Hujan

Nihao (hello in Mandarin or literally means you good...?? Sempena holiday in China nanti..... oops). Cheq dah dua hari berulang-alik ke Shah Alam. As I said, cheq ni sebok dengan internal ISO compliance checking kat our rep offices satu Malaysia. But as a coordinator, cheq yang tentukan siapa pi mana etc. I was supposed to go to Melaka and Seremban too, but my boss overruled my decision. Keji tak...?? Nak jimat cost katernya..... (sudehhhhh!!!). So I had to send someone from southern region instead. Mencik taw....!!!

Anyway, I quite enjoy doing the auditing/compliance checking. I may not be an auditor by profession, cheq rasa seronok la checking keja2 yang orang lain buat, samada depa ikut rules and procedures that have been set or not. Or in other words, it's fun to be "someone hated by others". Matila statement........ Seriously, it's not for us to find faults. It is our job to ensure that all records are kept in order and to promote a systematic working environment, bley...?? Suddenly, cheq macam eager nak jadi auditor. I may consider a career change in future ni..... who knows kan?

Sepanjang dua hari travelling to Shah Alam, hujan turun lebat sebelah petang. Tension jugak sebab dah la jam kat industrial area Shah Alam tu, orang pulak kelam kabut nak balik tengah2 hujan ni. I was using KESAS highway. So boleh tengok massive jam kat area Proton-Hicom junction dan also Persimpangan Kewajipan (Subang Jaya). Terasa teringin nak makan murtabak Singapore kat USJ Taipan tapi bila tengok jalan nak keluar highway pun dah jam gila, I had to pass..... gitu. Terus je balik rumah makan roti Gardenia instead, boleh...??

Sempena musim hujan ini cheq teringat kisah lalu yang jugak berlaku di waktu hujan. Every moment of it, sentiasa melekat kat kepala hotak cheq ni sampai la ni. So let us start singing this song :

HUJAN - Sudirman

Hujan yang turun bagaikan mutiara
Berkilau bersinar berkerdipan
Subur menghijau bumi terbentang
Dan bayu berpuput lembut

Cinta yang bersemi
Diwaktu hujan turun
Menyirami ketandusan hati
Dan hujan turut mengiringi
Engkau pergi...

Selembut hujan bercurahan
Begitulah cinta ini
Semesra bumi yang disirami
Begitulah hati ini

Hujan yang turun bersama air mata
Bersama pedih, bersama rindu
Kau datang dan kau pergi jua
Rindu lagi...

Okaylah you all, cheq nak buat benda lain, apa yang patut. Perut pun lapaq ni. Zhu ni guo yige haotian (have a good day in Mandarin). Zai jian (goodbye).

Sepi

Call me ketinggalan zaman, I don't care. I just bought and watched the DVD "Sepi". Selepas cheq tonton filem "Cinta" arahan Kabir Bhatia yang touching tu kat cinema a few years ago, cheq rasa berminat nak follow his next film. Walaupun filem sepi ni dah keluaq kat panggung months ago (cheq tak kan pi tengok movie sorang2), baru malam ni cheq berpeluang nak tengok filem ketiga dia ni (after "Love" - the Indonesian version of Cinta).

At first, cheq ingat the storyline ada similarity dengan Cinta tapi bila dah start tengok, memang totally different. I don't want to comment much about the storyline tapi what I can summarisekan ialah best gilerrrrrr..... very touching. I haven't had a tear dah lama. Biaq la orang nak kata cheq ni hati kering, tapi at the end of the show ada jugak teardrop on my cheek. (*matila emo...... tapi ada aku kesah...??)

Apa yang menarik yang cheq nak share ialah bait2 sajak yang ada dalam filem ni. Very touching, very personal.

"Bisikku pada bulan,
kembalikan temanku,
kekasihku,
syurgaku................................."

Good night you all..........................

This Used To be My Playground

Sempena perceraian Madonna dan Guy Ritchie, mari kita hayati lagu ini.


