Weird People!

These few weeks i have encountered a few funny scenarios, OK i won't say funny, perhaps weird. Yea, that's the word, WEIRD! Which at one point irritates me and makes me think and i don't really understand their intentions.

One morning, i got out of the house getting ready to go to work, started my car engine and this lady that is staying around my neighborhood greeted me. Well, she thought i was my mother you see. When she came nearer than she realize it wasn't my mother. She was like, 'Oh, i thought it was your mother' (Yea, most people got mix up between me and my mom. So i got kind of used to the confusion). 'You are a bit fatter than you mom' she said. I was like 'huh??!! first time you talking to me and you are calling me fat??!!! Wah, really unexpected lo. I was caught and flabergasted (i was thinking, don't need to remind me that i am fat lor, i know i am fat la. Tell me something that i don't know at least)

Anyway, she continued talking to me although she can see i started the car engine and opening my house gate and getting ready to jump into the car. She continued talking to me as if i am another auntie, taking my own time putting up the clothes and hanging out at the lawn and gossiping with the other auntie neighbors. She ask 'How come i never seen your mother? Your mother never comes out one is it? Reluctantly i answered her, My mom is sleeping and yea she seldom comes out of the house. She likes to stay in.

Then she continued
Lady: Oh, I am just staying around the corner here. Just moved in into the Jugjit's House. Just there only (pointing her fingers to the direction of her house)
Me: I see, I don't know them (Gave her a smile)
Lady: Ah??? You don't know the Jugjit ah? Stay there one (Pointing her finger again)
Me: (Force myself to look at the direction of her finger) Nope, don't know them.
Lady: Ahh??? You don't know your neighbors? You don't come out and mix around with your neighbors? It's good to come out and mix around and get to know your neighbors.
Me: (Gave her a forced grin) I work till late at night, so i don't have the time to come out and talk to other neighbors. OK, i need to go to work now. Bye!

This auntie is trying to teach me how to lead my life la. Which i find it annoying lor. !st of all after greeting me for the first time, she called me fat. Nevermind, i still layan her. Then comment on my mom not hanging out with the neighbors, which i feel is so unnecessary. After that, telling me that i should mix around with the neighbors.

Wah, my conclusion is, i am not a full-time housewife and i have no obligation to 'mix around' with the other neighbors and building any fellowship with them. Imagining me standing around with the group of aunties talking about their husbands and kids or even grandkids. Me talk about what? Little Joey(baby that my mom babysits) ah?

Sigh, just leave me alone and leave my life alone. Don't tell me what i should or should not do!

Another incident was over lunch with my colleagues. 4 of us went out for lunch, i mean naturally after makan we will have a short chat la. One of my colleague don't speak mandarin, so i find it kind of rude to be speaking in mandarin when someone doesn't understand it is sitting at the same table.

The other 2 of my colleagues was talking in mandarin about something. I mean naturally i will be listening to their conversation right. After one of them have finished talking, i didn't heard the last part of the conversation. So, naturally i asked, what did you say? I didn't get to hear the last part. My colleague looked at me and blink a few times and finally say 'Nothing!'

I was like..idiot! If it is something you don't want me to listen to, then why talk openly on an open table where anyone sitting around you can listen to your conversation. If it is a fucking secret, then move to another table and talk. It is already disrespectful to be speaking another language that one person sitting at the table does not understand. And when someone understands the language asking, you answered nothing!!!

I really don't like people like this. Made me feel like a dumbass lor!!! I just don't understand the whole situation. I don't know what her intentions are. Talking about something openly, but when someone ask you don't want to elaborate further. Make me feel like i am the busybody one lor.

Can anyone explain to me what's going on ah? I am so confused now lor? Shocked! Dumbfounded! Flabbergasted! Annoyed! Irritated! Angry! Agitated! I really don't know what i am feeling right now.

League Champion

My team have won the Trade League Champion!!!! Yes we have won!! We have proved that we can achieve no errors for a whole straight 3 months!! For that we are rewarded RM 1000 for the first 2 months and the 3rd month a big RM 5000. Yeah!!!!

Haha, presenting us with our big big trophy and of course, how can it be official without a mock cheque.

Look at the smiles on everyone face le... Can see the 'KA-CHING' symbols in their eyes. Haha!

The guys just can't get enough of the trophy.

Haha! Azian too wants a piece of the trophy.

Then it is decided to be placed in the middle of the cubicle where everyone can see it. Then the next argument arise on where the trophy should face. Haha!

Then we call for a meeting, not work matter la. Just discussing how we should spend the money! haha! All have decided to elect me to organize a lunch buffet. All i can think of the nearest Hotel is the Golden Horses! Next update will be on the Golden Horses!

Lunch at Buffalo

Last week, me and both of my colleagues went to this Cafe' around Sri Petaling for lunch. It is called Fusion Cafe' where they serve a fusion of East meets West food. Quite pricey i must say, but nevertheless the food is good. Their mushroom soup serve like Dome style with the crust on top, only RM8.90 which is quite reasonable compared to RM21.00 at Dome.After a good meal, we decided where we want to have lunch on the next few days, we end up deciding to try some western food at Sunway, Dataran Mentari recommended by one of my colleague Patrick's wife. It is called Buffalo Steakhouse.

How nice if every lunch time we go try something new, hehe. I had enough of the cafeteria food, for more than 3 years of working with my company, a month of food at the cafeteria is really killing me. I'm through with it, i want to go out and try something new. Mostly we take turn to drive. So this time Kenneth drove, so 4 of us hop into his Avanza.

When we arrived, we even saw a few more other cafes that we would come and try some other time. Haha, have not try Buffalo but we are already planning where to have our lunch the next time, we are some greedy people.

