Hmm... Still trying to think where to start...
I have been on the job for like almost 1 month. Sure, I have seen people came and left, some on the job not more than 1 month, but I also having quite a busy time, though, it is still consider relatively easy ( I would like it better without the daily headache, body and limbs aches, especially that pain that's bothering my left arm for around 2 weeks or more? ), perhaps it is still the honeymoon period. Once I get to "really start" work, I might be singing a different tune.
It amuses me to see people guessing my nationality and my age, and more often than not, like maybe 90% of the time ( 100% in fact for my age ) that they will guess wrongly. Whenever they asked me how old I am, I am always ready with the question "How old do YOU think I am?"
Its funny to see their reaction when I tell them how old I really am. They always go "OMG? You do not look like that age at all!"
Well, I think the reason behind that is, I don't feel like my age. Hell, I don't even ACT like my age. Who says older people needs to be more mature? I can be mature, depending on situations of course.
And my boss doesn't looks like his age either, though he is quite nice, you don't often see a boss buying random breakfast for his employees do you? But he does, now and then, though I don't usually accept, blame it on my weak tummy which will make me hurl or run to the loo if I have too greasy or spicy food in the morning.
Just now as I was about to board the bus to head home, I met another amusing person. An uncle to be exact. Boarding a bus to work and home is like a war. You have to push and shove to get in. But thankfully there were two buses so the second bus was not too crowded. I was about to board when I saw the uncle behind me. I gestured him to board first, trying to be gentlemanly/polite, but he replied in a light jokingly manner "It's ok! China girls can board first too!"
I laughed and asked "China girls?" and he replied "Malaysians girls can too board the bus!"
I smiled throughout the journey home. This is the first time someone think of me as a girl from China. My mandarin is not that fantastic, and my pronunciation can do with lots more improvement. I'd even say, I don't usually read in mandarin unless its manga or anime! Though if anyone were to have a conversation with me, they'd know straight away there's no way I am from China. C'mon, I probably have a proper conversation in mandarin without peppered that with English... But still, its interesting to think people think I am not local =p
Time to sit back and relax and watch "Super model me!" Whee~ Random ending here~
