The family man

Today, I reached office at 10.20 a.m.

Yes ,I was late but I was already awake at 6.30 am. I got dress and I was on my way to work from Port Dickson to K.L

Yes, I repeat, from Port Dickson

My dad works in Damansara, together with his 2 fellow colleagues who also were transfer to KL,

They carpool, and they travel everyday, from and to work.

"Port Dickson – Kuala Lumpur – Port Dickson"

I went bac to my hometown last night because I missed my family since previous week I was not back and kindda miss my siblings laughter and craziness..

Anyway, that’s not my point, my points is actually, that these 3 jokers I were with are willing to travel to work everyday, everyday,

I left for port dickson yesterday at 7pm from work and arrange to meet with my dad in central, i arrived bac home at 9.00 because of the jam at Sungai besi, and all major roads...

Even being a passenger in the car, I already felt the pain in my bac, and even lethargy…and a bit bored...because uncle jokes are really weird and i dun get it, their joke is not even funny!!!and if I have to do this everyday I really can die. I dun mind traveling for holidays, but traveling to work for this would really means crazy!

After, I reached home, my mum was surprised of course, but I wasn’t, I felt lousy and tired and hungry too… after I freshen up and filled up my stomach , I realized that it was already 10.30 and my dad was ready for bed.

Amidst the tiredness, he was lazing at the hall to see whats up with all of us, i saw that my dad was satisfied to be at a place he call home, he was happy to be the family man even as he lies at the hall settee , controlling his remote, chatting wid my mum and hugging my youngest sister at his side.

I knew he was tired even as he was talking to my mum, he already yawned 3 times and even took a few second to smell my sister hair everytime he does that, he was not concentrating at the telly too…..all I knew that the family man jus need a little attention and break from the days work.

I’ll bet that his two colleague were also glad to be at home even as they go bac and see their children, or feed their dog and love their wife,

it’s good to know that despite they need to travel thru and forth everyday like a mad man, the sacrifices that they make are actually worth it, because the family man yearns to see their loved one waiting for them at home to repeat the routine they do again and again….every day!

When your colleague ogle over what u wear…

I usually dress up for work pretty well, I’m not trying to be pompous here, but ever since when I was young, I will not wear the usual clothes that kids my age suppose to wear,

When I was a kid, I will wear really nice dresses and matching shoes because my mum would dress me up , and being the first child, everything you have pretty and is brand new!

Teenage, people were dying to try out their first levis jeans, but I didn’t grow much and being 4feet nine in high school, wearing jeans didn’t help much..

I was more in mini skirts and short pants, (it actually makes u looks taller) and boys my age were ogle at what I wear,

(maybe that’s why I dun have much girlfriend)…….

Call me weird, or wired, but it basically represents me!!!

I usually dun quite bother how I wear, because everyday I would dress myself with pride,

Matching accessories , shoes!

But today, I take a look at myself for 5 seconds to see what my colleague were looking forward everyday,

I know guys can be pervert, but pervert with extraordinary imagination is one hell of a pervert guy!

Today, as I was putting on make-up and final touch to my hair,

I took a side turn to see my curves,

Yes, the pants is a little tight,

And the top is a little low,

And the jacket buttons is place jus a little above the cutting of the top that I wore which gives little imagination to what guys think,

Ok!!

It is a little provoking,

My clothes were not designed to provoke,

It’s design to show a little feminine touch, a little frills, some lace , some beads, some ribbons, some of every little thing that a girl would like to have.

I hate clothes which give horizontal line all the way down and look like a tomboy suit,

If it has to be collar, then the collar will have some tiny petals with embroidery,

If it has to be trousers, then it would show some curve,

If it has to be a top, then it must have some frills and beads,

And if it has to be a skirt, it has to have lace,

I think my point is pretty clear,

I tone down my outfit today with a jacket because the last time I saw my colleague, he actually took a photo of me! And he actually remembered clothes I wear for the past weeks!

