English Accent

Yesterday I went to a meeting with the developer of my company just for the sake of minuting the meeting.

So there was this one Indian guy from the developer's side who spoke English very fluently and with somewhat European accent, yet not very clear.

Looking up to my accent when I speak in English, I can speak with the Indian, French and Spanish accent. But sometimes I feel much better when I speak English with Malay accent.

I feel so real when I do so. Even my boss, who is the CEO of a prestigious company, he himself doesn't like to speak English with foreign accent. He loves to speak English with Malay accent. Yet his proficiency is off the hook!

this kind of situation actually had made me rather stereotyping people who speak English with certain accents. I can actually judge if the person is either well-educated or otherwise just by listening to their English.

Rich people

Just two days ago, I had to attend a VVIP's wife who was participating a seminar in my workplace. Due to the fact that she is my boss' special guest, I was directed to provide a complete first class facility for the dignitary.

So early in the morning, my boss brought me for introduction with her PA and we kept in touch after I gave her my number. She wasn't really that friendly actually. And basically, our conversation was nothing but only about the path to reach the place where I have prepared for her boss. and she literally did not contact me at all after I gave her my number. That felt weird. Because usually when I met the other VVIP's secretaries, they are always friendly and easy to get along with. But this one was real...different, in her way lah.

Preceding to the next scene, when I brought her to the VIP room, while we were on the way, she suddenly complained about how far they had to walk, could there be a shortcut and bla bla bla... I was tongue-tied. And ironically what I was having in my mind was only "eh perempuan ni. banyak mumble lah. semaknya. tak reti aku nak layan kerenah orang camni." LOL. I know. I know. This is highly inappropriate. I know. BUT, can't they just be nice normal human being for awhile? Just like...be humble? It's not like there's another place we can provide. Others were fully occupied and that's the only room we had. It's not like you died for the country. You're just.... sigghhhh. somehow I found that comment was obnoxious. it is as if you're not being grateful. Can you imagine that the whole big room for one person should be pleasant enough? Only the problem is that the room was quite far for walking distance. well, not that far okay. it's like you're walking through KLCC mall end-to-end. Not that far lah. It's like two-third of that. Really, not that far. So when she said that my lips turned all numb and I couldn't speak anything at all. nothing. not to even persuade her. I didn't tell my boss about this matter because I was afraid he may be upset. So I ended up leaving all those alone. It was more perplexing when I whatsapp-ed her to ask if everything is okay and if she needs anything she can just text me. She only replied "yeah we're fine." and that's all...which added more vexing feelings to my gut. Siiiggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~

Thinking about this situation had actually made me feel so rejected and... not good at all. I don't feel good about this. About the attitude. I just wish if one day I become a rich person, I would never carry that kind of attitude. It is rather galling. People won't feel easy about that attitude. Menambah dosa je nanti. Dosa mengutuk. Kbye

IT'S 2016 NOW AND I'M BACK!

Hey! It's 2016 now... It seems like I've been "sleeping" quite longer than your exhaustion and boredom of waiting for me to update my blog.. ha ha ha...... Gosh, I miss writing. Seriously.

Basically, I used to write in the blog literally with an intention to improve my English fluency. But since my English is getting worse nowadays and I'm currently working with corporate people so I can't just keep myself rotten in ignorance of linguistics.

English seems a highly respectable culture these days so I don't want to stay up any longer being orthodox (it's been really embarrassing, honestly).

And by the way, I just got a new job since 6 months ago (really? new job huh?? LOL) and it actually is quite boring for me as I'm an adventurous person and most of the time I prefer to go out a lot. I can be considered as an introvert... now introvert as in... I don't simply go out of my house just to procrastinate and get wasted. But I do go out when I'm in the mood of looking for some adventures. It could be anything that I would do and it's always out of the blue. And I just like to do things alone... and I don't prefer to social with people most of the time unless with a definite purpose. But I still can get along with people easily. It is just that I don't like to waste my time hanging out with random people and talk about things that are unnecessary.

By the way, I went through a lot within the time I was "resting in peace". It was rather adventurous, mysterious and yet gratifying. I had some good time... Though there were some sad and disappointing events, I still managed to get through them. And I'm proud of myself.

GUYS? LOVE? Yeah, I did experienced and met some. But none of them are really pleasing or even kind to me. But at the end of the day I met my one and only man. And surprisingly, his name started with capital F as well. JODOH kan? hehehe... If you are reading this post, let me shout out I LOVE YOU BABY!!! ;D

Talking about my life... the life that's just so so simple (as how I like most people to know basically). I just bought my very own first asset last year, which is my car. It's very simple, white and cute... and has no name.. Coz I never thought of giving it name. I've seen in some movies, the girls just like to put a name on their cars respectively. But I, somehow, Just don't have any interest out of it. SEE? My life is simple, right? hahaha. Told you.

So, I got stuff to do now. After all this is office hour and eventhough my boss is not around... I still have errands to settle. SO, yeah. See you again, later.

ADIOS.
