New year wish

hye peps.. will be updating all of you on my trip to Jakarta and Bali soon... rite now rasa tersangat la malas :) neway, wanted to wish all of you (in advance) a happy and joyful new year.... just in case in didn't manage to find the time to write by the end of this year. Cheers!

Trip to Teluk Intan

My dad text me saying that he wanted me to accompany him to Teluk Intan. My cousin (who is in his early 40's) will get both of his legs amputed as a result of diabetic. Just like what happened to my dad, only worst! I couldn't imagine his life after this having to go thru each day without both of his legs.. Maybe ini dugaan dia di dunia. Maybe Tuhan has prepared something good for him in the hereafter. Only God knows. But things happen, happen for reasons, rite?

So I took the sunday off and I dragged along my baby (poor him). We reached perak at around 12pm. we went to visit several relatives and had our lunch at the famous "Mastan Ghani" mee. We went to the hospital at 4pm but unfortunately my cousin had already been taken to the surgery room. My dad decided to hang around the hospital before we took off for KL. We had our dinner at one of the Kedai Ikan Bakar with my dad's old frens. Its was altogether 7 of them. Sronok tgk orang2 tua dok sakan recalling back their past experiance. How they mengorat their wife, the noughty stuff dat they did together. I was really tired, but I did not show them since I didn't want to effect their good times.

Sian my bf since he was the one yang took the wheel chair in and out from the car boot, open them and help my father to sit and get off from the wheel chair. Ada la more then 8 times... hehehe... tq sayang.

On our way back, my aunty text my dad informing that the surgery was a success and that his condition is stabil. Alhamdulillah.

remember2 the 9th of November

I have just celebrated my 27th birthday on 9th November. Its just getting better each year. Rasa sronok sgt. The night before my b'day, I stayed over at my cousin's place (azie). We went to the club listening to the music and dance the night away. The similarities between her and myself is that both of us has a pair of dancing feet! we just love to dance... we left planet at around 2 am. When we got home, text messages begin to pour in to my mobile. Wishes from my love ones.

Fathima - Happy Birthday and many2 happy returns of the day
Shana(housemate) - heppy burfday ;>
Ita (housemate) - Happy birthday cik bedah! :-D
Shah (my bro-inlaw) - Liza, happy birthday.. semoga pnjang umur n dmurahkn rezeki.. amin
Sue - Happy bday. Moga cepat kawin
Sarah - Cik kiah.. Happy birthday...

And most importantly, My baby - Remember2 the 9th of november. its my gf's birthday! make a wish now.. & i hope its come true. Happy birthday baby. Luv ya. (owh... I just love him!)

and many other verbal wishes from my frens & family. I feel so blessed! My bf took me out that morning and gave me a dozen of lovely red rosses, a Guess travelling bag (because I travel freaking a lot these days), and lots of kisses :) hehehe.. we went to curve for lunch. later that night he took me out for dinner at Bora Asmara in Damansara. The place was lovely. And I just love being around my baby. Along with the birthday present and flower, he gave me a card with meaningful words written in it. I was flattered because not only he took the effort to decorate the card himself, but also the word he wrote in it. Here how it goes

Anyone dare to marry me??? hehehehe.. If so happens I got married in the near future, bet I'll be seeing my poor hubby only for 2 - 3 days in a month =)

Owh... btw, 2morow is the 1st Ramadhan. Wishing all you people Selamat Menjalankan Ibadah Puasa.

Pic worth a thousand words

hye people.. its been a long time.. and so many things are happening. Hmm.. let me just summarize using a few photos and a few write ups. afterall, they said a pic worth a thousand words.. so im posting my pic to save the thousands words Im supposed to write =)

** Its our 3rd anniversary.. and still counting (Sunflowers given by my laling, tq baby - 170707)

** Dun you think this burger looks funny.. or "lucah" i must say.. wonder why the mamak decided to put a dot of chilli souce in the centre bread...hmmm... (Me & Farih lepaking at mamak - 050707-)

** Da team (Gas Business Contingent)

** Jes & I - rite after practice

these pix were taken during my recent tournament held in bangi. We were the first runner up. better luck next year guys! (05-140707)

Went to MAPEX in Midvalley with my best buddy, anne. There are lots and lots of beautiful houses nowadays.. but of course with a price to pay. Price dat I dun think Im afford at the moment. But there is one appartment that caught our attention tho. And we paid a small money for booking fee. hahaha.. dis is what they called "keje gile". But am still deciding. kalau tak suka nanti, I will just ask for refund. We had laksa for lunch and later urgent to Damansara to accompany my sis and her fiance for wedding dress fitting and make up testing. I dun actually admire the dress, but the happy look on the face of the bride-to-be makes me decided to reserve my comment to myself instead. As long as they are happy.. who cares how the wedding dress looks like, rite? And my baby sister will look gorgeous in almost anything that she wear.

Later anne and I decided to hang out a little bit more with each other (hahaha.. banyak betul gossip). We went to subang parade. I baught a new book (Paradise by Judith). And later we spend most of the evening drinking twister at Dome. We spend almost 2 hours there. She sent me home after that. I left KL at around 2am. Farih is attending a wedding dinner, and since he is driving, we have no choice but to wait for him. Reached kerteh at 6am. I slept until 8am (darn... only 2 hours of sleep) and lost my concentration thru out the day. Macam high jer sepanjang hari.. weng pun ada.. hahaha... Left office immediately after work and guess what. I "passed out" starting from 6.30pm rite until 6.30am the next morning.. best giler! 12hours of sleep..

