Well, the last time I feel like I was challenged to the max was a very long time ago. I can’t remember exactly when actually (except for the last year October’s Tragedy which hurt me a bit but not that bad). But for the few last days, to say they are a bit challenging for me might be an understatement.

I went to Ipoh on Sunday expecting to finish all my paperwork the next day. I have applied for leave and replace it properly by working on the Saturday before.

Monday noon, due to my own carelessness, I hit the bumper of a Peugeot car while being stuck in Ipoh traffic jam. Luckily I just finish reading, “Trump Negotiation Style”. Very good timing. I left only RM 100 poorer.

As it is not enough, on the way to Tronoh my car engine dies. Luckily it stall directly in front of a workshop. Another RM 130 gone.

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I hate not getting my way and I will do everything that I can do to overcome challenges that come my way. So instead of waiting for the car to be fixed, I hailed a cab and continue my journey to Tronoh. I also asked F to rent a car for me so that he can send me to Ipoh when I am done with the paperworks required.

Then while in Tronoh I spent 5 hours waiting for two people to appear in their respective office. At last, one show up. It means I have to extend my stay for another day to meet the other person.

Its very frustrating but as I have a fruitful business meeting with F so I thought the worst has passed for me. I decided to stay in a new hotel in Seri Iskandar (I saw the signboard 10 months ago) just to find out it has closed. Not surprisingly.

So I head on to Batu Gajah. I know they have a golf resort there (Clearwater Sactuary Golf Resort), when again my car conveniently dies again in the middle of a deserted road, in total darkness. So, I whipped my handphone out again just to realize I have minimal battery left on the phone. Make a few quick calls to F, no answer. Send him an sms to rent a car again to get me.

While waiting I walked to the resort, luckily its not that far. With help from the guard at the gate, he send me to the clubhouse, where I booked a chalet for the night.

The resort has free wifi. While checking my email that night, I found out about MV huge refunds problem. As it sort of fall under my responsibility I spend a couple of hours thinking about it before went to bed.

The next day its getting better luckily. After sending my car to the workshop (my fault actually that cause the problem), I went to UTP again, still without luck. Then went to Ipoh for a stable Internet connection to be online for the awesomeness meeting.

Went back to UTP, luckily this time the lady luck is on my side.

Get everything signed prim and proper, submit all the documents and I am back in KL.

Top off the day with a long phone conversation with an old friend.

Phewww.

I hope there is no more such days in my life. Forever.

Enjoy!

I just realised there are too many posts about relationship recently.

This is unhealthy.

I just could not believe how much uneducated our people are about love and relationship.

We don’t talk about this, we are not taught about this, it made a lot of people ignorant. And this ignorant people are abusing not only themselves, but people near them.

This is not good.

But, this I promise myself. No matter how ignorant our people is, I should take a break. Talking about this stuff might take a toll on me.

I won’t post anything about relationship in the next 7 days.

If there is nothing to post about, I will post pictures.

I fiddle around with my trusty iPod touch. My house has wifi network so I can pretty much do almost everything that I want before sleeping.

One of my hobby is exploring Apple Apps Store. Tonight, I saw some personality test that looks credible (unlike Facebook quizzes), so I dowloaded and took one.

The result:

1) You fall in love easily.
2) You need to hear from your loved one everyday.
3) You expect to give 85% and receive 15% in the relationship.

Very true I can say.

Good night!

Again, the Maxis Broadband that we have in the house are so horribly slow it could not open the add new post section on my blog on the laptop. Hence I am writing this on my trusty itouch.

This Friday I planned to make a quick dash to Tronoh. I need to submit all the paperwork related to my internship and do proper clearance as a 1st step to conclude my life as an undergraduate. That same evening my parents will arrive from Kuantan (hopefully as my dad has just been warded today) and later that night Kak Ana will be back.

That’s mean I need to be back in KL by 6 pm because I need to arrange for accomodation for everyone before they landed. My dad and my sister are the two biggest diva in the family and I need to make sure all their logistical need are addressed to avoid what supposed to be a happy family time become a grouchy one.

I am not excited in the prospect of having to complete all the necessary report in 4 days. But I am thrilled for the roadtrip. It’s been a long time since I drive long distance and KL-Perak is definitely a good journey (similar to Perak-Penang)

KL-Kuantan is tiring and not as enjoyable (there is no Baskin Robbin & KFC at the R&R). Plus I have some unforgetabble sweet memories with these routes. They are very familiar as I have drove on them in all imaginable conditions. On a sunny day, on a rainy day and of course on a sleepy night (literally AND really!)

Most of the time risking my life for a very foolish cause if viewed in retrospect. Driving ALONE at 4 am after driving almost non stop for the whole day? What I am thinking about at that time?

But driving along that route make me feel younger (I am still young now if you don’t notice), so carefree and so happy. I am also very happy right now, but these route has a special sentimental value for me.

It fill a void in me which I have been trying to fill for sometime already.

And for this reason, my heart beat faster while Friday become closer. I am just hoping that all the paperwork are done by that time.
