jauh jauh / from a-far



From a-far
Way beyond the mountain green
White sands
Await the azure sea

The waves break
Faintly whispering
Are the breezes that blow
Carrying my message to her

So sad
When I think of the past
Far away
The memories have been left behind

Lost, and consumed by the waves
That call to her
Leaving me alone
To remember her from a-far

weekend aftermath

i managed to comply to my things-to-do list during the weekend. i ate and slept and bersuka-ria till i found it hard to sleep last nite. Oh maybe i was still excited that The Lima won! Hehe..I wasnt a sucker for reality shows esp tht involed singing but Gangstarz kinda captured my attention. Anyhouuu.. The Lima won last night (i know this may sound ridicolous but that Taura was cuteeeee in a gay-ish kinda way. Hahaha.. He has great hairstyle and funky sense of fashion) My dvd player was temporarily shut down. i did watch waris jari hantu and shrek 3. but dua2 dvd hang in the mid of the movies. ngok! so i spent my lovely weekend to finish up reading Match Me If You Can. i am not usually fond of chic lit BUT this one was really good, i tell ya'! it managed to make me laugh (sorang2 cam org gile), smile (like org angau) and surprisingly make me shed a tear or two. (maybe this part wasn't so surprising sgt since i do cry at movies too. Hehs..) Blame it all on PMS. (or else i wouldn't be THAT emotional just by reading a chic-lite :p) But all in all, it was a good mind-relaxation practice. I need to do this more!

to-do-list tomorrow

take of yourself and each other :p

match me if you can..

is the book that i am currently reading. i have been rereading my Sidney Sheldon's since i dont have new reading materials to indulge in, unless if you count in Female and Marie Claire and Cosmo. Hehs.. But truth is, i used to read a lot. I read books, newspapers, articles, educational magazines and i even read the newspaper article at the back of nasi lemak wrapper. Back then, everthing seemed to interest me. I also continued my passion to read during the uni years. Though it was a bit challenging to juggle time between reading Programming-Guide-For-Idiots and the highly entertaining biographies of the rich and famous. The point is, I still tried to find the time to read. But now, interestingly, I just couldnt slot the reading-leisurely time in my daily routines. Padahal, bukannya busy sangat 24/7 pun. Okla there were times when i was busier than the queen bee,where i had late nights, and unpurposely ignored or forgotten lunch/dinner dates. I think i need to get myself some new good books since it has been a while, dont u think? Looks like someone needs to cut down on shoe budget next month. Dang!

post-birthday-celebration



somebody pls hit at the back of my head with a large trout. im still in the mood to celebrate :p

regardless the fact tht i know it's a bit too late to say my thank yous but what the heck kan. So,thank you people for the lovely birthday smses and wishes. it reminded me that i wasnt forgotten =)and the lovely birthday presents. thank you! (rai, thanks for the baskins! aku suda gemok okkk). and oso naj (for lunch@chillis). and oso yana (the kains). zaza (for the yummy cupcakes). etc etc..and the list goes on..

ok macamane nak cakap kat org yg tgh tunggu lift sesame tht i just got back from the gym when asked, "makan mane tadi?" I was just too lazy to elaborate my answer since, if i answered ,"taklah pegi gym tadi", they would continue waahh-ing at my statement and gave me this either sceptical or amazed look. and then the conversation would continue to "rajin nyee. diet eeh?" in which i totally hated to answer. and selalunye aku malas nak jawap di tengah khalayak ramai dlm lift yg sememangnye ramai org. okla. allow me to explain. i used to go to the gym after work. but i changed my schedule to lunch time since i need to go back with my sist who's also working at Petrosains currently. coz if do my gym after work, my sist then had to wait for me plak. cam kesian plak budak tuh dok nunggu/merayau sorang2 kat kkcc ni. and since i am the sweetest big sister that my younger sist could ever asked for, maka my lunch time is gym time now. but it was great actually to go to gym during lunch coz that was when all the expats, meaning, the foreigners worked out! Seeing foreigners there just reminded me so much about Brisbane (aside from the part where i get to cuci mate sikit2. hehs. kidding!)when huda and i used to go to the uni gym on weekends and worked our butts off. I bumped into some of the big guns there, exercising. Rase cool sekejap, rubbed shoulders with the VIPs :p I was once too stunned this one morning,seeing this one VP lifting weights sbb beraaat dan besaaar giler okk itu weights.i mean for a guy his age.okla i dont know how old he is. but he must be a lil bit old kan? I was amazed too that he actually exercised. Coz a guy his age was always boroi and unfit. plus, a malay living in malaysia yg exercising isnt really a culture. plus, a VP must be really bz with the super tite schedule.But he does exercise! i am sooo proud being a member of this gym. Yeah, i love gym. My gym.

