helooo there...

i just finished my 2-day Customer Appreciation Day last week. Deymmm..it was a good exposure, seriously.. Like, who in the blue hell lah can get me familiarize with all those issues in just 2 days. Just 2 demm days. Maaann... There were so many unhappy people in this company. My heart and sympathy went to those unlucky lot who were mostly depressed and extremely demotivated about their future progression. Whateva issue that I could answer and solve right there and then, have already been done. Some needed further follow-ups. But seriously.. I was quite taken aback by some of the issues raised by them. I mean, banyak nye kelemahan-kelemahan yang agak ketara yang rase-rase nye, if any means of prevention wasn't taken, soon many ppl will be leaving and those who stayed would stay depressed. I am sure that the management would have their own explanation and reasons on this but retaining the most important resource of all which is manpower is far more critical.


the nicest good luck charm that someone could get to start a big day ahead =)

anyways, on a lighter note, i did many socially-interesting things the past few days. movies, hanging out, makan2 (more like melantak), kenduri kahwins, wedding receptions, meeting old friends etc etc.. full okk social calendar! and im on leave next week. Wuhooo!! Indah indah..I am mentally planning what I wanna do nantik. tak sabar okk!! Mrs.Boss will be missing me so dem much! Muahahahahaha.....

..........

oooh-la-la

Yep we did go to Rock The World 7! Yeeaaahh!! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the whole rock-thing. We arrived a bit late, around 4.30-ish. By that time the concert has already started and swarmed by kazillions of ppl. Raaaaammaaaaiiii gile manusia okkk!!! Most of them were youngsters/teens/kids/whateva, high school leavers I reckon. Me and Sharil looked like we were almost out of place since most concert-goers had black t-shirts on. That emo-punk-rock kinda thing. Well, you know la what I mean kan. Kids nowadays... *geleng kepala* (Haha..) There were 3 stages ; the Main Stage, Indie Stage and last but not least the Discovery Stage. The weather was hoooot i tell you. I particularly was drenched in sweat. Since the sun was freaking hot & burning, everyone was practically sweating and smelly. Hoho. Don't wanna go into details abt BO here but I'm sure you can use your imagination (something like being stuck in a sardine-ed lrt on your way back from office...ring any bells??) Anyhou, the performance were awesome y'all!!!! We constantly went back & forth between the Main and Discovery stage. Main Stage was where the major rock acts performed. Namely Pop Shuvit, Love Me Butch, One Buck Short, LO, Koffin Kanser etc etc. The crowd was massive! And wild!!! But I'd say that the Discovery Stage was much more entertaining. Personally i think, what they had there was super-duper-absofuckinglutely-fantabolouss!! Bands like Brainhead, Isaac Entry, They Will Kill Us All, to name a few, and of course Reza Salleh, were just goooood!!! I assumed tht I'd be going home early coz of the hot weather and band mase ptg tu pun so-so jek.. But then, after Maghrib break, it was getting better!

So anyways, picturessss.....!!!


i think this was Isaac Entry.


band yg best tapi x ingat nama


with a lead singer who very much looked like Creed's Scott Stapp. (tp jurukamera dengkiiiiiiii saje amik gamba gelap!!!!!)


drenched in sweaaaaaattttttt...


reza salleh!!!!! *drool drool* =P (but seriously this guy was good! check out his gig schedule or go visit his personal site.

So yeah ppl, I had a helluva fun last Saturday! Thanks to you! =)

i'm-sooo-gonna-have-fun-tomorrow-wuhoooo!!!-post

Sooo.... tomorrow i'll be seeing my babe in Permata after not seeing him for 2 weeks!! *seronoknye yg tidak dapat digambarkan dgn kate2 macam nak tarik2 rambut ni haa* Haha.. ni baru 2 bulan ok! kalau 2 bulan, 2 tahun ke?? Argghh!! Kalau dia kena pegi off-shore ke? (Manela tau kaaan...)Like, kena pegi sebulan dua pastuh baru jejak kaki kat darat ni haa.. Kalau tetibe kena transfer pegi Kertih ke, lagi haruk macam Bintulu ke Miri ke Labuan ke? Camne? Camne?? Hooowww?? *cemas, cemas..toloong!* I just freaking hope not! (At least for now..) Anyhou...Sebagai menggembirakan dan memeriahkan lagi janji temu pada esok hari, kami bercadang hendak ke Rock the World 7 itu. Selebih masa akan digunakan utk gazing into each others' eyes (1,2,3....Aooowwwww..), gelak2 over silly jokes yg selalunya dibawa oleh yours truly, menjadi belangkas, mengada2 seeking for his attention (I LOIKEEE!!), gelak2 lagi dan sambung bergumbira tanpa henti dan had. Aaaahh.. Indah indah.. *radius senyuman melampau*

So ppl, havva jolly good weekend!!!!
Mwwaaaahhhhss!!!

Happy 11th!!

sweet sweet memories..

once upon a time when birthday bash is a must!


3 Monkeys


yes, we're nerds.. So what?!..

nostalgic me

My eyes hurt like hell today. (Must be the aftermath of crying last night). Several hours are enough to make them sore, red and painful tahap dewa. The eye-bags? Getting worse than ever. Talking about eye bags, I guess my eyes will never be the same again. Like you know, where once upon a time, I used to have a pair of big sparkling (I'm exaggerating) eye-bag free eyes, without any trace dark circle under them. And now! There are these nasty bags under me eyes! Hate it and hope it will go away someday. Having them just makes me look like some crazy old lady (with a hip collection of shoes and heels)…or like I was dragged in by an angry stray cat. On another note, how was everyone's weekend? Mine was so-so. Having your boyfriend away in some hulu place for a month plus was definitely taxing (yes, I'm insanely missing you ok! =( Come back soon..) But it was a positive change of air I must say and not that bad really. Now that I'm literally single temporarily (ahemm..) this is the time for me to splurge on non-stop window-shopping, real shopping, coffee with my girlfriends, lunch with my PIPE friends, movie with Sha (my bagaikan belangkas officemate. Plus Ajlaa, we are the triplets! Hoo-Yeaaah!!Haha..). Like today, I had lunch with Huda and Kimah and was later joined by Mapen and Hasfuan. It was great. We had so many things to talk about. Just like the good old days when we shared all kinds of gossips. It reminded me of the times when Kimah and Huda were housemates and I stayed just a floor below them. I still remember when our own antique but definitely useful little green car had a flat tyre when we were at Toowong celebrating Kimah’s birthday at Sizzler. Left with no choice, the 3 of us, Kimah, Baya and me walked home. Maka menapaklah kami dr Toowong ke St Lucia. It wasn't that near but we made it a fun 20-30 minutes journey to walk through. Dahla dah malam. Our neighbourhood was quite ok as generally the Aussie community was the mind-your-own-business type but friendly and helpful. Ragut-free and samun-free (during my time there laa, at least). Just beware of the stok-stok pemabuk yang akan lupa diri and also the homeless or those who looked like them. The kutu-kutu jalanan. I was harassed once at Indoroopilly Mall when waiting for the bus. Unlucky me, I was alone at that time. There was this one shabby guy who came out of nowhere. He came up to me up front and yelled something like, "Go back to your f***ing Arab country!" Ok first I was soo damned shocked. Tak terkata apa. Rupa dahla garang. I just managed to keep quiet and rushed off from where I was standing to a safer place, which was inside the mall itself. I noticed that angry, scruffy guy was still eyeing me as I walked. Thank God he didn't follow me ke hape or continue menjerit2 tak tentu arah at me. But still I could hear him mumbling words of harassment at me. And most importantly I was really grateful that at least he wasn't being physical like pulling my tudung or pushing me etc. And at the same time I saw a few policemen nearby. Pheww! Arab country? Ikut suka hati je. Ingat perempuan Arab je pakai tudung dalam dunia ni? Pakai tudung je Arab. Huh! Obviously I didn’t look Arab-ish at all. Not even a bit. Pure Melayu. Uncivilized lot!!

Anyways, I suddenly miss Brisbane, its people, the precious memories (countless!), my fellow friends; some of them are still there and some of them have graduated and embarked on their own paths. I miss my old room waaay back in Campus Lodge. I miss the booming music at Cromwell College and the loud partygoers during their so-called welcoming bunkers. I miss walking all the way the peaceful path heading to the IT Comp Lab. I miss hating those difficult practicals in one of the comp labs and secretly wished that session was cancelled or the system down or the lab was burnt down. I miss having a cute male Aussie tutor in my Business tutorials. I miss stopping by the small-wheeled-coffee-stall and ordered "One hot vanilla latte with skimmed milk!". I miss listening to the live bands playing just outside the Uni cafeteria (Sometimes they had students break dancing!) on Thursday afternoons. I miss the Wednesday Market where they had variety of knick-knacks, vintage clothing, cheap second-hand books and of course the funky badges. I miss having Sushi, Kebab or the freshly handmade pizzas for lunch. I miss the evening walks through the jogging path by the Brisbane River. I miss watching movies at the super-enormous Southbank cinema. I miss wandering in the Brisbane city alone, window-shopping at Valley Girl, had a Yam Milk Tea Bubble Tea and then took the citycat home. I miss having waffles with caramel with iced choc at the Pancake Manor's. I miss hanging out with a bunch of girlfriends late at night at the cool Three Monkeys. I miss Soiree. I miss Ekka. I miss Sexpo (Hahaha..). I miss Chinatown with its small stalls selling cool vintage stuff. I miss saying thank you while getting off the bus and had the bus driver replied,"No worries!". I miss a lot more things that are too many to be listed here. I wish that one day I could return back to Brisbane and do all these, again.

