I Don't Belong Here...
I... hate... my... work! But wut's worse, I hate d environment n d ppl working ere. Basically there r 3 major types of groups in my office. 1 is the managers/bosses group... dun even talk bout me fitting in ere. 2 is the all chinese who only talk ching-chong language in their group... dunno d language, in fact hate it, so can't fit in there. Then 3 is the all religious tudung wearing malay group... i'll elaborate on this one...
This 3rd group comprises of 2 subgroups... the men & the women. I'll talk bout d women... these women r religious muslims, almost all of em wear tudung (head coverings). Even tho most of em r my peers, they've all got husbands n children... to them if u're 25 n r not married, they keep harping on u asking when is d big date. N if u tell em it's not anywhere in d near future, they think dat there's sumthing wrong wit u....
Anyway, d main n only spoken language in this group is... yeah, u guessed it, malay... Can't fit in. These r d kinda ppl dat's so religious... one time we passed a Starbucks dat had taken over a chinese restaurant n this colleague of mine just said "Eeeeiii! Gelinye Starbucks nie! Mesti kotor, mesti ada babi. Eeeiiii... tulah, dulu tempat ni kedai makan cina jual babi" (translated: "Eeeiii!!! This Starbucks is gross! Must be so filthy, they must've had pork here. Eeeiii....coz last time this was a chinese restaurant selling pork.") ... (damn... d person i'm writing bout is just sitting beside me... mwuahahahaaa!!!!)....
Although my "closest" colleagues comprise of this group... I have been excluded from their group coz I'm just not like them (not dat I'm complaining... I'm betta off not joining em). So they'll go out for lunches 2getha... go shopping 2getha... n more often than not will bring back goodies. Tho they're kind nuff to offer me sum, I'd just wish they'd ask me out of courtesy if I'd like for them to get me sumthing while they're out...
My gym buddy is an x-colleague of mine. In d short time dat I got to know him during his tenure here, it was with him & bout 3-4 otha guys dat I felt a sense of belonging. These guys r my kinda ppl... cool, funny, relaxed attitude, n just a blast hanging out with... we'd go to lunches 2getha, go for smokes, go mamak....
But since he left, it just wasn't d same no mo. And then a few months later, anotha one left.... so dat was it... kaputz. So how have I been spending my lunch time? In my cubicle, in d office... all alone. It's cool tho, I get to take 1/2 hour naps, good for recuperating from gym. Then I'd wake up n make myself lunch... which normally comprise of either tuna sandwiches or instant noodles. It's getting a lil boring... n it does feel lonely sumtimes... but it sure does beat mixing with d wrong kinda group...
