Higher Pay For The Fairer Sex?

I think this week will pass by very quickly.
Today I was in the short OT.
For some reason, I find that time passes by very fast when I am in the OT.

Tomorrow I have a passive call.

Wednesday will be my sleeping day.

Thursday I am oncall.

Friday I am going for a wedding rehearsal after work.

Saturday - my cousin brother is getting married.
And I am the bridesmaid!!
I don't really know what it is I am supposed to do - which is why I have to go for the wedding rehearsal.
I really hope I don't do something stupid like stepping on my saree or worse still - on the bride's saree.
What if I drop the bouquet?
I am quite well known for my clumsiness.
Hmm...

Sunday, I have a passive call again.

And my assessment is next week.
ARGH!!
I don't know anything about Ortho.
How am I going to get through the assessment?
I don't think I will have the time to study.
And even if I do have the time, where do I start?
What to study?
What will they expect me to know?
ARGH!!!!!
I HATE EXAMS!!

Anyway, it is going to be a busy week.
I don't know if I will be able to blog.
The thing is, nowadays, I seem to not have many things to blog about.
Certain things I want to talk about, but I don't think it is appropriate or advisable.
Hopefully my "blogger's block" won't last for long.

This week, I learnt that it is not cheap to be a girl. When a girl goes for a function/party, she has to wear a dress/skirt/whatever and has to think about what chain to wear, what earrings to put on, what to wear on the hands (bracelet, watch,bangles), what shoes to wear, what handbag to carry. AND they have to match.
Yes, I do know that it is not a must, but in general, that is what girls do.
I think employers should consider having a different pay scheme for girls and for guys. It is not that we WANT to spend more money, it's just that we HAVE TO!

What's With Guys And Football??!!


Scenario #1

G : Do you know how expensive tomatoes are?
Me : Excuse me?
G : It is 70 rubles (+RM10) per kg! That is why I don't buy them.

Few months later (a day before the Champion's League Final match)

G : Hey, I'm going for the Champion's League Finals
Me : Really? How come? You managed to get a ticket?
G : Yup, I bought it for 200euros.


Scenario #2

K (just back from work) : I am SO tired! And I have to go back to work early tomorrow.
Me : Why don't you go to bed early, then?
K : I can't. I have to watch the final match (also referring to the Champion's League).


Scenario #3

Girls : Hey, let's have a BBQ on Sunday.
Guys : Sure, no prob. We'll start early, at 11am.
Girls (pretty sure that the guys will wake up late, as usual) : OK.

On the day of the BBQ, 10.30am

Guys : Come on girls, let's go. We have to start the BBQ now. We have to be back by 4pm for a football match, Man U is playing.


Scenario #4

Barcelona, a few minutes before the Euro Cup final was about to start

Me : Excuse me, I would like to go online.
D : OK. For how long?
Me : Half an hour.
D : That would be 0.50euros.
Me : Thank you.

Few minutes later...

D : You know what, just use the net for as long as you want to. I am going to watch the football match. (locks up the register and leaves)


Scenario #5

Me : Hi. Do you have classes on Wednesday, 'cos Mom said it's a public holiday.
Rajiv : I 'memang' don't have class on Wednesday, so it makes no difference to me. But then I have to meet my faculty dean for .....(couldn't really understand what he said)
Me : Oh..'cos cousin brother said he has tickets for the Chelsea game on Tuesday...
Rajiv : Then of course I will come back(from JB). No problem. Just tell me what time I need to be there.

(the meeting with the faculty dean is forgotten)
