masa nak dtg dulu, masa kat airport nak check in bagagge, aku bawa byk barang sehingga terlebih berat... punya lah bermasalah sbb nak pack and repack brg2... and separuh drp brg aku hantar guna forwarder... ingat kan masalah excess bagagge tu berakhir kat situ.... but hell no! sepanjang hari aku berpenat lelah menguruskan nyer... (hehehe... eventhough cuma sehingga jam 1 tgh hari... tp kepenatan yg ditanggung memakan masa sehari) so aku consider memenatkan badan sehari suntuk...
jam 9.30pg dah gerak ngan MT ke airport... dia kata kebetulan dia nak hantar office mate, yg nak balik ke Mesir, ke airport jam 10pg... blh ler dia bawak aku ke kargo utk ambil brg2 tu... aku tiba dia kargo lebih kurang jam 10pg... mula2 beratur utk ambil shipment device... dah tu beratur utk byr for shipment... RM65... then dia kata utk ambil barang kena dpt clearance drp kastam... disinilah proses2 yg memenatkan bermula....
Aku dgn tak tahu apa2 dan selamba nyer pergi ke kaunter kastam dan serahkan segala dokumen yg ada... tergelak pegawai yg kat kaunter tu n dia kata kena isi form. Dia jerit pada sorang nih utk bg tahu apa maksud dia in detail. Mamat tu citer yg aku patut nyer isi form, bg mengelakkan masalah dia menyruh aku mengambil sorang 'clearance agent', yg ramai ada kat dlm satu bilik ni... aku pon beranya pada sorang mamat lain kat dlm bilik tu samada blh bantu aku... sorang tu kata ya, but kena lah bayar RM150 utk company dia, RM10 utk kastam labour charge and RM10-RM20 utk storage charge... hitung cepat mahu dekat RM200 kena nih... nak taknak... terpaksa lah aku bersetuju sbb rasa nyer semua org pon mcm tu kot... lalu aku pon menyerahkan semua dokumen yg ada pd aku pada my clarance agent, Mohamed Gamal namanyer (org mesir kot).
Agent tu memulakan keje nyer, dgn isi borang dan serahkan borang. Dia kata mungkin ada masalah skit ak keluarkan barang jika apa yg ada dlm kotak tu buku dan makanan, punca nyer sbb bg kedua2 brgn nih sepatutnyer kena mintak kebenaran dr health ministry dan publication minitry. but he said insyaAllah he will try to get the things out... aku menekor saja ke mana dia pergi maklumlah takut jugak kalau dia menghilang kan diri terus, tak keluar brg aku sbb semua dokumenada pd dia. Sampai satu masa dia kata aku tak perlu ikut dia sbb dia nak masuk ke dlm tpt kastam dan security.
Jam dah hampir ke pukul 11 (sejam dah kat situ), dah tak tahu ke mana agent aku pergi... tak nampak dah. MT dah nampak tak larat tunggu. tiba2 katanya dia dpt sms yg kawan satu office dia memerlukan kereta. so dia terpaksa balik. aku ok ajer lah... aku rasa blh usaha cari teksi (walaupon mmg kat situ jauh dr city centre tp rasanyer kalau jalan skit blh kot). so MT pon balik. jam 11.
Jam dah pkl 11.30am, aku dah nampak agent aku. dia kata dia dah jumpa brg aku. now dia memerlukan pegawai td mengesahkan brg tersebut blh dikeluarkan. tp dlm proses nak dpt tandatangan tu habis jugak lah 1 jam... dlm tempoh 1 jam tu aku dpt saksikan gelagat pegawai kat situ. setelah masuk zohor, masing2 berhenti buat keje sbb nak mula sembahyang zohor. setelah solat aku dpt tandatangan tu, dah la plak security kata dia tak nak keje (tak tahu apa punca). agent2 kat situ mulalah merayu... oklah dipendekkan citer jam 12.50... aku pon dpt brg aku dan settlekan semua payment.
Setelah dah settle, aku cuba call MT utk ambil aku semula (guna tel agent) kebetulan dah ada kete semula, so dia suruh tunggu ajer kat situ. sementara tunggu MT aku terfikir, adakah berbaloi semua usaha aku nih bg mengambil brg nih. Keseluruhan nyer aku membelanjakan lebih RM700 bg penghantaran:
- kos penghataran RM506
- kos membungkus (wrap dgn plastik) RM 7
- kos agent RM150
- kos pengeluaran brg dr kargo RM 65
- kos kastam RM 24
- tips pd agent (nih aku bg xde resit) RM 30
--------
RM782
======
apa yg ada dlm kotak tu (aku belum buka lagi tp seingat aku lah)?
- buku utk CFA (photocopy version) RM170
- kasut sukan dgn beg kasut (dah buruk) RM40
- kuah kacang segera RM30
- kicap 2 botol RM4
- 5 bendera malaysia (mini) RM5
- 20 hanger RM10
- lain2 perencah/bahan makanan RM50 (nih termasuk rempah kari, rempah buat rendang dinding, rempah2 lain... )
- kain pelikat RM20
- lain2 brg RM50 (max)
nilai brg yg dihantar = RM379
hehehe... tak sampai separuh dr kos penghataran.... berbaloi ker??? hahahahaha :) anyway, akan claim ngan company... harap2 dia bayar penuh (kecuali tips) semua belanja excess bagagge aku nih... insyaAllah....
