Framed thoughts.

Taking leave where i am is like bargaining on the price of an item when you're on holiday.

Me: "I want this, $50 la ok?"

Auntie: "Hmmm...$50 ah? cannot la... how about $60???"

Me: "$60?? hah... okok la i see how..."

Auntie: "ok la ok... if $60 really cannot.. $50 la ok, $50 i give u.."

Me: "ok! $50 i take now!!!"

Auntie: "Err..... i think...... no la no la...how abt $60?? $60 cannot then err... $55..."

Hahaha! tts how asking for leave is like.
You "argue" over it. then when its agreed on something, it comes back again to square 1... and its a cycle that happened thrice...

wanna die ah..................

Steph has it worse... Here scenario is;

Steph: "Ok i wan this... $50 can anot?"

Auntie: "Hmmm...$50 ah... wait ah...i check..."
Then the lady walks to the back room... and totally doesn't come back out to answer Steph...

Sigh...wanna die....

Hopefully we both get good news soon....
