happy friday? urghh..not for me!!

while other people were busy packing to rush back home, I was straining my eyes, staring at my pc, tgh terkemut2 nak siapkan kerja2. Apa citerrrrr niiiiiii?!?!? Orang lain sibuk2 nak balik.Even my super workaholic bosses have happily made their way home. Aku jugak laaaa yg terkulat2 depan pc ni haa sambil kelaparan teramat sebab sejuk gile babs skrg nii. Thank God Mr.Man was still online. I told him we were beginning to turn into dull adults. All work and no play. I told him we better make the best out of this coming weekend by doing only fun stuff and indulge in wuteva adventures that came to his mind. (His mind sebab ceq malas laa nk pk2.Ceq ikot sajaa noo..) Memang sah2 la dia tak dpt feel wht I was feeling now. Tgh in happy/nervous mode esok dpt perform in a, shall i say, mini gig? Eceeeehhh... You knw I dig rockstars. Hihihihi..(Gedikkk) He was pretty nervous actually.But happy at the same time.Nervous because tiba2 kene jadi drummer pulak. Fes time tu nak main depan audience. Mungking takde la ramai mana. But still.... If it was me, dah lama lari nyorok blakang langsir. Ok experience masa main Rockband berjam2 totally tak kire hokeh. Mr.Man is actually a guitarist.He plays the guitar. Ok I wanted to bagi pujian berbakul2 to him for being good at slammin' on his guitar and all.Tapi karang korang muak pulakkk. But I think he is good at what he's doing lah. Ok compliments end here. Anywayssss...He was starting to take interest in drums recently. Did I actually inspire you Mr.Man? (referring to baaaaack in the old days when I could play the drums.Tapi sekarang all the skills have gone rusty. T_T) Hahahaha.. Dah nak start taking formal classes dah pun. I am so proud of you :D. Oh good luck tomorrow k. U nak I buat and bawak banner untuk u tak esok? Hehehehe...

i am a book person

I remember the first time I got hold of my first Sidney Sheldon's book. I was 14 at that time. It was Windmills of the Gods and I think it was my classmate's.Rina.If i remember her name correctly. I read it passionately as it was very much intriguing. Conspiracy theory, murder, political agendas, suspense and full of unexpected twists. Oh my. I just love it. From there on, Sidney Sheldon has become my favourite author. I would try to get my hands on Sidney Sheldon's every chance I got. My second novel came not long after that. Bloodline. Beli kat Macro (sekarang dah xde).I was begging my mom for it, considering it was a bit pricey at that time. Heh. I think Rina was probably the most cool, book-loving person that I've ever known. She introduced me to the great world of Sidney Sheldon. She was also one of the first ppl I know in high school, who possesed comic collection like Slam Dunk and G.T.O. And of course later on, got me hooked on all of them.She was my resource back then.Hehe. Remember Sailor Moon? Wira2 comel bersanggul menentang penjahat. I was willing to ride on my mountain bike, naik bukit, to get them from this particular medai mamak in Gombak.And oohh..Remaja Psikometer! My absolute favourite. I have every single edition in my collection.Now, they are neatly tucked in my cupboard where my little sister would read them at any opportunity that she got.Sampai dah lunyai. Last weekend, I got myself a copy of Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game. A reprint I believe as it was being well promoted on the recommended shelf.Together with its sequel.Mistress of The Game. But of a different author, as the great Sidney Sheldon has passed away. I finished it in 3 days.Baca tanpa henti.Now I could hardly wait to buy its sequel.Though not frm the later Mr. Sheldon, but I hope it'd turn out great. Mr.Man, would you buy it for me please? Pretty please....

an attempt to update

my Friday morning was peaceful and serene. Mana taknya. Everybody went off for a meeting. I could do my work leisurely at my own pace. Tralalalala... But, at approximately 11.45, the serenity might wear off because of the proejct update meeting. Benci. This would also cause a slight delay of my lunch date with my girlfriends. Benci tauuuu. Ape cerite nak drag2 meeting sampai ke lunch time kan? Pergila masjid awal sket semayang jumaat. I dont know lah..I always wanted my Fridays to be happy since they are the ultimate kick-off to the weekends.But unfortunately, lotsa uneventful things happened on my favourite day.

