First Impression!!

Ever heard the old sayings... "DON'T JUGDE A BOOK BY ITS COVER"?

I think, most of us are somewhat guilty of having a pre-conceived notions or impressions on the person that we met for the first time aite??..... We must have certain criterias lurking in our mind based on how the person looked like... how they dressed.. or their behavior.......

Its only natural for us to have those kind of perception when we are looking at a person for the first time aite.... however, in some instances, although you have known the person for sometime, the person still surprises you with the kind of behavior that you totally don't expect from him/her... Hence, i can safely say that we can never really know a person .. deep inside.. no matter how long u knew them aite?.....

I admit... im GUILTY of *always* having a pre-conceived notions on someone/something... i cant help it... its only natural right.. I think that maybe its embedded in the LIMBIC system of our brain *learned during my course in Italy... see.. mek bukan pergi makan angin jer tawww.. heh..heh...* to judge an event or situation or someone... its part of the survival skills.... You assesed a situation/person... and anticipate whatever that might happen .. good or bad... and prepare yourself with a plan.. FIGHT OR FLIGHT!!!.....

occay.. im way off course now... Lemme start:

During these past few months, my organisation is having a major excersize of restructuring... due to higher demand....and more responsibilities given by the mothership, we are seriously lacking in manpower... therefore, more divisions are being set up... hence, more people are being recruited.... Considering that we are currently renting a 14 floor building and waiting for our own 33floor office being built next door,.... space will be tight with the addition of new people.....

Before this, im blessed of having my own room.. quite substantially spacious for myself.. even though its windowless... and smells kinda funny *maybe coz its near the lavatories*, but i like my room.. i love being given the freedom to do my work at my own pace... i dont have my boss breathing on my neck all the time... *i dun mind some licking though... heh...heh....*.. and i can always surf the net for a breather...... i enjoy the freedom of turning the speaker on for my daily dose of Kak Carey songs..... of calling my friends and bitching .. of having my colleagues over for after lunch information sharing session (read:gossiping) and being able to fart as loud as i wish.... heh...heh.....

But all that changed a couple of weeks ago....... first, i heard a rumor that the corporate division is bursting their ass off.. looking for available spaces to put the new people... next, i found them sniffing around.. carrying their blueprint plan visiting room to room... i know that i have to take active measures.... i tried to rearranged my room.. making it look smaller... piled the unused files on the floor... hoping that they will pity me and therefore spare my room... *hey!!.. im just trying to defend my territory occay... heh..heh...*.....


Obviously its a futile effort.. they decided that the room is big enough for two person..... coming to the office one day, i found that they had put a table in my room.... *sigh*.. i knew that its was coming.... the dreaded carefree days of having my own room is nearly over.......

And soon enough.......... starting from last week, i have a roommate!!

Now...Talking bout my roommate..... *finally im coming to the whole point..heh..heh*

Actually, it turns out that he's not a new officer... he had joined my organization before as a temp... but left for another company.. however, this time around, he applied for permanent position and was accepted..... i'd known him previously as he was in the same division as myself.... but we were not too close....

He's a nice guy.. even though at first, people might think that he looks *kekwat*.. a bit... Maybe its because of his physical stature... he's kinda tall... not too bad looking.. *but not too good looking either*.... regularly goes to the gym... well toned body i might say.. *i guess with a hint of six pack abs underneath the shirt.... heh..heh..*

From the first look, one might say that he's kinda rough guy.. with deep husky voice... and
muscular physique..... with body fit to be a bodyguard *tetiba mek feeling2 jadi kak whitney plaksss... heh..heh*........ one might presumed that he's a MAN's MAN... u get what i mean... those guys who listens to Guns n Roses.... or Nirvana.. or Metallica perhaps....

But boy... im totally wrong!!!......

He is actually a very sweet sensitive person... very considerate..... very neat.. *u can tell it by the handwriting..heh..heh..*.. he even regularly sprays air freshener in the room *hmm.. wonder if its becoz of my farting*... ahaks...

After getting is computer all set up, he turned on the speaker and to my surprise, MARIAH CAREY... was belting out from it!!!.... he even listens to Anuar Zain.. and Simply Red!!!!!,.. not only that.. he sings all of their songs too... and kept on humming *imagine with his manly husky tone voice*... ahaks......


My first impression of him was totally wrong!!.... i thought my life would be miserable after having a roommate.... but it turns out now that its not bad at all.... at least, now, i dont have to pick up the phone to talk with somebody.. or walk to people's place for a company..... At least, it gives me some motivation for me to do my work when i know that he is doing his work... heh..heh.... And i have the pleasure of having someone to bitch with when im having a bad day (read:bad client)....

Therefore, learning from this experience, i know that even though we all have our own pre-conceived notions on something/someone, most of the time, we will found that we are wrong... i know now that i just have to get to know a person.. or assessed the situation properly before making any judgments...

This is a good lesson for me!!!


.. and NO!!... IM NOT FALLING FOR HIM!!!...*yet*... duhhhhh....... heh...heh......
