Weekend

Weekend - is never spent at home. Imagine staying at home for the whole week, and the whole weekend... I could go crazy with boredom. So weekend is the only time I could really indulge in myself & unwind after a stressful week.

Half of Saturday was wasted because of the rainy weather. As soon as the rain became just drizzle, I couldn't wait anymore. Smsed Eva, asking to meet her somewhere, then got on my bike & rode to my old place.

Nothing is more enjoyable than spending time with my bestest friend. We went on a window shopping spree, trying on clothes JFF (just for fun). Tak beli pun! After doing a quick mental calculation on how much sushi I could eat without going busted, we indulged ourselves in sushi. Sake is my favourite (raw salmon). Extra wasabi, extra sauce & yummy! I just luuuuurrrvveee sushi...

I know some people gets put off at the idea of trying sushi because they think all of sushi are made of raw ingredients. Wrong. Only some of them are raw, like raw salmon. Others, like omelette on the glutinous rice wrapped in seaweed, or crabstick, or even fish cake, are not raw at all.

As if that's not enuff, I suddenly had a craving for blueberry chocolate cake....
So we dropped by at Secret Recipe, the best cake deli (err, izit a deli?) in the country. Disappointingly, there's no blueberry chocolate cake There's blueberry cheesecake, though, but I'm not in the mood to eat cheese cake. I was already drooling at the thot of blueberry jam... oooohhh... so nice...

So we settled for blackforest gateau instead (gateau, in French, means cake). We shared a piece of the cake as none of us can finish one slice by ourselves.

Mouth-watering, rite?

At night, we made plans to go to Danga Bay.

Despite feeling guilty at eating so much on Saturday, that did not stop me from ordering nasi bubur (u have to try nasi bubur Sentosa - they are really delicious). A bowl of steaming plain rice porridge served with fried onion & chilies, fried kangkung, salted fish (the main reason I'm such a big fan of bubur nasi), salted egg (another gob-smacking good reason), fried ikan bilis, and peanuts. Not forgetting, sambal goreng. Soooooooo irresistible! Try complementing that with diet Coke. It blends so well :p East meets West thingy.

After strolling around, talking nineteen to the dozens, we decided to call it a day & go back home. Luckily, Sunday I didn't feel like EATING so much! Klu tak, hancuss my diet!

Hari nih dah selamat pindah ke department baru. Sempat lagi last minute kena bawak gi tour around perimeter, naik land rover. Fascinating. Then, aku balik opis & kemas barang untuk angkut gi opis baru. Tak de la susah sangat, sebab aku just angkut pc, & stationery. Buku2, dokumen sumer aku tinggalkan aje.

First day je aku dah kelam-kabut. Since esok cuti, bos nak pamphlet design ready by today gak. Chairman pun kena sekali, gelabah check invitation dah setel ke tak for Monday event. Bengang sket kat dia sebab tengahari dier tinggalkan je presentation yang tak siap, gi praktis bowling. Aku kena take over, setelkan bendalah tu sementara dia gi main bowling. Hampeh. Bila dah fed up sangat, aku pun hantar mesej - 'Wey, u balik kul baper? i dah terguling2 buat keja u nih.'

Last2, dah setel everything, mak cik aku plak call, nak mintak aku check tiket AirAsia gi Sibu ada lagi ke tak, sebab cousin nak balik besok. Tak jadi balik awal. Huhu...! aku dah la tak sabar2 nak nengok citer Full House!

Wey, bila training nak abis nih??

Full House

Sekarang nih, pukul 8.30 mlm je aku dah tercongok depan tv. Tgk citer nih 'Full House'. Best giler la! Aku nih dah la bukan hantu tv, tetiba je boleh melekat tgk citer nih :p Malam semalam citer nih dah semakin 'serius'. Hero & heroin dah bercerai, tapi dieorang still suka each other. Tapi malam nih, hero tu nak propose balik kat heroin nih, so hehe, tak boleh miss la ;) 8.30 mlm je, aku kompem nak tengok.

Sinopsis citer tu:



Terasa nak beli cd citer nih. Ada 16 episod sumernye. Kalau tengok citer nih, mesti gelak bersungguh2. Hilang tension woo... Tapi ex-housemate aku cakap cd dier tak de subtitle :( Huhu... Lagipun dekat RM100 gak la. Klu nak tengok, tak de vcd player. Uwaa!! Miskinnya aku!

Apa2pun, memang citer yang best...

Lepas tengok citer nih, takde apa nak buat. Bilik dah kemas. Kemas rumah je la. Did laundry. Dah setel, baru masuk bilik. Bosan giler... Bila dapat msg, waliow! Excited giler...

'Smile owez :) U dun want the next prince to see u looking teary-eyed & sad... so smile owez'

Cukup membuatkan aku tido ngan senyuman. Hopefully, one of these days I will dream of my prince (where art thou?) & I together, like the picture above, head on his shoulder, watching the sun goes down :) Ah, mimpi je...

Pindah Department (Lagi??)

Pepagi lagi Chairman dah hantar mesej,

'When u going to GH'

Peh... naper? Orang kat GH dah panggil ke? Bila aku datang nak tengok kat mane tempat aku, sumer dieorang tengah wat malu2 kucing.

