cockroach attack

Can anyone please tell why there are insects in my car? To be more specific, cockroaches!!!!!Aaarghhhh.. Luckily, anak lipas kalau bapak dia ke, mak dia ke? Arrrghhhhhh.... To say that my Lovemobile is flooded with food leftovers ke, no no that is not the case because I didnt leave any trails of food behind. This really is a major, super-humongous problem because I am a cockroach-phobic. Tikus is ok. Cicak is ok. Mentibang pun still boleh consider lagi laa. But lipas??? Big No-No. It all started back when I was still a small kid, maybe about 3 or 4 years old when we were living with my late grandma'. There was this old TV set in the living room. According to my mom, I loved to mess around with the TV buttons. Main tukar2 channel ah, main volume dia, bukak-tutup TV uzur tu. My late grandma' of course lah ferikaut, scared tht the old TV would go kaput because of her (very cute and smart) granddaughter. Sooo..taking matters in her own hand (before my late grandma' ferikaut), my mom killed a big, fat, juicy cockroach AND hanged it on the TV (and followed by her frequent efforts to scare me "Haaa..jgn dekat, ada monster tu...eeeee"). Confirm lah budak kecik akan phobia kan? From that day onwards, I didnt dare mess around with the TV and even if I managed to come close to the TV, I'd never dared to touch the TV, all because of the scary little 6-legged creature. And people, that is the story of how I got scared of cockroaches.

So how now? I just killed the 3rd anak lipas this morning, found crawling on my dashboard. If there is going to be the 4th one, I will surely ferikaut okk.....

Help!!!

P/S: Is there any possiblity that these cockroaches are "living" in my car? Dalam engine ke ekzos ke? Or mana2 celah yg boleh derang membiak? Possible keeeee? Aaaah ferikaut nyeeeeeeeeeee!!

si kenit dan si gagah perkasa

On the left, is the apple-green lovemobile which is mine parked next to his newly acquired super-cool Honda. (I'd kill for his caaaarrr okkk..Serious cantek gile. Naik rasa xnk turun2 dah.Haha..Curi kang baru tau..) Kancil will definitely be missed by Savvy now that you've got a new ride :)

Nota Kaki: Ini adalah parking di belakang Public Bank. The cheapest rate there is arnd KLCC area so far.. Ntah hape2 nak naik kan parking rate. Dahla jalan berlubang2

working on a Saturday..

..not that i have never done it before. if all the Saturdays that i worked on were counted (like as part of OTs ke kan), confirm dah lama boleh pegi trip ke Oz tu. Heheh.. Anyways, this wasnt an ordinary voluntary work that i normally did to catch up on stuff but it was an official duty at PWTC. Career Fair. Yups. Where all the uni leavers came and asked about the company i worked at. "Kak,ada keja kosong tak?", "Company u amik org lulusan apa ye?", "apa vacancy yg ada?" and the list goes on.. It was all very very interesting. Because I get to deal directly with people who had high hopes to get in the company. We had a few tables on that day where we, as the Screening Team Advisor, acquired one table each and would entertain one visitor at a time. Visitors handed their CVs in to us, we skimmed through to make sure they met our requirements (yes the requirements were getting tougher n tougher) and asked questions if we needed clarification. So in a way it was like a mini-interview (but it wasnt, really) and the visitors were assuming that we were having one because of the setups. Memang muka budak2 yg datang tu nerbes semacam. Kesihan mereka. Padahal bukan interview pun. But i guess I'd feel the same way too if i were in their shoes. Out-of-uni fresh grads hunting for their first jobs. It made me feel grateful that I was bonded to work with this company. Hehe. Among the CVs that i went through, i found quite a number of students who, you know, didnt really scored well for their CGPAs (ke GPAs?) esp for non-tech qualifications, tapi muka2 mereka..penoh harapan. Tak sampai ati nak cakap, "dik, score adek tak meet our requirementlah. Maaf ye.." Serious x sampai hati.

