On Loan...to Hell




Despite my best effort still cannot avoid one or 2 knives...





If you don't know, I am actually on loan to this hell project. Whenever my supervisor come to the floor I am currently quarantined in, he will come over and visit me and the usual conversation will be..

Boss : 'Lu chiak pah bueh'? (hokkien: you eat already?)

Me: 'Wa chiak pah lio...' (hokkien : I ate already.)

(Lai Meng : groan~~~)

ka ka ka... can't resist it, no lar that is the usual conversation with the cleaning lady (honest!). Every day when the cleaning lady comes, she will ask me the same question, and I always answer the same answer, anyway I digress. The actual conversation is..

Boss: How are you?

Me: Slowly dying?

Boss: How is the project?

Me: Hard to swallow.

I didn't know how many times I repeat this, that I leave a deep impression on my boss until yesterday he gave me this.


In my eagerness to eat it, I tear the wrapper to bits..

Don't know what is it? It's the sweet you eat with bitter medicine. Guess it's my boss's way of saying "Hang in there.." or maybe it means " Stop bitching and bit the bullet.." Either way, I ate the sweet already..

Bored...
