Rain

KL is raining almost everyday. I'm really bad at Geography, but as far as I know the Northeast monsoon brings heavy rainfall only to the east side. And KL is err more to Eastern side I supposed? Tapi bukankah hujan itu rahmat Allah? Alhamdulillah.

Believe it or not, I finally hit the track back, after God knows for how long, since graduated kott? Fuh. Running shoes pon dah expired. I tried to be consistent, but who are we to change the weather? On the third week, I planned to go to the park on Saturday, woke up early in the morning, just like the normal working days, basuh muka gosok gigi, (I don't usually take bath before jogging hihi), getting ready... and..It was suddenly raining.heavily. it seemed that the rain was not gonna stop for a while. lebat sangat.I was so frustrated. As if the rain is the reason I couldn't be consistent, the rain spoiled my perfect plan, the rain ruined my mood and blablabla. Bad mood. Waiting for the rain to stop, getting all stress out when the rain was getting heavier, countdown,countdown and countdown.. in the end what I got was just a wasted Saturday morning. *sigh*

On the next morning, it was also raining. But this time, i was not gonna wait like an idiot anymore. I don't have the power to stop the rain, but I have 100% control of myself. I can change the way I think, I have full control over my emotion, I have the chance to upgrade my plan to a better one. On a simpler note, there are a thousand things I could do other than stopping the rain.

So I sat at the balcony, I can still see KLCC from far, but not as clear as usual.. I read a book while having a cup of warm tea. Felt so good. and relax. about half an hour passed, hujan tak stop lagi, tibe2, rase nak mandi hujan. Yes, sangat tibe-tibe yang mengejutkan. Every drop of the rain that fall urged me to come closer. So tempting. Not like usual, without any thinking, not even changing my cloth, I just walked out to the end side of balcony, extending my neck as giraffe as I can, looking at the rain that fall, trying to catch as much drops as I could and..... I got really wet in no time. Ahhh...It was sooo refreshing. felt like ages since I last dancing in the rain. Time kecik2 dulu suka la, sekarang ujan sikit menggelupur carik payung, puteri air sangat haih. End up, my younger sister and two cousins joined me as well. We were singing, shouting, like nobody's business. I hope we didn't bother the neighbour since the rainfall melody sounded more comforting than anything else.

The next few days, in the evening, my car broke down when it was nearly maghrib. Me and mama had no option. we had to walk home about 20mins. maghrib and hujan, so obviously taxi was impossible.  Instead of being stressed, we were happy to walk. Luckily, we had an umbrella in the car. But after a few mins of walking, Mama said "tak payah la payung angah, tutup je. alang2 dah basah jom kite mandi ujan. mama pon dah lama tak main hujan." I closed the payung. and we walked home with joy. you know that feeling? You have no idea how much I enjoyed that moment ;) hehe.

Now, rain can never bring me down again. God gives me rain, I could throw the umbrella and dance happily. you should try this :P

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain" literally...

This is not rain.  but I just miss those moments :( 

 Sometimes we tend to focus more on the uncontrollable, without realizing we take for granted things we have full power on.

Broga!

I finally made it to Broga Hill! selepas di kutuk2 oleh rakan2, "apa ni orang KL xpernah naik Broga?" "takde life la weekend2 buat apa Broga pon xnaik2?" dan kutukan seangkatan dengannya. hehe. Thanks so colleagues yang sudi ajakkk! :D :D

Engineer vs Teacher?

"No matter how high a bird can fly, it still has to look for food on the ground"

My cousin is a teacher, in fact I have a few aunties who are also teachers, primary school secondary school, semua ade. One day, all of a sudden  my cousin asked me this cepumas question when I was eating,

"Angah susah ke kerja jadi engineer?" 

To be honest, I don't know how to answer this, unless if she asked about my work specifically, then it should be easier to answer, but to generalize the engineer's job? I don't know. I was about to answer "STRESS", yes loud and bold, but then I realized semua kerja pon stress kan? So I quickly change my mind,

"Uhmm, depends la kot. ade yg senang ade yg sush, depends on field and company. Nape akak tanya tibe2?"

