I found it hard not to recount…
A friend of mine was suggested to find a man and “get pregnant” to tell if he is going to be the one for her, by a Chinese colleague when she sighed at the doubts towards her boyfriend. Taken aback, she replied, “No way Jose, I am not gonna let all of my children get binti Abdullah instead of their father’s name!!” “Oh,,, rite…”

Deeply concerned about a colleague who always came in late to office, my friend advised him to pick up his discipline, and that he shouldn’t be scratching his head over why-no-salary-increment anymore. But all she got was, “You know what, that is very true. That fact has long made me think, how am I going to send my child to school if I have one someday? School starts at what, 7 a.m., huh??”

My department at office has come to the overloaded circumstance. “How could we let an Administrator do the too technical QS work? Let the Quantity Surveyors do the job(but not me)!” “Well Boss, they say when the pain is great enough, we will let anyone be doctor.”

There was a friend who had a low self esteem dilemma expressing her feelings. “Oh, it’d be so nice if I could be as bright and beautiful and intelligent as her, don’t you think? I could have attracted Hans Isaac with her package!” “Yeah, if I don’t fancy being me now, and should wish to be someone else, why on earth should I even think highly of the influences which have made me what I am?” “#_#…tak paham la ape ko cakap…”
