Time Flies...

My partner reminded me that I am going back HOME again next week. I was shock when she said that because it never occur in my mind that it is NEXT WEEK. I look at the calender and it really shocks me that time flies without me noticing it. Yes, I am going back home to visit my parents again next week. When I thought of that, I started to realise that I have been in Kota Kinabalu for almost 3 months now. When my mind reached this point, I started to realise one thing, that my deposit with my previous house is still not fully paid yet. I am suprise... and shock. 3 months....and it might take longer than that. I don't know how I survives. But... God blessed me amazingly these few months. As for my previous firm that promised me that they will refund me when they hire a new lawyer, and that's didn't happen also. One month without salary, put up expenses for office and my place to stay, shipping my car and belonging, etc. etc. It was really a nightmare to me and I thought I couldn't get through with it. The good thing is, friends told me that they will be with me when I go through these. A few faithful friends can easily come out with money if I do need some. That has reminded me that if my friends also won't leave me, I am sure God won't either. True enough, God never did. I didn't even need helps from my friends so far.

I was talking to a friend yesterday and she reminds me that I really been through a lot for the past few months. Well, I did. But I went through it with God.

So, I am still waiting for those money to come back to me... and meanwhile, pray that I have more business.

Found...

I left office about 15 minutes earlier just to try if I can get sugar from one of this supermarket near my office. I trusted that I will be getting it from this supermarket because my clerk told me there are a lot there (2 to 3 weeks ago). When I reached the supermarket, I start my searching and while I was searching, this uncle asked around of whereabout the sugar is. I told him I am also searching for it. We were then told of the location of the sugar. We went together and ... guess what? ... only one pack of sugar left. With no hesitation, he picked it up and look at me guiltily. I was alright with it because I am sure I am not as desperate as he is. At least I still have about 1/4 of sugar left in my container. When he left with that one pack of sugar, he did asked around if there is any left. A person, I guess he is a supervisor of the supermarket came to me and I asked him if there is anymore sugar left. He said he will check. He took 10 minutes to came back to where the sugar is suppose to placed. He open a big pack and asked me how many packs I want. It is limited to 2kg per person, so I took 2kg and left. I guess it is the system that they are using - maximum of 2kg per person that makes sugar is still available in that supermarket.

So, yes... coffee is resume since this morning... it's lovely...

Heartache.....

Goodness me... it was 2 days ago that I noticed I forgot to pay for some parking tickets issued to me. Some, I guess is overdue... and I started to freak out. I decided to pay it before I came to work and guess what? It cost me about RM16.23 to pay all of it. It is a serious act of negligence I committed. A good lesson to remember. I have calculated, it is because of this, I have lost a week of fresh food. OH NO....!!!! The funniest thing is that, the personnel told me that I can choose either to pay or not to pay. I stare at her with this 'shocking' look asking myself "I do have an option? Why is that so?" Then before I said anything, she told me that she is going to give me 'DISCOUNT'. I am really shock. I am now thinking ... what if I do not pay? I am sure the JPJ or the relevant authority won't send me a summon. If JPJ doesn't allow me to drive, they will be at cost because they might lose me paying them taxes and so on. But being a good citizen of Malaysia, being the officer of the court and the most importantly, the child of God, I have chosen the step to pay them and suffer with no fresh food for a week.

Trust me, there are moment and occasions where even thought we have money, we can't get what we need and want. Do not get me wrong. I am not talking about LOVE. hahaha... I went across supermarkets, mini markets, convenient stores, 7 eleven, kedai runjit, pemborong in the whole Kota Kinabalu and I failed to get myself 1kg of sugar. I heard about the lacking of sugar about 2 months ago, but I did not have any problem getting one then, so I thought we do not have that problem in Sabah. Obviously I had made a mistake. I should have bought 2 packages then. Not that I ran out of sugar, but I am RUNNING out of sugar... what's in the market now is all brown sugar. Knowledge told me brown sugar in fact is better and healthier than white sugar. But my taste sense told me I like white sugar bettter. There's this one shop near where I am staying said I might be able to get some this week. So, I guess i will wait for a little more while. Otherwise, I will get some brown sugar instead. I told my parents about that and to my suprise, my mom still have 2 to 3 kg of sugar standing by. That's my mom. She always have extra stock at home for EVERYTHING except fresh food. That's something I do need to learn from her.

So yes... I met a few friends for the past few days and most of them said I gained weight. Well, I disagree with them. I think I am gaining FAT instead of WEIGHT. If you know what I mean... Mom said it's all because I eat my own cooking and that's the reason why. hahaha... well, no complain. I suffer less stress and eat healthily... I guess those are the main cause of my 'fatness'.

I play bass guitar for my church last Sunday. I felt so...'belonging' and I felt good about it. To be able to praise and worship God with guitar/ bass guitar is really something so great, don't you think so?
