Idle but busy...?

9.30am:
Got into the office this morning. Actually, client's office. Have been here for two weeks.

Today is one of those days when I'm swarmed with work and have no inkling of head and tail as to what to do. Rasa malas je nak buat apa-apa. If only I could just lepak in front of the tv...sigh!


1.03pm:
Just had lunch with one of my colleagues. Somehow, the talk over lunch went from the tastiness of the lauk-pauk, to previous projects and to a mutual friend who is said to be getting married soon. About this mutual friend. He is the only Arab whom I know that eats siput sedut. Girls say he is cool, good-looking, tall...almost every girl's dream boy. You might have thought he is a bit of casanova, right? Wrong. He is the total opposite. I've known him for about four years and he has never talked about a girlfriend or makwe or any conquest. There was even a time when I thought he is, well...not straight. But somehow or rather, early this year, he kept asking about the procedure in getting married. And never once did he mention that he has a girl in his mind. But rumours have it (agh! no, i'm not a rumour mongerer...well, at least not the criminal kind...) that he is seeing someone for the past two years! Hmm....makes you wonder how come he had never mentioned about this. Or how he could have this big a secret. I guess, certain people are just good at keeping everything close to their chest. And now, he and the girl are getting married! It is still a rumour, hence, the kepochi in me started to make some inquiries. There and then, during lunch just now. I made some calls and all came back with,"Ha?! Dia dah nak kawin dah?!" It seems no one know. So, perhaps, it's just rumour....Or perhaps it's not...? We'll see...

11pm:
Another day went by. I had a meeting at 5pm just now. Had to go back to the office for that. The meeting went quite well. Finished off at around 7pm. Then only I remembered that I was supposed to watch Transformers with my daughter. Hurriedly went to the cinema to buy tickets for the 9pm show. But alas, all tickets were sold out! Aiseh, anak aku frust giler. She almost cried when I told her. Aku cakap kat dia, perhaps tomorrow. Hopely, besok aku boleh la balik awal sikit. Lately, I have been making promises to her that I couldn't keep. Like cooking her favourite ketam masak lemak or making her fried beehoon. I've been swarmed with work these past couple of weeks. Kerja yang aku tak tahu mana hujung pangkalnya. Aku sendiri pun dah pening, kerja mana yang aku buat sekarang...sigh! Hopefully, tomorrow I can at least fulfill one of the promises I made to my daughter...
