Unexpected

As the saying goes, we only have the ability to plan, but whether or not those plans get executed and realized is all Allah's will. 

Went to Redang 3 weeks ago, for a break cum business trip. We went there, (we being me, Rahmat, Ag, and Ikie) practically unplanned. Just packed our bags and drove up to Terengganu. Won't bore you with the details, but I would like to point out that never in a million years I would ever expect going on trips with the guys mentioned. It is not normal, because they are not from the same ol' gang I am so used to going trips with. It isn't a bad thing, these guys are great, but that just shows how life evolves into unexpected scenarios such as these. Rahmat I only met in New Zealand,....Ikie, although a schoolmate, but never was close (like now)...and AG I only met once through Aizat, and then got closer when I started work. It didn't hit me at first, but chilling at the resort dining area, and around me was no Hafiz, the one constant road trip member...then I realized, life is changing.

The trip went well, and I can honestly say, getting away from things to talk about things is good for the mind and soul. Being on an Island makes thinking of other things and wanting to do so many things at once impossible. Discussions were good, and productive, and made things clearer, which pumped us up for things to come. But we can only plan...Half way back to KL, god tests us. Things happen, and it is up to us to get through these trying times, and accept the tests god has given us. After 2 weeks of riding through a dilemma, we have found a solution, and hopefully, it will work out.

Now, on a lighter subject, as you might have read, I have bought my first car, a Honda City. Browsing through the net, I have found this


Pretty garang isn't it. Haha. Angan2 jer ni....will take a few years before I add anything to my car which is pretty much complete inside out. But I have to say, this bodykit looks fierce, bodykit jer la, Still not sure bout those headlights.

I am leaving for NZ in less than 3 weeks. And yikes, I have much to do before then...better get on it.

Little Boy

For those reading that know me personally (which is probably the case as I doubt those who read my posts are strangers, if there are people who still read these posts), I am someone who rarely shows his emotions in public. Countless friends of Meqsu have asked her how she copes with my inability to show emotions, but she knows and I know I am a different creature around her..heh. The point is, I am known for my quiet nature.If I meet you, yes you meaning any of you, and I seem uninterested, thats just me, don't take offence, I do listen, trust me.
I have continued being emotionless despite getting my car, my second car after the legendary Toyota Celica that served me so well in New Zealand. Although I have not shown it through my facial expression, inside, I am feeling like a little boy who just got an expensive new toy. Alhamdulillah, as stated, I got my car last Wednesday and it is more relief rather than joy, but I am very happy. The car drives great (Its new, sure la great kan...but I remain optimistic nonetheless), thank god, as I didn't even test drive the car before I paid the booking fee. It was quite a spontaneous decision on my part, caused by differing opinions from friends and family. I really was set on buying a second hand car, first choice being an old school BMW, and then a used Vios, but when Mak repeatedly says to me "jangan degil, jangan beli second hand...", I conceded. I am a believer that when Mak says the same thing a few times, I better listen. 

Its a good feeling having that freedom of saying yes to any invitations and not having to ask permission from others. I am so thankful for Mak lending her car to me, which helped a lot with work. But yeah, now I feel like road tripping, haha...It was always my buddies that drove long distance, and now, I can do that.