------------------------------
so next time....bg sesapa yg nak pindah brg / hantar brg ke Qatar or the whole middle east and south asia (since kebanyakan worker paki and ind i assume kat tpt2 nih pon mcm nih) make sure buat delivery door to door or hantar ajer guna fedex or D h L or bayar ajer extra luggage charge pastu claim... the experience was not really worth at all...

Bila zal masuk dapur...
(i know ada 2 title aku tak tulis lagi citer... tp macam tak der mood nak tulis benda2 lama tu... nanti lah aku buat segmen FAQ - yerlah menjawab soalan2 yg org selalu tanya- so nih nak tulis benda baru berlaku pagi tadi)
dah genap seminggu aku dah kat sini... bagi celebrate skit terasa plak nak memasak... hehehe... bukan lah aku nih pandai sgt masak... but sbb dah craving sgt nak makan masakan melayu, so aku pon berangan2 nak masuk ler ke dapur... antara sbb lain, terasa jugak nak belanja MT yg selalu membantu aku kat sini... tp tak blh ler nak belanja dia kat kedai2 mewah... yelah disebabkan aku kena jugak lah jaga budget, bulan2 pertama ni kena control skit kan... so i've decided to cook n ajak gak kawan MT (hereafter MM).
--------------------------
character update:
MM nih mamat singaporean, dah kawin dah anak 2 kot... dia dah lama kat D0ha nih.. setahun kot. tp anak bini dia tinggalkan kat S'pore... yer lah dah rezeki kat sini... dia dok jauh skit dr umah MT tp kawan ngan MT sbb sama2 utilise a same gym.
--------------------------
so pepagi td ajak lah MT ke kedai... but only after solat Jumaat baru ke supermarket... pergi ke Lulu Hypermarket... besar tpt nih mcm supermarket kat Malaysia, G!ant. masa awal2 tak lah ramai sgt... but dlm tempoh sejam.. dah sesak2 dah tpt tu... ngan pak2 arab yg kurang etika masa membawa troli sama ajer ngan mamat ind and paki... sambil2 tgk2 tpt tu berkira2 lah apa ler nak masak... sekejap ajer dah buat keputusan.... aku nak masak tomyam ayam, ayam goreng madu, sayur campur dan telur bungkus... senang2 ajerkan.. but masakan melayu ke nih ke thai... hehehe tak kisah lah... hmmm.... pastu teringat kan dulu masa kat KL housemate ada mencuba2 buat custard jagung... so nak mencuba lah buat custard jagung as dessert....
so menolak lah troli dari satu lorong ke satu lorong.... first cari bahan2 nak buat tomyam... nak cari serai, limau purut, daun limau purut, halia... sbb bahan2 nih lah yg susah skit nak cari kan... but kata MT, Lulu nih ada byk jual bahan2 utk masakan asean... so thats y lah dia bawak ke situ.... setelah berjalan2 terjumpa lah seplastik 1kg daun limau purut.. RM60... then nampak sebungkus 1kg serai... RM55.... wow... alamak tak jadi lah nak buat tomyam... baik g makan kat Marriot kalau begini mahalnyer (btw, bukannyer kat Marriot ada tomyam... tp harga buffet sorang kat Marriot pon baru RM105)... tp dalam belek2 dekat2 area serai tu terjumpa seikat serai (ada 3 batang), halia and daun limau purut dalam satu plastik... dia tulis..."thai tomyam RM6.50" hehehehe.. camner out of nowhere ada benda nih... belek punya belek.. ada 6 set ajer thai tomyam ingredient tu... ok ler... i ambil satu... then nampak limau purut... i beli 3 biji....
so seterusnya g mencari bahan2 lain... utk sayur campur, ayam seekor(RM10 sekilo) dan custard and jagung dlm tin.... walla.... cukup semua nyer... n masa menuju ke cashier... wow.. panjang nyer beratur... ok.. tunggu ajerlah kan... biasa lah bulan Ramadhan org2 suka memasak kat umah... sama mcm kat M'sia kan... but i can see... nampaknyer 80% dari yg beratur semuanyer lelaki... org pompuan kat sini tak shopping ker??? tp beratur kat sini bukannyer perkara yg blh pandang mudah... sbb pak arab nih potong q mcm dia potong q masa memandu kereta... pakai masuk ajer..... hmmm.... in total ada lah RM70 utk bhn2 tu....
After tu terus ajer lah balik... sampai umah baru jam 2.. rehat2 kejap... then masak... 5.30pm.. semua siap.... hasil nyer....

(pic blm download... kejap yer ada problem lak blogger nih)
tp custard tu tak menjadi... reason sbb terlebih taruh susu kot... so custard tu tak jd keras.... 1 lg sbb MT terlupa yg gula kat umah dia dah habis.... so tawar habis lah custard tu.... but lain2 masakan licin!!! hehehe perfecto... hahaha (puji diri sendiri, ye lah korang tak rasa... cam ner nak puji kan... hehehe)
so kepada sesapa nak share resipi bg tahulah yer... blh gak try masak benda lain... n pada my housemate... camner ek nak masak lemak cili padi yg selalu ur sis buat tu ek??? blh share recipe tak??

Iftar... and Sahur...
Kebetulan setelah beberapa hari jejak kaki kat sini Ramadhan pon menjelma... dlm tak tahu tempat makan n jalan2 kat sini, kena lah mencari sendiri. Tapi lucky me, hari pertama berpuasa (kebetulan hari minggu) MT ada bawak berbuka puasa... tapi hari2 lain buka puasa sorang ajer...
