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 =)

PIPE 5 hangover...


all of us.. (spot me!)


posing baeeeek punya..heheh..


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


squeeeeeze picture! :)

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

curi-curi update blog during chemistry class

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

east coast is pretty cool

but I miss their absence...



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

the day i get access to the internet

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

long vacation

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

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

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

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

on heavy rotation



anyhow, may Monday brings the best out of you!

i have extreme dislike for:

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

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

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

tidur bola.makan bola.

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

...........

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

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

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

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

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

(311's Love Song.Love it)

HR people are not super humans

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

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

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

cry baby and take another little piece of my heart



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

ATTENTION TO STFians BATCH 1996-2000!

voila!


I went to watch this last nite.


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

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

In the meantime, have a nice day everyone!

oh yeah!

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

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

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

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

giler ke hape ?

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

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