selamat sejahtera puan sabarr...

sometime back i did write a post on dreams and at the very end i did say that i'll be posting another post on similar topic soon...heheh..this is "soon"..:P

it was a year ago..back in my aunts place in kedah.we were there becoz my cousin bro just passed away and it was kinda "pantang" to leave the house within 3 days of the funeral.
so...well...we stayed back.

it was allright during the day coz every1 was moving here n there.but at night, it was kinda hard to find a suitable place to sleep as the whole house was suddenly FULLLL of people.
so the best we could hope for was to find a piece of "land" just to fit our body .....and yeah...we get to hav a pillow on our own..thanks to my aunt who has plenty of pillows in her house.
...but no..i didnt hav my bolster..sighh..tat was the hard part..im just so used to sleep with one.
but anyway..we finally managed to settle down on the floor(with mattress).
as usuall all the ladies n with kids get the comfortable beds and air-cond rooms...and the rest with grown up buffalos and the buffalos themselves get to sleep in the hall...

me..not so used having to sleep around soo many ppl..found it kinda hard to get a comfortable post to sleep.this side turn..my cousin bro..like a giant..the other side..my uncle..already half way tru his sound of music...

aisay man...kasi tune down sikit la uncle....orang pun mau tidur!!!

somehow i finally dozed off...
then suddenly...after wat felt like just few minutes of sleep....

OOOOOOOOOoHHH........AAAAaaaaHHHH....
ooooooooooooOOOOOOAaaaaHHH....
ooooooooaaaooaoa.......

aisay mannn..wats happenin la...
i woke up... n realized the sound was coming from one of the rooms....the way the sound was coming i tot someone was having hysteria or something..goshh...
and then i heard one of my aunties voice..."ehhh.ehh..hey..wake up...wake up...stop screaming..."

and before the screaming(it sounded more like howling) could stop completely....suddenly my cousin who was sleeping few feet away stood up in the middle of the hall...and started...

"Bangun Semua...SELAMAT SEJAHTERA PUAN SABARRRRIAH...kelasss...tolong dengar apa saya cakap.....tolong dengarrrrrr"

i was like...grrrrrrr...sory im lost...can someone pls tell me wat the hell is going on here??
and then my cousin's mom who was sleeping somewhere there quickly got up and went to her son...

"ehhh..mad fella...stop it...stop it"
(she was trying to pull his shirt to wake him up..as she couldnt reach him as there was to many bodies..i mean humans sleeping all over the place)
but apparently...he couldnt wake up...and continued...

"dia buat bising cikgu..saya cakap..percayalahh..dia buat bising..."

cousin's mom : "Wake up u idiot...u better WAKE UP before i giv u a SLAPP!!!"

and then..hearing the commotion within the house...suddenly my aunt's dog outside the house started barking..howling....shaking the gate......

adoooiii...it was 2am and the whole house was like having a pasar malam.
and the howling coming from the human inside the room finally subsided....and my cousin finally stoped asking the students to get up and say Selamat to the damn teacher(coz he got a nice bang on his head with a pillow - my uncle threw it at him)...

but the bloody dog wouldnt stoppp...goooodess...my aunty bengang adi...she went straight to the door and gav it a hard kick...BANNGGGG..SHUTT UP!!...the dog fell silent at once.

aisayman...power la my aunty...this is the after effects of watching to much wrestling i guess...ganas betul!

ahahha..finally peace was restored.all of us were laughing our heads off...it took us a while before we could all settle down...

so this is how sometimes dreams effects us eh?
i heard some ppl walk in their sleep..luckily i dont.but the prob is..we dunno wat we did while we are dreamin.even my cousin bro didnt believe wat we told him...the next day.

goshhh..i wonder wat i hav been doing in my sleep..hope nobody saw anything they weren't supposed to see..:P

going out of the way...

few days back, as usual i was waiting for the long awaited lunch time. as i was in a very stressed up mood(due to the new bloody module i had to finish), i badly needed a good change of environment and to breathe in some fresh air to help me relax a bit.

ok back to that day's lunch story.
so around 1pm, we finally were out and waiting for the lift. and then once we got in..one of my colleague pressed the no 10 button.

me : "errr..aren't we going downstairs?"

