Semalam I maraton movies dari pukul 2 tengah hari sampai pukul 2 pagi. Mostly cerita lama but I macam agak jakun lah kan sebab selama nie my astro kat living hall tuh takde HBO dan adik-beradik beliau. So Saturday I dengan penuh tension menelefon si Astro untuk kasik tambah itu movie package. I know many of you dah kerut dahi, konon asyik repeat lah kan. But trust me, untuk orang yang takde masa nak ngadap tv macam I nie, it’s a blessing to have Astro yang merepeat ok!!
Dan semalam tuh jugak lah aku decide, aku akan benti kerja. Akan ku kasik notis end of bulan 11. So that my last day should be end of Jan 09.
Why the sudden change of heart you ask? Ini semua pasal citer Meet Joe Black.
Sedang duduk atas sofa tuh dalam keadaan gelap lah I asked myself…what if death came and saw me and told me, I have only a day to live. Surely I’ll say fuck with work and live my last day like my last day because it was my last day kan?
I mean I would buy a ticket to Tokyo or Milan or Rome that very instant. Fly off, do it all. Because when death has paid you a visit giving you heads up, you’ll count every minute that passes.
Which brings me back to my good old friend Syawal. Dah arwah dah pon Syawal nie. We were in the same class in Standard 4 and tak sangka the last I heard of her…she passed away in a car crash.
What if she knew that day was her last day? Would she still have woken up at 6.30am to get ready to head to work? I bet if she knew it was her last day, she would never have slept the nite away and would have been crashing some bar. No offense to anyone but knowing my girl Syawal, I’m sure she wants to be remembered as the life of the party.
So tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, berdasarkan kepada itulah…I have decided to resign.
This life that I have just once to live …it’s not worth wasting it away like this. I ask myself everyday…’hari nie nak accomplish apa? Semalam apa you dah accomplish? Besok, macam mana plak?’.
The reason being so is coz I rasa rugi sangat hari-hari nie berlalu with no effort put into it…no meaning to it. Semalam 27th October 2008. What did you do? Was it something you will remember when you’re at the edge of a cliff? Nevermind if you don’t remember it…but will some else do?
What would you do if you know tomorrow is going to be your last day and after that, death says hello?
