What's going on?


A lot might ponder and ask:-
  • MOTIF after the last entry on the 7th terus kediaman tanpa any new entries? Malas kah?
  • MOTIF since the last update, busy memanjang? Urusan kerja kah? Lalala...
  • MOTIF busy dok buat apa tatau? Bercintan cintun bagai kah? OPS!
  • MOTIF sebok shopping ligat kah katanya? Toy baru for New Year?
  • MOTIF - eh brapa banyak punya motif ha!?
Owh well - you guys takkan percaya how busy I was these past few days; TERAMAT! Busy sampai malas nak update blog, or sampai penat yaamats, or kedua- dua nya sekali yer. Muahahahah! Actually, niat nak update blog tu ade. Citer pon ade nak diciter kan - tapi kan memandangkan I'm extremely busy with work, sampai balik pun ade kalanya lewat ya amats - so jadik macam, bile sampai umah jer, all I wanted to do is just relax dan tidur...

Well, anyways, am back. Now mek nak citer apa tatau... 1st things 1st... keje. Aiyoh. Busy teramat as usual - the first 3 months dalam tahun nih memang mek budget busy kebusyan yaamats pon. Was busy arranging Fiona Fie's group of 4 ke Bali (eh, depa departed hari nih ler... aiyoh!) sampai this 14th kot. Then, mek sebok dengan arrangement group of engineers nak bawak family² bagai sampai total of 30 pax nak ke Jakarta/ Puncak and Bandung by mid next month - at the same time mek sebok arranging pasal that state government's trip to Cairo/ Rome (which state tatau? LALALALA) and on top of that, mek sebok dengan preparasi nak ke Umrah in March also. All in all mek sebok sebab mek buat these promotions online also kat Cari.com and the sambutan, Ya Allah - menggalakkan! Serious! Memang sangat menggalakkan. Mek girang sangat! Sampai tak menyempat² mek nak reply requests depa for quotations/ itineraries and stuff... aiyoh!

1001 Ragam Manusia On Board...


Lama jugak ek me dinch buat entry pasal pengalaman, sharing experiences mek sewaktu berkhidmat as MAS Cabin Crew, kan? Well kali nih, mek terasa nak buat entry nih, yang thanks to ISIS NATASHA punye ENTRY la mek dapat idea nih. Credits to Isis... *Clap clap! Clap sikit semua... pandainyiieerrrr...*

DISCLAIMER: Dalam entry nih, contoh² cerita yang mek taruk nih, bukan sekadar yang dilalui mek personally, malah ada yang dilalui oleh kawan² mek yang kemudiannya diceritakan kembali pada mek. Cerita² nih bukan gambaran 100% tentang crew MH (MAS) yer. Apa yang me ceritakan here basically what either me, or my friends personally went through dan with no niat nak burukkan mana² pihak - be it crew ke, passengers ke or even MH as for that matter. My main tujuan is just to share. Thank you...

Bukan skadar keje dengan airliner, bahkan, keje mana² sekalipon yang ade dealing with kelibat manusia as pelanggan, macam keje banks ke, penyambut tetamu ke, hotels ke ape ke, or even keje office dimana kite kena jumpa/ berinteraksi with another human beings, sudah pasti dan semestinya we're bound to meet 1001 jenis ragam manusia, kan? And as for me, waktu keje dengan MAS dulu, mek also had the opportunity to meet 1001 types of people bergelar passengers/ customers, yang adakalahnya, tak mematuhi piagam "CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT"<- dalam hati mek, yaaakkdush! Tak der maknenye u're always right when u're always WRONG! Kan?

ENCOUNTER 1 - Refreshment Service

Kes nih, bukan setakat kawan² mek yang went throught it - mek pon lalui jugak and personally, my encounter was a bit too much for me not to laugh dan carut dalam hati (DALAM HATI JER YER - ko gila mek nak buat cakap direct depan passenger tu? Mau kena KOMPLEN lepas tu! LOL!). From point A to point B, we call it as 1 flight, kan? For us crew/ orang² airlines, we call it, 1 sector... So mrasalah certain sectors, depending on the flight time and routes, services may differ. Like Alor Star ke KL, sector tu, dan sector² lain dari di Semenanjung Malaysia ke KUL (KL) tu, dikire as short sector domestic flight dan in Economy class, kiteorang serve JUICE/ drinks jer (back then la. Now mek tatau depa serve apa sebab dok naik Air Asia jer kan? Hehehe). So sectors like KUL-KCH (Kuching) and BKI (KK) tu pulak - domestic short sectors, kiteorang serve meals. Like for KCH ke KK pulak, kiteorang serve refreshment ala ala sandwich and juices with coffee or tea bagai, kan? Ha - dalam flight tu la terjadinya insiden iney... bende nih jadik lepas service Economy class completed, collection of refreshment trays done katanya.

Passenger: Hello... hello... (Panggilnya seorang passenger kat mek as dia nampak mek dok catwalk kat aisle B737-400 tu pi mai pi mai dok check the cabin, tgk ade pa per yang boleh dok collect by hands ke ape ke kan...)

Me: (ADOI! Perlu la ko nak berhello²? Like mek ado NAMA, NAME TAG! Tak gherti² nak sebut ley?) Yer Encik... (Tetap nih senyum sokmo lite² sentap dalam hati...)

Passenger: Erm... dah habis dah ke? (Dia tanya sambil dok look around depan belakang cabin)

Me: Ape yang dah habis Encik? (Mek tanya dia, also sambil tgk depan dan belakang cabin - habis apanya tatau!?!)

Passenger: Makan?

Me: Owh - dah Encik. Kenape? Encik nak pa per lagik ke?

Passenger: Ade pa per yang leh makan lagi tak? Sandwich tadi tak kenyang la...

Me: Owh ye ke. Kiteorang ade peanuts and biscuits - maybe saye boleh buatkan coffee or tea if you like? Kite still have time before kite land into KK...