ahoy!!

this is a very long due entry. havent been writing and updating for quite some time. byk bende nak cite, i tell ya'! anyhow, yours truly had turned 24 on 29th. another year older, one year wiser? i hope so. *fingers crossed* Very the lazy to write on what i did on my fantabolous and super-fun birthday celebration. So i put up some pictures for you to splurge on. Ngehee.. I celebrated my 24th the weekend before 29th coz hassle okk nak bersuka-ria on a working day. Nanti kalau hangover teruk sanngat, sape nak jawab? So on a bright Saturday morning,we went to OU (my fave mall)to watch Pirates of The Carribean with badges illustrating "N" on them,on our shirts/tops. FYI, "N"= Najwa's Day. And hence the badges. I liked this 3rd Pirates better than the other 2. Coz one, i understand the stroryline waaay waay better than the first and the second. Second, Will Turner sudah berubah menjadi hantu tanpa tentakel sotong! Tak boleh aah everytime tgk jelmaan kurita Davy Jones tu sure rase cam nak muntah sbb geli. And third, why must Jack Sparrow looked so damn attractive with the wacky personality, witty jokes and lines and the kelam kabutness tapi still remain cool and calm. Watching Pirate made us (more like me) hungry.Went to have a supposedly-meant-to-be a simple lunch tapi sebab we both were really really hungry, so simple lunch itu telah bertukar menjadi quite a heavy one. Our next destination was The Curve (my all-time fave too), to have THE special dinner and of course, my birthday present (which i know what was it already since i was the one who picked it up. plus, the part yang ter kantoi bagitau itu..mueheheh..)So we went there, strolling around the flea market area looking like a couple who were very much in love (eceeehh..) and into food (apakah?!?!).. The Marche witnessed me looking stupefied receiving THE birthday present from him. Not enough seeing grinning from ear to ear, i was surprised again for the 2nd and the 3rd pressies. Now tell me why is shouldnt be feeling ecstatic? *grins* No piccies for this since I remembered it so well that i didnt need pictures to help me :) On 29th, i had another celebration with my friends. This time around, Gloria's was the vital witness of the whole happy bunch celebrating my birthday. Piccies peeps!


finally my own cupcakes! after much drooling and lusting just by looking at them. hehs..


im 24 y'all!!


Aseana's yummy cuppy. thanks to YOU >_<


say Shoeeeee...


ma' pressies.. (happy belated bday zaza!)


stop checking out my cuppy, you perv!


center of attention


the aftermath...

Sekian!

i love the month of May!

nyiangahahaii.. :D

i wonder why kan when you were trying really really hard to be nice but people seemed to treat you harshly by verbally providing hurtful and unkind words?

-maybe they were having a bad (hair) day
-maybe they were bugged by loads of problems
-maybe they were goin' thru the PMS cycle
-maybe they had just been humiliated in front of others during a big meeting (happened to me. it wasnt pretty, trust me.could end up having severe gastrics.hoh!)
-maybe their girlfriends had just left them
-maybe they didnt get the promotion that they wanted
-maybe they were hungry
-maybe they were emotionally affected by the incident in Ijok
-maybe their favourite group were voted out from Gangstarz
-maybe they were bullied by their sucky bosses
-maybe they couldn't get the Spiderman 3 tickets for the first day screening (i got! i got! i got! yeays!!)

maybe maybe maybe maybe...

akhirnya aku yg stress.. ntah hape-hape.. sakit hati! grrrrr....

so long and farewell.....

this blog will be inactive for quite a while until the writer has healed completely and found her spirit to write again..

