There's still kind person out there

A very zillion thanks to Mr Khairi from Jab. Penerangan, Wisma Dang Bandang, Kota Kinabalu.

On the 15 of August, my handphone nearly lost, again!!! Just few weeks after Bee said 'How many times la u want to 'wakaf' ur handphone khady?' These words popped-up from her reply email after I told the friends in the mailing list my new phone number.

I was fetching my son and my mother in law @ KFC Bandaran, I drove to Shell to fill in the tank.It was a massive jammed!!.. well... KK in Friday noon!!! Then we went to KK Plaza. While having lunch, I realized that my hp is not with me. I asked my son whether he saw it.Nope. Then I was thinking that it might slipped off in the car. Then we went to the parking, searching for the hp in the car.Nope. It was not in the car. Then I thought I might have leave it on the table in the office. Nope. It was not in the office. I give up!! okay!!! I lost my handphone again!!!

Then my colleague lend me his handphone, asking me to call my number. It's ringing and answered!!

me: Hello...
my hp: Hello...
me: Di mana ni??
my hp: KK
me: Ini handphone saya la ... (with a rising tone of voice)

Gores dan Kalah - TV3's 360

Click here if you missed the show

Watching the last Wednesday episode was like a flashback on how foolish I was. None of my friends knew about this, when it happened, I said to myself that I will take care of it on my own, I’ll never bring someone else in. But, after the show, I think I have to let my friends to be aware, maybe some of them didn’t watch the show, although they would be more wiser than me, but who knows when the incident occur slightly in a different way??

Friends, I never thought that I would be the fake Scratch & Win (or in the show Mazidul referred as Gores & Kalah) scam victim. It took place sometimes ago… maybe 5-6 months ago, or maybe a year??? I can’t remember the exact time. Ahah!!! Now I remember, at that time, I was in the middle week of sitting the 7-paper examination, which means, it happened in January 2008. The story goes like this:

One Chinese male youngster approached to our gate, knocking on the gate making a very distracting sound. I’ve checked on and asked what he wanted, the conversation approximately went like this:

The boy: Akak, selamat tghari, sori ganggu akak rehat, saya dtg ni nak buat survey saja, sykt kami nak bukak kedai dekat The Mines, so skrg nak buat survey la.

Before I managed to asked questions, he took out a piece of questionnaire-like paper and start asking questions. I was very doubtful at that moment, but since he was still in the other side of the gate and he was just asking for questionnaire, so why not? After the Q&A session, he said that he have a coupon that contains a mystery gift, I have to fill in my details and opened up the coupon to see the gift. As I was about to open the coupon, the boy said ‘Akak, jgn marah saya ah kalau dpt hadiah tak best?’ Then after he saw the opened coupon, he was very excited and wanted to shake hands congratulate me. It feels very odd coz I didn’t know what the meaning of the silver circle is. The boy said ‘Akak, ini kaler silver akak boleh menang kereta woo’. Still, I was really suspicious. Then the boy asked if I have telephone in the house. I asked why? He gave me his supervisor hp number and asked me to call. I won’t let him entered the house so I just used my mobile. I dialled my hubby, not the supervisor. Hubby already said no and asked me to make the boy go away, I said ok. When the boy asked whether I called his supervisor yet, I said no and told him that I don’t believe what had just happened and asked him to leave. But, he insisted on calling his supervisor, he said his supervisor will bring a newspaper-cuttings to verify that it was not a fake Scratch & Win scam. He let me hold his IDs... he was born at 1990!!!

So, I dialed the number but turn the speaker on, I don’t want him to touch my mobile. I heard every words they said… two Chinese men talking in Malays (seems like the other knows that the speaker was on).

While waiting for the supervisor, the boy asked me whether he could have a glass of chilled water. Again, generous-me just gave him but still he’s outside the gate. In less than 2 minutes, a green saga parks slightly a distant from my house making me unable to see the driver. There’s another young male Chinese walk towards our gate. He congratulated me and showed the newspaper-cutting that the other claimed before. I didn’t remember what paper is that, maybe Utusan. They said in order to claim the gift, I have to agree to be their product supporter, he mentioned about having my picture to be posted in the newspaper or television. I said that I don’t want the gift if I have to purchase something coz I have friends and relatives that come upon the same situation and they feel like being cheated. They assured me that I will not regret since the gift listed for the silver colour circle on the coupon is worth 3k MYR the lowest. They gave me the list of gifts and it was stated that the least I could get is the 3K MYR cash, so that I could recover my money back. They also said about me surprising hubby if I won the luxurious car, and after having a tough time restoring my confidence, I was stupidly followed them to their shop located at Kajang Prima. I was also being silly by bringing my son and I lied to my mom saying that I went to see hubby… Ya Allah bodohnya aku masa ni… I drove our car with the 2 strangers with us. My son sit on the front passenger seat.