Lesson learnt: Study hard. Eventhough you hated the course & you were there because your parents made you do so. Because even if there were other crucial skills that'd matter more when you started working, the cold, hard prints of your result would actually be an important point that'd filter you against the thousands of graduates who were also looking for their first jobs. Just my personal point of view :) Lagi pulak, budak2 zaman sekarang dah la makin pandai. SPM pun dah bole dapat berbelas2 A. Nak compete dgn experienced people lagi. Peeghh.. Challenging. I met some very intersting people on that today as well :) Like my friends from Petrosains- Faiz and Laila. Heheh.. I miss you guys. Nanti kita lepak2 ok? And there was this uber cool tudung-wearing Indonesian chick. She studied some science program in France!!! Waaah.. And her English, sangat sangat ber-accent yg aku rasa sexy nyeee..Hehe.. Very interesting indeed. (Naseb baik this chick tak ala2 rupa Rossa dgn rambut super hot and lense ijau ke kan..Kalau x confirm aku akan ter stare dia lama gile.Hahaha..Gile!) But she was amazingly very chic and composed. Mungkin dia used to be in one of those expensive, trendy boarding school kat Switzerland ke kan? Hehe.Assumption2.

Oh lupa. Malaysia's 2nd angkasawan was there as well! One of the VIPs on that day. Managed to snap a pic with him. I must say he was very2 friendly. Like, when were approaching him (when he was waiting for his food for lunch) to take a picture, he said hi to us first, smiled and got up frm the table and siap carikan spot nak amik gambar yg cun. "rasanya kite amik gamba kat sini la sbb tak membelakang kan sunlight, nnt gamba x jadi pulak" Comel kan? Hehe..

the hard-workers for the day

Malaysia's 2nd astronaut (whom i like better than our first)

throbbing head

nyut nyut nyut... if I could practically hear my own head throbbing, that was how it would sound like. it was really loud. it must have been the weather. it was raining quite heavily outside plus i kinda had a heavy lunch just now. relevan kah? it was really a long looooong day today. everything just seemed to be moving really slow. the big boss didnt even call me to her office which she did (almost) on hourly basis... amazing.... i had a training in Bangi on Monday. As the training was about a revised process from my dept so my colleague and i went as a co-faci. (read: a messenger who is shot directly without getting the chance to protect herself). Oh yes..it was a tough audience. Being quite new in this area, we were really digging our own graves lah kan when we both decided to go - just the 2 of us. Was it just the culture here; giving negative criticism just for the fun of bringing down other people in front of others? Or it would boil down to the individuals at the end of the day? Nak kata tak berpelajaran, dah pangkat Manager dah.. Nak kata muda - hot young bloods tend to be more aggressive, umur dah tua dah & tgk rambut pun dah beruban.. I simply dont understand lah. What we introduced was meant to ease the burden off their ugly backs as dulu2, it was all done manually (sampai juling2 mata nak skim through ratusan CV one by one, sbg contoh.. Now with just a few simple clicks, tadaaa.. It could all be finished in flashes of flash. We were working our pretty asses off to improve the process which at the end of the day, would help them to produce better and faster results. We do welcome feedbacks for improvement. But it really is hard to generate a fruitful discussion with them if they have planted negative thoughts in their minds even before they tried to use the system. Kolot lah mereka. And sangat typical Malays. Hohh..

On a lighter note, a walk down the memory lane....

Spot me if you can!!! Sapa berjaya, dapat hadiah..

This picture was taken..let me see.. about 13 years ago?.. hehehe.. Gila old school.. Those are all "the clan" lah back in those days.. I miss having Chinese friends around.. Believe it or not, I used to speak Malay in Chinese slang ok, complete with "hoh", "meh","aaar","waaaiii..", "eee-yeee.." (untuk express something that you are disgusted about. Dapat bayangkan x?).

Example 1: "Teacher, teacher.. Can go to toilet aaar?"

Example 2: "Waah.. So bad one.. But why is it like that meh?"

At first I didnt notice it and I thought it was normal until I went to an all-girls' boarding school where the total population was made up with Malays.

So, people..Spot me!

perhaps,perhaps,perhaps

have u ever felt so down and low that all these feelings started to bottle up, and burst into a massive pang of hatred. i think it just happened to me today. an incident happened. initially i was really sad and down and all. i even mourned for it for the past 3 days. but after doing all i could and what i could but unfortunately not getting even a single gesture of appreciation, & acknowledgement, i started to think that maybe...just maybe...somebody was having fun watching me tortured and emotionally strained. that sadness that i felt somehow has changed slowly and dangerously into anger. angry that why lah im putting all these effort but yet, i was treated like an invisible person. and this, mistah, has made you the lowliest of the human beings.

it is so much easier to get through the day & face the world when you are angry rather than being sad.

