Day 9: Sunny Sunday

 9 June 2022

It has been 9 days i make Pengerang my 2nd home. Never imagine many years ago i will be here, far away from my hometown. Sound like i am overseas. Living here is not only about work. There are plenty stuff to do but Sunday, as lazy as i am no mater where i lived, i prefer to stay at home. Doing house chores, removing rubbish, pick up my stock of mineral waters from my car. i still have 1.5 boxes to go. cause so heavy, i pick up in staggered. 

Open my windows and sliding doors to feel the fresh air. I love fresh air. so good. The sunset today seems beautiful. Didn't manage to watch entirely but see that no cloud blocking the sun. Finish ironing my clothes for 2 days.

mop my floor with serai wangi again. so many ants. 

continue working. plan to stop by 930pm and prepare for tomorrow. 

night

 

Day 8: Weekend Has Come

8 Jan 2022

It's weekend at last. So many thing happened in 1 week. try to assimilate with the weather and to stay healthy. Still working late until thursday night. plan to swim on friday but the pool was under maintenance. back to room. prepare for work. Got my office at last. 

Friday feel so tiring. Settle a few ad hoc work and sleep by 10pm. reached home after quick dinner at the dining hall and start sweeping my floor and wash the bathroom. pack the laundry for tomorrow and sleep. Long sleep at last. 

Wake up and try to get some breakfast at dining but nothing there. bought kopi tarik and then nasi lemak bungkus at the small cafe while waiting for my laundry. The dryer is old one. i have to spin 2.5x to get it dried. 1st time, not so dry. 2nd, most of it dry. and i took out most of it and put a few like towel and shirt to spin again. 1 cycle 24 min. so i spent 24+24+10 min for drying my cloth. wash perhaps lot lesser. took 1 cycle only. maybe 20min. 

and then about 11am plus i drive out to Bandar Penawar. Plan to go to Penawar and Sg Rengit to have coffee but i am afraid i will miss my prayer, so i rush back at 2pm +. manage to go to Mr DIY and Penawar. Bought groceries at Maslee. And then drive to Speedmart Bukit Pelali for mineral water and fuel up gas at Petronas next to it. 

Reach MG3 safe and sound. 

Reach home and notice more ant in the house. sweep and wipe again with Serai Wangi. Unpack stuff. and late lunch. i bought cakes just now and durian creep. cant wait to have it as dinner. 

will arrange my washed laundry into the wardrobe at night. now feel sleepy but seems The Bucket List wasnt that bad. i, conicidently have my own groceries list for today's outing. 

Btw, when i reach the town, i feel like crying. cause the town is small. so much smaller than KL and even Rawang. huhu. feel like crying and missing my mom. Living and working in the complex is not that hard. cause it is still has the working environment. not so much if u work anywhere. but going outside the complex with all the kampung environment surrounding this area. i feel so far away from home. 

Can't wait to go back next week. 

Chiow.

Day 1/2022: My Life in Pengerang

My life in Pengerang. Day 1. 

1 Jan 2022

This is a second time i ever been away from my hometown due to working commitment. First time when i received a job from Accountant Negara in putrajaya back in 2008. 

In 2019, i try to find a job in Johor, almost nailed it but no rezki at that time. Eventually, in 2020 i grab a job in our beloved OnG company. Still based in KL. after almost 2 years, i, with Godwill arrived in Johor to start a new life here and insyaAllah progress my career. 

Today is Saturday. I drove from KL to JB on 30 Dec 2021. Meeting a few friends in HRC Puteri Harbour on 30th and 31st Dec 2021. Btw, HRCPH is still new. Open a week ago. So expect long queue. I stayed 2 nights in Holiday Villa. Love the hotel. And check out on 1st Jan 2022 heading to Pengerang. Alhamdulillah the journey was smooth until i loss my way to RG3 instead of MG3. The moment i saw MG1..omg..this is not the right route. 

Then drive 10km back to MG3. Alhamdulillah. Arrived safely but head already hot. And, as expected XX forgot to submit my name to the Security Office. I text them, email them. no help at all. Expect everything went well perfectly. Lost my temper and call one of the boss here. Eventually, they allow me in after confirm here and there. 

After that, i check in. Have to wait a few minutes but i am fine. I am tired already. They said i can park my car next to the room. No need to go back to hilly parking. Thank God. Good room. Take 30 minutes + to unloaded all my luggage (2 luggage, 1 box, 10 1 bedding bag, 1 laptop bag, 1 hotel bag, 1 pillow, 1 set baju, 6-7 shopping bag, 1 book basket, 1 umbrella and shoes). and i still have a lot in my sister trunk. 

Unpack my stuff, clean my bathroom and pantry. But didnt finish sweeping the floor and wardrobe. feel wardrobe too small for me. only 3 doors. i used to live with 6 doors of wardrobe. 

After shower and perform prayers, went for dinner at the clubhouse. someone so generous treat me with dinner. Alhamdulillah. kenyang. Semoga dimurahkan rezki. 

Exhausted. Need to sleep early tonight. 

XOXO
