Saya sumpah curious.
Sapa yang still baca ni.
I have to admit, post semalam tu adelah sebab nak tengok ade lagi ke makhluk yang baca benda ni.
Yelah, sekarang berapa kerat je yang masih pergi tengok blogger. Cuba angkat jari tengok.
Anyway.
Cakap pasal makhluk....kbai.

Ye sudah tukar.
Telling no longer works.
Now i am only asking.
What do you want?
When answers given, i will just say, do it.
Some just need second opinion.
Some just need assurance.
Cause, telling.. no longer works.

Soulmate dengan arwah. (Random ok. Takde kaitan antara dua topik ni)
Tadi bangun pagi macam saya terpikir. Soulmate mesti ke kita kna ada love interest? Kalau kawan?
At times, saya ada orang orang yang gets me without even me having to voice it out, that feeling!
So benda paling common. Kita akan buat adelah....google!
Definition yang paling atas sekali dalam urban dictionary:

Definition yang paling atas sekali dalam urban dictionary:
It's like a best friend, but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person, well, actually they don't make you a better person...you do that yourself because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you, and accepted you, and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would. And no matter what happens..you'll always love them.
Wow! That example of perfect soulmates though. Menyebabkan saya terus, got it!
Hahaha.
Saya dengan yakin dan beraninya mengakui, saya ada beberapa orang soulmates.
Ada hari harinya yang saya rasa, despite everything, at this moment, i am content. And truly blessed being here. Today is one of the days.
Oh, sekali lagi, saya mimpi seseorang. And tiba tiba, rindu pulak dekat ayah.
Arwah atau almarhum?
Ok sekarang google pulak perbezaan arwah dengan almarhum.

Eh nak main peer pressure tak jalan lah dengan sarahnur
Tak nampak macam mana orang boleh sampai konklusi takut lelaki bila tahu status saya.
Just cause i refused to go out lunch together?
Just cause i dont pick up call?
Ini lah orang kita, suka menghakimi. Bila tahu cerita di sebalik tabir, lagi pantas buat spekulasi.
Apa salahnya saya nak enjoy 2 tahun terakhir zaman 20-an ni dengan cara saya?
Mak cakap, itu semua sebab Tuhan belum bukak hati lagi.
Kalau nak jodoh kena doa selalu. Bukan main kata jodoh tak sampai aja.
Ok mak. Esok esok. (Procrastinating at its best)

yes i am reacting to the video: tell me you love me
If it is love, why does it tears you up? Pulls you down? Breaks you to pieces?
Why does it feels so fucking hard?
It might be something else. A fairy tale that you have been told and re-told until you chant it. Until you believe it. Until nobody doubts it’s existance.

Mood dengar britney spears
Saya agak ‘lucky.
Bukan sebab selalu jumpa duit tengah jalan.
Bukan sebab selalu dapat cabutan bertuah. Tak penah kot.
Bukan sebab tak ditimpa malang.
Saya selalu anggap tuah itu doa orang orang sekeliling. Setiap kali nama saya disebut. Sarah.
Bila muhasabah diri, saya ada banyak untuk bersyukur dkt Allah.
Walau bila dilanda ujian, saya dapat harungi dengan mudah dan tabah. InsyaAllah. Alhamdulillah.
Saya hilang separuh jiwa saya (figuratively speaking), tapi saya dapat 2 family baru. Family yang saya tak sedar ada sebelah saya tapi hibernate. Bukan family besar, tapi family yang saya boleh pergi terjah, bila tak balik ipoh. Bila bila masa. Syukur alhamdulillah.
Ini pun saya rasa hikmah jugak. Kalau tak sebab ‘tragedi’ tu, mungkin diorang anggap saya dah ‘settled’ dan kurang pamer keprihatinan.
Hampir genap setahun. Jujur hati rasa kering lagi.
Bila kawan baru tanya pasal kawin/boyfriend, (sebab apparently 28 is still young?) saya belum sedia untuk kongsi kisah saya yang agak berat untuk topik berkenalan di tempat baru. Tapi rupanya ada seorang yang berkongsi nasib serupa.
Saya cerita status sebenar. Untuk justify kenapa at 28, saya dah rasa tua. Cukup. Itu aja.
Tak tahu kenapa beberapa minggu ni saya mimpi benda yang dah lepas tapi maybe in alternate universe yang benda jadi lebih baik daripada realiti. Lepas tu saya terjaga sebab alarm bunyi.
That is always the problem, isnt it? That important moment when we were snapped out of it. When reality kicks in.
Live your life, Sarah. That’s all you have to do.