*yes,yes, i am being a bit emo today.dah lama tak ber-emo dlm blog ini bukan?*

of cupcakes, baking and raya...after the super-long hiatus

L-R: I managed to bake these cuppies! It's vanilla cupcakes. Rupanya mungkin sedikit cacat but mind you,your taste buds' satisfaction is 100% guaranteed (And has practically been proven too. Cecececece..). The after-results. Tempting tak? tempting taaaakk??? (Sila jawap "ya".) The last picture is the picture of Bakin' Boys' cupcakes which triggers my inspiration to do pretty decorations as well. Tapi kene prektis lagi lah.... Lepas nih, birthday korang aku bagi cupcake saje la okeh.. hehe..

Kenapa gambar di pagi raya ini harus diberi pujian? : Sebab tangan fotografer (yakni saya) menggigil tahan ketaq (Penang's version of menggeletar. Yes, I'm learning the Penang slang. And it's one of my challenging language class. But way better than my Arabic class (dulu2) just because takde ustazah yg nak conteng2 tudung kalau marah. Hahah.And my Penang slang's teacher is better-looking & charming. Eceee..Yes, go figure who.Hihihi..) Eventho ala2 self-pic, but I managed to capture everybody inside. Tapi Nasya muka separuh lah pulak..

Ini adalah gambar sewaktu rumah dijadikan pangkalan sementara untuk memproduksikan biskut raya. lihatlah bagaikan kilang. nasib baik kilang ini mempunyai para pekerja yang sangat efisien yang sanggup bertungkus lumus menghasilkan bikut2 raya yang berkualiti tinggi seperti Anzac cookies (ye, ini biskut tradisional negara Australia), Choc Cornflakes, semperit (biskut kegemaran saya sepanjang zaman) dan juga popiah kecil goreng (Warning: kesabaran yg tinggi diperlukan untuk membuatnya. Kalau tak sabar, beli je kat kedai. Buat satu hari setengah, baru dapat 1 botol ++. Urgh..Sangat tidak berbaloi.) We did all these cookies from 11am until 6am the next day. We only slept after Subuh. Memang gila ok. We should really get our promotion because of this.

L-R: Ini biskut kepingan jagung bersalut cokelat (or Choc Cornflakes that i mentioned tadi.Malay cook books have all these strange direct translation for the cookies. Kenapa lah susah2 nak translate satu2? Dari 2 suku kata, tgk dah jadik 4 perkataan ok. Sungguh tidak menjimatkan ruang buku). The 2nd pic is the Anzac cookies :) Aaap nyap nyap nyap.

Gambar ini tiada kene mengena dgn tajuk. This picture is used to decorate my whole floor during our Merdeka celebration. The other staff also had their picture taken holding the mini black board saying: "Kejayaan bagi saya adalah..." Eh kejap. Kenapa gambar ini di letakkan? Owh ye. I love what the effects did on my complexion/look.Hehe. I looked presentable.

Sekian percubaan untuk mengemas kini blog saya.

being random on : Ramadhan & Crocs

i absolutely have no idea or the motivation to write. aku malas.m-a-l-a-s. it could be my never-stop-piling work. my mrs.evil boss was transferred elsewhere leaving me all alone, having to do my own work AND hers as well. dah xde manager. terpaksalah cover.i dont mind the workload so much. BUT the part where i have to to the extra thinking, solving never-ending issues, and making decisions, part tu aku x gemar okkk.owh, when will the new manager be coming in? if i do hv one, ringan sket beban otak aku ni haa.dahla my work is very very operational, pastu i have to do the manager's part of thinking. looking from the positive side, yes this somewhat trains me lah kan in building my capabilities(ceewaahh..) BUT the downside is, boleh nervous breakdown kot. Patutla boss aku dulu selalu sakit and she has all these high-blood pressure lah, migrain lah. Ok scary. I dont wanna be like her!

