October this year..

Hi y`all!

My lil brother, Jai is now 25 years old and I was happy that he received the special parcel I sent over to Lubeck on the Oct 15th. Boy! Was he a happy man to see the goodies I packed inside. All gratitudes, touching words and many thanks aside, I actually had the intention to send him stuff for quite sometimes. And since his birthday this year coincides with Raya season, it’s all the more reason to give him some cookies, kerepek, rempah ratus and what nots. Oh! I also bought him a baju melayu too! because if I’m not mistaken, he had only 1 black baju melayu which he brought to Germany ages ago. We had many chat sessions during the holidays and seeing him through the webcam at least had cheered my parents a lot! Especially, Mak who is not very well and just being diagnosed with Diabetis during Ramadhan. My sister, Kak Chik who passed away in year 2000 was also born in October. Al fatihah to you, Chik

Raya this year was fun! I noticed that I almost never had same Raya celebration as compare to the previous year(s). That is actually what I’m looking forward during the festival. I always know that I’ll be chilling around house, eating delicious food and channel-hopping in front of TV, but greeting people who came visiting and catching up with old friends are more meaningful to me. This year, cousins & their families from N9 drove all the way to Pahang. Their late mothers and Mak are sisters. And I did managed to visit their house last weekend when I was back in KL. It was good to keep in touch with cousins whom we were so close since child, I don’t know whether it’s the distance or for lack of communication, over these past years we somehow only had minimal contact as in not in each other’s loop. So it’s good to catching up with each other’s life and their kids have really all grown up now!

Well, after Raya, it was back in the office and many open house invitations are going around in KL for these few weeks. Not helping at all with my diet plan. Erghh!










Yummy ketupat! no, i did not weaved that

hello all

Hi y'all. How you doin? it's been 4 months since I last wrote anything here. has it been that long? Time sure flies away.

Lotsa things had happened in between, but I'm not planning to tell all here, in one go anyway. Mostly, Its all about me, me & me. Oh well! its my space and how self-absorb can one be, eh?

Will write more soon, Selamat Berpuasa - Ramadhan is few days away. In the mean time, enjoy this handsome nephew of mine.

Away from home

Luckily, shopping is (part of) the cure! and who said you can't shop in Melaka & Batu Pahat?

How come it gets so lonely like this..?

Curl myself in a big ball and..die? naay sleep more like it

As most weekends, I’ll spend few hours by reading. Or sleep. These two are the activities I love so much at the moment. Almost like an escapade! Have you ever felt so bad and scared and you wish it’ll go away or change when you next wake up from your slumber? I do all the time. I mean, I wished for it all the time, but whenever I woke up, the world seems like it was before I went to sleep. No change except newfound courage and words to self saying – I can get through this one! If it was that bad, I almost don’t want the day to go by, scared shit to face the truth. And I’m the Denial syndrome sufferer at its best. But I persevere. At least I know I tried to face the reality. Be it a consequences of my actions or whatever that needs my decision, I want to do my best. But sometimes, I did not. Still, it makes my day to know that life does not revolve around me only. I don’t ever want to be a hypocrite bitch that is self absorbed and insensitive. I hate them kind with passion. I hope I’ll never turn into one.*Shudder* And did I tell you why I love reading? well, I want to get myself lost in the pages. That’s why. And I’m not that choosy when it comes to books. Oh well, everybody has their own way of unwinding, let loose, chilling out or whatever you may call it. Bottom line is we want to escape from it all once in a while. When things getting unbearable, pressures building up and you feel tired thinking about it, Get yourself away from it. Trust me! You’ll come back or relook at it with different perspective and fresh eyes!

Listen : Screw - Paris Hilton - i am a universal listener, you see?

count your blessing, dear

This is what I felt yesterday..

Feels like shouting on top of my lung, kicking and crashing my head at the wall! Arghh!! Shit!Stupid F*&^!Shit, Shit! Hmm..I suppose this is how it must feel if you’re lamenting on the fact when you just sold off your share at the stock market and for the love of my life, The price keep zooming up right after that!! Aiyoh..really, this stock market thingy is not for faint hearted people. It really cranks you up, you know. The anticipation and endless guessing (and praying) for the price to go up and when it reached your target price, you’ll decided to sell and you thought you will be content (and thankful) but no, dear! You will feel even worse when the price keep going up and up! At least that’s what I’m feeling right now. Like this bitter taste in my mouth and regretful thinking I’m having inside my head. If only I’d more patient and had more guts to wait for higher price. Arghh! Damn it! Let it go, Chah. Rezeki di tangan Allah swt kan. Really, I know I’ve been blessed in so many ways. For that, I’m most thankful to God.

