48 odd hours into 2013

I'm at kulai town today for works. two nursery visits; one for the audit and the other one for culling. i traveled yesterday from carey island about noon, arrived at kulaijaya exit about 330 pm and then got lost a bit in the small town of kulai to find kulai (obviously) estate.

during the search, i drove all the way to ioi mall (the other ioi mall) and into some sort of upmarket residential area. guess in kulai the real estate is not that bad though. saw this one ads for terraced house 18x70 selling for 182K. not bad.

finally reached estate nearing 430 but the sky is already dark. in fact it's raining cats and dogs by the time i left. the nursery is in kelan division which is quite interior with a small road leading to the AP post. the road is quite bad; in fact i checked with the assistant to be certain on the road.

My drove down here is so so. I drove a little bit worn out hilux...basically due to heavy usage but insufficient care. but anyway it served its purpose.

i stayed in this d'sayang hotel...not the most luxurious but this is kulai...the room a bit like banting's garden hotel. its new, the mattress still firm though. the rate is 88-special offer. and its beside tesco.

got a ktv at the top floor...the sound could be heard in my room till late. hotel guest got a 30% discount voucher. too bad i'm not in the mood for some vocal workout.

tomorrow morning i'll leave for seri pulai estate for the final culling...about < 10k seedlings to be assessed. -yawn-. anyway i'll jump into other car tomorrow, a ford ranger. the job won't be too long i supposed; should be back by noon.

so that's it..travelling on the first day of 2013. sure'll be many more to come for this year.

as of today

tonight i'm gonna whine.

2 reports pending. secretary for meeting tomorrow. house on construction-no electricity and water yet. current rent house-stuff still not packed. grasses in the lawn seems to be taller by inches a day. back lawn looks like avatar's shooting area (extra size banana tree anyone?). i saw spider much like tarantula last 2-3 days in the house. still not bought the stove, fridge, washing machine etc yet.

wedding card still not completed. my ring not finished. my suit not finished. just got glass bowl for the door gift. kuantan-banting-muar-banting-kluang-nilai-banting in 4 days. hm...what else ya...

marking for student papers still not finished. extra one report for yesterday visit. data migration for 7 estates not completed. Mplan coming. trial still not kicked off. furniture for the house. photographer during the wedding.

sometime i feel exhausted. but i kinda like it. have something to do and not doing it is much better feeling than have nothing to do. just like how u slept in the dorm when there's class during college years is more satisfying then when u actually have no class.

but...if ever u feel stuck with the stuff, before u start blaming everything under the sun, take a step back and see what's going on. shit happens only if u allow it. all the issue roots from yourself.

freedom to think

I've just checking some of the political blogs that i frequented; chedet, rockybru, helen ang, jebat must die, outsyed the box...to name a few. they're somehow more leaned to BN. lot of issues i read...the best part is checking on the comments posted by their dear readers.

for chedet, which is Tun Dr. Mahathir's blog, you can see that we Malaysians are so full of intellectual (pun intended). haha. quite a heaty discussion there among the regulars...and i can't help but to feel that they somehow want to show how knowledgeable they are with the facts, figures, suggestions, debate etc...i wonder if Tun ever read the comments. anyway Tun's pieces is thought provoking and simple enough to deliver his message.

another highlight is at helen ang's blog. i quite enjoyed reading her material considering the simple writing style and interesting takes on issues highlighted. recently she seems to be bashing DAP quite frequently...giving me some food for thoughts. and on his comments, it's interesting that whenever she wrote something quite unfavorable about DAP, some nasty and abusive comments surely will come out.

i don't know if this is how they run politics nowadays. not that i'm old, but i always believe the adage that how you act; the way  you talk, your words, your writing etc shows what you're inside. and seeing the comments...make me sick to think that this is our voters. harsh words, abusive remarks are aplenty. more interesting comments are in Malaysia Kini...gone are the days of sopan santun and wisdom in words. foul words instead are in abundance.

some comments are far from being constructive. some are downward humiliating. i don't know what kind of sick people who wrote those stuff. i don't even have a heart to read...and these are our fellow Malaysian. at least if you want to take a man down and put your idolised leader up, might as well do it in style.

L.a.z.i.n.e.

15th March 2012.1455.At the office.
I'm too lazy to finish the title.


Why do today what you can do tomorrow?

Tomorrow is where all your spirits are, where all your dreams reigned, where you will become a better man, eat more veggies, stop smoking and stop taking sugar, stop surfing the net during office hour...start saving your money, where all your motivation stored...and as of today just enjoy your sweet time cause you know you'll be a changed men tomorrow.

Except that when you wake up tomorrow's morning it's today again...ha.

"U mad, bro?"

Work is a friend

Apparently today I got a hell of work to do...to clear up my back logs fom way back when. My department is undergoing restructure, just after a year of 'new structure'. Weird. New people come in, new way of thinking. I don't even know what's right anymore.

Anyway, since that my mind is quite preoccupied with work all day long, I would like to share with you my dear readers, a short poem written by none others, the esteemed, Mr. John D. Rockerfeller...-enjoy-

"....I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;

Full of work and full of play-

I dropped the worry on the way-

And God was good to me everyday."

emosi

Saban hari aku merenung diri dan sekeliling. Persekitaranku tak banyak berubah, tak seiring dengan beralihnya waktu. Ruangku beku, kaku, membatu. Aku tersekat di tempat ku berdiri. Masa depan dan masa lalu terhenti seketika disaat ini, mengkirakan kemana arah tujuan seterusnya.

Aku bosan sebenarnya. Bosan dan malas. Adakah itu sesuatu yang buruk. Aku tak ingin lagi cuba merubah diriku menjadi rajin, mengikut pandangan majoriti. Perubahannya tak akan kekal. Ahh! Bosan. Bosan. Bosan. Jalan hidup yang mendatar membuatku mengantuk. Kukira ku boleh tidur dari Jumaat ke Ahad.

Aku bukanlah seorang adventur tapi entah kenapa aku rasa resah. Ada sesuatu yang meragut passion ku. Terasa berat kaki ini untuk melangkah seolah diikat bebola besi. Kedengaran seperti omongan kosong. Biarlah, aku juga perlukan ruang ekspresi.

Sistem meragut impianku. Fikiranku dibatasi normaliti. Kehendak duniawai mengatasi keperluan rohani. Free choice is an illusion. More and more we are succumbing to the system. Semakin hari kita semakin sama. Pilihanku dibentuk kehendak sekeliling. Tindakanku diatur keadaan semasa. Fikiranku mengikut media massa. Aku...hanyalah interpretasi kepada normaliti ruang dan masa sekarang.

Aku yang hakiki hanya wujud didalam mimpi. Mungkin sebab itu aku suka tidur.

d.r.i.v.e

i drove with the window down
feels the wind brushing on my face
my hand holding a cig'
i just don't give a damn

it's just the feeling u love the most
when you are traveling from A to B
anything in between just don't matter
a moment cut out from your life

you had a chat inside your mind
seeing your life from outside the line
your dreams stretched with the road in front
that takes you where ever you want

it comes to an abrupt end
when u finally reach your destination
later, my friend
as u turn the key and stop the ignition.
