Manusia.. tak terpisah dgn perasaan...

Masyallah... subhanallah... astagfirullah..
Dalam aku berdebar yg mana di bawa kepada rasa gembira,rupanya rasa sedih tu menanti...
I'm totally happy for her.. tgk dalam gambar pun dia nampak happy.. dan aku tau dalam masa ni syaitan akan cuba membawa hati aku supaya sedih,terasa hati,membenci, dan seterusnya mendorong aku utk memutuskan silaturrahim dan ukhuwah yang lama terbina.
Justeru,aku menanam janji pada diri sendiri,apa pun yang terjadi,aku akan cuba utk tidak terasa hati dgn kejadian tu. Aku akan terus mendoakan kebahagiaan dia sambil menunggu kebahagiaan aku sendiri. Insyallah..

Moving

Moving house in AD... = Not easy...
It's a month worth of work.. hard work.. physically and emotionally (well.. at least the emotional part did get to me..)

I knew that I need to look for a new place for 3 months already. Unfortunately, around here... nobody would save a place for you that long. You like it, take it... Or else, look somewhere else.
And that's exactly what happened to me. I looked for the new place, love it, and wanted to signed for it. But nobody wants to sign a post dated contract. Dengggg... What do i do..??? I guess I have to look for it really close to my moving date then.. Or move now, which means I will be losing like 2 months worth of contract.

And when I found a place that I really liked, there's this problem with the contract. It's in Arabic. How in the world I'm gonna sign that? I don't understand what I'm signing for... That's almost impossible. Sadly.. I had to let that place go and look for another one. Found it. And here I am.. Resident of Al Nahyan Camp.

Not easy... I mean.. the move was not easy... First, look for a perfect place.. Well, this is almost a perfect place. Of course it's not as good as what I had in TCA. No KM underneath.. No security guards 24/7... No elevator while I'm still on second floor... And definitely no underground parking which leads to no longer always shining Winey.. Poor Winey who had to go through all these with me...

Then, the move.. If you want the easy way, you can always call the professional moving company who will come with 10 people and pack everything for you, move it to the new house and unpack everything. And you just have to pay thousands to them. The hard way.. was how I did it.. Get the boxes from KM, pack everything myself and get a Patan and his lorry to move my things to the new place. Cost wise... hundred.. Penat-wise... tak terkira... and emotionally too...

After moving all the stuff, had to clean up the old apartment. Again, you can always spend thousands to some bangla to do it for you... or do it your self. Cut the gas supply. Cut the electricity and water supply. Move the Etisalat account.. And all these cutting supplies can't be done with one simple call.. I went to 3 different offices to cut the electricity and water after 3 phone calls. Had to see the gas people maybe 4 times before getting the clearance. And I don't want to start with the Etisalat team... 2 offices visit, 3 phone calls, technician had to come 3 times before everything settled.

After almost a month, I am now settled in my new place. Not fancy, not flashy.. But I'm proud to call it a home...

London Trip

Masa mula mula keje ada buat janji kat diri sendiri nak travel to a new place once a year. So far berjaya buat.. First year keje travel dlm negara ke Kuching. The next year kitorg g Bangkok. Lepas tu Bali. Then aku g Hong Kong dengan bebudak GE. Travel yang agak mahal ke Beijing. Tahun lepas g Istanbul dari sini. Tahun ni malangnya aku tak jejakkan kaki ke tempat baru selain dari urusan keje.
Sungguhpun begitu,tahun ni ada dua tiga tempat yang aku pegi atas urusan keje tapi tempat ni memang baru bagi aku. Kalau tak baru pun place that I haven't visited for 20years. Aku dah blog kan Jordan n Paris lom? Kalau belum nanti aku tulis.
Kali ni aku g London. What makes it different is that I was staying separately from the team. So mmg senang la nak roam around sendirian berhad. Hari bekerja aku hang out dengan Fira,kawan satu maktab dulu yg skang dia dh mcm mastautin kat London dah. Over the weekend aku visit Kak Ija,org kampung paya datuk. Kira waris la.. Yang tak berapa nak best ialah london hujan je tetiap hari sampaikan aku demam teruk.
Anyhow I had a good visit in the city. Tak banyak gambar yg ambik sebab jalan sendiri. Ada a few je bila aku keluar dengan Fira.
On my own,aku visit Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park n London Bridge. Sambil tu ada la lalu Downton Abbey. Bought my first Pandora bracelet at Oxford Street. Dengan Fira I visited Picadilly Circus n Bayswater. Mostly sebab nak dinner kat that area. Had a great lobster experience at Burger&Lobster just around the corner of my hotel. Memang kelas la itu Lobster! Dengan Kak Ija just pegi ke Chinatown for lunch then lepak umah dia for one night. Bought my lovely Burberry at Heathrow airport... hehehe..

