Life as the Eldest Child in the House of Abasouff - Part 3

Well after 2 years in BTN, one day, one of the directors asked me whether i could type things in the computer. Why because some party needed someone to do some "data entry" jobs.

I asked him, didn't he got people with that sort of basic skills? He replied nobody wanted it as the place of work will be in KL. Why in KL? He replied "adalah keje sikik", in Kelantanese dialect. "Bekaite denge pulitik... Mende mu ndok make (meals), minum (drinks) ol teken care oredi". What about my work here & my perks or salary? Must I do it for free? He said, "never mind work here, the big boss understooded the situasi", sometimes he spoke English. There, I'll be doing the "data entry" thing for a month or so depending with the type of data that I'll be working with.

He told me to packed up my things & wait for him at the Ipoh Airport the next morning b4 6.30am coz he wants to give me something b4 he leaves for KL at 7.15am. Usually he'll briefed me & asked me to chartered the AVIS rental cars b4 going to training camps. This time the journey won't be at the training camps but to KL.

KL..??? I didn't remember or familiarised the roads there.... Normally we just passed there & our inhouse driver will drove us all to KL. How come now I have to drive myself to KL? The whole nite I couldn't slept coz thinking how am I going to arrived in KL alone in one piece.

I arrived the next morning at 6.15am sent by my younger brother, but the man aint there yet. He arrived at 6.45am, he asked me whether I've taken my breakfast, but didn't. He said we'll have breakfast in KL... What is he saying...??? 3 hours journey & having breakfast in KL... he's crazy or what...????

Aaaahhhh??? I'm aboarding the 737 flight to KL??? My mouth open wide coz I feared of altitude!! This is not 13 or 25 storey high, it's thousand of feet high on the sky maaaannnnn!!! Can't we just go there on land??? "Mende muh ni?? Kawe doh bellah-bellah kali naik tade mende gapo eih..."

So I thought, this is history for me... my first flight ever in 1996...
