Aktress Jelita

So here it begins, the story of Alia, the girl who tries to cope up with her life after spending about two years as a humble servant to her ex-consulting company.

She resigned as a kuli batak.

And she accepted another impromptu kuli batak position...at home.

Well at least this "brilliant" job doesn't require me to get up early in the morning (actually, I have to, for breakfast preparation, tapi...hahahahahahaha, pandai-pandai lah my family cari makanan sendirik yaa).

I don't have to terkejar-kejar menelepon client untuk follow-up (though I have to call my brother and bapak when it's time to eat, but if they refuse to participate, no hal punyaaa).

I don't have to bersembam muka because I have to wake up early just to go for a meeting and only to be told that the meeting has been postponed to a later time (macam celaka bos tak kasi tau beforehand).

I don't have to put on my best suit and beramah mesra with the clients (kat rumah boleh pakai baju koyak, seluar busuk tak basuh seminggu).

Seronoks!

But, the downside is that, I have to mengemas, memasak dan membasuh.

Mengemas, memasak dan membasuh. Mengemas, memasak dan membasuh.

You're asking THIS lazy woman. Who are you kidding? Have you been inside my room? Oh oops, sorry, you haven't and you won't. Unless if you're Don, and you're not Don are youuuuuuu?!!!

Eh apasal tetiba emo ni.

Anyway, speaking of Don, I haven't packed anything yet. I'm gonna travel light, nak bawak baju sekeping and undies sepasang je lah. Haaa. I dunno whether I should bring my coat or not considering dah spring/summer. But his place kan kampung omputeh, and there are mountains..so mesti malam-malam sejuk kot? I guess I'll just bring one coat je lah (chey, cakap macam aku ada berjenis-jenis coats)

----

I think I'm gonna watch Band of Brothers lah today. Ok so I've been watching it for countless times sampai dah hafal script. No seriously, hafal betul. I can quote lines from the movie, but I can't remember sifir without calculator. Haha. Yer lah, buat apa nak hafal, the technology is there, guna je laaa kan kan kan. But when it comes to discounted items, automatically aku boleh calculate dlm otak. Agak kagum lah jugak.

Anywayy, did I tell you that I adore war movies?

Brecourt Manor

Tengok tu, leadership quality memancar-mancar.

Richard D. Winters (the real one lah)

But his character is (well) played by Damien Lewis (British actor), yang before this aku tak pernah kenal

Damie Leweeyyy

I've watched the "out takes" and the documentary at the end of the film, Damien is a bit..dull. And slightly arrogant, agaknya because he had the role of a leader (memandai je aku nak comment kan). But Nixon (played by Ron Livingston) yang aku tengok kelakar and spontaneous. So I like funny men, sooo?

Damien Lewis and Ron Livingston

But despite of my kegedikkan melampau on reviewing the characters, I know I'm living in a real world and my real world is definitely not in Hollywood, so of course, I have to be real laa kann..

Har har har. Who says I can't dream while being real? (oxymoron)

Eh segak kacak lah pulak.

Super Monday

I received a salary raise starting this year based on my last year's performance. I was informed that they don't usually give kuli bataks a salary raise since we've only been working over a year. Mana eligible for any kind of raise. But since I did well last year, they've decided to go against the rules. Ni nak cakap aku ni an excellent kuli batak lah sampai boleh kasi exception.

bagus. Bagus.

And they're making me permanent...with another salary raise. Kira dalam 4 bulan ni, aku dapat 2 kali salary raise lah.

Bagus. Bagus.

And I'm gonna tender my resignation tomorrow.

I'm going for my dreams.

On another note, hari ni aku dah berpakaian serba cantik dan lawa (puji diri sendiri ni) white pants and pink shirt. I wanted to start on a fresh Monday, lupakan al-kisah project durjana tu. Bangun pagi pon awal (selalunya aku bangun pukul 10am, har har har, did i mention I'm an excellent kuli batak?). Went to work with a worryless mind, full with confidence and determined to chase after clients yang tak kasi feedback lagi.

I mean wtf lah, I gave them ample time of 3 months, takkan tu pon tak cukup lagi?! I'm not collecting money, I can understand lah kalau aku ketuk pintu mintak duit and you have to request more time to korek duit dari buntut. But I'm merely requesting for infomation which I have stated in the goddamn letter!!!!

TENSION GILA.

Eh tersasul arah cerita.

So I went to work with a great shape of mind and ehem ehem body. Even more joyful to see my PM wasn't there (joli joli) .

After a ton of greatness and happy endings (multiple endings), I received one bad news...

Celaka berpetir-petir.

Ok lah, a little exaggerated, but you got the jizz.

And to make it more happening, I didn't bring my pad. Usually I'd have my emergency pad with me at all time, but a few days ago, I've decided not to. Babiks!

What are the chances of that huh?

So nak tanak, I had to listen to this genius:

[2:42:28 PM] Don says: Go to the bathroom
[2:42:34 PM] Don says: and use a bunch bunch bunch of toilet paper

Har har har.

Ok lah, actually I've taught of that first, saja nak bagi effect dramatic lebih lebih by mengadu to him (jijik tak, period bocor pon nak kasitau).

[2:44:30 PM] Alia says: i did
[2:44:31 PM] Alia says: lol
[2:44:35 PM] Alia says: i'm pro like thaaaaaaaaaaaaat
[2:44:37 PM] Alia says: har har har
[2:44:43 PM] Alia says: you think you're the only pro here huh
[2:44:45 PM] Alia says: huhhhhhhh
[2:44:46 PM] Alia says: LOL

[2:44:58 PM] Don says: lol
[2:45:45 PM] Don says: it would appear that you are picking up some of my better traits >.> Super Intellect rawrs

HAHAH.

Box of crayons.

During a one fine evening, a man and a woman cuddling up with each other, enjoying the moment.

"Sayang, if you were a box of crayons, what color do you think you'd be?", she metaphorically asks her loved one.

"Why do women always ask stupid shit like this..", he replies in such annoyance.

"Just answer it. This type of stupid shit satiates me", her tone is bland, but her curiosity devours everything.

"Okay, I'll be a white crayon"

"...I mean what else would I be, I'm white, so I'm the white crayon, you're the brown crayon", continues the man, sniggers while trying to finish his sentence.

She laughs along with him.

"Realistically, there would only be 4 colors in this world, white, black, brown and yellow. There won't be any purple, or red or green or some shit like that. And if you combine all that together, we would be shit-colored. That's what the world is, it's full of shit", he responds in a vivid tone.

This true story might have been fabricated slightly to emphasize on the end point.

Friday.

Today is a self declared off day. Har har har. I reached home at 4pm yesterday and went to sleep at 5pm until 9am today.

Heee :D

But I received a call (which I didn't pick up) from boss an hour ago about work. Alamak. Nevermindlah, I'll do my work tonight. Hey it's the weekend tomorrow.

About the business trip..it was tiring only because I had to drive. Other than that, it was awesome. Duduk kat 5-star hotel, mana tak best. :D

Muka tahan berak.
