Assalamualaikum..
Mood untuk rambling again today.
I met this one Bank Manager, Encik Faiz, today. And had some chit chat with him about work stuff, life, bla bla bla..(why suddenly I wrote in English??)
He said that, "Human errors are common. it's an everyday thingy. you don't curse one driver just because his car has broke down and had caused bad traffic to every other road user. but u put yourself in his shoe and would you blame yourself for it? for the unplanned things to happened?"....
p/s: everyone has their up's and low's moment. whatever your situation is, just smile.. maybe your smile is all needed to brighten up someone's day... :)
life is to be celebrated. we are each other's keepers. we are the guardian of humanity. we are who we are. we are you and me. and when you think that you are now old and wiser. think again. you might still afraid of the dark.

kalau sedih, menangis. itu normal.
if I am that dead to you, bury me 7 feet underground so that you will never see me again.
if you hated me that much, burn my dead body to ashes. and let the ashes goes with the wind so that I can be free.
if you trust me that little, throw my dead body in the deepest blue ocean. so that no one will find a trace in me and my existence will becomes a metaphor.
.... .... ....
but if you love me that equal, please pray for me. I might be died to you, but death is just a beginning for a new chapter in one's life.

5 minit aja dah cukup untuk kita jadi 'manusia'...
Hari ini hari yg panas untuk aku. Tak tahulah hormon ape yang melekat kat badan aku, senang aja aku naik angin.
Alkisahnya, aku ke Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Shah Alam (hambik kau, aku bagi location exact lagi)untuk menguruskan satu kes Hakmilik/Title/Geran Tanah yang pending sejak 2011. By right, kerja-kerja macam ni aku tak perlu turun padang pun..tapi disebabkan follow up by phone (on weekly basis) and by counter (on monthly basis) yang dilakukan tak mendatangkan hasil, jadinya aku buatlah 'date' dengan one of the officer kat sana untuk tahu status. Sekejap kata dah ready, tapi bila datang Title tu ghaib.. Sekejap kata masih proses.. yang paling sedih katanya Title dah hilang.
Sedih tu maksudnya, kesian lah kat pembeli Tanah yg berkenaan yang dinafikan hak untuk Title tersebut. Sedih juga bermaksud, penatlah kami untuk menunggu dan terus menunggu akan keluarnya Title yang baru (yang tak tahu berapa kurun lagi prosesnya). Dan sedih juga bermaksud kasihan orang-orang di Pejabat Tanah tu untuk memproses kembali Title yang baru...
...ok tipu.
Sedih sebenarnya korang tu takda sistem yang betul dan elok digunapakai sampaikan Title hilang atau tak pun ko tak tahu. Pastu ambil masa sampai 2 tahun untuk cakap yang ko tak pasti, Title tu hilang atau tak...waima follow up on status dilakukan on weekly basis. apakah??
sereyes kecewa...
Jadinya untuk mengelakkan kekecewaan yang tak dapat dibendung, aku pun mengaturkan pertemuan dengan Officer Z yang 'dikatakan' in charge of this matter. Setelah berjumpa dengan officer tersebut (nama dirahsiakan), malang sekali katanya, "he is not the correct person for the matter", tapi syukurlah, dia mahu menolong. Aku puji Officer Z nih sebabnya, dia cakap sangat lembut dan bersopan. Aku yang drpd semalamnya menyediakan hujah-hujah keras untuk menggesa pihaknya untuk bertindak terus lembut hati.
Aku terima dengan hati terbuka bahawasanya Title itu telahpun hilang dalam pegangan pejabat mereka. Dan aku diterangkan proses-proses untuk extract Title yang telah hilang, di mana langkah pertama adalah memberikan surat rasmi untuk kutipan Title (walaupun yang hilangkan adalah pihak mereka!!!). At this point of time, aku redha.
Dalam keredhaan aku, aku redah jem nk balik opis. Kereta aku stuck traffic.
Lebih kurang setengah jam lepas itu, aku terima panggilan telefon. Rupanya Officer Z. Menurutnya, Title tersebut telahpun berjaya dijumpai. apakah?! walaupun agak terkejut, aku tetap bersyukur sebab penantian bertahun-tahun akhirnya berhasil. Belajar daripada pengalaman lepas, aku terus katakana aku sanggup patah balik untuk kutipan..khuatir Title itu 'ghaib' kembali. almaklumlah, tangan-tangan hantu ni kita tak nmpak dengan mata kasar, ye dok?
Aku sampai lebih kurang pukul 12.30pm. Dan aku diberitahu Officer K (yang bertugas di kaunter kutipan) keluar sebentar ke toilet. Fine, manusia memang perlu ke tandas bila masanya. 12.55pm, aku tanyakan lagi.. rupanya officer ini sudah keluar lunch. eh??
Aku terus bisingkan di kaunter, mencari Officer K. Officer 1, 2, dan 3 menolong aku endah tak endah. terus mencari isu lain so that aku balik opis dan lupakan saja usaha aku untuk kutipan hari itu. Mahu tak mahu, aku terus bertegas menunjukkan aku dah tak boleh tolerate dengan sifat acuh tak acuh pejabat itu.
Akhirnya, Officer 3 bertolak ansur dan hanya memerlukan salinan ic aku (walaupun the fact that nama aku memang tertera kat letterhead dan aku baru aje sejam yang lepas mendaftarkan diri mengesahkan aku adalah wakil untuk pejabat aku)..
Aku ni perempuan yang berhati lembut. kau cakap baik-baik, kau senyum ikhlas dengan aku, aku tahu. jadinya, aku turutkan aje permintaan Officer 3 terbabit. katanya lagi, dia akan menyuruh Officer K attend aku secepat mungkin, lagipun dia tengah on the way balik ke pejabat.
Setelah salinan ic ada di tangan (tak sampai 10 minit pun aku p kedai fotokopi), aku tunggu dan terus tunggu. Officer 3 tunjukkan muka, katanya Officer K tengah makan. Aku sedikit terkilan. Aku berlari-lari ke kedai fotokopi, dan setelkan semua secepat yang mungkin, tapi kau tak boleh tunggu sekejap pun? Bukankah Officer Z sudah beritahu kau, sebelum pukul 12pm lagi.. bukankah Officer 1,2,dan 3 telahpun memberitahu kau yang aku sedang menunggu kau sejak pukul 12.30 lagi..ataupun lebih wajar aku katakan sejak tahun 2011 lagi??
tak apalah. Tuhan nak ajar aku erti sabar rupanya.
1.45pm, perut aku sudah memulas. masa aku terbuang. Kau makan apa lama sangat tu, Officer K? Siapa aja yang aku nampak di kaunter, aku minta tolong panggilkan Officer K. yer, aku masih berbahasa.. aku minta tolong. walaupun kerongkong aku sipi-sipi aja mahu menjerit. apalah sangat dinding kayu tu yang memisahkan aku dengan Officer K yang makan tak sudah2 tu.
1.55pm, Officer K datang dengan muka selamba. "Dah buat salinan ic, seperti yang disuruh Officer 3?", soalnya.
Aku mengangguk dan menghulur apa yang berkenaan. tak sampai 5 minit, Title itu ada ditangan aku.
Aku pandang Officer K tanpa berkedip, "Boleh tak saya nak cakap sikit?", kataku sambil mengerling ke arah jam tangan.
Dia terus membalas,"saya minta maaf la cik. saya baru je dapat tahu hal ni. lagipun, tadi saya makan dulu. saya ada gastrik. kalau saya sakit nanti, 2 hari pulak nak kena MC. saya keje daripada pukul 8 pagi tadi tak makan lagi". Ehh???? Baru aku intro, ko dah bersilat bagai?
"Macam inilah, Encik K. Saya pun tak makan drpd pagi lagi. Dan saya pun dah sampai sini daripada pagi tadi. Saya tengok jam, tak sampai 5 minit pun selesai urusan ni...". Aku pandang tepat kearahnya. Entah kenapa, hati aku hiba sangat. Encik K aku lihat cuba menyibukkan dirinya dengan menggoyang-goyangkan mouse sambil memandang ke skrin.
Lalu aku sambung,"5 minit aja dah cukup untuk kita jadi manusia, Encik K." dan aku terus beredar. Sambil aku turun tangga, air mata aku mengalir. Mungkin padanya, masa aku tak sepenting masanya.
.......atau, mungkin juga perut yang lapar membuat aku lebih beremosi.