Celebration Dinner

We had a celebration dinner last 2 weeks. The objectives of the dinner, as the name indicates, is to celebrate our last years achivement. Higher profit margin (exceed KPI), zero LTI (lost time due to injury), success during plant turnaround, and others. As part of my job requirement, I have to organize this dinner. The dinner was held in two session to accommodate the huge number of staff (1,600 x 2(their spouse)=3,200..phew). It was a success I must say. The colour red has been choosen as the theme for the night. All working committee were given a "uniform" to be worn during the dinner. Guest artist for the night is heliza of AF5 and waheeda. But I hated the MC tho.. sakit nye telinga listening to her voice.. so mengada2. We paid her 4K just to hear her mispronounce all the names (speaking of professionalism), and her accent... yuck!

Anyway, here are some of the pic taken. It was me and some of the working committee.. enjoy!

**** First session (Young Professional Club members)

*** Second session ~ with other working committee

**** charlies angels la konon.. hahaha

New hobby

Im taking up a new hobby. Planting! it helps in reducing the global warming rite? As a matter of fact, I heard on the news dis morning dat the gov is launching a new campaign for all schools in Malaysia to plant at least 3 new three in their school. Last week, I bought 2 seeds, i.e, chilli and lady's finger. And also, I have given my laling a tree for him to plant. Its a sunflower tree. The reasons why I baught the tree in the first place is because of the cute packaging and the step-by-step instructions given at the back of the packaging making it so fun to try. But only later when I got home that I found out that you will have to actually close monitor the growth of the tree, and I begin to loose faith. First you'll have to plant the tree (without fail) 2 times a day for the first 2 weeks. later bila pokok tu dah tumbuh sikit, you will have to put the fertelizer. then after certain duration of time, kena ubah pasu pulak. Darn... I dun have time for that... 3 days I'll be in kerteh. Then in KL for the next 2 days... and God knows where in the next few days.... sian jer pokok tu mati kering nanti... So, all the best laling! really hope that I can see the flower blooming on day nanti =D





**** I took this picture 2 days ago while having keropok lekor and air jagung with Farih and liz at one of the stall by the beach in Paka... beautiful rite.



**** I did some beautification to my bathroom... I put some flowery tiles sticker on the bathroom tiles... cute! Now Im spending more and more time in the bathroom... hahaha

We are the champion

Last week I participated in the east cost sports carnival. I played tennis as always.. and suffered from sunburn ever since..haha... but it was all worth the suffering. My team (gas business contigent) merged overall champion.

Attended the Bakti Program in Penang. I was in the same flight with Mawi (the guy from AF) back to KL, not that it was a big deal or anything... just feel like writing it down =D but he is not bad looking if you see him in person.

I spent the night in KLIA Pan Pac and took the evening flight to kerteh the next day. Arrived kerteh around 8pm. Went to YPC (young professional club) bbq party. Ada ramai orang kat sana and suddenly I realise there ere actually quite a number of good looking-bachelor-engineer on this lonely place called kertih. hahaha. Where the hell have they been all this while? Maybe dorang stuck kat oil rig sana... or maybe working their ass off in the plant. But dun get me wrong... I’m still madly deeply in love with my baby =D But again.. sapa yang tak suka tgk benda yang cantik.. rite?

Right now my time (in the evening) is occupied with endless training and stamina building activities. This is the preparation for the coming sports carnival early next month.

My tentative schedule (I was paid to be on the road =p)

21 - 23 June : Kuching (vacation)

25 - 27 June : Crowne Plaza Hotel (Media response & Crisis Management Training)

29 - 30 June : KLIA Pan Pac (Department Away day)

4th - 15 July: Bangi (Sports Carnival)

16 - 17 July : Program Bakti Pendidikan, Penang

owh, I almost forget. My grandma's house in Tanjung Tokong was almost destroyed by fire last Saturday. If I’m not mistaken, almost 9 houses were destroyed in the unfortunate incident.

Choices and chances

When we meet the right person to love

when we're at the right place at the right time.

That's CHANCE.

When you meet someone you're attracted to,

that's not a choice.

That's CHANCE.

Being caught up in a moment

(and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this)

is not a choice.

That's also a CHANCE.

The difference is what happens afterward.

Whenwill you take that infatuation, that crush,

thatmind-blowing attraction to the next level?

That'swhen all sanity goes back,

you sit down and contemplate

whether you want to make this

into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person,

even with his faults, that's not a chance.

That's CHOICE.

When you choose to be with a person,

no matterwhat,

that's CHOICE.

Even if you know there are many people out there

who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate,

and yet, you decide to love your mate the same,

that's CHOICE.

Infatuation, crushes,attraction comes to us by CHANCE.

But true love that lasts is trulya CHOICE.

A choice that we make.

Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie

quote that I believe is so true about this :

"Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."

I do believe that soulmates do exist.

That there is truly someone made for you.

But it's still up to you to make the choice

if you're going to do something about it or not.

WE MAY MEET OUR SOULMATES BY CHANCE,

BUT... LOVING AND STAYING WITH OUR SOULMATES

IS STILL A CHOICE WE HAVE TO MAKE

weekend details

It was a long weekend for me.. It was filled with so many interesting activities. Some of the highlights..