Passenger: Ler... biskut dengan kacang je? Lain² makanan ringan tak der ke? Fries ke, chips ke, salads ke ape ke?

Me: (DALAM HATI MEK, nak jer mek jawab "APA ENCIK PIKIR INI MC. DONALDS KE!? MIGHT AS WELL KO TANYA NASI AYAM MC. D ADA DAK?" kan?) *Sambil senyum lite² mek jawab... Tak der Encik... so Encik nak ke saya buat coffee ke tea ke ape ke?

Passenger: Tak per la. Thanks...

Me: (Dalam hati - SIAL! Merajuk la tu sebab tak der FRIES yer? Hahahahaha!) Ok... if you need anything, please do not hesitate to call any members of the cabin crew... (Giiiituuu lah! Plastic kah!? LALALALA!)

ENCOUNTER 2 - Uniform

As kite semua tahu, kiteorang crew ado uniform sendiri, kan? The stewardesses pakai kebatat (kebaya ketat) and for us, stewards (motif us? HAHAHA mek stewardee - ops!) kite orang ade 2 types of jacket. Satu yang all dark green, dipakai with a tie waktu on ground kat aiport and what not - and the one onboard, during service tu, kan kami pakai jacket lain pulak? Kalau tak notice, sila terbeliakkan bijik mata anda bile naik MAS nanti (tu pun kalau depa still maintain pakai uniform steward yang sama la - katanya nak tukar?). Kan onboard kami pakai jacket hijau bersongket gold kat edges tu, and also dinch pakai tie - pakai dengan bow tie, kan? Ha - mrasalah insiden nih berlaku waktu disembarkation kat airport mana tah. Ingat waktu embarkation naik flight jer ke the lorong² dalam aircraft tu jam? Mrasalah nak turun dari flight pun ada kalanya jam. Dan waktu tu la jadi insiden nih...

Passenger: So *****, lepas nih end of duty ke, or u guys flying off ke somewhere lagi?

Me: Dah habis dah - boleh cha alif bot! Hehehehe

Passenger: (Gelak sesama dengan mek) Suke la ye? Eh, tadi bukan you pakai jacket yang ade tenunan songket emas tu ke?

Me: (Motif ko taste kat mek ke yang ko prasan mek dah tukar jacket, bersedia nak berambus balik?) Hmmm, owh itu jacket for service onboard jer. Kami nak balik, kena tukar pakai yang ini pulak...

Passenger: Ic ic. Cantek jacket yang service tadi tu. You guys dapat tukar baru every year ke cemana?

Me: (Sambil mek nengok jam - haiii! Lembab pulak dahhh disembarkation kali nih! Mek dah ngantuk dan penat nih!) Ha ah - yearly. Tapi I hardly change pun sebab masih dalam keadaan elok, tak baik wasting...

Passenger: Itu la, kalau elok lagi, rugi jer tukar, kan? Tapi kalau diaorang suruh tukar jugak? Yang lama dipulangkan or disimpan?

Me: Sepatutnya dipulangkan - tapi I normally simpan. So banyak siket stock kat umah boleh tukar² - tak der lah lusuh nanti, kan? :)

Passenger: Ic. Eh tapi kalau dah banyak sangat, call la I... boleh bagi kat I satu set, nak pakai raya...

KEJI LAH! Ini pickup line yang paling HAZAB LAH! Ko taste kat mek ke, taste kat uniform mek!? Kalau taste kat uniform mek, ko memang SICK! Motif nak pakai jacket yang ade tenunan songket gold yang also ade logo MAS tu utk RAYA!?!?!?!?! Gila ka apa?! Ke feeling² nak mengaku diri kau pon crew?! Dan kalau ko taste kat mek dan ini lah gayanya kau nak tackle mek, ala ala pickup line tu, ko memang SICK also! Keji lah! MEK GELAK DALAM HATI JER!

ENCOUNTER 3 - Drink Order

Ini jadi kat mek waktu mek buat flight international long haul flight, dan mek diassignedkan keje in Business Class. Procedure wise, lepas take off, sebelum start any meal service, drinks yang telah diorder oleh penumpang, akan diservekan, sambil depa makan satay dulu, sebelum service meal dimulakan. Dan waktu tu, on ground lagi, since passenger in Business Class tak ramai (eh, ramai ke tak ramai ke, tetap kena buat procedure nih), mek dah started amek drink order, utk pass kat galley steward (FS B) mek. Yer, waktu tu mek keje Business class stewardess (FSS B). Eh, mek dah citer dah dulu nih, kan? Sapa keje dalam cabin, regardless dia laki ke pompuan ke adek² ke, designated job dia tu diberi nama Stewardess Cabin. And sape keje Galley, regardless dia steward ke stewardess ke stewardee ke, dia akan digelar Galley Steward. Gittu... so anyways...

Me: Excuse me Sir, any drinks for you after take off? (In Business Class and First Class, nama passenger harus disebut. NAMUN, sekiranya PIS *Passenger Information Sheet* belom diserahkan oleh ground staff ke supervisor crew dan belum dipasskan kepada the cabin stewardess, mrasalah kena SIR dan MADAM jer, kan?)

Passenger: Erm... I would like to have, tea please...

Me: How would you like your tea Sir?

Passenger: (Mujur dia tak jawab cam 'orang tu' - "I would like my tea in a cup", kan? HAHAHA! Mek tannak sebut sape, satgi mek kena SAMAN! LALALAL! Kalau u ols check my previous past past entries pasal MAS and me nih kan, mrasalah you'll find out siapa yang cakap "TEA IN A CUP" tu, kan? Heheh or was it COFFEE tatau? Hurmmm...) Make it black,  with 2 sugars pls... (cubes yer!)

Me: Will do, thank you Sir...

Passenger: Owh yes and add some ice with it...

Me: Err, ok Sir... will do...

