"relak lah!"

boss: so how're things?
moby: i'm ok...i got my laptop, settled into my workstation, and i'm now studying some brochures about the company... (i.e. - doing nothing, aka zuo bo lan)
boss: hmmm...that's good...

*awkward silence*

moby: so when's the other new guy gonna be coming in?
boss: next week...should be monday.
moby: ok...cool.

*awkward silence*

boss: if you need anything, just let me know ok?
moby: yeah, there is one thing...will there be any product training? i'm still a bit in the dark on what i should be selling...
boss: yeah, i've actually arranged for that some time next week...after the new guy comes in. no point doing it now if we have to do it for him also...but in the meantime, you can just take it easy and orientate yourself. (i.e. - relak lah!)
moby: haha. ok...understood!


*sometime later in the afternoon*

boss: eh, moby, come over to my office for a while...
moby: yeah boss, what's up?
boss: eh, i need you to do something for me...
moby: sure! (thinking that it was something to do with coffee or other beverage getting)
boss: eh, there's this job that i want you to quote...it's not easy, but just ask around if you need help lah hor...
moby: oh ok...cool. my first assignment! (great)
boss: ok...and help yourself to the coffee in the pantry...you look quite tired lah...
moby: haha...no lah...it's that time of the day lah. haha. (yeah right)
