La Misión Logró

It means.. Mission Accomplished!

Yesterday, my task was to drive the volkswagon from JB to Seremban. I really have to prepare myself mentally, physically and pocketly because the car was consuming gas like 2 mercedesz cars when I drove in town.

Without doing the Jumaat Prayer, we (me & izzat) left at around 1.30 from Bandar Baru Uda. Oh yeah, Izzat has just finished his SPM exams, so I was actually waiting for him, then only i can make a move to Seremban.

I refueled the car to the max. Never expect this, the tank can actually fit in more than RM60 of petrol. Yesterday I filled in RM55 of petrol, with quite a lot of balance inside it. I always use Esso/Mobil.

I was driving at 40 mph, slowly and sometimes it does reach 45 mph. Then, our first stop was at the Kulai stop. I went for the toilet, leave the rear bonnet opened, bought some curry puffs, and drink, and we proceed with the journey till the Machap R&R. We had our lunch, I had meehoon soup while izzat took mee soto.

It was damn hot! I opted not to switch the air-conditioner on to avoid any problem with the engine, unless it's raining. The weather would be colder and the air going through the engine would be colder too!

The gas was still full. After 20 minutes, we continued with our journey. Again we stopped at the Yong Peng stop, again I went for the toilet. Then we proceed drive till we reach the Pagoh R&R.

I decided to stop and do our Jamak Prayers there. As usual, we left the bonnet opened, and left for surau. Surprisingly, there were people selling durians. This is not suppose to be the season of durian yet. The seller told me that, sometimes the trees bloomed their flowers at a wrong timing, so that result the durian to fruit at this time.

I paid RM10 and enjoyed the durians!

Izzat with the durians. At the back there was the chinese old man who sold me the durians!

Done with that, we proceed with the journey. After a few stops, the car was a lil bit lighter, the engine was smoother, till it produced the very original and expensive whistling beetle sounds from it's exhausts. The car easily reached 50 mph, and there were times i reached 65 mph.

Looking at it, it was speeding at 50mph but still it was still taking over a lot of cars. At that time, I was cruising at the right lane of the highway! Look at the fuel also. It was still full!

At that time, I even took over a mercedesz and a honda accord! But of course, the car was cruising down the hill haha!

And then again, we stopped at the Ayer Keroh Bridge Restaurant, as usual, we left the rear bonnet opened, and we left for ice cream. When I got back to the car, people were already surrounding the car and asked me hundreds of questions about the car. Yeah, it was a very beautiful car, but wait for the next project car, it will come up in February!

So bugfest next year, wait for this new car!

After a while, we reached home at around 5.30, a lot earlier than I expected.

So i've got to get ready for the wedding event. See ya all there!

December 1, 2005

Today, that is an amazing thursday.

First of all, as today is 1st December, I'd like to wish a friend of mine, Erein, who opened up the shell station at Ulu Klang,

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY!!!

Just now, I was doing my Malay blog.

Been in JB since Monday, as I was suffering from the eye sore, caused by my ignorance, by going to sleep without removing the contact lenses.

Once I reached JB, after dealing with the bank matters with my mom and to the clinic, I was on the bed for the rest of the day!

Sarc called when I was waiting for my mom in front of the bank.

Tuesday I went shopping with my mom. Bought myself a pretty purple Baju Melayu, to be wore on the wedding day of my brother. The wedding has a theme color, so it is purple.

Then my father drove my car away to Seremban, leaving me his daily driven volkswagon for me to gamble for my driving journey back to Seremban on Friday, after Izzat finished his SPM.

My father dropped by Pagoh, and called me asking where did he put his house key? I told him that I've no idea at all. Asked to search for it, I did and I called him back to letting it to his knowledge that I haven't found the keys.

A few minutes later, he called home, telling me that, he lost his handphone. My father was trying to blame me by saying, it was you called, then I put the handphone at the wudhuk place, then later I've forgotten!

For god sake, Abah, what is happening to you? So absent-minded, but I guess Abah is just so burdened up with a lot of things going on. Well, how many times I did tell you to keep your phone in your pocket, nowhere else. There's nothing wrong if u put your phone in the pocket and when it rings, just ignore it!

LESSON :: Always keep your handphone in your pocket!

I just can't wait for wednesday. There's a lot of things to be done. I'm going to put get the volkswagon a CD player, complete with all the speakers. The car was barely boring without all those things inside.

Continuously exciting, I met Sarc for the first time at the Johor Bahru City Square. I can't imagine myself, driving straight from the car accessory shop meeting her. Being improperly dressed, we went to Vivo for a so-so dinner and went to Danga Bay for an extension of our conversations.

On Thursday, after picking up my brother from his school, I went to Pelangi for another lunch meeting. There was this incident where a moron driver, who refused to do anything, when the barrier wasn't going up! It took a driver to get out of his car, to tell the driver to pay the ticket first. And it took me to check out what was going on.