Passenger: And yes please add some lime cordial, and garnish with lemon slice, and have that drink in a glass and not in a cup please? Thanks...

MACAM KESIAL! Bukankan lebih senang kalau ko cakap, "I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ICE LEMON TEA" !?!?!?!!?!?!?! Macam gampang! Passengers are always right ley? Ini right la sangat, kan? Walhal ada lagi cara nak RIGHT kan keadaan tu. Order bagai nak rak, alih² ICE LEMON TEA! Tak ke sentap aku time tu habiskan 5 minit utk dia sorang je? Owh well! He paid for the flight and for my salary too, yeah true. Tapi perlu la ko nak bagi tahu cara² nak buat your drink sekali? HAHAHAHAHAHAAH!

ENCOUNTER 4 - Aircraft Properties

Pillows, blankets, cutleries, apa² jer product/ perkakasan hak milik airlines, by right, TAK LEH DIBAWAK TURUN yer. Tapi kalau ade yang curik² bawak turun tu, hehehe - kalau lepas dari security, dan tak kena tangkap, ok lah. Kalau kena, mrasalah pulangkan balik! PULANGKAN! Hahahaha!

Tapi yang ini, kesahnye agak LAIN sikit. Bukan mek yang laluinya - tapi kawan mek. Batchgirl mek yang went through this dan citerkan kat kami semua...

Scene: After all passengers dah disembarked keluar dari flight. Crew² tgh sebok check for bende² yang maybe tertinggal ke ape ke oleh passengers, and some sebok helping the aircraft cleaners clean the cabin, preparing for the next flight, sebok betul²kan newspapers and doing all the on-ground transit duties... when the securiy came onboard with one passenger, aged dalam linkungan 24 to 25, Malay man, nerdy a bit, and nampak cam, tah - cam tak betul lite² geeky jer?

Leading stewardess: Ade apa nih bang?

Security: Cik tanya la dia sendiri apa dia dah ambik turun dari flight nih?

Leading stewardess: Encik, Encik ada ambik ape ape barang hakmilik MAS nih ke?

Passenger: *Tunduk - diam*

Leading stewardess: Bang, apa dia dah amek bang? Kalau setakat pillows/ blankets ke ape ke - ala bende kecik jer bang...

Security: Cik tanya la bebetul apa dia amek. Tapi kalau dia taknak cakap, cuba tgk apa yang dok tergantung terjuntai keluar dari beg dia nih...

Si leading nih pon dok la belek² - apa kebendenye... familar sangat bende berjuntai tu...

Leading stewardess: YA ALLAH! LIFE VEST!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

Ha hamek kau! Bukan EY (economy) pillows and blankets ke, or styrene juice cups or what not yer - LIFE VEST YER! Yang dok ado kat bawah seat tu! KO ADO!? Kalau ado, ko mamps ley!? Kawan mek time tu dah tergelak² dalam hati tgk leading stewardess mek macam nak pengsan. Yer lah, if found missing, Leading tu la kena sebab... err... tah? Ke the captain tah? Tapi yang mek tau, big problem la for the whole set of crew kalau the lifevest tak cukup katanya, kan?

Apa alasan budak tu tatau?

Passenger: Saya baru 1st time naik kapal terbang, dan mungkin last time saya nak naik kapal terbang. Saya sakit dan mungkin tak hidup lama. Saya nak abadikan kenangan saya naik flight, selama²nya abadi dalam hidup saya...

AND YOU DECIDED TO CURIK AMEK BUAT TANDA INGATAN LEY BY AMEK LIFE VEST MAS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Kesian gak mek dgr dia nye alasan - nak mati dah, hidup dah tak lama, kan? Tapi perlu la kau mencuri sebelum mati?

Kalau kes macam nih tetap nak kata "PASSENGERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT" - mek nak BUNOH DIRI!

ENCOUNTER 5 - Teh Tarik

Bende nih jadi kat seoarang teman mek, Leading stewardess. Dan lepas tu, ade selang beberapa bulan, like dejavu, berlaku kat mek piuler! HAHAHA... keji la keji! It was KBR-KUL sector, (Kota Bharu ke KL - and ini sector kawan mek tu yer. Kesah mek, similar to this la, only thing was mek acting Leading steward sebab Leading mek MIA for flight, dan mek had a junior steward with me. Whereas kawan mek nih, Leading stewardess, and had a junior stewardess working with her in B737 Business Class cabin yang memuatkan 16 seat dan it was FULL flight, 16 passengers... all men katanya, ala ala business/ government ppl... mati la if Isis, dia address them as P²WS, kan? Pakcik Pakcik Waktu Senja, KAN ISIS!? Mati la kau!) Dan sepertimana kite tahu (or may not know), KBR-KUL sector, short flight, kan? And Business Class, diaorang serve refreshment (in economy, juice sector sajork - mati la with fries and chips and salads too! LOL!). So anyways, berbalik pada citer kawan mek nih...

On ground: As all passengers boarded the flight, stewardess tu sebok serve welcoming juice, hot towel, simpan jackets pakcik² tu semua and entertained them with other things like news paper lain, selali yang dalam seat-pocket in front of their seats tu and stuffs. And lepas tu, as the stewardess nak buat drink-order for after take off, utk diserve sekali dengan refreshment tu, it was time to do the Safety Demo briefing. So tertunda japs her Drink Order tu. Lepas dah habis safety demo, dia quickly nak amek drink order supaya tak kelam kabut after take off baru nak amek, takut lambat pulak. And waktu dia dok amek drink order tu, ala² aircrafts engines dah on, so ala ala dengar tak dgr jer passengers nih cakap ape kan, (biasalah - Business Class pax kan profile depa semua high² class - majority la kan, and diaorang bukan jenis cakap kuat macam kat pasar, kan? BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!) and the junior stewardess pulak, PEKAK, kan... so mrasalah... ditanya nya berulang kali kedua rasenye...

