Why the long spell of silence? MIHAS punya pasal la. I have really been very busy preparing for the Malaysia International Halal Showcase 2008 at Matrade from 7th to 11th May 2008.
I was at Matrade Convention Centre on the 6th at 3.30pm ready to set up my stand. However, I waited until 10pm and the booth was still not ready for me to move in. No prize for guessing how pissed off I am for wasting my time there when I could have used the time for something more constructive than waiting. There was a point that I can't stand it anymore, I started to assemble the chairs and table myself together with my colleagues. The work at the stand was not finished on time because one of the workers got electrocuted earlier and fell from the ladder. I panicked and I didn't know which number is for calling the ambulance. Lucky the organisers arranged it and sent him to the hospital!
If that was bad, I had worse that night. As I was leaving the hall and went into my car, I was searching frantically for my handphone and I couldn't find it. I panicked again and try tracing back my route and back to the hall to look for it. I repeated the route 3 times with a torch light and I finally gave up. I asked one of the contractors to call my phone to see whether has anyone picked up my phone. Fortunately, my phone was still ringing but no one picked it up. I showed him the way back to my car and when I opened the car door, I heard my phone ringing! It was lying in between my passenger's seat on the left! I thank him profusely and then drove home.
On the way home, driving along the highway, I couldn't contain my tears and it kept on rolling down my cheeks. I was on the phone with my boyfriend and for the first time, I cried on work. I kept on crying and crying until a point that I can't even see the signboards. All I saw was vague green boards and lights of the oncoming cars. It was my first time driving at night from Jalan Duta and I wasn't familiar with the place. He asked me whether I was alright, and whether I knew my way home. I didn't know my way home but I kept on driving and crying. That was my breaking point because my work burden was so heavy and it felt like it's all on me. I didn't know how long I could hold on to the boulder but I know it's either do or die. I have no choice but to suffer in silence. I blamed myself for this situation and if only I have more free time, I would have seriously searched for a new job. The thing is, I was so tied up with work and too engrossed in meeting the datelines, I loose foresight of my future direction. I shouldn't say more because my colleagues are reading this. Period.