Friday - Went to the Insurance agent to get my car insurance and roadtax renewed. Went to The curve to watch Shrek with bf. It was fantastic! Later that night, I went to UM to watch the Ochestra performance (Royal Gala) with my friends. It was my first experience and it turns out to be amazing! A few artist performed together with the UMSO (University Malaya Symphony Orchestra) like Man Kidal, Mus May, Akma AF5 and others...

*** to my horror, the agent called me that evening to inform that they are unable to renew my roadtax since I have 5 traffic summons that I failed to settle. Darn... Now I have to wait until next week bfore I can settle everything. Great!

Saturday - Attended sharn's (my housemate) wedding in Melaka together with ita, shana, and tim. She look so beautiful and radiant. Seri pengantin maybe... but she was so happy to see us came all the way from KL (kerteh to be exact) just to be with her on her big day. To sharn and the love of her life, congratulations!
Anne fetch me at home after maghrib. We went to Bangsar Village and chat while having coffee. Later we went to UKM to fetch another fren of ours (she participated in the Sukan Wanita) who came all the way from Perlis. We had dinner and a nice long conversation in Bangi. After dinner, Anne droped me in USJ and continue my "lepak" with another group of frens... Went home at around 2.30am...

Sunday - Took my two darling nephews to pyramid.. they wanted (so much) to see the shrek.. so there it goes.. I have no choice but to see the movie twice. I had fun tho. To see the happy look in their faces. We had pancakes for B'fast and later I took them for lunch after the movie.

Farih came to fetch me at home around 2pm and we had a drink in Taipan. And head off for Kerteh at around 4pm..

Owh... not forgetting... I had just celebrated my 2nd year (and still counting=) anniversary with the company on 1st June..

berbelah bahagi =(

Layar berbelok-belok

Sauh dibongkar di tempat tenang

Yang tinggal hati tak elok

Yang pergi hati tak senang

Bad luck – part I

090507- Went to kuantan for a movie with my 7 other frens. We left home at 7.30. Reached kuantan at 9. Movie ends around 11.30. And reached home again at around 1.30am. It was quite tiring but it worth since u get to spend ur time with frens and treat ur self to a good movie.
I decided to read a little until my eyes get really sleepy. It was pouring really heavily outside. Suddenly I saw water came pouring down from the wall of my room. I got panicked and quickly jump out of my bed to rescue everything that is in contact with the floor. While I was busy ferrying my stuff from room to the living hall, the situation worsen. By now, rain water came pouring down from the ceiling. And 3 minutes after that, electricity was out. Hysterically I woke up the rest of my housemates. They help to clear my room. We stood in the darkness and feet soaked in the water for the next 30 minutes trying to figure out what to do next and who to call. To our dismay, the maintenance guy told us that it is impossible for them to repair the roof in the heavy rain, leaving alone fixing the electricity up. That leaves us no choice but to get back to sleep. At 4am, I slept in the master bedroom which was least affected, while stressing my self out on all the cleaning work dat I have to do to my room… on the brighter note, at least my room was not as bad as Ita’s. Since she was on outstation, all her electrical appliances (TV, Hi-fi, radio, dvd player, astro decoder, etc) got soak in the rain water…. Poor her!

Bad luck – part 2

130507-Left KL around 10pm with ita and moon. Ita drove her car. When we reached Kuantan at around 12.30pm, she got so sleepy that she asked me to take turn to drive. So I did. I hate to recall the incident, but to save myself from recalling every detail of the unfortunate incidents; I’ll cut the long story short. I hit the plastic divider (thank God it was plastic!) on the road… two of them! I pulled the car over to the side of the road to inspect the damaged. The registration plate gone, and there’s a small dent on the front boot. Great! Just great! Just what I needed right now!

Destination - Perhentian Island, Terengganu, 270407

My new frens... we just got out from water after snorkeling. The boat man took us to 5 spots for snorkeling. Corals points, shark points, turtle points, and the last one I’m not sure what it is since I decided to stay on the boat.. Sea sick =) There are a total of 18 people in my group, only I manage to spot the shark… hahaha. The experience was priceless! The corals was beautiful.. lots and lots of colors. So do the fishes. I saw hundreds of exotic fishes with different colors. Nemo pun ada… haha. Cute!

And did I mention how lovely the sea water was? It was cold during the day and warm during the night. the water was sparkling, with the bluish and greenish in color and crystal clear. You can just look down from the boat to be able to see the corals and even fishes swimming. It was just like a huge, borderless swimming pool. I always tot dat I will have to save money so dat one day Im able to swim in those lovely, warm, clear water like the one dat I saw in the discovery channel. Places far, far away like bora-bora or miami, or australia. And those white sandy beach. It was as if someone had spread "tepung gandum" throughout the beach area. It was white, and soft... I like =D

No words can describe the experience. Its a must visit island. And I just got to find out from a fren that perhentian was ranked 6th on the most beautiful beaches on this planet! Enuf reason to put Perhentian as your next vacation destination! hehehe...

View from the restaurant... breath-taking!! we spent hours and hours here. Enjoying a hot cup of coffee, reading book, playing cards, listening to the slow song, or simply doing nothing, just gazing to the crystal clear water... time is all that we have here.

A few days spent in Kuantan

holiday villa cherating ~ say cheese!


~ Jangan Pandang Belakang

~ giler stressss.....

