Whats happening of late...
Hello Rat Race!
Can you believe it.. barely 3 days after coming back to
It wasn’t supposed to be like that. I was just supposed to go to the office, tell the boss I was back, claim the car promised to me, enjoy the rest of the week and start work on a Monday! But as I hanged around, the work started coming to me, kind of like flies attracted to rubbish, but in a less disgusting way. I had arrived just before lunch, and planned to leave just before 3. I ended up staying to 3, and had to come back the next day. What more, I did not get the car I was promised. In some evil turn of event, the car due to me was stolen just a month ago, and there was no longer any spare car waiting for me. Not only do I not have a car of my own, I don’t even know how much I’m going to be earning for goodness sake! I even had to ask him to write me an appointment letter. It seem such trivial things slipped my bosses mind.
So even though I was officially starting work on the first day of October, my boss was already expecting me to work at full steam the minute I stepped into office to say hi. The next thing I knew, I am told that on the Tuesday (2nd day of work), I was supposed to fly to
Sigh~ So much for the great start to my corporate career.
Runaway mom, it’s the story of my life
Back home, mom took of again, this time for good (at least according to her). She had returned home to KL just days before my return just to see me. And as expected, she left on Friday. But this time, she said it was for good, and that she intends to find a place to settle down up north. She was sick of the life here in KL, and she wanted to be where she had her freedom. I didn’t know what to say to her, and I knew for certain that when I came back from work, she would be gone again. I gave her a hug, and I told her I love her. I said I would never understand why she would choose to do these things, but that she would always have a place with my brother and I. I hope it got through to her somehow. The next day, I was queuing up at the supermarket, getting some things. There was this elderly man, trying to sell toothbrushes to the customers for whatever money they would pay. He was asking us to please help him and pity him. He said he was mentally ill. Somewhere 300km away, my mother was up north, also mentally ill, also asking people to pity her. I was heart broken. For 3 months, I had a temporary brake from these sort of problems... My mom ran away up north again... I tell you... its the story of my life..
Sigh~ So much for the smooth sailing in my family problems!
Coffee beans & Goat farms...
I also return home to a father, convince that goat rearing is the way of the future. He even decided to take up courses on it.. Goat Farming for Dummys: Don’t Kid yourself (haha.. kid yourself.. as in goat? OK..lame....)or something like that.. hehe.. Anyway, the point is, he wants to get into the business of rearing goats since he is reaching retirement age soon. My brother and I went all the way down south to Johor to visit him in the cowboy town of
Sigh~ So much for that million dollar business venture!
Consolations in Bolehland... not quite
Ever heard of comfort food? Well, if you are feeling down and seek food for comfort..
Of course, more importantly, I returned home to my family. Seeing my, my brother, father, my girlfriend and especially my mother safe and sound was of great relief to me, though my mother going off again has made life unsettling again.
How do I feel right now? To be honest.. I have no idea. Am I happy to be back? Yes. Do I still wish I was back in
It feels like I don’t even have time to catch my breath. I remember back in February. 2 days after finishing my exams on a Thursday, I was sitting in front of my future boss, asking for a sponsorship to study in the
Sigh~ Just pray for me okie... for a calm and settled heart with a clear and focused mind.
God bless you my friend. Thank you for hearing me whine once again.
