meeting with the big guys
Me, senior colleagues and my boss went for a meeting at one of the most prestigous banks in Malaysia yesterday morning. It was a fairly boring 2 hour meeting and during the session some refreshments and coffee were served on the table. Since I was so bored as my role isn’t ripen enough to engage in the discussion yet, I kept eyeing at those crispy looking curry-puffs and ikan-bilis tarts on the plate and started drooling away. Then I was caught absolutely offguard by our client, Denis who suddenly looked at me and smiled. ‘Hey UK girl, these are some of our local delicacies and I’m sure you haven’t had it in a long time! Don’t be shy!’ I was dying to hide myself under the table.
Everyone started helping themselves with the refreshments and Dennis called an assistance to get some tissues or serviettes for everyone. Half a roll of TOILET PAPER arrived. My boss joked that it probably just came out from the toilet. Dennis was somewhat embarrased and called his secretary again. ‘Kasi saya BETUL BETUL punya tissue ok?’ (meaning: please bring some REAL tissues) Couple minutes later a bigger roll of TOILET PAPER was put on the table. We just burst out in laughters. Dennis said, ‘ Ok folks, I can guaranteed this roll didn’t come from the toilet. It’s brand new. Absolutely hygenic if that’s what you are concerning.’
Boss whispered into my ears, ‘Welcome to Malaysia.’
