kek resepirahsia

I received a message from a client at KampungJagung; "En T kata, boleh tak bawak kek ResepiRahsia sebijik dua untuk refreshment masa meeting". We were supposed to have a meeting/briefing with a group of rakyat KampungJagung next week. I couldn't help but grin. Kalau i duduk kat tempat dia (the messenger), what would i do? My boss suruh mintak orang yang nak datang meeting bawak makanan. Not just any makanan, specifically stated cake. Not just any cake, kek ResepiRahsia. I think i would faint in embarrassment. Mungkin kalau i tak sayang duit at that time, instead of menjatuhkan maruah (exaggerate tak?) i would rather buy the cake myself. I'm not putting the blame on the messenger. I knew that the instruction came from the boss. I totally understand that as a junior, siapalah kita nak membantah kata2 tok ketua kita. The blame should be put on the tok ketua.


It reminded me of the days when i was working in a different job sector before. I've worked both for the 'kuli' company which is a contractor and also for the 'boss' company, also known as the consultant. It's a totally different scenario. Working as a contractor buat kita sentiasa sedar diri, selalu kena hormat pada consultant. When i say hormat, it goes to the extend bagi sesetengah orang sampai membodek & memberi apa2 shj yang consultant nak. Working as a consultant pulak boleh buat sesetengah orang besar kepala. Mintak la apa saja, biasanya contractor akan cuba jugak bagi so that consultant boleh sign & kerja boleh jalan dengan lancar. Bagi sesetengah consultant, asking for favour which includes money is just peanut. Apatah lagi setakat nak suruh belanja makan.


For me, it's the same situation dengan rakyat KampungJagung. They have the mindset that they are the boss. Buat la apa sekalipun, salah la macamana sekalipun... they are always right. They are taught by the tok ketua that asking favours from the kuli is not wrong. I pity the freshgraduates. Baru nak belajar hidup bekerja, kepala dah disogok pulak dengan anasir2 negative macam tu. No wonder they have attitude problems. No wonder diorang berlagak.


I've asked PK the other day if we will be just like one of them kalau dari dulu2 kami bekerja di KampungJagung. PK said that she don't think we'll change. We'll just be like mc#1; despite sifat2 cerewet dia tu, i do respect him for being humble. I know that it is unfair to label all of them macam tu. My friends (i only have a few friends at KampungJagung) are all nice peoples. It all depends pada kita sendiri. How we think, how we were brought up and how/what we choose to be. Till this moment, i realise i'm not a suitable candidate to be rakyat KampungJagung; even otherwise, i know i should choose not to be.

spa

I promised me_cnor to update belog, pagi2 buta hari isnin dia dah tuntut dah...ayooo!

So, i went for a BalineseTheraphy spa last saturday. It's a birthday gift. Thanks to PK, i enjoyed it so very much. I went there alone guided by my gps yang lebih mengconfusekan i yang memang lembap ni. I have to find a way to hack the thing; takde la nanti kita dah buat u-turn, dalam map kata kita dok sebelah sana jalan lagi kan. Nasib baik mata ni masih cekap lagi. As i expected, parking memang agak payah kat area tu, i was lucky to get one a block away. Kira ok la tu. I arrived 15minutes late from my appointment. The place was nice and cozy. I was served with a drink while waiting three other ladies at the counter. The place is not so big but warm enough to let you enjoy the balinese deco and ambiance.

I was showed to the first room on my right along the hallway. The room was dimmed, soft balinese music in the background and the smell of aromatheraphy oils and candles was everywhere. The session started with whole body scrubbing. Since this is my first time, i rasa teruk la jugak kot kerja therapist tu. Bayangkan la dah berapa lama kuman2 tu semua melekat kat badan ni...ishh. But the best part was the massage. I have been complaining endlessly about having backache these couple of weeks, so that massage was truly, truly an indulgence.

The whole process was about 1.5hours where most of the time was spent on the massage. Kuat jugak la orang yang kerja macam ni kan, because i know i couldn't even massage my own arms more than 10minutes. The process ended when she tapped softly on my shoulder and told me to have a few minutes rest. Hmmm...kalau boleh i nak je suruh dia sambung lagi...hehe. Takpe la, next time boleh buat lagi... So PK, next time bagi la lagi hadiah macam tu ye!

nurkasih

Tanpamu





I watched NurKasih last Saturday. My friends warned me that it's a sad movie. Another friend even texted me to remind me to bring tissues along. Yes, i held on to a tissue throughout the whole movie. Just in case.


My comments :

1. Tak banyak movie melayu yang i tengok. I pernah tengok Fenomena which was my first movie outing with friends. At that time the ticket was $2 (belum guma RM lagi time tu). Others were Abang92 (ye ke 92?), Ringgit Kassorga (tertengok dua kali!), Cinta which is a very sweet movie; and of course i have to watch NurKasih after following the series religiously. I don't like the crowd when watching malay movies. The ladies beside me tak habis2 bagi komen; from beginning to the end of the movie. Another man one seat away from me had loud and smelly breathing...bolehh? The air and surrounding mood was not encouraging enough for me to go deep into the movie.

2. I thought Aidil was a strong person. Sangat cool in every aspect. But he disappointed me. I don't think that he should be so distressed when his wife passed away. Dia kan sangat tabah gitu...

3. Why did Adam had to go and find the lost wedding ring? Sangat tak logik nak cari cincin tengah2 padang pasir. Cincin hilang dalam rumah pun bagai nak gila nak cari, ini kan pulak padang pasir...padang pasir, occay! Beli je la cincin baru kannn.

4. I don't think it's that easy nak tukar2 jantung. Nasib Adam memang betul2 baik la kan. The heart came exactly at the right time.

5. Adam macam kuda belang. Muka kelabu, tangan gelap.

6. Painting needs colours ye puan2. It doesn't work if the brush is dry.


Overall, the movie was ok. Sedih dari mula sampai habis. Of course it is not fair to compare dengan cerita2 omputih, kira ok la untuk cerita melayu. I still prefer Cinta though. Ohh...and i didn't use the tissue!
