ME

在Skype上會遇到很多色男搭訕
卻都是外國人
通常他們會問三個問題
1. Are you male or female?
2. How old are you?
3. Do you want cam sex?
再來就是會一直打給你要你開cam
這種情況隨時可見
到後來～～我就都直接封鎖
吵死了～～～真的～～～

某天～～有次誤入阿拉伯語的聊天室
我馬上退出
就這樣因緣際會下認識了在埃及的Muslim
心想如果他也是這樣的話就封鎖了
不過～～真的幸好他不是
他很年輕就當上Panal Pina的Logistics Manager
那是間國際性的物流公司
包辦了海空運～～～想當時我還有出過他們的貨
也才大我二歲而已耶！
整個讓我佩服他
像他今天假日到公司加班
我問他：Only you in the office?
Muslim: No... my team is together with me
I: How many people in your team?
Muslim: 70
因為當時在聊天～～我以為自己聽錯了
I: Seventy?
Muslim: Yes... seven zoro
I: Oh my god... There are only 10 people in my company...
Muslim: And that means I can manager 7 companies....
I: That's right.... you are really my idol...
他就大笑

那時我跟他說很少會遇到阿拉伯國家遇到英文很溜的
他說是因為待在國際性的公司
所以英文很需要～～畢竟還得跟國外聯絡
沒想到～～他馬上撥電話給我
我還很蠢地回他：I am only good at writing... not speaking....
Muslim：That's why you need to practice...
他真的人超好～～很有耐心地聽我講完我的破英文
有時講到自己卡住～～想用打的
他都會說：I only speak not writing.... Nicole... just take your time to figure out what you want to express
一開始更讓我緊張了起來
其實到後來～～我也慢慢習慣了
整個tempo放很慢～～他整個超有耐心的
有時我都會問他：Do you want to kill me?  My expression is so.... worse....
Muslim: Come on.... I can talk to you and it means I have time... 
如果遇到我不會的單字
我就會裝死地傻笑～～再請他打給我看
他也是照單全收
有次我是真的聽不懂他說什麼
可能那時也累了～～不想再多做思考
他一個字一個字慢慢說
慢到想聽不懂也很難
他甚至會糾正我的發音～～有時講太快語無倫次時
都會補一句：Just take your time....
聊天的過程中只有在遇到我不懂的單字他才會用打的
他就是不要我太依賴打字～～強迫我用講的
我真的是由衷的感謝啊～～～
這都不算什麼～～他還教我阿拉伯語耶！

其實我們聊天也是天馬行空的聊
大多是關於工作或彼此文化的不同
在他身上我可以察覺到為何他這麼年輕就可以當上經理
不是沒有原因的
有時～～他也會教我一些在商業上該注意的事
唯一他很強調的就是negotiating
忘了是講哪件事了
我們二個討價還價了起來
I: Oh my god... I can't believe we are negotiating.
Muslim: It's what I do and I have to do in business.  Nicole, you got to remember... businessis a negotiating stuff.  You really need to learn, use and get used to it.  It's very important skill.
下午～～真的有點懶得去做從公司帶回來的工作
Muslim: So, when you gonna do your work?  Or you just want to do it tomorrow?
被他這樣一講害我有些心虛了
I: I will do it later.... and you are right...
Muslim: About what?
I: If you got an honest  friend, you got the most expensive thing at your life.
（那是他的暱稱）
Muslim: Oh... that... yea....
I: Muslim... I really appreciate you can give me the opportunity to practice English no matter how worse it is... and I treasure it so much.  Now, I know why some one can be the manager and leader.... because of their personality.  And you just have it... it's what I see from you. 
Muslim: Welcome... Sinbei..... and I also appreciate you can be my friend....
唉唷～～～怎麼好成這樣啦？