weekend rendezvous

Friday
Its a helluva Friday! The time I usually get ready for work, I was still soundly sleeping. The time I was usually in my car driving to work, yawning & fighting to stay awake on the road, I was still..well..sleeping.Teheee..The time I was usually at the office already, turning on my pc and start checking my emails, I was waking up lazily....To flaky roti canai and maggi goreng, mamak style. Ah what a bliss. The privilege to not do anything, just being a lazy-bum all day long was priceless. I think the only hard labour that I did on that day was tidying up my own bed :p (and start updating this blog back).. Oh andddd.. a mini reunion/BBQ at Bob's (under the starry2 light) later that evening totally wrapped up my Friday. Met with some of my dear STF friends, did some catching up, reminiscing the good old days or rather; gossiping like there was not gonna be tomorrow. Seriously, memang tak cukup masa and tak puas okk. We should do this again.

Saturday

Waking up lazily, still :). As what has been happening the past several weekends, it was makan2 time again at open houses, weddings and more open houses. The agenda that day was to go to Mr.Man's high school friend's wedding, an engagement cum open house of a friend (also, a high school friend of Mr.Man) and finaally...To have dinner, somewhere special where we've never been to. The engagement thingy was really fun. Ok I know most people would have described ceremonies like this as sweet and romantic and all things pretty. Oh maybe we only got there a bit later for the makan2 thingy and didnt have the chance to see the whole process of engagement.But seriously...It was loads of fun. Gile la rakan2 Mr.Man. In a good way of course. Heh..The bride-to-be looked stunning :).I loooove the photo-taking session.So meriah. And funny.

Thank God it's Friday!!!!!

It's my favourite day of the week and it's a day off! It has been a while since I had a happy Friday.Usually my Fridays were filled with stressful project update meetings , people(or rather; this particular somebody) who'd come up to my cubicle and drove me crazy till I had no time to finish up my work and I ended up bringing back home my work for the weekend.

Today started off well. I forced my mom to teman me have breakfast, mamak-style. I ordered 2 roti canai garing, and 1 of them, banjir for my mom. Sekali tu mamak tu pegi banjir kan dua2. Well, had no choice but to fonish them all up. By the time we finished, I saw a lot of families there, most of them with their kids. Cuti sekolah kan. Lucky buggers. I remember when I was their age, my mom wouldnt let me have roti canai for breakfast.Unhealthy, katanya. Breakfast was always milk and bread with jam. Or hot milo. Jgn harap dpt roti canai2 ni. Weekend pun, my mom would cook breakfast for us. "Lagi bersih, makan kat luar tu kotor tau tak.Mak nak anak2 makan benda2 yg elok".. That was her answer when I kept bugging her to let me have roti canai or mintak duit belanje sekolah lebih sket because I wanted to have that nasi lauk ayam merah kat kantin sekolah. My school canteen had 2 type of food price.One was the cheap nasi lemak, mee goreng or nasik goreng which cost around 50cents-70cents kooott.Didnt really remember.The type that school kids woulld normally buy.The other type was at the higher end.Hehe.. Around singgit lebih or 2 hinggit kot. Kire mahal la time tu for a primary school kid. I remebered bringing my bekal almost everyday to school. Pastu bila nak makan time recess, segan2 sebab rasa tak cool lah makan bekal kan.Orang lain beli je.Hehehe.. But I guess what my mom said is true. The habit of bawak bekal still remains until now. Funny thing is, sometimes I could easily get diarrhea if I eat out, at places yg ala2 x menjaga kebersihan sgt. Seriously. My stomach must have get used to home-cooking I guess.

As tomorrow is Deepavali, Auntie Malar, my indian neighbour invited the whole family to her makan2 thingy tomorrow. Yeay! I just looooove this festive season.Good food is easily accesible :) I'll be going to Bob's bbq-mini-reunion tonight. Cant hardly wait. I know I'll be seeing a lot my high school friends whom I havent seen for ages. Rinddduuuuuu!!

See you lovelies tonight!

The resurrection

It is hard to resume a hobby once it has been long neglected. Like blogging. Hello, my dear blog. But i promise myself to start back on writing, as i do miss it. i miss venting out. I miss letting out all of my feelings and emotions. just to express all of them out there, baring it all, give some kinda satisfaction to me. Working life does consume a LOT of my time and energy. It sucks up all the fun in my life and if i dont start doing something about it now, I'll be dull and soon vanish into thin air. But this is a start. Will post up a complete entry tomorrow. Watch this space.