*meditation mode turned on*

have a good day everyone! :)

shopaholic craves for cupcakes

Everytime I have this genius idea (by my standard of writing) to write I will always ended up not writing because one, no pc at home and two, I malas nak drive pi cc or 3rd, I just don’t have the frigggin’ time to blog during office hour. And now when I wanna write, I couldnt even put a proper sentence together. Anyhooooo, last Fri the BF and I went for a shopping spree at Bangsar. It was a total bliss to go shop on a working day since I didn’t have to queue for the fitting room, I didn’t have to berebut with the other girls (it could be quite a messy situation esp when mega-sales were involved) and parking was sooo easy meezy breezy. The spree took us from 10 am and ended by him sending me back home (Rawang bumi bertuah) at around 11-ish pm. Apakah?!?!? As you can already guess, yeah yeahh…the back-to-back gruelling hours were dominated by ME! Haha.. It was officially “Najwa’s day”. The shops there were soooo awesome that I ended up buying two hot working pants, some tops’ accessories and nearly, really really nearly, few pairs of shoes. Oh they were only literally bought by me. Thank YOU => Bliss, bliss, bliss. Tell me how I could not be happy. I love everything that I (literally) bought (and of course YOU. Hehe..) Our adventure didn’t end at Bangsar. Our next stop was OU. I worshipped OU (and The Curve). And again, it was pure delight since there were not many people around. While people were busy being tortured with their bosses, endless deadlines and annoying customers, I was in OU and Bangsar, shopping my heart out! Uhuh! My day couldn’t get any happier when I get to shop WITH a personal shopping assistant-cum-image consultant. A very loyal one. (Thank God for the mesin urut kaki in OU. Hehehe. They should have the same thing here in KLCC, just in case)..

PPA. Only those working their asses off in Tower 1 or 2 in KLCC would have an idea of what this was. I just wanna say one thing. After a session with mrs evil boss this morning, I was really surprised to have her say super-duper nice things about me. While she was babbling all those sugar-coated compliments about how I was a hardworking worker, how I could go far with my work attitudes now, how I was capable blah blah blah and she didn’t mind at all and would be more than happy if all of us in this department got a 2 for PPA. (2 stands for exceeding expectation if you must know), at the back of my mind I was, yeah yeah yeahhhhh.. I just wanna get this PPA thingy over and done with. It was obvious that all of a sudden people were nice to you. First step in finding an ally! Maleh nak melayan drama2 ini semua. I wasn’t planning to fight for 2 pun. Tapi mengapakah lambat sangat mau kasi approve sama itu rating?

Ok did I tell you I have started driving to work now? Ngeeehee.. I love love love it. It was waaay better than cramping your way into a komuter with all the ghetto-look-alike passengers trying to push you down the railway. I was new to all these driving thingy so excuse me if I seemed to be overjoyed and freaking ecstatic by it. Haha. I’m so allowed to do so okkk. But the downside of driving to work with a spanking brand new car was the expenses that came along with it. Minyak, tol (yg cekik daghah) and parking and most importantly, the monthly car payment. Haihh.. but it was still and always better then taking the komuter. So, hoorah for me!

Ohh di kedai manakah saya boleh mendapatkan cupcake yang comel2, dekoratif and sedap rasa nya? I’ve got craving for cupcakes!

fly me to the moon...

who initiated the use of the word sucky for all that was related to apalling, awful, dreadful and the likes? thanks coz its such a simple word that summarize how i felt at the moment. sucky. my life now. mrs evil boss was away. i should be overwhelmed with joy for there will be no traumatic incidents or tasks, at least temporarily. i could even write this. but why the suckiness? i don't know when or how it all started.

end of negative post.

On a lighter note.today is 14th March. Happy I(1).LOVE(4).YOU(3) Day everyone!

He'll be playing in a basketball league tonight. Wish I could be there and cheer for you. Gimme a B, B!! Ahahaha.. *good luck hugs and kisses*

Tomorrow mrs evil boss is going to be back in the office.Demmit laa..

unlucky in love

if you have watched the movie Cinta, you will know about this character played by Nanu as the lover of a married man. She always got stood up by tht guy everytime they planned to go out. Ok first mmglah salah to bercinta with laki orang. Tapi in terms of perasaan, i just wanna say how frustrating she must have felt every time she was disappointed. To be in a situation where you force yourself to say "it's ok" after hearing numerous apologies and excuses (regardless of whether they're true or not) and forced yourself to think that everything is gonna be fine if only you be a little more lenient, a little more patient or a little more flexible. It was like holding on to nothing. You could never win. If you confronted him then you'd be accused of being not understanding enough laa, kena jadi flexible lagi laa. If you just keep it to yourself, then you'd suffer. But she stayed anywyas. Why? Because she loved him. Or so she thought. It was a sad portrayal of a woman who was unlucky in love. I don't wanna feel like how Nanu felt in that movie.