Friday is just a few hours away

Okay i cant wait for tomorrow to come. Coz i have a few fun things coming up. besides the fact that Friday has always been my favourite day. will be having a Briefing Session on Customer Appreciation Day tomorrow in the morning, which will take almost half of my working day. Lesser working hours left. Yeayy!! Then lunch, which I'm planning to go sauna at TTFC (Haha.. I am vain now ppl!!) Nooooo, not vain but it's called self-indulgence. Sometimes a girl just need to pamper herself and do a lil' bit of taking-care-of-my-body stuf. I loike!! Then in the evening, will be going to this Steps class with Naj and Nikki at Fitness First. Thank you for the free pass darlings! More sauna afer that.. I am looking forward going to this class since I really wanna spend quality time with my much-loved GFs (and also to drench in sweat ;p).

They were like, "So I heard ur laling is away for a month for Orientation. So r u singing "lonely...i'm so lonely....there's nobody to call my own ooohhhhh" Hahaha.. Then, "It's a date laa tomorrow. No confirm confirm later aaaa.."(referring to our gym class tomorrow)

Hahaha.. Because it's been a while since I last attended a lepak session with everybody there. They complained that it was a bit hard to get hold of me since I was a bit occupied lately with, ahem, dating. Heheh.. Of course maa. My 'laling' is going away for 1 mth so I need to optimize whateva time that is left. Now that my 'laling' is already enjoying himself to the max tahap tak hengat dunia with nutin to do but having fun 24/7 (hehe), I'm all yours!

Then later after gym, I am accompanying my sist to watch a movie. Not just any normal movie. But a Hindi movie. Gosh! What have I got myself into? (its ok najwa, you'll be fine. Just inhale deeply.....Now exhaleeee..) Hope it's a good movie. Or else I'll just force myselff to doze off for that 3 long hours of watching the carefully and beautifully selected panoramic views as the background off pretty actresses and hunky actors dancing and miming songs.

Cepatlaa Friday!!!

the art of claiming

No matter how advance the technology is, an eye for details is still of great importance. terbukti sitem yang canggih yang hanya memerlukan jari untuk menekan beberapa butang penting, tidak dapat dipercayai sepenuhnya jika penglihatan yang tajam untuk penelitian tiada. or is our SAP system yang mengong? (bad najwa baadd..no blaming pls on a Tuesday morning) Fine fine.. if not, maybe i-Perintis isn't playing its function (Duuh! This is like, a truth well-known to all even without me blaming or ppl pointing fingers). Isn't a system of a certain technology should be well-equipped, time and cost-saving and most importantly, hassle-free? If the system isn't fulfilling these criteria baik pakai manual jer sumer. Huh!! That old makcik certainly has got a point in this. No wonder she's still using the ol' school way of checking & double-checking every single thing. Anyhow, I kept sending and resending my electronic claim form to the much-dislike mrs.boss. It was a HASSLE doing this coz I got tonnes of much more important work to be done and also I need the money. Setakat 10, 2o hinggit tu boleh laa pejam sebelah mata je. Ni beratus ok! It wasn't her money pun yang will deducted in the first place if she approves my claim. Ntahla. I just don't see why she was making such a big fuss over a tiny-miny thing like this. And it didn't affect her credibility or whateva sh*t pun as a superior. And it wasn't hard at all to click the "Approve" button and let the system do the rest. Geez... Sungguh dengki.

I am impressed by..

..a healthy dose of self-confidence that simply radiates beauty and grace. Because to me, nothing's more natural than that ..

Have a good weekend ppl!
(i know i'm gonna have one *wink*)

clicking wasn't so easy

My life was peaceful these past 3 days. Reason no.1 being mrs.boss was away, out-station sumwhere. it wasnt only me who was breathing easily and enjoying working throughout the day, but the rest of my colleagues too! but tomorrow she'll be back, ruining our mood and making our lives miserable again. Reason no.2 being, EDC was over. the preparation of the package was damn meticulous. not even a single mis-spelled was allowed. since my dept was short of hands (and legs and eyes and brains too) i really felt the pressure to make sure everything was perfect. It wasn't an easy job being a consolidator. Esp when it was your first time doing it. Talked about multi-tasking here. I had to "menghonggoh" everyone in my dept to submit everything early who in turn went "menghonggoh" their OPUs that they were in charge of, in which sometimes these OPUs still failed to respond to being "dihonggoh".The reaction chain. Trust me, it was far from being trouble-free. Straightforward didn't exist in this chain. In the end, the person who "menghonggoh" it all would always be the one who people looove to point fingers at. You might be thinking, but what about the but-i-am-new-to-all-these excuse? Hmph! In an environment that allows almost no mistake to be done, plus a boss who is.. oh well you know..malas nak eleborate lagi, it was hard i tell ya'.. Mrs boss always win no matter how the situation is. Coz mrs.boss always had someone to put all the blame on. Anyways, during the EDC Meeting tht day, since I was the consolidator, i had to be the click-click girl as well in which I had to, you know, click. It might be easy to some, click je lah mouse tu, and make sure you didn't go too fast or worse, slow. BUT, when you were in a room surrounded by all the big guns, VP for HR, the MD/CEOs, CEOs, GMs, SGMs segala..then you'd know how it felt. Maan, I had butterflies the size of super-giants in my tummy.There was this one time when all those big shots were in a very heated argument and the VP was looking rather displeased with all the fuss, out of nowhere, the VP asked me, "Siapa nama you?" "Najwa" "Ok Najwa..You faham tak ape yg they're discussing about?" "Errr..Faham.." "Ok I nak you jot down ye and calculate balik the numbers.." I didn't think I sounded like myself. I didn't think that I look like I understand it all at that time. Ok I was seriously flabbergasted. Because I actually had a conversation with THE VP. Hahaha.. Boleh tak?

Nothing like a gerbera on an early Saturday morning

I have always marvelled at how surprises could stun me and made me went aaaooowww-ing esp when I was at my office immersed in my work, when suddenly someone came by and gave me that!

the return of how to cook a super birthday

So last Friday my personal rockstar turned 23 (now you HAVE to accept the fact that we share the same age). I wanted to do something special for him. Unlucky me, I was doomed to be super busy the whole week that I didn’t have enough time to properly plan his so-called big birthday bash. Kenapalah secara tiba-tiba sahaja mrs.boss harus menganugerahkan kerja-kerja saat terakhir yang tidak sepatutnya saya lakukan. Saya cumalah benih picisan (seeding) yang tidak beberapa mahir lagi dan memerlukan banyak lagi tunjuk ajar yang jarang-jarang diberikan. Dang mrs.boss!!

anyhouuu....in the midst of crazy deadlines, I was also busy outlining the plans for his birthday. Not laa that I was doing something super-extravaganza like having strippers coming over or a marilyn Monroe look-alike to pop out of a birthday cake and sing happy birthday to him. I just wanted it to be special. And special it turned out to be. To him, at least :)

A few days before his birthday, we went window-shopping at KLCC’s Philosophy Men. Browsed through the range of accessories that they have in store. He displayed keen interest in one of the leather wrist band. It was nice. Suited him perfectly. I was praying hard that he wouldn’t buy it at that time. And he did not! Yeayy!! Meaning, I knew what I was gonna get him for his birthday.

So here's the list of things (okkk..i can hear you guys yawning already.Hahaha..) that I did on the big day:

To start it all nicely, I put a birthday card, plus Toblerone, on his desk, as a pre-birthday surprise before he reached his office.
Lunch hour: Went to buy the gift. Wanted to have it wrapped there but they didn't have that kind of service (WTF???). So I rushed to Memory Lane and asked for a custom-made silver box to put it in. And time time ni laaaa, si pembuat kotak itu boleh nak take his own sweet time to do everything. Dgn org2 ramai lining up. Ramailah pulaaaak yang celebrate birthday hari tu.I was like hellooooooo, cepat sikit boleh tak dik? Ntah hape-hape lah nasib dengan customer service hari tuuh..
Remaining time during lunch hour: Called up TGV, and several cafes to have a quick bite coz u know lah kan how all these outlets were always packed with people on a Friday evening.Called Gloria Jean's(wanted to book tht one particular special sofa where everything started. heh.but couldn't coz it was only the 2 of us.Dang!!), Dome(it had just been renovated. looked pretty with all those cozy sofas..)
after lunch hour,back to office:busy with his gift, adding some last minute touch to it.haha.. at the same time being interrupted by makcik-makcik itu yang gemar menyibuk.Pweeehh...
at approx. 5 pm: out of the office.i'd better be before mrs.boss "unintentionally" asked me to stay back to do stuff for her. went straight to Gloria's hoping that I could get hold of that special sofa. BUT to no avail.That sofa was always occupied. Dang!! I wonder why..... Ended up going to Dome's and yeayy managed to get a pretty nice seat. (i dunno why, but seats are always important to me).

