The journey to DnD

Tadi baru je balik dari DnD. Enjoyable. But before it, a really series of "darah up" events...

Event no. 1
Pagi aje dah kene from hubby cos lambat bgn, so he is late for work. Cranky, konon malas nak pegi DnD. So I didn't prepare for hubby baju la. Manalah tau dia malas nak pegi.

Anyway, I went to ofis, not in the mood to bring hubby. Tried calling him, but got the cold response. Malas nak layan..

Event no. 2
Since the due date of the invoice is 22 Jan, we had to give the required docs to Finance, at least 2wks before. But pasal my boss ni selalu MIA, so dia baru kasi notis to get approval on 8 Jan. Gila kape.. anyway, I had to rush to get all docs done to give to finance all tat. So sepatutnya u can leave ofis by 3.30pm, to prepare for DnD. I had to leave ofis only after 4.30pm.

Naik mrt, by the time I rch home was 5.30pm. We have to be at the DnD by 6.30pm. Mane lah sempat. Nasib baik I dah prepare the bajus except for hubby. So kol him, he suggested a few for his dressing. End up gosok 3 bajus.

Event no. 3
Alamak, already 6pm. Raining heavily lagi. Kene bawak kasut, baju, helmet etc. So amik cab lah.. Got into a trans cab. Masuk aje I told driver tat I want to go the fastest route. He say everywhere fast wat. I say ok, then use SLE-CTE. Along the way, he ask am I a teacher. I said no. Then, he ask where am I goin. I say I'm goin for DnD, but 1st have to go to my hubi's wk. He say the u dance ah. I say of cos not. Eat & Leave lah..

Then he showed his daughter's pics on his hp. I say wah this driver really love his children. Then he say she is from RGS. Her sister is at RJC. I say wat not bad ah(ya lah, cos the way he speak is like ah beng). He replied all the neighbours envy him cos he has clever & good children. He was supposed to go for a parent briefing as his daughter is going China or Taiwan for an exchange prog. But he asked his wife to go cos he has to work. (Drive taxi lah)

Event no. 4
Oh ya, forget to say that CTE was jam in the meantime he was blabbering.. & the way he drive his cab was like "Come on!! I'm late already!!" I was actually goin impatient. Haha anyway I was listening to radio thru my hidden earpiece. Guess wat worst can happen!! He say aiyah jam, never he has a medicine for it. I was thinking maybe sweet or something to munch. Rupenya opera cd. Those Opera songs.. oh no... nay way kept my cool.

Event no. 5
Ok he's driving into Upper Serangoon, the way to hubi's wk. Of cos hubi was getting impatient as it was already 6.30pm. & I was in the cab. Hubi somehow doesn't like to waste $$ unlike his wife.. kih kih.. Yes!! rching, can't wait to get off tis cab! Skali rch the destination, cab fare $16, he say takde $50 change. I say I have only $14 (small change). I was like wat!??@!
I told him why not u wait here. I go get the chg from my hubi. But he say he know a place to change $$ ard tat area. I was like hey I am late!! He kept saying he will charge me $16. I said ok, but I'm late. He drive into an accident scent. Kan dah nampak ade ambulance stop in front, bukan nak amik the next lane. He followed the traffic till rite behind the ambulance, baru nak lane chg... Urrgghhh!!!

Event no. 6
Then he drive around the area, till stop kat depan kedai mkn & said "Ok u ran inside & go get the change." I was like huh?? But I ran to the shop in the rain only to find the shop closed. I got back to the cab & shouted "THE SHOP IS CLOSED!! I AM LATE ALREADY!!". He said ok ok.. "I drive to u to ur hubi's wk. I charge u the $14. Where ah? Where ah?" I directed him, ask him to stop the cab. Shove him the $$ & bang the door real hard!!.. Nvr to turn back again.

Event no. 7

Bila kluar, hubby tak bawak helmet. Rupenye he's lazy to ride. So got to get cab. Lot's of them waiting for cab, so had to kol one. Alamak... Waited until 7.30pm.

Event no. 8
Jalan besar was jam. So very impatient in the cab. But at least tis Driver just kept quiet. At last rch destination at 8pm. By that time lucky draw was closed. Oh ya, just in time for the food. Miss Director's speech as well.

Sg - Senai - Tangkak - Sg

Smlm, at 9.30am, hubby suruh turun cepat-cepat sebab nak amik keter sewa. Geram skali, dia tengah ngampul. So kite buat bodoh jelah. Amik the Picnic, driving sendiri behind hubby riding. Skali kat Thomson, he ask me to proceed to fetch MIL, while he go home.

Ape lagi berdesut lah, org tgh marah, jadi bawak mcm racing kat Sepang. Terus balik dululah sebab belum siap lagi. So solek asal boleh, nasib baik dah siapkan baju & tudung. Lepas tu terus turun, skali kene blok with big lorry. Dia anta can drinks. Tunggu ler kejap.