Puasa kedua - Ahad (hari kerja kat sini)
bersahur dengan roti taruh tuna and baked beans...
berbuka dengan roti taruh tuna and baked beans... (leftover bersahur...)
lepas terawikh (ada masjid dalam hospital abt 50 meters from apt nih) jalan2 sekitar hospital tu... according to my colleague ada cafetaria... setelah berjalan about 20 mins... i couldn't find that cafetaria... so dengan hampa balik ajer lah ke rumah... tido dlm kelaparan ajer...
Puasa ketiga - Isnin
bersahur - makan roti yang sama mcm semlm... but ngan air kosong ajer...
berbuka - makan biskut and rebus maggi...
lepas terawikh... jalan lagi kat sekitar hospital tu... akhirnya jumpa jugak cafetaria (setelah 30 min berjalan) seronoknya... bought nasi beriyani, burger and m0untain dew RM8.. n aiskrem (sbb dah jalan jauh) RM3. sesampai kat umah... makan nasi beriyani... wow sedap giler... badan pon penat... tinggal suku nasi beriyani utk berbuka esok.
Puasa keempat - Selasa
bersahur - makan burger
berbuka - makan suku nasi beriyani left over semlm... then lepas terawikh... berjalan the other side of that hospital and jumpa kedai org filipino... mula2 mcm tak nak beli sbb menu semua dlm tagalog... but since dah lapar beli lah jugak mee telur... wah.. banyak nyer... habis separuh ajer... RM15 sepinggan mee... separuh yg tak habis tu bawak balik...
Puasa kelima - Rabu (today)
bersahur - patutnyer makan mee... tapi tak terjaga plak...
berbuka - akan makan mee yg dah kembang semangkuk tu... lepas terawikh akan berjalan ke cafetaria... teringin plak nak makan nasi beriani lagi... n beli burger utk bersahur
Puasa keenam - Khamis (esok)
bersahur - apa2 baki makanan mlm ni
berbuka - kata MT dia nak ajak berbuka sekali ngan kawan nyer.. yer lah lagipun jumaat (the day after) dah cuti.. blh la kuar mlm... InsyaAllah...hmm..
bila lah nak dapat apt permanent nih... blh lah memasak... at least makan telur goreng ngan kicap n nasi putih panas... pon dah cukup... Alhamdulillah...
selalunya dulu kalau g jalan2 oversea... mmg tak der pon rasa nak makan masakan malaysia... tp bila dah kat sini... semacam rindu plak ngan masakan melayu... hmmm... mungkin tambah plak ngan puasa... teringat bazaar2 ramadhan... and juadah berbuka yg banyak...
sesapa yg berbuka kat malaysia tu.. jgn membazir tau... btw... blh tak tolong makan kan popiah goreng and cucur badak for me... :)
-----------------------------------
nak tambah skit...
ntah2 mee yg makan masa berbuka tadi dah basi kot... terus sakit perut nih... harap2 sempat g terawikh... n balik... jgn lah cirit birit... anyways... esok pon mmg nak buat medical check up... okler...
Puasa kedua - Ahad (hari kerja kat sini)

The chaos done by HR
Setelah beberapa minggu terbayang2kan masuk keje AJI, akhirnya aku pon melapor diri ke HR dept tepat jam 8.30 hari Khamis sudah (esok genap seminggu aku kat sini). Seperti dipersetujui dgn Manisa, aku pergi ke bahagian HR dahulu dan kemudian baru ke dept tempat keje nanti. Agak terkejut jugak melihat keadaan ofis yg serba kekurangan... rupa-rupanyer office sebenar masih dalam pembinaan... katanya hujung tahun baru siap (sempat ke aku nak menjejak kaki kat office baru?? insyaAllah)
Setelah sembang serba sedikit Manisa pon perkenal kan aku kepada boss2 dia, cuma ada Jad sahaja (org arab) manakala Hodoh plak keluar meeting. Setelah itu Manisa menyerahkan beberapa borang utk diisi dan surat sokongan membuka akaun bank seterusnya aku ditunjukkan jalan ke dept aku yang bersebelahan HR dept.
Aku berjumpa dgn naef, sepertimana yg aku jumpa dulu masa interview, dia nih masih begitu... tp dia plak komen aku dah lost weight.. hehehe (actually aku sebenarnyer dah lupa pon mcm mana rupa dia)... kemudian aku diperkenalkan kepada semua staff dlm department... in total ada 22 (incl me) ramai jugak lah yg perempuan ada 8 org kot... and 3 - 4 org berpurdah dan 2 free hair ajer. mostly staf2 kat dept org2 timur tengah (e.g. jordan), afrika (sudan, somalia, egypt) dan south asia (india and pakistan)... ok lah semua nyer baik2 belaka....
(rasa mcm dah citer ajer semua benda nih.... hmm... ok lah str8 to the point lah... anyway... ini lah cerita nyer kenapa aku ada cakap yg ada issue erupted on my first day yg membuatkan aku rasa nak balik malaysia ajer...)
dah tengahari lepas solat zohor (berjemaah, naef jd imam). aku pon tgk lah balik surat sokongan buka akaun bank yg diberi oleh manisa tadi... tgk2 gaji aku termasuk allowance yg tertulis kat situ (i dont know why at first place amt tu ada kat dlm surat tu) terkurang banyak dr apa yg terkandung dlm agreement... it is terkurang banyak giler.... jumlah tu lah yg aku angan2 kan nak simpan sementara aku kerja kat sini... hmmm... aku selidik semula draf agreement yg aku bawak dari Malaysia... hmmm.... sah... gaji aku terkurang nyata yg banyak... hampir satu bulan gaji aku kat Malaysia dulu... tak puas hati nih...