.....finally,i waited for him to come with a birthday pressie nicely wrapped and a big smile on my face. The rest of the nite went well... Glad you liked it! And you're 23 now!!! *lol*

"Usually, the greatest men are born in this month"



Happy Birthday to you, my favourite :)

untitled

i know i haven't been around lately.
since it has been quite a while from the last time i put up a hello-world-i-am-down entry so today i decided to say that im freaking depressed.
because of everything and nothing.
so freaking depressed that it dawned on me that i couldn't do anything right at this point of time.
i couldn't even type a simple email to asking for updates from OPU who havent responded back with the requested info.
i couldnt simply just eat junk food and let the artificial colours and flavours work their magic on boosting my mood.
i couldn't eat my breakfast in peace as usual coz this is my fave time everyday before the demanding schedule started to get in (yeah ppl, it's true my schedule is hectic. some of you might start rolling your eyes at me now)
i couldn't even figure out why i was feeling what i felt now.
sigh.
im seriously depressed......

pre-raya mood

in the spirit of raya, i feel totally unmotivated to do work today. holiday will start tomorrow - yeay!im like, counting every second now before i can go off today.but heck, im working next monday since the GM said he needs at least someone (or two) in the office. to what??to do work? (definitely no).to receive and return calls?(helloooo..?? majority of the population in both towers is already enjoying themselves in their respective kampungs).to plan the agenda after raya? (my brain is so dead now that i cant even do simple math calculation). But being the newest in the dept and to avoid knowing smiles and annoying friendly arguments among my colleagues about who should stay on Monday,hence i volunteered to work on tht day.Alaaa..tak cakap nak keja pun, i know the victim will always be the newbies like me.Hmph!A bit like, kebengangan ketika itu buuuut thinking that since i dont balik kampung coz i dont have one, apalah salahnya mengalah sekali-sekala...kaaan?All in the name of raya.Well,Sharil is already in Penang that day(and for the next 7 days or so.*sad*).So,I'll be left alone.Arrgghh..Bosan giler okk!!! Planning to do stuff unrelated to work next Monday (like; to finish up sewing beads on my kebaya perhaps.Hohoho..) BUT the GM will also be working on that day(why laa...whyy???).Never mind then,i'll just pretend to look like busy.

Anyways, have you watched the latest Petronas tv commercial for Hari Raya and Deepavali?Do watch it if you havent.Esp the Hari Raya ad.Its good. So good and touching that i even dropped a tear or two while being immersed watching it on telly.And of course, there was always the morale behind it like any other Petronas commercials.

More updates. My father's aunt (so who can figure out whts my relationship with her is called?) is celebrating her 60th birthday on the 4th Hari Raya.So, being a super wealthy, successful and generous (err..still didnt know what the relationship is but i usually called her Wan Annie) businesswoman, she invited all her relatives, families and close friends to celebrate her birthday at PJ Hilton.And the best part is everyone must wear anything that looks 60s-ish.Celebrate 60th bday,dinner theme pun 60s.Nicely planned.But the catch is, how lah im gonna find 60s stuff to wear which is actually appropriate for a family gathering?This is when i need my creative wits back.

Another joyful story.The whole HRM division is organizing a dinner.Theme:70s. Pulak laah... Cant imagine what all the big shots like the GMs and the SGMs are gonna wear.Hmmm.....

On a lighter note,tomorrow will be a big day out for me and my siblings sempena raya.Planning to do some last minute shopping (I can see you roll your eyes already mr.bf!Haha..) at Sogo, Jalan TAR and the Masjid Jamek Areas. And theres a buka puasa cum mini gathering of PIPE 5 at Marriott later this evening. Oh im so looking forward to that.My tummy is already making funny noises thinking of the delicious and mouth-watering food that im gonna feast on sat lagi.Aaahhh....

So, what are you having for buka puasa today?

picture in a frame

what is far more intoxicatingly sweeter, blissfully flattering and definitely most incredible magical moment that takes your breathe away, than a dozen roses and a box of Ferrero Rochers?

answer: a picture of him and me in a nice frame given to me early in the morning (sampaikan sanggup keluar rumah awal and rushing to the office just so he could get to my cubicle before me and put the frame there as a little surprise) But I got there before him though.Hehe.. (I'm sorry babe.Somehow, I always beat you in this).



Life has been marvellous so far (brownie points). I have been confirmed as a permanent staff (just waiting for that letter.Hoo-yeaah!), I am spending Ramadhan in Malaysia (with all its glorious bazaars and tempting Raya sales.Aaahh..), I am enjoying the fact that I can finally shop for my baju raya (luv it to the max.im baju-raya hunting at Jln TAR this weekend y'all!!!), soon I'll be celebrating Raya with all my beloved ones, surrounded by families, close and good friends and of course my adoring and adorable boyfriend.

So what more can I ask for?

Selamat berbuka everyone!!!

sexy, sexy song....i love it...

gone going

i was feeling a bit weary these past few days.not that there wasnt any office work to do.there were zillions of them being queued up waiting to be completed.hence that explained the exhaustion.plus it was the fasting month.(macam x biasa je.selama ni boleh pulak.hmph!) there were too many things to think about.and i'd lose the capacity to think at times coz my mind was just too tired.even as i wrote this, i wasnt sure whatever i was thinking of was the one to be thinking of coz thinking just made me go all cranky and i think i hate to think. (geddit? heck, i wasnt sure i did).anyhou, i'll be going off for my first outstation trip to Miri tonight.but don't worry, to those who miss me.i won't be gone for too long.friday nite im back in kl.anyone with whatsoeva plan this coming weekend (be it shopping, buka puasa, bummering around, lepak etc etc), PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW..Nak ikut!

gone going
gone everything
gone give a damn
gone be the birds when they dont want to sing
gone people all awkward with their things
gone you see yourself in the mirror
and you ...feel safe cause it looks familiar
but you're ...afraid to open up your soul
cause you ...dont really know, dont really know who is
the person thats deep within

bye darlings!

jalan-jalan cari makan (for buka puasa)

Masjid India and Jln TAR have never failed to amuse me when it came to raya-shopping.everything that they had in store were fantabolous.Be it baju raya, kasut raya, tudung raya, kuih raya and every existence asociated with the raya word.Impressive variety.Colourful crowds.Festive sense of environment.So considering all these factors in mind, me and younger sist went for our pre-raya shopping spree to 'usha-usha' the raya stuff tht they have.Rambang mata ni haa!!Realized that it had been 2-3 years since the last time that I did my raya shopping.That explained the excitement.Thrills thrills thrills! Yeaaahh!! Soon after our adventurous stall-hopping,we went to Sogo.Tu lagi la.Ultimate shopping spree.The shoes there i tell you, tempting and more importantly, they were cheaper!!Bought a pair for my sist.Thinking of getting a pair (or two) for myself, but nnt dulu laa.There are far more important things in my must-buy list.Anyways,tak cara laa went home dgn tangan kosong kan? So i managed to get my self a new Momoe Polkadot purse (i like i like i like.Dahla it was the last piece available) and several pearl bracelets.Total satisfaction :) The next day I went to the same place again with mr.bf. As usual, our weekend outings were always interesting and so far never disappointed me.Was planning to buy that pretty baju raya tapi time didnt permit as we had to rush to Naan's Corner for our proper buka puasa after that.Since, we ony buka puasa with a few cucuk lidis (as i'd like to call it) and the super nice Ice Calypso coffee (nih mmg coffee terbaik coming from a van bergerak.Saingan sengit for Coffee Bean!Dahla murah ok.) In short, my weekend was great.Looking forward for my next raya-shopping outing!

shoes, ramadhan and I

it has been, what, 3 years or so that i didn't get to go for my regular visits to pasar ramadhan.Studying abroad did cut you off from that privillege.Yeah, yeah i know the Brisbane(ers) had this Bazaar Ramadhan ala-ala pasar juadah kat Msia last year but STILL..tak sama laa kan..Mane lah nak dapat kuih onde2 di salut real kelapa.Or keropok lekor. Or goreng pisang nangka or pisang awak yg lembut dan manis.Dan macam2 lagi.But it was really fun though.Malaysian students helping each other out to prepare, cook and set up stalls. Some even sold kuih raya.Meriah in its own way. It was like we knew each other in our not-so-big community.Sweet sweet memories.Anyways, going to Pasar Juadah nearby my place is going to be my favourite time every single day,this Holy month.I was like a kid in a candy store with lotsa food on the menu.Rambang mata! Almost all of my favourite food is there.Thinking of setting my own list of menu of what to buy for each day.To avoid food and money waste.

Theres a saying that shoes tell a lot about a person.I am not really sure how valid this statement is but all i know is wearing nice shoes really make me feel more confident in many different ways.Its like your acting the characteristics that the shoes carry with it.This is not about me not being myself or faking it or whatever.I dont know how to express this but shoes do play a big role in my life.Which explains the boxes and many pairs of shoes that I own.Some I havent even worn yet.You should have looked at my mom's face everytime I went home carrying a(might be more than one :P) new box of shoes.Shoes are definitely addictive.As well as a personal rockstar.Heheh..Mind you, not everyone can afford a personal rockstar who effortlessly play your favourite songs with the guitar and all, over the phone without the slightest hesitation.Aaahh..Life is beautiful indeed.(Thank you, rockstar!)