Kluar aje kat main rd, hubby call, tanya kat mane. Kite katalah baru kluar nak amik mak. Rch kat blk MIL, dia blm turun. So park kejap kat tepi, tgk bwh blk. Eh FIL pun ikut ler. So drive, wah kene make u-turn dgn keter panjang lagi.. Baca ler Bismillah bebanyak. Amikkan duit MIL, then baru amik hubby.

Kene isi minyak sebab bwh 3/4. Gi kat cosway, nasib baik tak jam. Drive till kat whitehouse, then switch driver. Hubby pulak drive.

Dah 12 noon. Kite terus je gi Senai. Sampai kat Senai town, tepon cuzzin hubby to ask whether dah rch ke blm. Rupenye, flight rch at 1pm, lagipun dorg kat Pontian, amik makcik. So kite pun cariklah tempat mkn.

Nasi goreng tu fail betul. Ape taknye. Goreng garing mcm kopok. Lapar jadi bedal je lah.

Then we rch Senai airport, at the arrival hall was closed. So we have to wait at khemah biru for the jemaah. Alhamdulilah, selamat cik yan & cik timah. Dah Haji & Hajah. While waiting for hubby to take car, kite berpicnic kat carpark. Dorg bawak asam pedas, sardin & nasi & tempe goreng. Oleh kerna dah kenyang, kite pun mkn sesuap sudu.

Dah lepas tu terus ikut dorg ke Tangkak. Di situ ler dapat lihat yg kat Hiway tak banjir langsung. Yg kite nampak banjir cuma kat daerah YongPeng. Air naik till kat setgh rumah org. Road pun bopeng. So drivin kene berhati-hati.

Rch je rumah kat Tangkak, kite pun berehat. Org rumah ape lagi kasi ler oleh-oleh dari Mecca. Alhamdulilah dpt ler selendang n tasbih. Hubby dpt jubah, songkok haji, minyak attar, tasbih.

Of cos, kite dpt ler minum air zam-zam. Seblm minum cik yan pesan, baca selawat tiga kali. Lepas selawat pertama, niat panjang umur & murah rezeki. Lepas selawat kedua, niat diampunkan segala dosa, selawat ketiga & baca Bismillahi AllahuAkhbar tiga kali, niat lah ape2 yg kite nak. Lepas tu baru ler minum.

Insyallah, I niat untuk menjadi anak, isteri & muslimah yg soleh & nak badan sihat supaya dpt zuriat. Insyallah.

So dah lepak, selesai solat magrib, around 8.30pm, kite pun moleh. Berhenti kat Pagoh, tuka driver. YEAH!! I got to drive cos hubby was sleepy. So I drove all the way to Sg.

Seronok benar.. dpt speed, dpt potong-potong. Tapi nak berhati-hati juga cos byk lubangs.

By the time, we rch home was 1.30am. Cuci muka, terus BAAAMMM.. ZZZZzzzz...

Against All Odds

The day before yesterday, while having my dinner, Roti John Bazaar, I watched a channel 5 tv show. It is about Dr Kelvin Wong. He is actually blind since 10yrs old. He has difficulty reading from the blackboard in class. He has to copy from his classmates' handwritten book or sometimes he got help from his teachers. But that too was very difficult. Not just tat he was taunted in school. They wave in front of him asking him "Can you see? Can you see?".

All that does not dither him to pursee his degree. He went to London to enroll in a uni for the blind. He took Japanese studies cos of interest. So he has to work extra hard to do research. Everyday, he will go to the library, he will use the microscopic machine to magnify the wording so that he can read each lettering or words. He also make use of the translator. This translator will read out the scanned page. So for him, he has to scan the whole book content & listen in order to know what's the content of the book.

At last, with sheer determination & discipline, he got himself PHD & the title "Doctor".
He does not stop there, he currently working & using a normal pc. He built himself a content reader, where this reader will read out the screen page of his Pc. He is very jovial & happy. After 3 goal in the olympics, he does not stop swimming. He did charity by taking part in a marathon swimming in the open sea. He said he took a longer route as he can't see where his destination was, he complete the route.

He also gave inspiration talk to prisoners & making sure he shake each audience. He also did counselling for those affected by the sudden blindness.

From the show, it make me think. Allah maha Agung lagi Bijaksana. Setiap manusia adalah uniq. Allah cipta manusia with akal. Setiap manusia mempunyai hak untuk menentukan perjalanan hidupnya walaupun Allah dah tulis destinasi kite.

Mcm Dr Kelvin Wong, he does not his disability as kelemahan instead he work around the problem. He managed to achieve a lot in his life cos he knew that no one can help or tentukan his path but himself. He really has discipline & determination yg kuat & kental.

From there, I saw how I took things for granted. Allah kasi akal, jasmani & rohani yg sihat. But did I use it? Instead, I jadi malas. Alasan asyik penat. Tido lebih.

what to post? Kucingsku lah..
