Lovely Lunch with My Love

I didn't plan it. Honest! I have been in KL for 3 days now.. never once I called him.. I wanted to, but somehow my fingers refused to dial his number.

So, this morning we were both in the same hall.. A huge hall. My place was among the front rows. He was at the back, on the second floor. I had my hp in my hand and was listening to Mr. President giving his speech. Suddenly, it buzzed. A message came. From HT. Immediately a smile formed on my face.

HT : U duduk mana?

Happy Me : Kat depan ni ha... betul2 depan bos.. Just a few rows behind the VIPs

HT : Yelah, orang penting..

Happy Me : Penting apanye? Nak ngelat pun tak bleh.. u duduk kat mana?

HT : Kat belakang ni ha.. senang nak cabut! Tidor mana?

Happy Me : Dapat bilik kat Seri Pac tapi for the time being lepak umah my sis. U?

HT : I balik umah... Tak duduk hotel.

Happy Me : Since I dah kat KL ni, bila nak belanja makan?

HT : Ish, orang Kewangan la kena belanja..

Happy Me : No hal... I ok je.. tapi u la... bz selalu.. bila nak makan? lunch? tea? dinner? supper?

HT : Sekarang pun dah lapar.. Kita lunch lepas ni kat The Mall?

Happy Me : Ok, set!

Waduh gumbiranya tak terkata! Tak sabar nak jumpa HT! But right after that, another scandal sent me a text asking me to have lunch with him. I said sorry but scheduled him for dinner instead! hahahaha.. so slutty of me! hahahahaha

When the time came, I waited in front of The Mall. I was wearing white kurung with pink sarong and a matching pink tudung. Then I saw him walking calmly and looked heartbreakingly handsome in his shiny brown baju melayu, a matching expensive songket and a songkok. We were rightly dressed for akad nikah! Kalaulah ada tok kadi waktu tu! Dah tentu aku tarik je mana2 bangla or nepal kat depan The Mall tu jadi saksi kami! huhu! =D

We were both starving. I wanted to eat rice but we needed the privacy. So, instead of going to the food court, we went to Pizza Hut. Anything, as long as I'm having the meal with him. We talked and talked. He told me of his dissatisfaction on things regarding work and I shared his frustration. Then he advised me on things.. This is what I like most about him.. He's wise and has gone through quite a lot. He always uses his experiences to guide me in doing things in my life. While we were having lunch, my eldest sister came. She knew I was having lunch with HT but she needed to pass me some things. I introduced HT to her before she made her way out. Of course, later she told me that she found HT good looking and was hoping he would be a part of our family... Wishful thinking, sis! I want that too, but somehow............

Anyway, lunch with HT was the highlight of the day! It was the best thing that happend that day because right after that precious lunch, I was hit by bad luck.... Bad things happened one after another till the clock struck 12 midnight.

HT, I really enjoyed our lunch... Next time kita pegi jumpa tok kadi pula ye? hehehehe...

cuci, basuh, cuci, basuh..

Wah... Minggu yang sangat bz.. Terlampau bz dan hectic sampai period keluar tak henti-henti! Rasa macam dah berminggu-minggu tak jumpa anak cucian! entah macam mana la mereka buat ujian cucian tu ye...?

Sepanjang minggu ni pula aku kena ke KL... Menghadiri perjumpaan tukang-tukang basuh satu malaya... Banyak perkara yang berlaku.. Memang seronok dapat berjumpa dengan kawan-kawan basuhan.. Ada yang masih ingat pada aku.. Ada juga yang buat tak tahu... Tapi, ada aku kesah??? huahuahua... Ada perbincangan yang menarik untuk mempertingkatkan kaedah basuhan dan menarik lebih minat untuk semua menjadi ahli basuhan... Dalam berbincang ada juga lawak jenaka yang 18 SX.. Tersipu2 gak aku ni.. Mana idaknya, aku ni kan masih suci lagi... Innocent la konon! huhu! Tapi ada gak perbincangan yang membosankan serta memalukan dan tak masuk akal! Masa ni aku angkat kaki berjumpa dengan skandal2 aku! hahahahaha

Sebenarnya tak sabar nak balik ke tempat cucian dan menjadi tukang cuci.. Aku ni hidup dua alam.. Pagi ke petang jadi tukang cuci... Petang ke pagi jadi tukang basuh... Dua-dua memang kerja mulia, tapi kerja yang paling orang sekeliling tak hargai... Sabor je la.. Janji aku ikhlas dan tawaduk.. insyaallah...

Aku yakin kawan2 tukang cuci semuanya merindui aku! hehehe...

Dugaan di bulan syawal....

Tak faham la..... Mengapa sesetengah orang tu, bila sudah dibantu, masih tak sedar diuntung? bukan sekali bantuan yang diberikan, malahan berkali-kali dari setiap segi! Kita cuba bantu dari setiap sumber yang kita tahu, malahan duit poket sendiri pun kita keluarkan agar keluarga yang kurang berkemampuan itu dapat makan sesuap nasi dan anak2 dapat ke sekolah.. Tup! Tup! Kita dikatakan memaksa mereka menerima bantuan tersebut? Kita pulak dikatakan tidak prihatin? Kita pula dituduh tidak memahami keperluan mereka? Sedih... kecewa... fed up... itulah yang aku rasa sekarang...

Kalau setakat bual mulut sahaja, aku boleh diamkan saja... tapi ini dah diwar-warkan dalam akhbar tempatan!!! Bukan nak mengungkit, tapi seingat aku sejak 5 tahun yang lalu, setiap kali raya, aku dan kawan2 berikan bantuan samada dari segi wang ringgit mahupun barangan keperluan. Malahan apabila anak sulungnya hendak mengambung pelajaran ke luar negara tahun lalu, aku dan kawan2 turut memberi bantuan kewangan.. Mungkin tak banyak, tetapi pasti dapat meringankan beban. Tahun ini pula, 2 orang anaknya diberikan bantuan pendidikan iaitu duit tunai untuk membayar yuran persekolahan. Untuk raya kali ini, rumahnya dicat oleh aku dan kawan2 dan sofa baru kami berikan. Separuh hari aku pergi dari sebuah kedai ke sebuah kedai perabot. Duit yang diperuntukan tak banyak, namun kerana ingin merealisasikan impian keluarga ini aku cari juga sofa yang baru, terkini tetapi mampu milik. Kerana bajet tak banyak, aku memohon kawan2 untuk menyumbangkan barangan 2nd hand yang masih baik. Hasilnya, aku dan kawan2 dapat mengumpulkan langsir yang memang cantik dan 2 helai karpet yang sedondon dengan warna sofa tersebut. Mereka kelihatan gembira apabila mendapat barangan tersebut. Aku dan kawan2 dua kali ganda gembiranya. Namun kerana kesuntukan masa, kami cuma dapat cat di bahagian depan rumah dahulu. Niat di hati, selepas raya, akan disambung semula. Baru seminggu berlalu selepas cuti raya.. Aku baru saja nak 'set time' dengan tukang cat untuk teruskan kerja2 mengecat. Tetapi kerana aku terpaksa berkursus di pantai, terpaksa dipostponekan. Tiba2 sudah keluar di dada akhbar tempatan yang aku dan kawan2 telah mengeksploitasikan keluarga ini untuk kepentingan sendiri!!! Adil ke? Patut ke? Ikut hati, hendak saja aku pergi ke rumah family itu dan bagi sepatah dua kata... Ikut emosi, nak saja tarik balik bantuan yang diberi... Ikut amarah, nak saja berhentikan bantuan selepas ini.. Tapi, bila teringatkan anak2 yang masih bersekolah itu, langkah terus jadi kaku... Memang ingin bersemuka dengan family itu, tapi aku perlu kekuatan.. aku takut didepan mereka akan berderai air mata ini... Tunggulah sahari dua lagi...

