Awful Day when Car Break Down

I was driving my auntie's car back to home town, she want my dad to check it out. But the car broke down!! While driving, from rear mirror, I can see smoke appear from somewhere, and the temperature meter pointing at high level. I approached the rest area and park the car. I got out from car at once, gosh.. smoke came out from engine. I was so worried the car will caught on fire, stayed a safe distance from car. I called my dad at once. Oh no.. can not reach him through cell phone or workshop's phone. Sob sob.. I was so helpless, watching the smoke out from car, squat at roadside. Called mom, and she help me to contact dad. Shortly, dad called back and tried to check with me what was happening to the car. Sigh.. he asked me to wait for 30 minutes for engine to cool down, then open the bonnet to check if water tank was empty. Wait there??!!! I wanted to cry... I was asking if he can come to me soon. The answer was so disappointed, said lots of works at workshop, you wait there first." I know my dad, when he said wait, it mean hours. :'( It was just another 20 minutes away, before I can exit from highway, but why do I need to wait for hours?

What a bad luck day for me. :( I called mom again, asked if she able to fetch me instead. Okie, she checked with dad, finally, dad agreed to come to me ASAP. In those few phone conversations, I told them my location, I repeated for 10 times!!! They never pay attention to me, as usual!!! I was so fed up!!!

Think positively, luckily I was at the rest area, there are food stalls, toilets and people around. I bought some food for breakfast. While waiting, I used laptop to watch drama at the rest hut. So boring, SMS friends. Ha! Friend replied to check if I was OK. Erm... my parent never ask me if I am OK or not, but friend do care of me. pity uh... After 1 hour plus, mom called, "hey, dad will go there now." uh?? Still not come yet? haih.. As expected, the rescue is far far away... Another call from friend to checking in my situation, feel warm a bit. After 2 hours, finally, rescue arrived. Dad checked the car, the water tank was broken, the car need to be tow.

View quite nice at rest area, gloomy day, raining soon.

My breakfast and entertainment while waiting for the rescue.

What a day. I departed from Penang at 8am, I reached home at 12.45pm. Normally, the journey will only take 1.5 hours. The first thing mom said to me, "Luckily you were driving the car." Luckily??!! @#$%^&* Am I suppose to be in trouble for them?? Am I suppose to involve in all the troublesome chaos? Can't the car send to mechanic in BM to check it out? Wgy need to drive along way back to Alor Setar? Am I suppose to feel so helpless and weeping at the rest area, and no one care of me??!!! Before I took the car from my auntie, I double check with her, if the car in good condition to reach Alor Setar. She very sure no problem. Sigh.. I am so bad luck, or I bring the bad luck?? Parent, aunties and neighbors were in good mood, buying 4D of the car plate and wish to win. This is what they care about, I have been left out!!!

Waiting for Specialist

I had a follow up medical check up of my thyroid symptom. The blood report is good. :) Previous visit to the hospital, I had spent 5 hours there for doctor consultation. This time break the record, 6 hours!!! I was in the hospital at 7.30am. The registration was started at 7am, I thought I was pretty earlier, but after I got my number, the registrar told me, my estimated time of consultation was 11:55am... oh no, have to wait so long... again???!!! Sigh... I went to their cafeteria to have breakfast. They serve vegetarian food only. I had porridge and soya bean milk, light breakfast, so that I won't fill too stuffy when sit and waiting. Read newspaper to pass my time. Buddy called me at 10.30am... haha.. just about time, I was so bored, we went for Lor Mee at Burmah Road, inside Kedai Kopi Hai Beng . The serving was fast, within 3 minutes after order. :P Or maybe at that moment, not many customer. Buddy was very tempted to try this Lor Mee few weeks ago, finally we had it. You can...

Weakening

Why I always have endless tasks on hands? One haven't done, boss assigned another one. And the next day, assigned a new task again, seems like he forgot I still have non completed assignment. :( Oh ya hor.. He recalled, "never mind, that one can wait, do this first." Oh oh.. I hate that excuse. Wait wait wait... eventually, I need to complete them somehow. The longer the time, the more tasks accumulate. He never consider how many effort I needed to complete the task, always think I can do magic, all task can be completed by fingers click. I extended my working hours, try to complete the assignment by the end of the day. Everyday, I will have to deal with many unexpected issues, if I do not solve them within a day, the next day might have new issues, and next and next.... arghhhhh.... headache.... I am so tired, I feel so weak, mentally and emotionally weak. Recently, people around me keep on telling me that I look so pale. I think I really look terrible. I know...

太委屈

工作受委屈了,心情低落到谷底。在办公室强忍着泪水,把手头上的案子都处理好后,已经快九点钟了。开着车,终于崩溃了,一路哭着回家,一直哭到深夜。没好睡,隔天起身,心情还无法平复。回老家的路上,泪水还是断断续续的。 一朝得志,就忘恩忘本。上司曾经走过我现在这个阶段的路,但他似乎已经忘了这工作程序,竟然质疑我的能力,认为我不尽责。火爆了,别人可能不了解,但他是过来人,竟然不了解我的工作制度!!! 我不知道我还可以撑多久。。。 回老家,有家人在身边,感觉好多了。虽然,我不会对父母提起工作的委屈,但,有家人在身边,我不会觉得孤独。
