~*Am I a Local? - Sabahan*~

You are a true Sabahan when...

1) You drive at right lane of the road, with a speed of only 50 KM/H. If people horn behind you, you still don't know what's wrong. - I think I'm always faster than 50KM/H

2) You have the luxury of working from 8 AM to 5 PM (get off work punctually). - I don't work in Sabah... but yes, 8-5 :)

3) You don't believe that there is any "clean" politician in Sabah. - Not that I know a lot about Sabah politics... I have lost track...

4) You feel "obligated" to reach the top of Mount Kinabalu at least once in a lifetime. - YES YES! And I have done it!! Once and for all...

5) You prefer a big car than a big house (probably you can't drive a big house around to show off). -I thought big car protect you from crazy truck driver and bumps pn the roads with lots of holes...

6) You wear slipper and short wherever you go, even in city. - This is so true... well.. doesn't really matter I can walk into a high class restaurant with my flip-flop and short...

7) You still think that Labuan belongs to Sabah. - Ok, once belongs to Sabah, always part of Sabah...

8) You will not go to any FREE seminar / function that has no food or refreshment. - Have not been to any...

9) You don't care about service. You just want things cheap, cheap, cheap. - Not apply to me though...

10) You know where to get your candles and torch light quickly in the total darkness (due to training by frequent blackout). - LOL... If you are a Sabahan you shouldn't be scared of the dark...

11) You know what "aramaitiee" means... - No... I don't know...

12) You shout "referee bodoh" and at the same time throw mineral water bottles on the pitch during a football match at Likas Stadium.. -Never been to football match in KK...

13) Your Timorese maid ran away with her lover, taking your money or jewellery along.. - Hear this all the time...

14) You doubt someone's mykad wether it is real or fake.. - I can't even remember my IC # by heart...

15) Your favourite assemblyman whom you vote and supported all this while...gambled away and lost a whopping 60 million ringgit in a London casino.. - I thought he is from West Msia?!??! Who is he though...

16) You go inside a karaoke at 12 pm and realise that the place is still open at 5 am... - Hmmm... unsure...

17) You come across a supposedly local person but with a very foreign accent.. - HMM!!??

18) You cannot vote in an election because someone has voted on behalf of you... - Haven't have a chance to contribute...

19) You own a bakakuk - Own a WHAT?!

~*Thinker*~

There were a lot to digest, words and phrases are still digesting in the mind.
The thinking progress have then turned into a dead end corner which was not able to make a U-turn; to come back right up.
Why?
Feel like something had hit hard and the thinking cells are once again awaken by the hit.
Standing at the dead end corner and none is making sense, the best thing to do is to lean on Him.
He will give you the answer, He has the plan.
Trust Him...
Thank you, He opened the door at the dead end corner and welcomed me...
Now I feel safe and released...

~*Decision...Decision...*~

Ever feel like you have thousands of words wanted to start pouring out from your mouth, but when the right person is there and at the right place; not a single word could come out?

This is all because of trying to make decisions...
When there are options there are chances...
When there are options and chances then you have to make a decision...

Seriously, I have not making any major decisions on my own over the years. All things seem like going according to plan or chance. Being a conservative investor like I am, I have to make sure the decision that I make is the one that is most beneficial.



The options are quite different from each other... It's like...
Do you want a change? Explore into a different lifestyle? Different environment? Face the new challenge? Which might be quite tough... or
Do you want to stay ? Stay with things that you are familiar with and comfortable with? Building confidence and be an expert on the current things?

Once again, I think I am blessed. I have my friends my family who always being very supportive with my decisions... But I'm here... thinking... not sure what to do...

~*Encounter Someone Rude*~

Me: "Hi, this is xxx calling from xxx. I am aware that you took over the store as of (date). I am trying to get hold of the old owner in regards to the account."

New owner: "You know I took over the shop as of (date) and I should not be paying the old account as well."

Me:"No... you do not have to pay for the old account. However, I need to contact the old owner, do you have his contact?"

New owner: "No, you can not get hold of him cause he passed away."

Me:*shock* *Speechless* "oh... ok... so do you know who is looking after the account for him?"

New owner: "yes you can talk to me,I am his son."
(can't believe we have the previous conversation)

Me:"Oh... ok... this is about his account, there are still outstanding amount in the account that need to be paid off."

New owner the son:" I can't touch his money! I am not going to pay you..."

Me:"But you said you are now looking after the account and you..."

New owner the son:"No, I can't touch his money. He died without a will, so before I can touch his money I am not going to pay you."

Me..being stuck in the middle do not know what to say...

Me:"Since you said you are going to look after the account, then I will forward the invoices to you."

New owner the son:"Ok, but I am not going to pay you. It's his account, so if you want to get the account paid you can ask him... but that is impossible you know" *cheeky laugh*

At this very moment, I think he is starting to get a bit rude. First of all, I rang to do my job and I didn't know his father passed away and I just found out... so I was not trying to be rude here.

New Owner the son:"Ok, send me the invoices and I will think about it."

Me.. being nothing much that I can do... "Ok, I will send them to you and I'm sorry with what happened."

New Owner the son:"No sorry, we are talking about business here..."

ME...*speechless*

Can anyone tell me what is going in his mind?? Stress? Grief? But for some reason I really don't think he has much respect for his late father...

~*Crap - The Cold*~

Definitely not happy about this.

Got up in the morning with a sore throat, running nose and a headache.
Nothing that I really want to eat and hate to drive to get takeaway so when time is tough, then turn to the instant noodles.
Without any strength of doing anything too mentally consuming, I just watched TV (all day) and do some light chores around the house. Slept more until I desperately need some food not because I was hungry but I was extremely weak... Tough time... Tuna and crackers!! I'm sure this is why I have been stocking up instant food from last weekend...

Crap cold... crap food... and crap mood.. that's what my Saturday have been all about...

Qoute of the day: "The pain is there for a reason, cause you learn from the pain..."