Namun kepada Allah yang maha Esa, aku berdoa, janganlah rasa kecewa ini membantutkan hasrat aku untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukan... Janganlah peristiwa ini menghalang aku untuk terus berbakti sedaya mungkin... Aku perlu tabah.. Namun hati ini memang terhiris dan menangis sendiri...

“Gempa di Padang jam 17.16, gempa susulan 17.58, esoknya gempa di Jambi jam 8.52. Coba lihat Al-Qur’an!” demikian bunyi pesan singkat yang beredar. Siapa pun yang membuka Al-Qur’an dengan tuntunan pesan singkat tersebut akan merasa kecil di hadapan Allah Swt.

Demikian ayatayat Allah Swt tersebut:

17.16 (QS. Al Israa’ ayat 16): “Dan jika Kami hendak membinasakan suatu negeri, maka Kami perintahkan kepada orang-orang yang hidup mewah di negeri itu (supaya mentaati Allah) tetapi mereka melakukan kedurhakaan dalam negeri itu, maka sudah sepantasnya berlaku terhadapnya perkataan (ketentuan Kami), kemudian Kami hancurkan negeri itu sehancur-hancurnya.”

17.58 (QS. Al Israa’ ayat 58): “Tak ada suatu negeri pun (yang durhaka penduduknya), melainkan Kami membinasakannya sebelum hari kiamat atau Kami azab (penduduknya) dengan azab yang sangat keras. Yang demikian itu telah tertulis di dalam kitab (Lauh Mahfuz).”

8.52 (QS. Al Anfaal: 52): (Keadaan mereka) serupa dengan keadaan Fir’aun dan pengikut-pengikutnya serta orang-orang sebelumnya. Mereka mengingkari ayat-ayat Allah, maka Allah menyiksa mereka disebabkan disebabkan dosa-dosanya. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Kuat lagi Amat Keras siksaan-Nya.”Tiga ayat Allah Swt di atas, yang ditunjukkan tepat dalam waktu kejadian tiga gempa kemarin di Sumatera, berbicara mengenai azab Allah berupa kehancuran dan kematian, dan kaitannya dengan hidup bermewah-mewah dan kedurhakaan, dan juga dengan keadaan Fir’aun dan pengikut-pengikutnya.

Subhanallah....

ke pantai......

Jam 3 petang nanti akan bertolak ke Lumut. Ada kursus 3 hari di sana... Tukang cuci pun kena kursus...*sigh*... Sebenarnya tak mau pegi kursus ni sebab ada baaaaaanyak kerja tak settle lagi kat tempat cucian... Tapi keranan arahan, pergi jugalah... sebab lain kenapa tak berminat nak pergi ialah dah jumpa hampir kesemua perserta kursus masa taklimat sebelum cuti raya hari tu.. Alamak, macam takde yang menarik la... Kebanyakannnya dah melebihi 45 tahun la... Tu yang takde selera tu... Hmmm... kalau HT datang, best gak! hahahahaha gataiiiiii! But then, again, mungkin ada blessing in disguise.. boleh gunakan waktu ni untuk berehat dan buat kawan baru... Dan harap-harap ada la internet line kat sana... boleh berFB kalau bosan. huhu! Must think positive and try to enjoy the course! Well, beach, here I coooooooooome!

i am baaaaaack!

wow... dah hampir 2 bulan aku tak menulis apa2 di blog ni... bukannya takde cerita, tapi... entah nape takde mood dan inspirasi untuk menulis... atau mungkin terlalu sibuk melayan FB? hehehe....

Life is still the same for me... N0w very busy with work.. A big event is coming up next weekend, thus, as the event manager, i'm giving my heart and soul to this one.. Lucky for me, my team this year is much better than the previous year... Yeah, i've been managing this event for years now... It's the most awaited annual dinner and every year i make sure it is more stupendous than the years before (apa? ingat tukang cuci tak reti bercopacobana ke?) And the theme for this year is Disney Masquerade. We are trying to bring Tarzan and his jungle into one part of the hall. There will be a small section for Narnia covered with 'snow'. The house of 'UP' has been made and is waiting to be lifted by balloons. Cinderella's castle is stiil in the progress and we have found a big mirror for Snow White's scene. Mermaid's underwater kingdom is still in blueprint and will be brouht up life next week. The ever famous Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl is ready to be assembled. Guests have been reminded to have their masks ready and encouraged to follow the theme. It's gonna be great this time around.. I'm sure of it and I am extremely excited!!!
But............ I have to attend a 3 day course next week and will be back 2 days before the event. I hope my co-event manager would be able to take care of things while i'm away... hmmmm...

Most of the time, I spent my time with my family... Mak just had a minor operation a week before raya. She had her womb removed. She's doing ok now but not as active as she used to be.. Eversince the operation, she becomes more sensitive and vulnerable. She cries easily and always looks sad. I was hoping she would be happier now that she is finally going to mecca for haj this november.. Both mak and abah are going.. We are now busy preparing stuff for haj.. However, mak acts as if she's not coming back... That worries me very much... I pray to Allah swt for mak and abah's safety. More importantly, i hope they will be able to perform their haj smoothly... insyaallah....

kebodohan yang nyata...

Hari ni ada demonstrasi pasal ISA kat KL... Yang anti ISA (pihak pembangkang - PAS, DAP, PKR) berkumpul di depan SOGO.. Yang pro ISA (NGO) berkumpul di area Central Market... Aku tak sokong mana-mana pun.. Aku tak pernah membaca buku atau risalah atau pape, yang menerangkan apa sebenarnya ISA... Aku cuma tahu ISA diwujudkan untuk memastikan keselamatan negara. ISA menahan mereka yang didapati boleh mengancam kemanan dan keselamatan negara. Aku pasti kebanyakan mereka yang menyertai demo anti ISA pun macam aku juga.. Mereka tak memahami apa-apa selain apa yang diberitahu kepada mereka.. Mereka disuapkn dengan provokasi, cerita yang tidak benar dan fakta yang telah ditunggang terbalikkan.. Bak kata seorang blogger "kita memang malas membaca...hanya mengikut...ikut pun tak tahu apa yang diikut..orang berteriak, kita berteriak, orang melompat, kita melompat tapi tak sedar seluar terlondeh, orang ketawakan kita,tapi kita terus melompat..."

Mereka memanupulasi dan dimanipulasi. Hasilnya? Demo jalanan, huru hara, gas pemedih mata, lebih ramai yang ditangkap dan ditahan pihak berkuasa. Kesannya? Menggugat ekonomi negara, menggugat keharmonian bangsa, menjadikan Malaysia sama je dengan Thailand dan Indonesia dan negara haru biru yang lain!

Dengan sedikit pengetahuan umum yang aku ada pasal ISA, aku percaya ianya patut diteruskan, namun mungkin perlaksaaannya perlu digubal balik. Walaupun kita ada undang-undang negara tetapi secara realitinya kadang-kadang kita tak boleh bergantung sepenuhnya kepada undang-undang tersebut.. Adakalanya kita terpaksa melakukan sesuatu dengan undang-undang kita sendiri asalkan kita ada valid reason for it.. Seorang kawan yang juga seorang peguam menulis "ISA bukan sahaja untuk keselamatan dalam negeri sahaaj tetapi ISA boleh menyelamatkan org kita yang sedang dalam buruan pihak luar negeri. Contohnya, ISA telah menyelamatkan Nik Abduh daripada di Guatanamo kan oleh CIA jahannam" Sebab tu la ISA diwujudkan pada pahaman aku... Tapi, mungkin caranya ada kalanya nampak tak kena dan ianya memberikan persepsi buruk kepada kerajaan memerintah.. Seperti pendapat seorang blogger "sedikit arak/wine adalah baik utk kesihatan tetapi sifat manusia yang pelupa dan tamak, maka arak telah disalahgunakan, maka ianya diharamkan oleh allah swt. begitu juga ISA yg asalnya untuk menyekat dan menghapuskan pengaruh komunis telah disalahgunakan dan berlaku penyelewengan" Sebab itulah aku rasa ianya patut digubal semula dan dimurnikan.