6 (Easy!) Ways Anyone Can Become a Writer

In Natalie Goldberg's new book, The True Secret of Writing (Atria), she observes that "to write is to be empowered.... Writing is not just for someone who wants to write the great American novel." Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Buy a fast pen and cheap notebook
You should know how to write with pen and paper and not just on the computer, which is a whole other process. The pen should be fast enough to keep up with your mind, and the notebook shouldn't be precious. You'll be writing a lot of junk in it before the good stuff.
Step 2: Leave the house
When you're in the house, the phone rings, the dishes need washing—there are a million excuses to do this or that instead of write. Go out! I prefer less-frequented cafés where the food isn't very good so I can stay at the same table for a long time. Leave a big tip!
Step 3: Get some friends to write with
Writing partners keep you honest. Decide you'll each write for 20 minutes to start. Grab any topic and just move that pen. If you find yourself stuck, seeing the person across from you still scribbling away will inspire you to get past it.
Step 4: Shut up and write
Forget all the rules, such as "Write what you know." Once you get going, what else is there anyway? The essential thing is to begin. Don't talk about it. Don't get a lovely studio or a beautiful desk. Just do it.
Step 5: Practice silence
Behind writing, behind words, is no words. We need to know about that place. It gives us a larger perspective from which to handle language. Silence can be the door to listening, which is one of the great cornerstones to writing.
Step 6: Reading is everything
Sometimes my students come to me and tell me they don't read. Why should someone read you if you're not reading anybody else? Writers are your real teachers. When you read a book, you're studying the mind of the author. Reading exercises and develops the mind.