Balik kampung tengok drama
Asal balik ipoh je, mesti tengok drama.
Filipina ke. La usurpadora ke. Dia dan cinta ke apa jadah.
Semuanya cerita cinta.
Bukan nak anti-cerita-cinta. Cuma, semuanya sama aja.
Sapa yang taknak bahagia.
Tipu la kalau cakap taknak. Yang biasa tengok orang yang ok ok je tanpa cinta tu, sebab dia dah terima hakikat.
It takes 2 to tango. Lain la kalau joget lambak,
Jadah apa pulak joget lambak berdua.
Kalau saya boleh tabur benih benih kebahagiaan macam fairy tu, dah lama dah terjun tiruk dalam tu.
Apapun, kita kena sedar diri.
Ukur baju dekat badan sendiri.
Jangan sampai pipi tersorong, dapat?

Platonic love
This term is widely used tetapi dengan pemahaman yang sikit terpesong.
Although it does describe love without desire or physical attraction, it was initially referring to same sex relationship.
Macam bromance.
Contoh ayat : Sherlock’s love towards his roommate, Watson is totally platonic.
Term ni keluar masa zaman Plato, Socrates.
Agaknya masa zaman tu memang perlu la kot. Nak bezakan type of love. Walaupun sesama jenis. *shrug*

Holloween Costume party di pejabat
Untuk menerangkan kenapa kami anak Malaysia tiba tiba menganjurkan keraian holloween sedangkan kita malaysian tak mengamalkan kepercayaan/amalan ni. Saya kena go all the way to the beginning.
Politik dan drama pejabat memang ada dekat semua tempat. Cuma besar atau tak aja isunya.
Di tempat saya agak ‘memberangsangkan’ jugak lah.
Dan saya terpalit sama atas sebab professionalism yang ditafsirkan oleh individu-individu dengan cara tersendiri.
Tapi saya ok. Sebab saya rasa hak saya sebagai pekerja untuk bersikap professional.
Setengah tempat kena rasuah. Setengah tempat kena ‘harassment’. Setengah tempat kena buli.
Tempat saya cuma lack of professionalism and good working etiquette. And manners. Dalam bahasa pasar, habit kiss ass.
And ada beberapa initiative yang diusahakan oleh beberapa kumpulan staff to improve these situation.
Saya pulak mengepalai kumpulan yang bertanggungjawab untuk improve our working process. Specifically, ours.
And another one is improving our relationship with others, in the same team.
Sekerap mungkin, kumpulan ini akan cari acara yang boleh dibuat dengan bajet seciput boleh. Kita dah start sejak ogos-merdeka, september-1 malaysia, oktober-deepavali.
Kebetulan oktober jugak ada holloween yang jugak disambut di headquarter kami di San Diego.
Majoriti kami adalah non-malay, mereka jugak mahu menurut serta dalam Holloween-Theme parti.
Nak dijadikan cerita lah kan. Sorang ni amik karakter Wednesday Addams.
Dia pergi sana sini dengan senyap dan cuma berdiri je sampai orang perasan dan cringe at her sight.
Dia berdiri sebelah team lead saya tapi beliau tak perasan sebab pakai tengah shopping online sambil dengar lagu pakai headfon. (See what i am dealing with on daily basis?!)
Tiba tiba dia toleh dan nampak si Wednesday Addams jadian ni, terus menjerit macam horror movie!
Sumpah scary. Sumpah jeritan dia sebijik macam dalam movie. Sumpah kitorg semua yang dengar pun betul betul ingat dia nampak hantu ke apa jadah.
Semua hampir kena minor heart attack.
Betul betul dapat feel day of the dead?