And today, I (try to) feel content. Alhamdulillah..and not to check the share market website. okeh, must get back to work.

Later.

Mundane Tuesday

Just so if you might want to know more about me... (Right, this is actually an attempt to fend my sleepiness away)

1.Am left handed – yep. I’m using my left hand for writing, holding microphone / racquets for sports etc, but I also know how to use both fork & spoon properly, thank you. Somehow, If I’m only holding one spoon (like for soup) then its automatically goes to my left hand where it’s suppose to be my right hand holding it, well, I did not realized it until someone point it out to me and well, I still couldn’t be bothered anyway.

2.March is my month. I am a Piscean; I love all fish in general.

3.I even have a same birth date with my eldest sister – March 10 but different year lah, hers 64 and mine 77.

4.My favourite colours are purple, red and turquoise. But I always ended up with more white t-shirts than I need for. Boring!

5.I am only using 1 type of perfume at a time, meaning I don’t do ‘perfume collection thingy’ where you have racks full of various bottles of perfume. I will choose & decide what smell I like, bought it and wear it till the last drop before I’ll go and buy another (probably same) smell or whatever that attracts my nose. My all time favourite is Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana but currently I am wearing Femme by Hugo Boss.

6.I can sing. Friends & strangers said so. But I don’t boast it around la. And I love to hear my friends who can sing (or have guts to sing their hearts out). I can’t stand the tone deaf people, though.

7.I have fear of heights, but I also love roller coaster and other rides which will catapult you like 20 metres above ground and spinning and let you dangling on air, its pure torture. I know

8.All time favourite band – The Beatles

9.Favourite authors – Ken Follet & Stuart Wood- these 2 fella can keeps me awake until wee hours. Ahem! with their books, I mean.

10.I hate preserved chillies, you know the chili jeruk? Hate it with passion. And I also hate the kuah petis for rojak buah, I can’t eat that. And oh yeah, I cannot eat ground nuts – in any forms, but I can take other kind of nuts like hazel, macadamia etc (so ngada ngada kan?)

Happy Days Ahead!

On the eve before my 30th birthday
I am pushing all the fear, uncertainty and worries away...
30s such an unchartered territory
One would ponder and longingly remember their youth’s dreams crumbled like debris...
Many plans and wishes were like million years ago
Some best be forgotten, some does make me feel hollow...

Today come at last
Dreaded but whirl me fast...
Where will tomorrow lead me next?
Only time and God knows best.
For I am such a small speck in this universe
Making my way around and keep on traverse
Finding what would fulfill me most;
My happiness and self believe that I’m not again to be lost.

6 Weirds Things About Myself

I’ve been tagged by Ashraff & Aliff ‘s Mom to do this 6 weird things about yourself meme. Spent few days thinking it over (‘twas hard , man!) and after some soul searching (cheh!) I think these are 6 weirdest things that I can think of. Probably other people have their own ideas of weird things about me, I mean for all I know some might be able to come up with 12 or 24 weird things about me, No? I hope there aren’t lah. Since this is my blog kan, here goes;

1. When I worried too much or having repeated thoughts about something bad or shitty stuff, it will usually turn into reality or really happened to me! Arghh!

2. I am obsessed with man’s hand. I love to secretly watch a man’s hand (family, friends, colleagues or strangers) and see their long (or short) fingers, palm, wrinkles, calluses, hair at base of each fingers and clean nail, of course!

3. I can name all 50 states of United States of Americ@. It started when I had to prepare for a quiz during primary school and somehow the information won’t dislodge from my permanent memory. (Not that weird, i suppose)

4. I will always reread my favorite books (every of 5-6 months) simply because I love the plot which is interesting and superbly crafted, the characters felt like someone I know (better still, I wish I am one of the character!) and it always make me feel good that I did not forget what’s the story is about whenever I look at the cover.

5. I love to see, meet and be around small girls and boys age 6 or below. They are so cute, fresh and I love their innocence way of looking at this world. Some would want to grow up so fast; some were still clinging to their mom and never want to be separated.

