I am having a headache at the moment. I think it's due to excessive
workload and pressure, and my foul mood because today is Monday. Arghhhh! I
hate Mondays!!!
I don't know how long I can deal with this. I have never had this kind of
headache in my entire life. Does this mean I'm getting old? I remember last
week I met my boyfriend at Berjaya Times Square. I wanted to give him the
chocolates and other souvenirs I bought for him in Langkawi. We spent about
two hours together because he has to rush off to a dinner party.
Anyways, whilst browsing some books at Borders (Yup! The most romantic
place to have a date...), he asked me to look at his moustache and pointed
at the single white hair among the black ones. Then he told me that he has
some more at the sides of his head. Yikes! He is getting older! What would
he be this year? 31? 32? Oh yeah..... 31... early 30s... no sweat... For
men, life begins at 40... For women, life begins at puberty.... eheheheheh!
By the way, I have just realized that I am developing this weird habit
since I knew my boyfriend. You see, we are of the same height... sort of...
and as you can see from his picture below, he has the moustache...
sometimes he wears a goatee... Do you know whom he reminds me of the first
time I met him? Not Humpty Dumpty ok... (Sorry, abang! ;p)
Anyone of you ever read Agatha Christie's detective novels? Who is one of
the most famous fiction detectives in the world? Hercule Poirot... Yup, the
first thing that popped into my mind the first time I met my boyfriend was
Hercule Poirot. Except that my boyfriend is not what you call a dandy, and
his head is the normal round shape... not egg-shaped...
And until today, everytime I miss him, I would grabbed an Hercule Poirot
mystery novel and read it. Don't you find that odd? And everytime a short
bespactacled man passes me, I would either smile widely or start giggling..
because they remind me of him and the memories of him lightens my heart...
What else reminds me of him?... Grey Kelisa... nasi ayam... KLCC...
Kinokuniya... hotdogs... I-pod... and wardrobes....
The other day he complained that I would put on a sour face everytime I saw
him. Actually, I wanted to explain to him that I put on the sour face
because I want to surpress my laughter... I have this urge to laugh or
giggle everytime I saw him. Odd, isn't it? Not because he's a clown or
anything... Nor was he doing anything funny... I don't even know how to
explain it to myself, so how can I explain it to him without getting his
tender heart hurt? So, my solution is to put on a sour face until the urge
to laugh has subsided. That's why I dedicated the song "My Funny Valentine"
to him...
Ok... enough about my boyfriend!
I tendered my resignation last Friday. My boss was a bit upset because I'm
jumping over to the enemies side, so to speak. But she handled it
perfectly, I think due to my frankness and honesty in this matter. I mean,
I was not trying to hide from her where I'm going. Ok... Ok... The truth
is... I was not trying to be honest to her ;p... I wanted to tell her that
I am going to this company which has extended a generous offer to me and
that's it... But, the moment I saw her face, suddenly I was incapable of
lying.. It's not that I never lied in my entire life... Of course I have...
white lies mostly... The thing is, I was caught in a situation where I
cannot lie... You get what I mean? So I ended up telling my boss that I got
an irresistable offer from the enemy and after due consideration, decided
to accept it. So, I've said it... there's no time to regret it...
Do I feel relieved after tendering my resignation? Not really... I would
definitely feel relieved after I am settled at the new office. I'm sure the
environment would be different and the workloads would be crazier! But at
least I'll be doing something I like...
So, today, I am really not in the mood on getting any jobs done... Not
because I know I am leaving this place... It's because since early last
month, I have to take over the files from my colleague who has been demoted
to a different department. My bosses don't like him because he's slow, does
not follow instructions and always in the defensive mode. When I took over
his files, I suddenly understand why they hate him... That explains the
headache I am having right now. I wish I could just throw his files into
the fire or something!
Somebody saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