'Akak, saya nak report ke GH nih. Where am I going to sit?' aku tanya kat Kak Eyna.

'You've got two choice, either share tempat ngan Chairman, atau kat hujung tu,' she pointed at the corner of the room.

'Or with me,' ada suara yg berkata. Aku buat2 tak dengar.
'Kat hujung sana la, kak. Mana2 je, tak kisah...'

'Azim cakap, dia nak dok ngan you...' Kak Eyna usik. Just buat muka bodoh, tanya kat Azim,
'Kenapa nak dok ngan kite?' Budak2 GH yg lain dah gelak. 'Dia tanya kenapa...'

'Azim, Carneyz cakap dier tak suka dok ngan orang smoking...' Kak Eyna bagitau mamat tu. 'A'ah.' Aku angguk kepala.

'Oh, klu mcm tu, esok saya berenti merokok...' Sekali lagi depa gelak ramai2. 'Sanggup tu...'

Ah, sudah la aku lepas nih... Tapi Jen cakap dieorang ok. Suka menyakat je. Alah, klu boleh survive masuk Engineering, takkan GH tak boleh? Hehe. Caiyok2!

Gurisan Jiwa

Seperti malam2 sebelumnya, dah abis je drama tu pukul 9.30 mlm, aku tutup tv & masuk bilik. Belek2 magazine dalam 15 minit. Siap rekod masa belek magazine. Result, purata masa belek magazine dari kulit ke kulit memang tak lebih 15 minit. Sapalah ngajar aku baca dengan lajunya nih.

Malam semalam, tak de entry baru dalam diari. Tak de baju nak dilipat. Bilik dah kemas. Baju dah iron. Kira petak kat siling. Belek2 buku pulak.

Terasa nak sms orang plak. Orang yang mula2 aku nak sms ialah... dia. Tapi. Ahhhh..... hmmm... not a good idea. Siang tadi pun dia busy. Malam, mesti busy jugak. Lagipun, takut nak kacau dia. Takut dia rimas. Takut kredit dia abis. Takut aku akan sentiasa bergantung kat dia lepas tu. Macam2 perasaan takut. Akhirnya tak jadi. Ada suara dalam diri yang remind aku - whatever had happened between both of you, it was in the past. Forget about it. You're no one special to him now.

Yep. Betul jugak. Ok la. Aku batalkan hasrat tu. Mencari nama lain dalam phone book hp. Tetiba terjumpa nama lain yg buatkan dahi aku berkerut. Teringat balik time 2nd year, 3rd year & finally, 4th year yg bersejarah. Gile... Suke gelak terbahak2 ngan dia. Time ada problem, suka sembang2 ngan dia. Penah study sesama, buat assignment sesama & merepek2 sesama. Kalau ada apa2 yg buat aku gembira, dia antara yang pertama aku carik untuk share the news.

Walaupun dia ramai peminat, aku sikit pun tak penah ada perasaan kat dia. Sabar menunggu lelaki senegeri. Sebab tu, aku je yg jadi kaunselor nasihatkan dia pasal psikologi perempuan. Bila dia tanya bila nak ada 'abe', aku jawab, 'Bila jumpa abe Sarawak la. Dah, jangan tanya soklan merepek2. Aku smack down karang!' Then 4th year, tetiba ada krisis yang aku tak boleh maafkan. Kesudahannya, dia jadi kawan biasa, tak lagi kamceng rapat. Aneh, camane rapat pun kiteorang, tak penah sekalipun kuar sesama. Setakat jumpa kat kelas, kat fakulti, kat kawasan apartmen aku dulu. Tupun beramai2 ngan member2 yg lain.

So malam semalam aku hantar msg kat dia. Simple, mcm tiap2 kali aku antar msg dulu - 'A'kum. wey, aku tgh sedih la :( Cuba ko citer, camane nak buat aku hepi?'

Tak sangka plak dier reply. 'Ko jangan fikir sangat la pasal tu. Keluar ngan member2, jangan dok sorang2 je.' Tak banyak yang aku kongsikan kat dia, cuma nak dia nasihatkan aku camane aku boleh improve mood aku yg kejap2 ok, kejap2 tak ok. Last2, dia cakap,

'Aku dpt rasakan ko tgh sedih giler2 skrg. Klu ko perlu someone to share it, aku bersedia nak tolong.'

Agak terhibur bila aku baca mesej tu. Ko memang sahabat sejati aku. N... pepagi lagi dah kejutkan aku untuk Subuh.

Sebelum tertido (& tak sempat pun nak reply msg die!), merenung kejap nasihat dia, 'Jangan terlalu mengagungkan yang lepas. Sampai bila pun ko akan stay macam ni.'

Ko tak faham. Perasaan ni tak penah pudar. It's just that all these responsibilities that I cannot give up now. Bila mereka dah mampu berdiri sendiri, aku akan menarik nafas lega. Saat itu, barulah terlerai tanggungjawab yang terpikul atas bahu aku & kakak. Mungkin 2-3 tahun lagi. Yang pasti bukan sekarang.

Ya Rabb, sungguh ini dugaan-Mu yang paling menyakitkan. Moga Kau kurniakan ketabahan, setabah Ayub A.S.
