Today is a GIFT, that's why it's called a PRESENT

2009-12-07T22:14:00.004+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Monday as usual and Fir followed me to attend the same training that i have to co-conduct.

It was a smooth ride..

The training went smoothly.

Apsal cam bosan je eh citer aku today? Hmm..takde mood?

ER sms-ed me in the late afternoon, saying that he's gonna extend his stay in Bali. Jealous betul.

But guess what? Dia tipu ja...cilakak! :-)

He's actually on his way back home from work and planning to meet me for dinner tonite, at our usual place.

Cut it short, he brought something for me from Bali. For my new house katanya..Thanks so much!

P/S: Ada rezeki, aku akan ke Bali. Btw, ujan2 nih layan SATC best!

Mixed Feelings on Sunday

2009-12-06T20:17:00.001+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Hope everything's ok so far with you guys, especially on Sunday.

Me? Well...I can say, it's a mixed feelings.

Sad. Angry. Happy. Excited. Macam2 ada!

Ntahlaa, but i am still sane...that's all I can say :-)

I met my ID friend and Fakh at Wangsa Walk for lunch, nearly left for KLCC (but it was damn packed, thanks to the PC Fair, held in KL Convention Centre since Friday). So we met at Subway, didn't really talk about the ID though and I had good company (at least, something to "kill" my boredom on Sunday noon!). Mr ID gave me that red ribbon, as he just came back from the event.

Hey...wait a minute! Ermm..u wannaknow what we talked about? Ermm..it's about relationship again, and yes, the existence of "mak esah".. No! No! No! We are not saying that we used "mak esah", but that's the reality. Reality bites eh? People will do anything to get accepted. To get notice.

Everything. Even the pretty and the better ones also do this.

So what do we really wants actually? Acceptance? Appreciation? or L.O.V.E?

It's tough. World's getting tougher today.

Note: I won't be involved with this "mak esah" activities. Never.!

I left Wangsa Walk about 4p.m. and headed home. Chill. Resting.

And all of a sudden, got sms from Herry (ignore the dialects, if u don't understand, let it be ya?)

Herry: Duk mano? Kijo ko? (Why he asked me whether I was at work or not? Yes, sometimes I do have to work during weekends but not anymore, sad eh?)

Me: Drumah

Herry: Ingat ko mung kijo. Aku pening laa bro...aku balik kijo saknih abah & ma baloh. Serabut arrr...

Speechless. Aku kaget. Apasal pulak ni...

Me: Bakpo pulok?

There goes. Herry told me this and that. Aku kaget again. And I feel bad. And I feel queasy.

Hope everything's ok.

Only me & Herry knows. And GOD, of course..

*Sad*

World Cup 2010

2009-12-06T10:46:00.005+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Yes, it's the time again. Some people are that fanatic.

Some people are just mediocre.

Some people are just...not really into that.

Me? I can say, I do like it but not that fanatic, not the extent that i have to skip work and staying up late in the wee hours.

People all over the world are getting excited over this. And, with all that qualifiers and also the grouping finalised yesterday, i think it'll be quite fun games to watch, indeed.

Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France (My verdict: South Africa & France, but don't underestimate of the "ponchos" power of Mexico

Group B: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece (My verdict: With Messi in the Argentine's team, i think it's quite easy for Argentina. It can be between Argentina and Nigeria / South Korea)

Group C: England, USA, Algeria and Slovenia (My verdict: Easy peasy for England! England against Slovenia)

Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana (My verdict: Achtung! to the rest..."kacang" for Germany, probably againts Ghana or probably Serbia?)

Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon (My verdict: Tough group though...although I think Japan might make a comeback, or else, the team will secure the 4th place in this Group! It's Netherlands and Denmark again...)

Group F: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia (My verdict: It goes to the hot Italians against the Paraguay)

Group G: Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal (My verdict: Crystal as clear, it's Brazil and Portugal to qualify further..Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, bla bla bla..)

Group H: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile (My verdict: Spain at the top of the class, against Chile probably...)

Overall verdict: Germany against England, Brazil vs Spain for the semi final qualifiers! Final? Tak berani cakap lagik! Heheh

Thank God..it's the weekend!

2009-12-05T21:27:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Phew, it's weekend. Alhamdulillah. Been in quite a hectic and stressful week (i am talking about last week)

Let's look what i've done since Friday!

Friday:

a) Meeting with that potential consultant(s). Hahaha..that person is gorgeous! I wish..and I wish...and I wish.

