Safety down the Drain!

As I compose this entry for my blog, I am still baffled with the most important aspect of our life, the affirmation of the safety in our daily routine or chores! I just came back from my favourite mamak stall near my place, to have my meal. (Some place with the weirdest yet delicious roti canai varieties) My visit to the mamak’s always filled with hoaxes and laughter but this time it was sombre and rather quiet. Puzzled came unfold when my favourite waiter there; Bro Sharabuddin, with ‘pail-full’ of tears held on eyes, said to me that few minutes before, his room was broken into by some unscrupulous people who manage to fleet with his cash that he kept to send back to his family in India.

Where is the justice? Where is the so-called safety? Everything seems to be down the drain and only sounds Greek. For all I know, I grew up in a closely-tied neighbourhood that I never came across this sort of incidents. *touchwood* To my dismay, he said the incident happened when the mamak’s was in service and during the sardine-packed-hour. The place of incident was just few metres away from the stall! How inconsiderate these buggers can be?

For what I know, I am scared to even wait at traffic lights nowadays regardless whatever time I am in. Everything has to be extra-carefully-given-attention-to! Feels like the crime rate is choking us day by day! Where is the justice?

Where would you consider save in this day and age? NO where!! The law is taken granted for! Even air-split-unit for air conditioners needs grill to safeguard its position! Sigh! I pray for some peace and no-more cases of snatch-theft, house break-in or even daylight robbery!

But is this possible?

I am keeping my fingers crossed! And people out there, be extra vigilant, not towards H1N1 only but extra chary with the happenings around you! God bless everyone!

Perfect Strangers with Perfect Love Story!

Do you believe in destiny? You may have come across many circumstances you yourself questioning regarding the existence of destiny. Well I am convinced more this time that destiny really does happen in life and I have two real-life incidents regarding this story! Friendship and love is inexorable occurrence in our life.

Earlier today, I thought it would be just another lame and quiet visit to my launderette like usual, but I was totally wrong. Happens to be, when I arrived at the place, there was another young woman waiting for her laundry. So I loaded two of the machines there with my cloths and was inserting the coins to kick-start the cycle, when there was this impulsive urge for me to just start the conversation with the lady by jesting about the ‘efficiency’ of the machine. (Thanks to Leil Lowndes for her book which inspired me to be more people’s person).

And there you go, being quite the chatterbox, I started talking with her. Little that I know, a small mockery would lead to know two good souls. This Ms. R came with Mr. A to the launderette together and I was happy to actually know this two wonderful people to talk with at the quite a boring place to be at. There you go, time flies so fast and without realising we spoke fairly vast topics covering from studies till love life. (And due to some royalty issue I am running off from paying, I’m not disclosing the real name of the person! Lol)

So talking about the love story, I wish I meet someone in life, since the story was very nice to listen, and I am darn sure that it will be more vital to endure! They were a very loving couple and I had fun time knowing them both. Let me brief through the love story of this handsome-couple. Being an independent and extrovert person, Ms. R was at a club one fine evening dancing with her perfect hangout-buddies; her cousins. While happily showing her moves on the dance floor she notices a bald guy looking at her which in this case its Mr. A. Probably he was awed and mesmerized with glow of love in his heart looking at the dancing-queen on the dance floor . (Love at first sight I presume)

With some good fortitude kept, both of them manage to exchange numbers at the end of the day. Guess what made Mr. A bagged the number, his chivalrousness. (Lesson #1: To make a woman respects you and like you, treat them with full respect). So after few meet up, the love oath was taken. And she explained why she likes him. He was being who he is and she could easily be herself, and there was no hypocrisy. No faking-it-up attitude. (Lesson #2: Be yourself when you are with a woman) Devotion happened in this story when Mr. A manages to comment on Ms. R’s flaw and they laughed together during one of their rendezvous. (Lesson #3: Love is a situation where couples can exchange comments on each other and laugh about it together).

Destiny does exist! First, I became friend to them with just a minor hoax to kick-up the conversation and second when I got to know their perfect love story, I knew, they were ‘destined’ to fall in love. Indeed, a good time spent at the launderette. And my saviour of the day is my good buddy, Zati Hanani, who managed to find the way to the launderette at the correct time to accompany me. (Thanks Zati, I know you will read this) I manage to laugh and talk a lot the whole day.

I hope that these new found friends of mine will be staying happy always while I keep my finger crossed that I would end up in a good relationship when the right time comes. Still pondering on the love story that I heard today, well explained by both of them. Kudos to both of you!

Green Light or It’s Just a False Alarm??

Many times I came across of love stories of my friend and how their fantasy-world started just with a stare then a mere smile to start a conversation which will lead to a great date and a happily ever after marriage. In my case, it happened but always gets stuck in the midst of blossoming. Funny is the perfect word to describe how people can mistake infatuation with love and friendship with flirts.

Today, I was taken aback when my good buddy suddenly out of blues gave me two situations to answer. The scenario to answer was like a déjà-vu for me due to my experience on this matter. So let me walk you through the scenario and the answer I gave!

Beep... beep! My phone’s message tone went on, and there it was a message from my close buddy.

1st SMS/ Scenario 1: Can I ask you something, just wanted to know what a guy things la. You see this girl that you like down the hallway. She is walking in the opposite direction towards you la. You then make an eye contact and smile at her. She smiles back at you. After both of you pass-by each other, would you turn and look? And why do you do that? If that girl does not turn and look, what impression would you have?

After asking the permission to answer this question a bit later, I ponder what actually I would do (in this case what I did before once upon a time). So I replied as what I did and what should a guy do.

My reply: I would definitely turn and look at her, only after I shout mutely. I would turn because she is THE girl that I like. Then if she didn’t turn back I would still be happy for the moments that she smiled and tell myself two possible rationales of the happening.

1. She smiles because I smiled at her. She isn’t egoistic after all!
2. Damn, the guy that going to end up with the girl, going to be lucky!

After minutes passed by, another message came from my buddy, giving me a tricky and tough situation to handle!

2nd SMS/ Scenario 2: Okay. So if that girl turns and looks? How would you take it? As a green light to approach her?

Being the vigilant person, I replied promptly.

My reply again: Probably not approach her yet. Just the next ‘pass-by moment’ I would chip in ‘hi there...’ Green light is only presumed is she greets back and stops to talk to me. After all Rome wasn’t built in one day, so do relationship!

She was convinced and I am still sceptical who is actually giving her the hints! All the lucks for her and the flirting process! Anyways, if you were at that circumstances what would you do, to tackle this situation? At least my friend will get some guidelines on what she should think and so on so forth!

Reminiscing the Times of Yore!

‘Walking-down-memory-lane’ is always been a habit of mine since young age. I indulge in my past and thank God for every moment I spend on this humanity. Life stages have been walked appropriately and I could not be more gratitude from what I am now. There have been few folks who have always been my backbone in my achievements and standings now. Indirectly this entry is meant for you all; absolutely this is the wonders in my life which I treasure always as days pass by. You all have been God given reward for me, which surely I will never ever forget in life! Thanks for all those wonderful moments that will be rejoiced and cherished!