3rd Sept 2006 - the day i got 'kantoi' big time at Gloria Jeans, KLCC


sometimes when u really really need to keep a secret, you'd blurt it out (without prior warning) and to your surprise, you're glad that you did =)


dang! faizal should win



i dont know bout u guys but i dig this one in a million show and i really really think and hope that he should have been the winner.Come on la!Suki???(What the..?)I personally think that faizal is very very talented. His voice.Whoaa~~ His performance on stage.Lagilaa.Terbaik ok.Remember his final performance?Mcm concert!!Gempak gempak.Why la why Suki??Ok her voice was good but Faizal's was way better.We need more singers like Faizal not Suki, honestly..Sigh..

But a fun-loving and sassy gal like you can't say the momentary comeback of leg warmers didn't make you smile at least a little.Something about the era of big belts, stirrup leggings, and dangly earrings gives you inspiration for your own closet. Whether it's the bright colors or bold patterns that inspire you, a rock star like you is all about making a statement that's all your own. And your love of the hairspray decade only proves that you're a girl unafraid to show her sass and wear her attitude. Who can argue with that?"



(This is the result when I couldn't open my Lotus mail and get on with my kazillions of work.Blame it on the technology! Muahaha..).

This highly proves my love for old-skool sneakers and peep-toe heels and big chunky accessories plus bright,happy colours and bold patterns like polkadots and the retro designs. Just the other day I bought this red and white polkadot shirt-dress at Sg Wang.That dress summarized what love-at-first-sight means to me! And believe me,it could happen over and over again (we are only talking about dresses here ye.No other living things are included). I adore Sg Wang to the max! Maybe the styles that they have in stores are just what i am looking for.Like the variety of groovy knee-length dresses and funky shoes + accessories. Much inspired by the Japanese streetwear I reckon.And I totallllyy dig it!!!! If only i could wear those styles to work.I'd be happy =)

PIPE 5 hangover...


all of us.. (spot me!)


posing baeeeek punya..heheh..


getting ready before my first beach soccer game (spot me!)


squeeeeeze picture! :)

Tak ter elaborate with words how I miss the Pipe 5 gang and the good times that we had. Hence the pictures because they speak a thousand words!

curi-curi update blog during chemistry class

K.i'm in one of the labs at Instep.Was supposed to do an e-learning on Distillation process (what the..?!?..) The last time i came in contact with any chemistry-related materials was when I did my foundation in kDU. Terase cam nak bunuh diri ok bosan, and complex.Duh~~ I salute those passionate chemists.Don't even think of becoming one if you lack the patience.You might become insane! Anyhow, for the last 2-3 days we had a beach soccer tournament.Girls against girls.I was so reluctant at first.Okla,pernahla diajar sepak2 bola once oleh this talented soccer player.But to actually play for a match,I don't think so!Tapi sbb tak cukup org, i just joined in with a hope that I wouldn't be embarassing myself too much. Main defend ok! Hahaha.. To my surprise,it was a helluva game.Super fun!Me and Niza were truly a compatible collaboration playing defend.Bak kata penonton2 perlawanan, kami bagaikan Cannavaro dan juga Nesta,berusaha bersungguh-sungguh mengclear kan bola.Eceehh...Ahahaha..Like I'd believe that!If only you guys could see me kicking the ball like giler!Mencabar ok!It was so damn funny when the guys stood aside and were screaming on top of their lungs, giving directions to us girls how to play.Memang klaka giler!!! The only downside of playing beach soccer was I sprained my foot.I got my first soccer injury! Oh yeaaahh..!!Quite serious actually.Terhencut2 for several days.Dgn takde tukang urut nyer.Terpakselah picit2 sendri and pakai bandage. The injury didn't stop me from playing in the next few games though.I am hooked on beach soccer!!!! Yeaaahh!!Truly addicted.Best dow men bola! Can't believe that i'm actually saying this.Hahaha.. Anyhow,we're gonna have netball matches next week.Let's just hope my foot is already as good as new by that time.

east coast is pretty cool

but I miss their absence...



takpelah,absence makes the heart grows fonder, kaaann?...

the day i get access to the internet

Yeay!! Hehe.. I am now in the Resource Centre at Permata,happily browsing, checking my emails and of course updating my blog. I just want to tell a story. It was abt my LRT crush.One day when I was waiting for the train to stop at Putra station, I was busy skimming through my Da Vinci Code's book and at the same time happily reading my smses. So immersed I was, that I didnt realized that there was this guy who was staring at me. Usually, I'd just ignore this but this time I didn't coz this was one hot guy!Haha..At first, I just pretended buat taktau and started to stare into different direection.Manela tau kot2 die pandang dinding kat belakang aku tu ke.Malula pulak kan nanti.Hehe.So, after a few mins or so,I sharply turned back to where he was standing, with the intention to kantoi kan die stare.And memang kantoi pun!Big time.Haha.And he smiled at me.Giving me one of the best smiles ever!Niiiiceee...Aku cam dah termalu and stared back at him blankly.Not a cool move,eh..I should've returned him a smile ker hape ke.Dang!!Anyways,when the train arrived, I quickly got off the train.While walking,tak sedar pulak that guy was walking exactly next to me.Then he walked away heading to his car I assumed while I waited at the buswaiting area.And guess what,while both of us were were walking,kitorang cam saling memandang.Hahah.Die pandang aku,like expecting something frm me and I quickly buat2 taktau.Pastu when I stared back at hime he pulak did the same.Hahaha..Cam dlm movie ak? Lawak pun ye juge.Kelakar kelakar.So,He walked to his car.After a few mins, (I was standing at the waiting area,staring at the passing cars and buses) when all of a sudden I saw his car passing through and guess what,he was staring at me(again) while driving and quickly pandang depan balik when I caught him staring.Hehe.Cuteness.Indah nye moment itu.Ahaha..U wont believe this but 2-3 days after that, I bumped into the same guy again,dlm train, and,he recognized me by giving me that same smile and stare! Awww...Sweet nye, sweet nye..I had a feeling that he was about to say something when the train stopped and I got off the train.Alaaaa..Lambat lah mamat nih..Dang! Anyhou..The next day, I attended this orientation prog and dah tak naik lrt dah for the next 2 months.I just hope that I'll bump into him again.And when the time comes,I hope he'd still recognize me.Hehe..

long vacation

I will be away for 2 months attending the Induction Programme at PERMATA and later in Terengganu. 2 months away from office is enough for me to consider it as a loooong vacation. Looking forward to it!

Anyways, Argentina defeat last Friday nite was really a let down. Dah takde point nak tengok World Cup dah pasnih Argies dah takde! Dang!! And England was out.Hooraah!Yesterday I went shopping and found this stripey blue and white Argies travelling bag.Bought it!! Hahah.. "We will walk tall despite Argies' lost". Yeaaahh!!.. (Familiar? Hehe..Go Argies!!)..I wanted to eleborate more about the nite I had to book a table at Mail's Corner to watch the not-t0-be -missed match yg penuh dgn kejadian2 menarik (trust me on this) tapi I seriously dont have the time. But yeah,it was super duper fun! Thanks to those who came! Muuaahhs!! (I will always remember the weird guy yg menimbulkan kebengangan suke sangat pandang belakang and gave that oh-I-so-know-Germany-will-win-tonite look everytime Germany ade moments nak menang.Chet!!)

While I am away I am sure I will miss everything and every single soul (yes u know who u are!). Bye for now. And watch this space for me kayh,dearies! Tata!

we are all on drugs eh no, in love.. heh..

on heavy rotation



anyhow, may Monday brings the best out of you!

i have extreme dislike for:

• cigarettes
  
• cigarettes' smoke
  
• smokers (who at the point of smoking,are within 30 cm radius frm where i'm at)
  

With those significantly highlighted, I am now happily moving on to the less irritating bits of facts that had been and will be happening in my life.

1. I hope the supposedly good thing will happen soonest to those who truly deserve it. My prayers are with you always.
   
2. I hate mucus.Nasty Mr.mucus. Baaaadd.. Been srot-sretting for the past few days.It was annoying.
   
3. I had a weird dream for 2 consecutive days, where in my dream, there was this person whom I shared a close connection with once, but was not related to me anymore in any way. Way too weird.
   
4. I'm in love with Arctic Monkeys' Mardy Bum and 311's Love Song. many thanks to a trusworthy source of good music :) Yes, I will delete the Juanes' Album.Pwehh..How come lah I can ask u to download all his songs for me?Begitu menyakitkan telinga sekali. But u did go through the trouble anyway.Thanks for that.Hahaha.. Lesson learnt: Jangan terpedaya dgn lagu-lagu Juanes!!
   
5. I want to watch Da Vinci Code again.
   
6. My bro has got and accepted a scholarship prog to further his studies this coming July and my sist was on the Dean's List for her final semester.Double happiness!
   
7. In a few hours time, I'll be acting as an Indonesian kidnapper, dancing to a Bollywood beat and singing a Malay song. It's all in the name of bidding farewell to some HR big shot.Okay, I can already hear you laughing :P
   

tidur bola.makan bola.

