“Mom’s Always A Gem”

I had an interesting conversation with mom the other day. Compared to my dad, topics that I discussed with her is much more on the softer side of a guy. I think you got what I mean. I just don’t think that my dad would be a suitable person to talk about lovey dovey stuffs or even about my personal stuffs. He’s a very annoying person.

I was helping her in the kitchen, preparing dinner :

“Is it possible to fall in love with or have a love relationship with two different people at the same time?”

“I guess it is possible”

“Why you say so?”

“I’m not an expert or somebody who have vast of experience in these sorts of thing but for me personally when it comes to loving somebody there can’t be only one answer to it. I mean why not possible? Okay, in some aspect people might see that it is wrong to do so but you can’t lie to yourself and tell yourself that you’re not feeling that. You got what I mean?”

“Not really, it’s wrong but you still can have it? I mean still can have that feeling is that what you mean?”

“Well, sort of. It is still love in a sense. Even a failed relationship is still considered love and same goes to the successful one just that it is a different kind of love. Love can’t be only one. That’s how I personally feel”

“Wah .. You talk like the angel of love la ma!”

She gave me a smile ..

“Look who’s talking”

“I will never talk to dad about something like this you know”

“I bet you won’t”

“He’s one of the most freaking annoying living creatures in this world. I wonder why you marry him in the first place. If I’m you, I would certainly not marry that kind of person”

“Like I said, the answer to love is not one”

 

Mom got me there …

I was having a descent conversation with my dad yesterday after dinner. It’s been a while since we last had our long hours chat about everything and nothing at the same time. I think it’s about time that we put our differences aside and just chat like we used to do last time, like we used to, like friends.

“So, what’s in for 2007?”

“You tell me what’s in for me”

“You didn’t carve any resolutions for this year?”

“I did. A lot actually. Time will tell wether it will go on smoothly or not”

He gave me a funny look ..

“Why is that?”

“I’m still unemployed. No work, no money no talk ma .. ”

“You sounds like you’re so frustrated. So not like you. Why? Giving up?”

“No la. It’s really hard to land a job here eh .. Not much”

It’s actually very true indeed. Here job opportunities doesn’t come easy. That’s why people here don’t change job everytime like in KL. In KL you can go job hopping every year. There’s a massive amount of opportunities, depends on if you want to do it or not.

“It’s true, I mean compared to KL here is very much limited but think about the risk that you have to take. In terms of expenses, you have to pay for rent, transportation and food not to mention your shopping and jalan-jalan”

I gave him a smile

“Yea .. true also. Guess better off here for a start”

Life in KL was not to say not great but the money is great also. I mean in terms of how much you have to fork out every freaking day. My house rent last time was RM 215, transportation will take at least RM 100 monthly, my sister’s monthly allowence RM 100. That’s like half of my salary is gone. Owh ya .. food and leisure is not yet counted. How la? Die lor ..

“Remember to pass me your resume tomorrow. The one I asked you to send out”

“I already did la. It’s in your bag”

My dad has been trying to keep me in Bintulu. He said :

“I want the whole family to be based in Bintulu. I want all of my children to work here”

I don’t really like the idea but bagi muka la ..

Then out of a sudden ..

“How many girlfriend have you had?”

“What’s that for?”

“Just asking”

“Much more than yours for sure”

“How sure are you? I’m quite popular in college you know”

That statement tickled me badly that I burst into laughter.

“You’re funny. Come on, stop all that bullshit la”

“Really .. I’m not bullshitting you eh

“Yearr rite .. Like mom never told me about you”

“She’s just being jealous”

“Wait till I tell mom”

“Tell la ..”

Dad gave me his wicked smile. The I said :

“Eh .. I’m quite popular too in school eh. Don’t underestimate me”

“I know, your PK HEM told me last time”

“Wah .. she told you ah? Shit .. I know she will start with this ”

Last time we got this discipline teacher which we kinda hate, besides Rambo. She’s a fuckin bitch! Being a regular guest to her office I quite know how the procedure will go. She will always start with this sentence :

“Archibald, now you’re so famous. Everyone is talking about you. You’re just like a superstar”

It’s sarcastic. I really hate her for that. Plus she got this policy of having kids every freaking year. I never met anyone who is so into “menyahut seruan kerajaan menambahkan bilangan penduduk Malaysia“.

Ok back to the conversation

“Yup. She told me that”

“@#$%$%^”

“You know what, I was your age when I marry your mom”

“That’s because you got nothing else to do”

“Who say so?”

“Me”

My dad was 25 when he got married. My mom was 24 back then. It’s so much easier to settle down that time. I guess that’s the differences between now and then. That time if you got a job can afford to buy a house, can marry and be happy. Now, no money no talk. Nobody wants to marry you if you’re only paid RM 1K plus per month.

“It’s easier to settle down those days. Not that we have nothing to do. That time it was about getting on with life and start another life and continuing the life cycle. Nowadays if you only have RM 5K, you can’t get married. It’s not enough. Well, you take it slow la”

“Who says I’m getting married anytime soon?”

