Motor Kesayanganku Selalu...

Motosikal Kriss 1 ialah satu2nya harta paling mahal penah aku miliki dalam dunia nih. Oleh sebab aku beli ngan titik peluh aku sendiri, jadi aku memang sayang giler ngan motor nih. Kalau Kak Eyna ada CLK nya sendiri (Cute Little Kancil), aku pun ada gak CLK versi 2-roda - 'Cute Little Kriss'.

Tapi motor Kriss aku nih memang suka menguji tahap kesabaran aku. Aku beli motor nih second hand (yalah, aku cuma mampu beli yang tu je, selain dari segulung tikar yang buruk buat alas tido & solat...) n benda second hand nih, faham2 jelah.

Bayangkan, time tu aku tak reti bawak motor. Nak start motor pun berpeluh2. Ingatkan start motor nih memang susah giler, rupa2nya lepas beberapa insiden yang bukan setakat memalukan (motor mati kat lampu trafik) tapi buatkan aku panik giler (Yana selalu jadi tukang rescue), spark plug aku dah nak kena tukar. Hampeh betul. Tak pe. Baru RM4.

Lepas tu, satu demi satu masalah menimpa aku, tapi sebab aku sayang giler ngan motor Kriss warna biru aku nih, aku tak penah pun terfikir nak jual balik. Tayar pancit la, enjin rosak la... you name it, you got it. Atas nasihat somebody, aku pun bawak la motor aku nih gi servis (first time gi buat full service).

Nak menangis aku bayar RM200! Gila seyy! RM200... Sumer benda kat dalam tu dia tukar. Lepas tu bagitau aku tak bley bawak lebih dari 60km/j selama 2 bulan. Sakit jiwa aku dengar arahan tu. Tapi demi memastikan motor aku 'sembuh', aku pun ikut je la arahan tu. Dua bulan kemudian, pecut lagi motor cam kena kejar hantu.

Sekali lagi motor aku buat hal tak lama kemudian. Dan RM200 lagi melayang... Tapi al-hamdulillah, kali nih ok. Enjin tak mati2 je kalau berenti kat traffic light. Perasaan sayang kat motor tu bertambah2. Lepas 4 bulan tak gi buat servis (motor elok lagi, takpe...), aku pun bercadang nak buat servis full sekali lagi (hehe. Ada duit lebih sket bulan nih. Gi la buat servis).

6 jam 1/2 kemudian, aku ternganga di depan tauke kedai motor tu bila dia cakap aku kena bayar RM115.50! 'Tauke! Arituh dah tukar sumer kan, apsal rosak lagi? Lu betul2 cakap la, ini macam saya mau heart attack la!' Jadi dia pun buat cost breakdown utk aku:

Full service = RM18
Top Casket = RM24.50
Plag = RM4 (gila haper, tukar plag aku???! Plag aku baru lagi maahhh...)
Minyak 4T = RM10
Filter oil = RM8
Granpur (amende nih??) = RM25
Waf apekebenda = RM13 x 2 = RM26

Aku bukak wallet, merenung sayu kat duit dalam dompet, bagi dier RM105 ('Ngengada la nak mintak banyak sangat. Arituh dah tukar sumer, lagi mau charge saya ini macam!'), bayar & blah. Sedeyyy! Kechiwa!! Uwaaa!!! Tupun balik je rumah member, tengok2 dieorg adjust brek kaki aku sampai lampu belakang tak nyala. Terpaksa la aku gi pinjam spanar adjust sendiri brek. Huhu...! Aku rasa, baik la aku belajar teknik2 menservis motor sendiri nih. Hampeh. Taubat aku nak buat full servis lagi pas ni...
Tapi demi motor kesayanganku. Apa saja untukmu. Huhu...