6. And yes, I still bite and chew my nails! I know its disgusting but sometimes when I’m deeply thinking(and worrying), I’ll subconsciously put my fingers inside my mouth and grit my nail. That is why I can’t cure my cough 100% and imagine the tape worms inside my stomach..eeurrgh!

If it's your last day on earth..how would you like to live it? - Dr Grey

Oh my god! Did I ever tell you that I love Grey’s Anatomy?? I almost worship the series! Arghh! And tonight was such a heart wrenching episode! Nail biting to the end and the emotions that oozes from the story are so powerful. It really connects – the plot, the cast and yes, McDreamy is very yummy! Indeed. Ok, getting back to dreaming of that gorgeous man whom I doubt will ever make his way into my life! Hahha ..

Yummy isn't he?

A Night To Remember..

Right, so CNY have passed quite sometimes and during that long break I was busy entertaining my nieces & nephews @ Kg, doing nothing much. But I was back in KL by Thursday 22/2 for I was one of the committee member of my company Annual Dinner this year! Aiyoh! honestly, this will be my first and the last time la kan. So freaking tired! Attended final meeting on Friday 23/2 which coincidentally was Bapak's 66th Birthday. I only got around to text & wished him that night, hmm bad, bad daughter that I am. During the CNY break on 17/2 was actually my Mom's 65th Birthday and bapak came back from his daily pasar trip that day with a cake & get this - Plastics Flowers! I laughed until my eyes watered. His reason was that plastic flowers last longer than real flowers and symbolized his undying love to Mak la (sweet kan? giler romantis jugak Bapak aku nih! )

Anyway, back to the dinner. By noon of Saturday 24/2, we, as in the committee members were already at KL Hilton for the rehearsal. I was busy finishing last minutes details especially on the door gifts, lucky draw prizes and gift hampers for games etc. And as much as I loved handling those gifts thingy, these I considered were definitely not a 'walk in the park' job. Packing 260 vouchers worth RM16.5K was no joke, man. And don't even get me to start on checking & retying the ribbons for freaking 500 boxes of the door gifts! Me and another 2 colleagues were also busting our asses & thicken our faces chasing sponsors for the lucky draw prizes for the last 2 months. Interesting experience(?) is the least way to described it! Haha.. To me, all the efforts kinda paid off to see guests came in their finery (as according to the theme ' Man in Black, Lady in Red' ) and to see them enjoying themselves during the event. I suppose having everybody's favourite entertainer (Datuk S1T1 Nurh@l1z@) to performed at the event was enough to ensure it is indeed a memorable night for all the staff. Oh well, anyway.. I got to sleep at the complimentary room at Hilton (which we used earlier to changed/get ready) after the event and that my friends, is my consolation for only being lucky enough to got RM50 Jusco voucher!

p/s : I lost my Nikon coolpix 3200 during the event *sob* :(

How time flies..

It's been 5 freaking years! man. I still remember my first day reporting to this company, feels like ages ago. And some highlights probably in order ;

- Promoted once (last yr) and am a Senior now.
- Work load still like usual (or sometimes more!).
- Still a kuli. Work like slave.
- Skive like a pro.
- Good yearly bonus, then after few months, melongo to survive rest of year haha
- Good colleagues a plenty

Verdict: Probably stay on here for now, until I finalize/confirm/recce other options. Quite
hard to leave this place for something less, so it must be something really really good la kan.

p/s : Shit happens, normal la kan, but when the shit has hit the fan? Aduuuiiii...erghhh! makcik tgh tension nih, tapi tu la dunia ni. Nak di apa kan lagi.

Beautiful bride & groom

Sweetnye..bisik ape tu?

Friendship we made along the way..

