Misadventure With My Love

ok ini cerita seminggu yang lepas. tapi harus jugak cerita sebab bermakna.

hari sabtu, hari yolo aku. kenapa? sebab aku balik sendiri dari shah alam ke kl weh! cukup yolo la tu, gawd. ini kali kedua balik sengsorang lepas balik beraya ngan member haritu. tapi tu pun jumpa kengkawan dekat kl sentral, so just berdikari cari teksi gi ktm naik ktm. tapi kalini berdikari dari cari teksi, gi ktm, naik ktm, tukar kl sentral naik lrt pulak, sampaila turun kat klcc. 

jap kenapa klcc? 

ok ni nak cerita ni. 

tujuan aku sanggup bersusah payah balik sendiri sebab aku nak gi kinokuniya. tau tak sebenarnya nak balik kl lagi susah daripada balik kedah?! kataku kepada kawan kedahku. kedah beli tiket bas, cari seat, duduk, settle. tido bangun balik pun tak tentu sampai. which is good. i love long road trips. tapi nak balik kl kena naik teksi, ktm, lrt, ha apa lagi. stesyen ktm, kl sentral, stesyen lrt, berapa pit stop cuba kira. macam aku haritu tertido jap je bila bukak mata dah satu stesyen sebelum kl sentral. nasib baik terjaga, kalau terlepas satu hal. tido pun tak tenang tau tak. rasa cam lagi rela ikut wani balik kedah haritu daripada balik kl lol.

eh kat mana tadi? ha gi kino. tujuan bersusah payah nak adalah untuk beli hasil karya penulis, penyajak, pelukis yang aku suka gilaaa, Lang Leav. buku dia baru beberapa hari sampai malaysia, and only available at kinokuniya. masa aku dapat tau dah ada kat malaysia, teruja tak terkata ha biar gambar berbicara:

i was the one who discovered her. through my sharing of my love for her work, more people acknowledged her existence and talents. so of course i felt like i had the right to be the first one to own her book, being her first fan among my friends. even if i wasn't the first one i'd appreciate people buying it for me using my own money and i certainly did not appreciate people buying it without telling then flaunting, oops telling me when it's too late. but oh well, whatever. this is what a reader is like, we get jealous because of books. the love of a literature lover :)

so itu yang kemaruk nak ke kino tu sampai sanggup buat apa yang tak pernah dibuat sebelum ni. aku memang yolo haritu sebab aku taktau arah tuju. tetiba je, eh nak balik sendiri lah. nak gi klcc. pastu gi mana pulak sampai bila dengan siapa? entah. tengoklah camne. barulah adventurous sikit rasa hidup ni lulz. 

being independent going back home using public transport: officially a college student

aku dah plan sebenarnya nak selfie dari bosan dalam perjalanan sampai bahagia bila Love & Misadventure dalam genggaman. nampakla step by step journey tu, jerit perih dilalui demi sebuah buku. lol. shah alam and kl sentral jauh jugak, time tu jugaklah battery phone aku nak low. what. kalau mati camne. takpe, kate yolo. memang dah nak habis time tu, so tak dapat dengar lagu. mp3 pulak tak bawak, akibat kabut packing tak sampai sepuluh minit. kuar shah alam pun dah 3 petang, sape tak kabut. last-last aku tertido. cara terbaik to kill the time. tetiba je dah sampai. terus beli token lrt, pastu lapar gila sebab tak makan dari pagi. maka ke burger king, dengan beg semua. terasa dewasa. ni bukan yolo ni poyo. aku sebenarnya suka jalan sengsorang sebab ni la, aku boleh pergi mana-mana aku nak makan pape aku suka hehe.

naik lrt, cam biasa bersesak-sesak sesama manusia. tetiba je aku dah kat ceruk tepi pintu, dikelilingi laki. depan aku sorang pakcik omputeh. typicial tourist look: seluar pendek, t-shirt putih, spek hitam, peta.

him: a bit crowded in here aren't we?

me: yeaa it's normal *senyum

him: normal?! *terkejut

me: of course, it's weekend

him: oh yeah, friday isn't it

me: no... it's saturday

him: saturday?! oh haha, how would i know right, i'm an immigrant!