Stewardess: Ape dia Encik?

Passenger: TEH TARIK, KURANG MANIS - 2 SUGARS PLS!

And waktu tu, she was only asking the 1st two passenger's drink orders. MRASALAH kerana kepekakkannye si stewardess tu, by the time dia HABIS amek all 16 pax drink order, penumpang² lain yang dgr jeritan 1st passenger tadi tu mintak teh tarik, HABIS yang lain² nih pon gigih mintak teh tarik also! Kalau dah selalu naik business class, tak yah la jerit kalau kami crew tak dgr. Tak salah hang anjakkan badan hang tu siket, pi dekat² siket stewardess/ steward tu, dan ala ala cakap slow² yang hang nak TEH TARIK KURANG MANIS 2 CUBES OF SUGAR, kan!? Hang ingat nih kedai MAMAK!? Dan yang lain² 15 pax nih pon, adoi la - dah dgq sorang mintak teh tarik, semua pakat nak mintak teh tarik. Mau tak semput, kempot, nak mampos kami yang nak buat teh tarik one by one bagainya tarik nak rak dalam galley sempit Business Class B737 tu! Kesian kawan mek. Dia tarik lah one by one teh tarik tu.

Tapi kes mek lain SIKIT. Kalau kes nih tadik si passenger tu yang jerit, kes mek, si steward mek yang PEKAK OVERDOSE dan very the suara kalahkan suara garau mek - dia yang pi jerit...

Steward: OWH, nak TEH TARIK YER. Sorry yer Encik, tak brapa jelas...

Nah! Habis semua passenger dalam business class tu nak teh tarik also. MEK DAH CUAK! Hello!? Mek masuk training school, mana ada diajar buat teh tarik sampai 16 glass. Tapi MUJUR ade sorang senior steward pernah kasik tips cemana nak buat teh tarik EXPRESS. (MANA² crew yang baca teknik nih kat blog mek nih, kalau dah tau,ok la. Kalau yang baru tahu, dan cuba nak buat, kalau KENA dengan mana² supervisory crew or senior crew, jgn hang nak kata mak ajaq nah! Sendiri buat, sendiri mau tanggung!)

1. Masukkan uncang teh yang banyak² tu dalam tea jug
2. Rendam dengan air panas sehingga mencapai kepekatan yang diingini
3. Keluarkan uncang² teh tu
4. Masukkan gula (cubes) secukup rasa - hentam jer lah
5. Masukkan susu kedalam jug itiew (On board kami tak der susu pekat - dan bukan susu tepung yer, mind you. Kami guna evoporated milk yer... mek sker!) sehingga mencapai color teh susu yang sewajarnya (pon, mek main pakai boh ikutdan jer, dan hentam jer la labu!)
6. What? Tuang/ tarik ke dalam gelas? ADDINCH! Step 6, masukkan teh susu panas yang dah siap tu kedalam botol MINERAL WATER BESAR yang kosong... tutup botol tu dengan penutup. AWAS: Jgn tuang teh susu tu PENUH sampai satu botol tu. AGAK² dah ler like, 3/4 full?
7. KOCAK YAHHH KOCAKKKKK! GONCANG DEKNON GONCANG! Hoyehhhhh hoooyehhhh!!!! *Dinasihatkan buat adengan lucah - that'll make it even FUN! LOL!
8. Tuang ke dalam gelas - DAH! Siap ade buih! MRASA!!!

Mati la mak! Hahahahahahahaha

For the name of LOVE?




Sham: Sayang... I'm getting married...

Sofi: *Sigh* *Tersenyum...* Orang dah jangka dah, masa cam gini pasti akan tiba. Tapi orang tak sangka la pulak masa tu akan tiba sepantas ini.

Sham: Sayang, ini bukan kehendak orang. Dia tahu, kan? Dia paham, kan? Ibu orang dah mendesak... katanya orang dah sampai masa utk berumahtangga dan take life seriously

Sofi: *Sigh... again* Orang paham...

Sham: Sayang, jgn la macam ni. Dia tahu kan, hanya dia saja dalam hati orang. Tapi ibu tetap dengan keputusannya nak orang kawin segera dengan Sarah. Orang dah buntu, tak tahu apa nak buat, melainkan menerima saja takdirNYA. Tapi dia kena ingat yang orang bukan nak sakitkan hati dia or anything. Orang dah tak der pilihan. Orang taknak kecewakan harapan ibu, but at the same time orang tak tergamak nak lukakan hati dia... tapi...

Sofi: Like I said, I understand... Sekiranya ini yang terbaik utk dia, orang akan tetap bahagia... Besides, memang dia kena lalui jugak semua nih - dia kan straight. Orang paham...

I'm sure at this point, you readers would have managed to guess it right, that, this conversation, is between a straight guy who has been seeing and getting into a relationship with a not-so-straight girl i.e. a drag queen...

Sham: Sayang, don't make this harder on me...

Sofi: No, I'm not... I'm telling you, it's ok. Mungkin jodoh kita sampai disini. Tapi dia kena ingat... biarpun kita sampai disini saja, orang akan tetap sayangkan dia. Orang doakan yang dia akan bahagia disamping Sara, yang bagi ibu dia, lebih layak duduk disamping dia...

Sham: *Terdiam*

Sofi: 2 tahun lepas bile kite declared, kite dah jangka bende ni akan berlaku. Kite tahu, selama mana kita mungkin dan mampu bertahan, dia tetap straight dan tetap kena teruskan hidup as a straight man, kan? Lain la kalau dia bukan straight; dia gay ke or ape ke, itu lain citer. Ini, dia sendiri mengaku yang dia still have feelings towards girls, so I guess, orang tak leh la nak sekat dia from leading your normal straight life, betul tak?