Laju jer aku berjalan menuju ke HR dept, aku jumpa Manisa dan bertanyakan hal tu. Manisa suruh aku rujuk kepada Hodoh, tp Hodoh tak der... Jad ajer yg ader... Jad tengok semula file aku dan dia dgn muka panik... kata... "we've made a mistake!" kemudian dia keluar kejap...mencari hodoh...
masa tu tuhan ajer yg tahu bagaimana perasaan aku... kaki aku dah mcm tak jejak bumi, tgn dah sejuk dah. ntah kenapa my body reacts extremely... tapi mmg jantung masa tu berdegup laju ajer... rasa mcm hancur harapan.. rasa mcm dah tak bersemangat and marah kat segalanya...
Jad muncul semula dgn Hodoh, disebabkan selama nih aku hanya berhubung dengan Hodoh, jadi aku kenalah deal dgn Hodoh ajer... Jad dah mengundur diri... terdengar2 jugak ada perbualan senyap2 antara Jad and Hodoh yg rasanyer bermaksud... matilah kita... Hodoh kemudian memaklumkan yg dia buat silap... apa lagi aku pon berang lah... sbb aku cakap aku mmg ada bg email mengesahkan amaun tersebut dan pada pendapat aku jawapan email tersebut yg ditulis oleh Hodoh mengesahkan jumlah tersebut. Hodoh tak blh fikir kot, so dia minta masa utk buat semakan dan akan attend to me soonest... aku pon pulang ke department aku dgn langkah longlai... dgn sapa lah aku nak bgtahu and minta support nih... resah....
2 jam berlalu... Hodoh berjumpa aku... dia kata dia tidak bermaksud yg dia mengesahkan gaji tersebut dlm email itu... mmg lah email tu aku ajukan 2 soalan serentak iaitu sahkan amaun gaji dan sahkan bahawa tulisan dalam bahasa arab akan sama dgn bahasa inggeris... mengikut kata Hodoh yg bodoh itu, dia sahkan soalan kedua sahaja... bodohkan... apa lagi.. melenting lah aku kat dept tu... melenting dlm kadar sederhana ajer lah... Hodoh jd segan, dia bawak aku berbincang kat dalam bilik berasingan... aku tak puas hati.. aku nak jugak apa yg dijanjikan... bengang giler... perbincangan tak der penyelesaian... Hodoh pulang semula ke office dia dan meminta sehingga selasa (3 hari kerja) utk memikirkan perkara nih...
tapi tak sampai 1/2 jam dia kembali semula dan memberitahu... dia akan bg hampir separuh drp amaun yg terkurang... aku dah lega skit... dia kata dia tak blh bagi semua kerana amaun tu akan jadi kan gaji aku lagi lebih dr boss... hmmm... aku dah tak larat nak gaduh.. aku cuma minta masa utk fikir utk terima atau tak.... aku kata hari ahad aku akan jumpa dia semula...
kemudian my boss plak jumpa aku... bincang perkara tersebut... aku ceritakan segalanyer... harap2 kan dia simpati dgn aku... mulanyer dia agree dan suruh HR kotakan janji... tetiba dia plak bincangkan jika gaji aku ditambah lagi (dgn amaun separuh yg HR kata ok) dia kata semua staff dept aku mesti takkan puas hati.... tambahan pula akan ada sorang india Malaysia dtg jadi senior aku yg gaji nyer akan lebih rendah dr aku... dia kata perlu ada rombakan kepada semua org... aku dah mula pening... apa pasal plak aku yg tertipu... terinaya... org lain pulak yg dpt kenaikan gaji... confuse.... dlm masa tu.. rasanyer mmg dah nak balik dah... dah lah mmg hati nih rasa berat jer nak dok sini....
sepanjang weekend aku fikir... samada nak terus memberontak and demand juga apa yg dijanjikan... atau aku settle ajer dgn apa yg ada... aku fikir panjang2... hmmm.. mungkin setakat tu ajer rezeki aku... terima sajalah apa yg nak diberi.... insyaAllah.. kalau berkat rezeki tu walaupun kurang pasti cukup....
so.. hari ahad, aku jumpa naef dan hodoh... aku agree dgn offer semula tersebut.. dan aku cakap pada kedua mereka.. aku tak kisah jika nak rombak ke nak naikkan gaji org lain... aku tak nak fikir semua tu.. sbb bukan masalah aku.... aku nak buat keje betul2 itu ajer.... concentrate saja pada kerja... insyaAllah...
(p/s - 1 masalah... brg overweight, 2 masalah... gaji overstated.... 3... apa plak yer... harap2 cukup itu ajer.... insyaAllah...)
Setelah sembang serba sedikit Manisa pon perkenal kan aku kepada boss2 dia, cuma ada Jad sahaja (org arab) manakala Hodoh plak keluar meeting. Setelah itu Manisa menyerahkan beberapa borang utk diisi dan surat sokongan membuka akaun bank seterusnya aku ditunjukkan jalan ke dept aku yang bersebelahan HR dept.