This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday
Those are words I'll never say

This used to be my playground
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy

This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me

This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me

Impianku

The Great Wall of China. I have always been fascinated by this Chinese fortification that is claimed to be one of the seven wonders of world. I had secretly made plans to visit this man-made structure with my loved one in the past, with a hope that it would do wonders to our relationship too. Nampaknya itu belum menjadi kenyataan buat masa ni. Now that I'm back to being alone, I will have to make this dream come true no matter what. As some of you might have known, I am a very determined person. If I dream of something, I will work hard to make it happen. So, insyaAllah, I'll be there soon samada cheq bersendirian atau berteman.


Di dalam kesibukan di pejabat serta hal peribadi, cheq sudah determine akan pergi bercuti sebelum tahun 2008 ni berakhir. The destination chosen is definitely China (apart from Paris...... I wish to visit Paris someday and I even learn French... hehehe). Kalau tadak aral melintang cheq akan pergi China bulan Disember ni. Tak kira la boss nak approve cuti ka dak, I've already made the booking. Ada aku kesah....?? *matila....... awai2 dah tahana tak hengat. The package will include tour to Beijing and Shanghai, with an overnight train journey between these two cities. Although my Mandarin sucks and my Hokkien is a bit rusty, tak kira la kan. Bukannya cheq nak buat public speaking ke apa. Shopping will definitely be fun with "tunjuk2" and tekan calculator for bargaining. Excitednya.............. Well, this is something to look forward to. At least my anticipated hard work in October and November will be rewarded with this 7-day holiday.

Satu lagi perkara yang ditunggu2 is that I may be moving to a new place next month. Somewhere a bit closer to KL city centre. I've been to the new place with my future housemates and I don't have much to complain about. My housemates pun tak kesah, ok jer. One of them, cheq dah kenai for quite sometime and the other, well orang utara jugak. Lepas ni rabung la bersembang kat balcony. Hampaq tikaq, dok hisap rokok sambil bukak loghat masing2. The place itself is new. Tak ramai orang lagi. Hope everything goes well, fingers crossed.

It is now 2.38 am tapi tak rasa mengantuk. And the radio is playing lagu raya Aishah, Pulanglah Di Hari Raya (or something like that). Tetiba teringat kat someone and kampung pulak, kan?? Hmmm....... I miss home and my bantal peluk. And I miss my own house yang ditinggalkan tak berpenghuni di Kedah. Cheq akan balik jugak nanti.......... sebab nak ambik my winter clothing. Yay........ hey Mr DJ, put the record on. Holiday...... celebrate........ (hehehe marah Madonna tak bayaq royalty). Okayla........ zai-jian (goodbye in Mandarin).

Sebok

Cheq sibuk sangat minggu ni. In actual fact, I'll be a little bit busy this month and maybe next month too. Projects dah start jalan this month and on top of that, there will be some auditing work to do next week onwards. I've never learned any auditing during my varsity years, so this will be something new to me. Nasib baik la tak kena pi jauh2 kan, around this area saja. Susah jugak nak maintain ISO certification ni. Kejap2 nak kena buat internal compliance checking. Being the coordinator, matila cheq ibarat kater.

Ni pun baru balik dari makan2 kat luar dengan member. Setelah lama kenal a fellow blogger, HuggyTeddy, baru tadi cheq jumpa dia for meal. Sebelum ni pernah terspotted dia kat A&W PJ tapi tak sempat tegur. So this time baru la dapat sit down and sembang face to face. Thanks Teddy (also) for dinner. Sedap food kat Wang Solo tu. Next time it will be on me pulak, okay?


This weekend ada open house invitation tapi rasa macam malas nak bersosial ramai2 ni. Rasa macam nak duduk rumah, catch up with my sleep again. Lagipun open housenya jauh bebenor. Sure la cheq ni tersesat2 punya. Okayla u all semua. Cheq nak pi layan my kawan baik, Marlboro Lights. As I said, I'll be quite busy. So kalau lama tak blogging tu, jumpa di lain siaran. Ta ta......

