Rumah.

Seperti biasa, lampu ofis sudah tertutup secara automatik pada waktu aku menaip ni, kecuali yang depan pintu. Nasib baik cubicle aku depan pintu. Ada jugak sumber cahaya.

Hujan di luar. Akibatnya, aku masih di ofis.

*Tuing~*

Suddenly, I have this urge to write my blog in English. Not that I would sound stupid if I write in Malay or anything like that. Well, I sound stupid in any language. It comes naturally - with the person, not the language. Whatever.

I guess I've been watching too much House. Not House as in the building you call home, but the TV Series about the sarcastic but brilliant Doctor Gregory House. It makes me want to become just as sarcastic, minus the medical jargons.

Anyway, this sudden urge to use English is probably caused by my newest assignment - to organize an in-house English course for all the young executives, and the 'less-young' non-execs. This assignment comes together with another assignment to organize a Stress Management class. What better timing, when the annual business plan and budget cycle kicks off just a couple of weeks before Hari Raya. I have to handle that too.

Thats when the term ' job delegation' comes into play. Yada yada yada, and my actual work has been cut down to half. Thats the beauty of it.

The ugly side is, you will start worrying whether your subordinates are actually doing what you want them to do, or might have misinterpreted your instructions. Unless you have competent, experienced subordinate, like mine.

Well, my senior clerk has been working with the Company even before I was born. I should stop worrying, except for the fact that she is currently four months pregnant. And at her age, her focus and efficiency is not as high as ... err, I beg to keep my metaphor (or simile or whatever they call it).

Anyway, its almost 6.50pm and I need to go down and look for a place to sit for buka puasa.

*Tuing Tuing*

Kembali berbahasa Melayu.

Sebenarnya, sindrom ingin berbahasa Inggeris ini juga mungkin disebabkan oleh faktor "tak-bangun-walaupon-sudah-menggaul-ayam-dalam-rempah-dan-tepung-untuk-digoreng-pada-waktu-sahur" yang mengakibatkan perasaan lebih lapar dan dahaga di siang hari, hari ni.

Itulah puasa aku. Sekadar lapar dan dahaga.

Sedih2.
