A new chic arrives!!!

Today, a new young pretty gal arrives at Topy!! What more, she's placed in the same department as me!! Too bad she's in a different group, but under the same roof nonetheless...

She's around my age, she's slim, got a pretty face, long flowing hair that swishes from side to side as she walks...she's got the whole place buzzing with news of her even before she arrives.

That new chic's name is...Haidar Najiyah.

Yup, the very same Haidar from my Japanese Prep School in KL many freaking years ago. The one we all came to call "Dart".

I'm sorry if I have been misleading...haha, my blog have always been that way anyway. But the thing about how she's got everyone talking about her is true.

After all this years, it still amazes me to see how Japanese reacts to having a person of a different culture around. Especially when they are Muslim and are bound by certain practices. When it was confirmed that she's going to do her internship here, they all turn to the nearest Malaysian they can find...Me. I was bombarded by questions like how to pronounce her name, why is there no family name, what can't she eat, if she wears a headscarf...etc. All the silly questions you can ever think of asking a Muslim.

I wonder if anyone got excited over me when I first came here....

I mean, I'm a Malaysian too but...looks like Japanese, eats like Japanese, drinks like Japanese, and speaks Japanese better than Mandarin. During my recent trip to Tokyo, I've even came to comment "Wow...there are so many foreigners here", despite being one myself.
Duh... (>_<) ;

AND I'm a guy. Just another one added to a bunch of people with hairy legs.
FYI, there are two more guys from her Uni as well...never heard anyone said anything about them. Yeah, middle-aged balding men are suckers for young girls.
It's so bad that they didn't even give me my name tag until today...3 months I've been working there and only today they give me a name tag. What the hell man...

Oh well...at least it’s nice to see fresh faces around.