Happy F***ing Raya To Me

Itinerary for raya :

1) wake up late
2) eat whatever is in the kitchen
3) smoke endlessly
4) TV
5) sleep

To all, have a better raya and a happy life.

RUANG RINDU - LETTO

Dedaun yang ikut mengalir lembut
Terbawa sungai ke ujung mata
Dan aku mulai takut terbawa cinta
Menghirup rindu yang sesakkan dada

Jalanku hampa dan kusentuh dia
Terasa hangat oh didalam hati
Kupegang erat dan kuhalangi waktu
Tak urung jua kulihatnya pergi

Tak pernah kuragu dan slalu kuingat
Kerlingan matamu dan sentuhan hangat
Ku saat itu takut mencari makna
Tumbuhkan rasa yg sesakkan dada

Kau datang dan pergi oh begitu saja
Semua kutrima apa adanya
Mata terpejam dan hati menggumam
Di ruang rindu kita bertemu

Notasi Di Malam Hari - Part Deux

A friend was in town and I took the opportunity to drive around, tried new routes and new places. Before that, during the weekdays, I had to be at Damansara to assist with the trainings. My first time driving to a place with a very confusing road systems. Nasib baik sampai jugak ke destinasi yang dituju. My new job function requires me to conduct trainings as and when they are needed. For a start, my first session was just a 15-minute briefing during a half-day training. It went on just fine and it was quite a nerve-wrecking in the beginning as I'd never trained a group of people before. Nak tak nak kena buat jugak kan, and the following day, it was much easier for me.

My weekend was not as boring as before. We went out for meals a lot for the past couple of days. Buka puasa la, sahur la etc. Biasala kalau kawan datang sini, takkan nak duduk rumah saja, kenalah bawak kuar makan, jalan2 etc. Kat rumah pun bukan ada apa sangat nak makan (although my housemate and his friend cooked some delicious cuisines for buka puasa). The three of us kuar makan melanggar sempadan kawasan ibarat kater. Dan di situ jugaklah cheq bumped into some familiar faces which I wish tak kan selalu terserempak kan? Pegi PJ, kami jumpa seseorang dengan kawan2nya and pegi Sunway pun, jumpa lagi orang lain pulak. I have nothing to be scared of, as I have not done anything wrong. It's just that our conversation suddenly terbantut bila ternampak orang lain yang you don't wish to see there. Hehehe..... Pastu dok pandang2 kita as if kita tengah buat salah besar like drug dealings or something. Sentap tau nak buka puasa pun tak senang. Maybe pandang cheq sebab cheq pakai like macam nak pegi pasar saja, as compared to they all yang tengah berdating berhias diri nak impress each other tu. Huhuhu.... *matila laser tak hengat.

In fact, malam ni pun cheq baru balik dari Restoren Rebung di Bangsar tu, kepunyaan Chef Ismail. I had a lovely buffet meal, sampai tak larat nak jalan balik ke kereta. Matila kalau hari2 buka puasa makan buffet macam tu. Sorry ya, no pics taken. Cheq ni dah biasa makan food kat bazaar ramadan aje tau. Ala2 beli apa yang perlu saja. Sahur pun tak bangun sebab malas dan if cheq makan sahur pun, I can't seem to doze off easily after that. So thank you Shah and KC for the "jalan2 cari makan" trip. I hope it doesn't spoil my diet programme. *Matila cindai........

A few friends claimed that I have slimmed down. Well, there is no specific diet that I practise. I have been consuming food macam biasa saja, mungkin the quantity dah reduced sikit. Apa2 pun I always take it positively. Kalau nak cakap makan hati, cheq memang makan hati but life still goes on. I am a man of my words and I try to keep to my promises. I have promised someone that I will slim down after Hari Raya. It looks like I have progressed tremendously (suker... suker... clap3X). Physically, I may be changing but emotionally, I am still the same person. Whatever that means.

Talking about Hari Raya, I can foresee myself spending Hari Raya in KL. So orang2 utara, kalau cheq tak balik raya, harap maaf. Lain raya, mungkin ada rezeki lagi. Bye for now.
