WOW that annoying Google error page didn't load today!
So on to things like continuing my grandmother story from yesterday.
-
Woke up late today, I didn't hear my handphone alarm going off (nothing new there), I didn't pay heed to my younger sister waking me up (she's wary of my flying kick) but I could somehow hear my mum's footsteps as she stormed into my room.
Before I could give her a chance to shout, I jumped down and dashed to get a caffeine rush so I could remain conscious enough to shower without sitting on the toilet, towel-wrapped and leaving the shower on so it seemed as if I was showering.
By the time I got ready, it was almost 8. That's just mad time management, I was supposed to be in the office at 8.30am and I take an hour or so to reach the office. So I called my mum's friend and informed her I would be slightly late. That was an outright lie of course, but it was the polite thing to say.
Finally reached the office building around 9.30am and who should I see at the gate of the building but Des getting off his Harley! He noticed me too (that old man has sharp eyes, shouldn't his eyesight be deteriorating already at his age?) , waved and waited for me. We went up to the office together and my mum's friend (Aunt Jam) looked up briefly.
Aunt Jam: Oho, no wonder you called to tell me you'll be late!
Me: Yep, I got to hitch a ride on his Harrrley.
Aunt Jam: *turns all serious and gives a scary stare*
Me: No, I swear it was coincidental. I swear!
After that, I really can't remember much stuff particularly work-related from yesterday. Shit, I think I did spend too much time chatting with Des and making small talk with the auditor while hiding away in the conference room trying to escape being snapped by Reece's* camera.
*Reece is the kinda good looking enough ang moh boss who sadly, is fluent in Malay. That means my mum's friend can't gush about him in the office and I can't try to gush back in reply.
Random moments:
One
Reece: *pointing to the photographs of the children of my mum's friend*
They aren't yours, are they?
Me: No, of course not! I'm not biologically old enough!
Reece: Are you sure?
Me: But I'm only 18!
Reece: Exactly.
Me: Darn you're right... (30 seconds later) Eh, but they're still not mine!
Two
Me: *pops biscuit into mouth*
Reece: *pops out of his office and in again* GOTCHA!
Me: (looks up and thinks) Ohkay... Maybe angmohs are eccentric at work.
3 mins later, Martin (yet another Brit) came to look for Reece.
Martin: Reece!
Reece: Yes, mate?
Martin: Ah there you are!
Reece: Hey I've got something to show you, come have a look here.
Martin: Aww that's a good one!
Then, both walked over to my workstation and Reece held out his digicam, showing a most unflattering picture of me popping the goddamn Hello Panda biscuit into my mouth.
Me: O.M.G.! *makes a bid to snatch the cam and smash it to pieces*
Reece: Nah uh. Now if you don't want me to put that up on the intranet, be a good girl and smile for the camera.
I'm pretty sure there were more insane moments, but for the life of me I really can't recall.
Man I love work now.
