Recently, I seldom open or do antyhing on my FB account. It wasn't that interesting, so I just open it whenever I feel like it, or when I'm so darn bored. There was this person who often post things showing his/her feeling @ activity yg seronok and not at all seems in difficulties. I remembered, once this person asked me for help to lend some pitih, although not much but promised to pay me back. A few months goes by, and being so "understanding" I didn't event mention about the debt. Day by day.. muka dia still happy di FB yet still nothing, nada, nill response psl pitih tu. Well, if kita takde duit, at least, show the curtosy to inform the people you borrowed about your recent financial situation whether you are making effort/no effort to pay it.

Another thing is.. ONLY, ONLY when we can pay our debt, should we make any loans. Taking big risks by making huge amount of loan/debt will sink you even deeper. Kalau ye pun kita nk follow, no pain no gain pnye tagline, pstikan the pain only involves oneself and will not become a burden to others. Especially when the pain involves money; it will surely be a pain in the ass.

ThE VaN

Salam. Last week was the most "relaxed" trip with the college's van. Usually on business trips, (business la sbb menguruskan hal2 kerja) the schedule would be tight, hectic, and will end late.

Maybe due to early departure (mcm la naik belon) at 7.10 a.m., we were able to have our breakfast in Maran (a very2 nice roti canai) accompanied dgn. pisang dari Kg. Ulu Luit Abg Din exam, and arrived in Jengka awal. suka2... Trip ok, dgn driver yg relax dan cool. In the van, I was thinking, there are lots of memories created. Whether it's good or bad, it's bound to melekat dlm our minds and hearts, esp. for those yg no longer serving the same place.

Old pictures.. on the way back, the tyre punctured, and being the "wise" guy, Sani showed us way to the mechanic.. eh bukan way.. WAYS.. pusing and pusing and pusing roundabouts.. but then, aku dgn Ja pun bljr kat sana..ahhaha! I luv this trip anyway..

Trips to Courses/Workshops selalunye agak seronok. Fun as the van will be invaded by friends yg sesama went for bengkel. If it's with the OM group, sure havoc. Great minds think alike kan.. assuming kepala masing2 sume great! hehe. Once, I remembered, the driver was Abg. Amir (no longer working) yg. tpaksa mengikut channel radio permintaan ramai. That time, Akon was dominating the radio station with his 1st hit "Lonely" and that pempuan Indon.. Melly Goeslaw was hitting the radio with " Lelaki Idaman". Pantang lagu2 ni kuar, terus "kuat sikit volume ". There were Mala, McD, Booboo (Anis), Ida, K Ja, K Zak, and me.. conquered by girls. Hm, jgn lupa pitt stop at Burger King otw back is Wajib! esp bila McZue yg in-charge..hehe.

Now, the practise is.. Listening to Klasik F.M... smpai bleh hafal lagu2, example lagu Cincin Emas tuh.. isk2, sob2.. Haduiii

Another trip involved exchanging vehicles and passengers and etc. Otw back dari KL, the van stopped.. I hear the driver was hello, helloing somebody with promises to stop somewhere. Just when we were about to get cozy and sleepy, I heard Ijud's voice.. "Ha, cpt, tukor2, naik van putih tu".. Hampeh.. Pijak kang! Looked like isi perut van yg baru balik workshop, nk kene naik van putih (kenangan btul) yg agak sedih, and those ustazs going to the workshop, hijacked our comfy van. The best thing was.. the vehicle came with a 'long-lasting' car freshener; Keropok Scented. Hmm.. how refreshing it was!

The white van was our "main" vehicle time kat Pekan. When we were organizing a farewell dinner for the staff in Pekan, all the AJKs were compiled (ye, assuming kita sume ni kertas nk masuk dlm file) in that van. Thank God, kurus lagi time tuh. Ahaks.. was it Boy or Abg Rosli driving? hmmm.. I remembered, ramai tul ikut.heheh. Pantas btul pemikiran AJK tertinggi (wink2, K Dib, Wani etc. arh).

Validasi trips were carried out hundreds of time. Above was one of the trip.. agak comfy sbb time ni tak ramai. Plg kesian, was the time Karimi went by van too.. He got a seat yg takleh blah.. kepala terlentok dan tegak, and terkulai and tegak.. where got head rest. Huuu.. After that incident.. he usually follows with his car.. no matter shine or rain, or raining without working wipers. Wasn't it wonderful? trips with the van.. ahhh.

Ouch!

From the 1st till the 3rd of October, some of us (colleagues) went to Suria Beach Resort, Cherating. Bukan utk. bersuka, (sbb. ada duka2 sikit) but to finish what we started bulan-bulan-bulan yang lepas. The plan was, on the 3rd, at lunch.. everything was complete.

Sad and Sedih

It's half way through Ramadhan Kareem and now I'm starting to get real sad. This feeling usually catches up with me around this time. Sedih thinking whether I'm going to still be alive to go through the coming fasting months. Kalau kat Mekah ke Madinah, terasa sangat semangat puasa dan ibadahnye. Each calling for prayers (azan) berduyun2 org. ke masjid.

