Yesterday, aku feeling sungguh hot dot com tau!

Cerita dia begini.

You know how The Straits Times has an additional paper section for every week day of the week right? Like say, every Wednesday, there's Digital and every Thursday there's Urban. Urban being fashion everything. It is usually very interesting and filled with juicy bits of what's in fashion and what's not.

So every Thursday morning, this Urban section will be missing from the whole pile of The Straits Times. And I know there's one particular colleague of mine who likes to kaup this section. I wouldn't have minded if she kaup-ed it at the end of the day when everyone else have already read the paper. But see, she likes to kidnap Urban first thing when she strolled into the office at the 'early' hour of 10.30 a.m.

It has been going on for several weeks and I got tired of telling her to not take it before the day ends so I marched to her desk and said "EH! Asal kau amik benda ni! Can let other people read first or not??"

She: "Eh I like ah!" Me: "Eh you like, you buy your own paper ah! This belongs to the office you know!" She: "Yah so what!" Me: "Eh sial ah! Kau sebijik macam aunty (pantry) siak! You do wrong, nobody dare scold. But when I scold, you don't wanna admit. Ni kau belum tua lagi seh, dah macam ginik!"

Eh abeh terus dia tak boleh terima lah! Pasal kan aku compare dia dengan pantry aunty... So she shouted "You take this paper away lah! Jangan nak menyebok kat sini!" - cos I was reading the paper by her desk. Me: "GLADLY!"

That was before lunch. I thought by lunch, the incident would have solved itself. I saw that she didn't have lunch so about 4 p.m., I asked her if she wanted to go down for tea break. I started with "Eh babe, wanna go...." ABEH KAN TERUS DIA TENGKING AKU LAH - "YOU GO AWAY!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU! YOU TAKE THIS PAPER AND PUT IT BACK OUTSIDE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AND THIS PAPER!!!!"

EH aper ni!!!

I was knocked out of my wits lah! Suddenly shout at me hor, macam kena possessed.

Wah wah wah!~ Aku tak boleh kena sound system DOLBY DIGITAL ni! Lagi-lagi kalau bukan salah aku. So aper lagi! Meh sini siap kau~

"EH! What the fuck you screaming for?? Why should I take this paper outside? YOU took it, YOU put it back outside! I took it from your desk, I put it back here! Please don't be childish ah eh... You're so much older than me but you behave like a kid! You don't have a right to scold people as you like, especially when you are in the wrong ok!"

But of course, she ignored me and walked away from her desk. And I followed her and said a final "What the FUCK siak. Grow up lah please!"

HAHHH kan aku dah main eff you see kay ni! Aku dah lama tak maki-hamun ni ha. Nasib baik I wasn't fasting yesterday, it being Thursday and all.

Eh the whole office heard eh! Macam two small kids quarelling about toys. Walhal padahal baru Urban. Gado pasal suratkhabar. Chet. We made it up somehow today. Phew.

I don't like tension in the office you know, especially when it happens with someone pretty close to me in the office. And especially when the next week will be my last at this current place.

Later today, I'll be going to Harry's for my farewell party of sorts, organised by some of my colleagues. Aku ni dah macam step minah-minah bar. Speaking of which, last Friday, I sampled drinks from Harry's called Pussyfoot and Virgin Mary. I love Pussyfoot! It's very the luuurrve. And Virgin Mary is ala-ala the wimpy version of Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary is tomato juice and tobasco sauce with a touch of vodka while Virgin Mary is adik nya Bloody Mary yang masih virgin. Hurhur. It's the same thing without the vodka. Pasal kan dia Virgin, so tak boleh minum-minum vodka, ok? Hurhur. Ok today I'll try something different. And I'll let you know. For those who don't drink and wouldn't step into a bar, take it as Lesson #101 of non-alcoholic bar drinks from me.