Lemon to lemonade
Saya rasa saya adelah orang yang paling kerap tukar kerja dalam kalangan kawan dan taulan.
2011, penghujung 2012, awal 2015, dan hujung 2017.
4 kerja dalam masa 7 tahun.
Bukan memilih sangat.
Kerja pertama tukar sebab syif malam. Nak tukar jadi siang.
Kerja kedua sebab peribadi. Jiwa kacau. Nak sangat balik kerja dekat kampung konon.
Kerja ketiga ni? Walaupun hampir cecah 3 tahun bertahan. Tapi beralih jugak bila dapat tawaran kerja baru. Sebab paling cliche. Demi kestabilan masa depan.
Harap harap kerja keempat ni tahan la at least 5 tahun ke atas la.
Tadi baru lepas baca iium confession.
Macam krik krik kejap.
Saya fikir saya dah lepas fasa fasa genting kot. Tapi masih ada rasa ketakpastian masa depan.
Tapi takpe sebab sekarang, dah ada hala tuju. At least at the moment.
Urusan rumah hampir selesai, tinggal nak buat payment sahaja.
Urusan lain lain tu tak mampu nak fikir buat masa ni. Pelan pelan kayuh la. Penat. Setahun ni banyak gilalah urusan rasmi.
Khamis haritu sorang kawan lama yang tak contact sejak tahun lepas, tiba tiba mesej balik.
Bila tanya apasal. Dapat reply : dah taknak kawan aku ke.
Saya cuma mampu ignore saja soalan tu.
Sebab dalam hati ni nak cakap bnda yang boleh rosakkan friendship hampir 10 tahun dalam sekelip mata.
Tapi tak adil kalau saya letakkan dia dalam kedudukan tu. Bukan salah dia.
Kemudian saya update semua perkembangan saya dalam masa setahun. Catching up.
Setel. Orang dah tanya, kita jawab jela. Buatnya orang dah taknak amik tahu. Jangan merungut pulak nanti.
Kan.

Night shift. Again.
Kerja pertama yang saya dapat lepas grad, kerja di shif malam, untuk US region.
Lepas tu, semu kerja yang saya mohon dan pergi interview, saya clarified with interviewers, no shift please.at all.
Despite all my cautionary actions, i still ended up here. At 2.08am supporting US team during quarter end.
Sitting here in front of my pc where nobody else i know outside these walls are awake.
Except for the ones that is still in IBM CMR team.
I have mixed feeling doing these. Good and bad experience.
Saya suka rasa ni. No crowds. The world feels empty, in a good way.
Kita cenderung untuk amik masa muhasabah diri, fikir masa lalu, masa sekarang, masa depan.
Termenung, berfikir dan berangan pada masa yang sama.

Life lesson
It might seems idealistic but having the same level of maturity when having an argument help us understand the other party's point of view.
Hard, yes, if not, I wouldn't deem it as idealistic in the first sentence.
When both are mature enough, we are willing to at least try to listen to others, making ourselves available to options and open to a new world of possibility.
But then, we can't and/or won't have this EVERYTIME. That would be selfish,no?
What I was trying to say is, what if we are unfortunate enough to have to deal with someone who has less willingness to compromise? Or maybe even refuse to listen to reason?
What if the other party's IQ level is lower? No common sense? (Haha)
Or just plain selfish?
Honestly, I am the type that always wanted to listen what do people have to say.
But, if I don't, it means I have already given up. On making any effort.

My Precious
Satu daripada kucing saya masih dalam kategori anak kucing,
Badan kecik, mata amik hampir separuh ruang kepala, macam tu.
This particular one, suka just stares at people passing by.
Saya bagitahu Nani, itu agak creepy. Macam 'my precious'.
Nani confused, 'my precious'?
Saya lupa istilah gollum.
Rupanya Nani dan mak saya tak pernah tengok Lord of the Ring. Not their kind of movies.
Oh takpe. Saya pun tak. Saya cuma tengok filem tu secara marathon masa saya di tahun kedua di UKM sebab my ex-boyfriend at that time had the entire series of movies and wanted me to watch it so we could be a fan together. I agreed on a condition that he should watch Harry Potter as well. (I had a feeling he never actually hold up his end of bargain)
Since saya pun macam tak boleh nak terangkan apa itu gollum, the most sensible thing for me to do is search 'gollum' dalam youtube, pick the one that mostly shows apa itu 'gollum' and why its creepy to have one in the house.
What else?

