A day after I went fix the roof as some roof tiles somehow were not in place, and it leaked when it rains.
Fikri : "Eh Jo, s'malam Christmas buat ape?"
Joel : "Tak buat ape ape lah, tolong bapa baiki bumbung..."
Fikri : "apasal baiki bumbung tibe-tibe, Santa Claus datang ke..."
Azry : "Eh, Santa Claus tak datang rumah engkau ke?"
Fikri : "Rumah ku takde terowong asap..."
Azry : "Kan ade window, diorang boleh masuk kat tingkap sane la..."
Fikri : "Oh boleh... Eh, tak 'leh, rumah ku ada grill. Nak masuk pun tak boleh jugak..."
Ah... its good to have colleagues like these, no? Anyway, click here for an article of how Saint Nicholas became Santa Claus, how people came to think that he enters the chimney, and how the holiday became a remembrance for Jesus' birth!
30th December
While my colleagues and I went down to the canteen for a drink, to find that our manager and 2 other senior engineers were also having a drink there...
Keh: "Eh, You orang ada pergi mana countdown ah? Dataran Merdeka? KLCC? I kasi tau you hor, tak payah pergi lah. Nak tengok fireworks, boleh tengok TV. Dataran Merdeka ada, KLCC ada"
Fikri: "haha... banyak channel jugak. ASTRO kan..."
after a few seconds...
Sheikh: "Kalau hujan macam mane?" (for those who have no idea, ASTRO doesn't work well when it rains due to an effect called rain fade which degrades the signal quality)
Keh: "Sana pun hujan ma.."
after a few seconds...
Keh: "Boleh pasang terrestrial antenna mah!" (this implies that we can receive the signal at least from the non-ASTRO channels)
Azlan: "Dah tak tengok(TV1, 2,3,8,9) lah. Lepas pasang ASTRO, mana ada tengok"
I think it is quite an "engineer thing" to take things that technical... and take supposedly-jokes that seriously. Oh well, its good fun to have colleagues like these.
