Another morning in December, the time I open my eye, it was raining. Looking through the blinds, saw the whole street in a mist, heavy down pouring rain wash away everything yesterday left behind. New dawn but it was a wet one a chilling one, it was Christmas eve.
As usual I after I woke up I turn on my PC, sitting in front of the monitor hand gestured on my razor and keyboard, looking through the inbox. Like a routine, I waited for my turn to shower, while waiting I packed my stuff that I needed in the office. My turn for shower, showering warm water onto myself, like spa with no other facilities, forgetting the cold rainy day outside I enjoyed the moment in the bathroom.
Taking off in the rain was really tedious, the moisture, the wetness just to reach the car you will surely get wet. Not like other days, this time I have rush to my car, ignite the engine and start settling down before I go. Reversed the gear and leave the house compound, sadly I forgot about the Soyrich I bought last night for my breakfast today.
Upon hitting highway, the route was expected to jam, especially in this kind of rain, but surprisingly there was no jam, it was a smooth drive along Pasir Gudang Highway till I reach my company. Again, at the gate, I have to punch my card in front of the guard post, open the car door rushed out, stepping on a pool of water, run to the guard post punch my card and rush back in the car. Although it was raining heavily, everybody seems to be in the company already when I reach, the car park was full so I park my car near to the main lobby. It was and still is the no parking zone, but who cares anyway, the carpark was full, it was raining, and the receptionist that suppose to tell people not to park there, her car also just park beside mine.
As usual, the meeting room aka my office waiting for me while all the lights and air-con was switch off, the door was unlocked my one of the staff when they reach here earlier. Turning on the air-con to full blast so the room can reach a lower temperature sooner, then I will tune it down. The wind of the air-con blow straight to the window in front of me, the recipe of condensate wet air is fully followed as a layer of fog start forming outside the glass panel.
Not everyone here today, even there’s some people, but they seems too busy to entertain me, in fact, the rain seems to make a lot people lazier than usual, including me. I tried to finish my work then start off some variety show until I call off a day.
Lunch time, I tried the Mcs 10km away from the office, but because it just located next to the highway, it is not time consuming to reach there. After I had my lunch, I head back to the office again. Same thing, light rain, nobody in the engineering office, wonder where they go….
Only till the final moment of sitting in the office waiting to go back for Christmas eve, I packed my stuff, went to my car punch the card and go. Is that easy.
Tonight, I have no plans actually, my friends not here, even though they are here they also countdown with their another one. So I have to spend the night with my parents in a pub, it was a easy lighty night, we won a hamper and drank 3 buckets of beer. That’s probably concludes the night off.