Living Out of A Suitcase

It has been a week after I moved in with Jen and I still haven't unpack my stuffs. Everything is in boxes except for my sleeping stuffs. Even my clothes are still in my suitcase. What a simple life. I'm adapting to the environment as best as I can, although I still can't convince myself that lizard's droppings are normal things. Nevertheless, I'm coping well (the trick is to take off my spectacles).

I had a great weekend. I attended an Indian wedding, met up with my best friend Eva, went imaginary shopping (pretending that we want to buy whatever we fancy), had sushi (I love sushi!), had ice-cream (ice-cream tasted better after eating wasabi), did a makeover for my handphone (I'm a proud owner of Nokia 3210) and it looks like brand new after I changed the housing and bought a casing; and serviced my bike.

Well, basically I'm just enjoying myself during my last few weeks in Johor. After getting rid of my burden, I felt like I deserved a break before I say 'Au Revoir, Johor'.

Goodbye Johor.

Selama 3 hari aku takde di Johor, ada urusan di KL. Aku balik ngan otak yang serabut & letih giler. Banyak benda nak kena fikir. Aku terlalu banyak berfikir, kekadang benda yang remeh-temeh pun aku nak fikir. Buat bodoh je, tak boleh ke?

Semalam, balik dari KL, bos aku bagitau something.

'Mr. Usop has asked me to inform you that you will be transfered starting next month.'

'So long and goodbye.' Aku tepuk bahu Ainie. 'Bye, Jen, bye Chairman.'

Sekilas pandangan Chairman aku dah agak apa yang dia nak cakap. But I thought you like Johor... Yes, in a way, it already felt like my hometown. I like Johor as compared to where I'll be next month, the people, the food, the memories I collected in this place. I will never forget any of the laughters, the moments, the tranquility and the flurry of time I spent here.

But my future is not in Johor. Or I don't foresee myself spending the rest of my life here. There was a time when I felt that I couldn't leave this place. When I was part of Fab 5 and we spent every hour together, the five of us anywhere and everywhere. We come in a package, we told everybody. If one of us go, then all of us will go...

There was a time when I had suffered a loss, somebody came and made me happy. Thank you. I can't thank you enough. You had been a true friend indeed. I wish I know how to repay your kindness. For these reasons, I felt like I wouldn't leave Johor. All that was in the past.

Then there was the heartache. The hurt. The helpless feeling like I had been trapped and desperately need to break away. The confusion of what my heart and my mind and my instincts are trying to tell me. The long contemplation. The hostility. The avoidance. The point of no return. Then I figured out, for the best interest of everybody around me, I would take this transition and go.

Semoga yang nak pergi, akan terus tinggal. Dan keadaan yang huru-hara ni, akan kembali damai.

August 2005:
'What I want to do, and what I have to do, are two different things. I want to stay, but I have to go. I am confused.'
'I will be sad when you leave. But if you feel that is for the best of you, I wish you well. I am happy when you are happy.'

A Brand New Place

Eventually, I took that step I had wanted to take ages ago. I packed up my clothes and my worldly possession in small boxes and moved out. If this is the only way to save my sanity, let it be. As Kak Za reminded me so often, 'Agak2 menyusahkan, tak payah je la...'

Finally, I'm free!

But as reality sinks in, I looked around my new 'palace' (as Jen joked in her sms) with mixed feelings. After a long day at work, and playing host at official function (my cheeks hurt from forcing myself to smile all the time) etc., I was in no mood to even wave a magic wand. Let alone wave a broomstick. And the room which had been left months ago is in a pitiful condition. I stood, and stared, and stared until I felt the familiar sensation pushing itself upwards from my stomach, to my throat almost choking me.

I have one disease which is despairing me and making life a bit hard for me. I CANNOT stand lizard's dropping (tahi cicak). At any sign of one in my dwelling place (I'm homeless now), I either feel like fainting, or vomitting.

Of course, as the area is situated in a kampung setting, I can expect to see plenty of this vile thing. In fact, Jen told me it was worse last time and she had cleaned up her house so it looks more bearable. I admire Jen's courage to stay for more than one year under this condition. If Jen can do it, I have to force myself to do it too.

