Oh. My. God. So, the news is true! Mum has told me about this on yesterday afternoon. I hardly can believe it, cause the whole story sounds like a scene in local Indonesia drama and she knew about it from the daily-gossip-session with the aunties from the neighborhood. But heck, it is true! It happens in real life.

Dua remaja tewas terkurung di kamarnya setelah rumah mereka terbakar. Mereka yang biasa dipanggil Tasya (15) dan Melvin (14) ini tidak tertolong karena pintu kamarnya terkunci. Seorang pembantu bernama Sri diduga mengunci rumah ini tanpa alasan yang jelas.

Bottom line: Two teens, 15 yo and 14 yo, die in a fire incident which happened on midnight. Their bedroom’s door was being locked from outside, hence they couldn’t escape from the 3 (or is it 4?) floors house. Their parents went overseas (Hongkong) when incident happened.

They have 2 stay-at-home-maids, one was being locked from outside too but managed to escape from the window, while the other one wasn’t at the location (highly suspected for causing the fire). The Nissan X-trail also went KABOOM. Sigh.

What I heard from my neighbors (the gossip’s aunties) is…

- they are richie people

- the teens studied at Singapore Piaget Academy (with Singapore curriculum and sky high tuition fee)

- the mother is well-known for being arrogant (this is an opinion, not a fact yet).

- the parents went to Hongkong cause the father wanted to go Macau for gambling. He likes gambling, often goes to Macau (the gambling paradise) for that, and the wife always follows him.

- few days before the incident, that highly-suspected-maid kept on bringing an unknown man to the house. The other maid already warned her not to do so, the parents and the teens did too. It draws to the conclusion, probably it was the unknown man that provoke her for doing so. It often happens like this, the innocent maid from a small kampung did a criminal thing after be-friended with an unknown man. Sigh.

- when incident happened, the 15 yo teen girl still had the chance to call her Grandma and said that she was holding the hu-po (some Buddhist charm).

This case is still being investigate. But it is highly suspected that the fire is caused by the other maid which is missing. Sigh. This is oh so scary / insane / crazy / unbelievable / cruel, if she is the one who cause the whole thing (not only burn the house but also the family members including the dog).

It is enough if she wanted to burn the house. But why the need to lock their bedroom from outside? That is probably one of the the cruelest ways of doing execution to innocent people! Sigh. May they rest in peace.

Lessons to learn (note for myself):
- Treat your maid well. You won’t know what she can do, when she holds a grudge towards you. Well, actually, not just limited to maid but people around you.
- Never ever leave your maid at home while you go to work/outstation/overseas.
- Never ever let your maid go out and befriended with unknown guy.
- Best of all, don’t hire any stay-at-home maid!

I can’t help but to check the calendar every single day and count how close it is to April. Yes, our next meet-up is on this coming April, which is also his birthday month. I’ll accompany my Mum for medical check up. After that, will settle some stuff and hope that our plan goes well.

Anyway, I am thinking for a visit to IKEA when I go to KL later on. It used to be our favorite hang out/dating place, cause it is located next to Ikano and The Curve, and there is a free shuttle bus from Kelana Jaya to the shopping complex!

We used to admire the way they setup the demo house and the saving-space kind of furniture, i.e. the bed frames, the sofa beds, the bookcase and many more, while dreaming of having our own house/apartment. Hey, we can has a dream right?

We are working hard to make our dream come true now.

One month from now is the anniversary day of my Acer laptop, which I bought in KL. It is going to be 4 years old. I think it is old enough for a laptop. But it is still so strong despite it had been attacked by whatsoever viruses and went through several time of formatting. *big wet eyes* I’m so proud of it.

It has 512MB RAM and 40GB space. Enough for daily usage for a high school student like my brother. But when he wants to do design stuff using Photoshop and Illustrator, the laptop will work like a granny. -__-

We did think of adding computer memory to it. But, come to think that it is hitting 4 years old soon, it seems that.. it would be better for us to buy a new one. Now, let’s just wait until it goes kaput then only we will change a new one.

I don’t know if over usage is the right word to describe the situation. What I know is, our account has been temporarily moved to cloud server. The rest of the words in the email is just too geeky for me to understand. Never mind as long as boyfriend understands it.

Because of that we have to put SimplyWP in maintenance mode for a while. We were given 72 hours to solve this (if I not mistaken) , otherwise we will need to go for (the expensive) dedicated server. Sigh.

But, the staffs at Lunarpages (our current hosting) has been quite kind to us. Now, cracking head to solve the problem. Sigh.

Life has been great lately. I am kept busy with design works while cracking head on how to generate more sales, the pain of being self employed. Don’t take this as complain, I’m enjoying every single step of it.

During my free time, I try my best to stay away from computer and television. Just wanting to take some time off from electronic stuffs. You know, life needs some balance. So, reading book is the best option to go for.

The bad news is, I am run out of book to read. Hah! I know, it is time to go for book shopping. Good news is, I still have $50 Amazon gift card that I won 6 months ago, so Amazon books store is the best place to shop for now.

I have been wanting to buy a set of Twilight books since ages ago and found that it is sold at $6.64 only. Never mind that it is paperback type instead of hard cover type.

Now, let me get back to the book shopping.
