Prime Time huh?

I had this little chat with my boss before he goes off for outstation.

Boss : Ms. Normi, what day is tomorrow?

Me : 6th February. My birthday (I was trying to control sengih. I know this is the answer he wanted to hear)

Boss : So, day after tomorrow is Norazman’s birthday ney? (He addressed my husband by his name coz Che Man used to work with him).

Me : A’ha….. 7th February.

Boss : Please celebrate your birthday. Here. (Sambil hulur yellow packet, the same packet he asked from me that morning)

Me : Ala boss… You shouldn't have ......... (I know, there are few pieces of RM50 in the yellow packet) . Ala Boss ....... thank you.

Boss : It’s not much. But you can buy quite a big cake for double birthday celebration, you now. By the way, how old are you now?

Me : Emmm… 31 I think. Correct. Correct. 31

(Maybe he thought I hesitate to mention the above figure, so he said this:)

Boss : You know, 30s are prime time for woman? This is the time when a woman like you are more stable in many aspects, compared to when you were in your 20s?

Me : I hope you are right (sambung sengih sengih)

My boss terus menerus bercakap pasal 'Why you should be proud to be in 30s'. Melarat-larat sampai hal-hal kesihatan wanita. Aku dok sengih-sengih je.

Aku dah pun masuk 31 tahun. Esok Che Man 32 tahun. Sempat la satu hari sama umur ngan laki.

Now, please excuse me. I have a birthday cake to redeem.