On the way to their shop, hubby didn’t stop calling my mobile but I unwisely refused to answer, kunun2 mo kasik surprise huwaaaa!!! Then arrived at their store, one of them asked to wait in the car, he wanted to get the store keys since it was locked, nobody’s inside, it was nearly 6pm. He came back with a white Kelisa. We went up the store, seems assuring office, but the radio with a Chinese song was played loudly in the other room. I was asked to wait in a room. In that room, there’s plenty of photos people receiving their gifts.. 2-3 people get Kancil.. completed with their names and IDs. I was really confident at that moment that it was not a scam.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, I went out the room to have a look at the office, then I was asked to stay in the room. They wanted a confirmation from me on buying their products worth 2k + MYR in order to claim the gift. I was still hesitated to do that. I asked whether I could pull back if I don’t like the gift. They keep on saying that I will not regret, and they asked payment for the products that I have to buy. They wanted 1K, I said that I don’t have that much. They asked how much do I have? I said about 200MYR, they laughed and asked about credit cards. I said that I don’t want to use my credit cards coz I treated it as debit cards, meaning that once I use, I’ll pay the full amount.

Then they said I will recover the money once I get the so-called worth gift. I took a glance look at the list of the gifts. Then in the middle of the list, I saw Jade Mattress. I said that if I won this, this would be the useless gift to me. He said that if I don’t want the mattress, he have a friend that could buy from me for 3K MYR, so I will not loose a thing, I still have the products I buy and get my cash back plus extra money. My uncertainty broke off by then and brainlessly I agreed to pay 500MYR deposits for the sole-pounding massager. After payment, he went to take a so-called scanner to see the mystery gift. He went on circling the scanner on top of the silver circle and asked me to see what number showed… I was upset when it showed the number representing the Jade Mattress, the gift that place in the 1st rank of my least-wanted. I was really frustrated and started feel cheated then he said he’ll help me to sell the mattress soon but I have to pay the full amount for the products first, then the mattress will be sent to me. I said that I’ll settle it on my next pay day and I’ll contact him soon for selling the mattress, lucky that I didn’t do it and the sole-pounding massager being put in my car so I didn’t went home empty-handed.

As I remembered he said that the product will not be mine until I have paid the full amount, but they put that thing in my car, so I just took it home. Before driving, I called hubby and told him that I won a useless mattress. Imagine how angry hubby was. He said that my mom worried too, asked him to lodge a report to the police station. I was really feel bad, and for that, I had punishment from hubby – padan moka sapa suru derhaka sama somi huhuhuh plus, I have to re-sit 3 paper out of 7 paper for the exam that I was sitting the moment the event occurred. The re-sit exam will be at the end of this month, hopefully I’ll passed with flying colours… aminn…

So to all my friends, don’t be a fool like me sob sob sob… although been very doubtful and careful, they will make it looks as if it’s not a phony.

Financial Planning

Recently, I wanted to stick on this principle: satisfy yourself by spending the money you earned, rather than spend it to others... significantly selfish, but I'm tired of having responsible to other's financial problem especially when I'm not the right person to be accountable of. I know that I have better living and job, but I'm not a millionaire!! I know that I can make use the benefits of government servant to apply loans, but who can give me the assurance that the person will pay the monthly payment, whilst legally, (stated in the contract of agreement) I'm the person that should pay??? If the person is being honest though, what if, something bad happened to the person, for example death (sorry, but I'm not praying for it). Spend wisely, spend with what you have in the pocket, if you can't afford of what you want, then save, avoid loans!!! But if you really have to (the loan thingy..) be responsible and make sure you can settle the monthly payment, don't be the burden of someone else..

Writing Therapy

In less than a minute I type the above title, there's an email coming with the subject that really makes me 'haaa... this is what i need'.

Kenapa Kita Boleh Jadi Marah??

