Monday

I had a workshop at the Convec yesterday with some Mat Salleh consultants. It was of course very boring and I even wrote notes on what to write on this blog...yep...it was that boring. But anyways, I dunno what's up with these Mat Sallehs. They tend to look down on us and talk to us like we don't understand english.

At the registration table the lady was talking to me like I was signing up for elementary english classes. Hel....lo. How......are......you? Break.....fast......is.....o....ver....there.

It was very annoying I tell you. They were loud and they talked slowly. And this one consultant would make it a point to update anyone who's late one-on-one. She would edge up to that person and be like an inch away from their faces to explain what's going on. I could see that my male colleagues were pretty uncomfortable. Kalau minah tu hot, takpe la jugak...hahaha.

One other consultant looked like she had too much botox treatment. But oh well, they're people too, so enough about them.

Later that evening after work, we hauled off to OU coz hubby wanted to buy new shoes for his game today. Punyelah susah nak carik kasut. Asyik takde size aje. But at last he found a pair that he liked. Sa'eed on the other hand has started to tunjuk belang. He would run off and if I catch him and start to drag him away, he would sit on the floor and crouch over. Macam la ummi dia tak kuat nak angkat...heh.

I'm glad 'Aatikah is still at the stage where she can only lie down in the stroller. And she was on her best behavior yesterday. Didn't make much of a fuss and fell asleep on her own in the stroller. It was nice not have to bulldoze through our dinner once in a while.

Oh ye, Sa'eed added one more word to his vocab.
*clap*clap*clap*....gooooooooaaallll....

Hehe...sometimes he would leave out the L sound. And he would also say it while watching badminton and volleyball, not limited to soccer. Happy la Abah nye.

Mat Salleh comes from the word Mad Sailors. It's how our ancestors pronounced it.

Make sense now yeah?

iL4na said...

serious mat salleh = mad sailor?? haha that is something new.

nway these mat salleh mmg think very highly of themselves like they r d best and THE one that is meant to be for this world. Met so many of them already in RPI so dah immune.

my suggestion, U cakap sepatah2 in MALAY pulak laaa kasi diorg terhegeh2 faham LOL.

BabyBooned: LIVERPOOL for life yo! hahaha. ooh for now cannot la that tactic. pernah buat...and Sa'eed's response? Ok..haha..no more Sa'eed jugak! and walks in the opposite direction. Kids have absolutely no fear.

TheZik: They're not mad sailors. They're MAD. Fullstop.

Lanostzz: Tu la pasal. Tah tah we graduated from better schools than they did...hehe..nak menyedapkan hati la tu :p