All of a sudden everyone was into the spirit of this thing called World Cup. Including me! out of the blue boleh berborak2 padahal sebelum nih nak tegur pun tak kuasa.Haha.Memanglah kononnya sports bring people together :p Kadang2 takdelah layan sangat pun the game (tgk team lah kan) tapi macam best pulak hang out ramai2 kat NZ sambil borak2,sambil makan2 and sambil tgk bola.Banyak kali nye laa dah melanggar curfew sbb balik lambat sangat. Anyways,last Friday we had our monthly TeaTalk for all the HR Practitioners.And there was a slot for a quiz on World Cup.Ada hadiah lagi ok for those who answered correctly.One question which I remembered was "Ashley Cole is a player for which team?" Funnily,nobody raised their hands to answer sedangkan soalan2 sebelum ini berebut2 nak jawab.Sampai berlari2 nak tgk saper sampai microphone dulu nak jawab. Dalam hati,eh ni bukan soalan senang ke? I mean, player England lah kan.Bukankah team ini populariti nya begitu melampaui kehebatan sebenar mereka?Takkanlah tak tau kot. It's either kaum adam di situ malu nak jawab sebab rasa macam poyo or sejujurnya mereka langsung tidak tahu.Hahaha..Whatever.. Teringat pulak the 1998 World Cup.I was in Form 3 at that time.Couldn't remember it all and couldn't even remember which team I was rooting for.But I still remembered the whole school was really into the final btw France and Brazil where Brazil was defeated in a humiliating lost. Was forced and dragged by some of the Samba Lads' Fanatic Supporters to our Dewan Makan to watch the final.I still remembered yang kaler muka,kaler kuku ikut kaler bendera France and Brazil. Padahal nak tengok kat Dining Hall je.Haha..Semangat yang teramat! But the only downside of this year WC is the final will be held during my orientation week in which macam susah je nak dapat access to tv kat Permata tuh.Is it on a weekday?Alaa..Mana pulak peginye jadual World Cup nih? Anyways,hopefully weekend lah.At least boleh mintak tolong orang pikap (@pick up.i just looove putting it that way) and tgk kat NZ lagi ke or memane laa.Janji tengok!

...........

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

(311's Love Song.Love it)

HR people are not super humans

Most people hate HR.I used to.Once when I was waiting for the job offer that felt like forever to come.And I still am.But the case is different now.Only the detest towards HR, (funnily, where I work now) remains the same. My department is quite alright but will be waaaay better if my direct superior and the Makcik2 Jah (remember the baju disco incident?) are voted out unanimously.*evil grin* Is it just me or the culture and the environment here seem so rigid? Dont get me wrong.Of course lah I am grateful having this job sedangkan ramai lagi graduates kat luar tu yg menganggur lagi. I just wish that it will be less conservative. Sometimes I felt that,given the pyramid hierarchy, seedings like me are at the base, the lowest and most bottom level. Even the Makcik2 Jah are higher than us. Kira kes dibuli lah ni.Come on..I am only a seed.Not a slave.Guide me,not torture me.Teach me and I will learn.And why do people expect that people working in HR know everything?There are actually people who called me up and expected me knowing the answer to it. And when I answered politely that I had no idea of what he was talking about and gave her the extensions of those who were actually working in that area and politely (again) suggested him to call that person, melenting lah pulak. Yo bro, you might be having a really bad day (or a bad hair day) but that was no reason to let it all out on me. I am not a super-human with all the information at my finger tips.

Anyhouuu, here are some of the pics taken during my happy moments these past few weeks, as promised.

the wekeend i was going to turn 23..

I had a BLAST!
But I really dont have the time to write the details now.
In short, I was surrounded by good friends, accompanied by a perfect companion, and had such a super-nice time with those who I care about, who ensured that I had the best weekend ever.
Finally, my wish to have a happy 23rd celebration came true :) What more can I say....

cry baby and take another little piece of my heart



demotivated nyer akuuuuuu....i wish i was sick so that i dont have to go to work next week...

ATTENTION TO STFians BATCH 1996-2000!

Let us all go to STF GOLDEN JUBILEE CELEBRATION this coming 30 June- 3 July.

All I know is, it will be held in JB. And among the events they organize are:

• Welcoming dinner & Gathering on 30th June
  
• Warisanmu Dinner per Srikandi on 1st July
  

And this is our (haha..maybe not all of us lah kan.but i know i am excited to see them.Once a bandgirl,always a bandgirl! lolz..) chance to see our school band perform! SPIRIT, SOLID, SMART! Bak kata Aliza. (Sayang kau tak join band masa Form 4 dulu,if not sure kau dah boleh jadi Section Leader ke..Hihihi.Ey Aliey,if no one else wants to go,we go together-gether je lah.Road trip!!!)

Please visit http://www.stfoga.org.my/ver1.0/ for more details.

voila!


I went to watch this last nite.


and this is what I am going to be today in a few hours time.. :)

Will put up the details later, along with the pictures.

In the meantime, have a nice day everyone!

oh yeah!

I was constantly blessed with happy things this week that never failed to amuse me and made me realize that there were many people who actually cared for you sincerely and things that were of higher priority. So, why fuss over things that depressed you, when you could be happy?

And therefore, (I know, it didnt really relate to what I was talking about just now) I am going for a Zapin class tomorrow! (I repeat, Z-A-P-I-N) Haha.. I cant believe it myself either. Finally I got the chance to learn it properly from professional dance teachers. Berkobar-kobar ok! Its one of Petronita activities. (Sejak bila Najwa aktif berpersatuan wanita nih? ) Sejak nak belajar Zapin laa. Haha.. Sambil-sambil tu, boleh la membina network di kalangan wanita-wanita berkuasa di Petronas tu. (What da..??) Hahaha..

And jeng jeng jeng.. I am going for Grease The Musical y all!!! This Sunday at 8.30pm. Yeay! Cant wait, cant wait, cant wait!! And I am busy downloading all the Grease songs trying to memorize the lyrics just in case if i feel like singing along..Hihih..

P/S: To whom it may concern: i LIKE surprises!

giler ke hape ?

And i quote, "Melancholy cannot make things right, and depression will never bring the past back to life. By constantly dwelling on the past and its happenings, you place urself in a very frightful and tragic state of mind. Reading too much into the past is a waste of the present. Former days are gone and done with, and u benefit nothing by carrying out an autopsy over them.." (taken from Nadias =) )
Liverpool Juara Piala FA made the headline in the sports section of the newspaper yesterday.My bro kecoh giler satu hari sampai aku stress. Dia kecoh giler sampai all of a sudden the past came flooding in and it reminded me of something. (Ok,can I blame my bro now?) The whole triggering-thing was quite bad that I ended up being sad + depressed (biaselatu, kalau sad mesti best friend die depressed.Hoho.) Gosh,how lah kan, could my memories be so easily triggered? I mean, hellooooo..I didnt even come close to being a Liverpool fan. I was all happy on Saturday and it was all gone in a flash the next day. How a simple thing macam tu could trigger my memories, just like that. I wish I am more berhati batu now. Ok dah.Cukup.Poyo ok poyo.

Enough about me being emotional. Moving onnn, remember the Costume Party that I was really excited about? Well,on Saturday me and a friend of mine went on a mission to find the purrr-fect costume.I had never seen such determination (ada unsur2 exageration di sini) in a guy to go find a costume.Since they were normally known not to be friendly when it came to shopping-related stuff,so this really amazed me.Dahla carik costume ok.Hahaha.Me, being a supernice friend (note the word Super),tagged along after being persuaded to go (this again,proves betapa i wish to be more berhati batu).Kesian kawan kan.Hehe.Well, I have already got my costume.To rent a costume for a one-time event costing me RM85.00 aderla mahal sebnarnye.Huhu.Actually, our mission to seek for the costume was really adventurous. From LRT Universiti to Hartamas.From Hartamas to OU.Then from there to Bangsar and lastly ended up kat sumwhere near LRT Abdullah Hukum (Eh,tak.Last place kat Mid valley sbb we had dinner there afterwards).All these routes taken just to find a costume! But because my friend was really a good company (thank god we like and listen to almost the same songs and could share the same jokes."Pencahayaan agung"! Haha..), good driver (kau memang otai!), possessed ultimate patience (who could stand my complete cluelessness of giving road direction and remembering the location where we parked.If org lain, confirm dah lamaaaa kena marah!) dan managed to convince me about "semua yg berlaku sure ade hikmah nye.." (Haha..Yela dah puas pusing satu KL cari costume and at last ketemu jugak.Cuber kalau x jumpe?Haaaaa..) Enough of paying you compliments. (Flattery will get u almost everywhere.See I managed to get to Uni-Hartamas-OU-Bangsar-Mid Valley, all in the same day! :p).Oh well,it was fun though despite sesat a few times.I tried on a few but takde yg betul2 buat aku pandang je dah tau, aha!thats the one! Yes,I know you are more than happy with what you got.It was really nice.Seriously.Much better than the first one at city square tuh.(At least u dont have to wear some weird and superficial stuff on top of ur head.Haha)..

owh my eyebag

I havent been able to get enough sleep the past few days. My eyebags are getting puffier as days passed by.(See pic below) How bad is that?Haih..I really do hope that I can get rid of them soon.Because I think I really really really like my eyes a lot as they look pretty alright to me.Besides eyes are windows to your souls (ececece..so they have to be in tip-top condition). Anyone with good solution to this?

pretty hideous kan? :(


When did the last time we the 4 stooges (me,sisters and bro) spent time together,just to hang out and do some catching up.Ages ago..So off we went to KLCCon Satruday.Even our youngest sister,Nasya,tagged along.Itupun after begging my mom to let her go as well.We hesitated at first to bring her with us to a place crowded with shoppers.It so happened that once she was lost the last time we went out on a shopping spree.But tak sanggup nak tengok muka seposen dia plus the crying,the rolling and stomping on the floor, she was allowed to go at last.We watched M:i:III. It was the first movie experience for Nasya.And i tell u she was all excited!! Since she didnt fully understand the whole movie,she would laugh everytime we laughed.And would later asked "asal derang ketawa?" Ahaha..Cam comel lak.But I seriously could see her immense excitement.She couldnt stop smiling afterwards. Anyways,I think M:i:III is good.Since I like action-packed movies,this is one of my fave.But the the ending is a bit like Hindustan,dont you think so?Esp the part yg ketuk2 data Tom Cruise tu..