“Not meh? I tot you always bring girlfriends back home”

“Ya ya ya .. every girl that I brought home, answered my cellphone when you called is my girlfriend la

“Not meh?”

“@#$%! Even the voice mailbox operator is my girlfriend according to you”

“Aiseh .. why so mad la? Joking only”

“Thank you so much”

At the end of the conversation :

“Well, now what you need to do is plan your work and work your plan”

sarcastically …

“Wow, that’s so convincing!”

Well, at least we get along well. Eventhough there are some times that I really can’t stand him and his annoying stinking brain. Guess we’re so much alike in a sense. Like father like son.

Cheers,

It’s 4:00 AM. I was suddenly awake by the sound of the heavy downpour. It has been quite a hot day today. Rather I don’t know what drove me to be up and write this post. I went to off to bed quite early today. Guess that explains why. I’ve been fighting with this heavy flu for the past few days. My God I hate flu.

As I’m writing this, I just feel like writing a song actually. I don’t know why. Lately the thought of being with somebody lingers. Missing somebody? I don’t know but I guess so. It’s like these I kept on thinking about it at every corner of my mind. Every simple things like every single simple hi or hello, every little sms that, every morning call, going through those sometimes just make me smile or laugh. Call me crazy then .. La la la la

School has started. So, for now I’ll be the maid of the house, doing household chores, cleaning, cooking and doing laundry. It has been a week into 2007 and here I am, still without a job. I’ve sent out as many resume as I can last week and just hope that something will crop up within the next few weeks. For the time being I’m just enjoying my life back at home.

Yesterday was my Carol’s birthday, my cute little two year old niece. It was too bad that I don’t have a camera. If not I’d post the all the pictures here. We had decent meals. We had some barbecued fish, chicken wings and pork. Well, that’s we Iban always do. Barbecue, barbecue and more barbecues. It has been a way of life I guess. And of course yes, the “tuak”, our very own rice wine which is a must

I’m thinking hard about how to achieve those resolutions that I’ve put up for myself. It’s realistic, why not? What so hard about it? I was actually grumbling about not many vacancies post on classifieds these past few days and Sandra actually told me “it’s only the 5th day into new year”. I guess that was to make me feel better about the whole thing. At the moment, we’re on the same boat.

I’m thinking of going for a trip somewhere near in February or early March. I told Sandra and AmoiDewa that I might be landing in KK that time. I guess we’ll have to see how the situation goes. It has been a while since my last visit to KK though. All of my XS-Nemesis gang members are there. XS-Nemesis is actually a name that we created for the accounting students during our matriculation days. I missed those times. It is one of the best days of my life. People come and go but the memories that we had together is what we will treasure for the rest of our life.

“Same Old Story”

I’ve been thinking about moving for quite a long time I guess. So, I took time away from my old blogger site. Trying to put things up here. It’s a little bit hard at first because I actually have switched to the new blogger and with that I can’t transfer the old blog here. Well what to do? Here we are, the new blog. How I will miss the old one. But I think I’m moving for the better of it. I mean like what drumsticks said, It’s very much user friendly this way. Well, I’ll be updating you guys soon enough. New year, new blog and hopefully not then same old brand new me though. All the best for 2007!

Sorry guys for the “absence” of new posts in this blog. Partly because I was having too much fun at home being lazy. It’s like one week, wow .. I managed to stay away from the internet for that long. Congrats .. Before anything else, I would like to wish all of you A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It goes really fast isn’t it? Wow .. Welcome “2007″

I’ve made a list of what I want to achieve this year. Sometyhing realistically can be achieved. Not so posh. I know la it’s a very boring thing that when it comes to new people will talk about resolutions, resolutions and resolutions. All types of it .. brought forward resolution also got. As for me :

1. Get a decent job - Doesn’t have to be a 5 digit salary, as long as I’m happy and will benefit something from it. Hotel and tourism is what I’m actually looking for. I didn’t get the job that I interviewed for. I guess so, since they didn’t even call me. So I considered myself, out of the candidates. Well, I’ll keep on trying and hopefully a new year will bring me a new hope and a new job.

2. A driving license - I know it’s so not cool that I don’t have a driving license at the age of 24! And next year I’ll be 25. I’ve been driving without a license since my first year of uni life. That has been 5 years now. This is a confession .. ha ha ha. I got a ticket that I haven’t clear yet. It’s time for me to get a license. But like Lawrence said, with license there will be a challenge. You’ll be pressured to buy a car.

3. Keep on blogging - Do I have to elaborate this?

4. Save some money - Extra income is needed for me to pay off my credits (555 notebook). The money is also needed for my long awaited trip to Korea which tentatively will be in the Spring of 2008. Let’s see how it goes. The money is also needed for me to renew my passport. It’s been a while. Ha ha ha …

There you go guys. Nothing posh, nothing extravagant .. just an ordinary me. Sometimes the ordinary is not so ordinary. A life less Ordinary ..

Cheers,

Cibol

Merry Christmas and A happy New Year.