Ooookay, moving onnn...it's Ramadahan!! Yeay! Like everyone else, i am very2 excited. dulu kecik2, i kinda dislike the fasting month and always looking forward to its end and then of course Raya. I still remember curi2 minum milo ais dlm toilet masa secondary skul. Before tht, kene pegi beli milo ais bungkus kat kantin. Konon2 ckp ngn makcik kantin tu nak buat buka la. Hahahaha..Macam lah makcik tu xtau kaaan..... Ape kes nak beli milo ais pukul 5 nak buat buka kan. Kecik lagi, nak tipu pun tak pandai. hahahahah... Well, to me at that time, it's all about the hype of Raya - getting new baju raya, duit raya, main bunga api, makan best2, pegi jumpa kazen2 and main bunga api lagi. But now I secretly wish for Ramadhan to never end. People seem to be more at peace, less rushing (at the office lah, tapi bile sampai je time balik, masing2 mcm nk marathon turun lif pegi parking), less bitchy (for the mackcikens) and boss pun x push nk deadline sgt (at least to me lah and for now..). And i look forward to break fast at home every day. Which has made my mom very happy, and in return, everyone is happy as well. I cant wait to buka puasa this weekend with Itah (my younger sist, who is going back frm Uniten, Muadzam), Aiman (my younger bro, who has been coming back every weekend frm Shah Alam) and of course Nasya and my parents. Finally, one big happy family! Own I can already imagine what my mom is gonna cook for us! Aaaah bliss. Susah nak explain perasaan buka dgn family laa.. Owh sungguh best. Not that I dont like eating out with friends but time2 bulan pose nih, tapi lagi best buka kat rumah lah. Relax pun relax. x yah susah2 nak rush tau.

And finally Ramadhan is also the most awaited month since we are gonna get the long-awaited-but-we-deserved reward!!!! Ka-ching!!!I have some big plans with it. Firstly, clear kan all my credit card debts. Then, bayar hutang Savvy. Theeen... I'm gonna get myself a lappietoppa!! Weehu! That will be the day when I'll be dragging him (lovingly :p) to the famous Techno + Gadget Alley and purchase one super super cool lappietoppa. And then after tht, of course lah menge-set up kan Internet at home. After the long wait, i'll make sure it is all worth it. It's time for this blog to be updated daily - weeee! Lain2, of course lah saving. But i osso have some stuff that i wanna buy. I need to pamper myself jugak. Ye tak. I am thinking of getting a pair of Crocs' wedges. Selesa sket nak berlari ke parking lot tu. Or berebut2 naik komuter..

his Crocs. the one with the leather tu is very nice. tht made me itched to get my own Crocs..

the new wedges collection! though it's not something tht i'd normally wear (just look at my shoes collection ok, all are stilletos and minimun 3-inches heels & wedges. Hey, a girl just needs height, esp short ones like me) but they're super comfy!

this is THE Crocs that i want!

What do you think?

dolores um-bitch...eh bridge

Fans of Harry Potter will recognize te above pic easily. That is Dolores Umbridge, the mean headmistress of Hogwarts School of Wizardry (i love how complicated it sounds. Wee-Zard-A-Ree. hehe..). And if you watched Harry Potter & The Order of Phoenix, you'd know that she is one evil, selfish, hypocryte down-to-very-core headmistress that any innocent student can ask for. Well, the reason why her pic is here in my blog is because I have my very own Dolores Umbridge here in the section. But in my case, it is more profound to change it to Dolores Um-bitch. She fits the description well. Senior in age, berlagak tau semua benda, provoking in a very bad way tht even our bosses were intimidated by her. Boleh tak? Aku pn dah confuse siapa sebenarnye yg boss. Eventhough I am still and Executive and not yet at a managerial level, I am still an officer to her okk. By position, she was downright just a Non-Executive but at a supervisory level since dia gile lama bertapa kat situ. By position also, I have the damned right to instruct/give orders/control/demand her to do stuff (work-related of course , unless aku nak bersifat kejam and suruh dia turun bawah & belikan lunch utk aku). But since I have a lot of respect for the elders and tak amik port pn pasal pangkat & darjat & whatnot, I can just disregard this issue. I am somewhat confused by this relationship between us the young ones and the veterans here in the office. There always seems to be something that they are not happy about us. From the way we walk, talk, dress up and even the way we perform our prayers. Which is way beyond ridiculous! Apakah kau nk tegur org pasal semayang siap nk tutup2 mata?. Just let her be lah. If she wants to correct something that is totally wrong like sembahyang laju sgt ke, rukuk tak cukup toma'ninah ke, lain la kan. The way I see it, it was completely irrelevant. If tht person can acquire kekhusyukkan solat dgn memejamkan mata, biar lah kan. (Dah agaknye kau pun sibuk buat bising2 kat bilik sembahyang tu sampai org lain terpaksa tutup mata sbb nk concentrate, whose fault is it then?) Owh c'mon Um-bitch. Isn't there anything better for you to do? I was once "di tegur" just because I sat on my friend's cubicle desk. She said, "Ey, masa office hour mana boleh duduk atas meja. Kalau nak buat, kene tunggu after office hour". And what was more irritating was that she said that from quite afar. Like she wanted the whole world to know. From the start, she has already showed that she just wanted to humiliate me. Dari aku tertonggeng2 nak tengok data from the pc, in which will display a more provocative position, it was better to sit. And as expected, I was freaking pissed off at that time. So I said to her, "Asal lak tak boleh? Ada dalam Code of Conduct ke cakap x boleh duduk atas meja? Saya tgk org lain duduk, boleh je". Sambil menjegilkan my already-big eyes to her. That Um-bitch was stunned. And she muttered something like "tak manis lah, hape lah".. And then she kept quiet. And i continued sitting there. Taking in the satisfaction of seeing her stunned expression. Aah, it was priceless.