Sham: *Mengangguk² saja...*

Sofi: Yang, listen to me. Orang redha dengan keadaan, dan orang terima segalanya. Orang anggap semua ni sebagai dugaan hidup orang. Dan dengan rela hati, demi cinta orang terhadap dia, orang sanggup lepaskan dia...

Sham: Tapi orang taknak lepaskan dia... orang sayangkan dia!

Sofi: Abis tu, macam mana? You can't be selfish you know - you can't have both, me and Sara. It wouldn't be fair for Sara, it wouldn't be fair for me as well - you know that as much as I do Yang...

Sham: Walaupun orang kawin dengan Sara, orang tetap nak dia...

At this point, somehow or rather, honestly, Sara was the least that Sofi could ever think of. It's Sham who's in her heart and wandering mind...

Sofi: Berilah orang tempoh, sedikit masa, utk orang pikirkan hal nih...

Sham: You have the world to think about this; so long as at the end of that time, dia tak decide to end all this...

And masa berlalu, Sham went through the marriage with Sara, and still, seeing Sofi. Although not as often as before, although not as close as before, Sofi and Sham still boleh diconsiderkan as couples. It breaks Sofi's heart seeing Sara and Sham, right in front of her very own eyes. Tapi kenyataannya, Sofi terpaksa terima yang dia jauh berbeza dengan Sara. Sara tulen, and she's not... and it's only fair that Sofi benarkan Sara dalam hidup Sham sebab it's only natural; Sofi and Sham - that's against the natural law...

For Sofi, setelah nearly berbulan berlalu that Sham and Sara diijabkabulkan, dia merasakan, it's time for her to move on as well. She loved Sham, more than anything. She cared for Sham, just as much that she cared for him even before Sham got married. Tapi its all so, different now. When she said that she'll continue to see Sham, love Sham and all for him, after he got married, she was like, lonely, sad, depressed and all upset. Bluntly put, she had no choice. She was in too deep for Sham; and for the sake of the love for Sham, she lalui jugak the relationship with him; only after the marriage, it is no longer a relationship, more or less like a scandal dengan 'laki orang' now... and after feeling that she is day by day getting further, far away from him, she decides that it's about time that she moves on.

Exactly a year after Sham's marriage to Sara - Sofi found someone. Just as nice as Sham, just as responsible as Sham, just as handsome and tall and all, like Sham... but Sofi masih teragak² to accept Shah; sebab worrying what Sham might think of the idea. So dia pendamkan hasrat, giving excuses and all to Shah, yang constantly everyday cuba menyunting Sofi for his own... until one day...

Sham: Sayang, Sara's pregnant... I'm going to be a father soon!

That was the turning point where Sofi rasa, that's it. It's the end. Enough with her tempering with Sara's husband. Sofi tak sanggup nak go on, messing around with the soon-to-be-born baby, anak kepada Sham. Enough with having scandal dengan 'laki orang' - and now, or should I say, soon, having scandal dengan "bapak budak" pulak? That very instant, utk menutupi luka dihatinya, sebelum it gets any worse, Sofi, finally accepted Shah. True, it may look as though Sofi is using Shah, but the truth was, Shah knew everything, like I told you readers now - from A to Z. Everything! Every single detail and all, Shah knew all about it. And that's why Shah sanggup tunggu, wait and wait, sampai to the extend where Sofi couldn't bare the fact that she bukan sekadar ade hubungan sulit dengan 'laki orang', malah, ade hubungan dengan 'bapak budak'... and penantian Shah berhasil when Sofi found out from Sham that Sara's pregnant...

And soon, tak lama selepas Sofi bercinta dengan Shah, Sham got to know about it, all he went all upset, pissed off, and all..

Sofi: Why are you mad?! Why are you pissed off?

Sham: Takder lah. Orang tak der nak marah² or anything. Orang just terkejut... Tak sangka dia sanggup buat orang macam ni...

Sofi: Buat ape?! What have I done? Owh, maksud dia, sampainya hati orang bercinta dengan Shah, and not you anymore?

Sham: *Terdiam*

Sofi: Sham... cukup la selama nih kita bercinta. Orang cuba nak stop all this earlier, tapi, bukan sekadar dia, orang sendiri tak mampu. That's why orang continued seeing dia. Dan at that time, orang belum temui any other guy yang mampu take up your role in my life.

Sham: I know...

Sofi: Sham, kerana orang sayangkan dia lah, orang terpaksa buat macam nih now sebelum it gets worse. Dia bukan sekadar suami orang, malah, soon, dia akan jadi AYAH. Orang tak sanggup...

Sham: *Terdiam lagi*

Sofi: Dulu you once said, "Don't make this harder on me..." Now, am asking the same for you. Don't make all this harder on me. If I continue seeing you, I'm not only breaking the hearts of your wife, and your children; most importantly, I'm breaking my own heart...

Sham: *Terdiam, masih...*

Sofi: Yang, cakap lah! Jgn membisu cam ni... why can't you be happy for me? Orang nak dia dgr betul² apa orang cakap ni. When you married Sara, I was completely heart-broken. Namun, sebab terlalu sayangkan dia, orang lalui jugak, dan orang terima. Sebab I want the best for you. Dia jangan ingat for even 1 minute, yang selepas dia kawin dengan Sara, orang stopped loving you, stopped caring for you - no. Not even for 1 second pernah terlintas utk orang abaikan dia. I may have found the right person to ease your burden, but that doesn't mean I cannot love u and care for u anymore? Sama macam dia jugak - you married Sara. But you still loved me, you still cared for me, owh for crying out loud, you still slept with me! It's the same thing now, cuma berubah dialog and now the ball is in my side now... Please, be happy for me, as I once happy for you when you had Sara sitting next to you in your life. Orang tak nak gaduh, orang tan nak kita bermasam muka. Orang still nak kawan dengan dia, care for you, love you, but... tah la. I'm only seeing that you're being selfish. You have Sara in your life, wouldn't it be fair now if I have that same privilege? Don't make all these seems fair to you and not for me - Life is all about being fair. You win some, you lose some. You give some, you take some...

