Love-Hate Relationship

Benar kata orang tak kenal maka tak cinta.

Bila kenal baru boleh bercinta,kalau tak bercinta pun mungkin boleh suka.Kalaupun tak suka tetap tak akan membenci.

Waktu mula-mula datang Dublin i didnt really like this place. Bandar kecik,hujan,super cold and on Friday night(or any other night) you can see classy drunk people puking on the sidewalk.

But today bila i pergi ke briefing session dengan pegawai JPA kesayangan,Miss Afidah(who reads my blog,tu yang mengampu lebih ni) regarding next year punya planning untuk pulang ke Malaysia, i suddenly realized that ill be leaving this city i called my second home in a few months time,insyaallah.

Lepastu mulalah sentimental. Teringat kenangan lama mengusik kalbu di kala mula-mula menjejak kaki di sini dengan berlemoih hingus meleleh sambil tahan sejuk. There were too many things yang i tak suka about this city but now bila dah sentimental dan fikir-fikir balik,its not that bad.

Waktu mula-mula belajar turun town,i tak tahu ada masjid dekat city. Well,it wasnt my fault pun sebab from outside you can never tell its a mosque. So setiap kali pergi city,kalau nak sembahyang zohor,mesti kat dalam fitting room. And my favourite fitting room for solat would be Mark & Spencer in Grafton street.

Wah kelas kau nak M&S jugak,taknak kedai baju standed Hari-Hari. Bukannye apa,M&S ni ada free toilet jadi boleh wudu' free,lepastu fitting room dia alas karpet. Pilih pulak baju yang mahal-mahal buat sejadah,memang stylo.

Dan sungguh ironi tempat membeli makanan paling berkhasiat ialah tempat yang paling dodgy sekali.

This is where i get my veggie and fruits every other week. Not the cleanest open market,but they sure sell cheap fruits. Being a cheapskate, i memang tak ambil pusing sangat the cleanliness aspect ngeh ngeh.

One thing i hate the most is waiting for anything.I just dont have the patience. Jadi menunggu bas untuk ke city took the top spot on the things-i-hate list. Especially bus 11,yang tahap kekerapan dia ibarat menunggu Kelantan menang bola. Once in a blue moon gitu. (ambo gurau-gurau,tokse gomo )

Tapi sebenarnya waktu menunggu bas lah the only time i can just sit back dan memikirkan masa hadapan. Macam perancangan hidup dan cita-cita masa akan datang ecewah.

Kehidupan pulak tak selalunya indah. Walaupun nampak macam kanak-kanak riang terlebih glukos, kadang-kadang i pun stress juga.I do have problems. You know things like exams, emotions, and dealing with a-holes once in a while. Sesetengah orang suka duduk sendirian tenangkan fikiran. I just pergi city sorang-sorang and walk aimlessly sambil tengok orang lalu-lalang.

After spending 1-2 hours watching people (kadang-kadang diserikan dengan upacara beli-belah), i'll head home dengan perasaan yang less shiteous.

Waktu mula-mula datang Dublin jugak i used to question the purpose of this famous landmark called Spire;

I mean its totally useless,memang takde purpose pun mendalah ni. Tetapi landmark inilah yang menjadikan i lebih sayangkan Malaysia sebab at least Bang Najib nak buat landmark menara 100 tingkat ada la jugak kegunaan dia buat kondo ke apa.

So kesimpulannya like any other new place,it takes time to grow on you. Do you think me stop denying Nilai as my hometown happened overnight?
