D’oh!!! When You Are Already 30…

(Picking up the phone….dialling number….pressing green button….connecting….ringing….)

@@: Hello?

##: Hey. Lambatla nak taip kat chat, lagi senang call. So how? Boleh tak?
(office key…check. Car key…check. What else? Shutting down the pc. What else? Need to make a move NOW!)

@@: Erm, tak jam ke jalan nanti? Today is Friday. If 8 is the earliest you can get here then tak payahla…

##: Ha, kul 8? Eh tak. Yang pukul 8 tu kalau I keluar lambat. Sebab tu I kena keluar sekarang, to beat the jam. Sekarang ni jalan ok lagi, baru pukul 5. I rasa boleh sampai rumah sebelum 5.30. Then kat rumah kejap je, just need to take a few things then terus je la keluar balik. Kul 6.15 I boleh sampai kot. (Dang, forgot the back light! Walking to kitchen….entering kitchen….switching on the back light….Ok done, I need to go NOW….walking to sliding door….note to self, don’t forget to check the other door….ok won’t forget….erghh, forgot to check aircond in the server room, think it was on….)

@@: Hmm, I don’t want you to be in a bad mood later because of the jam…

##: There won’t be a jam, remember, because I’m leaving now….(need to go NOW….ok aircond is off….walking back to sliding door….what is she talking about? I’ve never been in a bad mood because of the jam…..she sucks….locking the sliding door….don’t forget to lock the other door….I need to go NOW!)

@@: Rasa bersalah la pulak sebab I kacau plan u….

##: Mana ada u kacau. Just a little bit of change to my plan that’s all. We can watch a movie afterwards so the plan actually got better….(locking the other door….need to go NOW!….ok everything is done here, I can go now….walking to car….unlocking the door….starting the engine….dang, forgot my cigarettes….it was on the coffee table outside….and my phone….where’s my phone? Was it on my desk? Sigh….walking back towards office….)

@@: Ok good, I think I’ll be ready by 6.40. I just need to pick up my nephew from his school. If I’m late you can go look for the present first. They might have it at Ampang Point.

##: Ok. (There it is….picking up the cigarettes from the coffee table….what else….I need to go NOW….oh my phone….where is it? On my desk? Peeking into the office. It’s not there….where is it? I need to go NOW!)

@@: So are we meeting at the normal place?

##: (Where could it be? Did I leave it in the kitchen? Why would I leave it there? Is it in the toilet? WHY WOULD IT BE THERE?! Where is it I need to go NOW!)

@@: Hello, are you there?

##: (I think it’s in the kitchen. Sigh, now I need to unlock the sliding door….hand reaching into pockets looking for office key….no key….I need to go NOW! Where is my key? Oh that’s right, it’s in my car! Sigh, so stupid! What time is it? I NEED TO GO NOW!)

@@: OI!!! ARE YOU THERE?

##: Hah?! What…..Laaaaaaa, ishh!!!! Of course, I’m talking to you!!! (Slapping forehead really hard….D’oh!!! I’m so old!! D’oh!!!)

@@: What is going on??

##: Hey, do you wanna hear a funny story….