And for your info, this person is way way older than me, call it admiration?? but I call it sick!

its not like high school where u can go over and say:

"hey, stop taking my picture or i'll let your parents know or teachers know"

you can't be going over to yr colleague and said" HEY , STOP TAKING MY PICTURE OR I LET MY BOSS KNOW, OR YOUR GF KNOW"

what kind of normal people will say that?

if you were me, what would you do and not to make it too awkward??

Miscommunication

I think communication is the core factor during work.

So many weird things had been happening today
First it was lunch.
There is 2 very famous curry fish head in my working area
Since my panel lawyer had been eating at “Peters” so we told her that we change places.

She agreed and so did few of my colleagues. we told her that we opt for the other shop instead of Peters. Lawyer and another friend will be a little late. So we’ll go first..

We ( me and the other 2)were there at 1.15 pm and thinking that we were early, we ordered food and waited

And waited….

And waited….

Then I called her and lawyer had told me she was there ,

0.O

“I dun see you”..thinking perhaps that there were too many people, I stood up and asked if she saw me. She too stood up and asked if I saw her

“NO”..period. was our reply…

I found out that there was another curry fish head around the corner besides the one that we mentioned… thank god they only ordered drink.. so they walk over to joined us..

it was funny when we shared about it....

….miscommunication …... >_<

Later at 3, there was a walk in client. I was busy so I told one my agent to handle as the client as the client was looking for area which my agent is familiar with

Turn out to be the client had wrongly walked in, they supposed to walk in to the developer next door to see the newly launched apartment.

What’s worse, my agent has wrongly converse the client message and after sitting about 30mins.. then they realize they have been to the wrong office…

Hello…can somebody tell me what’s goin on here?

I’m having Monday Blues…..

Its already 8.30 am, my alarm rang 30 minutes ago, and I snooze it 3 times.

I refuse to get out of bed,

I slept late last night,

It was cozy sleeping under the sheet,

It was still cloudy,

It was raining outside,

A few more minutes then I’ll be up

( I keep saying that few 15 mins ago when it was 8.00 am)

I knew I need to wake up,

But my body heavily sticks between the blankets and the sheets,

Finally, I drag myself at 8.35 a.m

I knew I was late to work already

I also knew what clothes I need to wear,

But I was blur,

Despite the freezing cold water used to cleanse my face,

I was still in “blur” mode,

I put on my clothes and make-up,

and was ready by 9.00 am flat.

And when I was heading out to work, it was still drizzling,

I was yearning for a cup of the local the tarik outside my house,

You see, I’m trying to quit coffee now, n I try to drink less caffeine,

So tea substitute with coffee is al rite aite?

I reached work at 10.30,

It was late,

I’m not up to my routine yet,

The meeting bout to start in another hour,

I’m suppose to get prepared,

I refuse to. Because it is a Monday

Not to mentioned that the blogger.com is so freaking slow,

Plus,

Its has started to rain now!

I’m beginning to miss my bed

I wanna go home

Monday sucks bad!

I hate to work on Monday!

it almost time, i'm goin home....

caffeine Fix

You are addicted to caffeine when you need to have at least one cup to start your day. Not to mention that drinking coffee keep your adrenaline rushing, it helps to speed things off at work. seriously!!

Things is turning out worse for me especially when the Kopitiam is newly opened downstairs at the corner. It’s jus a roll away and I find myself ridiculously loafing around caffeine land for a quick fix.

Someone, help me!! Please….

A stupid question to ask…

Yesterday was a hell of a day, it was a handover of keys to the tenant and there was this stupid agent from another company representing his client.

His client was more fussy than the diva Jeniffer Lopez even before he moved in and this agent is literally encouraging him.

Okay, so the handover was not an ordinary handover; it was a fully furnished premises with over the top electrical appliances. My duty was jus to make sure that my inventory is complete and working in good order when I handover the premises to the tenant to avoid any future misunderstanding.

So I was saying, this stupid agent la, I’ll call him “ S”, he was representing the client and we went through a check list to make sure that everything was working in order. He was not only late for an hour but he wore a HUGE genie earring on his left ear, what kind of agent wears earring during work?