Walau apapun, aku memang tak setuju kaedah demo jalanan digunakan. Ianya langsung tidak memberi jalan penyelesaian. Aku tak faham kenapa para pengdemo ni tidak berjumpa sahaja dengan pemimpin atasan, duduk berbincang dan memberikan cadangan-cadangan bernas untuk meleraikan kemelut ISA ini... Kenapa mereka tidak boleh menjadi rasional dan profesional? Mengapa mesti menggunakan emosi dan bertindak bodoh? Tapi tahu tak apa yang lebih bodoh dan mengecewakan? Seperti kata seorang temanku "yang paling menyedihkan ialah...yang bersusah payah berdemo nanti..majoritinya org2 melayu dan yang bakal mendapat faedah daripada jika ISA dihapuskan ialah majoritinya pelampau-pelampau Cina dan India (termasuklah segelintir kecil melayu) contohnya hindraf dll...sekali lagi org2 melayu diperalat... " Bangsaku DIPERALATKAN! Dan mereka langsung tidak menyedarinya! Itulah yang paling mengecewakan.. :(

Stop.. Look.. Go..

I've been thinking... What I feel about HT is not healthy... What I have with HT is not healthy... What I hope to have with HT is not healthy... We are both healthy people but we cannot be US because it will be awfully unhealthy! That's it! I shall put a STOP to everything! May God give me the strength to do so...

walau jauh beribu batu...

Berikut adalah perbualan sms antara aku dan HT petang tadi. Dia telah pun sampai di Tokyo, lebih 24 jam yang lalu..

1637 Aku rindu: u tengah makan sushi ke?

1640 HT jauh: hehe.. Tengah bergurau senda ngan minah jepun

1643 Aku rindu: Eeeee..... Menci! :P Menurut pak nujum, bulan ni bukan masa yang sesuai untuk berada di Jepun.. Baik u balik m'sia cepat!

1644 HT jauh: Ur hp ada 3g ke?

1646 Aku rindu: Ada. But I tengah drive.. Lg 10minit sampai umah.

Aku tipu sebenarnya! aku sampai umah lebih kurang 2 minit selepas sms terakhir. Sengaja aku tak bagi dia call awal sebab 2 perkara :

1. Aku nak pastikan 3G aku ok. Baru pagi tadi di tempat kerja aku aktifkan 3G aku.. Hmmm.. macam tau-tau je akan ada pangilan 3G dari Tokyo! Ahaks..

2. Nak reapply bedak and lipstik! Muka berminyak sioooottt!

So, aku pun telefon Kak Bunga dengan menggunakan 3G. Dia nampak aku, aku nampak aku! Confirm 3G aku baoleh digunapakai. Pastu aku pun touch up muka, betulkan tudung dan make sure takde cili or daging ayam or apa-apa sisa makanan terlekat kat gigi. Bila dah puas hati...

1659 Aku rindu: Ok, dah sampai umah

Seminit lepas tu, hp aku berbunyi.. Terus aku angkat.. Tak sabar nak tengok muka hensem tu.. Tapi.. entah nape, tak keluar apa2.. cuma ada satu bunyi yg panjang macam bunyi mesin faks. Adus! Ni mesti 3G aku yg problem ni! Terus aku end the call. Pastu aku buat video call kat dia.. and he picked up.. And I saw him.. He was on his bed. He laughed sheepishly. I laughed nervously too. He looked soooo good looking in his white and blue striped sweatshirt. His hair was uncombed which gave him a naughty look. Pastu dia tunjukkan pandangan dari hotel dia. I could see the crowded city through his hp. Dia terangkan sikit pasal tempat tu.. Dia kata kalau dia pergi tempat yang menarik lepas ni, dia akan buat video call.. so, aku tak payah le pergi Jepun katanya... Terus aku buat suara merajuk! hehehe... Then he showed me his room. It was quite big and nice. Minah jepun yg dia cakap tadi tu actually from the TV. Then he went back to the bed. Once in a while he nervously brushed his hair using his fingers. The bed was huge but he slept there alone... hmm.. that gave me a kinky idea!!! hahahaha... Then he explained bout his trip. Sekarang ni di akat tokyo.. Esok dia akan bergerak ke Kyoto. Lepak sana a few days, pastu gerak ke Hiroshima.. Pastu ke another city yang aku tak ingat namanya.. pastu baru balik M'sia next wednesday... Hmmm... lamanya Wednesday tu nak datang! ahak.. ahak..

Anyway, dapat le jugak aku melepaskan rindu pada dia.... harap dia tak nakal-nakal di negara matahari terbit tu! hik hik hik... =D

bahagia dalam bahaya atau bahaya dalam bahagia?

He finally called me around 4pm today. He said he couldnt call earlier for he was with family members and 'tak selesa nak bercakap dgn family' katanya... Anyway, we talked about yesterday's programme . He sais everything was ok and boss seemed very supportive. About my speech, he was very impressed of my skill in meng'AMPU'ing my boss! hahahaha... he got it rite though! I did a lot of mengampuing.. but, who cares? The boss liked it and I emerged the winner! Need I to say more? hehe... Then I asked him about his trip to Japan. Apparently he would be there for 9 days starting tomorrow. He would only be back next wednesday. Actually he was supposed to go yesterday. But, because of my programme, his partner went first and he would only leave tomorrow. Isn't that sweet? Ni yang buat aku jatuh makin dalam ni.... BAHAYA... Keadaan semakin bahaya... Tapi..... BAHAGIA !!!! Macam mana ni?

of high and low...

Alhamdulillah everything went well today... Walaupun ada a few hiccups in the programme, they were minor and subtle that just a handful of guests noticed them.

The day started with the important breakfast with the BIG shot which turned out to be warm and meaningful. Then I rushed to the meeting hall for the rehearsal. In between rehearsal and last minute patching up preparation, I managed to write my speech. At first I planned to do it without a written script. I tried to speak from my heart, but I couldnt. I usually fail to give an impromptu speech in front of my boss, and knowing HT would be there, had just made it worse!

HT came around 3.15pm. My jaw dropped when he walked out of the lift. He looked stunningly good looking in his casual batik that wrapped up his tough body just nicely. His tall figure filled the room. He looked straight at me and I smiled broadly. I hope he didn't see how widen my eyes were and how gatal my smile was when he was approaching me. I said hi and ushered him to the hall. A lot of people had already taken their seats. I showed HT where he was supposed to sit on the stage. Then I went down to wait for my boss. He joined me afterwards. Boss was a bit late and I was freaking out. No, not because he was late, but because I was so damn nervous!!! HT was with me but we didnt say much for there were other people with us. Yup, we are usually like that.. pretending we were acquaintance rather than friends in front of people. Boss finally came and we ushered him to the hall. We took our seat. Boss was in the middle of course and I was on his right. HT was on the far left. After reciting doa and singing the National Anthem, it was my turn to give my speech. Gosh, was I nervous!!! But, surprisingly I was able to hide it and sounded confident. The speech was unexpectedly superb! Boss said so! Well, he didnt say that to my face of course, but he told some of his officers and the words came back to me! I was over the hill! And... HT had his eyes fixed on me the whole 7 minutes of my speech! I hope he was finding it good as well and was impressed with me!

During the refreshment, I was sandwiched by the boss on my right and and HT on my left. I pretended to be cool but inside, my heart was blooming like a field of roses in spring! He casually took my cup and filled it with tea. And I casually took his plate and scooped some fried meehoon onto it. He ate it all, I, on the other hand, just took one karipap. I was still nervous to eat more. And then HT dropped the bombshell! He was going to Japan on Monday! Without me!!! He was not taking me with him! I had told him over and over again how I wanted to go there! With him!! I was sad but I hid it. Menci!!!