surprise, surprise

I cannot believe that my final year project supervisor who is also my lecturer for the super-cool Visualization subject dulu, actually left a comment on my blog!!! (Refer to entry viva la vida). He stumbled upon this humble virtual place of mine on the web.

Hey Laz, just in case if you come back to read my blog, it was a really pleasant surprise to hear from you again :) I hope we can keep in touch and you'll be the world's most awesome dad to your little baby girl!!

Happy Friday to all!!

This made me wonder if he read some of the stuff that i wrote about the Modelling project and also something about him. Alamak dah la aku penah tulis yang dia kacak dulu in of the entries... Let's just hope that he didnt. Hmmm...

hellllooooo sexxayyyyy...

Arent this sexy lil' thang, just wonderful to look at?..... I waaaaaannnttttttttttttttttt..... It does display quite a resemblance to the Greek-inspired studded heels that Carrie wears in SATC the movie - sekali pandang laa kan.. hehe... But these heels are such a beauty!

It's irreverent!!!!! The I'd-never-have-a-bad-day-as-long-as-I-wear-you heels!!!

AAAAAAAAAaaaaa... I can marry the heels. (Heels? Will you marry me? I promise I'll make you very happy..)

Anyone feels generous enough to donate RM109 for the above shoes for me? :D

ulat buku

Yes I am a bookworm. I like to read. Ok besides funky wedges and sexy stilettos, I do invest profoundly in books. Still don’t believe it? I know you know that I religiously read Female and the likes of them vanity mags but I do fancy real books. I have the whole Sidney Sheldon collection. Not forgetting Judith McNaught for her creativity in romance-writing. Oh I love all of Sheldon’s books. Genius. I can reread his books over and over again…which I have done countless of times. Ngeee.. my first Sheldon book was Windmill of the Gods which I borrowed from a friend of mine back in high school. It was a hard-cover. So bayangkan, ke hulu, ke hilir usung buku besar dan berat itu. But I like hard-covers. Walaupun gabak but tahan lasak. And tulisan dia besar2.. I like!I also love, love, loove all the Harry Potter books. Well, what can I say. I adore stories of adventures full of myth, fantasy and magic. When these are combined into one, it’s awesome beyond imagination. Like the movie, Stardust, I can watch it over and over again. Remember the famous lines in the movie? “..My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.” Aaah.. Feel like watching it again this weekend. I don't know why I enjoy stories with elements of political conspiracies, thriller, action, murders and mysteries. Hence, that explains why I would have easily selected "Da Vincci Code","Vantage Point","Die Hard 4" over any chick flicks for both movies and the books. A few weeks back I bought James Rollins' Judas Strain. Oooo I love every bit of the storyline. My peneman setia while I was on the komuter back to Rawang. It was really good that the whole 45 mins journey didnt feel as bad as how it looks (with the countless pendatang, most of them busuk & pervets - I didnt mean to generalize but they are!!)

this explains how I spent my Sundays - a good book, and Nini (cokelat celup..celup, celup, celup..hahaha) And that was my father's Harakah (also part of my reading material)