You Ni Artis Ke?

Tak salah kan kalau x kenal artis? Artis pun suka jgk kot kalau kita x kenal atau buat buat x kenal dia sebab kalau sume org dok kerumun dia camne dia nak bergerak kan..
Anyway..benda jadi sebulan dah kot..mmg byk nk kema update ni..Ill yry slowly..
Aku nak naik flight balik ke AD bila aku nampak ada 2-3 melayu sibuk ambik gambar dgn dia ni.. Tapi serius aku x register sapa dia.. Then dlm flight tgk2 dia dok sebelah aku. Masa dok bersiap nak menselesakan diri dlm flight tu aku tanya la "you ni artis ke?" Dengan tenang dia angguk sambil berkata "A'ah.." Selamba jugak aku bertanya "Siapa ek?" Dengan muka malu malu dia jawab "Nealofa" Serius aku terkejut which came to my expression "Serius?!" Well mesti la dia angguk..dah mmg dia Nealofa..
The thing is.. she is being mentioned a lot in my GE Alumni whatssapp group.. The actress where the guys collectively selected as their sexy icon. Aku boleh agak this is mindblowing for the guys if they know. So aku mintak la nak amik gambar dgn Nealofa..
Sure dalam kepala otak Nealofa, 'Aku ko x kenal..tapi bergambar nak..' Heheheheh...

Dilema Rumah Sewa

Ok.. here's the thing.. Kat sini most house rent is per year contract. Sounds familiar? The thing is, not just per year contract, tapi bayar pun ikut tahun. Sewanya bergantung pada jenis bangunan, jenis rumah, kawasan dan kemudahan yg ada.
Rumah yg aku duduk skrg.. walaupun building tu itself takde facilities kecuali parking, tapi location nya sangat menarik. And keluasan pun besar. Tapi.. this coming year sewa nya naik...
Bukan la tak mampu nak bayar sewa yg naik tu. But since kita dah pandai sket hidup kat sini, rasanya tak perlu bayar mahal macam tu lagi dah. So I'm thinking of renting a new unit.
Masalahnya... kat mana mana pun skrg ni sewa nya naik. Yes.. landlord aku sangat bijak. Dia naikkan sewa 5k. Sewa bangunan lain yang berdekatan sama dengan harga sewa yang dia naikkan tu. Tapi bila kita nak pindah, banyak hidden cost. Nak bayar sewa lori n patan angkat barang lagi. Agent fee lagi.. Maybe ada furniture yang nak kena alter lagi.. So kalau nak balik modal kena cari yang at least 10k lower than the current rent.
Aku pun tak berapa minat nak pindah jauh2. Kawan2 aku kebanyakannya kat sini je. And tak kuasa la jugak nak commute jauh2 walaupun jauh tu hanya la dalam 40km je kot.. Option aku sekarang ialah studio apartment.
Tak jugak senang nak cari studio yg ikut bajet ni. Tambah plak lagi a nice clean and spacious studio. Kalau ada je yg elok, baru aku nak buat appointment utk view dah ada org lain cop...
Ada satu lagi option. Which is quite good. Tapi aku akan hidup mcm dok asrama. And aku kena let go semua furniture aku. And for sure tak cukup la tempat nak simpan segala handbags.. kasut... jacket...
Kepala sudah pening mana mau pilih........
