Cerita Housemate Lagi.. Bile Nak Habis Ni?

2009-10-17T07:28:00.000-07:00

This is the fate for people like who rented rooms. My housemates and roomates will eventually change faces for some reasons whatsoever. The "broom incident" as my dear Lady Bie had remembered is not the only incident I had experience before. Haha.

I had started renting house since December 2004. My first roomates were Huda and Habsah, my university mates. At that time I had just started work in KL. The first rooms we rented were a small room in a big two stories penthouse in Vista Angkasa. The "tuan rumah" is an Indian.

The nightmare for us was that he had turned the penthouse into something like a dorm. He took a lot of tenants in. He even added additional rooms made by some carpenter to occupied more girls. The girls that occupied the room slept on the floor, crowded with three of them and hardly any space to put their things in. We had wondered how the hell did they manage to squeeze in like that. Imagine you have to stepped on each others just to get to the door.

We had moved not because we did not like our "tuan rumah". He was okay I guess. But it was because the bad leaking in our rooms that he had made it worst by fixing it himself. It almost flooded our room. Then the three of us moved to another house which we happily shared for a while. These two are a good roomates to me.

My next house was fine. We did our own things and kept to ourselves. It is just that we could not find anyone to rent a room and we are short of rent money by the end of the month. The "tuan rumah" keep demanding it from my friend. He is just not someone who you can tolerate with. One of the ex-housemates, the one who left the room empty also kept demanding her deposit money back. Well we said, since she did not even helped to find a replacement and yet kept calling to ask for her money and did not understand a bit about the situation we were having. Some people huh.

Well my next house.. I save it when I am in the mood to talk about it. That one is quite a long story that one. The "broom incident" house was the last house I moved out of.

Now my current house, we were looking for housemates for the master bedrooms since the last occupant had moved out. I had leave all those to my friend. She is the one who usually posted the advertisement for room vacancies. There are two of them now in the room. One had moved in. The other one.. well this one..

She had came with her parents last two weeks I think to look at the house. Well, well, her mother was maybe over-concern for her daughter had taken everything in and had quite a lot to say about most of the things like where to put things, duplication of the "beranda" grill door, even though this whole time we kept only one for public use, the locks in the kitchen, bla.. blaa.. bla.. Well that is fine for me, first time loooking for a new place right?

Then they came again, this time to send a few things to be kept in the room. Again the mother seems to pot pet pot pet about the house again. We just smiled. Even the father came in to see the house himself. At this time, I felt like, is the parents moving in too????

The third time they came again, and this time it is just for a while. Just greet then let them do their things. Sending in things again.

And yesterday.. again.. this time I did not realize they are in the house because I was in the room playing my computer. When I got out to the kitchen, they were praying outside and I was wearing my boxers. Ouch, at least the daughter could warned me. I did not mind whatsoever but as for the father, if he wants to pray, I could point him to the nearest surau. It would be more appropriate as they are still other tenants living in this house.. hello?? not only your daughter.

I was quite mad you see, what if I had gone out with only my towels. I may not be as embarass because it my house. But what about the parents? They certainly would. But the should not do this. If you just want to move, come in once and sort out all things. Not just walk in like you own the damn house or treating it like a high school dorm.

Fuh.. is it time to look for another place.. again??????

Pindah Sana Pindah Sini

2009-08-27T21:09:00.000-07:00

Last night while me and my housemate are breaking fast at home, just the two of us, she told me that she and my other housemate are going to move out. I was quite surprise as that is a little bit sudden. But maybe it was the other day incident that had happened between them and my other housemate.

Getting a new housemate is not a thrill for me because from my experience, those who move in the house much later than me tend to be somewhat bossy, thinks that they are the only ones who lived there and others does not matter, annoying and tend to create trouble.

As the previous house, which I had left and notified them after I had moved all of my things out of the house. Just the incident of the broom is parked near her boxes of food which I did not notice. I had even said sorry. I had blogged about this but had been deleted. Even though the problem is with one person, I had decided to move that very night when she ticks me off without respect, somewhere in the middle of the night, knocking my doors repeatedly as if you can't wait until morning and also in front of my friends at that time.

And before that.. let's not get into it.. that was a long long time ago and long forgotten. But this previous incident had me thinking of moving elsewhere. I need a bigger space with my things are continually growing. :D

It's My Life not Yours

2009-08-22T18:41:00.000-07:00

Do you let other people decide when you will do for your future? Even though you are not so fond of engineering but you took it up anyway because of the big money it offers and the glamors of an engineer it projects. For guys, it will be easier to score girls as they will look for either an engineer or a doctor.

Even we have decided for our own, sometimes people will come and say things to us. Nak tak nak, we have to listen and will get confused. Betul ke ape yang aku buat ni? When we are young, we depended on our elders to help us in a decision. But they sometimes don't know what we really want to do. When we tried to tell them, they dismissed us and told us to take up something worthwhile.

The same goes for applying government jobs or even bank jobs. If you do not enjoy it and got will stuck doing it forever. People will stay for the benefit sake. I don't deny it has good benefits. If you do something that you enjoy then it should be fine. If not? I did apply because of the mentality of most people that everyone should go for government job. Kalau semua orang nak kerja gomen sape yang nak keje swasta?

I am speaking this for myself. I rather be in a position and work that I like, giving me new knowledge, rather than stuck somewhere because of some benefit it offers and I am not happy with the job.

Jenis Mak Cik yang Kita Harap Tak Datang Dekat dengan Kita

2009-08-20T06:22:00.000-07:00

Don't expect only young people are working in your the office. There are the seniors.. the one I prefer to call "makcik-makcik". Makcik-makcik yang kerja office Grade A mesti makcik-makcik yang vogue. Tudung manik-manik, labuci-labuci dan baju kurung bertukar warna setiap hari. Kalau ada warna pelangi pun Makcik-makcik akan pakai. But this is not why I hate them.