Phew... finally back in the office. I was in Kuantan for the last 6 days. I had 2 events running simultaneously. One in kuantan town it self, and the other one was in cherating. I’m the organizer for both events.

My time was filled with lots of work and driving (in between cherating and kuantan). I had fun tho. Especially during our free time where we get to play beach volley ball and relax at the beach area.

My housemate, sharn and ita came down to kuantan on Friday and Saturday. They took advantage to do their shopping and spend their weekends in kuantan since they get to spend the night in my room at Hyatt for free =) so the three of us cramp our self on the king bed together. On Friday night, joint by another 5 frens of ours, we had our dinner in Tanjung Lumpur. It was superb. The seafood was fresh and the price was reasonable. Later we watched the midnight movie “Jangan pandang belakang”. I was scared to the spine as the movie about to begin. I really do not fancy horror movie. But farih and poji made fun of each and every scene in the movie, so it turns out to be funny instead.

Owh.. Somebody committed suicide in one of the hotel room on my second night in Hyatt. That’s scary.. But it’s on the other wing of the hotel. In a way I feel “lega” a bit.

I lost my car key on the third day. I spent 3 hours looking for it. Ita and sharn turned the room upside down, in the hope to locate my key. I went to the parking lot to make sure that my car is still there and I told the parking attendant to report should he see anyone other then myself driving the car out since I just lost my key. On my way back to the room in order to join ita and sharn on their mission, I spoke to one of the hotel worker. He told me that on of his colleague found a car key last night in the lobby area, and he did not pass them to the front office and his night shift is over 2 hours ago. So I get him to call the guy and to cut the long story short, I got my key back.. Phew!

I’m in the office right now. Settling a few work, reading a few mails. I’m going back to kuantan 2morow. Will be there until Thursday and I’m leaving for my “pulau” vacation on Friday. Adios!

Expensive purchase of the month

Clarins RM800++

tak cantik jugak lepas nie tak tau lah... I read an article saying that women shud begin to apply anti aging product on their face once their age reach 25, before gravity takes charge =)
Terbanglah 800++ for a complete set consisting of Whitening cleanser, Whitening tonner, under-eye cream (for lines), anti-aging day cream, anti-aging night cream.


MP3 player RM160

Since the nature of my job requires me to travel frequently, meaning lots of time wasted at the airport, transit, cab, etc, I decided it would be a very wise decision for me to invest a small portion of my money for this gadget. Its not an i-pod or wat so ever. But its a decent one. With the capacity to store up to 260 songs, small and funky design, I think its worth the money.


Clothing RM500++ Shoes RM200++

Oh dear! lots of my money spent on clothing this month... and shoes. This is why, i believe, the reason I was not destined for me to be based in KLCC =)

Fainted

During my stay in the hotel for training dat I attended last week, I had food poisoning. When I woke up one morning (the last day of my 3 days stay), my stomach hurts like hell. I went to the toilet to do the "business". And the pain continued and I can't barely stand. As I walk out of the toilet to drink some water, I blacked-out. All I can remember is that when I open my eyes, Im laying on the bathroom floor, naked, and my whole body was sweating. I stayed there for a few minutes before regaining my strength to text my boss in klcc saying dat Im not feeling well and dat I will not be able to join the meeting. She replied that the meeting will be postponed till the next day since she wanted me to be part of the discussion. I took the cab home. Slept the rest of the day =( I didnt tell my mom what had happened. Just dun feel like it.

Woke up at 12. Had lunch with bf. Attended a Hi-Tea held by one of the magazine in Bangsar. I had fun. Make few new frens. The food was gud and so did the goodie bag that we received.

Me and Nurul went for an audition for one of the game show in the local TV. It was her idea. However, I did participated in the audition. It was fun even tho I fail to answer 80% of the questions asked...hehe. generally it was on general issues which Im not gud at. Gosh.. I need to read more news papers or watsoever.

I went to a 2nd hand book warehouse sale. I bought 7 story books & novel.

muse

When i left for work this morning, I saw some chaotic at the traffic light near my house. I saw a school bus stranded by the road side (at first I suspected an accident) and school children busy crossing the streets carrying their school bags. When my car stop at the red light, I manage to get the whole idea of what is really happening. The bus broke down (flat tyre or something) and 2 responsible father was busy helping the kids into their car (they cramp into the car like sardines..hehe) to help send them and make sure they get to school on time.

What amuses me was the fact that they themselves are in the rush to get on time to office (they are in shirts and tie) but still they look very calm.. and responsible. Patiently and quickly they get the kids (their kid(s) and also other kids) into their car as many as they could, and quickly send them to school. Dunno y, but I really find this as something refreshing to look at and to ponder on this morning.

flu =(

Im having a flu at the moment. Nak keje pun sgt malas.lost 2 of my most important senses for the past 5 days... the sense of smell and taste.

I've been spending so many days in KL dis few weeks with meetings and discussions. In May alone, I've taken 5 flights from Kuantan to kl.. phew! Im wondering how many points have been accumulated in my enrich card. And im sure this endless travelling somehow contributed to my sickness.

My frens and I went to the Earth, Wind & Fire concert last Friday. Im sure some of you will go "who the hell is that" when I mentioned the name of the band. Its a band that was formed way back in 1980s and with a few ass-kicking-hit-songs. I love the band. I love one of their song in particular. It is called "after the love is gone". The concert is in conjuction with F1. Many VIPs were at the concert. Agung (Tuanku Mizan), PM, Tan Sri President (of my company), Siti and her Datuk-K, and many others. Anyways, I got the tickets for free, and my frens (sarah, kadak, erin & syahril) are going. We had fun, singging, dancing.