And owwh,my superior (who managed to get on my nerves yesterday) is going away for Umrah for 2 weeks.(Yeay!! Freedom for twooooo blaaaardy weeks). But I was touched when she came to me to salam and peluk and apologize for any of her wrongdoings.Sangat tersentuh..Of course la I forgave her despite (hisyh..dahla..shes already apologized ok).I managed to say to her , "Doakan saye ye .." "iAllah boleh..Doakan supaya cepat kahwen ye..Hehe". "Err..doa bende2 yang baik lah K.Z***" .Why kan lately there are so many people out there who kalau tak suruh aku kahwin ,akan cuba mengmatchmakekan or meng'kenen'kan aku with someone that they know or will talk to me about things that are related to marriage (like asking me to join Kursus Kahwin.Thanks Kim,but not now.Hehe).. Mestikah a single girl like me go through these things? Perlu kah? Apelaa..

poyolah!

i have got a looooooooooooooot to tell you people.Will update all the fascinating incidents as soon as I get rid of this task.For now, I really feel like strangling this guy for *ehem* (cannot be further eleborated) and still have the guts to ask me join him for coffee.You know Faisal,you might just be one of the poyo-est guy that I have ever met.Dahla aku dah malu gilerrr nih disebabkan dia.Nak ajak aku minum kopi??? My goodness.How poyo is that? Kopi Coffee Bean yang sedap tu pun tak mampu nak counterbalance kan the level of embarassment yg aku hadapi ni ok..Huwaaa..

busy as a bee

busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy busy

..and i am loving every minute of it.Yee-har!

elaboration will come later,hopefully,if i have the time..

Have fun working everyone! :)

recap

Training at Renaissance Hotel
I attended training for HR executives at this hotel for 3 consecutive days. I really wanted to go to this training because it was held quite near my office (good for non-resedential programmes like this), it would be a good 3 day holiday or unofficial off-day away from office, free good food and I just love keeping myself busy.The input was good. It gave lotsa clarifications on HR stuff that were alien to me before. At least now I get a better picture of what I am doing for a living.

anda dibuli?
Do you feel bullied if you were given a task that was supposed to be your superiors responsibility coz this happened to most of the new seedings plus, your superior has a reputation of delegating unnecessary tasks to newcomers or do you simply just feel elated that coz even the rumours about your superior were true you want to prove you are good and capable of doing anything given to you?
A little bit of both. But I sure want to finish this damn thing given to me.

Shopping excursion at sg wang
No words can describe this totally awesome experience. i felt that my creative senses are all coming back to me while browsing through the shops there.If only I can wear what the manequins are wearing to office? Haha..Fat chance! Memang takla kan..

happy me
Last week was a mixture of every emotion existed. But one thing for sure I did not have the tiniest bit of regret of what I have done. In fact, I felt much happier, fresher, and this boundless new freedom sure opened up lots of doors, opportunities and happiness to me* wink*. Yes, I have been saying that I am happy in the last entry. Too frequent that I might sound a bit fake? Noooo… truth is I AM happy. Happy like, tralalala.. hehe.. I have been so lucky to have understanding friends around me when I need them the most. Thank you! And the new friendships created. The awesome people that I met. Gosh, all these would never happen if did not do what I did last week. Hence I believe that I have done the right thing at the right time. Although the only downside of what I did was I felt that you owe me at least a feedback. Nih cam terkluar topik sket. Tapi ape costume yg paling best and suits me well to go to a costume "party".The theme is "Movie Characters".Options that are suggested to me:Princess Fiona, Snow White, Catwoman, Evil Queen(mak tiri Snow White), Mak kat dalam Addams Family. Tapi mane lagi best korang?Any other ideas?Hehe.. Excited nye nak gi Kedai Costume tuh Rabu nih!

birthday plans
Ok moving on. Some people have already been asking me what I want and where I want to go to celebrate my birthday. Sweet thoughts la u guys nih. I am really flattered (Keep it coming ye! Hehe). But seriously I have nothing in mind. I am just grateful that I would not be karaoke-ing I Will Survive on my birthdays eve this time. Urrghh.. that was horrible.

A friend of mine asked me:

Ey, where do you wanna go on your birthday?
Ermm.. Brisbane? Hehe.. I miss my friends there.
Ahahahaha.. you nih mmg pandai merepek. No seriously, where do you wanna go on your birthday?
(tetibe serious lah pulak mamat nih..Well, i was tempted to say a nice quite dinner with small orchestra playing in the background, lotsa red roses and gerbera and a good view of a pretty scenery. Ahaha.. on second thought, tak baik buli orang.)
Hrmm..Dunnola.The only place i have in mind is Brisbane.Hehe..boleh ke?
Ahaha.Tak habes2 dia nih(I can imagine dia rolling his eyes when answering this.Haha).Ok.Tu nanti lah.One day nnt ok.Right now,your birthday.Nak pegi mane?
*thinking hard*
(Seriously i have no plans whatsoeva)
Hrmmm..jom tgk Grease the musical nak?
Err… greece? Urmm…
Jom ah. Sure best giler nye.
Tapi Greece. Bolehke faham language derang?
Huh?Ape yg u merepek nih? Grease laa.. the one with John Travolta.
Oooo.. that Grease. G-R-E-A-S-E. I thought u buang tebiat nak tgk a Greece show. Ahahaha..ok okk..Sounds fun.
Yeay! I try find the tickets. Takut dah sold out.
Okay. As long as you are happy on your birthday! Hehe..

Haa!Kesimpulan, bukan aku sorang je yg pekak when talking on the phone :P Hopefully I can get the tickets. Macam best jee.. anyone else interested?

buat aku tersenyum :)

..Rasakan resahku dan buat aku tersenyum dengan canda tawamu
Walaupun 'tuk sekejap
Karna hanya engkaulah yang sanggup redakan aku..


im like so soooo happy, 'nuff said...
tralalalalalalala..

i love you,i really do...

On HEAVY rotation:

• I Want To Break Free
• Lover’s Rhapsody
• Laskar Cinta
• Live On
• Larut
  

...God knows how much I spent nights thinking and dreaming about you.
But fate has it that I am never going to see you.....until your next show here!
I will be waiting for you dengan begitu setia sekali, Dewa!!!

jom movie!

I have been wanting to watch movies since dah lame giler simply because aku ajak takde org nak teman, mereka busy (aku pun bz juge),not interested etc etc.I am into horror/thriller movies at the moment (sebab boleh jerit kuat2 bile part2 seram sambil release stress).Yesterday I really wanted to watch Water Spirit.But sadly the timing was not right.Then wanna watch When A Stranger Calls.Tapi all the reviews about this movie disinterest me more. No good review at all. And then Gubra.I think I am one of those people out there who havent watched this much-awaited-by-all movie.Interested jugak but see la how.

Anyways,tadi,I was just getting out of the filing room which was converted into a comfy place to pray when Kak Jie stop me. (Memule aku cuak juge.Takkanlah pasal baju aku lagi kot??)

"Meh sini akak nak test sikit". (seraya memegang bulu mataku dgn friendly).
I was like, huh?
"Eh betul la.Akak ingatkan bulu mata palsu.Heheh".

Chett!!Boleh tak?..Nak tergelak pun ade. I was tempted to say that I was nicknamed "unta" in high school for my long eyelashes. On second thought,takpelah, i better keep that to myself.

Good news! I finally get the chance to watch Water Spirit jap lagi. Yeay! Thank you, its on me :)

declaration of independence and happily breathing fresh air - lalala..

i have taken out some entries that are rather hurtful to some.However,i saved all your precious comments somewhere safe just for my eyes only.
I believe i have increasingly feel better and there is no need to write stuff like that anymore :)

Go on and close the curtains cause all we need is candle light
You and me and a bottle of wine going to hold you tonight
Well we know Im going away and how I wish, I wish it werent so
So take this wine and drink with me lets delay our misery

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow tomorrow Ill be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow tomorrow Ill be gone

Theres a log on the fire and it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire to take me away its true
It aint easy to say goodbye darling please dont start to cry
Cause you know Ive got to go, oh Lord I wish it wasnt so

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow tomorrow Ill be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow tomorrow Ill be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away I wish that I, that I could stay
You know Ive got to go, oh Lord I wish it wasnt so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow tomorrow Ill be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow Ill be gone

Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow Ill be gone

sekian...

and now moving on to another 2 piccies (keje letak gambar je aku nih..). No matter how bad that night was, these girls managed to make me at least put the sincerest smile on my face.