Sham: *Still... diam*

Sofi: If you want it to end, this way, then orang redha jer dengan kemahuan dan kehendak dia. Tapi dia kena ingat, apa yang dia trasa hati sebab dia dapat tahu orang found somebody else tu, itu baru 1/4 dari apa yang orang had to go through when dia decided to proceed, berkahwin dengan Sara. Orang terima keadaan tu, and hoped for the best. And so why can't dia be like orang back then? All I wanted was for you to be happy - but I guess, all you want is to have both, Sara and me, and you just don't want me to be happy now, do you? Not that am saying that am not happy waktu orang dgn dia. Tapi dia kena paham, orang do this for the best. Orang hanya pikirkan dia, dan the consequences dimasa depan, should it gets deeper, memang akan parah. It might not be parah for you - but it will definitely be for me...

Sham: Orang relakan dia pergi... terima kasih for all the memories and all...

Sofi: THAT'S IT? As simple as that jer dia punya reply? I'm not asking you to be all berbunga² dalam berkata², but, that's it? The way you put it, it's like, then end?

Sham: *Terdiam...*

Sofi: So I guess it's true then, you want this to end this way... just to let you know, you've disappointed me... your attitude... really... I wish I saw this coming... I was thinking like, eventhough I'm gonna be with Shah, I was like hoping we could still be friends. But I guess... not...

Am not seeking the answer for questions like - salah siapakah dalam hal ini? Nope - am not. All I'm curious about knowing, dua soalan ni jer...

1. Letting Sham, si "Suami Orang" dan bakal "AYAH" go, out of her life, and having Shah who is equally good like Sham, only difference that he's gay and into drag queens and no longer has interests in girls, into her life, was Sofi's best decision - ever?

2. Was Sham being fair to Sofi? Some might say Sham has the every right to be all upset and all regarding this Sofi pushing him out of her life and having Shah as a replacement - why? Care to tell?

3. (Make that 3 questions...) Salah Sofi ke in the first place to indulge herself dalam perhubungan dengan Suami Orang?

"... Bila kita mencintai yang lain, mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar,
sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah sayangku akan hilang
Our love will stay in my heart... My heart..."



Just another quick q: Dari lirik diatas tu, bukankah ia bermaksud, "Even if aku bercinta dengan orang lain, perit it may seems, tapi, cintaku terhadapmu takkan hilang..." kan? Hurmm...

DISCLAIMER: If you have nothing good to say about this "Based on true-encounter" love entry, then I suggest you don't hit the "COMMENT" button. Save your condempts and hates and dislikings to this entry, the people/ characters in it, away from here ya... remember, I have the advantage - the button "DELETE COMMENT" is just a-mouse-click away... owh and another thing, remember "LOVE ME OR HATE ME, BUT SPARE ME YOUR INDIFFERENCES, ELSEWHERE" - PS: This entry has nothing to do with me nah? True story pun, tapi, bukan ade kena mengena dengan mek tau! Harharhar *Ceh, baru jer feels² sad entry, dah buat lawak spastic! LOL!

Farewell 2006; Hello 2007!!!





It's the end of 2006, and welcomes the fresh new start of 2007! Wow, seriously, cepat sunggoh masa berlalu kan? Like, I thought it was like only yesterday jer kite celebrated 2006 January 1st, kan? Dahhh masuk 2007 pulak katanya - dasyat sunggoh masa berlalu...

Initially this entry dah di buat at 00:00:01, January 1st, 2007. But it was just an entry with that pic of myself wishing Happy New Year 2007, and that was it. Ok, so as promised, entry ini akan di updated-kan katanya, kan? So mrasa. Mek nak update siket...

Nothing much nak diupdatekan pon - nope, not telling how I celebrated new year ke ape ke - maybe next time, next entry. So apanye yang mek nak update dalam entry nih? Aha - as usual. AZAM TAHUN BARU! Mati la azam tahun lepas mek tak brapa ingat dah ape nye! LOL!

