Life Of A Typical Malay - September 1999

Saturday 25/9/1999

I was ready to go to KL when Nuar asked me to call Abang Ngah. Oh, Abang Ngah told me about his flight to the Holy Land (Mecca and Medina, Saudi Arabia) tomorrow night. His first time doing small pilgrimage (Umrah). I wished him luck and promised him to be at the airport tomorrow. I did ask him what made him decided to do the pilgrimage, out of sudden.

I don't know, it's about time I guess.

Yeah, I can understand. It happened to me once.

Went to KL in the evening, bought some magazines, a pair of jeans etc. Reached home at 11-30 pm, and went straight to bed.

Sunday 26/9/1999

Since I woke up pretty early, I decided to go jogging. It was a nice feeling to just walk and run at my own pace, then to PKNS Complex for light breakfast. Spent another hour at the lake reading newspapers and by the time I reaced home it was already midday. Just enough time for me to do laundry and cleaning up my apartment.

Left for the Airport at 3-15 pm, it rained all the way. Decided to have a look at that new Formula 1 Circuit, situated just outside the airport area. What a grand looking complex, wish I had the time to attend the World Formula 1 Race next month. Ngah and the family arrived at 5-00 pm, the flight was re-scheduled, leaving at 8-00 pm instead of 7-00 pm. Took Wazi to the indoor playground, then bought him some toys.

X called in the middle of the night, asking me to be in Seremban tomorrow at about lunch time. Well,about that "good news"...

Monday 27/9/1999

NOTE:

Entries for this week and the week after will be short and simple, mainly because I'm busy and secondly, I don't want to give too much info, my life has become a bit "exciting" lately and as much as I want to share it with *you* I don't want some nosey parkers to take that away from me ...you see, the last few weeks, my journal page recorded *lots* of visit (and return visits) by my fellow Malaysians. It never happened before....this "scares" me a bit. This bit.

X called first thing in the morning asking me to wait for him at KL train station. Reached there at 8-00 am but he was no where to be found. I was about to take the next train to Seremban alone when I managed to get him on the phone.

We then took the 10-00 o'clock train to Seremban, that 1 1/2 hours journey was spent discussing, I asked him lots and lots of questions. Met Mr Y and talked and discussed for another few hours. Left at about 3-30 pm, I was so tired and the journey seemed to last forever.

We "entered" market for the very first time tonight, sort of "hit and run". Managed to get 0.7 point profit, not bad. Not at all bad.

Tuesday 28/9/1999

Woke up a bit late and left for Seremban by train (again). It was a long day, managed to get everything done by 5-30 pm.

Rushed to the office feeling damn tired, sleepy and ..... We made 0.5 point tonight, good.

Wednesday 29/9/1999
I was dead tired and did not even log on to the internet this morning when I reached home. X called me at 8-30 am, asking me to be in Seremban by midday. Bumped into Adnan, a friend, and chatted with him over a glass of iced-lemon tea while waiting for X,Y,Z and A. X and Y called saying they'd be late, much to my disappointment. Z and A arrived about an hour later, after discussing what to do next, we decided not to wait for X and Y so we left at 4-00 pm. They gave me a lift to Shah Alam, checked a few reports had a quick nap later.

We missed the boat tonight, we waited too long for clear direction of the market but it did not materialise and by the time we decided to enter, the market went sideways.