me: heheh *senyum

him: just got back from work?

me: no, actually i'm a college student, going back to my hometown

him: oh got a day off? holiday?

me: just for the weekend *lupa ada raya haji haha

him: china town is around here right?

me: er i'm not quite sure... usually i just go straight to my hometown from college, sooo

him: you don't really know the places around here, don't really go anywhere do you?

me: heheh *senyum

me: where are you from?

him: i'm from new zealand

me: oh! which part of new zealand?

him: wellington, in the south

me: i've been in wellington once!

him: really??

me: yeah, nice place. i went there only for a holiday trip, tho

him: yeah, yeah. ok this is me. maybe you can let me out...

me: oh yeah, ok *awkwardly ke tepi beri laluan untuk dia kuar 

him: thanks yeah!

aku rasa sangat berjaya menjadi contoh rakyat malaysia. poyo lagi. tapi yelah. while i was talking to him people just looked at me... some stared, some smiled. mesti dia rasa local people friendly sebab dahlah aku asyik senyum je hew hew. blah ah baru sembang ngan omputeh sikit nak kecoh. there's another story regarding another omputeh....

after that pakcik stepped out, came in another omputeh. hey young fella u hella hensem. don't you like, want to ask me for direction or something...? no? ok. then we arrived at klcc, we were the first two people who went out, not being creepy, just happened to share the same destination. before i knew it, i was where i was not familiar with, and with less people than it usually is. where was everyone?... and i saw it. i unconsciously followed him to the alley leading to jalan ampang instead of the one to klcc. the feeling when you had to turn around and go down the escalator as all eyes were on you.

i swear i was not being creepy.

eh diena!

hihi sebenarnya dari shah alam lagi dah plan nak jumpa diena kat klcc. sebab selalu cakap nak jumpa, tapi takde kesempatan. almaklumlah dak degree dah jauh dah busy. asal contact je "bila nak jumpa? ada banyak cerita!" dan sesungguhnya bercerita dengan diena lebih afdhal di dunia sebenar. baru feel, pergh. aku tak expect sebenarnya diena nak join adventure aku ni lulz sebab time tu dah petang pastu dia pun kena berdikari naik lrt sendiri gi klcc untuk pertama kali. kalau ikut tahap noobnya, pape pun diena belakang aku la hahaha. seawkward-awkward aku, awkward lagi diena. tapi diena sanggup datang demi sahabat tercinta! kesat air mata.

ok gi kino. aku cari sendiri kelibat buku merah tersebut. diena cakap tanyalah staff, aku taknak. nak cari sendiri jugak. biar bermakna pengalamanku ini, dari awal sampai ke akhir berdikari. tak mengharapkan sesapa pun. diena awak dok diam-diam kat sini, belek la buku memana sementara kita cari, aku kata. satu kino tu aku pusing.... tapi takde. aku sebenarnya taknak tanya orang sebab aku takut kecewa. last-last, pergila jugak service centre.

me: excuse me, i'm looking for.... Love & Misadv-

him: ah, i'm sorry but it just sold out-

me: SERIOUSLY?!

him: yes... it will be restocked by the end of the month. i'm so sorry... *sad smile

me: ahhaaa haaa ha ahaaaa *something between laughing and crying

you can not imagine the disappointment. when he said sorry my head already fell on the counter as the worst case scenario was proven to be real. when he said sorry i could see the sympathy in his eyes maybe because he could see the eagerness in mine. he gave me a sad smile, while i was making a wailing noise like a weeping whale. seriously. my laughing and crying state continued when i told diena about it. 

"dammit! i'm one of her biggest fans in malaysia - no, cut it, i AM her biggest fan in malaysia since God knows when! just because i study in shah alam and i don't have anyone to drive me to kl and the only way to get here kena balik sendiri bila cuti, aku tak dapat beli buku dia! i hate yall so much! sibuk je yang tak minat sangat pun dia tapi sibuk nak beli! kalau tak mesti ada lagi! Leav why did you underestimate yourself of course orang nak beli bagila banyak sikit stock!" don't worry, diena is used to seeing me when my emotions get the best of me hahaha.

that totally killed my mood, as if the bag on my back didn't already kill my energy. heh.

