Scenario: The gangs are talking about salaries at USP (University of South Pacific).

X: These gangs at USP, their base salary is 80K.
Z: They are ripping off students. Filthy rich.
X: What if all of us salary is 100K?
Y: Fiji is not that rich.
X: I’m just saying…what if our IT team salary is 100K? Everyday pizza…”Z” will be twice that size.
Z: How Rude!!
(* Chuckles *)
X: Haha I’m just joking.

Thought: The higher the salary, the better/more food in take, the bigger your size will be.

The IT team I’m working with at the moment is made up of very young and cheerful youths in their mid 20s. They do numerous daily routines such as maintaining websites, reports, support calls, tech job such as fixing printers and whatever people ask them to help with. Most of the time, guys are running around different departments and picking calls. Very few times, you’ll find them sitting at their desk. They do shifts and some stay up really late to finish their work. Though they are busy, you will find them cheerful, always ready to make a joke and are quite loud. Sometimes they would pick on each others, calling names and saying bad things against each other. They are doing it just to amuse themselves during the busy hours and bring up team spirit.

I enjoy working with them, they amuse me most of the times and would never get bored listening to their chatters. Indeed, it’s a good team and working environment (except for closely packed room).

The followings are some of their conversations I picked up today:

Playing Music
Scenario:The guy was playing some instrumental music and others starting complaining at him.

X: May, if this disturbing you, let me know Ok? For the rest of you, you got no choice.

May: It’s Ok.

The Rest: Wow Vayah, Like that huh!

X: It’s always been like that!

(*Laugh*)

ID Card Idea.
Scenario: The guys were discussing about their new ID card design.

X: Hey who’s the best graphic designer here? What about the layout?

(One guy (Y) went up to the board and started drawing)

Y: Let’s make it like this.
We can put our logo here.
Our address at the bottom
Name here
Photo here
Then we can add Shimmering stuffs around here.

X: What’s the shimmering stuffs?

Y: You know, some sparkling things. Something like…in nightclubs. The shining stars and the sparks.

Z: Oh rite, put some neon light balls and some dangling stuffs at the bottom of the card.

Y: Yah then we show it to everyone – this is our ID card. Auu very attractive.

Z: Haha, hey make it as Business card. Everyone wanna have one too.

(*Laugh*)

Spy
Scenario: The guys were gossiping about something in quite low tone

May: Alrite guys, I’m off

X: Auu, there she go. You know what, don’t talk around May. She’s a spy from Datec

May: What? Spy?

Y: Oh yah becareful with your confidential information. May is watching.

May: Haha yah I’m a spy. Professional Spy

May: May, James May – 0007 here.

(*Laugh*)

A conversation between me(May) and my bossy sis (Win). This time, we were on about sentence structure but the subject was twisted into – the Earthophic Foot.

May: hey, fix this sentence for me
I want to say, it touches me
how to say that in proper sentence?

“There is only once in my life I have a personal contact with them; ie. when I tried to plant some vegetable plants and dug up a few earthworms.”

personal contact?? it sounded wrong.

Win: the 1st sentence-
“the one and only time I encoutered an earthworm was while digging soil for a vege plant.
It was my 1st and last association with an earthworm, as well as gardening”.

May: The once and only time I encountered an earthworm was while I was digging soil for a vegetable plant. I cut them half in the process. The cut parts got twisted and jumped up on my foot; I run like hell and never dig the moist soil again. It was my 1st and last association with an earthworm as well as helping mom garden.

there that’s good enough

Win: no!

May: thanks. no that’s good

Win: “the one and only time I encoutered an earthworm was while digging soil for a vege plant. I managed to mame them with my spade. Their cut pieces twisted and turned, and ewwwwwww, came in contact with my delicate foot which reflexively carried me far away, really fast.
It was my 1st and last association with an earthworm, as well as gardening.”

10 Replacements for LOL from Words For My Enjoyment.

1. RRA: Really, really amused.

So next time, no more LOL. Choose one of the above. LOL is too history. LOL. Oops my bad.

Oh adding one more to the list. A friend of mine doesn’t use LOL, instead he goes – LMAO, ie. Laugh My Arse Off
Are you adding some more?

I don’t feel like eating these days. I lost interest in eating especially while I’m into something I won’t even bother to look at the food.

It’s not that I’m dieting or anything. I never have in mind to diet and I don’t need to as I’m genetically structured as a tiny-thin homo sepian. Just that, these days I’m having very bad eating habit. When I eat, I eat alot and when I don’t, I don’t touch a thing.

Am I sick? No, I’m just fine. Physically I’m all set. May be I’m mentally sick.

The most common element surrounding ALL Eating Disorders is the inherent presence of a low self esteem.

OUCH! It hurts yet so true. What kind of “low self-esteem”, I’m yet to discover.

I’m 5’2″ with 46kg. It’s been a few years my height and weight never go over that limit. I guess it’s normal that I stop growing in height but the weight is limitless so should fluctuate from time to time.

According to some standard weight vs height charts, I got to have around 52kg for my height. So I’m surely under weight. I do some checking and found out these common types of eating disorders and their symptoms.

Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is an extremely dangerous, life-threatening eating disorder in which a person intentionally deprives themselves of food and can literally starve to death in an attempt to be what they consider “thin.”

Binge-Eating
Out-of-control episodes of consuming abnormally large amounts of food. People with this disorder eat whether they are hungry or not and continue eating well past being uncomfortably full.

Compulsive Eating Disorder
Compulsive eaters feel incapable of controlling how much or how often they eat. They may feel unable to stop eating, eat very fast, eat when they’re not hungry, eat when they’re only alone, or eat nearly non-stop throughout the day.

Bulimia Nervosa
Consuming large amounts of food in a very short period of time, and immediately “purge,” ridding their bodies of the just-eaten food by self-inducing vomiting, taking enemas, or abusing laxatives or other medications.

Obesity
obesity leads to chronic and often life-threatening eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa.

Via:Eating-Disorder

Out of those, the most relevant one would be … Anorexic? My sister teases me everyday that I’m anorexia cos’ I’m too thin compare to her (her so-called “Growing Child”, rather a little PIG!). No, I don’t think I’m Anorexia. Anorexics are those who starve themselves and dying to do anything to be thin. I’m definitely NOT anorexia, cos’ I don’t like being thin and I never starve myself.

I prefer soup and gravy these days than solid food. I’m sick of meat, it sticks in my teeth. I hate milk, I don’t like cereal, I have a problem with butter, margarine, I dislike wheat and I’m scare of fruits. I guess my thinness is cos of deficiency in protein, vitamins, fibers, carbohydrates, etc in my diet. Haha I’ll die of malnutrition very soon.

Nah…My guess is, I’m just having mid-20s crisis such as stress, worries, laziness, family problems, life hardships, parenting, kids, too much day dreaming, etc, which push me to have eating disorder.

So, any of you have any irregular eating patterns or any solution to solve my eating habit, do share with me too.
