I once had a great life before. I had a great job, great
surroundings. But that was a year back ago. As for present: life has been
miserable for me.
I love talking bout my past life. It was pretty rough in the
beginning but Alhamdulillah, there’re people who truly sincere to help me settled
down and begun my first career stage in kk. They are:
1)
The first one who helped me out the moment I touchdown
in kk was: my super great senior- Ihsan
He fetched me at the airport and sent me to
Mona’s house in Sepanggar. He helped me search for some perfect locations to
rent.
My rent house in University Apartment was all
his effort. He was the one who called and arranged for it. And it is way better
than any other places. Thanks Ihsan!
2)
She who sincerely let me stay in her room for
few months: my awesome old-skool friend-Ramona Jahpar
I graduated in June, coming back home in
July. Started my work on 2nd Aug. the timeframe was a lil bit tight
for me to find a place to stay. Out of many other friends, she was the only one
who agreed to “tumpang” me in her room. We stayed there for almost 2 months until
Ihsan found the house in UA.
3)
The kind hearted & amazing woman: Kak Shidah
When we first moved in, it was the ramadhan
eve. Without even knowing us, she let us do the groceries shopping with her
that night. Still remember we went to giant 1borneo to buy some basic stuff for
sahur and any other groceries. Thanks a lot kak shida.. u re really a kind
woman.
She also treated me as one of her friends. From
her, I’ve known kak Su who happened to be my friend’s sister. We went to
island, shopping, lepak2, makan2, and even beraya to her boss’s house during
festive season.
She was also the person who listens to my
problem whenever I feel down and stress with work or life. Still remember that
night when she asked me to teman her to withdraw cash at warisan square. We went
for a heavy supper afterwards at burger king and I told her bout the work
stress I had that time, peer pressure, and work load I had, and the most
remarkable advice that I’ll not forget for the rest of my life is:
“Trust is built, not gained”
She is really one great person! Kak Shidah,
I hope you are having a great life and may Allah bless and shower you with everlasting
happiness.

My super awesome mentee-senior: Po
He who happened to live the opposite block
always lent me a hand whenever I need one. He sometimes fetched me back from
work for the first few weeks before dad sent my car to kk. When I was car-less,
Po and Ihsan always helped me in whatever situation they were. Thanks a lot
guys! You both are the best!
Po also always listens to my problem. He was
really helpful back those days. And I bet he is still indeed helpful these days
too. He was really kind to some extent; he will call me and ask do I need a
ride since he’s going to 1B. It was really thoughtful of you!
5)
My DHI colleagues:
Kak jun : she who treated me as one of her
sisters. (walaupun she is actually the youngest). She knows me by heart that I am
a very sensitive person and understands
and advices me well when it comes to problems.
Faerah: the other female colleague who always
helped me with work. Help me study new things, let me do help her in plotting. And
she is really a talkative enthusiastic friend I have. She sometimes sent me
home whenever I stayed back late at office.
I love my job back then. I never felt it was such a burden
even there was one time my workload caused me felt like on the verge of
breaking down. Sometimes, when there were so much work, when I can’t
resolve things, when I had to re-do it all over again simply because of one
silly mistake: I would still can manage
and handle the stress cause I was surrounded by all helpful friends. There was Jack, who is really efficient and
passionate in teaching, there was also Faerah who patiently taught me how-to
step-by-step do the simulation, there was Caroline: who expertly analyzed and found
out what mistake that I did for that particular failure (it may sometimes
simply because me punched in the different value of friction).
And I willingly stayed back up to 8pm (8 was my record) to
resolve the problem. I always among the top 3 persons who comes early to
office. The first one always Michelle the office manager, Yvonne, and sometimes
Kak Jun. the sequence might jumble among us but the early comers in our section
was always me. Simply because, I love my job and I know that I’ll learn about
new things every day.
Owh.. how I miss my life back then. A perfect job, a
convenient rent-house, a car that is always be my “kaki”, awesome friends who
always support and help me, a great boss to lead me in work and a super
loveable company that had given me the opportunity to feel the great experience
to be able to do something that I love the most, do something that is my true
passion and the not-typical-malaysian company working environment.
Thank you Allah for the memories and chance you gave me in
2010. May all the hurdles and challenges
I am experiencing now can lead me to a better way of life, it may not be now
but someday insyaAllah.
