Finally…I arrived!!!!

Now, let s went back to the situation where Swinburne and me were stuck at LCCT.

Since both of us ran out of money, clothes and food; basically we are totally at our deepest moment ever. So there we are, starving and thirsty thinking our way to overcome the situation.

Swin called Miss L to inform her about our current situation. Apparently, her sister was on the flight that we suppose to broad. But by the time her sister knew about it, it was already too late. If not, taking her quote from Miss L, “I would take them at my next flight”.

As for Mr. Constitution, he actually done nothing to help us during the most devastative moment ever faced by both of us. Yes, I do realize if he was there with us he could do something but HE WASN’T THERE.

Mdm. Constitution was actually really worried about both of us. I mean both of us stuck in a foreign land with no money or clothes. She felt terrible for the situation that both of us were facing then.

Hence, since both of us are basically stuck at LCCT, we must figure out an idea on how to return to UiTM Shah Alam. This is due to the phone call that Swin made after we missed our flight. He said that if we went back to UiTM Shah Alam, Hafiz would take care of us; mind you that he actually lost his pet two days before he moved to his new house.

My mother called me two hours after we missed the flight stating that she already banked in RM100 to Swin’s account. Without wasting any time, Swin withdraw the money and by using that money we manage our way to UiTM Shah Alam. We took the bus and taxi with the overall amount of RM49.

When we arrived, the Novice Cup tournament has already started. By the time we reached at the Engineering Faculty building, we are already in the peak of frustration for what so ever reason that put us in the situation at the first place.

Swin were at his the most down moment in his life during that time. Imagine this; when he went to the tournament room and everyone greeted him, he just stares at them and don’t reply those greets. He faced Hafiz and he told Swin to wait him at the building’s car place.

By them time Hafiz said that to him, Swin went berserk. His gone mad towards everyone; me, Miss L, Fuad, Mr. Constitution, Hafiz and such. But I understand his emotion during that time. I don’t blame him. Even Fuad also do understand; no doubt upon that.

When Hafiz sent us to Kolej Perindu, Swin and I straight away went to the room and make ourselves calm. I bought a brush and a wash soap to wash the dirty clothes. And since both of us ran out of clothes to wear, we went to Wisma PKNS to buy some new clothes.

Both of us waiting for bus to UiTM after doing some 'shopping'

During the night, the other debaters from other campuses are quite surprised to see us. We told them what happened and basically, they just said “You guys are quite good at wasting government's money”. *laugh*

The next day, we woke up quite late and headed our way. Mind you that our minds are quite clear compared to yesterday. Since both of us already miss a lot of stuff that we suppose to do when we return to Kuching BY THAT TIME, we do our study and research in the Novice Cup operation room. When the tournament has ended its semi-final, Hafiz told us to book flying tickets back to Kuching. Since there were no flight ticket on Sunday available, I picked the opt to booked the ticket going back on Monday exactly at 6.40 p.m. The reason I did that is because if I book the ticket early in the morning like the previous one, there is a chance that both of us would miss the flight again.

So on the day of the flight, both of us woke up early and packed our bags. To avoid the same mistake being done; we told Hafiz that our flight is at 5.00 p.m. He arrived and we said goodbye to Fuad who have the sincerity to be with us throughout the day we missed our flight till the day of our departure.

Thank you Fuad for your companion during those hard moments. I'll remember it till death

Taking a picture with Yellow Coverageman before I leave the UiTM ground

We checked in early but something happened. Taking Swin’s quote, “Either the airplane hates us or Shah Alam loves us so much”. Due to the technical problem faced by the plane that we already board in, we have to change to another plane. It took us at least one hour before the airplane started to fly.

When we arrived at Kuching, I almost burst to tears when I saw my mother and brother waiting for me at the arrival gate. Swin and I headed to our own way; he went home and I headed to UiTM.

*the end*

Basically, that the story of us being stranded in Shah Alam for five days and I have to agree with Swin that this is the worst moment that we ever had. We also could not blame ourselves if we are traumatic for another flight again. Have to be note that the Malaysian Open will be held in Malacca next week. NO!!!!!!!!!

P/S: Mr. Constitution is having a depressed moment with the Financial Unit right now concerning to the flight ticket that we supposed to board in. Hehehe..

Keletihan...