So what will it be, semangat dan azam tahun baru for me utk 2007? :) Here's the list...
  1. To not maintain my weight - (no, am not saying am gonna get fat again! LOL!) Cukup lah pengalaman 2005 mek mengkimpahkan diri, kan? Seksa bebenor 2006 menurunkan balik berat badan. And after Miss World pageant hari tu, cukup la mek pamperedkan diri mek dengan MAKAN MAKAN dan MAKAN tak ingat donia! YES, mek dosi gained weight a bit. So 2007, mek nak bukan skadar maintain weight, but to KURANGKAN lagi sampai 55kg. November 2006, during the pageant, mek was 59kg. And by end of the year 2006, mek dah up balik to 64kg. So mek nak kena turunkan balik, not just back to 55kg (weight-dulu yang tak tercapai before the pageant) but to maintain back that weight of 55kg!
  2. Azam mek, to jaga keharmonian dan mengekalkan perhubungan mek dengan DIA... siapakah? Nanti lah mek gembar gemburkan. Tell now also, still new. Kang tak jadik as planned, naya jer. Biar lah lama siket - nanti mek introduce... tapi personally for me, mek nak jaga relationship tu sebaik mungkin and make it last...
  3. Azam mek yang ketiga nih, well, erm, cemana nak cakap ek... ok. As many of you ols tahu, mek kuat emo - DQ and stuff, right? Time after time mek cuba tangani masalah attitude emo nih, kan? But 2007 - yes, mek akan tetap cuba tangani masalah emo over dq ke ape ke nih semua - tapi bukannye mek nak hapuskan that attribute in me. Sebab kalau mek tak over dq, mek tak over emo, it wouldn't have made what I am today. Being sensitive is a must as a human being - or else you would be called a heart-less person for not being sensitive towards your surroundings, correct? Tapi once kite dipush over our limits, thats when kite tend to get over emo and over sensitive too. So I plan to work on that, not to hapuskan part of me tu, but to kurangkan. And as for the rest, yang tak dapat terima my attribute tu, I guess, I tak mampu to accommodate you la kot. Like, to be friends, and part of the human being cyle around the globe, one must be able to accept siapa yang dia berkawan tu, baik dan buruknya, kan? Apa aku merepek dalam point number 3 nih ek - ish! All am saying is that, accept me for who and what I truly am, and if you can't, its your lost not mine... azam mek this year, to berikan lebih perhatian dan kepentingan kepada how I would feel, how my heart would react to everything and everything, and kurangkan about thinking about how others would feel or think about me. Priority, pada diri sendiri (but that doesn't make me an over-sensitive heartless bitch tau! LOL!) dan secondly baru pada the surroundings. I've been concentrating on how ppl that revolved around me feels and thinks instead of thinking about myself... :)
  4. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - nak majukan dan perkembangkan lagi business mek yang mek dah jaga nak masuk 2 tahun dah nih! :) Mek will be appointing someone dari golongan family/ relatives jugak to be 2nd after me in the company, jussst in case kalaaaau... erm... *see point number 6...
  5. Finally - azam mek tahun nih - kurangkan musuh dan ramaikan kenalan lagi (aiyoh, so Miss Frienship sangat kan this last one nih? LOL!!!)
  6. This one, I was planning to just keep it to myself tapi, owh well, what the heck. Azam mek utk tahun 2007 - mek nak get myself involved balik dengan Airlines. I know, I know, I know I dah established and have my own company and what not; tapi sometimes, when you like and love doing something, sometimes you just can't let it go just like that, kan? Tah lah - this one, mek tak der lah kata azam mek utk tahun 2007 yang mek ingin dan akan kecapi, tapiii, kalau ade rezeki, apa lah salahnya... Apa yang mek cakapkan nih? Well - lets just say, biarlah ia menjadi tanda soal lagi buat peringkat sekarang, tapi cukup mek katakan yang it has something to do with Emirates and Qatar Airways... :)
So itu lah dia - edited update(s) for this entry! Happy New Year 2007!!! May all your dreams come true this year around.

PS: For those yang have been sms-ing me, sending me greetings and New Year's wishes and all over at my 012 mobile, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know I know - ade some yang berbalas, ade some (actually, MOSTLY - hiks!) yang TAK berbalas. Tah lah, kadang² tu, tak berbalas sms anda tu, doesn't mean mek tak teringat nak membalasnye, kan? Hehehehe... it's just... the usual alasan... BUSY LAH U OLS! Mati la mek busy apa tatau? Buat show new year in Penang? OPS! Lalalalala... duiii!!!

2006 - Looking back at a very colorful year...


An entry which sums up the whole year of 2006... I was actually looking forward to end the year with this entry - personally I think, this entry means a lot to me...



Indeed 2006 has been a very colorful year for me - a very rewarding year with tons of sweet memories that would last centuries after this; the year that allowed me to travel the world, expend my thoughts and dreams and let me be on top of that very dream in my own world at the end of 365 days in 2006. Of course, not that am forgetting the usual downs among the many ups throughout the year... But I guess, that's life I suppose - there's ups and definitely downs, gotta give a little in order to take a little, you gotta cry a little to smile, and most of all, in this life, you win some, and definitely you'll lose some. But in my case, I don't think its too much to say, that, I lose some in the beginning, and cry a lot (despite having a good year though... LOL!), to be all jolly and overjoyed and have that extra big happy smile on my face by the year end! :)

Throughout the year 2006...

Work work and work:
Thanks to the family business, I was given the chance to travel the world again... I thought I won't be able to travel abroad again after I finished my services with MH. But I guess I thought wrong. Throughout the year, I have realized that, the business/ work that am doing, its not so bad after all. I kindda like enjoyed doing it - it reminded me so much of my times back with MH. And for that I'm forever grateful to be given the chance to still be able to see the world...

Family affairs:
My family has always been there for me since, I could remember. In 2006, my family, not only had given me the chance to prove that I'm able to handle the business on my own and lead my life as I want to, but the main thing that I'm glad that happened in 2006, would definitely, the acceptance and understanding they had towards me. Being 27 means I'm an adult - and with that comes specific obligations (in which I think I have done my level best to show them that am capable of doing) and I think came in the respect from them towards me. I felt like, although am back staying with them under the same roof, still, I feel that they have understood and started to realize that its time to let lose of the control-chain and give me the trust that I needed. And for that am again, forever thankful, and grateful...

Personal life:
When 2005 came, I sort of like wanted to just disappear from the eyes of the public who knew Nurlea Laurielle Lai Lee @ Lea Laurielle - maybe not for good, but just for a while. And I did that. And I also recalled saying that after the 2005 silence, I'd come back in 2006. And indeed I did. It was a steadily slow start-off in early 2006, slowly but surely, I came back to the scene. Strange, because, after a year of silence (silence from public-appearance, not ONLINE because I was still reachable, online! LOL!), I never realized that it'll bring a great impact on me. I thought it'll just be like the ol'times. Again, my guess was wrong. It was as though I was starting anew, starting fresh, and back at zero, starting from scratch. And the 1st attempt in the scene (beauty pageant); I wouldn't call it as a failure, but it didn't turn out the way it should have been. But note that I didn't complaint, nor was I feeling upset about it. I was sure there would be something better for me to come. And indeed, something better happened in my life and what better way to end the year with a victory. Winning Miss World 2006 was like a dream come true. For once, (or make that twice if you count IQP2006) I wasn't expecting anything, I wasn't hoping for anything - and which I felt much happier when I won because it's the least expected victory. Finally, after a long wait, after the ups and downs preparing for it, the hard work and sweat and all those crazy diet routines and what not, FINALLY, it paid off. No need for ppl to do this, but I'm very much proud to say that I don't mind tapping my shoulders and say, "WELL DONE LEA!" Wouldn't you be proud too if you were in my shoes? But proud, not to that level where you tend to forget your roots and neglect your surroundings and how they feel. Yes, I'm very much thankful I didn't reach to that level. 2006 has definitely put me in a position where I'm on top of my own world, and there, I can see myself, doing things, step by step, went through stage by stage, experiencing the hurdles in life to be where I am now... really I didn't see it coming. Who would have thought? 2004 Dec, I felt my life came crashing down into thousand little pieces. Dec 2005, I could be up for the next Miss Jumbo 2006? And Dec 2006 - here I am, smiling my way writing this entry, happy to be where I am now and thinking - I DID IT! And am also talking about the weight issue here, yes... Guess one of my wishes for 2006 did come true - I lost weight! (And congratulations Lea, you're gaining it back! LOL!)