He left 10 minutes before boss left. I went back to the hall and resumed my programme. By 7.10pm I was done with everything and was awfully famished. With some friends, I went for dinner. Called HT to know his whereabouts, and found out he was already in his kampung meeting up his family and friends. He promised to call when he got the time. It was already 10pm. He didnt reply my sms nor did he call. I'm sleepy now.. But I'm happy and the memory of this afternoon was playing vividly in my mind. I'm soaring high and higher... at the same time falling deep and deeper.. Is that good?

dak... dik.... dup....

Hati ini berdebar sepanjang hari.. esok aku akan bertemu dengan si dia yang Hensem Tinggi.. Tadi dia dah menelefon ku untuk mengconfirmkan waktu dan tempat pertemuan... Bukan, kami bukan bertemu untuk makan tengahari atau minum petang atau makan malam (walaupun itu yang aku inginkan.. gatal kan? hehe..) kami bertemu untuk satu program.. aku yang buat program tu dan dia adalah sponsor utama.. dan apa yang lebih membuatkan aku berdebar ialah aku perlu berucap di depan dia!!! Inilah pertama kali aku akn berucap depan HT! Inilah pertama kali dia akan mendengar aku berucap! Dia mesti seronok nak dengar ucapan aku.. Aku plak dah rasa setengah mati dah ni! Sekarang dah jam 6 petang.. teks ucapan tak siap lagi.. Malam ni pula ada program.. Mungkin jam 11 malam baru balik... Seawal 8 pagi esok pula perlu ke airport untuk menyambut ketibaan *** dan mungkin breakfast terus dengan dia dan isteri. Program yang aku buat dengan HT pula start 3.30 petang.. Adus, sempat ke akau nak buat speech yang bagus ni? Fenin! Fenin!

p/s: Jangan main-main, tukang cuci pun kena berucap!!!

panggilan bahagia..

Bahagianya hari ni... HT called!!! I was toiling with FB when my phone rang. Was surprised to see his number and let it rang for a while.. tak nak le angkat cepat sangat.. takut nampak gelojoh! hehe..

Aku bahagia : Akum

HT pujaan : Wslm. Kat mana?

Aku bahagia : Kat umah

HT pujaan : Buat apa?

Aku bahagia: Tengah ngadap skrin laptop... surf internet.

HT pujaan : Tak datang MU ke?

Aku bahagia : Tak.

HT pujaan : Nape?

Aku bahagia : Entah.. Macam malas la.. U kat mana ni?

HT pujaan : I kat MU la.. I ingat u ada kat sini..

Fuiyo... HT cari aku kat MU! Dia berharap berjumpa aku di MU! Aku sedang terbang... terbang tinggi.. huhu!

Aku bahagia : La... ye ke? I memang tak de plan nak g sana. Memang ada yang bertanya minta I pergi, tak pun hantar bebudak I ke sana.. tapi, biarlah.. biar orang tempatan yang buat kerja. U buat apa kat sana?

HT pujaan : I ikut Dato' ****. I ingat u dan kwan2 ada kat sini..

Aku bahagia : U sampai kat sana bila?

HT pujaan : Baru sampai semalam. I ingat esok nak balik lah..

Aku bahagia : Cepatnya?

HT pujaan : Boringlah.. bukannya ada u dan lelain...

Dan aku terbang terus ke bulan...

Dan kami terus bersembang... tapi kemudiannya terpaksa cut short because he had on coming call.

About 20 minutes later, he called again.. and we continued talking.. At one point he asked me bout my friend M whom he met last week. She asked for financial contribution from his company to organize educational programs for kindergarten kids. Dengan selamba aku cakap kat dia "U jangan kerap sangat jumpa M nanti I jeles!" hehehe... gelojoh tak aku? He just laughed at my statement... pastu tetiba terputus... tapi, dalam seminit he called again and we resumed our conversation... I told him that he forgot wishing me on my birthday. He apologised guiltily. I said he must compensate it with a return ticket to Tokyo. Again he laughed that merry laugh. Dan aku terus terbang tinggi dan hati berbunga-bunga dan muka berseri-seri.

Aku pasti aku akan mimpi indah malam ni.. Jangan mimpi basah sudah la! huahuahua...

Terima kasih HT kerana menelefon... Terima kasih kerana mengingati... Kau selalu di hati...

kena ganti la..

Hari ni aku pose... pose ganti... 8 hari aku tinggal pose tahun lepas... baru ari ni nak start... Tapi alhamdulillah, tak rasa penat sangat walaupun banyak berjalan dan bercakap.. Pastu drive sana sini menyelesaikan beberapa 'field work'. Sampai umah pun dah dekat pukul 5. Mak masak simple je.. Aku tak kisah sangat asalkan ada telur goreng jadilah.. Mak pun pose gak ari ni.. Asalnya nak pose isnin dan khamis je.. tapi tadi waktu tengah berbuka, my brother called. He was at the pasar malam and asked what do we want. Mak order jagung rebus dan aku order keropok lekor. Tapi, bila dia datang umah, dia bagi sekali dgn tiga bungkus nasi lemak daun pisang. So, now dah kenyang kebuntat! Nasi lemak tu akan dijadikan sahur kejap lagi.. Maka, terpaksalah pose lagi esok.. bagus la juga kan? cepat skit habis gantinya! hehe...

Ok, nasi lemak dah memanggil-manggil... jemput makan... =D

deroyan oh deroyan

Rasanya aku ni bukan le hantu deroyan sangat... kalau ada, makan. Kalau takde, tak le kemaruk sangat nak membelinya.. Tapi entah nape kali ni, tersangat le giler nak makan deroyan. Masa mula-mula musim deroyan bermula lebih kurang 2-3 minggu lepas, aku cool je... tak nak beli lagi sebab tau harga mesti mahal sebab buah tak banyak lagi.. Sekarang dah murah skit.. buah pun elok-elok.. So, aku pun bagi duit kat abah suruh beli durian.. Abah memang terror bab beli durian ni.. kalau aku yang pegi beli, dah tentu kena tipu hidup-hidup dek penjual tu..

Hari pertama abah beli, aku makan sebiji buah durian.. ada lebih kurang 12 ulasnye.. bagi orang lain, apalah sangat sebiji tu kan? Tapi, bagi aku, dah dikira banyak dah tu.. selalunya aku makan dalam 6-8 ulas je.. Pastu esoknya aku suruh abah beli lagi.. Balik keje je mesti makan.. Pastu aku suruh lagi abah beli.. Walaupun perut kenyang macam mana pun, kalau ada durian dalam rumah, mesti telan gak at least 5-6 ulas... ish.. ish.. not healthy, but i cant help it la... hehe..

Tadi makan lagi deroyan.. abah kata esok nak beli lagi! yum! yum! sedapnye deroyan!!!

lean on me

I had never watched 'LEAN ON ME'. I knew it was a good movie. Well, almost all Morgan Freeman's movies are good and worth watching. So, today, while I was browsing the movies on Astro, I saw that particular title queeing up for the next show. Got all my house chores done and then I was ready in front of the tube.

It was a very moving story. I was overwhelmed by the determination of Mr. Joe Clark (Freeman) as the principal to change his school and his students for the betterment no matter what the obstacles were. I cried watching the movie, boleh??? hehe.. semakin tua semakin vulnerable and touchy lah... hmm....

Anyway, below is one of Clark's brilliant speeches which I got from one of the websites:

Next time it may be you. If you do no better than they did (referring to the students cum gangsters and drug dealers who were just being expelled) , next time it will be you. They said this school was dead, like the cemetery it's built on. But we call our East Side teams "ghosts," don't we? And what are ghosts? Ghosts are spirits that rise from the dead. I want you to be my ghosts. You are going to lead our resurrection by defying the expectation that all of us are doomed to failure.

My motto is simple: If you do not succeed in life, I don't want you to blame your parents. I don't want you to blame the white man! I want you to blame yourselves! The responsibility is yours!!In two weeks we have a practice exam and a minimum basic skills test on April 13th. That's a hundred and ten school days from now. But it's not just about those test scores. If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out! Locked out of that American Dream that you see advertised on TV -- that they tell you is so easy to get.