Im leaving for KL (again) 2morow afternoon. Im having a 3 days training on customer relationship management at Berjaya Times Square (Hotel). Im so happy, this is so cool, Im so looking forward to it. A week away from office, for a training at a shopping mall... hmmmmm... I just love my work =) hehehe...

The week after next, I'll be managing an exhibition in Kuantan. so I'll be away from the office (again...hehe) for another 2 weeks. And right after dat (yes.. there's more) I'll be packing my bag, with sun-block and bathing suit for a week long holiday on an island.... hehehehe... life is wonderful anyway.

Next vacation

We are going for another vacation.. soon! Its my another favorite place on this planet. Its an island. I'll be updating the details in this blog. Im sure its going to be another valuable memory.

Safari

This lately I couldn't help but to wonder if my housing area has turn into some kind of wild life safari or what? On 2 separate occasions, snake were found in 2 houses (pic above is one of the incident). And the house is located just a few rows from my house (damnation!).Its not just a normal snake. Its a poisonous "ular tedung" (what ever it is called in English). And also not forgetting the wild boar. OMG!!!

Cite Ular

Shana : kat mane tuh ? peciter die?

Me: Ular tu masuk umah En Syed, manager KDRP (lorong 59 ke apa ntah.. tak ingat) hari Ahad minggu lepas. Dia masuk ikut sliding door... the dia melepak kat ruang tamu (saliza rasa dia nak tumpang tgk tv =p). masa dorang nampak tu, dia berdiri tegak (kat dinding). Then panggil bomba. bomba pun takut nak tangkap sebb Ular Tedung (very poisonous).. kalo Ular Sawa leh tangkap masuk zoo.. so dorang tembak jer la... sekian.
Sumber berita : di cerita secara live oleh Kak Rahila (Wife En Zul, GM
ECRO) kepada saya semasa Hi-tea di KDRP =)

Shana : Comey nyer cara bercerite, leh masuk pertandingan bercerite utk kanak2....huhu...sweet....

Yan : kata ganti nama utk binatang dia ke.hehehe
agaknya ular ni sedara ngan ular rantau bukit hr tu

Weekend in Kerteh

Spent my last weekend in kerteh. It was not bad actually since my housemate and I manage to find a few activities to do.

Friday

woke up at 9am =) went for b'fast with Tim, Ita, chura and Sharn. While having our roti canai and teh tarik, we decided to spend our friday in Kuantan. So off we go at 12pm.Had our lunch at Kenny Rogers in Megamall. I wonder if the management of Kenny Rogers implemented any Q.C for their outlets or not, but the taste of the chicken & side dishes in the Megamall outlet was yucky! Later, we did what we girls are good at, shopping! hehe.. I bought a few stuff from Body Shop (blusher, lipstick, and body butter), and vitamins from Watson. They always say that we have to look pretty from inside out right =p

We decided to watch a movie after we got all tired and exhausted. the movie called "Bridge to Terabithia". It was fun but quite drastic I must say. Especially when the girl Leslie died towards the end of the movie. It was too sudden and unacceptable. I got all depressed and emotional. On a lighter note, it was a good movie especially for kids since there are so many values (positive ones) that can be learnt from it.

At 7.30pm, we went for a walk at Teluk Chempedak. No further description required. My interest on beaches explained it all.

Had our dinner in Kemaman. Reached home around 11pm. We were tired, happy, statisfied, exhausted, all at the same time.

Saturday

Went to the office to assist on a Plant Visit. Half of my day were gone. Took a nap from 2pm to 5.30pm. Wash and vacum my car. Went for dinner with Ita, shana and sharn. Help sharn out with her hantaran (she's getting married in June). And I slept early since 2morow is a working day.

note: Communication, distance and more communication. This is what we are lacking and taking us apart...

Dr Grey

Im addicted to Grey's Anatomy right now. Its a no wonder why the series received so many awards at the Oscar. I've been watching the episodes back-to-back last night without realising it was already 3.30am. Somehow I felt there's a connection between the main cast, Dr Meredith Grey and myself. hmmm..

Several significant things happened in my life today (considering nothing more significant could ever happen to me here in Kerteh).

1) My group won the Futsal match againts Bomba Team =) and I won an Electrical Appliance.

2) My mom just called to inform me that my neighbour (who is 2 years younger then me) met with an accident and had past away a few hours ago.I remembered when we were younger (7 or 8 years old), my sister and I would go to the playground together. He is the one who thaught us how to ride the bicycle, how to skate on a roller-blade, played with us "pondok-pondok", rounders, and many more. we grew up together. It was sad, he just got married and expecting a baby anytime soon. Oh dear, this is very depressing =( I just cant hardly sleep that night

3) Did my year end Performance Evaluation (My co's is following our fianancial year Mar - Apr, instead of the normal calender year). And the feedback that I got from my superior is very encouraging:

Good in communications at all levels. Adapt easily to any working situations. Good in problem solving. Hardworking and always remembers dateline and assignments.
Highly motivated and focus driven.
Takes courage and willing to take up challenges
Very good communication and people relation skills

Has potential to be a leader
Highly confident

MIRI

I went to Miri last weekend. It was a holiday trip. Miri was amazing. the places and scenery was beautiful and amazingly clean. There is a park called "Taman Awam Miri" which I particularly amazed. It has all the facilities such as water theme park for kids (like the one in Sunway Lagoon, but in a smaller scale), BBQ pit, Picnic Area, Observation Tower, and hanging bridge. The best part is, the place are open to public daily at no entrance fee at all.