Jad muncul semula dgn Hodoh, disebabkan selama nih aku hanya berhubung dengan Hodoh, jadi aku kenalah deal dgn Hodoh ajer... Jad dah mengundur diri... terdengar2 jugak ada perbualan senyap2 antara Jad and Hodoh yg rasanyer bermaksud... matilah kita... Hodoh kemudian memaklumkan yg dia buat silap... apa lagi aku pon berang lah... sbb aku cakap aku mmg ada bg email mengesahkan amaun tersebut dan pada pendapat aku jawapan email tersebut yg ditulis oleh Hodoh mengesahkan jumlah tersebut. Hodoh tak blh fikir kot, so dia minta masa utk buat semakan dan akan attend to me soonest... aku pon pulang ke department aku dgn langkah longlai... dgn sapa lah aku nak bgtahu and minta support nih... resah....
2 jam berlalu... Hodoh berjumpa aku... dia kata dia tidak bermaksud yg dia mengesahkan gaji tersebut dlm email itu... mmg lah email tu aku ajukan 2 soalan serentak iaitu sahkan amaun gaji dan sahkan bahawa tulisan dalam bahasa arab akan sama dgn bahasa inggeris... mengikut kata Hodoh yg bodoh itu, dia sahkan soalan kedua sahaja... bodohkan... apa lagi.. melenting lah aku kat dept tu... melenting dlm kadar sederhana ajer lah... Hodoh jd segan, dia bawak aku berbincang kat dalam bilik berasingan... aku tak puas hati.. aku nak jugak apa yg dijanjikan... bengang giler... perbincangan tak der penyelesaian... Hodoh pulang semula ke office dia dan meminta sehingga selasa (3 hari kerja) utk memikirkan perkara nih...
tapi tak sampai 1/2 jam dia kembali semula dan memberitahu... dia akan bg hampir separuh drp amaun yg terkurang... aku dah lega skit... dia kata dia tak blh bagi semua kerana amaun tu akan jadi kan gaji aku lagi lebih dr boss... hmmm... aku dah tak larat nak gaduh.. aku cuma minta masa utk fikir utk terima atau tak.... aku kata hari ahad aku akan jumpa dia semula...
kemudian my boss plak jumpa aku... bincang perkara tersebut... aku ceritakan segalanyer... harap2 kan dia simpati dgn aku... mulanyer dia agree dan suruh HR kotakan janji... tetiba dia plak bincangkan jika gaji aku ditambah lagi (dgn amaun separuh yg HR kata ok) dia kata semua staff dept aku mesti takkan puas hati.... tambahan pula akan ada sorang india Malaysia dtg jadi senior aku yg gaji nyer akan lebih rendah dr aku... dia kata perlu ada rombakan kepada semua org... aku dah mula pening... apa pasal plak aku yg tertipu... terinaya... org lain pulak yg dpt kenaikan gaji... confuse.... dlm masa tu.. rasanyer mmg dah nak balik dah... dah lah mmg hati nih rasa berat jer nak dok sini....
sepanjang weekend aku fikir... samada nak terus memberontak and demand juga apa yg dijanjikan... atau aku settle ajer dgn apa yg ada... aku fikir panjang2... hmmm.. mungkin setakat tu ajer rezeki aku... terima sajalah apa yg nak diberi.... insyaAllah.. kalau berkat rezeki tu walaupun kurang pasti cukup....
so.. hari ahad, aku jumpa naef dan hodoh... aku agree dgn offer semula tersebut.. dan aku cakap pada kedua mereka.. aku tak kisah jika nak rombak ke nak naikkan gaji org lain... aku tak nak fikir semua tu.. sbb bukan masalah aku.... aku nak buat keje betul2 itu ajer.... concentrate saja pada kerja... insyaAllah...
(p/s - 1 masalah... brg overweight, 2 masalah... gaji overstated.... 3... apa plak yer... harap2 cukup itu ajer.... insyaAllah...)

Eventful day
My first day in the office!!! really great!!!
I love the office, the people and the work that i need to do... I have loads of idea to complete the job succesfully. Very motivated indeed.
I got to know that i will only reside in my current place just for temporary. They will provide another fully furnished apartment once its ready. But after moving to the new apartment later, i wont be able to enjoy the free breakfast and driver.
Anyway, 1 major difference (currently) on the working environment. There will be no lunch break. The office hour is 8am-4pm, 8 str8 hours... luckily next week Ramadhan...give no effect to me though... and can be considered as practice for months to come...
However, come noon... there's an issue erupted... which make me think... I will come back to Malaysia sooner than expected. Dunno what the final say yet... but very2 soon...
p/s - would this be the end of my journey??

My new place
These are picture of my new apartment, am not so sure whether i will stay here for the 2 years or for temporary basis. but just enjoy the moment here lah..
The first 2 pics are the living room cum dining... then the kitchen and lastly my bedroom... looks terrific!!! however, i have to share the living room, dining room and kitchen facility with a housemate (who i have not met yet). plus he got a room with king size bed and attached toilet.
the flight was ok, as i slept throughout the journey. Pretty hectic during the checking in process as i brought extremely over-weight bagagge. hehehe... did a quick unpacked and packed at the check in counter.
my housemate sent me to the airport along with my parents. and due to the check in thing, they only manage to go back at 2.30am.. pity them....
me boarded in at 3.30am... and reached doha at 6am (doha time). the immigration in doha was done smoothly as there's representative helping me out doin all that...
p/s -ntah lah... mungkin baru2 sgt... i think i need to leave me some few days before i could really settle.... sigh...