You are here for one reason -- one reason only: To learn, to work for what you want. The alternative is to waste your time and to fall into the trap of crime, drugs, and death. Does everyone understand that? Do all of you understand me?! Then welcome to the new East Side High!

BURST in laughter...

I woke up feeling good and grateful to Allah Taala knowing that I can still feel my heart beating. After 34 years, I am still alive and kicking. Syukur alhamdulillah.

I drove to my work place with a huntch that it was going to be a great day. And I was right. I was in charge of assembling anak-anak cucian for this week. Lady Boss was present and gave a short speech to anak-anak cucian. When I asked them to disperse, they gave me a surprise by singing 'Happy Birthday'! I was speechless. Didn't see it coming. I was touched and overwhelmed. Lady Boss was surprised too. She wished me and said I was lucky to have a nice surprise from our anak-anak cucian.

So, it was a good start for my 'burst'day.. Everybody kept on wishing me the whole day and I continuously receiving wishes through sms from family and friends. I got 5 slices of cheesecake, an organiser, boxes of chocolate from anak-anak cucian and kawan-kawan cucian. I laughed the whole day. There was always something that made me laugh. I was feeling great. When I got to Facebook, I recieved numerous birthday wishes from friends. I spent hours thanking each one of them.

I just got back from dinner with two close friends and their kids. They are husband and wife. I have known the husband all my life and he is just like a brother to me. I became friend with the wife about 9 years ago and since then we became good friends. I introduced both of them to one another and now they are happily married. Alhamdulillah. Anyway, they took me to this new Thai restaurant. They ordered a lot of food, macam nak bagi makan satu kampung! The food was just ok la, but the presentation was superb.

So, that was how I spent my birthday. Simple. No celebration. Just dinner. But I felt good.. and that is all that matters... ;D

birthday eve

Esok birthday aku.. tapi kena keje... memang tak patut! Hampezz tahap gaban! Tadi keluar dinner with a dear friend.. No, no it was not HT, though I wish it was him instead! It was a lady friend whose birthday is today- 26 June. For years we tried to celebrate our birthdays together, but never had the chance to do so.. Entah macam mana malam ni tetiba ada rezeki plak nak keluar sama-sama. Just the two of us. We had a nice dinner at Secret Recipe je... Since we had not been able to menganyam ketupat (bergosip a.k.a mengumpat) for quite some time (sebab masing-masing busy dan jarang dapat jumpa) so, tonite we talked and talked and talked sampai nak tutup le Secret Recipe tu! We were the last ones to leave the restaurant, boleh? hehe... Anyway, Happy Burstday KM!

Al- fatihah

Sebentar tadi baru je terima panggilan telefon dari seorang sahabat.. Abahnya yang menderita barah hati akhirnya menghembuskan nafas terakhir pada jam 6.50 petang. Pakcik Z dah 2-3 bulan terlantar di atas katil... 3-4 kali juga aku melawatnya.. Setiap kali pun menitis air mata melihat keadaannya yang semakin teruk saban hari.. Kali terakhir melawatnya perutnya dah semakin kembung kerana hati yang bengkak.. mata dan seluruh badan dah bertukar warna kuning.. Kepada sahabat aku tu, aku nasihatkan supaya bersedia untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan, kerana melihatkan keadaannya aku tau, dah tak lama dah untuk dia pergi menemui penciptanya. Senang diucapkan dengan kata-kata, tetapi yang menanggungnya saja yang tahu kesedihan menyedari masa yang ada semakin berlalu pergi..

Pakcik Z aku anggap macam bapa aku sendiri.. Dia banyak membantu dan menyokong aku dan kawan-kawan dalam kerja amal kami. Dia seorang yang ceria dan selalu berjenaka. Seorang yang sangat disenangi dan sentiasa tersenyum. Kerana itu kehilangannya dirasai dan diratapi. Namun daripada dia terus menderita sakit, adalah baik dihentikan kesengsaraannya. Apa sahaja yang terbaik untuk Pakcik Z.

Sahabat aku ini sangat rapat dan manja dengan abahnya ini. Selalu nyanyi karaoke di rumah bersama.. selalu dia mengikut abahnya ke kenduri-kenduri kawin sebab abahnya ada buat bisnes PA system dan karaoke kecil-kecilan. Memang susah untuk dia berpisah dengan abahnya. Berat mata memandang, berat lagi mata memikul. Tambahan pula abahnya pergi pada Hari Bapa Sedunia. Memang tragis. Aku doakan roh allahyarham Pakcik Z dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang-orang beriman. Aku doakan sahabat aku ni dan ahli keluarganya dapat mengharungi hari-hari muka dengan penuh ketabahan da kekuatan. Aku dokan yang terbaik untuk semua. Amin.

untuk HT

It's HT's birthday today... No, I did not celebrate with him.. I did not throw a big, fancy party for him.. I did not arrange a romantic candle-lit diner with him.. I did not buy him an expensive gift.. I wanted to do all those.. I would love to do all those! If I could, I would! But I am not in the position to do so... All I did was wishing him Happy Birthday through the phone. He thanked me politely. Then I said 'Moga panjang umur, murah rezeki dan bertambah hensem lagi'. He laughed sheepishly. And I wished him to have a great day ahead. That was all... The phone call was short. sweet and simple... I shouldn't ask for more, but I want more! I want MORE! However, for the time being, I just have to be happy with how things are...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HT... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAYANG.. ;D

hari ini kau datang lagi.... ;D

Hari ini aku dah catatkan dalam diari aku (yang sebenarnya tak wujud, hehe..) untuk bertemu dengan orang-orang penting di Putrajaya. Walaupun aku ni kerja tukang cuci aje, sebagai tuan tanah Malaysia ni, aku dah hak untuk bertemu orang-orang berpangkat besau kat sana. Aku perlulah tahu dan minta hak aku kan? Aku plan mende ni sejak minggu lepas lagi.

Pada asalnya ada 12 orang dalam rombongan kami. First stop was MOY. We reached there aopund 11.45am, 45 minutes earlier than our appoinment, so, lepak dan minum dulu kat kafeterianya. Then we went up to the ** floor. Aku dianggap orang penting la dalam rombongan kitorang ni sebab aku yang initiate dan merancang segala-galanya.. echeh! Rupanya orang penting yang kami jumpa ni badannya je kecil tapi berwawasan besar! Suka bercakap plak tu.. Nasib baik comel! hahaha... We had a good discussion on ****. By 2pm, the discussion was getting more heated. Aku dah resah because our next appoinment was at 2.3opm dekat MOE pulak! Terus aku amik handphone and reschedule appoinment ke 3pm. Aah, nasib baik orang MOE ok and tak marah.. Still, there goes my first impression with them.

After lunch at MOY, bergegas kitorang ke MOE. On the way ke sana, sorang kawan aku ni tanya samada aku boleh tolong fix kan date untuk dia berjumpa HT. Dia perlukan bantuan HT untuk program yang dia nak buat. Actually, beberapa kawan searena denagn aku ni, dah pernah berjumpa HT. Oleh kerana HT memegang jawatan penting dalam ***, maka dia banyak membantu kawan2 aku dalam merealisasikan impian mereka.. err.. sikit lebih kurang la.. hehe... Mendengar request kawan aku ni, aku pun tak buang masa dan terus call HT - bagaikan orang ngantuk disorongkan bantal!. He picked up the phone. Aku pun cerita kat dia yg aku dan kekawan ada di Putrajaya dan kami ada beberapa appoinment di sini. So, happen dia pun nak berjumpa dengan orang besau MOF, who was my third appoinment! So, kami pun berjanji untuk berjumpa di Shangri-La Hotel 5 petang nanti! Aku dah di awang-awangan dah! Dah melayang-layang! Another opportunity to see him!

CUT!!! CUT!!!

