Part 3

The class was taking a break. Some of the classmates were sitting at the round table just around the corner outside the classroom. Through the transparent glass wall, they could watch cars passing by and the scorching sun burning the skins of all those pedestrians outside. A group of blind people were being instructed along the special yellow line with patterned bumps on it to guide their way around the busy city.

The conversation seems to be so lively. Topic after topic were discussed among the students from the class. And suddenly I was being targeted as the centre of the conversation;

“I heard U like to watch one of the girl huh?”
“Me? Yaaa…I’m single after all..ehehe”
“Then who do you like or have a crush on?”
“Like I’d tell you all”
“Ohhh come on..At least give us a hint”
“Hmm..A girl I would have a crush on..would be the one whom I would be completely silent when she was around”
“Definitely none of us!!”, A hilarious laughs echoed and fill the air

 The truth is, I never thought of anyone at that moment. None of the students there fit my criteria of a girl I desire. Actually there was one, but she’s married and has already blessed with a child. I admit that I am very picky when it comes to choosing a soul-mate. Of course I like someone gorgeous, beautiful, pretty and cute. See..what a totally display-oriented evaluation. Hey come on. It would be a face U would see the first thing in the morning for more than 20 years. Was it too much asking for one which will make ur day bright??

 How she behave and how’s her attitude is damn important, I agreed. Let makes it this way ; Out of faces of strangers which none of them U don’t even have any clue whether she’s a bad girl or the nice one. What’s the odds? So why not just pick one with a great figure, nice face and just leave the rest to luck about the attitude she possess. You don’t like her attitude, break up with her before the love blossomed or try to accept and improvise it so it would blend nicely with your bad side..It’s that simple for me.

Part 2

I woke early that morning. The first day of the class would be interesting enough to make me me pumped up and warmed up my bike right after the bath. The sound of the bike filling the morning air along with the other housemate’ engines.

The decision made weeks ago to resign the previous job and started to join a class with a purpose of preparing u for a job interview, will result in empty pocket due to the allowance-less of this class. It was a big shot, a big risk..but as kelly clarkson’s song which always humming in my head, “I spread my wings and I learnt how to fly, I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky, Make a wish, take a chance, make a change..and breakaway~~~“

It sounds funny, absurd or anything u could imply about it, but this lyrics was one of the reason I agreed to join the camp and resigned from my job. I tried to breakaway from the fact that I’m a manufactured student with a computer science background, trying to get a job beyond my field of study coz I know I’m suck at it.

I followed the map given earlier by the lecture. Once I saw the landmark, I knew I was in the right place. Other participants, or precisely I would say, students were coming to the rally point with only one hope, to be hired. It’s starting to sound like the Apprentice episode.

When the group have been announced, I was in the same group as Persie, the girl I met, the one sat next to me whom I’ve just known for a brief moment on the bus. Oh..ok.

——————————————————————————————–

The classes started day after day, week after week and finally we were waiting our name to be called and be interviewed by the personnel from the company. During the weeks passed, I’ve known Persie better than the first day we met. I’ve being her team mate during some of the activities in the class. Yet, I never chat with her anything other than the subject. I am rather a shy person in a given ocassion and circumstances.

And then, life played it’s trick on us…only 6 people out of 60 managed to be hired. SOme of us had no chance at all and some of us managed to be placed in a-week-assessment class to get us ready for the 2nd chance..

The money was running out and didn’t even bother to running in back. Shit!! I really need a real job which pays me a dime. And then when the news about the CSR position in S company came across and I decided to have a go!!

Part 1

The busses were waiting for the passengers to hop in and grab their seats. The participants of the Job Camp had already scattered everywhere near the busses but none of them thinking of getting in it. Everyone was waiting for their friends to sit together the whole journey towards home so they could have a long chat about the days they spent during the Job Camp.

Unlike the others, just after I reached the rally point where the bus was waiting, I hurriedly walked towards it and hopped in. I picked an empty seat and sat next to the window. My friend just followed and sit next to me. Minutes later, everyone was departing and grabbing their seats. At that moment, my friend said that he would sit at the back of the bus with the others.

“I’d be better sitting here. I don’t like sitting at the back because it’s bumpy and I might puke sadly if I were to sit there”, I smiled to my friend and saying no to him.

So, the sit next to me is vacant till one girl was looking for a seat. Apparently her other friends had already got their seats and left her alone standing next to my seats.

“Can I sit here?”, she asked me
“yeah..no problem. I won’t do you any harm”, I smiled
“Persie..just sit there..he wants to know you”, my groupmate during the group activity we had days back teasing us.

So she shyly sat next to me with a complete silence. I just smiled at her again and started to turn away from her and trying to get my sleeping-gear 1 so I could sink in a deep nap all the way home. I’m not that haggard after the 4 day-activities, but I prefer sleeping on a bus rather than having a chat especially with someone who sat next to me by an unfortunate event.

In the middle of the journey, I eventually opened my eyes and straighten up my body. I looked at her and started to chat a bit with her.

“What’s the time now? “
“12 noon”
“Ooo..ok.What’s ur name again?”
“Persie”
“Nice to meet U. Call me Draco”
“Nice to meet U too”
“My friend is sitting back there. I don’t like sitting at the back, that’s why I sit here alone. Not that I wanna trap someone like u sitting here and trying to chat with u and asking ur phone number at the end of the journey”, I joked with her and she just smiled at me shyly.

I continue my nap till we reached the destination and disembarked off. We shall meet again during the next class next week.

An effort to update..daaa

Huu..been a while since my last entry huh? Hehe..don’t blame me my dear blog..I’m a busy woman yes..?? I still trying to figure out how to disable the comment moderation coz honestly I appreciate all of U who have been leaving ur comments here. But, I can sure u that the next day, U might not gonna see ur comment yet due to blog-unvisited-by-the-owner. By leaving them in the awaiting moderation box, it’s kinda not appreciate the comments though..Again, sorry if felt not being appreciated with the comments..GOmenasai!!

 I just got back from a camp organized by the admin. We went to Lumut, Perak and stayed there for about 4 days..Lot of things which unfortunately not my cup of tea have been done. Orinteering with the compas and the map which I admit kinda sucks on it. Crossing the river..swoooshh..flying fox which more like flying Orang Utan or flying Orang dlm Utan..=p n more.

Whenever I grumbled bout it to Anul, he would always say..WTF!! that’s cool gal!! Adventurous!! Well, I’m not like him who really loves all those things. For me, a nap on a rainy afternoon just after the lunch is the total heaven..hehe!! 

Few days bak, before we leaved the college, there was an observation taken place which was observed by one of the guy from the ministry of education. When he was in our class, he  bluntly asked one my colleague why on earth she would always fix her veil and looked so bored in the class. The guy even warned her to really think bout teaching and to quit if she doesn’t even have the passion to teach. It’s true though, most of the people here didn’t come on her/his wills. Only few of us here really aim to be a teacher deep inside their heart. But to most of us, it’s just an option to have a secured job, told by the big brother, asked hardly by the parents and etc. I wonder how we could attend to the children, teach them till they really understand it if we don’t have enough passion to do it.

 Anul always said that even if it’s not meant for me, but I could survive and he really sure the passion would blossomed in my heart day by day. He also said, once u are a teacher…u always a teacher. U are not only get ur salary..ur money, but u earn respects, u earn a pride, u earn a bless from HIM and a pray from ur students. Guess again, Anul’s words melted me to a puddle of a schmaltzy slush~~~. And I started to believe in myself…Jia YUUUU!!