Happy Friday everyone!

want-or-don't-want vs. ready-or-not-ready

there's a thin line separating these two. how can you really be sure that you want something soo bad but unconsciously you're not ready for it? it could be the other way around but still the question will always be how do you know which category you belong to. like for example, i want my colleague's job, i really do. but do i possess enough capabilities and the right skills & personality for it? yeah u know sometimes what you want is shadowed by all the glitz and glamour attached to it. plus u mite have ppl around you saying tht it'll be a great loss if you don't take it. but is tht wht you really want? are you really capable of doing it? it is such a critical decision to make coz it's your own future tht we're talking abt here. plus, assuming a bigger responsibility has never been a simple issue. maybe we could just take it and learn along the way. go-with-the-flow kinda way. after all, it is all about learning and "growing with the company". same goes with relationship (looks like najwa is gonna start her oprah-talk here!). a friend of mine emailed me (and the rest) abt this matter. it did make me think. a lot. (dem u danny!heh..) is wanting him as my boyfriend the same as i'm ready for a relationship? how do i know i'm ready? how does everyone in the whole wide world know? how does HE know that he's ready? aahh..always with something to ponder on, don't you najwa? it could always be a go-with-the-flow thingy, learning from each other as we go along the way. does tht mean tht we're ready? how much weight does the significance of readiness matter then? the fact tht i love him so dem much doesn't change even by a micromilimiter. but at the end of the day, the question will always be, how do i know?

happy mourn-day everyone!
(i hate mondays)

hari yang b**d*h

i have a very simple wish today (tonite, since i am staying back at the office to do some goddamned work.. pweehhh..), that is to have a hot meal and good coffee for dinner here, at this humble workstation.

wish add-on: good companion to help me stay through the nite. how i wish..

okaaaayyy...back to the real world now najwa, and work..

hey i'm back

its kinda weird to start writing back. my vocab has gone outta window. thank god i can still type and construct a few complete sentences. but they still sounded weird as i was reading them right at this moment. apepepuuuunn... updates!!

yeap, a lot of things happening to me right now. career-wise. home location-wise. family-wise.friends-wise. a number of friends got married. high school friends. uni friends. it was pure joy by just being there watching the whole beautiful love affair. aaahh.... why do they have to make weddings so unbelievably sweet and blissful? seri got married in maroon. nice choice of colour. i like anything red and since maroon kinda belongs to the family of red, so yeah i love maroon =) Huda was the pengapit. Ngehehe.. It was kinda fun watchin u , mengelap peluh dingin seri atas pelamin tatkala aku , nor and fado' macam nak rabak perut menggelakkan telatah seri yg tak reti dok diam since she put on her wedding gown. Ahahaha.. Met a LOT of STFians yg dah tak jumpe like, 5-6 years ago? Wow! Time flies kan? It was really good seeing them again. Kabeer is going to get married soon! When i received her sms saying tht shes gonna get married in few weeks time, I was like whoaaa kabeer kau nak kawen? hehe.. Congrats darling! will try to make it okay? And owh,Nurul my Brisbane friend had just got married last weekend in JB. Best wishes to both of you :)

I moved to Rawang finally, where the distance is unbelievebly infuriating. The house is nice and all, but to wake up at 5am every morning and leave home before Subuh, is definitely challenging. Mengapakah saya harus berpindah ke tempat yang jauh dari pembangunan dan KLCC ini? Amat menjelekkan. for now, yeah i hate Rawang. Dahla jalan sempit, byk construction, byk lori besar gabak lalu pulak tuh..Apakah?!?!? (emo emo). Haaihh.. Sakit otak di buatnye kena travel hari2 pegi balik Rawang.

On a happier note, my man and I went to Genting during CNY holiday few weeks ago. We went there with two other friends, Yana and her bf. I have never been to its theme park. So i was really really xcited. It wasnt as good as Dreamworld but, yeah I like it! Got no words to explain our trip there. Soooo...pictures as per below.


genting yeay!


that was our breakfast


muka ketat before Solero Shot


muka cuak before our first ride

mr. Coke-a-holic is trying to get hold of the biggest Coke can

enjoying our lunch like nobody's business


i think we've met before..


hello there...

And not forgetting, last Sunday, I went to watch and cheer him playing 3 on 3 basketball. It was a loooong day but fun. Maleh tulih. So piccies (again. Yeaaaahh u can hate me now ppl :p)


my man in action


again. heh..

yang terimpi

benarkah kita kan terus bersama
akankah tercapai yg kita impikan
bila kau telah punya dunia mu
ke mana pergi dunia kita

walau berasa hampa
tetap ku tuliskan puisi indah
untuk mu wahai sahabat
walau kau semakin jauh dari landasan

walau dunia kita hilang
walau mimpi kita tenggelam
aku masih di sini
sedia utk mencari dan menyelami
semua yg terimpi


post lunch-disappointment

mengapakah?

