Es-KL-pade

Hello all,

I'm flying to KL tonight and will be frolicking among the tall ugly buildings, breathing in fresh carbon monoxide from decade-old buses and gorging on copious amount of fast food *chants* burgerking! burgerking!.

Ah! Reliving the good ol' days.

Ah! Traffic jams.

------------
How I know my company wants me.
An sms conversation with the boss' wife.
The wife: U 1 2 go 4 dinner 2Nite @ 6.30pm?
Me: Can't la, flying off to KL tonight for a trip, didn't you know?
The wife: Aiyo...4got u on leave 2day. Hey, congrats! Getting ur official degree on paper rite? When wil u b back?
Me: Thanks! On leave on Mon not today la. Flying back Mon night.
The wife: Hav a pleasant flight. Eh heard u go 2 kl 4 interview hia haha...
Me: Thanks. Aiyo no lah. U guys think too much. Will be sticking around for a while don't worry.
The wife: Gud la! This co has no office politics compared 2 others. Hope u'll hav a wonderful & comfy journey with us. U muz know we treat our staff like fam & frens :)
(I didn't reply to this sms)
The wife again: 4give me 4 being so long-winded. Cant blame me explaining esp after dealing with those **** kids haha! But they come & go, so dun bother bout their attitude :P
Me: I know, tht's why i'm going to KL. Retail therapy!
The wife: We go 4 drinks a couple of wks fr now. Cos -boss' name- and i won't be here oso next weekend.
Me: Sure, see you around then.

If I were u, I would wait for the next big project...be gungho and ask for more responsibility...and more $$$, of course!!
u just have to play the game...can't ask for more for doing the same thing...give them a chance to give u a raise 1st...whether they need u to do more is a diff thing althogether!

Em.. now if i had only seen tht response of urs earlier i'd use it as mine, because i was honestly speechless at tht point.

mike... *twilight zone tune*


:) .. but now tht i've thought about it, maybe she was just being nice?.. not.

t3.. i knoww... but kuching has no room for talent such as mine. MUA HA HA. =)

spence.. i know. and i reckon u'd know even better than i know, so since u say so too, i guess it's pretty clarified then.

magd.. u miss the jams? you're mad =_=

alli.. Yah i knowww. I am working on my subtle givemeapayriseoriquitsoon speech.

button.. the giving new big projects thing is ongoing i reckon, so no time like the present i suppose to make my requests. but gotta wait til the right moment though.

rom.. cool meh? and u know what, i DID buy books. =D about the only thing i bought in KL actually. =)

lil... i think the best bit abt the kl trip was simply being away from work, and reminders of it. =) didn't shop at all though =P

tania.. segan yah. hehe. i was in KL but wasn't in town, tinggal kat cyberjaya. ampun yah =)

but i thought u liked verbal abuse? hehe. my boss, comparative to many others, is better. but tht still doesnt make it Ok enough for me to want to slave for them anymore.
