That's The Way It Is.

A sudden urge to glance above overwhelmed me suddenly, and as I gave in, I couldn't help but to notice something different, beyond the windows. The hall looks exceptionally darker, than usual. Brushing that thought aside, I entered the premises, up a flight of stairs, and made my way in. I flipped one of the switches while taking off my shoes without reaction of any type. Perhaps just a blown fuse, I wondered, but when further trials with the other sources of illumination failed as well, I was dumbfounded. Then I was distracted by something laying on the floor just beside me, possibly slipped through the narrow opening below the wooden door. Upon careful inspection, I realize its nothing but an envelope, with a content. Deep down inside, a voice within myself was telling me that it definitely has something to do with the current situation and I opened the envelope, hastily. It was an absolute shock to find out something so disturbing...

Actually, I'm just adding a little flavour to my else very boring post. Apparently, the owner of that guesthouse (the company is renting it from someone else) has failed to pay the utility bills for quite sometime even with repeated reminders, hence, a technician was sent over to disconnect the power supply. Stated in the notice as well, should the payment be delayed by another week, the water supply would be reduced significantly as well. Such efficiency! Not much choices left other than inform the person in charge regarding this issue and bear with it for the night since it was already late into the night.

Dari sini, terpaksa guna BM sebab kandungan yang seterusnya berkaitan dengan rakan sekerja, dan rasanya ada bebudak dalam syarikat ini yang pernah terserempak laman web ini, secara kebetulan katanya. Balik ke topik asal, nampaknya, bukan semua orang yang tinggal kat rumah tu (dengan percuma) sependapat dengan saya, sebab si Mamut ni (nama samaran) amat tidak berpuas hati dengan situasi malam itu, katanya amat panas sampai nak mampus, tiada air panas untuk bermandi-manda, tiada lampu maka tak boleh masak dan bahan memasaknya yang disimpan dalam peti sejuk tu, habis rosak *guling mata*. Jadi, dia pun menelefon kepada hang yang saya panggil tadi, bukan main kasar dan kuat dia melepaskan geram. Lepas tu, lagi dia menelefon kepada pihak atasan, kali ini sopan sedikit dan merungut kepadanya, memang sah bermasalah sikit budak ni.

Maksud saya sebenarnya, kan sudah larut malam, apa yang boleh dibuat? Sesiapa pun akan melakukan kesilapan dari masa ke semasa, tak usahlah nak menyusahkan semua orang. Lepas tu, hang yang bertanggungjawab atas isu ini pun menelefon kepada saya, lalu merungut kepada saya pulak akan si Mamut tu (adalah juga tanya perlukah untuk memindahkan saya ke tempat lain dulu). Setengah jam kemudian, tuan punya rumah pun datang, jemput si Mamut dan gengnya untuk bermalam kat tempat lain dulu (untuk saya, tak perlulah sebab boleh tahan, hasil latihan dari Cheras yang selalu putus bekalan kuasa), dia pun rungut kat aku juga, sebab kita orang sebahasa, Mandarin. Tak tau apa yang berlaku, si Mamut dan geng dia tak nak pulak, sebab masa aku bangun pagi, nampak diaorang tidur kat sini juga. Ganjil betul lah budak budak ini. Buat kecoh saje, ganggu aku tidur lagi tu, celaka betul.

Some people are meant for greatness, while others, just noises.
