Kepada kakak dan adik kesayangan aku, aku nak ucapkan:
"Selamat Menyambut Ulangtahun ke 15 dan '17' tahun"
... Korang perasan tak 17 tahun? Muda tak kakak aku? :p
'Psycho' kan diri-sendiri.
Apsal malas keje ni? Tengok orang kat Johor tu dah hilang rumah, hilang tempat keje sebab banjir. Patut bersyukur apa, ada keje.
Suara dalam otak itu semakin sayup2 sebab aku dah sumbat2 dier jauh di lubuk antu. Huh. Aku malas la!
Cubaan sekali lagi untuk 'psycho' diri-sendiri.
Apsal malas keje ni? Cuba tengok graduan lain tengah terkontang-kanting cari keje. Ada yang jadi tukang urut sebab terdesak tau?
Aku bayangkan muka suami terchenta bila aku katakan aku nak jadi tukang urut. 'Bapak, bayarannya RM5000 sejam aja. Mantap sekali. Mahu nggak??'
Astaga! Suami aku yang terchenta berguling2an di atas lantai, separuh mati tertawakan aku. Padahal di dalam sanubarinya mahu mengetuk2 kepala isterinya yang comel ini.
'Langkah mayat abang dulu...! Apa? Tak cukupkah ayam goreng yang abang masak malam semalam untuk santapan kita berdua?'
Hakikatnya aku sudah malas bekerja di sini. Iya, di sini. Setelah dikumpul-timbunkan alasan2 selama 2 tahun+, hampir berkarat jiwa aku mengenangkan semuanya.
Bingung sekali.
*Hari ini*
Aku dan assistant aku sambil2 mengambil foto t-shirt baru sampai, berbisik2 mengumpat bos.
'Ko tau dia buat apa? Cam sibok benor keluar masuk bilik print something?'
'Tak tau. Buat report untuk annual meeting kot.'
'Iyelah tu. Report tu aku yang buat pastu semalam dia tanya apa lagi nak tambah. Dia tau mintak je.'
'Pastu dia suruh aku carik gambar untuk report tu.'
'Semalam masa meeting tanya apa job kita tengah buat, tapi apa yang dia dah buat takde plak citer.'
'Yang tak puas hati tu dah tau kita sibuk sampai dah nak terbongkang ni pastu tanya projek baru tu sapa nak handle?'
'Dah la meeting besok kita dua je nak attend.'
'I think dia dah bosan keje. Kesimpulannya kita dua bos tau.'
'Yalah kot.'
Ini ialah suara-suara staf yang tak puas hati sebab bos tau mengarah je tapi tak de buat apa2. Korang bayangkan dengan keje department sendiri pun dah bertimbun pastu nak layan karenah department lain mintak itu ini pastu nak layan bos yang bergoyang kaki kanan dan kiri.
Jadi aku tengah meninjau2 laman2 di tempat lain. Kot2 ada yang lebih hijau dari laman sendiri yang semakin menguning macam kene sembur ngan racun rumpai.
Bila agaknya ye?
I heard ur pregnant. You heard wrong, dude. Duh. I'm married for only 1 month. Duh again to you.
Of late every time I picked up the phone:
'So, are you pregnant now? '
'My goodness, pardon moi. I've just got married barely 2 months ago. Why? Cannot sabar to see scary little Carneyz, izit? I assure you my kids will be as scary as their mom.'
My hubby faced the same perplexity - so, made her pregnant already?
What? I'm a baby-making machine is it?
The truth is, when I decided to tie the knot (yeah2, and raised the eyebrows of many people to the point that they have to exclaim, 'why are you getting married??'), I was not too ready to immediately start 'Project Baby No. 1'.
I know a lot of people will scoff and give me a series of lecture, be it a religious ceramah or purely biological, that the MAIN reason we get married is to give birth to future generations. Carneyz, are you trying to contradict Nature?
Well, I'm not. I'm just not ready to shoulder a life-long responsibility of having kids of my own. At least not within this early age of marriage. Once you've got a kid, you can't halfway decide that maybe I'm not ready yet for this. Why? Because what are you going to do with your kid? Stuff them back into where they came from?
The truth is, we married each other because we want a healthy relationship, a relationship that is acknowledged by religion, by family, and practically everybody else. We want to be able to hold hands, to love and show affections to each other without limitations as only entitled to husband and wife.
We don't want after 20 years of marriage, one of us turn and say, 'You know, we are so different from each other. Let's get a divorce.' Because we didn't take the time to understand, to adjust and learn to live with a person who is not a mirror of us.
Along the way, I'm sure we will bring this marriage to the next level - having our own children. I like babies. I adore them that I want to pick up every babies that I met. I'm sure having my own one day would be a terrific experience. But I want to have one when I feel I am ready and matured enough to handle that tantamount experience.
For the moment, please don't check on my fertility rate and let us enjoy being lazy couple who like to wake up late and go off to wherever we want. Port Dickson as a start.

At this stage, there a so many things that we need to know about each other. We are still earning to adjust our lifestyle to fit each other's. We have our own flaws and limitations, strengths and capabilities, that might contradict and to which we are working out areas we cancomplement or compromise.

At 3.30pm:
'Carneyz, this is an urgent task. Can you find an agency to print a mock cheque?'
'Uhuh.'
'We need it Monday. Please design the mock cheque.'
'Now?'
'Yes.'
'That means I'll have to email them the artwork before 5.30 pm.'
'I supposed so.'
'I just love this place. It's so... at the spur of the moment thing.'
'Stop being sarcastic and get the job done.'
5.30pm: Sent. Artwork. Above.
I haven't been updating this blog for quite some time now. I'm in the midst of having mental block of late. There is a lot of things to do but I couldn't figure out where to start. Where's the starting point? Oh, where art thou, the starting point?
Anyway, another reason is because I am once again (oh joy) playing the role of 'FOC Graphic Designer' for my company. I wonder, if I quit and decide to go full-time into graphic designing, would I get customers and earn huge income? Would you hire a novice graphic designer who designs something like this?
Before I log off, I am currently looking for:
1. A company who sells postcard and can make customized postcard designs
2. A company who sells bookmarks and can make customized bookmark designs
3. A company who sells that crazy 'roadsign' that you stick to your car with messages like 'If You Can Read This, You're Too Close!' or 'Best Looking Driver Around' or 'Honk If You're Dumb' and can make customized designs as well
Very simple, yet very hard to find. Why aren't Malaysian business marketing their products online? It's so hard to find them when we are stuck in the office, trying to source these stuffs.
