If Only You Could Understand My Frustrations...

It have been eight months living my working life around KL. How time flies! And it's amazing how things changes in time, too much changes in such a short period. I couldn't accept the changes in the beginning. I am actually pretty adaptable to changes but then as I grow up, there are a lot of things I got to worry about, I can't be as carefree as I used to be when I was still a student. Moreover, there are a lot of doubts and uncertainties that made me even more worried.

When I first moved over to KL, I stayed at Damansara, I was lucky enough to find a place to stay through the internet and it is within walking distance, about ten minutes to my workplace. So it's actually a double terrace storey house, I rented a single small room at downstairs. The house condition was quite okay and I stayed with three other girls, a Chinese, an Indonesian and a Sabahan. However, some of the girls wasn't hygenic! They just doesn't care about the cleanliness of the house, sigh! One of them always leave her leftover food or dishes on the dining table or at the basin for days or up to weeks without washing them, some of them never throw the trashes away whenever it's full. So it's pretty annoying...The most irritating part is because of all these, my room frequently got attacked by cockroaches! 

My room is clean and I do not keep food inside my room. The problem is my room is downstairs and next to the kitchen.It was very very frustrating when like almost every week cockroach hijacked my room. Got once even flew n landed on my lap. Everytime I have to find it, chase it and kill it. I really hate cockroach, made me phobia a little. But I had no choice since I have no car and it is so near to my office. 

Later, like after 1 to 2 months working with the company I received news that my company is going to move to another side of PJ most probably by end of the year. And the new place is not accessible by public transport. I was really worried about the transportation and finding new place to stay. The new office location isn't accessible by public transports and there are no accommodation over there which is within walking distance so transportation is a very major issue. My employment with that company was a two years contract but luckily termination notice is a month. So it's really frustrating and worrying, I have no idea if I shall stay with the company as I have just joined, don't know if it is worth to stay as it was a contractual employment, worried about the transportation as I couldn't afford to buy a car by myself and didn't dare to discuss with my parents as I think my parents won't allow me to buy a car here and my mum would definitely ask me to return to hometown to work. I even thought of moving back my hometown because of  all these unforeseen circumstances!

Finally, I found a better job offer and it's a permanent position, which is my current job but transportation is an issue to me. I feel grateful my aunt is willing to lend me a car temporarily while I slowly settle down with my job here. So regarding job and transportation issue, it's settled. However, my worries doesn't end here, I have issues with my accommodation. Due to another unforeseen circumstances, I gave away and moved out from my rented room at Damansara and moved to a condo in PJ. The room is clean and lean. I kinda like it. However, I couldn't sleep well everyday. There is a low cost apartment located at opposite my room and I think there's a Surau there. It was really noisy and very disturbing. Everyday at 5++ am they blast their morning calls for prayers super loud!!! It had never failed to wake me up...I don't have to wake up so early for work actually, I could have slept for another 30-40mins. I just started new job that time and I wanted to focus on my new job but due to lack of sleep sometimes I hardly focus on my new job. You see, lack of sleep leads to frustration and bad temper. Sometimes even when I go to bed I was worrying like tomorrow I got to be awaken by the prayers :(. 

In addition, the noise pollution is not only during the early morning. During weekends on Sat/Sun, the Malays from the low cost apartment will play their malay drums super loud and sing very loud from like morning 9-10am until 3-4pm! I'm not sure if it's like their practise session or whatever. I couldn't sleep well because of the morning call at 5+am, then I wanted to rest on weekends sleep longer, or nap/rest in the noon also cannot you see. I really don't understand why can't they be considerate about other residents around my area. Therefore, throughout the month of September I was really super frustrated and hence my temper got worsen. Because of all these, I am always unhappy during that period. Throughout the one whole month staying there I couldn't sleep well and I always didn't rest well. Then, I had issues finding people to take over my room so I can move to another room at my friend's place which is at different units. I endured such noise pollution for a month!

Luckily after a mth, I moved to another unit, facing another side of the condo, and hence no more noise pollutions! Peace and quiet! I can finally have my beauty sleep! Too much endurance....
