Of Late..

Filed Under me, life 

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..
