coffee maker

today i want to share a secret with you
i believe if something is not widely known, then it deserves the secret status

fact: i do not know how to make a cup of coffee or tea with milk!
reason: i don't drink coffee (any variant) or tea with milk. i think i am lactose intollerant
problem: my seating position is always in front of boss room and/or my job requires me to sometimes make drinks for visitors

there's story to tell... it all started when i was working with a legal firm
and i was seated right infront of the boss/partner/lawyer's room...
his name i still remember vividly.. jeffrey wong... big guy always joking around
jw: SHOOONI... can you make us coffee? (there were 2 visitors in his room and they were the house agents)
me: errrr.... i dont know how to make coffee one wor.... Milo can ah?
jw: WHAT?? how can someone dont know how to make coffee?!?!? i dont care.. go and learn and make for us now!
me: ok....
then i rushed to the pantry and took a long time to figure out how to make coffee...
i simply added some nescafe in and some sugar...
then i even asked my collegue how to make it and it turned out they did not know how to make too!OMG!
finally after adding nescafe and sugar one after another to try to make it drinkable, i brought them their coffee!
they took a sip.. and put down the cup.. the visitors kept quiet...but
jw: WHAT IS THIS? is this coffee? if it is then THIS IS THE WORST COFFEE I have ever drank in my WHOLE LIFE! i can make better coffee than this!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA..in the end, a sip, the first sip is all they took... HAHAHHAHAHAAA
itulah balasannya... not that i did that on purpose, but i really dont know how to make coffee ma..
from that moment on, no one in the office ever did ask me to make coffee anymore!

when i was with SAAG then, they had tea lady's to make drinks for visitors... lucky me i thought!
then one day, our consultant, Mr. Ricky came to our office and wanted a cup of coffee
and the tea lady, aunty keetha is no where to be found... i told him countless time that i do not know how to make coffee
and it will definately turn out horrible!
nope! he did not believe me! and so i had to make a cup for him...
and of course, to his horror, I WAS RIGHT!!! he only took the first sip and history repeated itself!
hhahhahahahahahahahha
so one day, this Ricky was at our office again together with the Sub con's Gary, Lee and Alan for a meeting
and as usual, aunty keetha always disappears when she is needed
me: would you all want to have a drink? i only know how to give you plain water or chinese tea..
(i was kind enough to pre-warn them)
Gary Lee and Alan did not believe me and joked about what i said...
then when Ricky told them that my coffee is not for consumption, they finally laughed and believed me
from that moment on, when they see me, and when i asked them, they would chose plain water..
and tease my coffee expertise! HUH!

TODAY!!!! *tong *tong *tong (bells ringing for important announcement)
I MADE A CUP OF COFFEE FOR A VISITOR...
AND... i still don't know how but i just add everything that i can see according to the ratio that i thought it is right..
how my heart bloomed with pride and my joy burst out like firework
when i saw THE EMPTY CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wahahahhahahahh!!!! i finally made my first successful cup of drinkable coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woohooo!!! this is a reason to celebrate!!!