Werk werk werk werk werk derk.
Saya baru perasan saya tak pernah betul betul share pasal apa aktiviti saya untuk dapat duit hari hari.
Kerja, ok? Kerja.
Damn. Sebut kerja pun sebenarnya dah stress. What the hel.
#positivevibes
#tamparkarang
Apparently, nak letak # dalam excel untuk remove function ctrl+f adelah tidak boleh.
Ayat apa ni sarah hoi.
Saya dengan rakan sekerja tengah usahakan documentation untuk mudahkan kerja sehari hari kami.
Bertahun tahun rupanya takda proper work instruction. Ingatkan tertanam di mana mana. Rupanya, haram..!
Jadi saya dengan kawan kawan nak buat something yang lebih tech savvy. I mean. Kamon.
Ctrl+f? So last yearrrrr..!
Sekali lagi, #tamparkarang.
Kerja ketiga saya ni saya dah almost 3 tahun. Saya start bekerja sejurus selepas habis internship program, september 2011. Sampai harini (di samping 'cuti tanpa gaji' buat beberapa bulan)
Its a good year. Rumah hampir berjaya.. Alhamdulillah.
Allah janji rezeki.

Melancoli-a
It feels like it is wrong, but i know it is not. I have faith that things happen for a reason.
I am supposed to be here at this moment, feeling this ache in my heart.
To learn more about my capability as a strong person.
I have faith that everything will work out just as it should be.
I am sure i have never share my deepest honest dream in any of my relationships.
Who I want to be as a person.
And I think I know now why.
Honestly?
No one ever asked.

Mood : Jurang mariana
sekali lagi terjaga early morning. Very early for a working day.
Tapi saya terjaga sebab saya baru mimpi benda paling best sekali dalam dunia.
Kemudian terjaga dan sedar yang mimpi tu takkan jadi kenyataan. Sebab situasi.
Perasaan tersedar tu macam wake up call yang sangat melemahkan semangat. Macam terjatuh ke lubang paling dalam. Menyebabkan ketakstabilan emosi dan kesudahannya stress. Jadah apa kan.
Rest assured it was not about the past, it was the future i will never have.
Unless, kun fayakun. InsyaAllah.
Memandangkan dah terjaga ni,bangun terus lah buat slide untuk meetig dengan director tengah hari nanti. Macam orang penting je kan? Haha!

personal review : the secret life of walter mitty
The Secret life of walter mitty
I went to the cinema with someone (cant recall who) and he/they picked to watch this.
Its a ben stiller's so naturally for me to think its a romcom. And boy was i wrong.
It started with walter (obviously) 's boring routine life. And his company was acquired.
Slowly people were let go and he knew he was going to be next. He tried avoiding the 'dick' that was hired to fire people. Irony. But it doesn't work. See,the company is going to operate online so most of the departments were shut down. Opss i forgot to mention, it was LIFE magazine publication company. So imagine more than half of them were let go.
The day the staffs were informed of the acquisition,Walter's negative assets deparment received the last roll of negative from their freelance photographer, Sean o'connell.
With that package he sent a note :Number 25 is my best ever. The quintessence of life, i think. I trust you'll get it where it needs to go, you always do.
But they (the negative assets department) couldnt find it.
And he found out that it was supposed to be the last cover of LIFE. Bc you know, now with digital world taking over human kind sort of thing.
The photographer then sent telegram to the director - i expect full consideration of negative 25 for cover. My most grand, the quintessence of life.
Now thats a problem.
Walter first thought obviously tracking down sean's whereabouts.
And when he couldn't, he searched for clues in the negatives itself. From number 24 and 26. He was thinking maybe 24 & 26 were taken around the same time and if luck have it, place.
He also tried to hv some helps from his crush, coz the girl was working in accounting dept - tracking the payment address of sean.
With all that happening in his life, a memento from his dad (a journal for world touring) gave him the ideas of tracking sean himself. Hoping that that piece was still with the guy.
Clues from photo : erkigsnek
Places he went : greenland, iceland,yemen, afganistan
The whole film was about walter going on all these 'adventures' he was only able to dream of, before.
Soundtrack : Space Oddity by David Bowie. very cool song. I downloded the song as soon as I left the cinema.
Ending : The negative was cut off. It was in the wallet that Sean gave to Walter as a gift all these time. It was a picture of walter looking through a bunch of negatives in front of LIFE's building. Apparently, after 16 years of working alongside Walter, Sean regards Walter as the most important sidekick in LIFE. The only one who was always able to bring his photos 'into LIFE'. Double or triple meaning there.
P/S: i really really really appreciate these kinds of movies. They dont do these as much these days. But i wasnt sure that my friend/s enjoyed this as much as i did.