What happened was, the driver was trying to escape the route, by driving over the divider. Oh gosh! It really looks like a criminal in an escape attempt. Me and sarc were wondering what has been going wrong with the driver. Well, we managed to get ourselves out of the building and sent her to the office, while I later drove back home.

After some blog hopping, I realized something. I've met Elly (not nik elyani ok) somewhere else before I met her for the first time (it should be the second time now) sometimes ago.

Something about Elly, she's a super nice lady, we did talk about a lot of things, and recently she posted about her long lost love (hehe) which a lil bit touched me at the mere bottom of my heart.

I've gotta know this one lady, CKin, who found me up through my older blog, while she was looking for a suitable place for karaoke.We became friends, and we met at the Hard Rock Cafe. She wasn't the clubbing type, but she was there as the band members were her friends. There, I met Elly as well, and I was about to mingle around with all her friends, but then I've forgotten!

The world is too small. Then I met Elly again, without realizing that I've met her in HRC before.

I just wanna wish her Happy 29th birthday. Her birthday was on the 27th, which was on last Sunday. Same day as Sazuan Nazrah's birthday. Tasha's was on the 26th. Wani my cousin was on the 20th, same day as Nurul Jannah. Khalila was on the 11th of November and Ija, was on the 10th.

Life is so amazing. As amazing as today.

I think today is an amazing day.

Balik ke JB

Seksa sungguh nak balik ke JB. Isnin yang lepas, aku bangun pagi sambil menyedari yang kanta lekapku masih lagi melekap di anak mata. Aduh, sungguh herot berot pandanganku waktu itu. Aku sangsi adakah mataku akan merah seperti biasa sekiranya kanta lekap ku tidak dibuka seperti ini.

Ku jengah cermin muka, ku lihat sedalam-dalamnya ke dalam anak mataku. Mata putihku sungguh merah, menyala bagaikan marah. Terasa juga kepedihan yang menusuk ke pangkal mata. Otakku terasa berat, walaubagaimanapun, aku mesti terus pulang ke JB hari ini juga.

Pagi2 lagi aku sudah bertandang ke Klinik 24 jam di Senawang itu. Aku ingin membeli ubat sahaja tapi nampaknya mereka mahu aku bertemu doktor juga. Lambatlah kalau begitu. Aku menunggu, tapi setelah agak lama, barulah pekerja itu menanyakan aku adakah aku ingin pergi bekerja.

Sudah tentu aku mengiyakan sahaja sambil mengatakan yang aku ingin memandu pulang ke JB. Lalu mereka bertanyakan ubat apa yang aku ingin beli. Aku terus menyebut Dextracin, ubat yang selalunya mujarab untuk menghilangkan kemerahan di mataku itu.

Malangnya, Dextracin tiada dalam stock mereka. Ahh kecewanya. Ada ubat Neo Deca, tapi aku memilih untuk menggunakan Nicol. Lalu kuteruskan memandu ke JB.

Sebaik jam berdetik ke waktu 7.15 pagi, aku terus memasuki lebuhraya. Baru beberapa detik perjalanan, kepedihan di mataku mula menyengat. Aku langsung tidak dapat membuka mataku. Aku lebih banyak memejamkan mata dari membuka mata. Aku singgah di perhentian Pedas/Linggi. Aku titiskan ubat tersebut ke dalam mata dan menghalakan mataku ke arah penghawa dingin. Terasa agak lega, dan aku cuba meneruskan perjalananku.

Namun masih begitu keadaannya. Aku berhenti beberapa kali kerana mataku tidak dapat menahan kecerahan kekuatan pancaran ultra-V dari sinar matahari. Begitu juga dengan melihat skrin komputer. Namun hari itu, langit sungguh cerahm tidak mendung seperti biasa. Kereta yangku pandu merangkak-rangkak, terhoyong-hayang kerana aku tidak dapat memberikan perhatian sepenuhnya terhadap pemanduanku.

Namun, setelah hampir 3 jam setengah berada di atas lebuhraya, lebih kurang jam 10.45, aku tiba juga akhirnya ke rumahku. Akan tetapi keadaanku pada waktu itu sangatlah teruk. Aku tidak mampu melakukan apa-apa melainkan berbaring di katilku sambil menahan kepedihan yang melanda mataku. Emak sungguh kasihan melihatkan keadaanku yang sebegitu rupa. Abah pula asyik menelefon bertanyakan adakah aku sudah membawa ibuku ke bank, dan segala macam urusan yang rasanya tidak termampu aku lakukan hari itu. Namun aku gagahkan jua diri untuk membawa emak ke bank untuk mengeluarkan wangnya. Selepas itu, aku ke klinik, mendapatkan ubat dan terus balik ke rumah, terlantar sehingga ke tengah malam. Dalam sakit-sakit mata itu, ramai yang menelefon untuk bercakap dengan aku. Walaupun gembira, aku gusar sekiranya aku tidak dapat bercakap dengan baik kerana kesakitan yang aku alami.