He didn’t really layan Harry Potter but sweet enough to give me the book - “The half-Blood Prince”. That was his first book for me. And I foresee there will be more to come. Hehehe.. just the other day, he wanted to give me something, a present before he left for the far-far away land. (And I thought presents are only for certain joyful occasions or big festive celebrations). That’s him, being sweet and thoughtful as always. At first, I thought I am gonna get stuff like shoes or maybe something from Benefits. Since lately I have been talking a lot about how nice it’d be if I have comfy shoes when I’m running to catch the komuter. Like the wedges from Crocs maybe. But they are not here yet so I was just talking pointlessly at that time. And I am just plain crazy about Benefits. Surprise, surprise… we ended up at Kinokuniya and he told me to choose any one of my favourite book. Yeay!!! I’m gonna get a book rupa2 nya. Weeee.. I really am looking forward to get a new book since I have finished reading the last one that I bought. So there I was, like a kid in a candy store trying very hard to decide on which lucky book I’d pick. I wanted to get Harry Potter’s Deathly Hollows but I already found its pdf verdion on the net (save $$$. Ka-ching!!). Baik amik buku lain ye tak… the process of deciding, reading the synopsis, judging the covers and weighing the author’s ranking did take some time. Since I am such a sucker for thriller, conspiracies and mysteries (hence the Sidney Sheldon’s collection) so in the end I chose Matthew Reilly’s The 6 Sacred Stones.

tadaaaaa!! My new Sunday's project. Can't hardly wait :)

I am thinking of buying like a new cupboard or new funky rack for my books. Because at this moment I have 2 overflowing items in my room - shoes & books. I surveyed Ikea and they do have a few nice ones. But not sure on the size since my room wasnt tht big. Hmmm...

serabut & bersepah

Malaysia is going through an interesting political phase. Serabut mungkin? As the end result is yet to be known, I must say it is pretty scary at this moment. Let's just hope whatever happens in the end is for the good of all of us.

Moving on to lighter note, I need (READ: am desperate) to clean up, rearrange and revamp my cubicle. I can get sick just by looking at it. Too many files on the table. Too many papers. Too many post-it-notes. Too many, too many.. I miss the times when I used to own a cool bedroom back in the OZ days where I decorated it in style (READ: fun with many cute/crazy and creative artsy stuff on the wall plus a corner for my aroma theraphy things plus books and flowers). Sigh. Dahla ada built-in wardrobe okkkkk..Anddd not forgetting a bathtub! And also a swimming pool which will be heated during winter. Owh rindu nya! Anyhow, my cube is swamped and I need a major overhaul. And it's not helping la kan that some makcikens yg suka menyibuk suruh aku kemas tempat aku tuh. Huh. As usual, like they have nothing better to do. My cube is all primp and proper okkkk before this hectic schedule started to take over my life. Takpe2. Lepas aku kemas, siap kau makcikens!

my untidy cube

the unwanted view of the files but wanted for the sake of work

very very unattractive..ewgh

ya ampun.. gile bersepah

guess what are being spread out on the floor underneath my cube?

....my lovelies!!

I might have to go the office and do some spring-cleaning this weekend. Maybe baby. Hmmm......

viva la vida

Apart from the political turmoil, crazy increase in petrol price, erratic weather, and annoying bosses/colleagues, please listen to Coldplay's latest album. Worth every worry, stress or trouble that you're currently facing.

Let's get high on good music :)

the BIG two-five... (part i)

i got to celebrate this special day (waaay in advance) with this certain special someone.Woott!! I'd say it was a celebration of pure joy, full of love and hard-rockin' tunes. Why? We went to watch Butterfingers performed at the Zouk.(Note to Raf: kitorang pegi sbb nk temankan kau tau. Sweeet taaak?) I'm not really an avid fan of this hugely talented band.But yeah,there were some Butter's songs that I like to listen to.One of the earlier songs that I used to listen to was Malayneum.Unique. Ok back to my birthday story.I stayed overnight at my hot Egyptian gf's house the night before along with my 2 other girlfriends. We did the usual all girls' nite in thing.Cook, eat,gossiping while watching movies(that had hot dudes in it for us to oggle over. Best option: 300. Ngeee..). After a night full of laughter, juicy gossips and good food,he picked me up from The Ascott the next day and we headed straight to KLCC. Kerja di KLCC, takkan sambut birthday pun kat KLCC jugak?Mula2,apakahhh jugak laaa kann.. BUT, when you're celebrating with a certain special someone (ahem), everything else didnt seem to matter (cewaaah..). Lagipun, we were going to watch Butters afterwards.Dekat :D. Rock chicasnye sungguh.Mungkin one fine day when I get married, I'll have some rock band perform for my reception.Mwahaha.. Tht'd be interesting. Anyway,I like the way my birthday was celebrated this year.Since I'm the type of person who adores pleasantly-unusual & non-typical surprises,I just loved every minute of it. And everything, just fit perfectly the way imagined how it'd happen. Terimalah,gambar2 di bawah :)

birthday lunch. nyum nyum..