Marah datang dari perasaam atau emosi. Bila kita marah emosi telah menguasai pemikiran kita sehingga aspek pemikiran dan psikomotor (gerak anggota) tidak dapat dikawal lagi. Pada ketika itu gerak geri kita secara automatik akan akur kepada arahan emosi misalnya muka kita jadi merah - darah naik kemuka kata orang - mata dibeliakkan, bibir digetap atau mulut ternganga dan suara meninggi. Bila marah sudah sampai ke tahap melampau, kaki dan tangan kita juga turut bertindak secara spontan dan agresif seperti menendang atau
menyepak, menghempas barang-barang di hadapan mata dll sehingga kita boleh bertindak seperti orang tidak siuman. Maki hamun dan sumpah seranah memang perkara biasa dilakukan oleh mereka yang marah secara melampau !

Kenapa kita boleh jadi marah ?
Ada beberapa perkara yang boleh menyebabkannya.

Pertama kita jadi marah bila emosi kita sudah tersentuh. Oleh itu mereka yang emosional atau cepat terasa akan menjadi cepat marah bila mendapati emosi mereka sudah terganggu. Contohnya kita akan merasa tersentuh bila ada orang menuduh kita melakukan sesuatu yang pada pendapat kita, kita tidak melakukannya. Emosi kita akan terganggu bila dituduh yang bukan-bukan pada perasaan kita.

Kedua, kita boleh menjadi marah bila kita dicabar secara lansung atau tidak. Merasa marah akibat dicabar boleh dianggap sebagai naluri (instinct) manusia. Misalnya seorang suami marahkan isterinya yang tidak menurut perintahnya. Di sini dia merasa tercabar kerana kedudukannya sebagai suami sudah tergugat.

Ketiga, marah juga boleh berlaku akibat fenomena alam. Kita mungkin marah bila kereta kita rosak di tengah jalan atau sesuatu yang berlaku di luar perhitungan kita.

Ada banyak lagi perkara yang boleh mengakibatkan kita menjadi marah. Semuanya terjadi akibat emosi kita sudah tersentuh. Mereka yang cepat marah atau naik angin kata orang - dipanggil panas baran. Orang yang panas baran akan cepat melenting dan marah-marah sehingga di luar kawalan.

Bagaimana kita mengatasi perasan marah ?
Sebenarnya oleh sebab marah itu datang dari emosi atau perasaan, ia akan dapat diatasi dengan mudah jika kita cukup bersedia. Yang paling utama kita perlulah dapat mengawal emosi dengan sempurna. Bila kita sudah merasa nak marah, cepat-cepatlah alihkan fokus kita ke otak - jangan biarkan emosi mengawal diri.

Dengan cara berfikir melalui otak - bukan melayan perasaan , emosi kita akan dapat dikawal dan seterusnya boleh mengurangkan rasa marah kita. Proses ini dalam psikologi dipanggil sebagai "cognitive factor". Mereka yang dapat dipengaruhi oleh emosi disebut sebagai "emotivist" Hanya dengan berfikir secara teratur saja kita akan menjadi rasional.

Ada beberapa cara bagaimana kita boleh mengatasi perasaan marah:

1) Ahli psikologi menyarankan bila kita merasa nak marah, cubalah renung kuku ibu jari tangan kita kira-kira 2 minit. Dengan cara itu kita akan dapat mengubah fokus dari emosi ke pemikiran.

2) Ada pula ahli psikologi yang mencadangkan supaya kita membilang 1,2,3,4,5......sehingga perasaan kita yang tegang itu menjadi kendur.

3) Ketika perasaan marah sudah menguasai diri, cubalah bawa tersenyum kita hendak mengorak senyuman ketika sedang marah; tapi tidak mustahil kita mampu melakukannya jika dicuba.

4) Jika anda beragama Islam perkara di bawah ini mungkin boleh menolong:
1. Bawa beristighafar atau mengucap berulang kali.

2. Baca mana-mana ayat al-Quran yang kita tahu terutama surah an-Nas

3. Ambil wuduk (jika mampu)

4. Solat sunat (jika perlu)

Semua cara di atas bertujuan untuk memindahkan fokus kita dari emosi ke pemikiran. Bila pemikiran kita sudah berjaya mengawal emosi, insyaallah perasaan marah kita akan reda dan seterusnya hilang. Biarlah pemikiran (cognitive) menguasai diri kita - bukan emosi !!

Selamat mencuba.

I'm trying to transfer my focus from emotion to cognitive thinking right now. I don't know why I'm being emotional today, the thing that triggers my anger is just a tiny matter, but as usual, I will just keep it to myself, let it be... I don't want to be the hot-tempered type of girl just the same reason I hate others acting like it. Probably.. I miss hubby.. called him last nite @ Toyoko Inn at Kyoto *sigh* can't wait till Sunday...
