+ Sheeshness!!
I am super embarrassed today. ABSOLUTELY 100% EMBARRASSED! No kidding.
Sigh.
Someone called me up sometime around 3 today. Rushed out from one of the lawyers' room and quickly answered halfway through the third ring.
Caller: hi! Is wati there...
Me: Oh no, wati's not around... she's on another floor.
Caller: oh okay.. Is that Huda?
Me: Yeahh hi! How'd you know its me?!
Caller: Hmm.. yeah cause the other time wati called me through this number.. said if she's not around to look for you.
Me: ahh.....riiiiiiight.... (I slurred... Really. Really slurred.)
Caller: (laughs) okay, huda can u help me tell wati that I've got the sample cookies for her.
Me: (quite puzzled) sure will do. Btway... why do u sound so munjen-fied today arh??
Caller: huh? Whats that?!
Me: meaning u sound even more Chinese today... u know how I like to describe things with elaborations by adding the words "fied" at the back. Like shittified... funny-fied....
Caller laughs hysterically but sounded quite hawwwt doin it.
Me: yah. (feeling somewhat accomplished for making him laugh)
Caller: haha.. ok.. guess I learn something new today! ok later when wati gets back, ask her to call me... she has my no. right?
Me: of course ahhh! haha.... ok! will do.
Caller: haha... ok thanks huda. Bye!
Me: heh.... bye!
I placed the receiver back to its original place and smiled. Tsk tsk.. so free this guy. He's a friend of wati (ex-bf to be precise). Spoke to him before on the phone, that's why I recognized that voice. A nice chap. No.No. I'm not eyeing on him cos he is soooo married!! Sheesh!
Anyways, when wati got back, I told her that her ex called looking for her, strangely though through my direct no. She looked at me, with a bit of a sigh.... like as if she's saying what does he want now. Told her he mentioned abt the sample cookies that she requested from him. To give him a call back.
Wati looked at me and said "huda.... that's not Azli. That's Encik Rauf.. the guy we're planning to order the hari raya cookies from?? Whose WIFE bake cookies for a living? I called him through your phone the other day and told him to look for either me or you...."
I looked at her. Suddenly my eyes ballooned like Alpha's (one of dad's goldfish).
...
Inhale. Exhale.
Congrats Huda. You've officially embarrassed yourself. Well done.

Life of the shameless me continues when i, allow me to repeat, shamelessly hinted my friend ath to write me a testimonial / dedicate a blog entry to me. whahah!!
shouldnt have initiated him that sia!! haha... oh heck, thanks ath!! you're too kind..
an excerpt from ath's entry.
"Apparently, i had this crush on her in sec school. Fortunately my blossoming inferiority complex began to fade once i came to see Dac as my best friend rather than the woman i most want to see naked."
ath, i feel you babe... i wouldnt wanna see myself naked too.