The Muse concert this coming 25th Feb: Event for non-muslims aged 18 and above only. Aiyohh! Sungguh menghampakan. Saya berasa sungguh kecewa. Kecewa yang teramat sangat sehinggakan teman lelaki saya terpaksa mengguntingkan keratan iklan konsert ini dari suratkhabar untuk ditunjukkan kepada saya agar saya tidak terus berasa sedih. Walaubagaimanapun saya berharap mereka akan mengadakan konsert lagi di mana saya boleh menyertainya.

Mungkin anda pernah mendengar mengenai drama bersiri di tv; Dunia Baru. Oh saya amat menyukai rancangan ini! Tak tergambar dengan kata-kata! Sesetengah pihak mungkin beranggapan rancangan ini adalah sangat keanak-anakan dan tidak berfaedah. Tetapi pada pendapat saya, watak2 di dalam Dunia Baru adalah sangat lucu ditambah lagi dengan dialog-dialog kontemporari yang amat menghiburkan. Jalan ceritanya ringkas sahaja. Berkisar mengenai kehidupan sekumpulan kawan-kawan di universiti yang menempuhi suka-duka kehidupan remaja. Setiap watak mempunyai cerita yang tersendiri. Cinta tiga segi, pengaruh rakan sebaya, mesalah keluarga, pelajaran, cita-cita dan beraneka lagi jalan cerita yang amat menarik. Watak kegemaran saya adalah Madi kerana dia membawa watak seorang bersuara lantang dandia teramat sangatlah lucu. Dan saya tidak sabar-sabar hendak menunggu episod seterusnya pada minggu hadapan, untuk melihat apakah kesudahan cerita Madi dan Darius, di mana telah berlakunya sessi meluahkan perasaan oleh Darius, dan Madi begitu panik dan tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukan seterusnya. Saya berasa amat tertarik dengan apa yang dikatakan oleh Darius kepada Madi sewaktu hendak meluahkan perasaanya, "Emma tu cuma girlfriend je, tapi saya suka awak dan nak ambil awak jadi isteri saya". Ooohh.. Indahnya percintaan remaja. Hahaha.. Tetapi adalah sangat sweeeet.. Tetapi pada masa yang sama saya secara tiba-tiba simpati ke atas nasib si Emma dan juga semua gadis-gadis di dunia ini yang berada di tempatnya. Bayangkan.. Bercinta bagai nak rak. Tapi tiada hasilnya. Tsk tsk.. Saya cuba membayangkan jika nasib saya seperti Emma. Oh alangkah sedihnya dan juga menakutkan pada masa yang sama. Oleh itu marilah kita semua menjadi lebih berhati-hati. Baiklah rakan-rakan semua. Sampai di sini sahaja coretan saya buat kali ini. Saya akan kembali dengan lebih banyak lagi ulasan mengenai Dunia Baru pada minggu hadapan. Jumpa lagi!

a quote from a friend

"everything is true until we find out tht it's a lie"

very interesting indeed.this for once highlighted the fact tht you have a helluva smart thinking! *clap clap*

happy Tuesday people!
Mine was sucky, hope yours wasn't!

what the heck?

there's a vast difference between keeping yourself busy with things that you like and being kept busy with things that you truly despise. ok so i know that i was supposed to be organizing the Gala Dinner on the 13th. I liked the idea at first. i like organizing stuff like this. because its fun. its waaaaay different from my real scope of office job. which is utterly annoying most of the time with ppl nagging and constantly stalked me. as if they had nutin better to do lah kan. ok fine lah its part of my job to layan ppl (as if lah im so much of a people person.Konon!). But can u ppl like, gimme a break?!? I need space to breathe too okkk!! Haiyohhh!! And this practice thing was also starting to get on my nerves. Waaaarrgghh!!!

im confused whether should i be angry or sad. caught in emotions or should i just use what's left of my patience and relax? hoping tht this awful feeling will just go away. i don't know. my heart aches. i didn't ask for much. im not a demanding bitch. but i just want to be and feel appreciated. for now i just want to be bitter and as angry as i can. its better anyways then feeling sorry for myself, crying over my dissatisfaction and hoping for consolation that would never come.

carrie bradshaw once said..

"When it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?"

"I am someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love".

..........

welcome back to reality, najwa!

Happy new year!

So whats your 2007 resolution?

