Ham-peh!

Ada dua harta material yang aku paling sayang - PC flat monitor aku ngan motor Kriss biru aku. Tapi sayangnya, antara dua nih, motor aku paling banyak mendatangkan masalah walaupun aku sayang, aku basuh tetiap minggu, n aku bagi minyak petrol yang paling berkualiti pada abad ini.

Jadi disebabkan perasaan sayang teramat tebal nih, aku pun menghantar motor aku ke bengkel motor untuk diperiksa 'kesihatan'nya. Ni memandangkan motor ni selalu mati time berenti kat traffic light. Dah tu nak start balik sampai lenguh kaki n berpeluh2.

Dulu aku dah spent duit ganti brek tangan, lampu depan, lampu signal, n spark plug. Jadi bila mechanic offer nak servis motor plus tengok apa problem motor aku, aku pun setuju.

Hasil pemeriksaan mendapati:

1. Piston = RM75.00
2. Piston ring = RM32.00
3. Rebo-whatever = RM20.00
4. Valve seal = RM8.00 X 2
5. etc. 1= RM22.00
6. Plug = RM4.00
7. Servis = RM30.00
8. etc. 2 = RM6.00
TOTAL = RM205.00
Discount = RM5.00

Nak pitam aku bila mendengarnya! Aku terus rasa lemah lutut. Huhu...! Sadis... Dah la lepas tu tak bley bawak laju dlm sebulan.

Tapi malam tu gi amik motor n guna, tgk2 masih ada problem lagi. Hampeh betul. Pagi nih, aku gi keja lambat, n aku kena pakai motor yang diorang pinjamkan kat aku. Ulang suara - HAMPEH!!!

Nomad me

It's really annoying that an authorized person in the company gets to jalan-jalan on my blog, making it less personal.

I shall have to uproot and move. Sigh. Again??

P/S: Ainie & Jen, I think it's wise if you guys do the same. To the rest, I'll think of the new identity and address, then email you guys about it. So, please leave your email address in my shoutbox. Thanks!

While waiting for the driver

I've withdrawn the money from my account. Checked the currency exchange rate. Groan. Much higher today?? Swore aloud. Nevertheless, I have to go to Singapore today and pay the deposit.

On another note. Someone said something disturbing, so I gave an advice in the commenting system. Much to my amusement, that someone got irritated by the comment. My final, final advice coz I'm bidding 'adieu' to that someone:

1. If you don't want someone to comment on your disturbing posting, don't put the comment system OR please let people know that it's a sensitive issue, you don't need comment, thank you.

2. If anything people advised you, and you take it negatively, you've got serious attitude problem. In workplace, you get a lot of advices - given to you either nicely, or harshly (a.k.a. scold -- kena marah la apa lagi...) . So you'd better take each and every advices professionally, not emotionally. At least people care to advise you. People bothered to show concerns, so show some gratitude here. Don't be too sensitive, you won't survive in the office that long.

Which reminds me of the incident that happened earlier on when I started work. Something bad happened (I mean, really bad, luckily no one was hurt). All parties involved were trying to find the scapegoat, so luckily (for them) and unluckily (for me), I was made one (for numerous reasons I can't be bothered to tell here). For a week, I was called for investigation, postmortem enquiry, etc. I marvelled at the way I held thru without breaking down and 'fessing up to a mistake which wasn't mine. After that trying moment, I was bombarded with advices from the management. I took them all positively, coz I reminded myself that it's just business, nothing personal. Al-hamdulillah, things returned to normal.

People always think I made it coz of my academic competency, but I don't believe so. Up till now, I haven't the opportunity to apply what I've learned coz I was put in an unfamiliar field different of that I took in university (I took management studies but I first started work in other than management department). It was a bewildering experience, coz I have zero knowledge in the new field.

However, I was and still am willing to learn, take advices, get reprimanded, etc. That makes me more matured and wiser each time. I am after all, a Gemini -- anyone who compliments me is my enemy; anyone who criticizes me frankly and with a good intention for my own good, merci beaucoup. No doubt I'll turn to you for you coz you have earned my respect.

I woke up with a start again. 6.30 a.m. Time to get up. Prayed. Went back to sleep. Hardly got enough sleep nowadays. How many hours more I have to spend trying to sleep? How many days more I have to spend like this?

My new colleague told me,

'Every sufferings you endure in this world, you'll get a bonus point up there.' He pointed to heaven's way.

'... Every sufferings you endure patiently.' I replied, almost impatiently.

'Every sufferings you endure patiently, you get extra bonus.' He counter-replied. Heck. Who am I to refute him? He studies Islam teachings and he knows all the Hadiths. I figure out his family is deeply religious.

I am suffering even more as a little voice inside me making me even more curiga. Mia, who's betraying, and who's being betrayed? I shall not throw accusations even in anger, until I have proof but God, give me more strength to be patient. God, I say that as a prayer. When I wake up, when I ride my bike, when I work, when I sleep.

'Even when you say 'Lailahailallah Muhammadarrasulullah, that is also a prayer in the sense that you show submission unto Him.'