Other interesting places that I've visited are The Grand Old Lady, Petroleum Museum, Saberkas Weekend Market, Tamu Muhibah, Miri Esplanade, Asian Bridge (It cost us RM10 just to cross the bridge, but I think it is worth the money), and also the border of Brunei. Unfortunately we didn't manage to cross the border since we did not have International Passport with us.

Sunday was my sis engagement ceremony. Question of da day was "Bila Liza nak kawin???"

Ita just baught an appartment last Friday. Buying a house was like buying shoes for her. She went to look at 2 show houses, decided on one, and filled up the necessary documents for loan. The cost of the house, I was told, is RM200k ++. errmmmm...

The Worst Day of My Live =(

15 February 2007 @ 5:40pm, KM31 Karak Highway

It was like a bad dreams.. never in my life that I ever imagine to be in such a horrible and terifying experience. I thank my baby for being very supportive. I know he was really tired and all, but he was there when I need him the most. I thank my fren Ita and his daddy for taking the situation very calmly (I dunno how they actually felt inside). But above all, Im very greatfull to The Almighty for giving me the chance to see the world again..

some place I'd rather be at this moment...

Global Warning on Global Warming!!!

In case if you haven't notice, the weather has been especially warm these past few days. I read an article, or a reminder I must say, that wrote about global warming and how it had caused the ice in the artic/antartic to melt. This is scary or what? All the floods happening in Johor and Indonesia recently is a no-wonder. People (including myself) is taking the environment for granted all this while. We've been using plastic bags like no body's business. Even to purchase one bloody can drinks or bread, or toothpaste, etc, we require a plastic bag. Im sure we are capable of carrying a thing or two by hand when shopping from groceries store.Stores in Malaysia should seriously begin to consider to adopt the paper bag idea instead of plastic bags. Kudos to hypermarkets such as carrefour who already uses the bio-degradable plastic bags for their stores.

Last wednesday was my bf's 26th b'day. For the past weeks I've been cracking my head on plans to make sure that it is a special one. I asked my sister to call him up saying that she will come to his house to send a package from me. At 12.03am he came down from his house to find me instead.. hehe.. along with his b'day present. Bought him wallet from Bonia and Raoul Cuf-Link.

Took him out for a dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Another surprise for him when the waiter brought him a brownies with ice cream (yummy!) and candle. The waiter made an announcement and everyone in the restaurant sang together birthday song for my baby. And he made a wish (I wonder what it is) and blew the candle.. Asian Reforms is performing there. The band was not bad at all.. they were quite entertaining actually. In short, I was happy that all my plans were executed nicely and my bf was very delighted... at least that was what he told me.

My best fren's Wedding (Part I)

I found myself dragging my feet this morning. Adoi.. malasnye nak keje.. thinking that my frens and family on the other side of the world is enjoying their sleep in the comfort of their blanket at this hour. Its Sunday for God sake!

I have to work last weekend. Its an event with local Authorities.. Event with the Police to be exect. I shoot a real bullet from a real gun for the first time in my life. I got a 5th ranking out of 30 ladies participants. Not bad for a beginner I must say.

Got back to the hotel, I weep like a baby while on the phone with my bf.. I got so depressed for no reason. Most probably homesick. And Im missing people. My nephew, my baby... =(

Got a shocking phone call from my best fren.

Her : What if I tell you that Im getting married this year end
Me : I would say Congratulation.. Im happy for you
Her : And what If I say that Im going to be a second wife?
Me : Are you kidding me???!!!!

Blast from the Past!

Went to bank to settle all my dept. almost 60% of my salary is committed towards debt each month. Car installment, phone bill, utilities, rent, money for my mom (I have to give her extra this month since she has to pay a visit to the dentist), insurance, credit cards, and of course certain portion for saving. I can’t help but to wonder if I can afford should I decided on a house soon. Hhmmmm.. Maybe if I change to a smaller car, or maybe if I got a transfer to KL (so that I can cut some on rent and traveling expenses) or maybe when I’m married, I can share the expenses with my other half.

Left office at 6.30pm. Got home and decided to cook maggi assam laksa with tim and yan. All this while, I only had curry whenever I’m having maggi, and I never realized that assam laksa is equally tasty..

Watch the last set match between Federer and Gonzalez. Personally I think that Gonzalez played a good match given his 10th ranking against the top-ranked player. Federer no doubt played his best match almost the whole of his life. Federer won, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4, 6-4.

Had a long shower, and while applying lotion on my body, my mobile rings. It was an unfamiliar number.

Me : Hello
Him : Hi saliza. Tengah buat apa tu?
Me : May I know whose asking
Him : Tak kenal ke
Me : I wouldn’t ask if I know who you are
*I hate this. I hate people who don’t know the etiquette of phone calls*
Him : It’s Nik nazri. Still remember me?