So I’ve constantly been reminded of the fact that I’m getting old. Well, guess what? I have not forgotten my own birthday! So I must be doing fine (haha) but then, once in a while, when truth strikes home it makes me pause and painfully reminded that time do flies. Sheesh! Case in point had happened last month when I was invited to a wedding ceremony. Mind you, this is not just another wedding of my college friends, but it was 2 of my former scholars/students whom I had been lucky to know and managed during my stint at xom. We were introduced, like 6 years ago and at that time these 2 wonderful people and their 3 other friends were just barely out of school. I did truly enjoy my work during that time because it was such a fun things to do! Apart from arranging their numerous preparation courses and what not (TOEFL, SAT, OBS) I even tagged along their visit to oil & gas terminal, refinery and yes, including the helicopter ride to a Gas Drilling Platform! But god knows why I can’t remember its name. ( Probably, the trauma of walking around the platform and fighting my fear of heights and nothing around you but deep, deep blue sea) I was also helping my boss to prepare allowances of other students (their seniors) at that time, but because I was involved from the beginning and spent so much time with these 5 scholars, we became very close and more like friends than coordinator/scholars. Oh well, who wouldn’t like them all? They are like top students from their schools, well mannered, intelligent and well brought up. For that, I give credits to their parents (probably good teachers also lah). Although, I left the company not long after they were all in US, we still keep in touch and once in a while whenever I rang an old colleague, it make me proud too when I heard of their news and yes, superb results throughout their bachelor degree. Nowadays, all 5 are engineers (1 is a geologist though) in various departments with the company (of course they are, they were bonded for 5 yrs anyway!) and when we meet again (around the time they were to start working), it’s kinda cool to see that each has turn into a working adults and shouldering different kind of responsibilities. And 2 of them fall in love with each other, sweet kan? To Fir & Seri ( Have a nice life together), Iman, Zeed & Izrin (who introduced me to Harry Potter series!) I will always cherish our memories together! It’s been an honour to meet and befriends all of you.

Listen : Keep holding on - A. Lavigne

update : The platform's name is Jerneh.

update2 : The pictures from Fir & Seri' wedding take ages to upload! erghh..probably later I'll post em lah.

Off to the space, don't know when I'll return..

My mind is doing this crazy thing again. I feel so space out, like an outsider looking at my own freaky life. No, freaky is such a wrong word to describe it. I am definitely not a freak. Maybe I think too much. It is some kind of urge to feel and experience different things from my normal, mundane and routine life. It’s so gripping and at times I am not even sure what are my motives and the reasons why I did some stupid things. What am I trying to prove? To whom? Does it matter? No. I had long time ago stop doing things to prove myself to other people; it’s useless and only wasting my energy and effort. It is my own happiness that I’m concern with, so that should clearly be my ulterior aim, but why oh why, I keep on making a mess? Ruining and letting down people who matter most to me? I wish I don’t have to feel like this. I wish to be happy, truly happy and don’t give a shit about other people. But knowing myself, I can’t. The idea of doing things without thinking of the consequences is too much to contemplate with. I am not that selfish anyway. But when it strikes once in a while, god! It feels good. The exhilarating feeling and the La la song I sang never sound sweeter than this. To hell with the guilty feeling, I’ll always end up with it anyway. Like now, I mean.

Yep, I do think too much.

Of Finals and Quick week

I wonder who can stop the amazing Federer. Yes, he is in the final again. Only his opponent this time is Gonzales who has squashed Nadal in quarterfinal and beaten Haas in semi yesterday. Hmm looking good, (his game I mean!) probably he’ll be among few players who can beat Federer? We’ll see this Sunday lah. And in ladies event we will see Sharapova will go against S.Williams, Interesting, both are having such loud grunts! It’ll be fun.

I feel like the past 5 days past me by ..just like that! Nothing much had happened at office anyway, except on Thursday there was a launching event of Gallery or sumthing. Office area was swarmed with invited guests and VIP. I joined few colleagues checking out the guests from our 4th floor office, looking down and scanning for the 2nd Finance Minister who came to replace DPM. Well, no such luck. We just continue with our stuff and by 5.45 pm when I came down to foyer, few meters away the chairman, MD and Company Secretary are bidding farewell to the 2nd Finance Minister himself, huh! Kinda sweet jugak orangnya. Hitam manis! Hehe

Weekend is here, and tomorrow I’ll probably just do my laundry and off to Seri/Fir wedding on Sunday. More on these 2 nice peoples and other 3 friends of them later.

Of all the concern etc

It was never easy. The matter involving heart and emotional and especially when it was mine that we’re talking about. I don’t really think everybody are having same predicament like me, boy! It’s far from it. In fact, I think I am among few unlucky ones in the Love department. Friends been labeling me as being too choosy and fussy when it comes to criterias of my man, but it’s not as easy as choosing fish at the market, aight? So I rationale to myself that it’s perfectly allright to be choosy. I, for one, do not wish to be ended with somebody’s husband (big no!) and worst, regretted the relationship later on. I do admit however that getting into any relationship is like putting your heart as the pawn, and elements of gambling are so glaring, and if you stare for too long you might get blinded yourself! (whatever I’m rambling about?) well, you get my point, ditcha? I believe that the right man will come along. Sooner or later, when I can find every answers to my questions and when it feel perfectly allright to risk everything just to see it works, then I know I found my true love. Finger crossed! Hahaha..so thank you my friends & family for all of your concerns, advices and kind words. Really appreciated it, but as it is, just be happy for me whether I’m single or hitched, will ya? Now bugger off and leave me alone!

