Adventurous Drive

For this post I wanna tell about the journey that I went through last week to pay my Tok Wan a visit. The journey began from Kerteh at 1.30pm, and finished in Jitra at 10.30pm! It's a 9 hours journey, which includes 3 times stopping at toilets to pee, and one time to fill up the gas! This has to be THE ultimate driving journey for me! I drove all alone and I did not stop for a meal coz most of the area that I passed by was like in the middle of nowhere.

The route that I took passed through Kerteh, Dungun, Rantau Abang, Marang, Kuala Terengganu, Jerteh, Machang, Tanah Merah, Jeli, Grik, Pengkalan Hulu, Baling, Kuala Ketil, Sg Petani, Alor Star, and finally Jitra. I passed through the 4 states: Terengganu, Kelantan, Perak & Kedah. The total distance covered was about 600km, and it was the first time for me to drive along that route!

The stretch from Kerteh to Kuala Terengganu is so beautiful coz it runs parallel to the coast. You get to see all these fishing villages and swaying coconut trees with the South China Sea as the background.

Around Jerteh area, there was a road block. The policemen asked me to stop to the side, and told me that I had exceeded the speed limit of 70kmph(I drove only around 87kmph). Damn! He asked me whether I can afford to pay the RM150 summons for speeding, and of course, I said no. Then he asked me, "How much can you pay?". The moment he said that, I knew that I have to pay him, and I gave him RM50. Damn all these policemen, makan duit haram! I really don't wanna support this kinda thing, but RM150 is too expensive! Takpe la, maybe kali nie aje..

When I was about to drive off, a Kancil with a female driver was asked to stop, also for speeding. After less than 5 minutes talking to the policemen, the female driver miraculously tak kena saman, and she did not even has to bribe him! So unfair! Ggrrrr!!!!!

But the best part of the journey has to be from Jeli(Kelantan) to Grik(Perak) coz that is the East-West Road. It's about 100km, and cuts through the center of mountainous Titiwangsa Range. The road along that stretch was so beautiful, but it was really empty. I even heard people telling me not to use that road late in the day, coz sometimes wild elephants will be crossing the road! I thought it was just rumours, but I actually saw a few places with signboards warning drivers of wild elephants. Nasib baik tak jumpe, kalau tak harus jadik the shock of my life!

From Kedah back to Kerteh, I used to PLUS Highway and headed back KL first, before used the East Coast Highway via Kuantan. My god! It's like a round-a-bout through Peninsular Malaysia!

I took several pictures along the journey, but I'm so disappointed coz my camera ran out of batteries near the East-West Road! Damn!

I am so proud of myself for being able to complete the long and adventurous journey. But most importantly, I managed to reached the destination safely.

Tok Wan

Last week Wednesday while I was in a meeting with Rolls-Royce, I got an sms from my mum. She told me that my Tok Wan had just passed away, and that she was already on her way to go back to Kedah.

.......

I was speechless. Eventhough I was still in the meeting, I just can't stop thinking about the news. I went out of the meeting room, and called my sister to reconfirm. She told me that it's true, and that her family and my eldest sister's family are getting ready to leave for Kedah.

The moment the meeting finished, I told my boss about it and requested for emergency leave the following day. He approved it and even asked me to take the whole weekend off(it's during Plant Turnaround, we have to work even on weekends). I was so glad and went off home around noon, so that I can leave as soon as possible to Kedah.

On the way back from office to my house, I called my mum to tell her that I'll be coming back to Kedah. I asked how was everything over there, and she told me that Tok Wan hidup lagi dan tengah nazak. And I was like apsal pulak nie? Kata dah meninggal, apsal sekarang nie dying pulak?

It turns out that Tok Wan actually did not breathe for about 30 minutes! He still has pulses, really weak & slow pulses.. That is so weird.. Normally, the person's brain will be dead if that happens rite?

When I reached Tok Wan's house in Jitra, I saw him lying down on the mattress in the middle of the living room. He looked so weak and thin. Memang macam tinggal kulit dengan tulang. I really don't know how to react.

The last time I met up with Tok Wan, he was so healthy. Siap boleh naik motor lagi, eventhough he's already more than a hundred years old. It all started when he was diagnosed with a tumor in his head. After that he became weaker, till the current situation.

Panjang umur Tok Wan kan? Probably because all of his other siblings reached an age of more than 90 years old. Probably because he's a religious man and a Tok Imam. Probably because he told my uncle not to buried him after he died, before all of his children & grandchildren paid a visit.

My mum called me yesterday to tell that Tok Wan is getting healthier now. I was so glad, and I wished that he will live longer! Love you Tok Wan!

Disappointments

Today I realized that I am not a good example of a leader.

I cannot decide on simple things in life. I guess it must be due to the way I think, the way I list down the pros and cons of everything, which in the end, really makes me confused on which one to choose. I prefer to accept orders, rather than making orders. I often cannot adapt quickly in any environment. It usually takes some time (actually long time) for me to be comfortable with anything. Really bad at organizing, which makes my work tasks a mess. Have a really really bad memory. I need constant reminding from other people so that things can run smoothly. Names easily slips through my brain, which is SO bad for networking and communicating with others. And it's really easy for me to feel guilty about the bad things that I do to other people.

I really need to do something about this, before it affects the other things that I enjoy. Damn! I'm so dissappointed at myself. I really envy how other people handle their tasks/jobs/plans or watever. When can I be one of those people? How can I change and be like that?

During high school, I think some people look up at me. I got really good grades, and got offers from several universities. But later in university, I'm really not that good. In the first few semesters, my CGPA was above 3. Then in the final year, it reached just below 3. Actually 2.97 to be exact! And now at work, rasa macam lembab giler!

I'm just an average (or probably below below average). Watever happened to the old me?

Is my life really that boring?


It has been quite some time since I last updated my blog and to tell you the truth, i really have no idea what to say (or in this case type).

Life is slow in Kerteh. Just go to work in the day, and after office hours go back to my house. Sometimes I'll drive to McD and buy some munchies as a reward of the day. But most of the time I'll be driving straight to home, watch Desperate Housewives(I downloaded from the net), take my shower, go for dinner, and later be back in my room. Thank god my room has streamyx, so that I can surf the net (which has now become my favourite past time). Before go to bed, I'll be talking on the phone with "you know who", wish goodnite, wash my face (so that I can put my expensive La Mer) and sometimes watch porn(Yes, I am a pervert).

Sometimes I think that my life sucks, but then again, there's nothing much that I can do? My very best friends are not here, my "you know who" is not here, and kinokuniya is not here. But I do have my PC, and my really special Rudy. :)

I guess we can't really have all the best things in life just a step away from us. Damn.