Ok, ok, back to my second appoinment - MOE. This is my favourite place and the guy that we met was comel bangattttt! (tapi HT tetap di hatiku). Aku dah beberapa kali bercakap dalam phone dan bersms dgn mamat MOE ni, tapi inilah kali pertama kitorang jumpa. He turned out to be very warm, friendly and kelakar! Rupanya, he is MY AGE! Patut la kitorang ada same wavelength! And he was born in JUNE jugak! HT pun lahir bulan JUNE jugak macam aku!!! Tak syak lagi, rakyat yang lahir bulan JUNE ni memang comel, baik, friendly dan menarik!!! hehehe..... Ok, bukan tu aje, aku turut terkejut badak, bila dapat tahu yang mamat MOE ni belajar satu universiti dengan aku dan tinggal di kampus yang sama! Malah kami grad pada tahun yang sama!!! (tukang cuci pun kena ada degree tau!) Ish, macam manalah aku boleh tak jumpa dia dulu ek? ish..ish..ish.. Anyway, memang best sembang dan berbincang dengan mamat MOE ni.. He was very helpful la, banyak keje2 kitorang yang boleh dipermudahkan lepas ni... Insyaallah...

We left MOE and headed to Shangri-La hotel to meet Mr.$ from MOF. My heart was already berdegup kencang... Tak lama lagi aku akan berjumpa kekasih gelapku! huhu! gatazzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Mr.$ was a bit late. We ordered food. We were waiting for our chocolate cake, hawaiian pizza, banana split, fries, mushroom soup, ais kacang and teh tarik to arrive, when I saw him! My HT! Tersenyum lebar aku. Terus dia datang dan duduk disebelah aku. Bergegar dunia batinku!!!! Aku kenalkan kawan2 aku pada dia. Ada yang dia dah jumpa (dia tak berapa ingat pun... dia ingat aku je! huhu!!!), ada yang baru pertama kali jumpa. Dia bawa seorang kawan dengan dia, tapi tak begitu penting! hehe.. Dan kami bersembang dan minum dan berbincang. Memandangkan aku datang kerana soal kerja, maka aku jadi profesional. Aku sembunyikan kegedikan aku. Simpan kuku beb! Padahalnya, aku dah dekat sangat untuk memeluk dia! haha... Anyway, bebarapa kawan aku tu membuat beberapa permintaan pada dia.. Semua dia cakap ok.. Takde satu pun dia cakap tak boleh.. Aaahh... My kind prince... Camne lah nak fall out of love dengan HT kalau dia sentiasa charming macam ni?

Kami kemudiannya terpaksa bertukar meja, sebab tak muat untuk Mr.$ nanti. Masa tukar meja ni lah, aku dan HT terpisah. Dia di sebelah sana dan aku disebelah sini.. Tapi mata sentiasa bertautan.. Aku bukan nak perasan, tapi ada beberapa kali I caught him looking at me! Adus, bahagianya!!! Bila pizza datang, dia tolong potongkan untuk semua. The biggest portion dia bagi kat aku. Aku menolak manja..

Aku manja : HT, I nak yang kecik tu je la...

HT : Alaa.. U kan nak balik ipoh kejap lagi.. nanti U lapar pulak dalam perjalanan.. (how sweet!!)

Aku manja : Alaa.. kalau I lapar nanti, I singgahlah kat Rawang, makan kat umah U, boleh? (see, gedik tak aku???)

HT : Boleh... (tersenyum lebar)

Tapi, kemudiannya Mr.$ sampai, so aku bagi the big portion of pizza tu to him and I took the smallest one.. Then the pep talk began... Macam aku cakap tadi, acapkali juga aku berlaga mata dengan HT. Dan setiap kali, kami samada angkat kening atau tersenyum manja to each other. I was in cloud 9 again!!! Selesai perbincangan, HT panggil waiter, dia yang belanja petang tu. How generous of him! And I was falling deeper and deeper for him! We then went up to the lobby. We shook hand with everybody. Seingat aku, aku sangat jarang bersentuhan dengan HT, so this time, I seized the golden opprtunity. I went to him and presented my hand. He took it and we shook hands. It was brief but enough to lift me up to the sky! I got into the car and waved to him. He waved and smiled sheepishly. Aku? Terus tersenyum sehingga kami keluar dari Putrajaya.

Aahh, menariknya hari ni... Bahagianya hari ini... Gembiranya hari ini...

Moga perancangan bersama MOY diberkati..

Moga beroleh manafaat dan kejayaan bersama MOE..

Moga MOF menghasilkan rezeki..

Moga ada jodoh untuk bertemu HT lagi..

Ameen...

my Sonnet 18

Tanggal 4 Jun 2009 yang lalu....

Sudah 3 hari aku di KL.. Namun, aku masih belum memaklumkan HT yang aku sudah tiba di hutan batu tu... Bukannya tak mahu.. tapi takut kalau tak dapat berjumpa juga kali ni, mesti aku frust giler... Hari ini aku dah berjanji untuk berjumpa dengan Sugar, Mr. Vogue dan Huggies. Sebab aku tak bawa kereta (lagipun aku bukannya tau sangat jalan2 kat KL ni..), aku naik tren je dan Sugar akan ambil aku di stesen yang dah kitorang pilih. Dan sewaktu menunggu Sugar ambil aku itulah aku tanpa berfikir panjang terus mengsms HT:-

Salam. HT, cuba teka I kat mana? ;)

Tak sampai 39 saat... 'so, I wont hesitate. No more, no more, I'm yours' peeerrrggghhhhhh! HT call aku!!! Terus tersenyum lebar aku...

Aku manja : Hello, Assalamualaikum.

HT : W'salam. U kat KL ye?

Aku manja : A'ah.. kat KL...

HT : U kat mana ni?

Aku manja : Kat *****. Tengah tunggu my friend.

HT : U dah makan dah?

Aku manja : Err... makan tengahari belum la..

HT : Jom makan dengan I kat Times Square?

Aku manja : Oh, Ok. Tapi, I dengan kawan I. Nanti I tanya dia dulu ek..
HT : Kawan u tu boyfriend u ke?

Aku manja : tak la.. Kawan I perempuan. Lagipun, U kan boyfriend I..? (top scorer in flirtation lines!!! huhu!)

HT : tertawa comel

Aku manja : Ok, I tanya kawan I dulu, pastu I get back to U ya?

HT : Ok.

And of course when I asked Sugar she said YES! So, aku pun call balik abang HTku dan kami janji untuk berjumpa di Times Square in half an hour.

Sewaktu naik escalator ke tingkat 3 Times Square itulah aku ternampak dia sedang sabar menunggu. Mata bertaut, hati tertusuk dan bibir tersenyum. Aku melambai manja kepadanya. Gosh, he looked so damn hot in his yellow shirt, gold necktie, dark pants and spikey hair. Boy, he looked so delicious that I wanted to forget about lunch and eat him instead!

I said 'hi' and introduced Sugar to him. He asked whether it was ok if we have steamboat for lunch. Aaaahh HT, dont you know, meeting you is more important and tempting than food? I said OK of course, and then, three of us walked to the restaurant. I dont really like his choice of the dining place actually, but as i said earlier being with him makes everything looks great! Aawww......

The lunch was splendid. We talked about work, politics and ntah la apa lagi... I didnt eat much.. I mean, I could have eaten more but I did not.. Segan siuuttttt! hahaha... Tapi, tanpa rasa malu aku tangkap gambar dia guna handphone, boleh? Adus, tahap kegatalan yang melampau dah aku ni!! Aaaaarrggggghhh... Mengapalah lambat aku berjumpa dengan dia? Sekarang dia dah berpunya dan aku...? Gigit jari ajelah.... The flirtation is going no where, I know.. but I just can't help it! I like him! God, I want him!!!! I'm sick, I know.....!