Once we get into the steakhouse, we chose the cushion seats, more comfortable ma. We really had a hard time deciding what to eat.

Kenneth and Patrick deciding on what to order.

Why? Because there are so many varieties and most importantly, the price is not expensive at all. The lunch set is even more reasonable. For a soup of the day, a main course, a dessert and a drink cost only RM12.00. Where else can you find a set lunch this reasonable.

One of my colleague, did not want her photo to be taken (Han Hui), decided to go for the Baked Seafood.

Yumm!!! Covered with cheese. Underneath is like various seafood -shrimp and fish all minced and topped of with cheese to bake. Guess what, it cost less than RM10.00. So damn fucking cheap right?

Patrick's choice is the Sambal Steak, quite unlikely right? Western food with Asian sauce. I guess this is the first time I've seen this in a menu. Most of the restaurant goes for the conventional black pepper, mushroom or herbs sauce. Sambal is definitely the first time I've seen in a menu.

The portion is quite huge ok! Steak drench in sambal sauce, according to Patrick, It's very unlikely people will think of this combination. But the fusion goes very well, two thumbs up from Patrick for this unusual combination. Guess how much it cost. It's only RM 23.90 leh. Cheap leh? No joke leh!

Kenneth's choice is the Corden Blue Steak. Mostly i've seen on menu is the Corden Blue Chicken, seriously Corden Blue Steak is the first time lo. I'm not sure if there are other restaurant that serve this, but for me this is the first.

Drooling already right? You can't believe the price for this meal, It's only RM 19.90 leh. Aiyo!!! where can get this price outside lah.. Steak le, No RM 30.00 don't even think of having steak. The generous amount of cheese oozing out between the steak..my God!!! Cheap Cheap Cheap!

Ah...now finally my choice for the day is definitely one of my favourite. Grilled Lamb Chop!! Most of the time when i order and lamb dish in Klang. I'll get very disappointed. It's either too tough or rubbery, or the portion is so little and not worth it for the price that you pay. Mostly is very thin slices that you find most of it are the fats or the bones. But look at this!!!

Look at how thick the Lamb Chops are!!! 3 thick and juicy piece of meat ok! All meat ok, and it's not rubbery or tough. Can just eat like this, no need sauce, it taste good just by itself. Sweet and juicy meat!! Haha!! You can't believe the price, It's only RM 18.90 OK!! Oh, i have to say this again- So damn fucking cheap lo!!

Ok, close your jaw and wipe your mouth. I will definitely go there again lor. this time anyone wants to join me? Hehe!!!

Ok la, enough about food. Kenneth can't wait to dig in already, hehe!!

Tata!!

Updates!

Just came back from Yum Cha not too long ago, my Cousin brother have been calling me for the past week to have a drink with him. I declined beccause it was too late and it was a weekday, but today, i can't say no again as he is quite persistent. So i gave in and join him for a drink at 11pm. Yup!! at 11pm and my dad was quite upset i have to go out that late again :)

Anyway, i don't want to dwell about what our whole conversation is about. But i just want to spend some time with him, we grow up together during our younger days and he is also one of my closest cousins. Don't want to lose him because of some issue we are facing you know. I don't want to make him think that i am avoiding him and i also want to be there to morally support him in whatever he is doing.

Kor, you know i will always be there for you, supporting you all the way. I know how hard you work and i can see that the result is finallly showing.

OK, enough of that. Tomorrow i will be joining my colleagues at BUFFALO at Sunway. It's a new place and we are going there to try. Will definitely take some picture, hehe! More Updates later!

P/S: Didn't know that i am updating so soon (**gasp**)

Fast???!!!

I've receive a sms from an old friend of mine, asking me to meet up. We have not met up for more than 3 years. The last we met is on our final days in college before our Graduation. Wow, It has been so long, so i was kind of excited, we used to hang out a lot during our college years and i used to overnight at her place for projects. Ahh, reminiscing the past, lovely times we had. Time flies now that i feel so old already, hehe.

We plan for a meet on one of the weekends for a lunch date. So i made appointment with Samantha to make her Saturday free. A few days before the date, i receive a sms from her again. she wrote 'Mel, i think we have to change our date time, let's make it a dinner instead of a lunch date. Is that OK with you?' So, i replied 'Why ah? suddenly change time? I thought we could meet up and after lunch can chit chat and jalan-jalan a bit la'. After a few mins she replied again 'Darling, I've forgotten that i am fasting. It's puasa month la, so i can only have dinner with you'.

Sigh, how can i forget that it is the Puasa month. She herself forgotten about it when we plan that date, Haha! So, we postponed our meeting till after the Raya. Just thought i share this funny conversation i had with my friend.

Just want to wish everyone 'Selamat Berpuasa'.

MIA

i know, it has been a very long time. Everytime when I'm out with Canna, she will push me to update my blog. I really procrastinate a lot, I'm just not in the 'mood' to blog about anything. Although there are so many things i want to share, but i can't just make myself to sit in front of my laptop and type away. I guess when you are not in the mood, the words just don't flow as smoothly as you want to.

A little update about myself after so long of being MIA, I'm still hanging on with my crappy job (it is getting a little bit more ridiculous these days). My cough is getting worst (attack of the bronchitis), not fully recovered from it. I just move the exercises bicycle to my room and nope, i did not lose any weight yet, i am still as fat as ever.

Been sending out my resumes, and logging on into my jobstreet account after abandoning it for more than 3 years. Need to also update my resume and further enhance it. I'm looking for a managerial position, which is impossible as i am lack of experience and product knowledge, but still want to try my luck la.

I guess, enough crap for this entry. Sigh, Don't know when only i will start drafting my next entry..hehe... Just have to wait and see la, no guarantee.