On a separate note, Australian Open is reaching quarterfinal stage now. And I’m rooting for Andy Roddick after his superb performance so far. His nice butt is the plus point too!

And finally, I would like to wish my lovely niece, Nur Azizah who will turn 8 tomorrow – A very Happy Birthday! This is my niece whom I told countless (folk, legends, modern, horror, true or fabricated) bedtime stories since she is a baby! And now, even though she is already in school, she is still nagging me to tell her story whenever we meet. Aiyoh! I’m already out of story like 5 years ago, and since then it was always a fabricated one. You know the kind where you started about a boy or girl who doesn’t listen to their parents and ended up in trouble kinda story. Hmm..sweet, sweet girl. But Jijah, please stop fighting with your cousin ok? She’s only 4 years old! And your poor aunty is getting a splitting headache every time you are shouting to each other, and darling, please leave the door as it is, no need to bang it again and again. We heard you all right. Erghh! Kids.

Rainy Friday

Hi Y'all.

Ooh..I’m soo torn between 2 of my favourites – Roddick or Safin? Hmm, it’s 3rd round of Australian Open and I was home early today. No, not purposely for the tennis but I was out of SA since afternoon to collect prizes at KL Sentral office and planned to go to OU to send the voucher’s cheque. However, heavy rain dampened my mood and I decided to straight headed home from KL Sentral. Besides, I was soaking wet and drenched by rain while loading stuff into my car, sheesh!

Another weekend is here, folks! Let’s see, tomorrow I have an invitation for makan2 at Klang and later probably just hangout with Uf* at her father’s restaurant. I have to find time to pass some stuff to friend, and on Sunday am going for either bowling or movie with few other friends. Hmm..why la suddenly got so many things to do?

Personally, if you ask me to choose, I rather have a quiet weekend at home, reading.

But then, once in a while, you get bored sitting just by yourself, aight?


More later. Now, let’s get back to yummy Marat Safin!

Here are some pictures from Sunday visit..

The Colmar Castle

Fun Sunday

I know today's already Tuesday, but hey! Sunday was fun!

Met Angah & Co at Suria and accompanied them a while at Isetan for some shopping. Later met Ali*, Ro* & Hubby, Od* and Iv* & Co at Chilli's. We chat, eat, chat some more and keep refilling our (bottomless) drinks! After I had my ice lemon tea for like 7 times, we make a move and decided to get out of KL that evening.

Left my car at Projet Gombak and hopped into Ro* car and headed to Bukit Tinggi. It was my first time there and honestly the places is kinda nice in a quiet and peaceful way albeit the exorbitant newly-enforced charges for every visitors! As a consolotion of some kind, we only have to pay half-price (RM8, still!) because it is already 5 pm. The Colmar Castle is pretty (why I use that word?!) and different, duh! I've never been to any French Chateau, if not I would've been able to make more concrete observation or comparison, well, as in the case..I think it's quite majestic.

However, the Japanese Garden is quite unique. Although we have to walk (and climb) around the path for like 15 minutes, it's beautiful, especially the Koi Pond and natural trees all over the garden.

Then, we rushed to the Rabbit Farm (it's almost the closing time!) and watched the caretaker piled the rabbits and tranported them into their cages nearby.I was like..adoii! as if I can feel the pain of the rabbits! They were practically squashed together, man. Beside the rabbits, they are few donkeys and spotted deers too. We took some pictures using Od* N73 handphone and boy! it was so cool and the pics are crystal clear!

Next stop, Uf* restaurant, Nong Sa Thai at Wangsa Melawati for some dinner. A usual the tomyam is a must! I felt quite sleepy by the time we finished eating, but I'd promised to send Od* to get her car at Shah Alam and the fact that it was raining cats & dogs doesn't help either. Finally, arrived home around 12++ and zzzzz...

On Monday, we started new assignment for the year, but lucky me, I didn't have to go outstation just yet!

Of fun outings!

Hi y’all.