Apabila bangkit, mata ku agak redanya merahnya, namun aku teruskan juga menggunakan ubat mata tersebut.

Bangkit sahaja di hari Selasa, mata ku sudah pulih. Namun aku masih tidak berani untuk menggunakan kanta lekap. Mata kiriku masih terasa pedihnya. Mungkin ada luka akibat terlalu kering. Doktor mengesahkan mata ku terkena konjunktivitis.

Hari Selasa aku keluar lagi. Aku pergi membuat bil untuk kayu dan pergi membuat akaun bank untuk syarikatku. Rasanya hari Jumaat barulah siap akaun itu. Emak dengan Abah akan balik ke Seremban dengan memandu kereta aku. Abah suruh aku pandu kereta volkswagon itu ke Seremban.

Mesti mencabar! AKu ingat lagi, kali terakhir aku pandu kereta tu jauh2, ialah pada waktu aku baru sahaja membeli kereta itu dari seorang guru di Batu Pahat. Aku beli volkswagon tersebut dengan harga RM4000. Murah sangat harganya, tapi keadaan kereta pun agak teruk. Yang agak menakjubkan, enjinnya masih sangat elok. Boleh dipandu laju di atas lebuhraya.

Ambil sahaja, terus hantar ke bengkel untuk kerja-kerja pembaik-pulihan. Malangnya, selepas keluar dari bengkel, kereta itu semakin tak seronok untuk dipandu. Ada tanda-tanda seperti enjinnya mahu mati setiap kali aku menekan pedal minyaknya. Tapi syukur, kereta itu masih mahu bergerak, dan akhrinya sampai juga kereta itu dari JB ke KL.

Sepanjang perjalanan yang aku rasakan sangat panjang itu, banyak kereta yang memberikan sokongan padu kepada aku dengan membunyikan hon, mengangkat tangan dan melambai-lambai ke arah ku. Apa taknya, aku hanya memandu dengan kelajuan lebih kurang 50-60 kilometer sejam, kalau ditekan lagi, nescaya enjinnya akan tersengguk-sengguk lalu mati.

Bayangkan lah, betapa lamanya aku memandu pada waktu itu, dan cuaca sangat panas.

Air cond pun takde.

Yang paling seronok, bila dah sampai di Serdang, aku terus meletakkan kereta ku di sana. Tak berani aku nak pandu pulang ke Subang, bimbang tersangkut di mana-mana. Fiza pada waktu itu kelihatan sungguh teruja melihat kereta burukku itu.

Walaupun buruk, buruk sangatlah, memang buruk giler tak tau nak cakap macam mana, tapi yang penting Fiza suka naik kereta aku pergi jalan-jalan dekat Putrajaya/Cyberjaya. Aku rasa happy bila dia suka, tah aku rasa macam best gila pulak dia bila dia suka naik kereta buruk aku tu.

Dan antara jasanya yang tak aku lupakan, kereta tu sempat la hantar adik Fiza, si Azam naik kapalterbang kat KLIA. Hahaha.. Kelakar jugak tu. Masa nak pergi tu kereta aku tersengguk-sengguk. Aku hanya buat-buat macho, pasal masa tu konon aku tengah marah dekat adik Fiza, so aku terus aje pandu kereta aku ke KLIA. Nasib baik masa perjalanan balik tu, semuanya berjalan lancar.

Jadinya sekarang ni, kereta pun dah jauh lebih cantik dari dulu. Jauh sangat bezanya. Belanja nak membaik-pulih kereta ni aje dah makan beriban-riban duit. Nak pulak semalam, lepas hantar adik aku balik dari sekolah, aku pegi hantar ke kedai aksesori kereta untuk pasang Pemain Cakera Padat yang boleh main MP# dengan WMA sekali. Wah ini sudah lebey dari kereta aku. Cuma yang kereta aku menang, aku ada 2 amplifier, dengan 2 subwoofer besar.

Di sini ada sedikit gambar. Semua-semua ni, habis RM1000. Sebijik pemain cakera padat pioneer yang boleh main CD Audio, MP3 and WMA, Dua biji speaker belakang siap dengan tweeter, dua biji speaker depan, siap dengan kotak yang dibuat khas untuk digantung di dalam kereta, dua biji tweeter dan pendawaian lengkap satu kereta. Memang kena pau habis cina kedai aksesori tu. Tapi puanyalah baik hai, dia siap bagi hadiah kat aku lagi.

Tengok la player tu. Sikit punya padan dengan pemuka volkswagon yang penuh dengan krom punya barang-barang tu.

Pembesar suara dia siap dibungkus dengan kain yang menyerupai kulit harimau bintang.

Besok, hari terakhir adik aku mengambil peperiksaan. Sejurus habis aje periksanya, aku akan terus memandu pulang ke Seremban.

Pastinya satu perjalanan yang sungguh mancabar! Aku pun tak pasti boleh sampai ke tidak kereta tu ke Seremban!

Aku akan ambil gambar sepanjang perjalanan!
