Life Unexpected

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 2^nd 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.

4)      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.
