Dependently Independence

Assalamualaikum wbt

Since a few days back, I was like badly wanted to update this blog but eventually my laptop broke down. And this time, it was the second time my lappy seemed hating me so much. And this time, worse came to worst, it didn't work at all. As usual I have this super duper intelligent ICT guy, my brother Adnan. I called him when it was almost 1 am in Malaysia and luckily he hadn't hit bed yet.

After discussing this and that, I found out (actually he was the one who found out), that everything was because of virus! Ya rabbi. I really need my lappy for my study (really really really need it) and personal daily stuffs. I have to submit 1 research report and 1 case history by next week. Farhan (my junior) tried to format it for me but thing just didn't work well. He couldn't and the same happened to the IT sifu here, Hazwan.

I asked Nan's help to tell Emak and Ayah about this. And the next morning I texted Emak about it myself. In the afternoon, Emak replied me (after she finished her class) letting me know that Ayah already banked-in the money for me. Alhamdulillah! Thank you Emak. Thank you Ayah (eventhough my money is actually more than enough to get me a new one). But the problem was, I had no time to go and survey for the new laptop. My class that day (Tuesday) was supposed to finish at 8 pm but Alhamdulillah my lacturer ended it earlier. I rushed back home. I managed to save some times talking to my best cousin on the phone (Nisa - she's now in UIA Kuantan Campus, doing medicine as well). I haven't talked to her for almost 2 months. We both busy with our own lives (sigh). After Maghrib, I collected some of my notes, metro touch-n-go card and bus pass, stumbled everything in my bag and rushed to a well known electrical center here, Novi Cheremushky Complex. On my way to get there, I realized how empty my stomach was and how starving I was at that very second. It was my turn to cook at home that day. I cooked everything during the noon but what I cooked was black pepper beef with fried tomyam-ed cabbagge. And poor me, I am allergic to red meats, either beef or mutton. So the dishes were totally for my housemates (KS sayang you all tau).

In Novi Cheremushky Complex, I started to walk around and whenever I stopped at 1 shop, 1 hand went flipping the catalogues while another hand was holding the phone talking to Nan, getting his free consultation. At first, ACER was the only brand that I thought would suit my budget but you know what, I found out ACER's price here is about twice compared to the market in Malaysia. Sigh. Nan suggested me to buy IBM LeNovo, the latest and the best product of IBM that Nan loves so much. I stopped at 1 booth there surfing the net to get the location of IBM Center in Novy Cheremushky Complex. I found nothing. Even there's no IBM dealer in that complex. I walked and usha-ing around and finally I found this 1 shop called Start Master. The price is very reasonable. Plus the theme of the shop is Orange. Very the vogue one. After getting some advices from Nan and negotiating with the salesman, I finally brought home ASUS F3J Series Centrino Core Duo 2 Window Vista Home Basic Edition which initially I didn't plan to but it yet, just to survey and compare the prices. Thinking of the time, I know I wouldn't have any other time to come here again within this short period. So, I just grabbed it.

And at the end of the day, I puased. I just realized that the only thing managed to pass through my esophagus that day was only 3 quater of a sliced bread. That's why I couldn't resist myself to serve something yummy for the dinner yesterday (Wednesday) since Wanie couldn't reach home on time to cook.

Thank you Emak, Ayah for the money. Love you both so much much much. My dearly bankers. I bet that Emak and Ayah are laughing reading this entry, to know how determine your Angah was to get the new lappy and to settle her problem on her own (kononnya). Many thanks Emak, Ayah. Many many thanks.

Sometimes, I always think that I can stand on my own, walk on my way, run on my track, smile on my willing and cry for my satisfaction, but things do not always come to us the way we wanted them to be. We do need someone to be by our side. To Emak and Ayah, thank you very much for raising me up to be a full-spirited young lady. Ayah, I still keep your SMS saying that: I know I can rely on you (sent on my 20th birthday, 2005). How independent I always to your eyes, I am still dependent on you both at times.

There it goes. Family is always the priority. Then come your special one or friends :)

Note: My previous laptop was a gift from my Ayah when I was doing my preparation in UITM Shah Alam. Within these 4 years, I took care of it like my honey you know. Even my Emak once offered me to change it with a new one (when it showed some symptoms of breaking down) but I refused because I love it so big much. And now it was totally not working. Not even could be switched on. So, unwillingly have to get this one a change :(