How can I forget? I had a crush on him way back in 1998 when we were doing our pre-commerce course in Uni. Hahaha… I made a complete fool of myself back then. I spend 80% of my day talking about him, and think about him while another 20% spend dreaming about him in my sleep. We went separate ways after 6 months. I stayed in the same campus for diploma and my degree, and him.. I’m not sure. It’s a blast from the past. I feel quite uncomfortable and I dunno what to say/ask him. What do you expect; it’s been 8 years since our last conversation. He is now working with Malaysia Airport Berhad. Anyway, I’m not interested. He is just something that I had in the past. I have someone else in my life at the moment, and a future to think of.

Since it is still early, I decided to treat my self for a movie. It’s called “The Holiday” starring Cameron D, Jude Law, Jack Black, and the women who played titanic, gosh I forgot her name. Anyway, it is another romantic comedy movie. But the story line was interesting tho. I love it! Jude Law was charming in the movie. I decided to watch it again tonight =) ohh.. I just love romance..

GeNTinG

=) Spent my weekend at genting... City of Entertainment... *smiling* arghhh... I especially love cold, breezy, and place with lots and lots of lights, music, and happy people. Instantly it will bring the holiday mood in you *still smiling*

I took the Wednesday off. I went to MidValley that morning. It is interesting to go to shopping complex on a working day. It feels like the whole shopping complex were closed to public especially for you.. hehehe.. Bought a new pair of jeans from Miss Selfridge, 2 new tops from Zara, foundation and a few other not-so-important-to-mention things.

Had dinner with bf at burger king and later did some groceries for my mom at Carrefour. Bump into Nurul and her hubby. Got home early that night.

Bf came to fetch me at home the next morning at around 10am. Had our b’fast at Ravi in Bangsar. Did my treading afterwards, but the lady who did my eyebrows were sucks at it. =( Get my hair blow-dried at a near-by saloon, and off we go to Genting.

Quite a number of my friends were in this trip. Sarah, kadak, erin, syahril, farih, leez, nazril, along, aidil, and a few others. We all came here with one purpose in mind, the Boyz 2 Men concert… yey! I was really excited, and so do my bf (not so much b’coz he is the die hard fan of the band, but b’coz this is his first time attending a concert.. hehe.. cute!) The concert was really great. It was amazing how they manage to get the crowd alive even though it was only the three of them performing on the stage. No backups, no dancers, no bands. Their evergreen hits such as Water runs dry, 4 seasons of loneliness, end of the road, kept most of the audience entertained and on their foot. I was sad tho since I did not manage to get my hand on one of the roses that they gave to audience while performing one of their no 1 hit, “’I’ll make love to you”. Only those who sit in the VIP seats (right in front of the stage got it =(
Above all, it was a really fun an relaxing weekend for me..

SUCKS

People always say that it is not easy to engage in a long distance relationship. It has to endure the test of time, and distance. But I try to work it out. Lots of sacrifices made. I have to face the entire journey from kerteh back to KL every single weekend just to make up all the weekdays that I missed spending with the person that I love. 4 hours journey x 2 x 4weeks in a month x 52 weeks in a month. You do the math. To top this is the money that I spend while driving back/ car pooling. Money spent on phone bills just to make sure that he is not lonely, and just to make sure that we are kept updated about what is happening to each other. Sure there are always cheaper alternatives to resort to. Like the convenience of e-mail. But all I get from e-mail is how are you? Have you taken your b’fast? What are you having for lunch? I love you, and I miss you. I need more! I need to know what is happening to him. Like all the job interviews he is attending, the friend that he is having a disagreement with, planning that he is making for his future, the projects that he is currently doing in the office, the new phone he is planning on buying, year end bonus that he got (not that I’m going to talk him into buying me new things). I’m really depressed =( I’m having a second thought. Is it him? Or is it just me. He is not comfortable with sharing all this intimate information with me. I’m sick of reading all the books on relationship just to make sure that this relationship will work out. It just doesn’t. Given the distance between him and me, all that is left for us is communication and sharing. But I’m not getting any of it.

I went to work for about 2 hours. I’m not feeling well. Soar throat, runny nose, and fever. Went to see the doctor and I got Medical Leave. Stayed at home the whole day. I don’t have anything in the cabinet that can be cooked easily and fast. So I just had 2 slices of bread and jem.

I went for tennis practice in the evening. In fact, it is a qualifying match for the coming Sports Carnival. My performance sucks! The girl that is playing against me was really good. I’m disappointed in myself. I’m sucks.

Finished my match at 7.30. Got home and found out that my toe is bleeding. It hurts. I can barely stand properly. Let alone perform my prayer properly. I’m having difficulties to sleep. It sucks!

New Place.. Again!

16/02/07 @ 5:30pm

Received a call from my boss in KL this evening. Here how the conversation goes:

Her : You know that Ibrahim is retiring this year right? So I was thinking of putting Thava in his place. That leaves thava’s place vacant in Segamat. Would you like to be transferred?

Me : Errr… Actually I like my work here. But it’s almost 2 years now. And work seems to be routine and repeating. I like to venture into something new. But I dunno if Im ready for a transfer.

Her : Thava’s job right now requires a lot of traveling. You’ll be overlooking a total of 11 regional offices. But I thing you have the quality. You have the people quality and you are assertive.

Me : You know what is best for the department. If you think me moving to segamat would be the best. Then to segamat it is….

[oh dear!]

