Working colleagues who rock my boring mundane work.
Shahrie & Komala.

They are both 'mukabuku' & 'serial offenders'.

LOL.

We were suppose to celebrate Shahrie's departure from our department in order to pursue his living dream. In which he has not yet figured out besides the fact that he knows one thing is for sure, getting married early next year. I'm so super-excited for him for being so brave and daring to test unknown waters. I don't know whether when the time comes for me, would I be able to do the same? Leave all that hard-up work I've done with the team to strengthen things up there. Would I be able to? I still doubt myself.

So we were waiting for Boss to come up to the office to tell us he's done with everything. But little did we know, he was going around collecting work related stuff that the people were suppose to return. Poor him. People take advantage of the goodness in others. And I think he just thinks too much of the welfare of other people that he forgets about his own.

We reached Seoul Garden around 8. Being a weekend, it was packed with lots & lots of people. Families, friends and even colleagues gather around to celebrate each individual purpose or just simply to have dinner. Since it was so packed, we walked around the mall. One thing I would say; it felt a little awkward. There was like no area we could actually go to or no topic other then technology we could ever bring up. I just realised that working together on technology & actually going out together actually placed two different contrasting situations. We actually could not relate and went one big round without conversing at all. I could not think of anything that I can actually bring up. Pure awkwardness.

Komala saved the day when eventually she brought up the topic of wanting to get her younger sister a laptop. That's when it started to pick up. Is that the only thing we could talk about? I'll never know yet. We'll only get to see in the near future. So we were walking around looking at several notebooks at courts. ASUS, HP, COMPAQ, Lenovo, and then came Sony Vaio. We looked at the pricing of this two particular notebooks. Same specifications, same kind of material casing. One of them even had 3GB worth of RAM and a great graphics card. But it was cheaper then the other which used on-board graphics. We were puzzled by it so we asked a nearby sales person. We simply asked :

Us: "Hi there! We were wondering about the pricing of this two notebooks. Why are they different?"

Salesgirl: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Us: "How come having these two notebooks having the same specifications, but this one is much cheaper?

Salesgirl : "Oh that's cause the other one is lighter lor!"

As you can see from the reply, she is purely ignorant and clearly didn't know the product that well. We decided not to let Komala buy. With that kind of service, it will be sad to know that she'll actually supply the notebook without the power adapter.

Finally, at 8.45, Seoul Garden finally called us. We ate heartily. The staff here was very friendly. They took the courtesy of telling us that they were not supplying anymore food after 9.45.
