. Nak kata pasal takde teman nak gi, my other colleagues were also going...

Julissa Julissa.. tak tau lah apa nak jadi dgn kau..

*I resolve to go to my friends' weddings from now on. Esp Nani's!*

Hitam manis hitam manis

Hmmm semlm balik mummy masak asam pedas. she used to cook asam pedas a lot when i was still in sch that i got sick of it and still am not enthusiastic about it. But last night's asam pedas was something else man! It taste not too sour and the sweetness is just nice to my taste. i put extra kuah on my rice until it seems like the tail of the ikan merah is swimming in my plate. and something that never missed in my asam pedas dish is kicap!!!

I was helping myself to second round of rice and was about to pour myself some kicap when my mum shouted, "Eh!!!!!! JANGAN AMIK KICAP DARI SITU LAH!!!!" in my heart i thought eh takkan nak amik kicap pon tak boleh? kan memang utk semorang. kwl takleh amik asal letak kat dapur which is accessible to everyone>? sikit2 pon nak marah. aku tak bersalah!!!

Mum : pergi amik yg kat dlm fridge. tak nampak ke ni kicap nye?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! the first bottle i took from got some white stuffs inside!! and its less than 1 month old! and i was totally oblivious to it before!!1 I cant imagine all those stuffs running into my throat and made puking noises aloud.

Mum: (jokingly) Eleh... action nak termuntah konon... tadi makan kurang main sedap lagi!

I suddenly got overwhelmed with guilt for thinking all those stuffs that split second earlier!

hehehhe

Oh my gosh!!!

Oh my gosh!!!

I cant believe its been like almost 3 months since i last wrote! Oh Lord! So many things have happened since then... ok not THAT many things happened. Its not like im alreayd married or what... But some major things happened at work.

on 28th Feb was Sharifah's last of work (strategic timing also considering its just after Chinese New Year and the hole Hong Bao escapade heheh no offense there).

Kat had been interviewing several candidates for that position but only got somebody on Sharifah's last day itself. even then, that lady (she's a tudung wearing 30yr old) came and talk to my boss Jessie and then suddenly she's gone! Well.. Jessie and Kat told us that they've sort of scared her into coming to work with us! hmm Perhaps... but another issue on hand was also about this 6 months contract ah. That lady didnt feel comfortable with the contract. She thought along the lines of "what if i cant adapt to this company. what if this company's so bad i wanna leave but cant?"

Since then i was standing in for the secretarial duties with some intention to actually submit my application to be the secretary of the agency. but then again, there are a lot of factors that i should consider:
1. Kamal has high expectation
2. He dumps work on us without specific or relatively specific instructions
3. There are still some improvements ive yet to achieve whilst in the employment of Jessie and Yong Phio

So while i got the experience of being a secretary, i was still a lowly paid personal admin asst.

two to three weeks after that Linda came and work with us. Her character is as similar as sharifah's. Soft spoken, not the daring sexy type and all. At least Kat had the intelligence to recruit a malay girl to become our secretary. this is so that communication would be very easy either way since all the other agency secretaries are malay.

Linda is married with a 2yr old son just started to work again since giving birth. She's eager to learn. However, i can understand that it would be a shock to her to take up that position bcos there's a whole lot of insurance products, terms and procedures that she would hafta pick up and FAST! on top of that, Kamal is always giving her pressure and all.

She told me that sometimes when she wakes up in the morning she feels like a bit scared to go to work. I told her i felt like that too the first 2 months of my working here. I cant wait to get familiar with all these things. And wa la~! I've celebrated by 1yr work anniversary on 25th Feb 05!

And then last week, her son has been vomitting and berak2ing. her 2 yr old son! can u imagine!? Well.. she didnt come to work for 3 days. and another day to to settle her HDB. but then, today she's not here too. Well I wish her all the best.

I gotta go now. my lunch time's finished. my boss is next to me!

Must remember to write about our fraternity last fri!

Bye for now.