-------------------------------------------
since me still wanna share about my first day (yesterday) here so instead of putting new entry i continue from this entry lah
ok... first of all... i have forgot to mention that i have to share the lovely apt with someone (who is until now i have not met yet, who while i'm writing this entry went off from the room for good!)
nak citer skit pasal the departure and arrival and what i did yesterday...i would say this couple of days have been days full of tears... i have never cried as much as these few days. I didnt hug my parents and housemate that long when we say goodbye at the KLIA as i dont want to break down and cried in front of them. but the soonest i step on to the escalator towards the imigration counters, the tears dropped like its the end of the world... luckily we already used machine to check our passport.
The reps who welcomed me at the airport was so cool... i dont need to queue up, just passed my passport and visa, the rep did all... what i did was sit down in the lounge and enjoy some snacks... after all the imigration things done, i met with my driver who sent me to my accomodation. I'm still not sure whether i'll be staying here for the next 2 years or this is just a temporary settlement.
Apparently, due to technical problem my hp is not roaming... so i couldnt sms my love ones once i landed in D0ha. therefore, the minute i put my bag in the provided room i rushed to the receptionist and check out how i can get connected with the internet. it was ard 1pm in malaysia at that time, my housemate didnt responded my call. But my parents did and they were extremely joy to know that i have arrived safely... they said the period between 11am, as i was supposed to arrive at that time, till 1pm (malaysian time) was really merisaukan...
Lunch was at McD with MT (malay staying in Doha that i got to know thru a friend) and his friend. the price of McD here is double than Malaysia.. plus they don't have chilli sauce!!!! after the quick lunch i went back and continue talking with my parents, my elder bro and my housemate...
Dinner was at a grill house, turkey central restaurant, the food was good but MT (again eat with him, thanks for being very-very nice to me) ordered a lot of food and i cant really finished it... but as usual, i cant see fod wasted... so makan lah jugak sampai habis. Later, MT brought me around and make a quick tour around Doha. For me Doha is a huge city and a lot of things to explore. but better to explore Doha at nite as day time the weather/sun was teribly hot!
*a note for MT, if u didnt accompanied me around yesterday... i think by now, i have fly off back to Malaysia :)*
today i will report for duty... wish me good luck yer!!!
p/s - still not sure whether this is the best decision (give myself more time)

Semi-Final Preparation...
Hmmm... bag dah pack dah... (most of the things are in the bag already) but tetiba jer berat sangat rasanyer... and mesti overweight... dah lah nanti kena bayar overweight luggage charge nanti... (walaupun blh reimburse from future employer) mesti lah sedia kan duit jugak... masa ambil tiket tu diaorang cakap RM61 per kg.... hmmm thats a lot of money... mau kena bayar RM610 at least... kalau lah kat kaunter tu ada credit card facility kan ke bagus...
Lain2 rasanyer dah ok kot... LHDN dah bagi clearance letter... M^xis pon dah settle... dapat pakej yg bayar bulanan nyer RM10... so tak kisah lah sangat kekalkan line yg sedia ada... bank rasanyer takper lah kot... kena lah bukak akaun kat sana and transfer ke Meibank every month... then guna internet banking je dari sana... so blh lah bayar kereta n rumah guna internet banking. hmmm... apa lagi??? actually bila ada duit kat Meibank and blh buat internet banking blh kata semua keje blh buat... kalau tak blh nak bayar thru internet, transfer lah duit ke akaun sesapa kat Malaysia and mintak tolong... rasa nyer masih ada kawan yg blh membantu... Insya Allah...
Cuma yg masih problem is my Sky-pe facility, masih tak blh guna microphone nyer... camner nak communicate nanti ek??? harap2 bila dah kat sana ok lah kot...
Kawan2 pon dah ramai dah jumpa dah... salam2 n ucap selamat lah... ada yg belanja ada jugak yg terpaksa dibelanja... yer lah tak leh nak berkira sgt, inilah kengkawan yg blh membantu pon... InsyaAllah...
For last jalan2, skit lagi (in 12 hours) nak ke Bintooloo plak... nak g tgk anak2 buah. since diaorang pindah ke Bintooloo (last 3 years kot) tak pernah pon ke sana. saja lah tgk2 apa ada kat sana... mungkin jugak nak ke Meeree on saturday kot. Entah2 tak lama lagi diaorg akan balik ke KL plak... and my bro akan keje permanently kat KL plak... tak sempat nak tgk Bintooloo...
Balik dari sana hari Ahad, pagi Isnin akan balik ke Ipoh... nak buat last packing... jumpa kengkawan kat ipoh laks... tido semlm kat sana... tghhari selasa tu surely dah kena gerak dr Ipoh, ye lah... kena jugak lah singgah umah2 sedara mara... esp Wancho and Maksu (kalau ler dia tak der kat Ipoh)... Mlm tu ard 11.30 akan gerak ler ke KLIA...
Masa dapat berita tawaran kerja ni... rasanya macam lama lagi baru nak pergi... bila dah tinggal beberapa hari terasa sangat cepat masa berlalu. Macam tak sempat2 ajer... Bila dah mcm nih selalu nyer mula lah terasa mcm ada ajer yg tak siap... tak lengkap... ada jugak risau nyer.. tp tak blh lah nak fikir sgt pasal benda2 nih... kalau pikir semuanyer... mmg tak jadi pergi... kalau tak pergi.... tak blh ler nak gelarkan diri nih... MELAYU PERANTAU kan... :)

Balik dari sana hari Ahad, pagi Isnin akan balik ke Ipoh... nak buat last packing... jumpa kengkawan kat ipoh laks... tido semlm kat sana... tghhari selasa tu surely dah kena gerak dr Ipoh, ye lah... kena jugak lah singgah umah2 sedara mara... esp Wancho and Maksu (kalau ler dia tak der kat Ipoh)... Mlm tu ard 11.30 akan gerak ler ke KLIA...