Disebabkan hari ini ialah hari Jumaat, maka aku akan menulis kiriman dalam bahasa Malaysia. Bukannya apa, tiap-tiap hari aku speaking letih jugak tau. Dah la kiriman pun dalam bahasa Inggeris; nanti bahasa ibunda aku jugak yang berkarat karang.

Aku sekarang ni kat UiTM Shah Alam; Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak 2 (PTAR2) secara terperinci. Memang aku letih gila babi tahap gaban punya.

Bayangkan, sampai kat Lapangan Terbang Antarangbangsa Kuching (KIA) pukul 8 pagi. Dah tu pulak belum pekena sarapan pagi lagi! Nak memburukkan keadaan pulak bila penerbangan tu pukul 9.30 pagi dan selamat tiba di Terminal Penerbangan Murah (LCCT) hampir jam 11.00 pagi. Dah tu terpaksa secara bergesa-gesa pergi UiTM Shah Alam kerana mesyuarat untuk pemilihan peserta bagi Debat ASEAN akan bermula jam 3.00 petang.

Dah sampai tu, bertemu lak dengan Fuad; kawanku kat UiTM Kota Samarahan dulu. Sementara menunggu pejabat Kolej Perindu buka, Nizam, Fuad dan aku pergi makan tengahari sekejap. Selepas tu bila nak daftar bilik, kunci yang disediakan oleh pihak kolej hilang dari meja diorang. Nizam dan aku macam, "Apa kejadah semuanya ni? Dah la nak berebut pergi mesyuarat lepas ni". Jadi aku pun tunggu dan akhirnya bilik dah ada tapi kunci pulak tak ada.

Jadi kami berdua tinggalkanlah beg kita orang kat bilik Fuad sekejap. Lepas tu Nizam tersemput-semput berjalan pasal bilik mesyuarat kat Kolej Seroja tu jauh sangat. Aku yang bekas atlet jalan kaki selamba jer berjalan.

Nizam tak der bilik kerana apabila aku balik kembali ke bilik, ada tiga orang mamat ni yang telah mengambil 3/4 katil. Jadi katil yang tinggal aku yang punya lah. Nizam pulak tinggal dalam bilik Fuad. Kepada Nizam, aku minta maaf banyak-banyak. Aku tak berniat pun.

Bila dah sampai, kita orang membuat pilihan secara rawak untuk kedudukan dalam kumpulan debat berserta dengan ahli kumpulan. Aku dapat kumpulan dua dengan kedudukan sebagai pendebat penjawab; ketiga la. Tambahan pulak, aku sama kumpulan dengan teman lelaki Sarah Yasmin!!!! Gembiranya aku !!!! (aku gembira kerana aku bersama dengan orang yang penting dalam hidup Sarah Yasmin. Korang jangan nak fikir macam-macam pulak, okay?). Dalam kedua-dua pusingan debat tu, aku kekal dengan kedudukan aku sedangkan semua orang lain bertukar posisi. Dah la aku berlawan dengan budak Kelab Debat UiTM Shah Alam, jadi korang tau lah macam mana perasaan gabra dan gementar aku ketika memberi ucapan. Tapi alhamdulillah, semunya berjalan lancar cuma diantara semua pendebat yang terlibat, aku sorang je yang tak memberi "Kenyataan Pemberitahuan" (P.O.I).

Habis je debat, aku dan tiga orang pendebat dari mana ntah pergi bilik dan tidur. Pagi tadi aku bangun pukul 5.45 pagi dan menyelesaikan tugasan yang diberi oleh lecturer subjek bahasa Inggeris aku; BEL 311 Term Paper.

Lepas jer siap, aku pun menghantar kepada pensyarah aku melalui e-mail. Nasib baik dia boleh bertolak-ansur dengan aku. Kalau tak, melayang 10 markah.

Nizam pulak pergi ke MidValley dengan pendebat dari Sabah; Azel namanya. Aku pun apa lagi, rasa terasing lah. Pasal aku sorang-sorang, tak kenal sesiapa dan macam-macam lagilah. Dah lah kecantikan sini aku boleh umpamakan sebagai species yang terancam. Aku nak balik UiTM Kota Samarahan!!!!!

P/S: Terus-terang aku ingin menyatakan disini bahawa aku hampir-hampir nak menangis kerana terlalu rindukan rumah (kampung halaman ler). Aku nak balik hari ni jugak!!! Aku tak kira!!!! Aku tak nak disebabkan debat ni, aku menangis. Taubat aku tak nak kembali ke UiTM Shah Alam balik. Aku rindukan rumah!!!!
