Johor Port Authority.. I am leaving..

Guys, we have 2 days left to gone through the fasting month. Yesterday, I was eagerly and excitedly urged ewa to break fasting at Jusco, Permas Jaya. Perhaps, it’s really challenging when we had accidentally pass the junction we supposed to enter. We caught in a lousy jam area where none of them are considering each other. Is this what they learnt after fasting the whole day? The parking entrance was really confusing as there was other area that using sign and colours which looks similar with Jusco entrance. Again, we had to make one round turn to be at the exact place. And guess what? As we entering the parking lots.. We both just could not covered our shocking feeling when the parking lot only being occupied by several cars… Aisey.. best nyer kalu Mid Valley, Gardens, One Utama, Pavillion, Bukit Bintang, Lot 10 macam ni.

We decided to have our dinner at KFC.. Commercial fast food place. Again, the same things happen. Only 5 tables were sited. After couple minutes, the half of it was fully sited. It seems like we want to have grand shopping here. Slowly take a visit from store to store and finally to the Jusco.. Aisey!! The most boring Jusco in the world.. Only located in 1 floor, all department store are segregate by one tiny walking path.. Erm.. so damn boring and frustrating.. No wonder, there isn’t any signboard promoting the place. Erm.. today, I am trying by hard remember the way to Senibong before left from here. The views offer here are more likely at Muara, Port Klang or Tanjung Piai or KUKUP.. view of port..

Even though the foods do not taste so good and fresh, I just want to feel like in my own place. Kind of phsyco right? Let see in Pokok Kelapa area.. How does it taste? In JPA, I successfully build up group of newcomers consist of Ezat, Zahari, Norzie, Azron, Kamariah and Tuan Rahman. Tuan Rahman really help me on lodging matters when no one are able to assist me on it. Norzie on JPA culture, Ezat on making me calm and steady, Ri makes me enjoying the sadness of being lonely and Kamariah with her nonstop eating style and making my life alive each day. Dear Azron, the one and only guy who always asked me which one is the person whenever he sent a letter at my department.

And few days back, I got to know one guy via JPA email.. hahaha.. erm.. He is quite friendly and Bugise. At least got friend to talk with through this mail chatting. Thanks for giving hand and assistance guys.. and the new guy named Syahkhairul.. hahaha.. I’ve state your name, means no turning back.. Do us part.. Do not lost contact. Faizal was to naïve to talk.. He didn’t talk much and most of the time he would prefer to loiter (lepak) at LIBRARY. Next, Encik Khalid.. the only words come out his mouth each morning was “Morning”. Hakim, used to claim that he was foreigner and breaks the stay air by asking whether I will be going out for lunch during lunch hour. Din, the first man in the department I used to urge in order to fix my quarters. Fida (Rafidah), erm.. reminds me of my friend. Very energetic person. I just regret since I do not have more time to corporate with her as a team. Puan Shasha, never met her since the orientation week. We’ve got few minutes to chat pertaining to my resignation letter.(today).

Liza, would be a pleasant girl whom always there thinking of ways to cheer me up. At last, she insists me to plug in my PC. It do help me girl! Suhanapi (Pi) seems to be serious guy and good in IT. I could not recall the other guy coz he seems not too friendly but I assumed that he is caring person. Next, is wawa person whom usually being misunderstood by Norzie as our friend (Norazwa). She had unpleasant face but very helpful. Sometimes moods. Hahaha.. Encik Khairi, CC helps me on parking and few admin forms. Mona leza.. person I first known when I touch down JPA. She can be considered my junior but my senior in JPA. Haahha.. UM students.. It’s like UM Alumni when she, GM and few more top management comes from University of Malaya. Erm, forgot to mention Kak Ana, the orientation leader, Kak Norini (librarian who lend me her password when I need to surf the net), Kak Mas (counter), Makcik cleaner.. She knew me resigning before Hakim… It do surprise me.. Gossip makcik! Kak Ayu, never chat longer.. Maybe the stay air make me felt uncomfortable with her.. Looks too serious.

Next, at last but not least… finance department. Erm.. Pak Teh, thanks for the stationeries, Kak Zainon for the medical checkup slip but I tend not to waste JPA money by making the medical checkup at Penawar. I will make mine at Govt hospital or at Pusrawi, KL. Kak Nita(Hasnita) the most challenging experience in having her signature during orientation week. She was ok but, but there is one girl interrupting the event. I think she wanted to catch our intention on her.. but she doing it not in a proper way.. How come you trying to make jokes or pulling people legs.. or whatever similar meaning to it by asking some of the newcomers who seems to carry Officer title, by right anyone won’t deserve to be humiliate by asking them to kiss the bottom of your foot! We are not serving you as your slave anyway. Be more cautions and have more humanity touch in your heart.

Now, I was being appointed to be Admin Officer in IIUM under Center for Postgraduate Studies. Who ever need my assistance, do not hesitate to contact me. Nice to be in Johore, at least if one day people ask me ‘bout Johore especially on port matters, I do have ideas on it.. With head held high, I was too proud to announce myself JOHOREAN. Hahaha… I will bring along all the sweet and sweat memories of being a family of JPA.

Being far for 2 weeks at Pasir Gudang, Johor

15 September 2009
I’m still sitting at the rejected furniture which hardly to define how uncomfortable I am with this place. Being assigned to a new PC a little bit brighten my day. Today, I was shocked by good news saying that I had passed my PTD examinations after 9 times sitting the examination. However, I won’t dare not to take the opportunity given by IIUM to be part of theirs. I really hope I could improve my conversation in English. I can speak but I have walls confine me. I have lack of confident. People might see I am not too bad but I just can’t help myself to be ashame of my diction. I am so much not me if you met me personally. Even, my immediate boss, Puan Shasha seems not having much confident on me when she tend to ask me whether I can converse in English.
I have to prepare and work hard on it. I want to be a PTD.. MCS!! Malaysian Civil Service. I don’t know whether I am capable enough for this.. But it is my target since I was young… to be government servant. Currently, I was 1 month old at Johor Port Authority.. Try to adjusting myself with government culture. What I can say, I was stunned with the culture honestly.. They seem to be over welcome… I was asked to shake hand and kiss her hand during orientation week. And for me it is not a big deal to me. However, after the orientation, this women approached me and asking me if I am willing to kiss her “tapak kaki” if I am still seeking for people signature. Do I look that stupid? How could they attempt people like that?
After 2 weeks buried myself praying for HIS mighty to guide me and provide me patient dealing with such people in the organization, I was called by IIUM. It was a great opportunity which I would not let it pass. Now, ever since I noticed, I still lost in my own desk… isolated from others. Experience in people place really taught me everything.. Everywhere I go, only HE is the best place for me to claim everything, expressing every single sadness and loneliness.
Till now and then, I kept on searching for place to be better Muslim than me now. I am so glad to be born as Muslim. And I will explained how HE guide me from lost and sometimes arguing of HIS doing till HE then guide me and HE make it comes true of what I am praying for. I don’t dare of losing HIS attention and I will try to do my best for HIM. HE always there and I am thankful for giving me such honor, trusting me. Dear Allah, how I am thankful for your existence and guidance.