kronologi gambar sepatutnya begini: muka bosan sengsorang dalam ktm > muka bahagia pegang Love & Misadventure > muka teruja bersama diena. tapi disebabkan hal ini,

  

  

instead of muka bahagia, jadi muka kecewa

tapi aktiviti bercerita dengan diena masih diteruskan. sebab aku penat, dan kecewa, aku yang banyak dengar dia cerita haha sebab takde mood ah bukak mulut bukak cerita sendiri.

what diena and I learnt that day was we could not keep secrets from each other. kadang-kadang terus tau, tapi buat-buat taktau dulu. kadang-kadang kantoi kemudian. apa-apa pun kejadian terkantoikan diri paling takleh blah sekali berlaku masa tunggu lrt nak balik malam tu. penat, kecewa punya pasal cerita pun lupa nak tapis, tetiba ha kauuu beru perasan dah terlepas cakap. pandang je, senyap seketika. pastu ffffuuu terlompat-lompat kat situ terus pergi peluk tiang terduduk. over ama is over.

le me camwhoring muka hepi cos dis ma blog

happy sebab masa ni makan kek kat secret recipe. weh berapa banyak kali kau makan la, memula burger king, pastu kyros kebab, pastu kek lagi... patut la happy.

lepak dengan diena best sebab dua dua kaki makan, tak rasa menyedihkan bila asyik nak makan je hahaha. those are the best things in life; food, friends, and having food and friends at the same time! aww

jadi hari tersebut dihabiskan dengan bercerita-ceriti, makan-makan dan jenjalan cari barang je. tapi semua yang aku cari takde, apakah ini petanda?! yang tak cari pulak jumpa. haaa apa maksudnya. 

bila kitorang nak balik dah, tengah jalan laju ni, tetiba aku dengar dari belakang "kak, dik, kak, dik, kak, dik" aku pandanglah, sebab ingat mungkin ada tercicir benda ke zip beg tak tutup ke dia nak bagitau. tapi pakcik tu ikut je kitorang. kejadah kak dik kak dik ni pulak kan, pandang diena dengan muka pelik. tau-tau je kitorang dah berhenti jalan, berdepan dengan dia. dia cakap laju gila.

something pasal "nak duit terdesak malu sangat ni tapi kena mintak jugak nanti saya kasi nombor kat awak tapi sekarang ni memang perlukan duit 6 ringgit pun jadilah" yang diulang-ulang. sebab nak cepat, aku pun ok whatever la kuarkan purse, at the same time diena pun kuarkan purse, dah kitorang dua-dua kuarkan duit, dia cakap nak 10 ringgit pulak. diena terus "eh tadi kata 6 ringgit?" HAHAHA. pastu dia bebel apa tah lagi dengan pantas, cakap sebab tadi ingat nak mintak sorang je ni dah dua orang bolehla 10 ringgit. siottt hahaha whateverla nah hambek hambek sorang limaa takyah ambik nombor aku segala aku pun taknak nombor pakcik takpe kira halal la takyah bayar balik bagai dah bye!

pastu dua dua cam wtf did i just do wth what what what. did we just give a total stranger 10 ringgit? the stranger did look distraught tho, but it's not that hard to con people nowadays. taktaulah wallahualam, husnudzon kira halal. memula aku tengok dia pun dia nampak cam orang susah, serabut and kesian... lol. macam takde duit nak balik kampung ke apa. tapi apa kau buat dalam klcc ni. kalaula dia memang tipu, kira strategi berjayala. ikut dua orang budak pompuan, cakap laju-laju kusutkan diri awkwardkan keadaan, budak pompuan malas nak layan, so kasi je la, hambek. kalau la dia jumpa sepuluh orang cam kitorang satu hari, dapat 100 woi! takpelah, kalau dia tipu, tu pun rezeki dia jugak. kitorang yang kasi. pepandai dia la nanti. kalau dia tak tipu, semoga dipermudahkanla pape masalah pakcik tu.

walaupun harini dirundung kekecewaan, kepenatan, kepelikan dan sebagainya, harini jadi bermakna kerana sahabat tercinta :') awww. jadi kronologi bergambar pun bersambungla bersama diena.

cos we're sweet like that
