Pergh! Damn Expensive!!

I sent my car for service last Saturday. I reached the service centre around 8.20am. Judging from the number of people waiting, my gut says that everything should be over in an hour or less than two, the most. I took my number. And the current queue number shown on the screen was 2001. I looked down at mine, 2003 - "Ahh, this is good, I would be home by twelve or one.." that was my first thought when I took that small piece of paper. Then I took a sit and waited.

Ding! My turn finally came. Like always, I slowly drag my lazy bum and seated on a chair in front of the table, where a fair-skinned, friendly faced, chinese guy was sitting. He greeted me. I gave my car keys and my service booklet and then impatiently waiting, while my tummy started to play a hungry song. Then, he, the guy spoke! "Service for 62,oookm?". Me, "Hell yeh!". Then he showed me the paper and started to brief me about what they gonna do to my City... engine oil, gasket, oil filter, change this, change that..bla, bla.. recommended for an aircond service, bla, bla.. bla, bla.. and RM810.00. What?? "After discount, it's RM741.00". Me, "Why are so expensive?". "Normal price, bang. Everything will be done in a half an hour".

I signed the job order.

Again, I took a seat at the corner and waited. One hour. Pause. Two hours gone. I looked at my watch and again waited. Lost between the earth and the sky. Three hours gone. My tummy continued to sing. Ridicullous! And again, patiently I waited. And lost within myself.

8610!

Ah! Finally. I gave my card. I signed the job order and took the receipt. "No addtional discount huh?", I asked the amoi. "Nope, normal price bang". Hmm.. the same answer.

I took my car keys and walked towards my car. Then sped off.

What a day!

Me & Dilemma - Part 1

Hate myself whenever I be in this situation! Like what has been promised, I followed her to her so called "business opportunity" meeting. So, we reached there around 1.55pm and then completed our registration and went down to ground level to have our late lunch --> Secret Recipe <-- where I ordered my meatballs spaghetti and tropical smoothies. So, after consumed our meals, we went back to the room. A fair, tall and not so big guy was already on the stage talking about money, how to get rich and some stuffs. And then, out of no where the magic word suddenly came out! *****! What? I never expect to hear this name, not here, not now! She never mentioned a thing about this name. What she told me was, something to do with internet-based business opportunity, not a MLM kind of business. Aduh!

So, after about 4 hours of talking, aspiring and clapping, the meeting ended. She introduce me to her upline, maybe, or whatever they may called it here. So, like always, I just stand there awkwardly and tried my best to pretend like I am interested. Damn! I am so not good at this pretending thing. And her upline was managed to convince me to meet her next tuesday to talk more about it. And she also managed to give me two CDs for me to hear, in my car atleast, that what she hoped. Arghh! What should I do know? I was hooked and there is a planet of regret in me, blaming myself for attending this meeting. But on the other hand I feel obliged.

What is next? I was cornered and there is no an exit light to it, that was what bunny told me. I guess, she was right! Cornered!

Lets pray and hope for an answer!

Me & Midnight - Part 1

Its 1.45am. Just ended my conversation with bunny. Thanks, for the time, and for everything! Now, here I am, again with nothing left to do. Hmm.. the game is only gonna start at 2pm, and I dunno whether I can wait for another few minutes. Tried to close my eyes but I guess it is stupid thing to do. So, decided to write something tonight. It has been a week since my last posting.

termenungku
duduk mengelamun jauh
memikirkan nasibku
kegelapan di sudut jendela ini
rembulan bersembunyi
menghiburkan hati yang gundah gulana
tak tahu bagaimana?

Kinda catchy huh? Ehehe.. was listening to that song. I dunno whether you have ever heard of it. Me? Sincerely, it was one of my favorite and still one. A classic song. I believe it was written back somewhere in the 80s. Yup, 80s, the era where the melody and the lyric were gorgeous. They blend and they compliment each other. I guess that what makes me miss those days :) And, for this song, it was, what should I say? Brilliant! Yes! It makes me want to sing together with Francesca. Her voice? Hmm.. sound so oldies!

Sometime I wonder, where are trumpets and saxophone these days? They seldom being used in the songs lately huh? I wonder why? Or it was just me, fail to recognize it, or am I listening to wrong genre of songs? Ehehe.. what am I mumbling about?

Got to put myself to sleep. Tomorrow have something to do. A promise that I need to fulfill. A favor to a friend of mine. Hoping for something that gonna surprise me. Something that could, maybe, lead me to a new direction in life. She has talked about it for a month, now. So, I guess, if my little favour could make her life a little happier, why not. That is all I can do. Help her.

