stupid drivers

every weekday morning i woke up at 6, start my journey to the office at 6:40, can you imagine driving 35 km a day to get to work and having to battle through the traffic? today, i finally lost it... for those who knows how i drive, i am usually a careful driver... so as usual i started my journey through the KESAS and after paying the new-too-expensive toll, the traffic is usually heavy, most people are driving very slowly and what amazes me the most is that people who are going at 60 will be at the right most lane... so today, i was over taking some very slow cars which are on the middle lane, and in front of me was this few very slow cars on the right lane... and behind of me came this orange coloured kelisa almost kissing my butt... i don't understand this stupid woman, she is driving a car half the size of mine, and yet she drives as if she is indestructable... but that is not the main story...

after i over took those slow vehicles in the middle lane, i thought i'd move to the middle lane and give way to that mad woman, so i signal to the left, and guess what, she honked at me pretty loudly because she overtook me from the left... not that i didn't look left before i changed lane, but she was going so fast and i bet i change lane before she came honking at me... and for my friends who knows my temper... i was pissed man, real pissed... i know i shouldn't do this, but guess what i honked back at her so loudly and since she was infront of me, i flashed my high beam like nobody's business... and let me say this again, i was driving a 2500 c.c and she was in a 1000 c.c, so i sped up, tail gate her and she was fast, she was going at at least 130, and my guess was she got scared because a giant is after her... and then, because she was reckless, she didn't see that there was a car in front of her and she had to slam on her emergency breaks... and since your's truly has a big one, i saw that car there all along, and that didn't frightened me, so from behind her i switch lane to the right and overtook her... ok, when i was changing lane to over take that mad woman, i did use my signals... i always use my signals...

i just don't understand, how this people drive... can't they be more considerate? do not over take from the left, not to mention that it's dangerous, it could be fatal... and while you are driving in a busy road, please be more cautious, and don't drive above the speed limit... and when you see a gentle giant, do not provoke her, she may retaliate (like i did) and you may get hurt...

you see, i was a fast driver, but i speed when the road is clear... and i always drive at or below the speed limit... and the only time i break the speed limit is when the road is absolutes empty... you see, if you are reckless, and you get yourself killed, fine, i have no problems with that, but by you being reckless, you are putting others at danger... can you live with that? if you can, you are not even human, and you don't deserve to live...

nothing...

i am sitting in medan right now and i have no idea what is going on with my life... seriously, i am kinda lost lately... um... lost may not be the right word, but sort of like that la...

i was going through some of the blogs of my fellow blogger and realised that i have missed out so many things...

a short update of my life:

1. hubby left for qatar last monday (it's been only a week but i felt like it's forever)...
2. work like a dog for the past months, i almost forgot what is my mother's name...
3. went to the gynae, not because i am preggy, but because i am not well, the doctor said emotional stress... and now, she has given me some medication to eat... hope things will get better...
4. i am stuck in medan for now, i have no idea why...
5. tomorrow i'll be going to acheh for a day trip, also no idea why...

so many things happened and somehow i just can't put it in words... i am just not in the mood... i am very tired of all the working, perhaps i worked too hard... i think i am missing out on a lot of things, but what?

appraisal time

after more than 6 months working here, today i face my very 1st appraisal session... during confirmation, i have no appraisal because boss was too busy...

this is the annual appraisal time and i've finish, just about 5 minutes ago... generally, i was nervous, and don't know what to say... but lucky for me, no need for me to say much... my boss was pleasant, he has always been... and he said that i was a good professional but i wasn't good enough to challenge the project managers... so my biggest challenge for 2007 was to challenge all those project managers... seriously, i don't know how to do that...

the good news is, he has approved my training application... so if everything is smooth, i'll be spending 2 days in JW Marriott in March this year for my training... yippee...

Happy Birthday

yesterday, wednesday, jan 10, started out as usual... the only difference is that hubby was in pasir gudang for his sea survivor training... so i woke up at 6 plus and get ready to go to work... i reached the office shortly before 8... work as usual, and lunch time, went with the usual people to eat...

after lunch, i saw jenoh online and i buzz him, and he told me that he can't make it to the dinner... what else is new? i have expected that coming anyway... so later when i saw notty online, i told her that he can't make it... but we decide to go on with the dinner without jenoh...

at 6 plus in the evening, i left my office and head to the komuter station to wait for blurblogger and notty called and said that baha may want to come... and she also said that it is unlikely that he will come because he never shows up, and i said what the heck, if he comes, he comes, if he doesn't, never mind... while waiting for blurblogger, i was talking on the phone with budak kecik and we chat about many things... like CP is no longer poor... he is rich, and looks smart already, but i seriously doubt the looking smart part... how smart can a looser like him look? ew... i hate that guy... who cares, he still owes me 5 bucks... and i asked budak kecik to ask from him... if he is rich, and smart, he'll pay up right?

blurblogger arrived about 7:30... we head on to TGIFriday's in subang parade... while we were heading to the underground parking, baha called blurblogger and ask where to meet, and we told him at Friday's... and upong reaching, notty and blurblogger went ahead to pray, since it's prayer time, and i sat there all alone and i ordered my drink, orangeade to be exact... while waiting for them, i look through la carta (the menu) over and over and i also made up my mind that i'll go for the mushroom, chicken and mushroom... you all know i am a mushroom lover right?

when the 2 ladies arrived, i was shocked to see baha as well... anyway, that's not the main issue, they ordered their drinks and notty and myself decide for baha and blurblogger what they should eat, and we ordered a lot of things for the two of them, from starters to deserts...

and then we chit chat like usual... and then suddenly we heard people singing "happy birthday" song... and after the song, they all sang another song, and i do not know what genre is that, but it's nice... so notty went to see who is singing and it happens to be the crew of Friday's...

we wanted them to sing for us, but we do not know how to request for it... what to do? what to do? after a big meal, the four of us are like half dead, notty and baha went out to take a puff... not that baha smokes, but he accompanied notty... i chatted with blurblogger... and then, the singing starts, this time it's for another table... and then, notty came in and she was grinning... we still wanted them to sing for us... i told notty, we should say that it's baha's birthday and ask them to sing for us... although we all clearly knew that it was NOT baha's birthday...

guess what baha said? what else, no, please don't... but we couldn't be bothered... when the nice gurl came to clear our table, we put our plan into action, we started calling baha birthday boy... and the gurl said, "it's his birthday?"... and we said, yes yes, and baha said no no... and then we asked her if the crew can sing for him... and baha said no no... the gurl said he doesn't want, and we said, he is just shy... in the end, the gurl brought a choc. cake, complimentary and the crew sang for him... he was blushing, we were laughing, and we laughed so hard, i almost puke...

we laugh and laugh and laugh and we had the choc. cake for desert, and we also had a sundae, and we were full... and we chat for a little longer, and then we kissed each other goodbye... nah... no kissing, we bid our goodbyes and went on our own... i was still laughing this morning and i came to work late... and after that hearty meal, i will fast today...

and to jenoh, too bad you miss the fun...