To LoVe is tO LeT gO

Have you ever heard of the saying that goes something like this; “to love is to let go”. Let’s just say that I never bought it. If you are willing to let someone go, it simply means that you don’t love him/her. I’m sure you will hold on tight to something/someone that you really love, come what may, right? The phrase just doesn’t make sense to me. But it was only before. Before I found the man that I truly love.

But now, I’ve found the love of my life. I love him so much. Sometimes I cry my self to sleep thinking how much I love him. I never know that it hurts really bad to love someone so deep. Every night I’m wondering if I have done enough for him. Did he know how much I am in love with him? Did I ever hurt his feeling? Have I done enough to make him happy? Is there anything else that other women in the world did for their man that I’m not doing for him? Am I beautiful enough for him? I’d do anything just to make him happy.

But again, I didn’t know if he is meant for me. Maybe he is my destiny. Maybe God brings him to me because we are meant to be together. Or maybe it’s the other way around. I’m just hoping and praying really hard, Dear Allah, please let it be him. I don’t have the guts to tell him this, but I really want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know that I can make him happy. I know I’ll be happy with him.

If you love someone, set him free. If he comes back to you, he is yours… forever!

Harus selalu kau tahu
Ku mencinta mu di sepanjang waktu ku
Harus selalu kau tahu
Semua abadi untuk selamanya

Kerana ku yakin
Cinta dalam hatiku
Hanya milikmu sampai akhir hidupku
Kerana ku yakin
Disetiap hembus nafasku
Hanya dirimu satu yang selalu ku rindu

Resolution

Friday, 29 December 2006

Im at my mom’s place. This is the last week in 2006. Oh dear.. 2006 has been though on me. I’m hoping, real hard, that 2007 will bring me all the good things. Can’t help but to wonder what I’ll be doing, and where will I be this very same time next year. 30th December 2007. Maybe Im happily married, maybe started my own business, maybe reading novel or watching tv in the comfort of my own house, with the person that I love, or maybe just the same me. Same hairstyle, same status, same negative habits, same old, same old… Read my horoscope on the magazine and also in the news paper. In a glance, grass is greener on 2007 for scorpions. *finger cross

My baby is taking the Friday off. Im happy =) we start the day with roti canai and tarik. Later, from sogo to sg wang and finally O-utama, we call the day off at 10.30. phew…. But again… to be able to spend the day with him… simply delighting. Enjoyed every second of it.

Saddam Hussein served his punishment today. I got depressed watching it on the news =(

Its Raya Haji eve. Muslims all around the world will be celebrating it 2morow (maybe a day earlier in some other parts in the world). Planned to perform prayer with my baby in Putrajaya Mosque. That is if we got up early, considering it is already 1.53am, and Im wide awake in my room typing this entry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Part of the fun of celebrating New Year is in making resolution. Making it is easy, but the tricky part is in the execution. I started to have my own new year’s resolution when I was in the university. Simple resolutions such as making sure that I pass all my papers, to have bf (hey, it’s my resolution… so I can decide on any, even though it may sound stupid to most of you), to loose a few pounds, etc. Let’s just say that I manage to execute most of it.

So for this New Year, I decided on a few realistic, attainable, and measurable resolutions:

To do:

1) Spend more time reading
2) Spend certain portion of my money for charity
3) To own a house.. my own house
4) To spend more time visiting my dad
5) To improve my self spiritually
6) To make sure that I discipline myself in performing prayer
7) Eat healthily
8) Eat less chocolate (oh dear! This is going to be the toughest)
9) And if it is not too much for me to ask… to improve my personal status (financially, friendship, or even get married.. maybe)

InsyaAllah…

Not to do:

1) Waste money on shoes
2) Shopping without planning
3) Buy things that I don’t actually need
4) Have negative perception, attitude, etc

Flat tyre

Today is my first day working in the new year. I woke up early as I want to start the new year in every positive way as possible. I left the engine of my car running for few minutes (to wartm up the engine) since I've left it unused for 5 days during the public holiday. When I'm all set to leave for work, I noticed that one of my tyre is flat. Argh... the first obstacle in this very new year. Since "positive thinking" is listed as one of my new-years resolution, I try to solve it calmly. The problem is:

1) The tyre is TOTALLY flat
2) My car is blocking my housemates car, so I have no choice but to move it to another place
3) Im not sure if I can still drive it to another spot fearing that it will cause damage to the rim
4) I dunno how to change the tyre to a new one
5) Am not sure if I have a spare tyre. Even if I do have one, I dunno where it is
6) Same issue with the car-jack. Am not sure if I have one, and Im not sure in which part of the car it's been stored.
7) I dunno what to do first, giving this situation. i.e flat tyre.

So I took the phone and dialled my baby. No answer. I dialled Mazran. I told him everything. He asked me to release the hand break and to push the car slowly instead of driving it (hhhmmm... wonder why I did not think of this in the first place). And he said that he will help me change the tyre after work. =) told you it pays to stay positive.. hehe

Left for work with ita... at office, everyone shows how concern they are with my problem. One of my staff offered to attend to it. At 1 pm, everything was settled. They went to my house, jacked the car, took the flat tyre to the shop, had it patched, and fixed it back to my car. Phew!

Bought him a swiss roll cake as a token of appreciation. Pay him back the RM5 for the cost of patching (yes, its just RM5). And I made a vow to help people in need (within my capacity), so that in future, should I be in need again, a helping hand will be extended to me.