Online Social life:
Apart from gaining back the status in the year 2006, and seeing faces I've missed, the year also see me getting hyperly active in socializing online. With the personal website at www.lealaurielle.com, and its Members Area and Forum and all, I'd have to say that 2006 has thought me a lot to be more of a PC-literate person. Believe me if I haven't spent like more than 12 hours a day, just sitting in front of the pc (not just blogging and exploring the wonderful world on the world wide web), I would have to say that I'd be still have a long was to go in understanding the life 'online' and catching up things to be knowledgable and compatible in the ever advanced world. And thus, having the urge to get all socialized online, it made me meet, and have more friends, more than I never would have thought of having. And so, I can say that 2006, I've increased the number of friends, and am happy for that!

Love life:
I shall not dwell much about it, but as far as 2006 is concerned, I guess my love life is going on smoothly now. No point talking about the downs in the love lane - I guess that's what I had to go through, to be happy with HIM now...

All in all - definitely, 2006 gave me the chance to experience the best in life and what it has got to offer for now, and it is definitely, a sure-case of rewarding and liberating experience(s) of my life and I will always look back at 2006 with a big smile on my face... Thank You 2006...



12 hours left, and so long, farewell, 2006...

Wouldn’t risk my love even just one night
Our love will stay in my heart

Pernahkah kau menguntai

Mungkinkah hati ini akan tegar
Sebisa mungkin tak akan pernah
Sayangku akan hilang

If you love somebody could we be this strong
I willl fight to win, our love will conquer all
Wouldn’t risk my love even just one night
Our love will stay in my heart

Slow Internet Connection - How to use proxy


Case: Slow Internet Connection (Sources - thanks to forum Cari.com.my di board Internet, Multimedia, Web Design)

************************************************************************

Msg posted by zep:

UPDATES : Internet users has been advised that repair work at APCN2 may take several days, which means the slow link to international sites may persist for a while.

What is APCN2?

It is the longest international seabed fibre cable network, 19,000km in total length, in the Asia-Pacific, linking China, Japan, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and onward to linking America, Europe and Australia. The network went into operation in October 2002 for the initial phase.

The project was spearheaded by 26 telecommunications companies, namely Advantel, Cable & Wireless Global Network, Cable&Wireless HKT, China Telecom, China Unicom, Chunghwa Telecom, Concert, Global Network Services, Global One, Japan Telecom, KDD Corpe ration, Korea Telecom, KPN, Layer 2, MCI, WorldCom, Metromedia Giber Network Service, NTT Com, NCIC, OneLink Cable Network, PLDT, StarHub, SingTel, Taiwan Fixed Network, Teleglobe, Telekom Malaysia, Telstra and Williams Communications.

The APCN2 cable system was designed to provide 2.56 Terrabits per second (Tbps) using state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology to provide upgradeable, future proof transmission facilities. However, APCN2 currently runs on a designated transmission capacity of 160 Gigabits per second (Gbps).

According to the APCN2 agreement, Malaysia maintains a Terminal Station at Segment T2, Kuantan, whihc is within Segment S2 and represented by TM Berhad. Whereas, Segment S7 affected by this morning's earthquake consists of submarine cable containing four (4) optical fibre pairs that connect the Network Interfaces at the Terminal Station at Tanshui (Taiwan); and at the Terminal Station at Shantou (Mainland China).

Under the APCN2 specifications, all Segment S are terminal stations equipped with critical terminal equipment, including Network Interface for STM-1, STM-4, STM-16 and STM-64 levels.

Critically, the APCN2 Agreement also provisions that all Segment S must maintain adequate inventory of related spare and standby units and components, which include but not limited to optical amplifiers, BUs (Branching Units), cable lengths, and terminal equipment.

The customers' anticipation is none other than swift service recovery.

ANNOUNCEMENT

We wish to inform our customers that the Internet service is currently experiencing a degradation in performance caused by several outages at some of the international links.  This is attributed to the Richter 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck off the southern coast of Taiwan at 12.07 a.m. on 27th December 2006, which caused the APCN2 (Asia Pacific Cable Network 2) submarine cable fault between Shantou, China and Tanshui, Taiwan and between Lantau, Hong Kong and Chongming, China.

This has caused outages at several TM Net international transit and peering links, mainly to the said countries. As a result,  Internet users in Malaysia and other parts of Asia may be experiencing some delay when assessing content and websites hosted outside of Malaysia, especially in U.S., Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea and Europe. TM Net has taken immediate action to divert traffic through other back-up links to reduce the traffic congestion.

The international providers are carrying out immediate restoration works to rectify the problem.  We will be making further announcements when the service has resumed.

TM Net Sdn Bhd apologizes for any inconvenience caused whilst at the same time, we would like to assure you that we are doing all that is necessary in order to restore the service as soon as possible.

Customers can call TM Net Customer Interaction Centre at 1-300-88-9515 (24 hours) or 1-300-88-1515 from 8:00 a.m. till midnight or e-mail us at custcare@tm.net.my for further enquiries about this matter.
