Setting :
A lighted room in a secluded building in the compound of xXx corporation

Time :
Late morning/early noon approximately 4 weeks ago

Personal Agenda :
Meeting for clarifying budget and approval to find sponsors for X-Function due in 3 weeks

lXl : Sir, is it possible for xxx to increase the allocation for our X-Function Day ? the allocation that have been set by xxx. RM 300 can only cover the food and lodging.

En X : ahla...lXl tahun-tahun lepas pun sama. We have allocate the money. By the way, it is not RM 300. Didn't Pn. A told you all. the 300 will cover the LAN fees together with the certificates we would be giving on that day. Kita kena bayar akreditasi dari LAN.

out of the blue, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the room......

En X : Hello. Hi Dato'. Sebenarnya pihak xxx akan mengadakan majlis penutup Y Function minggu depan. Dato' make sure free la...ah..ya. ya.... pasal duit, most of the allocation dah pergi dekat penginapan dah.... pihak pentadbiran charge RM 40 sehari untuk seorang peserta. ya. ya...that's why i say, the bulk of the allocation dah pergi dekat penginapan dia orang. ah.ya... ya.baiklah...kalau boleh, tambah sikit lar peruntukkan....ok..ok....see you then, dato..ok..ok...bye....

silence

En X : ya, going back to what you said, your seniors semua cari sponsor dia orang sendiri. last year, dia buat kat IOI..mahal jugak but they found their sponsors.
engkau orang, carilah..

lXl : yalar, sir. but you got to understand that we do not have the time to go on finding for sponsors. Next week dah function Y. 2 weeks time dah exam. then the week after that will be function X already. tak apalar, sir. I prepare the letter first and will distribute out. I'll do the draft by tomorrow and will let you check first before submitting.

En X : Ah ok. boleh boleh..tapi i nak tanya dulu. Siapa yang in-charge buat semua ini. Susah lar kalau I deal dengan you saja. yang ketua-ketua department dah lantik ke belum ?

lXl : Dah sir. Dah lantik semua dah. Student A yang chairperson, bukan I.

En X : ah, macam itu, sebab i nak minta you orang, carilar door gift yang elok-elok sikit, bukan macam your seniors punya. bagi mug.....buat apa....semua perkataan dah pudar dah....buang duit saja...try to get something more memorable

lXl : alrite sir, i'll inform them. so macam mana dengan sponsorship ?

En X : ok, tak apa. now, semua dapat RM 200 dulu. ini dah confirm. Kalau boleh, I will try to shift some money from function Y untuk your function X. Sebab pihak xxx akan spend around 50k - 60 k untuk function Y ini. Tapi, i tak janji apa-apa. I nak tengok usaha you orang dulu. ah.... kalau you orang boleh facilitate dengan baik, maybe i will add more money. boleh ?

lXl : ah, okaylar sir.

En.X : I nak tengok usaha dulu. ah..yang sponsorship, don't worry first, nanti i cakap dengan Pn. A. Boleh ?

lXl : ok lar sir. Thank you sir.

Door slam shut leaving an air of deafening silence behind.
