Monumental Moment

Today started out as usual. Too lazy to drag myself out of bed.
Until I received a call from the office to get something important.
It's here.
The second I held it with my fingers, they trembled.
I practically said to it, "I have been waiting for you for so long!"

I GOT MY FIRST FREAKING PAYCHEQUE!



And it's issued by the Accountant General's Department (Jabatan Akauntan Negara), see... got the Malaysian Coat of Arms up there also. Yes, I am a government servant. Moulding the future of our nation. *pukes*

It's late. Like a month late. Another example about the excellent working efficiency in our country with all the bureaucracy and red-tape. What if I'm some really poor dude in dire need of the money, feeding off rice and salt? Masuk that "Bersamamu" TV show already lo.

Lame jokes aside. I am really happy I finally received the paycheque. It's like I have an actual job (albeit not long term) and mature enough to shoulder responsibilities. I am a contributing member of the society. Yes, I have bills to my name and even EPF! Haha. No, wait! All these makes me feel old. :-( Bummer.

So, I am RM1,446.64 richer. No surprises which state I am in.

Well, I have actually been working before and gotten paid for that. But all in cash. You know-lah, part time jobs like selling handphone, some mobile pre-paid promotion ah, and even writing for some lesser-publications. Even the private college I'm currently moonlighting at pays cash, and promptly too.

Now, I am looking forward to the next paycheque.

Wee Shiong, I promise to do the meme you tagged me SOON! Gotta make way for this ma. I'm such a baby.