CA :"ohh..today a new fren of ours from Indonesia would be joining us for lunch.She just started working in her new office upstairs and she doesnt know any1 here yet.
so we tot inviting her along would be a good idea u see.."

me : "oh..i see..."

and so we reached the 10th floor and headed for her office. the office had a good setup.
with good interior design and lightings n everything.
they had this glass door and when the receptionist saw our lot approaching..she quickly got up and opened the door for us(i suspected tat she was under the impression tat we were there to make some big orders of watever product they were selling).

Receptionist : "Yes..may i help you?"(with a broad grin on her face)

CA : "Well we're here to meet ..bla bla .."

Receptionist : (smile starts to fade..and starts to look suspicious) "may i ask who you are?and does she know you?"

CA : "We are her new frens and we're here to bring her out for lunch"

Receptionist : "Oh..ok..i will call her"
"and by the way....Can all of you PLEASE wait out of the door?
..pls dont wait around here.Thank You"
(turns and goes back to her seat)

Me : **Blinks**errr..did i hear tat right?

well..i guess i was right, coz all of the other colleagues turned to go out of the door like a bunch of hooligans being chased out for entering without permission..arghhh.... and so we stood out at the hot n uncomfortable corridor waiting for this new recruit who just joined in the "datin/datuk" list of mine.and finally she came...a pretty gal i shud say..looks all decent and quiet n sweet.she was introduced to all of us by CA n i saw her lost expression when she heard my name.i guess it must hav been too complicated for her to pronounce.

and off we went..finally heading downstairs.

in the lift..down the corridor..the pathway to the makan shop...in the shop...on the table...
mannn...SHE WAS TALLLLLKING...NON STOPPP...like a broadcasting radio.

my goodness..i've never seen a pretty and cute looking gal who talks soooooo much.
and no..she wasnt talking to me...she was just talking to selected 2 colleagues of mine who could speak in Hokkien.as tat was the only language she was using..and pretended as if there was no one else sitting around her.
my eardrums were abt to split open.if i just had some cotton there, i swear i would hav stuffed the whole lot into her mouth.
the rest of us were kinda lost on the table as she was sitting in the middle and kept blabberring..we couldnt talk over her as tat would be rude.

so i just sat there admiring the restaurant's walls.

and then suddenly out of nowhere a boy+fren of hers came in.another joker added to our lunch group now..wow..this is gonna be soo much fun...i tot...we have more clowns coming in!

and he sat on the other end of the table.and this new gal introduced all of us to this joker who didnt even bother to shake hands or look up at us when we were introduced.and when she wanted to introduce me to him..
New Gal : "and this is...errr...err.."
Me : "Tarzan...."
New Gal : "Right...this is Kakrash"
Me : T____T......**brilliant**

i never knew such a name ever existed in the indian name dictionary..luckily she didnt say Cockroach though.
heyyy wait a minute..mebbe i could use Kakrash for my son!!

and as expected..she started talking to her new mate...Non Stop again..
i just waited for my order to come...started eating and then felt very grateful as all of my colleagues decided to make a move and let the two woodywood peckers to continue talking.

phiewwww.....wat a relieve it was..to finally get some peace n quiet along the way back to the office.
tried my best to relax as much as i could before i reached the office and start facing the things tat makes my life shorter...:(

moral of the story : Offer help only when its necessary.

being a malaysian...

seems like i've been reading a lot of blogs lately..thanks to wy pun..hehe(for all the good links she always sends me during our daily msn chat at work)..a good way to get myself out of all the codes and reports tat i'm fated to face in my office.
blog reading seems to be a good way to improve my writing skills and at the same time having the chance to read abt all the interesting things ppl hav to say abt their life.

the thing tat has attracted me recently is the trend of some bloggers to write in malay...heh..well i've always wanted to try tat out.exercising my malay writing skills after sooo long seems to be a good idea.
and i guess doing it on a very special day like this makes it more memorable..
..so here's wat i've got to say abt being malaysian after 22 years...in a malay-sian style..;)
(if u think its rotten..pls do forgive me..heh..long time didn't write)

