|: Bila Traffic Jam ... :|

Hari-hari di jalanan adakalanya sangat mencabar kesabaran.
Ada yang terlalu gopoh memandu, seolah-olah dia seorang saja yang nak 
ke pejabat. Memecut laju ni...tak agak-agak punya laju. Tiba di depan 
sana, tersangkut jugak dalam deretan kereta Yang mengengsot perlahan. 
Terpaksa la join the queue dan Merangkak bersama-sama.
Aku : (gelakkan aje)

Ada pulak yang memandu terlampau perlahan. Memandu di lane
Kedua sambil menghidup udara pagi.
Yang aku perhatikan selalunya pemandunya dah berumur.
Excuse me, uncle, could you please accelarate a bit
Or kindly move aside to the third lane?
Aku : (temperature badan naik)

Ada yang menjarakkan keretanya dengan kereta depan dalam gap yang
Agak besar. So, bila queueu bergerak, dia bergerak dalam jarak
Yang tak sampai suku pusingan tayar.
Helloooooooooooo...we're not speeding right now...
Following a bit close won't do any harm...
Aku : (Sempat potong 10 kuku tangan. Nasib baik aku tak angkat kaki 
potong kuku kaki jugak)

(: Killing Two Birds with One Stone :)

How do we kill two harmful birds with one
stone?
Should the stone be big enough to hit them
both at one time? And the
birds are close enough to each other?

Or on a second thought, should we just shoo
them away instead of
killing them? But will they ever come back?

Or maybe we could just kill one of them.
For sure, the other one won't be stupid
enough to remain there, eh?

(: 10 Things I learnt In A Week :)

1) Pushing off late from home to workplace
    will cause horror.
2) One hour driving through Kesas Highway
   to Putrajaya is a lot better than one hour
    'snailing' through Federal Highway to Petaling Jaya.
3) Traffic jam is the BIGGEST boredom.
4) Blank stare at the monitor screen is the
    SECOND biggest boredom.
5) Talking to colleagues is considered chit-chatting.
     Netsending is OK.
6) Pretend to look busy is tough.
7) Appreciate time - counting hours, minutes and seconds (?).
8) Lunch + prayers should be in ONE go.
9) Going back at 1730 SHARP is HEAVEN.
10) Caught in the traffic-jam (again) is another disaster.

|: Ruang Masa :|

Ada ketika 'ruang' dan 'masa' atau bak kata orang
putih 'space' and 'time' sangat membantu
bila kita berdepan dengan masalah yang sangat
mengusutkan.

Kita me'jarak'kan diri daripada sesuatu masalah
tetapi tidak bererti kita melarikan diri selama-lamanya.
Kita cuba duduk dalam suatu ruang lingkup yang lain
dan cuba melihat masalah itu dari suatu sudut atau
perspektif yang berbeza dari kelazimannya.
Adakala 'ruang' ini akan memberi kita satu ketenangan yang
amat kita perlukan dan memberikan kita
gambaran rasional yang lebih jelas.

'Masa' tidak pernah menunggu kita.
Bila kita menunggu masa, kita yang terasa seksanya.
Masa tetap terus pergi meninggalkan kita.
Kita yang harus berlari seiring dengan masa,
supaya kita tak terasa penantian itu suatu penyeksaan.

Aku rasa 'ruang' kecil ini sangat membantu.
Mungkin aku perlu perbesarkan 'ruang' ini.
Melihat hidup dengan 'ruang' berbeza.
Menghayati hidup dalam 'masa' yang ada.

(: Same boat :)

I haven't met her since I came back here.

She's my ex-classmate during my secondary
school.
She was the one that would read the answers for me
when I forgot to do my homeworks especially Math
homeworks.
I would put the the exercise book on my lap
scribbling down the answers. She would read
the answers for me and at the same time eyeing
the teacher at the front class who was already asking
students to submit the homeworks at the teacher's table.
She has been a great help to me.

We went to different universities. Then, I went abroad
and she went to Maktab Perguruan to become a teacher.
A Math teacher, suits her well.

I used to hang out with her, watching movies before
I went abroad.
When I came back, I hesitated to give her a call.
Apart from being jobless for several months, I was kinda
afraid to know that she might have already married.
That would give me a hollow feeling, thinking that
'ops..more people around me are or getting married,
leaving the singles lesser and lesser'.

But then, she talked to my mom over the phone
when I was not at home and from my mom, I know that
she is still single. (Like me?)
Well, I could not help but feeling relief.
At least, I know we are in the same boat.
I went to meet her. She's with her problems and
I'm with mine.
We exchanged stories.
We then unintenionally met our other ex-classmate.
A must-question : "Dah kawin?", asking each other.
The answer is NO. More people are joining the boat.
Or maybe they are already in the same boat but I was not
aware of that.

The boat is getting heavier. It might sink.
Who wants to jump first?
I wish I could jump but I do not know how to swim.
I think I'll wait in here till it sinks...
