Blessing...

I had a very bad night last night. I was so tired and exhausted after what happen to me since last Saturday and that I thought of going to bed right after I came back from the Bible seminar last night. 5 minutes after I entered into my apartment, I laid on bed. Wanted to sleep. As my mind turned out, my physical body was waking me and I can sense that I am turning left and right and feeling discomfort for a long time until I woke up. I suspected it was because of heat, but I couldn't be sure because my mind has turned off then. I couldn't believe that I woke up about 5 times last night and it has made me feeling like a zombi today. I have no choice, but to wake up on time today to go to work (although at the end, I was late) because my clerk has not been at work since Tuesday. She was being admitted to hospital. While I was on my way to work, my partner text me to tell me that one of our client was asking me to join them for breakfast. I was feeling reluctant, but... I was not given much choice. On my way to my office to drop my belonging, I saw my clerk. She came in to work today.

Of all these things that happen, I ponder this morning... are all these a blessing...!!!

True enough, I believe it is STILL a blessing to me. At least, since Saturday, money in my pocket has increased rather than decreased. My friend and her husband has blessed me a lot. They paid for fuels, for food, for trips, for every single things that we spent on. And I got myself a one day trip to and fro Island. It's nice and relaxing... and I am so BLESSED!!!!

HOLIDAY?

A month ago, a friend from Mauritius emailed me and told me that she and her husband will bring 2 children and visit me at Kota Kinabalu on 07.04.2007. So I took 2 days off, i.e. 09.04.2007 and 10.04.2007. However, since her husband and her need to work on 09.04.2007, I also went back to office and did some work.
On the 08.04.2007, together with a friend, we went to visit a Wild Life Center at Lok Kawi and it's so fun to saw the children enjoying themselves seeing all sorts of animals including Orang Utan.

On the 10.04.2007, I took a day off and went to Manukan Island with my friend and her 2 children while her husband went to Taipei for work. I cannot remember when was the last time I had a HOLIDAY. I called this as a holiday rather than a rest. It's truely wonderful to have a holiday at the Tanjung Aru Beach Hotel and also the island. I had lots of fun.

The most fun thing is that, they are speaking in French especially the little one. I remember meeting the girl when she was 1 1/2 years old when I visited Mauritius in year 2002. Even then, she followed me everywhere I go and she keeps on talking to me in French. I am so that that they came and visited me and now, the girl speaks English too. They are so wonderful and seeing them enjoying themselves so much with the WATER, it's just fun.

I cannot believe that I had good time at the hotel too yesterday evening. I even manage to took some pictures. It's like a vacation although it's short. I get to enjoy the hotel facilities, etc. etc. like I was staying there and I shall say, their service is generally good. At least my friend didn't make a lot of complain about the service and attitudes of the workers there in the hotel.

However, what they complain mostly are the cleanliness of the toilet and also the the service provided by one particular restaurant. I was shock last night when we decided to brough them to this restaurant which we thought it should be good for foreigner. As my friend was choosing the food, i.e. what to eat and the way of cooking it, this captain sort of too LAZY to explain things to her and EXPECT her to understand all the terms and things in Malaysia and that has caused a wrong dish being ORDERED. My friend was telling her that she wanted prawn that cook with how the dish the other table was having and without asking or clarifying or even explaining things to her, the captain just placed an order and when we do not want that particular of dish, she said they cannot change, etc. etc. The service is BAD and that will be the first and last time I will bring my friends there.

Apart from that, I really had fun.

An Incident!!

I was with 2 friends at Coffee Bean last night and chatting and I cannot remember how does the conversation went all the way to my time in England. We then talked about my bad experiences when I first studied law, the people I met that intimidated me, the corrupted programme co-ordinator, etc. etc.

I woke up this morning, on my way to office and my mind suddenly wander on things and when my car turned into the road where I saw an accident months ago, my mind thought of the bondages or bad experience the driver might be having now. He might be still suffering from the fear of the incident. When I thought of that, I suddenly wonder what's the worse experience that will haunt me every now and then. Some of you would have know... it's not anything to do with relationship or anything about my failure in my exams, etc. But it is how I lost all my belonging when I cargo 2 big boxes back from England one month prior of my departure. While I was still thinking like, "I should have taken the cargos in Kuala Lumpur". I am so sure that this Forwarding company just refuse to ship my things back for me as the company in England has wound up. But as a forwarding company here in Malaysia, they should have told me honestly, like, they are not willing to ship the things to Sabah. If I still insist, I would need to pay. But they did not. They just told me that it's dropped into the sea. I have written so many letters and even called them up to clarify things with them, but they were not helpful at all and since then, this forwarding company is blacklisted in my list and the list of all my friends.

While my mind still wandering around while I was on this road where the man were killed months ago, I saw a truck... and low and behold, it's that forwarding company that lossed all my belonging. It's SUXXLIXXCK. I looked at the register address at their trust and it's at Inanam.

What an experience this morning. The more I hate them, the more it reminds me aboutthem. It's a painful experienced and it has changed my perception of life and even living. What a terrible company...

A friend called me last night just to ask me what's my purpose of life and she did mentioned about how to become a person pleasing to God, etc. And while we were talking about how a lawyer can edify others, I just think that sometimes, people just happen to be around us to give us PAIN and SUFFERING... and this SUXXLIXXCK is certainly has caused much pain and suffering then a blessing. With their kind of service, how can they call themselves as providing SERVICES to HELP? They are not. At least, they have destroyed mine.

Hai... Not that I do not want to put things aside. It just came back to haunt me this morning... I still think they can do BETTER than what they have done.
