This week has been surreal and an emotional roller coaster ride for me. First I was told on Monday that it was going to be my last day there at Mimos and I was to go back to my company the next day. Originally the transfer was supposed to be on the 15th but somehow it was fast forwarded. and what happened at my office the next day, well that is another story. I was sort of dreading the transfer and then this has to happen (no thanks to that guy whose name starts with S and ends with an A). So I had to finish up my work, although it is not completed as how I plan it to be and I did not even get to properly say good bye to everyone there. That night I felt sad and disappointed that this part of my life is over and I feel like I have to start over and it is scaring me.
Next day was sort of chaotic at the office because since they were not expecting me this early. I don’t have a desk of my own to do my work because everywhere else is full. So I had to sit at other people’s table. At least I did get a laptop and a task to be done so I don’t just hang around and ‘menganga’. I also found out that the company is moving its office to PJ, section 19 to be exact. That sure is a shocker to me. I googled the map for the place just so that I can be sure where it is and I asked around how to get there by public transportation. So for me, I would have to board the Komuter of course, get off at KL Sentral then take the Putra and disembark at Asia Jaya station. From there I have there options. 1) take a bus to the place (which is called Dataran Three Two Square, weird name), 2) take a taxi(don’t know how much that will cost), and 3) walk (yes, walking, which was estimated it would take about 20-30 minutes).
Let’s review the options. Taking a bus? God, I am so terrified of taking the bus. Whenever I think about having to take a bus, I would think about all this horrible things that could happen to me (hyperactive imagination) and I know bus services are so much slower and more unreliable than the Komuter and then there’s all the foreign people taking the bus (again, hyperactive imagination) and what if I had to work late? From what I found out, the bus service for after work only available to a certain time and having to wait for a bus at night? (again, hyperactive imagination here). Take a taxi? Well, it would probably be much easier and comfortable but I have a feeling it could cost a lot and again, what if I had to work late? I prefer not to take the taxi at night, it scares me (again, hyperactive imagination). Walking? Well, out of the three options, I would rather take this. Simply because it doesn’t cost me much and I don’t have to be in a crowded place where the people smells. But could I walk there for 30 minutes in my two inch shoes?
There is another option, which is buying a car. Initially I wanted to buy a car next year, after calculating by that time I would have a substantial amount of money for the down payment. Now that circumstances have changed, I might have to change my plan. But I am having hesitations simply because right now my savings is pretty low and more importantly I am not sure if I am ready for that kind obligation. I know my expense per month is pretty high. Then, I have to consider about how much I have to spend for tolls and gas. That place is pretty far. Sigh…Undoubtedly, if I am going to buy a car, it would have to be an auto gear car. Can’t drive a manual. Sigh….That means the car is going to cost more. Sigh….The funny thing is I have already set a date with my sis in law n my brother to go see her friend who is a car dealer although I am still unsure if I am really going to buy this car. The car (if I am going to buy) is going to be a Kancil, no doubt, since I cannot afford the more expensive ones and I am afraid to drive a big car.
But then again there is another option. I could rent a place near my office. Hmmmm…..Naaaahhhhhh! Not going to happen