There are;

1. The impatient "makcik-makcik"
You are busy. But they expect you to drop everything and cater their needs. Even though it just to show where the toilet tissues are. They will stand by you or keep tugging your sleeves like a child wants ice cream until they get what they want. But when they are busy, they expected not to be disturb. Ooohh.. not fair dowh...

2. The "Kecohs" & The Busybody "Makcik-makcik"
They are so "kepoh" even though it is just a small things said in the office. Like 'the big boss has gone crazy and is climbing a coconut tree in front of the office'. Well, everyone gets crazy sometimes don't we. They will make noise and buzzing around when other people are trying to do their work. Office gossips does not interest me when I am busy.

3. The "Kelam-kabut Makcik-makcik"
When you have a presentation or going to conduct a training. Please do prepare yourself. Not going around disturbing others while others are busy just to help your "cerewet" self to setup everything. Unfortunately for you, we are not your bloody "kuli".

4. Talking to you while you are on the phone
My personal pet peeves. Can't you just see that we are on the phone. When actually I have a pair of ears. I can't listen and digest two conversation at once. This can be put under the impatient category as well.

Last one, don't know whether you experienced this or not but I do.

5. Talking to you and suddenly talking to someone else as if you do not exist even though you are in the middle of talking or asking something important. One minute your talking to me, belum habis cakap lagi, tetiba angkat telefon dah bercakap dengan orang lain pulak. Aku dah terpinga-pinga. Ouch.

No offence. Not all act this way. But those who does, brings bad names to the other "Makcik-makcik".

Evening in Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Tun Razak Sucks

2009-08-14T09:31:00.000-07:00

The title is not relevant to this post. Haha. It is just that this week I had started my new job in Jalan Bukit Bintang. Every evening going back home from work I had to go through these two roads to reach Ampang Park LRT. Very bad traffic jam I must say.

Forget about the traffic jam.. Before I had resigned from the previous company, I had had a heavy feeling. Not a heavy heart of leaving the old company but a heavy heart of going into another one. It is like I don't prefer to work in either company. The old one nor the new one.

The signs are.. for my first day.. Woke up at 7.30...I came into the office at 8.45 sharp. Office hours starts at 8.45. Usually I would love to come early. I don't bother to dress sharp for my first day impression.

As my heavy feelings had predicted, I had got my first surprise for the whole day. My job description is not what my job title inflicted. I was surprise and unhappy. When they offered me the job they did not specified what I would do. But the professional that I am, I smiled and learn like a newbie I am suppose to be. It has been a one unhappy week though I continue as if nothing is going on in my mind.

My unsatisfied feelings grew everyday when people are asking am I replacing the other girl, like permanently, which is not what I am suppose to be doing.

Those who knew me, would probably know I am not that patient to stay around to see what happen next. I am already thinking of leaving. Is leaving wise? It is still a question that I kept asking myself from my unhappy first day.

I would prefer a job that brings new knowledge for me. Which I had expected. Not something that I had done before which I'm not so into it. But got dissappointed instead. Now is not the time for me to look for more work experience anymore. It is time to look for a stable job and which I could really could stand to stay long enough to work. Experience wise.. almost 5 years.. Not enough ke?

Sheeshh.. I am so unhappy.

A Weekend with Hell Girl

2009-07-19T05:46:00.000-07:00

If you think sitting at home on weekends are boring, I don't agree. After a tired week of non-stop work, I just need a break. Lying on my bed at home feels so good. Doing what I want to do, not someone else wants to do. And it is not boring when you have the Internet with you.

Saturday morning I had breakfast with the girls. And all the other time, I'm spending my precious time with facebook's games and youtube anime, Hell Girl. My brother had told me to get a life, Saturday night is not for watching youtube alone at home. It is the middle of the month too, I don't think going out is such a good idea.

I think I had been watching Hell Girl too much, I am starting to wonder. What if we do have some Hell Girl tuck somewhere by a secluded river just waiting for someone who wants revenge and someone else to summon her?

Let me introduce the Hell Girl to you, the Hell Girl's name is Enma Ai. She has a website which can be access only at the stroke of midnight. In the website, anyone will put in the name of the person they want revenge on. The request will go to Enma Ai and she will give this doll with a red ribbon. When lets say you really wants revenge on his your enemy, you will pull the ribbon and the next thing you knew the person you hate will be ferried to hell. But there is a catch, if you pull the red ribbon, you will make a covenant with Enma Ai. When you die, you will also go to hell.

Episodes of Hell Girl often features those who are bullied. Bullied too much for them too handle and too much for hatred to form in them. I am not suggesting that if you are bullied you should contact Hell Girl. Hell you should contact the police. There is nothing which can't be solved. After all it is just a test for us human in this temporary world. When those people who had wanted revenge, it cross their minds that they had given their soul to be in Hell which is for eternity but they choose to ignore it because it had not happen yet

I wish I could have revenges on the people I hate too or had bullied me at some point. But nah, I don't want to spend the time in hell with that person. Even though he/she entered hell way before I do. I choose to stand up for myself and get a solution without me going to Hell. But anyway, I enjoyed watching Hell Girl. One of my favorite anime.

Revenge is actually sweet when you finally see the person you hated gone, gone to hell or suffering. I will just let that happen naturally. I believe in karma, what goes around comes around. Just have to wait the person I hated will finally gets what he/she deserved. If not now.. then it is in the after life then..

For dear friends, thank you for continuously reading my not so great blog. Let's drink to the unknown blog of the unknown girl shall we?
