If you want to have a phone conversation with someone, please act like you WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION la. Don't ask me some courtesy questions that really sound so unsincere - let's just get this conversation moving in whatever shape or form that it's taking. If you can't talk to me, say la... hey I gotta go pee, i'm with a client, or call me later or whatever. My heart's not gonna break if you do that. You still wanna hang on the line for what?? Listen to me breathe??? I feel like disemboweling this someone(s) everytime I get these questions:
1. So what have you been doing all day?
Jo, aku kat ofis la. Aku bukan kat fun fair. Can I say, "Phew, I just finished giving 10 bl*w jobs!"
2. Fever?
When I say I'm not well, that doesn't mean that I have FEVER. Do you know that there are OTHER afflictions/diseases in this world?
3. Dah makan?
You ask me this at midnight. I just feel like saying, "Baru je lepas melantak. I like to sleep on a full stomach and let my food digest while I dream of going to the gym"
4. Did I wake you?
It's 3:15 in the morning and I'm not a 19 year-old. Even if I was 19 I'd probably be asleep if its a freaking WEEKNIGHT!!!
5. You will get through this...
Get yourself another cliche, please. I hear that from you ONE MORE TIME,...!!!!! argghhh...

My sister loves to call me at 4 or 5am UK time, and then asks me Q no 4. When I tell her, through gritted teeth, that yes she did wake me, she often goes on to say, takpelah, at least I woke you up for Subuh. Which is okay, I suppose, except that Subuh is at 2.30am during summer, I'd just woken up at 3 for it and barely.. but just barely.. fell asleep minutes before 4...
But sometimes kan, SOMETIMES, it's nice to be woken up by a phone call (from a loved one la kan). Sure beats beating the snooze button on the alarm clock, man. I miss the overseas season-dependant prayer times! Weird huh but I do miss it.
Hahahaha..suka la entry ni... :-D
ko ni tgh pms ke? hangin semacam jer. am back from jb..bought 2 D&G handbags..batman bought so many more things..shishh..1 breitling, 1 dunhill bag, i mont blanc bag, 1 guess bag..aku pompuan ke dia? will definitely go there again..gilerr.
meandmylife, betul kan? i bet there's some truth in it for everyone.
nachos, good observation and you are so correct! Tak sia-sia jadi lawyer. huyo.. baru sampai HP dah shopping sakan, kalau sampai bandung apa la jadi agaknye!
kalau sampai bandung..mulut ternganga sambil tangan laju je mengambil apa yang patut..
Another question I hate most is, 'Apasal tak angkat your extension?'
Haloooo, I work at server rooms/sites lah. Definitely never desk bound. Extension atas meja tu adalah hiasan semata-mata.
nachos, we go nganga together2, eh?
dnas, ntah diorang nih... everybody's mobile nowadays kan? then if you don't answer at the extension they think you're out partying. Duh!!!
Haha, yeah, I do get those too, especially early morning SMS asking "asleep?" I normally answer this the next night with "yes".
But of course, it depends. If it's from someone that I love, day or night, anytime of the day, please disturb me. Hahahah.
ardy, hahah.. i can so relate - and my fave is waking up in the morning with a "g'morning" text from a loved one.. *sign* tapi those days are long gone lah... akak reminisce je nih..hahahh
I'm not trying to offend anyone but that "dah makan?" question is so Melayu.
bagi aku start keje baru dan ada kumpul duit byk dulu..pastu plan trip to bandung. who knows kan..newco sends me to london ke pittsburgh ke for induction training (aka kursus induksi) hih hih..(part berangan cukup terer)
za, in context "dah makan?" is ok but out of context rasa macam nak sepak je muka orang tu.
nachos, ko nak join newco tu ke? confirmed?
dah sign letter lah mek.
Oh lagi la horror kalau out of context.
