1.Sandal
2.Foreign cash,2 or a day ahead.
3.Winter cloth if needed
4.Power adapter
5.Ask hotel to provide taxi ,in case u would.
Not first trip , but always last minutes preparation.Padan muka again to me.
Arrived here on my birthday.Great.My first birthday out side Malaysia.Few people wished me.Na,sisters,parent and surprizingly my boss.Yeah the one that angry with me last week.
Smell 'good' here.He he.Their smelllah.I didn't ask Hotel to provide transport from airport. So a lot af ulat try to get me. Buat muka bodo and try to look at taxi counter.But one of the ulat told me that there is prepaid taxi.He suggest me pay at counter and he will bring me to location. OK, fine ,at least got some receipt to claim. But in Hyderabad, all of them was taxi sapu actually.But good way to pay. But i am Okey with it. And this driver bring me to his car. Do you still remember car that they use in Indian movie in 70's 80's? Police,thief,good people,bad people use the same car. Haa, that car lah! Lepas tu kalau ada adegan kejar mengejar ada bunyi "Sreeettt, sreeettt". If i not mistaken, they call it Ambassador. Cool. The driver nama was Farhan. He also mention that he could provided transportation in town if i needed. Take his phone number in case i need him later.
Today is India Republic day, which is refer to National day i guess. A lot of shop closed.Letihnya. I had my birthday dinner at Pizza Hut.Alone. After finished dinner, i try to walk around, and incidently try to talk a local asking where could i get sandal. When i told him that i am from Malaysia, suddenly he say "Apa kabar?" His name was Sanjay.He just come back from Bintulu 2 months back. Working in oil and gas field.2 years in Malaysia. Been to Sabah,Sarawak, Terengganu,Melaka. We walking and talking about Malaysian,career thing and others. After this he will go to Middle East for the next project. Now he was on leave back to his hometown here while waiting to get his visa approval. Memang kebetulan kan? Tengok mamat nih ,sempoi jek.
Anyway i still planning what i am going to do tomorrow.Sleep?
Setiap kali aku balik kampung naik bas, aku akan parking superbike Honda EX5 aku kat parking moto Pudu Raya. Parking bayar sehari RM1.50 sahaja.Parking moto atas Pudu raya tu, aku dah start parking sejak dari student lagi.Dah menjangkau 8 tahun, dan aku masih setia dengan Pudu Raya terchinta.
Tiket bas pergi balik dalam RM46 dua hala sahaja. Biasanya akunaik bas Transnasional. Sebab mereka ni lebih teratur. Bas lain OK gak, tapi aku tak suka dengan ulat-ulat depan kaunter. Lagi lah dengan tukang tunjuk tempat duduk. Sebab ada antara mereka ni tak begitu bersopan santun, main jerit ikut suka saja. Biasanya aku akan ambil tiket dengan ulat kalau dah terdesak sangatlah.
Kalau dalam bas,sepanjang perjalanan aku akan cuba tidur dengan enaknya. Kadang-kadang aku satu bas dengan kawan-kawan lama aku.Yang kadang-kadang tu, memang kitaorang dah tak cam dah. Tapi biasanye aku akan ambil kesempatan bertegur sapa. Yelah, aku balik kampung bukan selalu pun. Raya memang susah gak nak jumpa kawan-kawan.Minggu lepas aku balik untuk selesaikan beberapa urusan.
"Zu bila boleh balik? Minggu ni boleh? Ni business baikkk punyaa* !!!" desak Abah aku.Maka balik lah aku ke kampung secara 'terkejut'. (*ditokok tambah bagi memeriahkan keadaan)
"Why so suddenly? Pakistan project finish aaa? U think this ur father company aaa*?" Tanya Boss aku bila aku cakap urgent leave menerusi talian mobil. (*ditokok tambah bagi memeriahkan lagi keadaan).
"Have to lah, i already done Pakistan one, customer very-very satisfied (goreng). Lagipun i not standby this week" jawab aku, dengan suara buat-buat konfident,sambil pejam mata.
On the phone conversation at 6.40pm. PM=Project Manager
PM : Where are you?
Me : Still at site. Why?
PM : Tonight all activity will be cancel.
Me : What da hell!!! Are you crazy. I have to finish this, only one more activity!
PM : Do you know what happen just now?
Me : What ???
PM : Our x-PM ,Benazir just got killed at Rawalpindi(15 km away).Situation is very danger.I need you to go back to your hotel as soon as possible.And try to get tomorrow flight.Try to contact Lim too.
Me : ...(speechless)
No wonder all foreign engineer next to me keep talking about getting a flight ticket.
To all muslim, Al-Fatihah to Benazir. Peace. Prey for my safe journey home.
Again transit at BKK. Flight to KUL will be 0835 in the morning. Tired.
I did start to buy some winter cloth. Because it really cold for me. Base on Yahoo! Weather , today Islamabad temperature High: 14 Celcius Low:6 Celcius. And it just beginning of winter. Local Pakistani told me that it will be damn cool then this on January. But no snow in Islamabad. Some office already put heater to keep us warm. To Kampung boy like me + study at local varsity , it was excited lah. Bernafas pun keluar wap. Memang Jakun.
Thing not go smooth for my project. I have to push them, but since i not interested to push the customer. I always ask Project Manager to push them. But that normal for my career field.
Hope i could go home , naik moto , berenti bawah flyover sbb hujan and makan mee goreng mamak + telur mata . Or attached to another project. :P boring gila.