I told him that I already ran through the inventory myself while waiting for him but HE INSISTED that we go through together AGAIN!!

He had a negative attitude and everything that he touches he will say “lousy” or “spoilt” despite that everything is working in good condition

Scenario 1 (guest Bathroom)

S” : (turns on the shower to check the heater), owh, the water heater spoil

NO water!

Me : its not spoilt, there is a main tap, turn it

(there was water coming from the shower; but there was no heater)

“S” : No use, the heater NOT WORKING..

Me : (points at ELCB button) , I think you can try pushing that button upwards!!

( well, what I wanted to say actually was: For the Love of God, dun ya ever use the god dam water heater before)..well I DIDN’T

“S” : (SHOW OFF f*CKIN Face) , STILL, THE WATER PRESSURE VERY SMALL..LOUSY WATER PRESSURE

I feel like kickin him at his balls right that time…..

(OMG, is this his house? He is jus representing the client, he shud jus shut up and make sure that everything is working in order so that his client wont demand because it will jus delay everything)

Scenario 2 (Bedroom 3)

“S” : (opens up wardrobe cupboard ; and the hinge snap), owh, the hinge is spoilt, Eunice you see! (points at hinge)

Me : its not spoilt, its jus LOOSE, will ask “R” (contractor) to fixed it

“S” : No you see (points directly at the hinge, that is in “L” shape)

Me : ( I stretch the hinge so to show him that it was working), it can be fixed ok?.. (sounds sarcastic)

“S” : OWH, you see, nows..adays…no body use open/close door, all is sliding door.

Me : yeah , NOWS ADAYS..!!!..... ( WHAT THE HECK IS NOW ZA DAYS?)

After everything was completed, Agent S asked his client the most stupid question:

“ so, anything that you not happy about??”

Good gracious; there are so many other question to put and he have to ask that IDIOT QUESTION,

He could have ask:

So far are so good rite, if there is anything lack, we hope to rectify it for you OR;

Is there anything that you wish to bring up?

NOOOO.........he didnt, he have to ask him the blardy question.....

His client is already a fussy pot and he is asking him what other tonnes of stuff he is unhappy with, Hello, if you want to close the deal, ask the right question not ask stupid question…

I was pissed off, literally....but I could not leave as well, I told STUPID agent that I’m off for another appointment and everything that we have mentioned in the appointment letter will be made DONE.

Others request will not be entertained and if his client wants anything more than we had discussed; it shall be up to the owner..

After that, I went off…..

Sometimes people can have years of experience working but also years of experience repeating the same mistakes. From what I see, he could be a very experience agent but it all has fails because he does not know how to ask the right question.

In life, we can have years of experience working but we can also repeat the same thing every year. It’s okay to make mistakes but not repeated mistakes.

The most unbearable day!

Sowee for the lack of update.....

I’ve been out from office these few weeks and have met several horny, men clients that would like to invest their $$ in Malaysia. The way they talk , its like those MAFIA that you watch in movie. They give the budget and you give what they…want...(edited)

Seriously, what they want is not impossible but investor ( from ali baba land) always expect that Malaysia is some sort of cheap labour country and all the materials they want rather high end.

Did I get the business..?…H-E-C-K NO!... even with another million, its impossible, unless all the materials comes from China and these oil bastard dun mind changing it every year!

Well, the worst was not that but the site visit in Puchong for a very well know developer constructing a double storey link house which cost something like RM 780,XXX.00.

The past few week had not been easy. Imagine walking in heels, wearing jacket and skirt, to lose the jacket would mean baring my skin and tat would totally be bitching. To lose the heels would mean bare foot..in this hot weather? I dun think so… to lose the skirt??? Well , that would be a great idea…NOT!

The weather? Yeah it was nasty, more than 37 degree and the heat was melting my skin away.

To make matter worse, there was no proper route to the showhouse, WALK or DIE in the sun. and upon arriving, there was NO WATER to drink. What kind of showhouse does not provide water or free drinks?

C’mon people, purchaser is buying a property more than half a million and you can’t even provide water?

it was a bad day… Need I say more… ??