Masa dapat berita tawaran kerja ni... rasanya macam lama lagi baru nak pergi... bila dah tinggal beberapa hari terasa sangat cepat masa berlalu. Macam tak sempat2 ajer... Bila dah mcm nih selalu nyer mula lah terasa mcm ada ajer yg tak siap... tak lengkap... ada jugak risau nyer.. tp tak blh lah nak fikir sgt pasal benda2 nih... kalau pikir semuanyer... mmg tak jadi pergi... kalau tak pergi.... tak blh ler nak gelarkan diri nih... MELAYU PERANTAU kan... :)

Money money money...
semlm pergi ke 'your local bank' sebab nak tanya samada blh tak activate akaun di sini bagi pembayaran gaji kat sana nanti... senang lah kalau blh tak perlu lah buka akaun kat sana... senang jugak nanti bila balik sini nak keluar duit... tp mmg lah 'your local bank' ni mmg utk local jer.. tak blh lah nak buat sepertimana yang diharap... penat berjalan.. dan naik monorel ajer... i think ada cara nya yg boleh.... mungkin buka Foreign Currency Account (FCA)... tapi tak der lah pulak personal financial adviser tu bagi cadangan buka FCA account. mungkin pada pendapat dia tak bagus FCA account tu kot... tak sesuai ngan org miskin nih...
selain berkenaan akaun, ada beberapa lagi yg perlu disettle... like insurance... selalunyer akan dibayar melalui akaun (direct debit) tapi memandangkan gaji masuk mungkin dari akaun di Qat*r nanti... and few other commitments like rumah dan kereta... but all these blh settle provided i can tranfer some amount of money to my Meibank account... using Meibank2u blh lah bayar semua nih...
hmm... harap2 dgn kerja kat sana nih blh lah memperbaiki taraf ekonomi... buat saving sikit sbb saving yg dulu2 semua dah habis kan dgn berjalan... hehehe.... insyaAllah... and kat sana nanti kena lah jadi kedekut skit... asalnyer nak beli kereta best masa di Qat*r.. but bila fikir2 balik... hmm.. rasa nyer nak beli kereta termurah jer kot.. janji dpt berjalan... tak banyak pakai minyak... muat lah lagi 3 org, kalau2 lah ada sesapa dr M'sia nih nak ke sana... blh jugak ler bawak berjalan... as told, kata nya kat sana tak perlu bawak international licence.. kat sana br buat... itu nanti bila sampai sana kita check...
but... kadang2 terfikir jugak... money is not everything... not all thing money can buy.... ermmm.. apa-apa je lah...
______________________________________________
malas nak buat entry baru.... hmm.. saja jer nak citer... lately nih buat preparation pelbagai sampai tak sempat nak lunch... dah 3 hari dah... hari selasa g ke qatar airways ambil tiket... hari semlm g ke 'your local bank' tanya pasal akaun... tadi g ke L0w Ya++ plak nak betulkan laptop, sbb sebelum nih tak leh detect recording device. So lepas nih dah taruh recording device blh lah nak buat voice call thru Skype atau YM... leh laj update citer ngan org2 tersayang back home.

Hujan ke???
Sedang fikir2 persiapan nak berangkat tetiba terfikir pasal nasib, pasal qada' dan qadar, pasal rezeki... Memang semuanyer ditentukan Allah... sapa tahu tetiba aku ada peluang plak nak menjelajah bumi Arab dan mencari rezeki di negara orang dan melihat dunia luar jauh dari tanah air... Namun sejauh mana kita bersyukur dalam sudut hati insan tak sempurna seperti aku nih ada jugak nak mempertikaikan itu ini... sigh
Dulu selalu terfikir berapa beruntungnya org2 seperti abg aku and beberapa kenalan lain yang berpeluang belajar di luar negara... dibayar perjalanan dan hidup nya di negara orang. Suatu pengalaman yang aku kejar masa habis belajar dulu. Namun usaha yang dibuat tidak lah melampau atau bersungguh... akhirnya belajar jer lah kat Bangi. Terasa jugak cemburu sebab org2 yg berpeluang belajar di luar negara beroleh pendedahan kepada dunia luar... dapat menikmati apa yg dikatakan cuaca 4 musim... lihat kehidupan 'orang putih' lebih dekat. bagi yang lebih adventorous, beroleh peluang melihat negara2 sekitar... menjelajah eropah... inilah diriku yang selalu jugak tak bersyukur (Astaghafirullah)
La nih tetiba pulak aku dapat rezeki ke luar negara, walaupun bukan negara 4 musim, tapi dengar kata orang ramai jugak orang2 yang lahir di negara 4 musim hidup di negara panas nih... hmmm... kadangkala terfikir jugak mampu ke nak harungi semua pancaroba hidup di negara orang nih sendirian. apa jadi kalau tiba2 apa yang diharap berlaku sebaliknya... apa nak buat kalau kerinduan perkara2 yang selalu dibuat saban hari... manalah pernah diri ini keluar negara lebih dari satu bulan.... ntah lah... rasa nya ok kot...
