My office, my home

I remember in secondary school, we had a motto "Sekolahku, rumahku" i.e. "My school, my home". Today, I have a very similar motto "My office, my home".
I spent almost 36 hours in the office last Thursday. I now realise I am a workaholic.

Bro, mama-bulat & I went for dinner on Wednesday night, in preparation for the work that would start at 4 a.m. We had deep fried squid, claypot tofu and "yau-mak" (green leafy vegetable). Then we went to the 24-hours mini mart to buy our junk-food stock for the night.

We came back to office and after a few minutes of Seniman Bujang Lapok, mama-bulat & I decided that it was time to freshen-up before I had a conference call at 3 a.m. (The office has a shower built in the toilet .. a hint that you are required to work many many hours away from home!)

Just after 2 a.m., mama-bulat & I were applying make-up!! This is truely important to us, no matter what time of day. My mum never leaves the house without lipstick. Come to think of it, she even has lipstick on at home!

The activities kicked-off at 4 a.m. We were still awake and aware of what was going on but at 10 a.m. you could hear us snoring at our cubicles. We just couldnt be bothered about everyone else.
11 a.m. our stomachs started to complain; lack of food; we went and had nasi lemak in the cafeteria.

3 p.m. bro, pakcik and the others arrived, expecting to find zombies. But they heard were greeted with laughter and lots of chatter. I think it was because we had lost our sanity. Mama-bulat left after awhile. Bulat at home required her .. moo-moo time. I decided to stay on for awhile. I had meetings to attend. I had my performance review. I continued working and had cat naps along the way ;) I finally left the office at around 2 a.m. I think I should change my contact address to @office.

Even as I am writing this, I AM IN THE OFFICE. I "checked-in" at 7:15 p.m. I dont think I am leaving till Sunday noon!

"My office, my home".. *sigh*