Sekiranya tengah saie' dan berkumandang je azan, we don't have to worry where to break-fast. Ada je those who willingly pass around kurma and teh berempah utk. berbuka. Mudahnye. If you walk pass the roads, there are always a commotion where people flock to catch (and I do mean catch mcm bola) kotak2 air/yoghurt yg. nak disedekahkan.

Outside these mosques, akan terbentang lah kanvas so that food can be placed. Kalau ada yang tak bleh nk mkn byk, you can always give it to the makcik2 arab yg suka btul kalau org bagi dia yoghurt tuh. Time tarawih, although you don't always understand wht's being recite, boleh aje kita join others and try to find it in our hearts rasa sedih and sayu and these are the times where one can actually rewind btul2 sins they've done.

Rasanya seronok btul kalau dapat ke sana Ramadhan ni.. Nk melancong ke lain? tak kott..Tak carik lain dah.. Insya Allah kalu ada rezeki.

Cari Parking

Today I parked like a crazy person. This morning, I planned to park at a shaded area, but somehow I parked at a hot spot. Mcm unconscious je tindakan tuh. Then, I got out of the parking and moved to the shaded area earlier mentioned. But pusing2 ada bas melintang. So, again I have to "tawaf" hoping there's some place available dkt2. Huh, saje je..mmg yilek. So, I parked opposite the lobby, in front of the drain (that sometimes smells like a loo). I wonder, "Aku ke yg parking tak btul?" as I looked at the car beside. Eh, rasa mcm dh muat nk bukak pintu, but never mind, I got in the car again, and re-parked. Mcm kesian lak tgk Wani exec park sblh I, mcm tersiksa je tmpt parking dia. After punching in, I observed knplah mcm parking tak btul.. Found it! Ada seekor kereta di"park" btul2 between 2 parking spaces. Ramai btul org2 yg pandai di sini. IPT la katakan.

Ladies

Gambar hanya hiasan.. sbb tandas ni lawa.. and takde orang

Ladies yang dimaksudkan adalah tandas wanita. Tandas wanita yang dimaksudkan adalah tandas kepunyaan pusat membeli belah dan bukan tandas rumah yang dipnyai oleh mana2 wanita.

Ni bukan toilet shopping mall terbabit.If it's this one, sure ada yg baring ramai2 atas tmpat sink

Sebulan dua ni, I've been heading to shopping malls for a few times in a week. Just to browse around, and buy nothing. A few times at the mall, of course I will visit the ladies. Weak bladder ke hapa tah..During my visit (ala2 cerita musim cuti skoloh) to the ladies there are a few occasions yang made me make statement "eh, boleh ye gitu?" but only in my head.

On one occasion, I was with E-id washing our hands..when tetiba one girl asked Ida," Kak, ada sikat tak?" I was tkujut gak la, how come bleh mintak je dari Ida. Tpi, rasanya she doesn't know this girl. Muka E-id pun terkejut.. dia ckp "takde". Tpi, dia sebenarnye reply dlm hati "kalau aku ada pun, aku takkan bagi kat ko". Kami terpikir, agaknye, ada kot org bertudung bawak jugak sikat and beria mnyikat rambut time ke tandas. Well, if it's my reply it would be " Boleh, tpi kan, gue ada kutu, kelimumur atau psoriasis-tgk la dlm kamus..(atau ape2 illness yg sesuai), amek la pinjam. Ada beran?

Then, this week too, I visit the ladies at one shopping mall and while I was washing my hands (again, nmpk sgt hygienic nye aku) I looked at this girl who was "ralit" menyikat rambut. Hmmm. Thought I saw her outside with her boyfriend kot just now. Maybe dia dgn mmber pempuan dia kat sebelah tu, tgh mengadap cermin dgn pnuh khusyuk. I assumed mmber la, sbb right after brushing her hair, she gave the brush to the girl next to her.. Saying "dah siap dah". Tetiba dia kuar je sorang.. and outside her boyfriend was waiting.. and they walked away.. berdua saja. Eh, boleh ke? I mean.. pjam je sikat sesapa. Tak kenal lak tuh.

Then, there's also this one time, I was on my way out dr ladies when I saw a few girls ready'ing themselves dpn cermin. One of them made a joke " kalau org tanya kenapa rambut serabai, aku jwb je..baru lepas kene r_ _ _ l". Fuh.. boleh ye gitu.. I don't know la.. mybe it's me with my silly superstitious, yg kalau boleh, jgn sebut mende2 gitu.. tpi, tak sangka boleh buat lawak pulak.

Hmm.. tu tak termasuk 4-5 org yang berpakaian gothic duduk mencangkung ramai2 mengadap muka memasing. Buat hapa tah.. yg psti, pegang telefon. Maybe tgh bluetooth kot.. reception lebih baik dlm keadaan mencangkung tu kot... Boleh ye gitu.

-uno momento-

Sometimes I felt like I am "baby-ing" people around me. And at times, that has to stop. Tapi selalu jugak takleh. Habit kot. And it's nice if at times, people plak take turn to treat u nicely. Tak payah belikan apa2, just do nice things to you. Help you out whenever possible. Even the small things count kan.. Sometimes, terasa jugak, people only linger@ be with you whenever they feel like it. Dah takde importance, langsung orang lupa. Kenapa ye? Tpi, actually, that's life. Teaches you not to feel attached to others easily, sbb selalunye orang akan lupa.
