Hey Now Now!
9:43 AM
Today's Friday, and Friday has always been the much anticipated day for me. The reasons were quite obvious if you ask me; firstly tomorrow is cuti day. Secondly, Friday is the day where hubby will be taking a coach to come see me here in KL.
I miss him a lot..I do! *wink*wink*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, last couple of days I went to this meeting at somewhere in H*ulu L*angat. It was a technnical plus s*ite meeting attended by us, various consultants and the contractor. Held at one of the park, at the site office.
The meeting started around 3 in the evening, and it finished quite later into the night. As I didn't managed to get the driver to send me there (coz I didn't booked earlier as I forgot that I had a meeting that day..sigh...I'm so senile nowadays!), I had to call a cab to go there in the first place. Thus, when the meeting ended I started to worry as to how I was gonna go back. The area was quite sunyi and bila dah malam tu..of coz it became dark and empty. What's more, it's quite hard to get a cab there. Even if I call the cab service I wasn't sure how long they'd take to arrive there.
The bosses lived nearby, and I didn't really counted on them to send me to at least the nearest commuter station. However, since I didn't had any other choice I did asked help from one of them to send me there. He seemed quite reluctant, and that made me hated my job and the agency even more. I ( can't stop) cursed and cursed all of them, but dalam hati only lah. Even the main c*onsultant was reluctant to drop me off somewhere as they said they only used the highway to go back to their office.
Anyway, this one lady engineer overheard me asking the boss and while I was about to go out of the room she came to say hi. She was new in this project as she'd just joined the company and took over the task from the previous engineer. She was nice. She asked me where I was heading to and when I told her my destination she said it's not that far from hers. She said that her staff is going to drop her of at the commuter station before he headed off to the office so why not follow them. I was so relieved at this point that I quickly nodded my head and smiled as wide as I could.
In the car, I noted that when this lady talked to her staff..kekadang tu ada kluar familiar accent, so I asked her..orang utara kah. And yes, it turned out that she's from AS. We clicked instantly, most probably because she's the type who talks a lot and sooo friendly and nice. I mean if it's left to me..I'd just keep quiet during the whole journey but as she had a lot to ask and tell, her cheerful demeanour sort of rub off on me.
Anyway, most of the time on the train, we were discussing on the challenge of working women nowadays. Especially for women with jobs like ours. How it is that we think it's better for women to actually be a housewife so that she can give full attention to her husband and family, but at the same time the demand of the world today left us with no other choice but to work. Unless if your husband is filthy rich, then that'd be a different story altogether lah.
Cakap punya cakap, we reached KL S*entral in no time at all. There we headed off into our own separate ways. But before we separated, we traded personal phone numbers so that we could keep in touch not only through business. We'll be seeing each other in a month's time as the meeting is done once a month.
I'm glad that I finally made friends with someone I feel comfortable with. At least now I won't be bored out of my wits everytime I attend the meeting. :-)
