After three weeks of not working at the cafe and over a month off from Delifrance, I'm finally back to earning my own money. My manager/friend called me up over the weekend to ask if I could help her at the cafe cause she's having school and apparently the person who was suppose to cover my shift (while I was on a long 'holiday' from work) quitted. So there I was, working/slacking at the cafe. It used to be a routine to rush off to work after school, but seems to me that the word 'used' shall be erased off that line.
I shall not talk about work cause the only two significant words you will see me use in the whole 'ranting section' would be eat and slack, eat and slack. So I figure I spare you the next 5-10 minutes of reading boring stuff that I'm going to blog about and introduce to you the new section of my blog. So instead of the 'ranting section', as editor/writer of this blog, I shall now welcome the 'bitching section'.
Well, it's really simple. This section is all about bitching. The good, the bad and the beautifully... ugly. If you're a frequent reader of my blog then you would have realize by now the trend in my entries. When I feel like shit, usually associated with my personal life, then my entries would be something you would find in a room for kids who slash their wrist. If I'm feeling doink, then my entries would be pretty much short and I'll start posting lyrics to make it look like as though I made an effort to have something for people to read. If I'm feeling happy and free, my post would be much longer that it takes time to actually scroll down to the bottom and scroll up again to ask yourself "what the hell is he talking about?" . And when I really don't know what to blog about, I'll start blogging about people!
See, I don't really 'feature' names unless of course it's like 'I went out with Bush in the afternoon..'. Usually I'll use general terms like 'he' or 'she' (like duh) I don't want to offend the person but by this doing this, I hope the person will know I'm talking about him/her IF he/she happens to jump into my blog. But, I did 'bitch' about someone a few times in my blog. But of course I said good things about her. She's no one other than my lil butt, I mean buddy of mine Aisyah. But before I even go on bragging about how lucky I am to have a friend like her, I do ask for permission. Don't I?
So for today, after much thought and consideration, the lucky person who I'm going to 'bitch' about would be (drum roll please) Mummy! Oh, people close to me know that Mummy is actually Eliza. I call her Mummy not because she's my mum or we are attached or anything (so please don't jump to conclusions), but it's just a nick name I gave her. Let's settle this first before I go on 'bitching' about her cause people are just curious about the whole thing. I'll try to make it short and sweet.
I call the members of the group babies because I was influenced by this line which my manager came up with 'tak tahu sangat ah Baby'. So this Baby-Baby thing came out from that line. So if they were called 'Babies' shouldn't I be called 'Daddy'? Cause firstly, they are all year ones and I was the senior in the group. So I was (and still) 'Baby Sitting' them. Eliza is my secretary, so I call her Mummy cause she's helping me run my stuff. So now do you get the whole idea?
So now for Hafez's quick facts. Did you know?
Aisyah is Ummi
Nanie is Mama
Lala is Mummy
Malvina is Mummy
Fadila is also Mummy
So can we all now settle it by agreeing that this Mummy thing is strictly just a term and nothing else? Thank you.
Now back to the story. Ah yes, Mummy. Let's rewind the tape back to where it all started. Percussion Ensemble was revived 5-6 months ago cause some smart ass thought it was a good idea (which in fact is a brilliant idea now) to try to get a group together to bring back those good old drumming days. But in fact, all he wanted was to get his Baby Djem. That's all. What an ass right?! That ass happens to be me.
So making a deal with the devil, I was introduced to this sweet angel of his, called Fadila, who is now the vice president of the IG. We went through a whole lot of shit together, from missing people to missing drums. After making a list of people and checking it twice, only one of the them from the missing people list messaged the ass. It went something like this 'Hi I'm Eliza here. Sorry I wasn't able to attend the meetings but I'm still interested to join...' shit, it doesn't sound like her but yeah, it was something along that line. What?! It was way back what!
So I assumed, by the look of the name' that this girl was a Chinese. Okay maybe I'm bad at names but it sounded Chinese. So we were having our usual 'let's hit the drums really hard and see who can make the loudest sound' practices when she came into the music room. I was sitting in a corner watching the other Babies when she just came in without any acknowledgement or what so ever. I was telling myself 'ni minah saper sak?' I was kind of pissed to be honest cause I don't like people who come in to play the babies (drums) without any acknowlegement. So there I was waiting for someone to tell me who the hell this girl is or I'll have to ask her myself which I won't do. So Fadila introduced me to Mummy, and that was just the start.
After practice we had our small gathering on the stage to talk about a few stuffs. I remember telling them about the different post they would want to consider about like vice president, secretary and so on. So I was jokingly saying "if my vice president is a girl, then you'll be called Mummy"
Mummy's response was so cute I could still remember it till now. "If let's say the person wants to become the vice president can she be not called Mummy?" It's still clear in my head. Though I couldn't remember what I replied, that really showed me her doink side, which still makes me smile till now. =) ZUl and I were making up ghost stories and Mummy felt for that too. Hehe. Cute right?
So after another round of shit, Mummy became my secretary. I can't really recall why I called her Mummy but it's stuck with me now. It's just weird to call her by her name. We did try once when someone got pissed off at me by calling her that but after awhile, it was back to the Mummy Daddy thing. Even Zul accidently called her Mummy cause he's used to me calling her that even when I talk about her. It's like her second name already.
I would be lying if I said that we didn't go through hell and back. But Mummy's really supportive of what I'm doing. She's there when I need her the most and willing to help me out even though she has alot ALOT of work to do. I think she's busier than I am but she's just there when I need her and that is something I just love about her. There were times when I got really pissed at her and I think there was a time when we swapped 'eyes' (melayu cakap jeling) but at the end of the day, it's Mummy who makes me smile with that doinkness of hers.
So the good thing is that she's really helpful. The bad thing is that she's always doink. Hehe but she's getting smarter now =) and the beautifully ugly is that she's pretty but she always gets the weird guys... Oops.
I would really want to go on, but there's just too many to say. This 'bitching section' might as well be renamed into 'our past section' Just a lil something before we go...
"It's like as though I've known you for more than 5 months.." "It's like as though I've only known you only yesterday.." "Not until that bad lah.." "Cause there are things I don't know about you which shows that I've much more to learn.."