Tak tahulah macam mana nak decribe perasaan aku semasa lunch tu.. Bercampur baur! Gembira, dah tentulah kan? Setelah sekian lama, baru kali ni dapat bersama walau pun 2 jam aje... Di awang-awangan tu confirm! Melayang-layang di awanan cinta! Rasa teruja nak peluk dia pun ada gak, tapi aku control, berusaha menjaga air muka... Tapi..., sedih pun ada sebab tak dapat memiliki. Bersalah pun ya juga kerana macam menganiaya kaum sendiri. Rasa pasrah dah pasti atas takdir Illahi... hmmmm......

HT akhirnya memanggil waiter untuk bil meja kami. Dia perlu kembali ke pejabat dan aku dan Sugar meneruskan misi becopa cobana kami.. Kami berjalan ke escalator. Sugar, being a fantastic friend, pushed me to walk side by side with him. She tried to be invisible behind us. The parting part was brief. I wanted to hold his hand. Wanted to tell him how much I enjoyed seeing and being with him. Wanted to confess to him that he meant a lot to me. Instead, both Sugar and I just thanked him for lunch, we smiled to each other then he walked away leaving me feeling bereft.

Bila lagi boleh jumpa ya? Bila lagi boleh bersama ya? Bila lagi......?

I was sad seeing him diappeared in the crowd but I was glad I sent him the text that led us to a steamy lunch with unbearable temptations!

HT darling, I am no Shakespeare but you are definitely my Sonnet 18!

Syoknye cuti!!!

It was a nice break... no, no.. let me rephrase that. It was a syok one!

It was good to finally be able to spend time with my nephew and nieces. We didn't do much actually.. Just went for breakfast and lunches (I had my dinners with friends), watched tv together, did grocery shopping at the hypermarket and had little chats in the car on their way to their extra classes in school and tuition classes. Enough to pull us a little bit closer!

I enjoyed my dinner with Mr. Lawyer who just got back from South Africa. Yup, he went to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Not only my eyes turned green when he told me 'bout his stupendous trip to those places, I actually could feel my whole body turning to that colour! I was extremely jealous and mad! Jealous becoz he went there, and mad becoz he didn't tell me in the first place. I got to know about it from Facebook!!! Some friend he is!

My outing with Sugar was fun! Even though our initial plan, which was to visit Huggies (the one who just lost his leg due to diabetes) was cancelled at the very last minute, we still enjoyed every ticking from 12.03pm t0 err.. 8.57pm! And the most fantabulous thing is, our outing started with a steamy lunch with MY HT! Oh yes, I met HT and Sugar got to meet him too! Gosh, he was looking extremely handsome and charming and... CHUPPP!!! Will tell u guys more about my dream-come-true lunch in the next entry ya! *wink*. Anyway, Sugar and I had our little sweaty adventure in Times Square - we forgot where we parked the car in that huge building! Actually it was my fault for I led Sugar to the wrong escalator.. Well, what can I say... I was busy talking to HT that I got confused with the escalator! hehe.. Sorry, Sugar! But it was a good exercise wasn't it? We managed to burn some calories! hehehe... After the wonderful lunch, we hit Isetan in KLCC and Sugar cum Ms. Shopaholic bought herself two pairs of sexy shoes and 3 pairs of gorgeous tops and one elegant long skirt! Me? I was happy with just one nice top. But the trying part was really fun.. I believe we spent nearly TWO hours trying out ALMOST ALL (a bit exaggerating here, I know.. hehe) the outfits there! The salesgirl was very sweet and honest in giving her opinion on our fitting session. I nearly bought the same long skirt that Sugar bought, but the sweet salesgirl said "akak kata akak dah ada skirt hitam kan? so, tak payah la beli yang ni.." Boleh? Kalau bos u dengar dik, abis u...!!! But, thanks dik! Jimat duit akak! huhu! During dinner we were joined by Mr. Vogue. He updated us on Huggies' condition. Hmm... We really sympathised with him... Hope he's doing much better now... And to Sugar, WE SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN!!!

I managed to have a quick breakfast with Honey and her cute son at Dome, The Curve. We had tea together a few days before when she came to Ipoh. We didn't eat much but more on talking. And the same happened during breakfast. We talked and talked and talked.. hehe.. Girls are indisputably good at that!

On my last night in KL, my cousin took me out for a quick dinner and a movie. We ate Nando's quarter chicken, fries and salad in 11minutes je, boleh?!!! Well, that was because Terminator: Salvation was waiting for us! We left home quite early but we got stuck in traffic (KL, tau je la kan?), PLUS, we took quite some time finding the cinema in that gargantuan Pavilion! (Nape la diorang ni suka buat shopping complexes besar-besar sangat? penat berjalan la woi!!!). I must admit that I wasn't thrilled when my cousin told me that we were to watch Connor and his friends fighting some machines, but the movie turned out to be good! Rasa macam tak berkelip je mata ni tengok citer tu... Those who haven't watched it, better book the tickets now!!! Highly recommended!

So, that was pretty much what I did during my 5 days stay in KL. Hope I could do it more often! With more friends hopefully!!! ;D

leaving the cleaning up behind..

In conjuction with the school break, I'm taking a break too... Not going anywhere special. Just to KL to meet up with some friends and visit a dear friend who just had his right leg amputated due to diabetes... That's a real tragic la.. losing your leg at such a young age when you have a lot of things in front of you... Hope he's doing ok..

I'd better start packing now.. will be leaving in a few hours.. Adios!

kalau tak sedar juga, tak tahulah nak kata apa lagi..

Tadi ada menerima email dari seorang teman.. Menarik! Sarat dengan kebenaran! Fikir-fikirkanlah....

Subjek: Kisah Benar Seorang Tan Sri

Dalam sebuah majlis, seorang usahawan berbangsa Cina yang juga bergelar Tan Sri sedang ditemuramah oleh seorang wartawan. Duduk berdekatannya adalah 2 orang jurutera, anak beranak berketurunan India yang bekerja dengan syarikat Tan Sri tersebut. Berikut adalah perbualan mereka:-

Tan Sri: Kerajaan perlu bertindak adil dalam pengagihan kek ekonomi negara. Tidak boleh ada diskriminasi terhadap kaum bukan Melayu. Kontrak antara orang Melayu dan bukan Melayu mesti diberikan sama rata demi keadilan. Lagipun bangsa kami banyak menyumbang kepada kemajuan negara walaupun kami digelar sebagai kaum pendatang. Setelah bersusah payah semenjak sebelum merdeka, maka wajarkah kami dinafikan hak sebagai warganegara. Orang Melayu perlu lebih berkompromi dengan kaum lain untuk maju. Liberalisasi perlu dilaksanakan dengan meluas dalam semua sektor demi mencapai kesamarataan antara kaum.

Wartawan: Tan Sri, boleh saya tahu sudah berapa lama 2 orang jurutera ini bekerja dengan Tan Sri?

Tan Sri: Oh...sudah lama. Praba ni dah bekerja dengan saya hampir 30 tahun sejak syarikat ni ditubuhkan lagi. Malah anaknya pun sekarang bekerja dengan saya lebih 10 tahun. Mereka ini adalah pekerja saya yang paling berdedikasi dan banyak menyumbang kepada kemajuan syarikat.

Wartawan: Kalau begitu, apa kata Tan Sri berikan sebahagian saham syarikat ni kepada mereka berdua. Lagipun mereka sudah lama bekerja dengan Tan Sri, malah banyak menyumbang kepada syarikat sepertimana kata Tan Sri tadi.

Tan Sri: Eh... Mana boleh! Ini syarikat saya. Lagipun saya dah bayar gaji yang mahal kepada mereka berdua dan saya tak pernah halang pun jika mereka nak kumpul harta. Mana boleh senang-senang saya nak bagi saham syarikat saya pada mereka.

Wartawan: Macam tu jugalah perasaan Melayu. Tanah ini asalnya milik orang Melayu. Milik raja-raja Melayu. Lepas tu orang bukan Melayu macam Tan Sri pulak nak mintak hak sama rata dengan alasan kerana telah banyak menyumbang. Tan Sri rasa wajar atau tidak permintaan tu?

