My little boss said that i shouldn't let my SV control my life..we had this discussion this afternoon about going overseas for conferences. I told her that i have filled up my quota for this year (i.e. one overseas trip only for work)and dare not plan for another because kena tanya permission SV. She asked me tak pernah ke i rasa cam nak pick my things up and slam the door behind me when i'm having a discussion with the SV. I said tak pernah le pulak sampai ke tahap tu but like other people i have my limits. Bila dah rasa bulu roma belakang tengkuk naik, telinga panas, and mata dah berpinar, that's the time to watch out. When that happens, kalau enemy depan mata sebesar gajah pun akan i redah je.
A few years back when i was an A-Levels student, during holidays, we would congregate in London because we had to vacate our boarding houses (mesti ko mencik students kan Esah) and the sponsors would put us up kat MsiaHall and kalau tak cukup, kat B&B. Some of us preferred to stay at the latter because takde warden..haha..some prefered MH because senang nak makan murah (walaupun customer servicenya lebih teruk dpd conductor bus mini). One Easter hol, i was placed in a B&B, and i got a room all to myself. Of course la, bilik bawah satu nama but penghuni lebih dari satu. I had a close friend who lived in the London area to stay with me. The B&B punya manager/owner was arab. You know la girls kan, bila jumpa mesti giggle2 tak hengat donia...around 10 that night the staff tefon bilik and asked us to keep the noise down, which we did. Pas tu, dia boleh datang naik ke atas ketuk bilik i and asked me to tell my 'gentleman' friend to go because dah nak kat kul 12 and visitors are only allowed until 12. Mmy friend menyorok dlm closet. I cakap mana ada visitor, let alone a guy..(wei..kalau ada alangkah bahagianya hidup ku masa tu berromantika kat tepi River Thames gitu).
There were other students staying there at the same time. esok pagi barula terdengar cite yg one of us bawak boiprennya ke bilik but he was not seen to leave the premise..ada CCTV ropenya. And mentang2 la i yg single room, i pulak yg kena tuduh. So, that was one of those rare times yg i rasa bulu roma i tegak etc. Dgn tanpa basuh muka, or tukar baju tidur (suka buat scene dlm baju tidur kan? But rest assured mine have always been the tomboyish pajama type and not cam Esah's Ann Summer's collections) i marched down to the office and gave the manager/owner/wife dia a piece of my mind. The guy yg sound kat i the night before takde but was replaced by this woman yg i rasa bininya. Dia asik astaghfirullah a few times bila i menceceh tu and at the same time apologising profusely. The visitor apparently left around 2am..we knew who the culprit was, one of our friends pun..later that afternoon i pi cakap kat dia kalau ye pun nak melawat gofren, perati2 sikit la CCTV kat pintu masuk tuuuuu..(apparently, the gofren pun bilik single but i got accused of simpan jantan i think because minah tu pakai tudung and i tak! Dapat pulak landlord arab yg berfikiran sempit tu....it didn't matter that yes i did keep a 'visitor' but not the kind they accused me of.
Ada lagi satu incident kat bank fofular kat SOGO..i have asked my credit card to be transferred to that particular branch from my hometown..sapa la pulak nak ambik cuti balik kampung weekdays just to collect CC kan? They said no problem, can do one. Sebulan pas tu i datang nak collect, the staff cakap, oooo..tak sampai lagi. Lat 2 bulan, dia org tak call2 lagi suh datang ambik, tapi annual fee semua dah kena bayar, even though batang hidung cc nya pun i tak nampak lg, banyak cantik! So pergi la i ke branch tu bertemankan BFF. Bila i tanya, ada tak card i, the staff kata takde, nanti dia call branch hometown i..terkedek2 la jugak masa tu nak call. Apalagi, i macam dah hilang pertimbangan..my BFF dah pi nyorok belakang ATM machine because she was blardy embarrassed. According to her i sounded sooooo like english lady sesat(that happened many years ago when lidah ni masih belum decemari sangat oleh tempoyak dan belacan). I cakap tak yah la nak bagi i CC dah because i dah fed up! That's it, i dah tak mo berurusan dgn diaorg lagi (ada sikit nyesalnya because their point redemption yg paling best). And lama jugak le i tak masuk that SOGO branch utk urusan perbankan yg lain.
Ok la enough merapu for one night..but before i sign off, i cuma nak cakap kat sini, i heran la bila baca sesetengah blog ni, baik jantan maupun tino. Selalu komplen berat dah naik, tembamlah, gemuklah..for crying out loud! Actually what do you guys want us to say? Yes, yg you all gemuk (a ah i can see that you've now put on 2grams from your anak dara days by looking at gambar kawin yg you tepek tu) atau pun, noooo..you still look gorgeous, tak gemuk lah (i lagi gemuk). Kalau dah 'self loathing' begitu sekali, tapi then tepek gambar sana sini, solo lagi....boley???

*terdiam - tutup mulut rapat2* Takuuutttt!
