Aku bersyukur.

Semalam aku ikut A.S dan Y ke Wangsa Maju ambik kete baru diorang. Memang cun. Worth every penny bak kata Ainor. Well, thats not what I want to blog about. Aku nak citer pasal kejadian selepas tu.

Aku ikut amik kete tu sebab aku akan bawak kete Kelisa balik rumah. From Wangsa Maju, kitorang ikut Jln Ampang pastu masuk Jln Tun Razak pastu masuk ke KL-Putrajaya pastu keluar ikut exit Bukit Jalil pastu lalu Stadium Bukit Jalil, pastu lalu TPM pastu lalu jalan Kinrara-Puchong sebelum tiba ke jalan Puncak Jalil. Kalau tak jam dlm 30minit dah boleh sampai. Tapi disebabkan jam, boleh jadi sampai 2 jam. Kaki kiri aku punya la lenguh sebab nak kena tekan klac banyak kali sebab jam. Dari Jln Tun Razak tu.. sampailah nak masuk ke highway. Keluar highway pulak.. lalu jalan stadium tu lagilah.... mak aih... gila tension siot. Time tu aku baru terpikir betapa naik motor lagi la nikmatnye dari bawak keter. Walaupun berpanas berhujan dan bahaya sikit dari bwk keter, tapi langsung takde nak tension mcm bawak keter bila terperangkap dalam jam ni. Seriously!

Pastu pagi tadi pulak aku ikut diorang pegi keje sebab motor aku tinggal kat parking M.R. Lagi satu azab. Punyalah kena berhimpit tak ingat! Nasib baik aku naik pagi, kalau petang dgn bau ketiak lagi, bau kaka lagi.. fuh! Takleh tahan siot.

Bersyukur!!!!

Is your safety-belt fastened?

Yesterday was indeed very tiring for me. I went out of the house around 10am to shop groceries with mom. Came back home and get ready to attend a wedding of Teh's friend's. Reached Teh's house at 12.30pm and we went straight to Bant with the help of my Hitachi. After that, he decided to follow me to my meeting so as a punishment, he drove straight from Bant to SriDam again, with the help of my Hitachi. Oh my, the path we took was 'the shortest route' according to that small device, so we went through all the forrest and jungle and finally, once we've reached the highway, we felt relieved. Hitachi did not let us down this time. :)

We reached the meeting 1 hour late but it was all worth it because we got to hear a talk from a very respectful person, DiAna. She shared with everyone present on how she spends her daily life and it sounds so relaxing and fun.

Later after the meeting, Baba joined us and our stomach grumbled like after most of other meetings. So we decided to grab some food. Since all 3 of us haven't been to Tropik before, we decided to dine in there. First impression, it was huge. When we came in, hm, not attractive. Later we found the 'secret passage' to go to the 'upper world' and that's when we saw the REAL Tropik. Still not attractive, though. The Stabak store was quite nice, with the booth and very cosy like other Stabak stores.

After we munched our faces into the super-licious Tunnel Sandwiches, we just toured around in Tropik and went back. We could not go back very late because I have to send Teh first, and then I'll be driving back alone, which I really hate, especially at night. So after dropping off Baba, Teh drove to his mansion and I steered the wheel myself back home. The road was smooth (well, not literally!), and just as I reached another junction (out of many many junctions from his mansion), there was a motorbike which did not stop at the cross section, because apparently I was on the straight line where he has to make a turn. So obviously without a doubt, it was my way. Luckily I did not drive very fast at that time. I was on the left lane. And I was shocked that he did not stop plus, he honked me with his 'ttittt titttt' kinda honk which did not alert me at all. I steered to the right lane and stopped. And he could not do anything but steered back and make a U-turn himself. It was sooo his fault because after he turned, he looked at me and raised up his hand, apologizing. I was shocked. I did not even honk where if I were to sit at the co-driver seat, my hand would just freely go over and honk that damn guy. But I just could not believe how he could be so confident to just not bother to even have a pause at that junction. And guess, what. he did not wear a helmet. Which I really hate! I hate people who are not using their safety gears when they should! I hope that night was an alarm for him to be more careful and cautious while he's on the road. Well, it was for me too. Since it was dark, I did not want to lengthen the incident so I just stared at him and drove off. I reached home safely around 10pm after buying dinner for Momy. Alhamdulillah...

Luckily I recited doa naik kenderaan. :)

Earlier in the morning, Momy and I saw a bleeding woman by the road with the police patrol and some patrons. We just got back from our groceries-shopping. It was scary. Blood in her face and feet. And she was lying on the grass, on someone's lap, did not move, looked very helplessly. Another lady held an umbrella above her since it was raining at that time. There was no smashed car, only a good condition motorbike on the side of the road. We did not know what happened. But when I told Teh about it, he said maybe it could be a langgar lari case. Hmm, probably.

The whole thing took about 12 hours! Phew~

These days, you'll never know what's gonna hit you. Until you've been hit!

Take care, people. Drive safe.

Double bad news

Last Monday, I received 2 bad news. Both came from my friends.

1) I have been told by my colleague that HW is currently "downsizing" their team. What's that supposed to mean? O, who was a QC engineer in HW, worked only about 3 months and has been sacked by their management due to "downsizing" reason. Hurm.. I am not surprised by that news at all because I have heard some rumours about O is going to be terminated by HW management before this. Later when we were on our way to go for breakfast, we met R who is an engineer for HW also. We asked about O and about their company's "downsizing" issue and he said there are more who are being terminated. Suddenly I remembered my friend/coursemate who is an engineer in HW also. R knows him and he said that my friend is one of them. Damn. I called my friend but he didnt answer. Later in the evening, my friend called me and he told me that he is already in his hometown and currently looking for job. He said his former company practice LIFO (Last In First Out) for this "downsizing" reason. I am seriously sorry for him. May he get a new job soon.

LIFO? WTF was that? Can you simply terminate people just like that??? Well, yeah they can if they dont have any sympathy for their workers. Seriously, this incident really made me realized that working for people/company is not secured enough. Even if they stated that they contracted you for certain time, but there are some hidden clause saying that the company can terminate you anytime without any reason. This incident also made me realized that IF I were in my friend's shoe, what should I do???

2) In the evening, I read my friend's ym status saying that AS has just came out from Hospital without any serious injury. Like... what? So I straightaway called AS and he said he is fine and at police station lodging a report. My friend who made the status then told me that AS has crashed his mom's Honda CRV to one of PICC lamp post in Putrajaya. Lucky he wore seat belt at that time!
I am going to visit him tomorrow because currently he is quarantined for one week and he said that he is still in trauma to sit at driver's seat.
Seriously guys, wear your seat belt all the time. (this message is dedicated to me also :| )

p/s: I don't like bad news. Who does?


Alhamdulillah, umur kau masih panjang Ainor.
