Two weeks

I was on leave for two weeks, and as always, it was heavenly. Not in any particular order, saw Nisa, Enid, Leha, Hanim, Pak Ghaz, Maaz, Kam, Bad, Adly, Amir, Meor, Hizral, Eleena, the doctor, my sisters Zamie, Kana, Nana, my parents and Anita Sarawak at a high-tea show.

Nisa: Enjoying unemployment and the leisurely life as a chauffer, driving important people and socialising with rich datins at high teas, boutiques and spas.

Enid: Happy to annoy her neighbours by being mysterious.

Leha: Cracking her head on a new novel.

Hanim: Just had a baby girl.

Pak Ghaz: Enjoying his new post as a no-post, as posted by a very jealous regime management.

Maaz: Very pregnant and has no clue of the baby's sex.

Kam: It was always about politics, Umno, MIC, MCA, and the office.

Bad: Optimistic about the new management and the changes in the office, but laments about the dogs in the neighbourhood.

Adly: About to have a baby. Doesn't care about the people in the office.

Amir: Started a radical blog and suddenly resigned from work.

Meor: Thought about leaving the company but stayed on. He is writing another novel.

Hizral: Into multi-level marketing.

Eleena: She is in love, deeply, madly and sadly.

the doctor: was very puzzled as how I knew him and why I came to see him.

Zamie: She dragged me to the gym. I nearly fainted after half hour on the treadmill.

Kana: She smiled, her in laws stayed for the school holidays. She bought another car.

Nana: Heavily pregnant with her first baby and suffering from severe backpain and water retention. Otherwise, very happy.

My parents: Apasal tak cakap nak datang? (I arrived at their doorstep at 1245am) They are happy. Mum's ever busy with pelamin. Pak with his new MP4.

Anita Sarawak: She cried thinking of Siput Sarawak. It was a good show.


Everybody has something to say about many things and events. Highest on list was the PM, Tun Mahathir, Proton, Bridge, Ghani Othman, petrol price, Petronas and 9th Malaysia Plan. Nobody spoke of traffic jams or road accidents anymore as was the normality of balik kampung issues.

Suddenly people are becoming very concern about the future of the country. Was it concern or fear?