Fatiza, Syalyna, Me happily posing macam tak ingat dunia :P


Najwa yang tak glam with Syalyna yg glam teramat.Hehehe..
Your words of wisdom and bubbliness always manage to save my sanity.And you worked your magic again when I need it the most.I owed you big time sister! :)

sharing is caring :)

It is hard to keep a happy appearance when you are down and misery is eating you from inside. Despite the shitty incidents that keep repeating themselves everyday, I will try to appear happy and write happy entries in this blog. Dari spread despair, lets share some happy thoughts, shall we?

Okla this might not be absolutely happy but below are pictures taken from the Petrosains Annual Dinner 2 weeks ago. I mentioned that the event was a bit ntah hape-hape due to some unfortunate events that happened. The only things that cheered me up that nite were the Madonnas Hung Up dance performance and having to meet Awal and had him referred to me as "…gadis cantik yang akan membantu saya untuk cabutan bertuah…" Ahaha.. I didnt even know who Awal was in the first place. VJ ke host show mane ntah tapi yg penting being referred as "gadis cantik" made my nite eventhough I so know that was part of his duty to be a charming host for that event and the reference was just typical (as if he meant it la kan..) but it was flattering.. And flattery will get you everywhere most of the time (I learnt this concept and slowly trying to adapt to it after 3 weeks in HR). And owh, AC Mizal performed that nite, singing and performed a sketch/stand-up comedy. I have to admit he IS funny! Adlin Aman Ramli dropped by to see he performed. Adlin seemed unapproachable. Tapi okla. Managed to snap a picture with him.

Zapin. I watched a dance performance last nite on TV 1. About zapin. There was this Zapin dance yang sangatla awesome. Berkobar-kobar semangat tetibe nak blaja zapin. Ahahaha.. sukelaa.. I even mentioned to my mom that I want a zapin performance by budak2 kecik on my wedding day..Boleh? Hehe.. Sure comel je nanti.. (Ok. Memang gile berangan tapi tak kesah la kan.Berangan je yg managed to make me happy now). After that I went straight straight to my old pc and watched our Ya Maulai zapin-ish dance during merdeka nite last year. How I miss the sweet old times. All of a sudden I remembered the gruelling practice hour to come out with the steps so that they will look as perfect as they could. Kepeningan mencari participants. Sampin (ke samping?) Wan Sham yang tertanggal in the middle of performance secara tetibe. Haha.. Truth is I miss Brisbane. I miss the times we spent together. Watch movies as we like. Go wherever we want. Eat whenever. Sleep whenever. Walk as we wish. Without anything to worry about.

I have a wedding to go next weekend. Yeay! I love attending weddings. Especially my friends weddings. Because it is the time where you can catch up with old friends and long lost contacts. Looking forward to it. Who am I going to bump into and who am I going to take with this time? Got a few names in my mind. Will pujuk mereka later.

Esok kerja. I hope I will have a cheerful week and happy people around me to keep me going.

Have a good week everyone!


That guy next to me mmg keji.tibe2 mencelah masuk in btw me and Awal(in suit).Chit! Terpakse jadi one person away from Awal yang comel :p


l-r (Dayu, unknown female companion of Adlin, Adlin, Me). Asal tudung ku nampak pelik?


The Ya Maulai Zapin-ish performance by us :)

second day at work

yesterday was my first.from what i heard,new seedings like me as they call it, were expected to just sit around doing nothing or lebih tepat lagi, buat bodoh je on their first day.however my first day was unlike the glorified stories i heard.sampai je i was told to go for a meeting.dahla saye lambat setengah jam.giler cuak.dahla first day,camne leh lambat nih?actually,i was at level 62 before that, trying to get my staff pass done.After that,when i went back to my office,no one was there.i know they went for that meetng tapi i didnt expect that i had to attend coz im new.cuak gak when entering the meeting room sbb lambat kan.seb baiklah ok je.My boss saje je soh pegi meeting."so that you can get used to everything.Awak tak boleh nak merangkak2 ni.Kena berlari terus"Uishh..I have been firmly but gently reminded on my first day about what she expects from me.Because one of the staff is transferring at the end of this month.So,i was told that my job is taking over her resposibilities while shes gone.Kak Leen, the staff who will be transferring,awal2 lagi dah pesan,"Next week kite turunkan segala ilmu kat awak ek".Confirm la takde nye nak buat bodoh je in my first week of working.The tasks are already waiting for me.

underappreciated

Sometimes I am scared to give my best to people, like to do good deeds, be kind, be supportive, be nice, be persistent in a good way, be a good listener, a good friend etc because I fear that I will not be appreciated for what I did. I know that we have to be sincere in whatever that we did. Tapi kadang-kadang dah puas pujuk hati sendiri suruh jadi ikhlas tapi mesti ade la sekelumit rase yg mengharapkan balasan. Susah ok. Kadang-kadang rasa macam tak reasonable plak nak mintak macam2. tapi bila fikir balik, bukan lah banyak sangat pun mintak tuh. Cukup sekadar boleh buat rasa di appreciate. Salah ke?

PGL- the musical
It was awesome though the real performance did not really meet my expectation. But the musical arrangement was marrrvelloussss. Sukala lagu-lagu dia yg rancak tuh. Pandai org yg compose. The props too. Fabolousss! Chantekla. Suke juge. Really like the movable-layered-wooden-stairs prop. And also the ukiran kayu for the Istana Melaka backdrop. Cun giler.

Career Day @ Petrosains
It was held today. But I have already felt the eventful schedule several weeks ago due to the preparation. It was FUN. Really reminds me of those days in STF or UQ where we were all so busy helping each other out to hold any school or uni events. I really dont mind being busy doing all these things because I like to get involved. Penat tapi berbaloi. And I always have the excuse to escape from the office routine. Like I can go to assist in buying gifts, survey and compare the best price for food and other stuff, meet new people, pegi sana, pegi sini etc. I hope my job would be something similar or if not similar, close to something like this. I hate routines. Having experienced 5 years in a boarding school was enough to teach me how to survive the painful routines that I had to go through every single day. In conclusion, today was a huge success. Everything went smoothly and everyone was happy at the end of the day. So, hooray for each and everyone of us! So, off I went after it all ended smiling happily. I was on my way to meet Remi, walking in the subway to the KLCC lrt station, when all of a sudden, I miscalculated my next step, and kedeboink! Terpelecok saye di tengah-tengah org ramai di KLCC. Dahla sakit malu pulak. Adoilaa.. And as usual, passers-by did what Malaysians always do which was to stare at you like it was some kind of entertainment. Bukan nak tolong pun. Chett!! Fortunately ade a few kakak yg baik hati tolong kutipkan ayam-ayam KFC Original yg turut jatuh bergolek-golek semasa terpelecok tadi. Lagila maluuuuuuu. One lady from the nearest shop bagi selotep tolong tapekan the KFC box yg dah terburai tuh. Fortunately, nothing really bad happened to my ankle. I can still walk after a few minutes of massaging it.

Oo Winnie
When I got home, the daughter of the Chinese lady next door had a chit-chat session with my mom. Her name is Winnie. Around 11 or 12 years old agaknya. Nasha as usual, being so very the friendly, pun layan la sekali Winnie nih. They chatted about quite a number of things. Winnie asked my mom why am I so different from Nasha and my other sister, Nasyitah.
(Imagine cakap in a chinese slang yg agak pelat Melayu)

"Auntie, kenapa itu kakak tidak serupa?"
"Tak seghupe macamane tu Winnie?"
"Dia putih maa. Ini Nasha dan yg lagi satu itu hitam”
*Gelak-gelak sikit*
"Ooo.. Anak-anak auntie ni kalau yg putih ikut mak. Hitam ikut ayah. Kalau kurus ikut bapak, kalau gemok ikut maknye"
"Hahaha.. gemuk kan sebab hari-hari pun selalu makan sahaja. Nanti terlalu gemuk kan, esok boleh jadi babi"

Wahahahahahahaha.. I really couldnt stop myself from laughing out loud when hearing this. I know la she didnt mean that babi thing. Dah tak tau nak compare kalau gemok macam ape kot. Hahaha.. Tapi kelakar laa.. Selamberr Winnie.

"Auntie, esok kita cakap-cakap lagi ok? Bye bye!"
"Haa.. Iyelah"

I wasntt really sure what was the whole point of telling this story. But I do find it amusing and funny after one long day at work. Esok kite borak-borak lagi ye Winnie! Looking forward to it.

cepat laaa balik...

:(

perak tu jauh ok..takde coverage lak tuh

Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th (or so they say..)

