Time Blog: In a day of the sourpuss

07:45am Tuesday

Eyes snapped open. Hands reached out to silence handphone alarm. Noise is enough to wake up the dead. Went back to sleep.


08:00am Tuesday

Ring. Ring. Pumpkin on the line. Morning call for me. Time to wake up baby piggy. Okie baby I said. I went back to sleep.


08:25am Tuesday

Alarm sounds again. Not in a very cheerful and ready to face the world mood yet. Went back to sleep again.


08:45am Tuesday

Shit. Late. Interview at 10am. One hour needed to dress up and dilly dally. Leaves no time to empty bowels. Shit. What if my load of 'processed food' decides to give me a stummy ache during interview? Silently pray for stummy to be on best behaviour today. Ok listen to me you fat piece of flab, no making of hungry noises during interview. No churning and I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY I DON'T PLAN TO FART DURING THE INTERVIEW.


Not being to empty bowels makes the day even worst.


Sprayed hair with hair spray which claims ultra lasting hold. No it's not Uhu Glue.


Left house.


09:40am Tuesday

Played cheat and deprived a poor man who was already waiting for a cab, a cab.


Sorrie Abang. Some day I will make it up to you. I hope.


Got on cab. Friendly Uncle. Asked me why I go to work so late, my boss won't scold meh? Uncle is concerned and friendly. In unsociable mood. So told uncle, I'm THE manager. Although I look too young. Uncle kept silent.


Sorrie Uncle. Not your day too. Will make it up to you some day. I hope.


10:05am Tuesday

Got off at Burlington Sq. Up the lift to the 11th floor. Press Intercom. I'm looking for Susan Quah. I added a faked smile for the girl sitting near the door. Just in case.


Nice office. Looks new. Smells okie. No smell of decomposing old people. I can see myself working there. Even the cubicles are meant for me. They are short and small. Good.


Made to fill out some forms at one of the meeting rooms. Said thanks to the girl about my age. Pretended to be friendly.


Ceiling-to-floor mirror on one side of the meeting room. Memories came flooding back. There could be someone on the other side. Such rooms are heavily bugged. I should know better. Hence resist the strong urge to dig my nose and admire myself in the mirror and spent the time filling in the form.


10:20am Tuesday

Suddenly a gust of strong wind. In step no nonsense, straight talking Susan Quah. As predicted yesterday.

Hello Dawn. I'm Susan. And this is X.


I put X becuz:

1) I forgot her name
2) Her name is in Indian
3) She didn't bring along her name card


Can't blame me. Besides I was not in a sociable mood.


X is the head for qualitative and Susan is the head of operations. So today I hope my head will be intact.


Question. Talk. Question. Talk.


Ask me what I wanna do. I said quantitative. Both looks disappointed. Grrr. Just offered me something and stop asking me to choose.


X left half way. Maybe she's not interested in me. Probably thinks I wasted her time.


I don't mind having an indian boss. Provided 1) she has no weird smell and 2) she talks in normal understandable english. It would be good if she makes great pratas.


Left with Susan. Susie promised to pass my resume to quantitative. Maybe she planned to keep me for herself and just pretend that quantitative doesnt want me.


If things dont work out with quantitative, would you be interested in field? She asked. Maybe. If you pay me in USD. I thought.


Sure. I told her. Faked a smile too.


She walks me to the door. See you again Dawn. Great talking to you susan.


All these faking made me very tired at 11.25am.


11:30am Tuesday

Took a cab home. Still in a sour mood. Add on tiredness. A very very grumpy person. Sms Jelly and CMJ to break date.


Sorrie honeys. Will make it up to you(s) some day. I hope.


Good. Mum's not home. No need to see her face. Not up to another round of sparring. Tired and moody. Took a nap without cleaning off makeup.


12:30pm Tuesday

Pumpkin called. Just the teddybear I wanna see. I perk up immediately at the thought of looking at his nice butt. *beam* He promised to drop by to visit me. Yeah!! Thanks pumpkin for enclosing yourself in a small space today.


02:00pm - 06:00pm Tuesday

Nap Time. Liloo smsed me. Was in the middle of a nap. Forgot to reply her. HEHE. Just thought of it. HEHE


06:30pm - 10:30pm Tuesday

Mr Chan promised to bring me to Chinatown for good food. Yeah! Nice butt and good food. What more can a woman want. Except for Gucci.


Chinatown: Wish you were here CMJ.


Yours sincerely,
