The letter.

I’ve got the letter from Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA), FINALLY! Well, I need to go for a medical check-up and to take a pledge (surat akuan sumpah) at a local court in a week time. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to the second letter (which should be in 2 weeks time from now) from Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) where they will state to where I’ll be sent to. Please… DO NOT send me too far away from home… Please. (I’m begging hard ok?)

If you are observant enough, you may notice the date of the letter is 3/7/2008 which is (more than) a month ago. What takes SPA so long to mail us the letters? Well, the conversation below might be of a little help.

(A= SPA staff A, B = SPA staff B, C= A cleaner who works at SPA)

A: Aiyoh… tu students dari IMU… leceh sangat ni… telefon tiap-tiap hari mau surat.
B: Ya... memang leceh... semalam aku juga terima call daripada mereka...
A: Jadi apa ya lu beritahu mereka ?
B: Aku cakap dalam proses penghantaran lah... Jika tidak nanti mereka call lagi. Leceh ni...
A: Oh I see, jadi surat tu benar-benar dalam proses penghantaran ke? I beritahu mereka dalam proses je...
B: Manu aku tau? Aku cakap benda yang sama bila mereka call... Haha.

A & B was continuing their conversation... At the same time, C was cleaning one of the office desks and "discovered" something on it…

C: Kak A, tu kuih-muih masih mau ke?
A: Kuih apa tu?

A & B headed to the desk…

A: Aiyoh… kuih ni dah basi dah.
B: C, tolong buangkan kuih ni...
C: Boleh... tu alas bawah kuih kena buang juga ke?
A & B: Alas?
C: Hmm... tu alas macam surat lah.

A & B took up one of the “alas”s and…

A: Alamak… tu surat untuk IMU students lah…
B: Macam mana ni ? Dah lewat satu bulan dah...
A: Kirimlah cepat-cepat... Nanti mereka complaint kami pulak. Nasib baik kami perasan awal-awal... Alhamdulillah.

Disclaimer: The conversation above is just an imaginary scenario. No offences anyway… Please do not sue me for whatever reasons… =P

I flipped through the medical examination form and I found this…

What?! What’s the point of checking the guys’ genitals and gals need not to do it? OMG… (Pemeriksaan uro jantina = examination of the “private part” for both genders)
