June 2005 – The Arrival.

This will be my last entry from this Gurun house. How time flies! 4 tahun dah!. Honestly, I like this house, I like the environment, greeneries, sebelah the foot of Gunung Jerai, sunyi and cool at night, very near to the office (only 5 minutes away!), nearby restaurants and shops, Shell station is just at the entrance of the Taman, banks, post office and even shopping complex (Aneka) is just 10 minutes away!

Oooh I will so miss this house…:( Tomorrow, TELEKOM will cut-off the phone and internet account from this house. The process of transferring it to the new house will take at least 2 weeks..That is soooooooo sucky!!! I will be offline for two damn weeks!!! With the Reunion coming up..with the jobs coming in and the ones in progress!! OOoh!! Tension tension…


Oklah back to my EMO mode..As a tribute to this house, let’s take a trip down memory lane to June 2005 – The Arrival.

Friday, June 3rd, 2005

aah..just got back from gurun..5 and half hours straight..ok first thing first..banyak nak cerite ni..oh yeah tadi hiway jam gila from i think atas skit dari sungai buloh all the way to tanjung malim..geez luckily i was on the other side towards kl..kesian depa..

on the 31st of may, last tuesday..i’ve sold my 2nd car, daihatsu charade aura..berat hati nak menjualnya..he served me well for this past 4 years..thank you buddy!!you’ve taken me to places i’ve never been before, taken me to the hospital.. even my family and friends too,.. you’ve helped other cars with your ‘jumper’ skills..you even helped show directions to strangers..sheltered and mesmerised me with your boom box..and of course you were there when i jemput izza, went out dating..and not to forget, your objective and mission..that is to take me to school in one piece..and i’m proud to say that you’ve completed the mission with flying colours..a job well done!! fyi, i’ve graduated with marks that will make you in tears of joy and proud!!(hehe poyo)THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!i will never forget you, and i’m sure, my friends, lecturers and family will miss you too..to honour your loyalty and services, i’ll setup a photo album of you..THANK YOU..

on the 1st of june..mom and i went up to penang..meet up with apak (flew in from bangkok)put a night in vistana and the next morning, that was 2nd of june..went up to gurun..our objective was to check out the place, find a house, and settle few stuff for the house..everything was according to the plan..gurun is not as how i thought i would be..well of course if you compare to sg petani,penang or even kl..memangla mundur..a small district where everyone knows everyone, ada supermarkets,banks,..not too kampung, not too city..balanced..got railway station, bus station..boleh lah hidup..

jumpa rumah!!my first house..well renting la..alone pulak too..takpe jiran ramai..hehe according to the furniture shop guy, my area there, is an ok area.considered one of the cleanest “taman”..”orang duduk sana suma pangkat2..”according to himlaa..my house is a single story,3 bedrooms, separate toilet and bathroom,dapur, living room big space of land in front and back..boleh lah main bola, facing greens..takde rumah kat depan..on the left side of the house pulak gunung jerai..scenic surroundings..5-10 minutes to workplace,less than 5 minutes to “city centre”..all that with a rental of RM200 per month..HAHAHA murah gilaaaar!!the owner is a policemen based in penang..hahahaha in my mind dah dapat dah idea on how to decorate the house…get ready!!!!here i come!!!

this sunday morning, that is on the 5th oh june, i’ll be going back to gurun with the rest of my stuff..pc, bass guitar, amp,cloths,books,shoes, tv..i will do some packing after this,..my target is to arrive in gurun slightly pass lunch hour..so i can meet up with the designers, warm up before reporting the next day..i’ve scouted shops yang boleh pasang broadband and astro..that i will have to consider from my piggy bank, tgok kalau cukup.. worst i’ll connect it next month..use my first pay..hehe..like mom said tadi, i’m considered very lucky..and i agreed..syukur alhamdulillaah..my first ever job interview,and i got it,that makes it my first job..sungguh bersyukur..tambah plak ni first posting out of kl (cewah),first house, next month first pay..alhamdulillah..thank you very much..hopefuly semua berjalan dengan lancar..haritu first time drive on jambatan pulau pinang, was wonderful..we were driving towards penang during sunset..beautiful..macam katun jepun..berair mata..hehe, first time in gurun, sg.petani…

tomorrow doing last minute shopping for the house..oh first ikut apak to buy handphone..yes again!!phone dia rosak plak..then to makro to buy table..and a date with izza..will be a sad one..well what to do…come to think about it, if we look from the other perspective, the other side (which i think i normally do)..a break like this is good..not that “dumping” kind of break..a break,time off for a while..just to proof how serious is the relationship..to me it is healthy because we started being together i consider at a young age..lets see how this “separation” mature us..like abang,he was separated with lissa for a year becoz she went to NZ blaja..,now she’s carrying my soon-to-be anak buah..hehehe lets see everyting in its positive side..kurang pening..

my next entry will be done in Gurun..so i guess this will be my sort-of last in KL..wish me luck for my first day!!