Harap-harap semua nyer lancar lah... syukur jer lah dengan apa yang dapat insyaAllah blh lah kot at least mengharungi dua tahun. Ada kawan2 bertanya apa nak buat selepas dua tahun nanti, nak balik keje kat sini ker? ntah lah... rasanya malas jugak nak fikir apa akan jadi lagi dua tahun. Walaupun diri ini mmg selalu berangan tapi... biar lah apa yang terjadi lagi dua tahun berlaku dengan sendiri.. take things one at a time.. sekarang nih... masa utk buat preparation nak pergi...
org ada kata.... hujan emas di negeri org, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, lebih baik negeri sendiri. Rasanyer belum layak kiranya aku ungkapkan kata2 ini sbb belum merasa lagi hujan emas kat negara org... apa kata kita kutip segala emas yg dihujani dinegeri org itu dan bawak ke neger sendiri... mungkin lebih baik kot... kurang2 blh buat rumah yg kukuh bagi mengelakkan diri dari kena hujan batu.... hehehehe

Packing List...
First time living oversea... hmm.. what should i pack???
dah suruh mak sediakan makanan... meaning... segala keperluan bekalan makanan mak yang akan pack kan dalam kotak... termasuk sos cili, kicap, rempah ratus (org kata rempah kari kat sana tak sama rasa ngan Malaysia), maggi etc (mengikut budi bicara dia lah)
then... pakaian... dah beli beg 28" utk taruh semua barang... rasanya muat kot... bawak lah semua pakaian yg ada sekarang... dan termasuk 2 suit dan 2 pasang baju melayu (songkok dan butang tak der lagi) Bendera Malaysia tak beli lagi (sempena sukan Asia Doha december nih), kasut and sandals, and sehelai (or 2) baju utk musim sejuk hujung tahun nih...
Laptop dah beli dah... its the most important equipment nak bawak ke sana... ni lah punca nak berkomunikasi ngan org2 kat malaysia dan serata dunia... n nak update blog nih...

The Starter...
Sejak balik dari Itali backpacking tahun 2004 i've been dreaming to visit all the places in the world. Some might say that there's a 'travel bug' melekat behind my back. From there on mulalah berangan2 pergi to many places... and even prepare a budget to see those places... and also for my own round the world trip.
Then, bila mula buat budget tu, setelah fikir2 semula, mcm tak logik jer i mampu utk menggapai impian tu... dgn gaji yg tak seberapa nih, dgn segala hutang yg ada (umah n kereta) byk pulak penghalang nyer... so i ask around and ask to myself how will i ever fulfill my ambition... i've sent a post to thorntree.lonely planet... i asked the whole world to give me ideas how can i work on it... (in fact, my question has become the thread of the day... mcm soalan paling menarik hari ini... and diletakkan kat frontpage of the website...)
many ppl from the whole world gave out ideas to me and most of them ask me to save and save and save.... and memberi semangat... but from there, ada a few yg bg suggestion to work while travelling... and to work abroad... which i found as brilliant ideas... but where and how??? i can't be a bartender at the light district in London or New York, i don't think i'm good enough to become an english teacher in south korea, i don't have a licence to become diving instructor in Egypt, or should i be a cherry pickers in the farm in New Zealand hmmm.....how abt working professionally oversea, hmm i don't have recognisable educational background lah... i studied locally and i take local professional papers instead of those world renown examinations... i give a try thru few online applications.. but none responded... ok, then i tried to search for jobs in Malaysia which will need me to go overseas extensively... but my fieldwork mmg kebanyakannyer hanya desktop job i.e. setiap hari duduk lah depan computer nih.
At the same time while searching for the jobs to improve my life... i kind of settled with what i had in hand... i travelled to various places... I almost covered the whole ASEAN, I went to bali, bangkok, siem reap, singapore and jakarta (to name a few)... and the furthest to Turkey.... then i decided that this is how i should travel the whole world... still working in Malaysia... try to earn more.. save a bit and spend on these short trips... I'm happy with it... and therefore i've spent the past 1 1/2 years doing all that.
But still hiding in me was my ambition to see the whole world... whenever i got to know that any of my friends got attachment for couple of weeks in somewhere out of Malaysia... tetiba jer i rasa jealous... whenever my fren got secondment to oversea i asked myself, why my job doesnt require me to do the same... this little fellow inside me keep bugging again and again... find a job out there.... anyway, i still have my resume in the online jobseeker website. but i've decided to stay...
masa tgh cari keje lain... (because i think its time for me to change job lah) i come accross one job advertisement, an MNC company based in Qatar which just set up their asia pacific branch in KL... no harm trying, i apply for the job without knowing that i'll be based in Qatar. after 1 month plus gone... there's no news from the company.. so i assumed they've got their man... and me fortunately secured a new job in a huge conglomerate in Malaysia.. ok... settled... but to my surprise, the Qatar company reply my email n call me... and i went for interview and now they offer me a job plus they said i'll be based in Qatar and not in Malaysia.... and it came so sudden...
it came when i've decided to work in Malaysia, when i've feel comfortable with current life, when
i dont want that offer... Again, it's not just an offer.. but an offer that i cant resist.. the package that i wanted... the thing that i've been thinking for the past 2 years or more... it's an opportunity for me to open up a new book in my life... another phase of me.... hmmm... and i think i've decided that i have to take it.....
So this will be my first step to 'conquer' the world.