What a weekend so far! I was scheduled to take a half- day off on Friday, but by noon I was still busy finishing off some works which dragged me way past lunch hour and I ended leaving office at usual 5.30 pm. Headed straight to KL only to be stucked in massive Friday eve traffic jam along the Federal Highway. Instant decision was made and I diverted to Asia Jaya for an LRT ride into downtown instead. Arrived at Vistana Hotel and met Angah’s family with Raudhah asking endless questions on why I was so late. Haiyah! That girl really showing early signs of being a nag! Complete with hands on waist and her eyes rolling, too. Without further ado, we make ways to Tasik Titiwangsa for the evening highlight – Eyes on Malaysia! Have you been on the ride? It’s recently unveiled as an attraction in conjunction of Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and honestly, it’s quite impressive and exciting. The ride is smooth and the view is spectacular from the 60 meters-high suspended cabin. Be warned if you’re afraid of heights though, because it can make you feel queasy, I’m sure. Since we took the ride on night time, we only see the lights from surrounding buildings, famous KL landmarks like KLCC and the night view of KL skyline is actually not bad either. Shame I can’t take some nice pictures using Angah’s digital camera, as I didn’t work out the setting beforehand and I’m enjoying the ride too much to be busy with the setting! Another visit in daytime (and probably in weekdays!) would be fun as I love to know how far you’ll be able to see in daylight (if weather permit, that is!) After dinner in kg Bharu, I took the monorail & Putra LRT back to collect my car at PJ and headed home.

Bapak called me this morning and I practically jumping out of bed for shower and rushing to Vistana. Parked and bought a pack of expensive nasi lemak (RM5! it has fried chicken, but still!) from a nearby restaurant and headed to Angah’s room. And this time I finally brought ‘My Heart’ vcd which I secretly borrowed from Raudhah few weeks back and promised to return it back after she had asked me numerous time the whereabouts of the vcd every time we met! Tak bley tahan..

We then proceed for today’s plan – Zoo Negara! This is only my 3rd visit in a span of 20 years. I first went there with my school-visit while I was 9 yrs old and then visited again the zoo last 2 years with friends when we heard they opened at night time. And this time around, is by far most fun visit. The time spent with Raudhah and Jijie showing them around and together we ‘oohh’ and ‘aahhh’ at the animals. There were quite heavy drizzles of rain when we first arrived and 10 minutes later, weather clear off and we walk and walk and walk around the zoo while snapping pictures here and there. Raudhah laughed out loud when I said the giant tortoises are cramming inside their crib to watch tv and later she asked me why the elephant is turning himself into other direction (as in giving us his backside) and pissing there and there without going to toilet? Then, I laughed myself loud!

Jijie loved the Flamingos, (restless) leopard and he was unfazed at all while giving the carrots to the (very hungry) deers. My least favourite is the Reptile House as I can’t really stand to watch every boxes displaying snakes of every kind without feeling as if they are squirming around my neck! Gulp! And I so looking forward to see the Sumatra Tiger only to found out that he’s taking a nap at that time! Oi! Wake up la tiger! No amount of shouting managed to stir him from his slumber though. And yes, lion also sleeping next door. I wonder whether they probably got too much meat for lunch and you know what a heavy tummy done to your eyes, right?

Hippos are the cute lot, and there is also a new baby hippo! Monkeys as usual, are all aggressive in their cages and Jijie keep making ‘Hurrah‘ sounds as if he’s chasing the monkey away from stealing Nenek’s rambutan at home! We then took the train ride (pulled by tractor! Hehe) around the zoo area and later, headed out for a late lunch. I left them at hotel and drove home with a bundle of rambutans courtesy of Mak and smell of elephant dung linger on myself (no, there is no elephant dung on my t shirt, it’s just my mind – too much animals in a day did that to me!)

Tomorrow, I promise Angah for a shopping trip at Suria and then I’ll be having a get together with my favourite group of girls for lunch – old housemates from college days! Wreck havoc lot! we'll behave, I pwomise!

Mr. Tinkerman?..I'm not!

Urrghh..This html coding mumbo jumbo really testing my patience tonight. Hah! At least now I have a nice blue clock , able linking up some sites and a new template (new year, new template?). But how to get rid of that gray colour background from lower part of my side bar? (Aiyoh! Must get help from pro tomorrow!)

My left leg was cramped this morning and I was late for about 1 and 1/2 hour. Hmm..What about my new year resolution to be punctual everyday? well, you know.. shit happens.

