“A geisha is not wife…”
Ungkapan tersebut (daripada ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’), walaupun tidak tepat bagi situasi ini, amat membayangkan keadaanku sekarang.
Buat hari-hari yang mendatang, aku akan mengambil alih tugas rakan sekerjaku yang sedang bercuti untuk bersiap-sedia untuk menjadi permaisuri sehari (dan menjadi tunggangan untuk hari-hari berikutnya…oops!).
Hakikatnya, aku amat benci dengan tugas di seksyen tersebut. Walaubagaimanapun, kehadiran dua insan membolehkan aku menerimanya dengan hati yang lebih lapang (mana dia 'lillaahi ta’aala aku'…mana?!).
Adakah mereka ini kawan-kawanku? Bukan! Malah nak dikatakan kenalan pun masih samara-samar lagi. Namun kehadiran dan layanan mereka membuat aku rasa bahagia dengan sendiri (persis orang gila yang tiba-tiba tersengih sendirian- scary kan?).
Ya ArhamarRaahimiin, izinkanlah hambamu ini menjemput sedikit kebahagiaan daripada keluasan rahmatMu itu, amiin!

Si Panda yang ngantuk
Hari ni aku jenjalan ke Suria KLCC.
Tengok movie ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’. Singgah PNB Darby Park jap untuk beli Nu Skin. Jengok-jengok Aquaria KLCC. Gi amik-amik gambar dalam dan sekitar Suria KLCC.
Balik malam. Penat giler tapi mata masih susah nak katup apabila time tido tiba. Ada aje le aktiviti yang nak aku buat dekat-dekat time tu. Entah nape kebelakangan ni aku rasa tak cukup masa, rugi kalau tido.
Akibatnya semenjak dua ni aku kekurangan tido yang amat sangat. Sampai sorang staf kat department lain siap tegur mata panda aku.
Takpe, panda comel kan? Kan?

Work, work, work!
There are too many urgent and important interruptions that must be settled at my new work station.
I find myself once again caught up in a daily work routine until I have no time to plan and improve the conditions of the work station. The Deputy Boss is a tough sell while I am a very poor salesperson. Time and again I fail to sell my ideas of improvement to her.
I think my continuous outpouring of ideas irritated her to a point where she had to sit me down and ask me to think of my priorities. I set out to start by improving the work conditions at the store. To her, it is fine as it is (because the staff has been coping). Instead, she wants me to get away from the store more and look towards building a rapport with the customers.
I am torn. In my opinion, in order to better our services we need to start with ourselves before we can even think of going elsewhere. But she is ‘the boss’.
Dou suru…

Fence
Cik Easy bagitau kat aku cara yang Ustaz cadangkan kat dia untuk 'pagar' rumah barunya.
Time tu aku tengah buat billing untuk customer dengan budak kerani sorang ni. Entah apa le yang bermain-main kat fikiran dia masa kitorang dok hangat bincangkan hal 'nego-menego', pindah-memindah' dan 'pagar-memagar'.
Tapi Cik Easy seperti biasa akan buat modul-modul tambahan sendiri kepada instruction Ustaz yang biasanya very der basic bare bones. Dengar khabar resultnya, alhamduliLlah, boleh tahan tapi masih perlu reenforce.
Yappari boku-tachi no chikara ga mada tsuyoku nai ka na…

Run away...
I just needed to get away!
But you do not tell your family that you’re feeling so sick of them at the moment and need some serious alone time. So on New Year ’s Eve, I asked Cik Easy to be my alibi and checked myself in at Sheraton Subang.
What the heck will I be doing there all alone, you may ask. Why, absolutely nothing. Cik Easy did invite me to join him at Geng Jurnal’s New Year bash but I decided not to. I did regret it later because SM was there! I have wanted to meet him so much but I’m sure there’s hikmah in not attending that party.
Anyway, I managed to snap some really awful shots of hanabi (which I wanted to get rid off but couldn’t bear to) at midnight. After that, I only ventured out for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent watching TV in my room and ordering from room service whenever I get hungry, which was less often than I expected.
Ma and Pa found it odd that I’d spend more than a night away from home. They just couldn’t understand why when all I could possibly need is at home while I couldn’t even begin to enlighten them.
I checked out this afternoon still feeling unsatisfied. I have a sinking feeling that I’ll be needing Cik Easy for an alibi again quite soon…