Banyak yang telah saya pelajari setelah 22 tahun bersama dengan rakyat malaysia.
Pertama sekali ialah saya berasa amat bangga kerana saya dapat melihat keunikan pelbagai adat dan amalan masyarakat berbilang kaum di negara saya ini.
Seperti yang anda sedia maklum, kawan-kawan saya selalunya terdiri daripada kaum yang bukan india. Semasa di sekolah juga, kebanyakkan kawan kawan saya terdiri daripada orang melayu, cina dan india. Saya tidak bermaksud untuk mengecilkan diri saya daripada orang india dan berpura-pura menjadi seorang dari bangsa lain. Saya amat berbangga dengan siapa diri saya sebenarnya. Cuma saya merasakan bahawa saya patut mengambil peluang keemasan ini untuk mengenali keistimewaan rakyat lain. Tida gunanya jikalau kita ingin mencari kawan di serata dunia tetapi keistimewaan rakyat di negara sendiri pun kita tidak tahu.
Saya merasakan bahawa jika kita tidak mewujudkan apa-apa jurang diantara persahabatan, semua orang boleh menjadi rakan baik kita tidak kira siapa identiti mereka yang sebenarnya.

Antara detik yang saya tidak dapat lupakan ialah semasa saya berada di sekolah menengah dahulu. Sudah menjadi amalan di sekolah saya dahulu yang semua jawatan tertinggi di AJK badan pengawas sekolah saya terdiri daripada pelajar bumiputera.
Seperti yang dijangkakan, saya tahu bahawa walaupun setelah 5 tahun menjadi pengawas di sekolah itu, saya tidak akan dapat mendapat apa apa jawatan di AJK tertinggi badan pengawas.
Akan tetapi, saya amat terkejut apabila saya mendapat undian kedua tertinggi semasa perlantikan ketua pengawas dijalankan(walaupun 70% pengawas terdiri daripada pelajar bumiputera). Saya tidak menyangka yang ini boleh berlaku dan setelah itu ramai kawan-kawan saya yang bukan bumiputera juga mendapat peluang untuk menjawat jawatan tinggi di dalam badan pengawas.
Inilah kali pertama dalam rekod sekolah perkara ini berlaku.
Saya amat gembira yang saya dan kawan-kawan saya yang lain dapat membawa perubahan yang positif kepada sekolah kami. Kami semua menjadi kawan baik dan sentiasa ada di sana untuk membantu sesiapa memerlukan bantuan.
Sehingga kini, kami masih mengekalkan persahabatan ini.
Saya dapat merasakan bahawa jikalau kita tidak mengambil kira perbezaan diantara kita, tiada apa yang mustahil dilakukan dan kami semua melalui satu tempoh masa yang amat seronok dalam badan pengawas kami pada tahun itu. Semua guru-guru kami pun tidak dapat menafikan keunikan badan pengawas kami pada tahun itu yang penuh dengan pelbagai "rasa".

Sewaktu di kolej, keadaan berubah sedikit. Kawan-kawan saya lebih matang tetapi keistimewaan mereka tetap menjadi element yang menjadikan suasana persahabatan kami amat seronok. Saya berharap keadaan ini akan berterusan dan saya akan mendapat peluang untuk mengenali lebih ramai kawan kerana mereka ini menjadikan perjalanan hidup saya ini lebih bermakna.

Malaysia telah memberi saya peluang untuk mengenali keunikan kepelbagaian element di dunia ini dengan begitu mudah sekali. Ramai kawan saya di negara lain tidak mempunyai peluang ini dan saya amat menghargainya kerana saya dapat menikmatinya dalam keadaan yang aman dan damai. Pada pendapat saya, inilah yang membuatkan Malaysia satu tempat yang amat unik di mata dunia.

sekian saja daripada saya dan sebelum saya mengakhiri catatan saya ini, saya ingin mengucapkan....

Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia...;)