In the evening there was a division meeting and The Boss asks us these 2 questions;

- What is your most important contribution to the division? And,
- What is it that you have not done in 2006 and will be doing in 2007?

Let me tell you it’s not that easy to answer them especially the first one. Honestly, I think because through out the year you felt like you’re trying your best to fulfill your responsibility by working together for the betterment of the department, hence it’s a bit tricky to actually single out most important contribution you’ve done in front of other colleagues without sound so important and know-it-all. In my opinion, most of us kinda tone-down our ‘contribution’ and mumble on something more general when answering the question. Or perhaps, it is not our culture to push our chest out (not literally! eh?) and lay down our contribution in words. But somehow it excites us if people noticed and give credit when we’ve done good, right? Well, all in all the boss highlights our weaknesses, pledge for improvement, remind us of our utmost motives yada..yada..yada..etc.

Later after work, I went to collect the dress to wear during our upcoming annual dinner in February. As part of the committee, we got to choose the special outfit and boy! The dress is so gorgeous! Enough said. Kinda looking forward to the event since this is my first time being part of the organizing committee. Although the works involved are not cheese cake either. Hmm..maybe I’ll post some pictures of me having good time during that night? We’ll see.

Love of my life..

(Don’t you just hate it when after you typed most of your thoughts down and suddenly your laptop shut itself down and pfftt! There goes all your entry of the day! Well, I persevere. And now I’m copying/paste this from MS Words instead! Haha)

Well, these 2 cute kids are my niece & nephew (from total of 6 ) But if you’re wondering where are the other 4,let’s save them for other entry, eh? The big sister is known as Raudhah or Odah and that most handsome guy in the neighborhood is going by the name Rafidzi or Jijie. They are both equally naughty, I think. But are so fun to be with! I miss hanging out with them. Even looking at their picture makes me wish I’m at Kg now. And yes, They even make long drive home tolerable. Odah is 4++ yrs old and Jijie just turned 2. They are always hogging the vcd player with her favourites – Barbie movies and his are Ultraman, Kuga and Teletubbies. Raudhah knows how to operate the vcd player and almost everyday, both can be found lying in front of tv watching Home Alone series, Garfields, Harry Potter series and even Titanic (gasp!). I love all my nieces & nephew and privately, I have such high hopes for all of them. My love and prays are always with them. Hoping someday they will make their parents proud, and their Mak Chah too!

On the other note, I am having quite busy day at work. It’s the time of the year when you thought that all loose ends from last year’s work had been tied up nicely, and Tadaa! Here come other loads of work for the year which has already begun pouring! Sheesh! Sometimes, late in evening while shutting down my laptop for the day, I wonder why I’m doing my job, day in day out for almost 5 years now. Not that I despise my job, but on certain days, I wish I’m away doing something else altogether! But then, at the moment I should probably just telling myself to keep slaving on. However nice and rosy my future plans are, I can’t just throw away my job for something which isn’t materializing just yet. You’ll be a fool if you think I’ll stay put and work my ass off here forever, but hey! We’ll see about that. When the time is right, I’ll make my move for sure. You just mark my words, dear.

Later.

Goodbye 2006..Hola to 2007!

Salam. Hello there.

So, there goes another year. I almost feel that 2006 has gone by in a blink of an eye! and so many things had happened in a year, it doesn't justify to write it all down here (plus I can't recall all things! haha) but some highlights to me are;

Feb - Parts from car were stolen, again! and lost my handphone.

March - My birthday was fun, away for job assignment in Kuantan and got surprise with a birthday cake by officemate & colleagues

April - Got promoted at work.

May/June - counting days in Kuching like crazy! stayed there for like 5 weeks and seriously..the fun has long gone (dear Boss; am not going to Kuching again this year! pleasee.. )

July - In Sabah again. The best assignment of the year, hands down! Spent memorable time with fun-crazy-mental officemates of mine.

August - Did i mention that I broke my wrist? well, somebody broke it actually with super- high-velocity-kick of a futsal ball straight to my open palm. (Sakit giler!) Can't forget the 'crack' sound when my wrist received the impact. But look at the bright side, I got sick leaves for 7 weeks! No pain, No gain! :)

October/November - Raya! best friend back from London, makan, open hses and got to meet old friends

December - Bonus! huahhauaha

well, that's it lah. And here to another prosperous, successful and great year of 2007!