Then she told me about this one young engineer, who posts about Engineer vs Teachers in her blog, successfully increased her blog traffic, got a lot of comments and got so many hits in one day. tibe2 terus jadi famous blog die. Why? Sebab die telah mengkritik cikgu sewenang-wenangnya.I'm not gonna put her link here but if you search Cikgu Vs Engineer InsyaAllah akan jumpe even she already deleted all her entries. Because Google did a good job by caching her old entries, so a few bloggers managed to post her hot entry on their blog. 

Freedom of speech. So she has the right to write anything.. blog dia suka hati die la kan? But as an engineer, I feel so embarrassing reading her entry. I don't know what is the right term to use, mungkin 'lupa daratan' atau 'kacang lupakan kulit' atau 'si tanggang'? you told me. 

But one thing we need to remember... Tiap kali berdoa..

" Ya Allah, ampunkan dosa2ku, dosa kedua ibu bapaku, dosa GURU-GURUku, ahli keluargaku.............." 

Tak penah dengar lagi orang berdoa

"Ya Allah, ampunkan dosaku, dosa kedua ibu bapaku, dosa ENGINEER-ENGINEER......".. or maybe not yet. 

That shows how much our teachers mean to us...Mulianya kerja seorang guru, to be honest, I feel jealous, because I didn't get as much prayers as Teachers do. maybe we should include engineer in our doa then? T_T

Typing

I think i'm a bit weird in some way. I have troubles with the most simple thing. Matters that no one thinks they would have problem with happened to be "my biggest problem" ever. I feel like sharing one of those, just to find out who would be on the same wavelength.

I started typing on laptop/computer's keyboard since I was a kid. Be it playing games or randomly type anything. Just to give some ideas that typing is not a new thing for me. If I'm not mistaken it was my freshman year when I started to live with people who have laptop with them all the time, one of those day, I suddenly realized that I don't type like anybody else. Oh well, too sad to be truth, I use only one finger to type, so with 2 hands, I only use two fingers! sounds so cacat. but it's indeed true. But trust me, it's not that I never try to type like normal people, I still remember I spent my spring break during freshman/sophomore year practicing using all fingers to type. Or I could say using the right technique, but I ended up fail. and wasting my one week break just like that. Feeling sad... and never try it again.

Guess whattt? I found this photo on facebook a  few months ago. It really madee my dayyy! :D

OH OH I AM NOT ALONE! :D

People would never know I have this so-called big problem because I type as fast as normal people, or evennnn fasterr than them. Unless they're right beside me, then they will know because the kelentang kelentung sound that I produced from typing. kahkah. Tak percaya? Tanya kawan kawan saya hihi. sampai diorang tanya, "wehhh ko menaip keee mengetuk laptop??" *Of course they're exaggerating.durhh. like i really make that sound?*

p/s: This is not the only "weird" problems I have, later I will share my big troubles with spelling. NO NO, it's not the common spelling mistake like other people do, mine is nothing like them.

Surprise!

"A faithful friend is the medicine of life - Apocrypha"

Last weekend was not more than just a dream for me. Sweet, short and unbelievable. But too bad, It was over when I started to realize it was all real. Got a phone call from roomate on Friday morning saying she was on the bus and will arrive at Pudu in 20 minutes. Sambil mamai2 baru bangun tdo, I asked her more than 10 times, "ko tipu keee", "kalau tipu taknak kawan sampai bilaaa22", because I was so shocked, I was not expecting her to come all the way from Penang just to be here. Clueless. Menggelabah. Mandi cepat2 and fetch her at Pudu.

The next day, I expected another friend to come, she said she will come no matter what. So, I drove to LRT station to pick her up. But guess what? they got me twice!! Surprise after surprise, she was not alone. She brought another favorite friend with her, who came all the way from Kelantan. fuh fuh.  smile from ear to ear. nonstop talking and laughing. dari pagi sampai ke malam. double the food, double the happiness. I was so happpppyyy! :D :D

I just don't know how to put this into words. But they make me happy more than anyone else could. It's true, "happiness comes when you least expect it" :)

Thanks for lying me the wholeee weeekk. Thanks for the never ending dramaa. And Thanks for the well-planned surprise! hehehe. My life would not be as great without you guys :')

And that was the best surprise I have ever had...

and a good recharge session indeed :)