So, this is me, trying very hard to close my eyes. Hoping though, for the best dream ever! Good night!

Chiao!

She Got A Lump In Her Throat?

Stay up quite late last nite. My favorite team Arsenal had a home-game with Bolton Wanderers. Luckily they won the game. They won by 1-0, thanks to Nicklas Bendtner for the late winning goal! Can't recall when I fell asleep though, but what I do recall is I wake somewhere between 4 to 5 am to turn off the TV. Wasted energy!

Morning. Soon after finish my breakfast (thanks Lonkk!!) I start hacking my netbook. 1st thing to do is, to check her blog. As I expected, she posted two writing, mostly about her interpretation towards a song and about her feeling. Hmm.. "Lump In My Throat", that is one of her writing. Does that has anything to do with me? Only she knows. But, why do I have a planet of feeling inside me telling me that the writing is has to do with me? She implied in her posting that she ended her conversation with her buddy in a very unpleasant manner. She did not actually said it but that what I think she actually meant. And I know it right cuz that "buddy" was me! :(

Were you mad? Had I hurt you in any way? Sorry, I didn't meant to hurt your feeling. It was meant to be a joke. I didn't know you were too fragile last nite. Or, it just me who failed to see your sensitivity. Or, was it because of your "girl" thing? Hmm.. what can I do to make you smile? 3G conversation? Sorry cuz I can't do that. My battery is running at lowest capacity, I think I did told you that, kan? How about flowers? Roses? Red roses perhaps, ould help to ease your throat. But where can I find those roses? Aha, I have an ideas! Take this, okay. Look at your far right, could you see them? The red roses, could you see? There, at your right side. Ehehe, hope those roses could find you. Hope they find you well. And hope you like them. Hope they can make you smiling, right now! And really hope they can brush that "lump" away from you throat, way down to your stomach and way down to where it supposed to make its final exit. Hope. Make my hope become a reality, kay.

Anyway, you have the option not to read this posting. You have the right not to take those roses. And you have the right not to do anything or to do whatever you may want to. Wish you a pleasant day though. It your choice!

Chiao!

It Haunting Me

Bored. For the past an hour I have been lying on my couch, with the TV remote at my hand, browsing from one channel to another, but nothing excites me. With more than 30 channels available, I could not find even one program that can really make me to stay on my couch. Hmm.. wonder what RM59.90 a month worth for? What I get is the same old program being repeated at a different timing and different day.

So, I decided not to stay and start googling the net --> thank God, for my new S10 netbook, which I bought few days ago <--- So, after half an hour searching the net for something special, I stumble across a song which used to be one of my favorite, and still one of mine. It is a japanese song and was used as a soundtrack for Tarantino's film, Kill Bill vol.1. The truth is, I don't understand a damn about it, the lyric, but what I do know is, the melody is damn brilliant! And Mieko's voice is gorgeous, and it haunting me. This song got its soul.

Meiko Kaji - Flower Of Carnage!

Enjoy? How was it? Brilliant piece of art huh?

Chiao! ;)

The Beginning of A New Chapter

Finally, 2009 is here. Does it really matter to me? Nah! it just likes a normal day. Everyday is a new day, so what is so BIG THING about it. And there is nothing to be celebrated. That is just my thought though. Some might say I am dumb.

Anyway, I spent my 31st December night with Darn. We ordered 20 sticks of sate and 2 jugs of air kelapa. The taste was damn good! The truth is, I don’t know whether it was really taste good or it just me. Barely recall when was my last time having it. Seems like so long ago.. ahakss! So, we sat there, we ate, we chat, we laugh, and we ate again and again. Good to be away from what I normally do everyday. Lately, I feel like my life has becoming too routine and too boring, so I guess by dis-engaging myself, away from what I normally do is like an antidote. What am I saying?

Let see. What do I expect in 2009? Should I start to readjust my life and should I start redefine the purpose of life. Sometime I do. But most of the time I don’t. Would prefer to enjoy my journey of life without any plan. Just let whatever things come unplanned and accept the outcome without too many questions. Let it be a mystery and let it be a surprise!

Anyway, I do hope that this year is going to be one of the greatest. Hope for a smooth journey, where everything is going to be easy for me. Need to spend more time at home, do some gardening maybe. Give my wall a new paint, rearrange my things, more mirrors, get an indoor “fountain of luck”, more paintings on the wall, wow, so many things in my head. Those are just hope. Hope that I can find and spare some times to do all that. Hope. Anyway, like Dufresne said, “Hope is good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies”.

Chiao!
