ode to the soapbox

lazy sunday. but still aku multi tasking from pagi2 buta, watching tennis US open, hearing latest english hits, surfing and chatting all at once. very the efficient.

oh yeah, selamat hari merdeka malaysia!!

sebagai warganegara, aku tumpang bangga for our country, for the fact yg kita dah merdeka.. opps.. berapa tahun? 2008-1957.. oh 51 tahun.

aku bukak gak RTM for the raptai sekejap. hmm.. ala2 tv pendidikan jek. bunch of people marching on the streets dengan ala2 terpaksa, takde senyum, longlai.. dengan pemimpin2 semua duduk atas kerusi selesa atas pentas dengan muka boring.

chotto.. at least bagi laa lively sikit. aku tengok singapore punya national day very the eventful. everybody was very proud to participate sampai aku pulak proud sekejap tengok. dapat tiket tengok NDP macam dapat lottery tau.

something wrong in the moods of malaysians lately that they, or should i say, we have to quickly fix.

and can someone please make new raptai background music that sounds like in 21st century? ni macam lagu dalam buku teks music darjah 5.

tomorrow dah masuk ramadhan bulan puasa. pejam celik pejam celik je kan? rasa macam baru bulan lepas jek aku withdraw duit ratus2 for duit raya. so.. apa aku teringin makan ari ni yek?

... naaaante omotte shimattak! the other day my cubicle mate, this christian lady yg kira alim jugak laa, said, you muslim very funny. you all fast during the day and then eat very luxuriously at night. what's the point?

aku pun terkesima kejap. that's true. kalau kita mentedarah malam2, apa maknanya siang2 tahan nafsu? amari imi nai janai?

still, on these final days i got 'my hands always in the cookie jar' hahaha..

semalam aku shopping kat ntuc untuk barang2 dapur untuk sahur, te iu ka, just biscuits and soya bean drink supaya tulangku ini tak mudah rapuh dek osteoperosis(eja?), this lady depan aku beli barang $4.85 bayar pakai note $1000.

$1000 okay... this cashier guy pulak macam biasa jek bagi change back, macam bayar pakai $10 note. good customer service. cuma aku pulak yg a bit irritated kat belakang tunggu budak tu kira duit dekat 10 kali.

oklah di kesempatan ini, aku nak mengucapkan

almost 6am. aku baru balik dari changi airport, hantar tan pegi phnom penh. dia baru call aku balik, dia kata swiss army knife yg dia bawak in check-in luggage takleh bawak masuk flight.

hmm logic laa kan, tapi airline assistant tu nak rampas terus, taknak bagi balik. what the.. aku kata suruh they all simpan kan dulu, aku even boleh ambik later from check-in counter or wherever. tak logic laa terus rampas, benda tu aku beli untuk dia from switzerland, siap ada ukir nama lagi.

hidokunaii?? harus aku complaint kat jetstar.

hah thanks guys yg wished aku gd luck yesterday for the interview. yesterday went on like a blur. sepanjang ari restless, tak boleh concentrate on work.

yg best, ada rumours kat our department yg someone quitting! ada orang suspect aku pulak tuh.. siap ada hint, dari certain certain group. aku desu ka ne?? tak pasal2 aku kena tepis gossip2 liar.. haha macam hollywood artist laa pulak.

dattek, belum confirm lagi apa. aku pon tak ingat apa aku cakap time interview. weird laa cakap through phone. kita tak dapat tgk reaction org tu macam mana, whether dia dapat tak point yg kita cakap kan..

yg pasti dia kata ada few other applicants, lepas tu aku calon yg terbaik dattek! haha ureshii waa.. kedo, still kena tunggu final say dalam dua minggu nih.. ermmm aku pasrah jer laa kan..

so how?? do i have a chance?

kalau korang tengok olympic, kan ada those chinese girls yg tatang medal or bunga during medal presentation ceremony? today in newspaper there was this article yg tulis tentang the selection criterias to choose those girls.

ni dia piece of that article..

now i'm safe and sound kat simei street 1. ingat2 balik betapa seksanya menapak dari senai ke simei semalam, now dekat depan pc ni rasa shiawase jer.

ok bukan laa actually menapak kan, tapi mendoukusai. dari senai naik shuttle bus ke kotaraya 45 minit, lepas tu seberang tambak via city link bus 20 minit, then mrt dari kranji ke simei 50 minit, bus no-9 ke melville gate 5 minit dan menapak dari gate ke pintu rumah 5 minit.

bouken janaii?

lepas tu pukul 3pm norikae ke line hijau kat city hall pon sesak berdiri dalam train. weekdays tengahari buta tu nande konderu no?? wake wakannai wa.. tu pon nak target population 6.5 million ke?

well tu nanti termasuk tompok laa kan. tambah lagi 1.5 orang ahaks!!

anyway, trip ke KK wa seikou dattak wa. well, aku dah ke KK 2 times dalam masa 3 bulan. record desu. tinggal biler lagi jer nak ke sipadan.

semalam sampai rumah aku terbongkang kejap, patut ada 5.30pm yoga session kat office, tapi aku skipped. tapi terpaksa gak bangun keluar pukul 6pm sebab aku dapat movie screening invitation kat the cathay orchard.

movie 'journey to the center of the earth'. aku haram tak tau apa2 pasal movie nih, ntah2 kartun ke, or citer cina.. tapi turned out omoshirokattak wa. they all jatuh ke bawah mantel and discovered this whole new world down there.




cuma tak logic laa kan. nande dah beribu2 batu bawah tu still ada oxygen nano? bukan setakat oxygen, ada pulak dinasour.

ermmm..

very nice weather since morning. apparently the weather bitch was an angel today. kalau tak harus aku engage khidmat bobohizan2 gunung kinabalu.

we all gi pulau mamutik, since aku dan adik aku pernah pergi pulau manukan dulu. pulau mamutik ni tak laa sebesar pulau manukan, tapi yang bestnyer, pulau mamutik still have corals. ikan2 pun lagi banyak. nak pulak we all jumpa nemo!! haha tak payah diving pun boleh jumpa nemo. jimat ratus ratus ringgit beb...

so esok dah balik singapore balik. tadi dah start borong kerepek merepek nak bawak balik bagi office mate. tak payah laa mahal2 kan. boss aku pon pegi hong kong setakat beli sweets.


aku borong kuih cincin. macam pretzel, tapi kering. nampak pon biasa jek, takde laa meleleh air liur kan.. tapi bila org kedai tu bagi aku rasa, alamak sedap laa pulak. rupa2nya dalam ada gula nipah. unique desu. padan laa adik ipar aku tu semalam cakap2 pasal kuih cincin.

ok lah, i expect next time aku tulis dari melville park... my home sweet home!
