Me English No Good

Scene 1 Cikgu   : Puan, puan kena cakap Bahasa Malaysia dengan anak puan. Me       : Kenapa cikgu? Cikgu   : Result BM dia sentiasa teruk. Mungkin kalau cakap BM dengan dia boleh bantu sikit.

I am obviously not the best daughter-in-law one could have. But  I’m the fun one! Hehehe…However, despite my shortcomings, I always held a deep respect for Mama. Your cooking skills were unparalleled, and I could never match your culinary expertise. But I do try my best to light the stove every now and then, attempting to recreate the flavors you so effortlessly created. Mama, I will never forget that moment when your medical test results came out. We didn't share them with anyone else.

They may not be Hermes and the fact that I do not have to pay for them indicates that I am blessed with love. Clothes? You know how kedekut-stingy I can be when buying my own attire (but not for the kids) Mak, you were asking why I didn’t upgrade my house.

A conversation in the lift today Woman   : Hi Boss Big Boss : Hi, where are you going? Woman  : Training Boss      : Training apa? Training marah orang ka? Woman  : Owh, itu training is best to learn from you. Boss      : This girl never learn anything from me even after 5 years. (while pointing at me) Me         : Who say I don’t? I do. Woman : May be because she has a soft heart Me        : NO, because I learn only the good thing from him. Boss     : I thought I teach you all the good things? Me        : Ya..BUT the bad way. I only consume good things, the good way. (Utter silence) *habislah bonus aku* there goes my bonus.... My Office's Chill Pill

..and the going gets tough

I stumbled upon my last posting..that was merely 8 months back. Allah has put me to a greater trial subsequently after the posting. I broke down. Fell apart. "..we have wronged our ownself.." al araf (7:23)