Tan Sri: .................................. (terkedu)

Kisah di atas merupakan sedutan daripada kisah benar yang berlaku dalam sebuah majlis perasmian kilang di Gemas, Negeri Sembilan.

Apa pendapat anda??

p/s: Sudah terang lagi bersuluh... Namun masih ramai Melayu yang tak sedar akan hak hakiki mereka... Sudahlah ketinggalan dari segi ekonomi dan pendidikan.. Satu-satunya peninggalan arwah nenek moyang (hak-hak istimewa org melayu) pun nak dijualnya kepada bangsa lain... Bukan bersikap perkauman, cuma tidak mahu dimasa akan datang Melayu hanya gah pada nama (MALAYsia) tapi akhirnya merempat di bumi sendiri... Pengalaman berada di Papua New Guinea sudah cukup mengajarku untuk memastikan agar bangsaku terus menjadi Tuan di bumi MALAYsia ini.. Jangan pula kita meneyesal di kemudian hari...

syukur......

Zambry kekal Menteri Besar Perak

PUTRAJAYA 22 Mei - Mahkamah Rayuan hari ini mengisytiharkan Datuk Seri Dr. Zambry Abd. Kadir kekal sebagai Menteri Besar Perak yang sah.
Keputusan itu dibuat selepas panel tiga hakim diketuai Hakim Datuk Md. Raus Shariff berpuas hati bahawa Sultan Perak betul ketika melantik Zambry menggantikan Datuk Seri Ir. Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin pada 6 Februari lalu.

Walaupun keje sebagai tukang cuci je, aku sangatlah mengambil berat dengan senario politik negara terutamanya hometown aku - Perak. Setelah pelbagai kemelut yang melanda Perak selama lebih kurang setahun dua bulan (bermula dari keputusan PRU12), aku harap keputusan mahkamah rayuan pada hari ni will be the end of it..

Aku amat-amat bersyukur kerana Perak kembali ke Barisan Nasional. Walaubagaimanapun BN perlu ambil ikhtibar dgn apa yg berlaku.. BN perlu kembali hidup bersama rakyat - merapati dan memahami kehendak mereka.

All the best to Dato Seri Dr. Zambry, BN dan UMNO!

unik Perak ni...

Semua bertanya, "apa dah jadi dengan Perak ?". Baik kawan2 dalam Perak sendiri mahupun kawan2 di luar Perak semuanya mahukan jawapan pada soalan tadi. Senario politik di Perak memang mendapat perhatian semua pihak. Kalau orang luar keliru, kami orang2 perak lagikan pula... Sejak PRU12, memamg glamer menjadi orang Perak... ahaks! ;D

Jawapan aku bagi soalan tadi tu senang je... Perak ni unik. Semua yang luar biasa dan penting berlaku di Perak.
a) Siapa yang berani bunuh orang putih (JWW Birch) waktu tengah mandi masa penjajahan british? Orang Perak
b) Siapa yang mewarisi Kesultanan Melaka setelah kejatuhannya akibat pencerobohan Portugis? Orang Perak
c) Di manakah timah mula2 dijumpai? Perak
d) Dimanakah getah mula2 ditanam? Perak
e) Dimanakah jalan keretapi mula2 di bina? Perak

Itu cumalah sebahagiannya. Jadi.. tak hairanlah kalau..
a) negeri manakah yang ada DUA Menteri Besar? Perak
b) negeri manakah yang ada DUA speaker DUN? Perak (Nizar masih anggap Sivakumar sebagai speaker)
c) negeri manakah yang mempunyai DUA ketua pentadbir kampung? Perak (JKKK dan JKKP)
d) Sultan manakah yang dicalar kedaulatannya dan cuba dibawa ke mahkamah oleh Karpal Karam Singh? Sultan Perak
e) Negeri manakah berlaku rusuhan samseng2 jalanan sehingga ada yang sanggup tidur terbaring atas jalan depan Istana pulak tu..? Perak

Itu just to name a few la kan....

So, kerana uniknya Perak dari dulu sampai sekarang, maka orang Perak tak perlulah pusing2 kepala dan stress fikir pasal ni... Perak memang tempat sejarah dicipta.. chewah!!! hehe...

Melalui undang-undang, Kerajaan Perak dapat kepada Pakatan Rakyat. Kerana undang-undang juga Barisan Nasional mendapat semula menjadi kerajaan di Perak. Dan kerana undang-undang juga Nizar mendapat semula menjadi Menteri Besar. Namun kerana prosedur undang-undang juga Zambry kekal di kerusi Menteri Besar sehingga hari ini. Insyaallah kerana undang-undang juga segala kekalutan akan berakhir tak lama lagi... Doa aku adalah kepada Barisan Nasional.. ;D

Ramai yang takut dan mengatakan Perak huru hara kerana apa yang berlaku pada persidangan DUN yang lalu. Bagi aku, baik huru hara dalam dewan, jangan huru hara atas jalanan macam di Thailand. Sehingga kini kehidupan di Perak tetap berjalan seperti biasa.. Alhamdulillah....

bbb...bbb...bbb...bomoh!

Semalam mak saudaraku meninggal dunia. Setelah hampir 2 tahun menderita pelbagai penyakit, beliau akhirnya menghembuskan nafasnya yg terakhir pada jam lebih kurang 10pg. Selepas zohor aku dan family bertolak ke Teluk Intan. Dah terlanjur di sana, abah terus buat plan nak ke lumut terus untuk bertemu dgn seorang bomoh yg bernama Pak W. Tujuannya untuk bertanya tentang mak yg semenjak dua menjak ni asyik libang libu je hatinya.. Tak tenteram sehinggakan tak lalu nak makan dan tak tidur lena. Keduanya untuk bertanyakan pasal aku dan kejadian anehku..

Setelah selesai majlis pengebumian kami terus ke Lumut. Dalam jam 9mlm barulah sampai di umah Pak W. Mulanya bertanyakan hal mak. Alhamdulillah kata Pak W, mak tak diganggu oleh apa-apa. Mak cuma perlu 'makanan' hati je iaitu berzikir 1000kali sebelum tidur.. Hmm.. padahalnya maklah orang yg selalu berzikir. Hampir setiap pagi sebelum pergi kerja mak akan ingatkan aku untuk berzikir sepanjang perjalanan. Entah kenapa mak diduga ketenteraman hatinya.. hmm...
Kemudian, turn aku pulak. Pak W menggunakan limau nipis dan air dalam perubatannya. Dan yang paling penting, dia menggunakan ayat suci Al-Quran. Sebab tu kami sekeluarga yakin dengan dia. Setelah habis limau dihiris, Pak W terus bertanya:

PW : Ada yang mengikut kamu ke?
Aku: Ha?
PW : Ada yang mengikut kamu ni...
Aku: Apa maksud Pak W?
PW : Yang tv pasang sendiri tu dia nak bagitau kamu yang dia ada.
Aku: tergamam... melihat Pak W tanpa berkelip
PW : Dia hembus kamu masa kamu kena tindih tu.. Tu yang kamu boleh gerak lepas tu..
Aku: terus tergamam
PW : Tapi, jangan takut.. Ni bukan yang tak baik.. Ni rezeki ni.. Bagus ni..

Temanggu kejap. Ada yang mengikut? Maksudnya dia selalu berada di sisi aku? Memerhatikan aku? Yang baik? Rezeki? Macam mana dia bleh ikut aku? Memang arwah opah ada saka. Tapi kami dah buang. Aku takde plak 'menerima' golongan halus ni... Aku tak tau nak rasa apa sebenarnya... Nak kata gembira tak juga.. Nak kata takut.. well, ada la sikit.. Aku tak mau 'diikut'. Aku tak mau diperhatikan.. Confirm lepas ni aku tak berani nak tinggal kat umah sorang2!

HT, temankan aku!!!!
