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* :(

Some pictures of moi and friends. Check out more at here Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.
