A few days ago I was scheduled to have an appointment with an officer working in the public sector and this was roughly how the dialogue goes:

Officer: kalau kita dapat, datang hari khamis 2.30pm di office.
Me: minta maaf, 2.30pm inda ku dapat pasal ada lecture, kalau pukul 4 dapat?
Officer: atu payah sikit tu, kan mengambil anak ku di ugama lagi pukul 3.30pm.
Me: kalau hari ani karang patang? (I was on the phone on a Wednesday morning)
Officer: patang karang pun inda jua ku belaku tu, pasal anak ku khatam di ugama iatah I have to attend.
Me: bah thursday morning tah, ok?
Officer: atu pun inda jua ku belaku, ada function jua kan di attend.
Me: bah bilatah dapat mun kita sibuk saja?
Officer: since kita inda dapat hari khamis 2.30, why not Saturday? But mesti morning tu 8am. ok?
Me: bah manasaja tah, Saturday tah saja.

okay, that kind of annoyed me when he made it as if I was the one who's unable to fit into all the empty time slots he has. I bet these kind of people work only between 8-10am and 2.30-3.30pm. But then again, it's the norm here with most of the government servants. How is it that they advice their kids not to escape from classes when they themselves escape from work, and even worse, they are paid. If only they are caught red handed escaping by my beloved King :) bohhh kana punish nii huhu