I opened the back door and the front door to let in fresh air (finally, I can have fresh air in the house!), turned up the volume of my mp3 (Vertical Horizons - Everything You Want), picked up the broom and swept as if my life depends on it. To distract myself, I thought of funny thoughts (and chuckled by myself remembering Azlan's email on the Malay vampire movie he watched recently with Shah - 'Adakah pontianak mencangkung bawah meja??!'), then to Beloved, and to my website project, my sister and my mom, my half-completed graphic designs waiting for new ideas, and my business trip the next day. I also thought of events in my life, before and after raya. Funny when you think what will make everyone happy does not make anybody happy, including yourself. Funny, funny, funny.

Jen came back home, and I was so pleased to see her. Together, we hauled my things into the swept and mopped room. Then I spread the rug, we moved Jen's mattress into my room (I gave away mine to somebody else) and assembled the DYI shelf. At 1.00 am, the room looks more or less, liveable. Thank you for helping me Jen! Ur a doll! Muacks!

Then came the big moment. When I stepped into the bathroom (gulp), Jen called out to me, 'Feel like in some ulu places, huh? Like kampung house, right? Haha!' I hanged my towel, and replied hesitantly but with confidence, 'Yes. But... I dun really mind now. As long as I have a great housemate. Feel like heavens.' 'You're a doll!' Jen laughed. 'Aww...'

After a quick shower, chit chat session for a while, then prayers. As usual, after moving into a new place, I had to take a bottle of plain water, placed it in front of me and proceeded to recite Yasin and Surah Kursi, as taught by somebody years ago. It's to protect your vicinity from bad elements, be it human or supernatural, the person had advised. Even though my eyes begged me to let them 'close shop', I did not stop until I had recited the last verse, kissed the Quran and then rose to sprinkle the water in four corners of the room.

My phone clock showed it was 2.30 am by the time I finished. A rooster crowed seven times (doesn't he know the time?) and I finally curled myself on my side after I packed my bag for the trip the next day. Yet I couldn't sleep. My body is still trying to adjust myself in this new environment and my mind is programming the message, 'Everywhere and everything is clean as clean.' (which it always does whenever I am in new places)

Huhu. Camne la kalau aku jumpa mak mertua pastu terserlah sangat sifat penggeli aku nih? Aku selalu menafikan yang aku budak bandar, tapi bila bab2 camni, aku memang tak dapat menyembunyikan kegelian aku ngan benda2 kotor. Walaupun aku tak kisah nak bersihkan kalau tak terlalu kotor, aku akan dilanda mimpi buruk, hilang selera makan, tak boleh tido dsb. lepas aku bersihkan rumah. Bakal suami aku mestilah sorang yang tak penggeli, tak pengotor dan suka berkemas – itu satu syarat wajib untuk hidup bahagia ngan aku. Kalau tak... sadaqallahul 'azim je la. Dia dok rumah lain, aku dok rumah lain.

Dan sepanjang malam tu aku tak tido, sampai Subuh. Hmm... biasalah tu. Sebab tulah aku cakap aku nih berpenyakit. Penyakit takut rumah baru & takut kotor. Anyway Jen, thanks so much for putting me up at your house. Apart from the problem which is not your fault, I really like staying at your house although I will take some time to adjust myself. Your sincerity and hospitality really touch my heart and make the place like home. So, thanks so much. I'm so indebted to you.

Lirik Lagu Everything You Want (Vertical Horizons)



Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it.

Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return.

[Chorus]
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why.

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

[Chorus]

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return.

[Chorus]

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why, why...
I don't know

-Where are you, my angel? Have I pushed you away too far? Angel who makes my happiness is all that matters. Did you understand what goes on in my head and my soul? Did you see my dream past few nights? I'm wondering where is my angel. I wish I can always keep you by my side, angel. To guard me from all these pains. Is all I want.-
