Of Late..

Filed Under me, life | 9 Comments

Today an ex-colleague asked me to describe a friend.

 Ex-col : Is she soft or aggressive?

Me : Hmmm.. she’s soft… *pondering for a second* She’s even softer than me! (thinking that I couldn’t be described as aggressive, could I?)

Ex-col : Hahahaha..
Ex-col : U r soft?! 
Ex-col : U r naughty! 

I was taken by surprised at that statement. It has been long since I have been described as that. I probably have, when I looked back at those years.

But now, I guess it has almost ceased in me.

Especially when I was trained to be detached and indifferent in the previous company.   

Thinking back, it has really been a dark & dull year. Like the hair; almost a disaster! >_<

However, very recently, I was labelled as pessimistic by someone when I failed to see the brighter side of a situation. I just couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel no matter how I squint. Probably a tiny spot; more to a hope than sight. 

Or to me, I am just being realistic. Oh well.. maybe there is really a pinch of pessimism as well. Especially when it comes in a situation which I do not have much control of. Or rather, the lack of experience. And tonnes of worries. As usual.

Not to mention that I am too serious sometimes. So he said. And I need to lighten up.  =.=”

But one thing has never changed, although I thought it has.

Last Sunday, when I was with my brother, standing outside a RHB bank with all the Easy Promotion; both of us trying to digest what are those campaign about.

A Malay promoter approached us and enthusiastically read all the campaigns to us.

Malay promoter : Easy Loan, Easy ASB, Easy.. so bang, yang mana you minat? 

Me : Easy ASB!

Malay promoter : Jom masuk. I explained.

We followed him to the counter and he took out the pamphlet and started to explain.

Me :  ASB nie apa? Amanah Saham Berhad?

Malay Promoter : Amanah Saham Bumiputra.

Me : Oh.. so yang ini untuk Bumiputra saja lar?

Malay Promoter : Tentu lar untuk Bumiputra saja..

Me : Tapi saya bukan Bumiputra lar..

Malay Promoter : Ehhh.. you bukan?!?! *speechless* macam tu TAK boleh lar.. 

Brother : Kita macam bumiputra ker?

Malay Promoter : Yalar, ingatkan Melayu tadi..

Is It End of Aug Yet?

Tired. Losing concentration. Slow. Unable to focus. Stress.

 That’s how I feel when I work additional 2 hours daily now.

I don’t know how my other colleagues, who put in longer hours, manage their concentration level.

Perhaps some of them take break in the middle. Or go for dinner. Or they simply have to do it.

But for me, when I have a lot of task on hand, I must finish them before I am able to take any break at all; the only break is toilet break.  

Which is probably why I feel so tired at the end of the day.

It even makes me lose my appetite for dinner. I would probably only take some bun/bread and/or a fruit for dinner. Hope I am not losing any of my precious weight.. Blush

However, it does help me falling asleep. I foresee little or none insomnia in this duration. ^.^  

On the other hand, I am having too many work-related-dreams in loop; which is quite frustrating.  

I hope this project ends smoothly; by end of this month.

Missing the days when the sky is still bright when I leave the office.  

Another 3 weeks to go.. *counting*