My Friday was doomed from the beginning regardless of the existence of Friday the 13th.
Well, lady luck was already not on my side a couple of days before.So this not so good feeling was already there long before today.Takleh laa nak salahkan Friday yg tarikh dia 13hb kan. Well,at the moment,I felt like I was being observed, under very close surveillance.Like every move that I made,everyword that i said were being monitored by a hidden camera.And right at this very moment, I know that my mon was on the phone talking to my aunt about ME.And how in the world did I know that?Because mom thought that I was having a nap (coz she called me just now,and i was half asleep but now i was wide awake) and when my aunt answered the phone, all of a sudden she took the phone inside her room secretly and I somehow overheard she said my moms name. So, there.Pecah rahsia.I know laa someting fishy was going on. Just 2 days ago,I had this long talk with my aunt (personal life,issues,updates) and uncle (carrier-wise).And why ? Because,apparently my beloved parents told them so. Hrmm.. Supicious,no? Apsal rase betrayed semacam.. I felt like a bad daughter whose parents felt that i was soooo out of control and hence terpaksa menyuruh orang lain menasihati saya. Kalau anda menjadi saya,apa yang anda rasa? Its not that i mind the 'lecture' sessions with aunt and uncle,I did find that they were useful.Banyak tips.Especially the carrier-wise talk: the options that i have,what my real interest is,decisions and choices before I start working yada yada.. And the talk about personal matters.We talked about relationships mostly.And yeah.It was helpful.But it sorta hit me hard at the back because there was a hidden meaning(which i coudnt grasp yet) and truth in it. Confused guwe dibuatnye.And a bit scared.Menci laaa.. Hmph!! (Ya Rabbi,tak habes2 lagi talking on the phone mereka ini.Mungkin banyak sungguh issue menarik mengenai saya yang mereka bincangkan.I wonder what they are.) The fact that they were talking about me behind my back regardless they were good or bad, hurt me.I am sure they werent talking bad things.But u know,the way she tried to get to me through my aunt,sounded so..ntah.Got no words to describe it.But i just feel betrayed.

Okay,now I feel I am soo hurt by it..

Chett..

Berjaya mereka membuat saya rasa begini..

Have a nice Friday everyone!

if i am a hindi song

if i am a hindi song my life,from my perspective will be so much easier.moods can be switched in a blink of an eye.whenever that i dont feel so good,i can switch to my happy mode in a flash.just like that.no need for words of encouragement.no need for special attention.no need for binge-eating.no need for window shopping.no need for feeling depressed.no need for anything. i can just feel happy anytime that i want to..if i get to choose a hindi song,that will be the song from Kal Ho Naa Ho in which Shah Rukh Khan danced happily with his neighbours early in the morning.Alaa.. Lagu yg cam ala-ala Pretty Woman tuh but in a much faster beat.Hohoho..

i got cravings

• kfc,kfc,kfc,kfc,kfc,kfc....
• Bulla cookies n cream ice-cream
• Smiths Sweet Chilli potato chips
• Coffee Clubs Nachos
• Pancake Manors waffle with caramel
• goreng pisang cicah sanbal kicap
• cendol mamak

i promise that anyone who manages to make my cravings come true will be generously rewarded.

p/s: im in USJ at the moment.Yippie yeay!!

office assistant di Petrosains

I started volunteering at Petrosains today.Setelah sekian lama.This time it was different as I was placed at the office instead of the centre.Never did this before.So,was a bit excited this morning.My day didnt started as good as I expected. Pagi-pagi lagi dah encounter makcik garang yg grumpy masa nak naik lrt.Hellooooo.It was early in the morning.Everyone was rushing and everyone wanted to reach their offices quick.No need for the muka tarik 14 walaupun dgn x sengaje nye ternudge sikit je makcik nih masa queue beli tiket.Enough of that.I went to petrosains yesterday.When it was not crammed with all sorts of people.More importantly, with Remi.It was actually not a bad idea at all to actually spend time together with your boyfriend in a science centre.In contrast of the usual dating routines at the usual hang-out places like the mall, cinema, cafe-cafe chantek, kedai mamak (pun booooleh laa..),taman bunga (haha!) and the mall (again). Besides, you get to learn science in sorta fun way :P kan, kan, Remi kan?? Hehe..Tp go to petrosains when it was not public holidays or school holidays.When you go on either one of these days,leh mati tersepit di buat nye.So,in short,if you ppl have nothing better to do, please, do drag your boyfriends to Petrosains.Haha,yeaahh..Promote jgn tak promote.(Like me,I was soo bising trying to persuade him to come until he finally gave in.Thanks very much dear!).Maybe we should check out the Aquaria lak after this.Buleeeh Remi? Kensel la Muzium Orang Asli.Hahaha..

Cerita pasal Petrosains lagi.(Once you pop out a story,you cant stop!Haha..) Since today was my 1st day as an office assistant, I didnt know what to expect sangat laa kan.So,buatlaa the usual stuff as told by Kak Shikeen.Byk guna excel.Banyak nye la nama-nama nak kene update.Beribu-ribu lemon! It has been a while since i last piled up with uni stuff yg kena ngadap screen pc lama-lama.Ada terasa cam nak terkeluar eyeball from its socket.Buat laa keje sampai tghari camtuh.And then,all of a sudden: "Najwa,jom ikut akak pegi beli Milo kat Cold Storage."Kak Shikeen told me.Beli Milo? Berapa banyak sampai nak kena teman2 ni? "18 peket!" Jawab dia lagi.Waahhhhhh... Bapakkkkk banyakkk.Takpernah beli banyak camnih seumur hidup.Hahaha.. Satu peket besar, 2kg kot.18 peket,dah brape kg dah tuh?Fuiyoo..Byk nyer..Boleh minum berapa byk tahun nye stok.Anyhouu.. I felt like an office boy,eh girl jap.Multitasking sungguh jadi office assistant nih.Kena call volunteers up, update database,update name list, amik kuih kat SS3 sebab ade extra,refill Milo,creamer,Coffee kat pantry, bawak volunteers baru naik skybridge,bawak masuk volunteers baru yg lambat dtg dsb.. Multitasking ke tak multitasking tuh?

in the la-la-la land

I am currently content and at peace since I am on leave this whole week. Nothing much happened except that I am getting sufficient rest and sleep plus quality time with my family. Last weekend was Sarah's brother's wedding,held at Marriot. It was a lovely wedding. The theme was purple and pink so basically the ballroom was beautifully decorated with purple orchids (yeah, I think it was orchids. Heh..). I think it was a refreshing idea having orchids instead of the normal flowers like roses or lily or whateva kind of flowers tht ppl would normally used for weddings. Anyways, since I like attending weddings especially the ones like this, I enjoyed the whole affair. Right from the reception till the end of the night. And did I mention that it was also like a mini gathering for us, the Brisbane students? Aah.. what is more amusing than updating each other on what has been going on in our lives as well as gossiping with your uni girlfriends, refreshing your minds on the sweet old days where life was all about having fun and caring less about what was revolving around the world. So, it was a pleasant night! Too bad I couldn't join them later, lepaking and chillin' on Christmas Eve. Curfew, people, curfew….

Anyways, been keeping a low-key life this holiday. Probably the only highlight of this week was me doing a thorough inspection on which car to buy. Since my family and I were moving soon to a place far far away, so it was wise for me to get a car or otherwise I'd remain handicapped forever. And yup, I could now drive legally people! Hooo-yeaah!! Haha.. Talk about late-bloomers here! Nothing luxurious of course, just a small, cute and commutable car for me to move around. Practicality is important since KL is congested with heavy traffic 24/7. Unless I stumble upon 1 million or dig a goldmine or go sell pirated vcds at pasar malam, then I might be able to afford a Mini or a Jaguar. Now that was a different question lah kan. Can't hardly wait for my new toy to come!

Moving on. I guess almost everyone has watched Cinta. Me too. I watched it twice. First time with the BF and second with my girlfriends. The first time I wached it, I cried (not buckets though) during the story of Rashidi Ishak and Rita Rudaini and their little daughter. I was expecting that the saddest love story would be Cikgu Elias and Makcik Rubiah but to my surprise, I was more immersed and touched by the sorrow and loss of Rashidi, having to let go of his wife just because she has found her true love and claimed that man to be her soulmate. Until today, I still couldn’t understand how was that possible. I mean you married a man that thought you love in the first place, had a perfect marriage with a cute daughter, a husband who is so-obviously-deeply-in-love-with-you and a happy, romantic and stable life together. And then, when her old flame showed up out of nowhere, how could she leave the happiness that she has built for years and probably has gone through a lot of hardships to maintain what she had, just to go into the arms of someone that she claimed to be her soulmate? Hapekejadah?!?.. bukan nye the husband was ill-treating her ke kaki mabuk ke ade financial crisis ke.. how in the blue hell, could she sacrifice something that is definite for something that was uncertain? Yelah kan ke marriage kan cam bina masjid. So she should try to save and protect it rather than give in to temptations. Selfish ke tak selfish? But overall, it was a good movie. Entertaining and I like the beautiful shots of KL captured in this movie.

What else, what else? Hmmm.. owh I also went to Marche at The Curve last weekend. I'd always wanted to go there since it was first opened. The concept was fun. The whole idea of ordering your food at the various stalls and had your passport stamped everytime you ordered food/drinks, was enjoyable I must say. Meriah macam pasar. Because the chefs would try their best to get you order food from their stalls, with all the jerit2 making the environment lively. There were 6 of us: Raf, Man, Nikki, Nadia, Hana and me. But if there was a lot more variety, it would be so much more interesting. Especially the dessert. For someone who has the sweetest tooth as me, the dessert didn't offer a lot of variety. Sebagai penggemar waffle yg unggul, the waffle there adelah tidak sedap! Sedap lagik waffle kat Cold Storage!

I have several piccies but the net was so dem slow kat rumah ni. Lain kali je la ye..
So, I am still left with tomorrow to fully utilize it to the max.
Please don't let the remaining 24 hours pass too qucikly for I still have soooo much fun yet to be enjoyed...

Happy new year!!!