Uninspired

Back when I was a university student, I used to have a lot of ideas to write in this blog. A lot. I always could get the inspiration that I want anywhere, anytime. Inspiration from Mother Nature, people around me, my observation, my life, almost ANYTHING. When I read my old entries, I was quite amazed on my capacity to ponder on things that revolved around me and later put in words (I could be easily inspired by a petty accident at a bustop and then rushed back home to write about it). Didn’t matter whether I was writing an emotionally-charged entry or just updating the daily little tasks back then in Down Under. I could just write and let my thoughts flow. But now, I find it hard to find the inspiration and start writing as frequently as I can. Is it because of my work? Or the lack of accessibility to technology? Sometimes, when the inspiration came, I was at home, without a pc and internet (yes, I’ve been living quite a technology-less life nowadays) or when something interesting struck my mind, either I was mentally tired to wittily write about it or I was bogged down with some crucial work. Ergh..!!

I miss writing :(

Inspiration, please find your way home & come back to me......

hey ya'll!!

People might think that I was burying my head (too deep) into my never-ending piles of work that I have no time for other things in life. Well, I did bury my head, BUT I still manage to indulge in life's little luxuries.Heh. I tried the Fish Spa the other day with Sha at The Pavillion. It was ticklissshhh as hell.But relaxing and funny and cute at the same time. Just imagine having these mini-sized creatures nibbling away your dead skin cells from your feet.The moment I dipped my feet in the pool, we were attacked by the hungry so-called "Doctor Fish". Me and Sha terus tergelak cam kena poke or geletek mercilessly ala-ala kaki tgn kena ingat sumer.Haha.. We went there early so, so I reckon the fish were feasting on their "breakfast"(our feet).

the fish, enjoying their "yummy" breakfast

We headed to ZEN by Secret Recipe for brunch afterwards.I like the place. Very much alike Secret Recipe but the concept is more of a semi-fine dining eatery. On top of that, it offers more variety too! :) And the dessert? Rambang mata.They don't only have the usual, famous Secret Recipe cakes but also mouth-watering delicacies such as Triffle, Tiramisu, pastries and those lil' cute cakes/pudding displayed in a very inviting presentation. Here's a sneak preview of my strawberry triffle. Mind you, it's very very rich, thick and creamy. Sinful! But worth every bite of it.Hehe.

Last Sunday was a total alumni day. I had my university luncheon at Shangri La and later, Petrosains Dinner at Bora Ombak. Alumni gathering is meant for us to catch up with our classmates/friends after years of working and forgetting to contact each other. I miss UQ. University of Queensland is the place to be!(promote! promote!) Hehe. But yeah, I really miss the good old times back in uni. Where life was only about trying, experiencing & enjoying things that matter. Sure we all worried once in a while about the never-ending asisgments, exams,group projects (annoying & lazy groupmates) and studying.But we always know how to have fun back in those days. There was always a way.Even with our limited student's budget & holes on our pockets.Aaah.. I was so lucky to have the chance to study there and experienced my uni days in a foreign land where people were highly civic-minded, open (you could walk barefoot & nobody will give a damn abt it), friendly (Malaysians are friendly too but only to tourists!). Initially I was a bit nervous to turn up for this UQ event knowing that only 4 of us would be coming (my batch & ppl that I knew). True enough, when I arrived (was fashionably late as usual), the crowd was made up of mostly the elderly people. Yang graduated 10-30 years ago! We were the youngest ppl there. Kinda awakward la jugak, like how do you converse casually with people of your parents' age (mungkin lagi tua.my parents are still young :)), yang dah waaaay established (Datuks, Datins, succesfull entrepeneurs, politicians etc etc). If they were my bosses, takdela awkward mana pon kan. I could always cook up something about The Company's latest issues ke ape ke kan. Since we didn't have anything in common except for the fact that we studied at the same uni, takkan nk ckap pasal weather pulak kan.Friendly lebih2, derang ingat aku gatal pulaakkkk.Hahah.. But all in all,it was a good experience. Owh did I mention that I manage to accidentally insult this Datuk who owns a business in Labuan? Somebody please hand me a copy of Socialize like A Socialite for Dummies.

happy family of Petrosains. How I miss the good old times.The dude yg paling kanan is my supercool ex-boss!