Entering the office after a long holiday was like being snapped back into reality. No more waking up late. No more stretching out lazily on the bed waiting to be called for breakfast. No more staying up late watching nothing on tv. It wasnt rosy at all to work while still trying to get rid of the holiday-hangover. But on a lighter note, it was quite refreshing getting back into the office when almost everyone especially the much-dreaded mrs.boss were still on leave. Oh how I love!
So what's new for me in 2007? Transferred to E1 from a mere seeding. Sekarang guwe bukan lagi benih picisan yo!But still kerja cam kuli. Hohoho.. But a kuli with a much better prospect, I guess. I will also not be handicapped anymore, soon. So pray together for my new baby to be arriving soonest possible, safe n sound! My family and I will also be moving to some place, far far far away. I hate its impossible distance from KLCC. To think that i have to commute every single day to work, was apalling. But I think im gonna like it anyways cos the new house is beautiful. How was everyone's new year's celebration? I celebrated it as usual, the same thing that I've been doing for the past 6-7 of my adolescent years: glued to the TV watching practically everything and also doing what I love most, reading. I was re-reading one of those Judith McNaught's from my very very very dusted collection of novels. and oh Take That is back y'all!!! I know I know. But I just can't stop from loving this British band. I used to have a collection of their posters (yeah among my many posters of Nsync too. Heh) back when i was in high school. I was once a teen too ok! Sungguh lah idola ku mereka ini. My fave of all the members would be (and still is!) Jason Orange. (scroll down scroll down, take a look at my much-idolized Jason. Huahuahua..). I miss listening to Back For Good. Mereka ini tidaklah poyo (I don't care what u have to say about this!) and boleh juga menyanyi lagu2 yg menghiburkan. Anyhouuu.. notice the frequency of these songs being played on air lately?

-Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
-Fergalicious by Fergie
-London Bridge by Fegie
-Wind It Up by Gwen Stefani
-Hate Me by Blue October

I swear if I had to listen to one of this in the next hour, I'd die of mental torture!!!!!!!!! Yuccckkkkssssss!!!!! Be it my biasness or whateva but I just hate all of them. Hoh!!!


Take That!


spot him!


aahh..bliss~~~

I kinda miss the time when I was a tv series-addict. My salvation entertainer: The ever-so-great Sex and The City,Smallville, the O.C and Grey's Anatomy. I used to dream having a life like Carrie Bradshaw, so free, independent and surrounded by never-failed-to-be-there bunch of girlfriends. Where life is all about enjoying what you have at the moment, hanging out at the coolest clubs and cafes and dating gorgeous guys. Mwahahaha.. Angan-angan, boleh? Tom Welling in Smallville? *drool drool* But I also like Lois Lane in there. Very feisty, daring and not to mention, hot! (say it like Paris Hilton does, "Haaaawtt!!") I just like the idea of a teen with superhuman powers still had to go through the struggles like any other normal kid would. It just made Clerk Kent more human and vulnerable. And also the ever-so-witty Seth Cowen with his equal-match gf, Summer Roberts. Tell me why I shouldn't love them. Funny okkk!!!

Last nite, mom picked me up at lrt station coz it was rainining heavily. On the way home, we stopped by a burger stall and ordered some burgers and hotdogs. This stall sold the best burger jalan ever in the whole Gombak, i tell u!! We stayed in the car lah kan since it was raining and waited for our order. So tht abang burger pun sent lah our order to our car and I paid him. My mom being her usual friendly-self pun started lah a conversation, saying something abt the rain and memuji the ketabahan dia berkerja bla bla bla.. I was being polite also lah to him since I was paying him using lotsa lotsa coins. Total=RM12.50. Haaa..Banyak giler tak coins mamat nih kene tadah tangan? As I was apologizing to him abt the hassle of him menadah tgn amik the coins, and getting our burgers at the same time, boleeeeeeh pulak mamat ni cakap aku manja sambil tersengih-sengih. "Anak makcik ni manja ye.." My mom didnt hear it as she was busy talking on the phone. Ape kejadahhhhh?!? Hitting on me with my mom sitting right next to me? Gilaaaaaaaaaa!!! Dan juga gataaaalllllllll!!!! Nasib baik burger kau sedap, kalau tidakkkk... Grrrrrrr!!

*snap back to reality*

Gotta get on with my real work.

So bye for now!

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..

::Najwa, your closet's inspired by the '80s ::

"No, we don't mean '80s in the mullet-sporting-massive-bow-wearing kinda way. 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 =)

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)
