- My BB is still alien to me. My ringtone is still one of those standard ringtones that are automatically installed in your phone. And it sounds like a cross between an Arabic and Indian song. Not that it’s a bad thing, if it’s a proper padang pasir song but this one, I don’t know…it’s just weird and every time my phone rings my family will give me this ‘look’. Ok so yes it is a bit embarrassing. And the easiest thing to do is to just choose another ringtone right? It might sound easy for you but it’s not for Miss-Lazybum Me. I can’t even find a miniscule amount of effort to actually look through the selection and pick a better, less-embarrassing one. Can somebody do me a favour and send me a song or something?
And the other thing I’m not used to is the trackpad or scroll pad or whatever it is you call that thing in the middle. Maybe I don’t have a delicate thumb but I find that I would usually over-scroll. Especially when I’m browsing my FB page. On many occasions, I have accidentally clicked ‘like this’ without even liking the post or the picture. I can’t even remember how many times I had to ‘unlike this’. Oh God, I must’ve looked like a terrible friend. Liking something and then suddenly unliking it. But some of the status updates, pictures and what-nots are not meant to be liked. I hope I will get the hang of it really soon because I don’t want to end up liking somebody’s death news or somebody’s misfortune. So if you see me liking something inappropriate, please forgive me. I promise I’ll be extra careful next time.
- One of my pet peeves is people who take forever to order at a fast food counter. It is especially unbearable if there is long queue. Look, you’ve been queuing up in front of me for like, 10 minutes already. Surely while queuing up you would have thought of what to order. So why do you go blank when you reach the counter? Nervous? I hear a lot of umms, ahhs, errs, hmm what shall I have for today? More hmmms. Worst still, if that’s the time you decide to shout at your friend who is seated at the table asking him what he wants. And then your friend wobbles to the counter to peer at the menu on the wall and says ‘apa-apa lah’. It takes up EVERYBODY’s time. I know it’s not just a burger as eating out at fast food outlets is a luxury to a LOT of people. I understand that. So I’m not going to say ‘just order something!’. But I would expect a little ‘developed-country’ mentality among all of us (even if we are still a developing country). Baby steps, people. And the baby steps can begin at fast food outlets. So just use the long wait as the time for you to think thoroughly on what you would like to have for lunch and just walk up confidently to the girl behind the counter and say ‘Set number four, medium, Coke, take away please’ effortlessly. :) Hehe. And don’t panic when the girl offers to upgrade your meal for just RM1 only or whether you’d like to have a chocolate sundae. Your entire life doesn’t have to change, you can just say no, thank you. So all the “abang nak apa, adik nak apa, kakak nak apa” questions can be sorted out before you line up or as you wait in the line please.
- Last night as I was spending time with Dani, my nephew, on his bed, he took off his pacifier and said ‘Yaya’ and smiled. And then he put the pacifier back in his mouth. (He was about to go to sleep) I’m sure you know the joy when you hear your nephew or niece calling your name. I would go weak in the knees every time he calls me. Itu baru nephew. I’m imagining what it feels like to have my own child calling me whatever I decide he or she should call me. I’m sure I would cry! Already I’m going gaga over everything that Dani does; I can’t imagine how obsessed I would be with my own child. Can you?
- Have a nice weekend. Don’t wake up early like me and live with regret on Monday.
