The End
So it ends. Much like everything else, there is always an end. Such is the same for my attachment.
I must admit that I felt a little bit sad that I cannot join my ex-colleagues in their fight with the papers and documents. Not that I like the job a lot. It is the people.
Hard to believe? a month ago I was still cursing and swearing about the people and now I kind of miss them. The only reason is because I learnt about ways to handle people. I even went and bought a book on ways to handle difficult people. It helped. A month ago, they will be insulted or angry if I tell them about a mistake they made. But towards the end, they are able to accept it well and even apologise sincerely.
Why? because I made them my friends. We were able to joke, laugh and make fun of each other. All because I change the way I interact with them. Different people, Different time, Different mood all requires different ways of handling. I would say that I managed to find that way successfully. (Of course, the occasional treat of cakes and puffs help)
The end of one thing, is only the beginning of another. Now I have to come up with a report on the attachment. I must admit that I do not really like to write a report. But then again, who likes it anyway. .. LOL...

Crazy person in a crazy village
Don't know if any of you heard about the story.
It goes like this...
Long long time ago... ( as always)
There was a man who came back to his village after working for a long time in the city.
..............
.............
.............
In short, he is a normal person. However, everyone around him is not of the right mind. So he was treated as a crazy person by the other villagers.
Recently, I heard and saw things that made me have the same feeling as the man mentioned above.
Incident 1....
Most of my colleague are chinese speaking except for one. Well, apparently they have a sense that their chinese level is superior than Malaysian counterpart. So they teased me again and again without any regard for my delicate heart. However, their chinese is even worse than mine in terms of usage of words. I was so close at blurting out that they are wrong but I stopped myself. Why? Because my superiors also using making the mistake. Furthermore, the mistake is so common that it has become a norm in this society where it will be a mistake for me to even say that it is a mistake (hm...seems to be hard to understand.. lol)
Incident 2.....
A said : You know ar... I met this very rude lady in the Mrt.
B replied : Why? What happened?
A :Well, it was very crowded in the mrt and I was standing at the door. Then when the mrt reach a stop, this lady ask me to give way and said that I should be more automatic in doing it without being asked to. She is so rude!!! I was waiting for people to say excuse me then I give way ma.
My Question to A (which I did not ask since everyone who is around me agree with A)..
1. Mrt doors are meant for people to enter and exit is it not?
2. It is highly possible that there will be people boarding and unboarding mrt at each stop right?
3. They have to use the door right?
4. Given the situation, is it not clear that A should be expecting to give way for people to board and unboard mrt?
I don't know. For me, even if I am not standing at the door, even if I am closing my eyes to rest, I would just take a while to see if people around me is getting off and if I am blocking their way or if I get a seat, if there is other people who needs the seat more than I do (elderly people, pregnant women etc)
I don't understand it. Is it because the country is so well managed by government that people take things for granted? Is it because majority rules hence everything they do they think is right?... well well.... this is so wrong..

Another failed attempt at finding my angel
Sigh, when will I ever find the one.....
It all sound like right, except that the girl is not exactly what I wanted......
She is in the same uni but different course as I am. We are doing our attachment in the same company.
She have some tasks that require her to come to the department I am in. We are from same country.
So it starts.....
It is 6pm. As a person who is very punctual, I left work at exactly 6pm. As usual, I walk at my pace which is slightly faster than other people. Which is a very good pace since I will be able to see more people along the way (meaning higher chances of seeing pretty gal, which I did quite a few times. but I shall not elaborate on it). Then I notice a person who looks very familiar in front of me. Hence I walked up to her and had conversation with her.
(from here onwards. shall switch to point form to save time and space... :) )
She wanted to check her mobile phone contract status so I accompanied her since it is on the way and there was no queue.
Boarded mrt and chatting.
Got off at the same station and decided in a indirect way that it is quite a good idea to have dinner together. ( of course, it is a pay separately type since not my gf and I am poor)
After dinner, best time to get to know each other. So we did more talking.
Decided that she is not my angel based on her thinking and mind set, character.
Sounds very detached? Maybe. But it is very hard to maintain love in the long term. So I think that for life partner, finding someone that I can be comfortable with even when there is no love, is important. Hm... This is potentially debatable.. oh well.. hahaha