But well (boleh berangan je kut?) Tak salah kan since I am not attached..

b) Dinner & discussion with Kos @ San Fran. He brought his assistant. Another gorgeous person! Makhluk tuhan..subhanAllah! ;-) Oh, Kos did offer me another job with another friend. Shall i try? Apa salahnya test market kan? hahaha

P/S: Balik umah..berangan je la (but slept really really early!)

Saturday:

a) All of sudden Fros asked for my help. Yeah, he attended the interview with Tengku Farith. It was quite an experience. I wish him all the best, and I think he'll get the job. InsyAllah. While waiting for the time, we had a short "de-briefing" at Coffee Beans.

b) All of a sudden, tak penah2 aku terserempak ngan cousin aku kat mamak. So aku tegur je laa dia..

I rarely meet my family members in KL (most of my family members in my hometown though!)

c) Oh...the internet was really sucks since morning. Malam baru OK, so now bleh laa update blog..hahah

P/S/S: Aku dapat tahu dia akan kawin soon. Errm...really unexpected!

Time to layan SATC again..

Tetiba..

2009-12-03T21:20:00.001+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Tetiba aku nak nangis.
Tetiba aku rasa mcm..

Nur Kasih

2009-12-03T19:32:00.006+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Citer nih dah lama. Tapi ntah laa..dulu aku tak layan sangat, probably pasal aku jarang tgk TV/drama malam2.

But now..

Adus!! citer nih memang best.

Nak kata aku "gila/kemaruk" sangat tgk drama nih, takde laa...but i dunno, there's something special about the drama..

Adakah sebab...

Aidil? Nur? Adam? Sarah? or Katrina? hhaha!! Go Figure!

P/S: No wonder laa ramai yg suka tgk citer nih..hehe. Sorry aku lembab skit bab2 nih..

Sabarlah Sayang..

2009-12-03T18:17:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Pagi2 lagi aku kuar, left home at 0630 hours as I have to attend an "early morning session" in Putrajaya.

And guess what? It was raining heavily, cats and dogs indeed!

And of course, due to weather, I couldn't really speed up..biar lambat asal selamat kan?

Two things happened to me this morning:

a) I was supposed to leave for Bali at 1355 hours but due to that "work commitment", i have to cancel the trip!

Ended up ER went there, all by himself as Fen and H couldn't make it as well.

Pity ER! But I am sure, he'll be fine there..(beb, jangan lupa souvenir kat cheq!)

b) I didn't pass my assessment. Another blessing again..*sigh*. Fullstop.

P/S: Sabarlah Sayang!

Ambition(s), Dream(s) and Reality (yikes!)

2009-11-29T20:33:00.004+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

I didn't really "write" during my day off at home recently. Probably because I wasn't really in the mood.

Or probably because i forgot my cable to transfer the pics (hahah...alasan!)

Now let's change topic (why all of sudden?) hehe!

Anyway, i know that each and everyone of us have our own dream(s) and ambition(s).

Aku pun masa kecik cam tuh gak...nak jadi lawyer laa, this and that (errmm..heheh!)

There were too many ambitions. There were too many dreams.

But there's nothing wrong with that kan? There's no harm dreaming.

And i do support whoever wants to dream. Let's be creative shall we?

Including my 2nd niece, (the pictures tell thousand words!)

Mula2 aku cam nak gelak (note: aku tak curi2 baca her diary, kebetulan her notebook was on the table while I visited my sis' house i.e. her mum). But she's being real, and I have got nothing against her dreams...

"You go, girl!"

P/S: Salah tak kalau nak berangan cam pic kat atas? hehehe

It's ID time again!

2009-11-29T20:17:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

I safely arrived in KL right at 12 noon, right on the spot. The journey went smoothly and thank God the weather was so nice, bright and sunny for the past few days in KB during Eid-ul-Adha. It was such a blessing, Alhamdulillah.

Things went smoothly as well, went to the bank to finalise few things and had lunch at San Fran (again!). I should have "tapao-ed" mum's cooking - i.e. daging goreng :-(

While chillin' at home, I got the sms from Mr ID:

Mr ID: Jumpa ptg nih kalu nak...

Me: Fine with me. Mana?

Mr ID: Wangsa Maju...5 pm?

Me: Wangsa Maju which part? Near Carrefour? NZ ke apa ke...fine with me

Mr ID: NZ yg atas...ok ka?

Me: Ok then. C u there at 5 pm.

Then I met him at the place. The beats were there (you know what i meant here, hehe!). Dah lama dah aku tak ke NZ. (as if i frequently visited the place before, haha!)

Cut it short, he showed me the design. Yes! I like the kitchen. It's sleek, elegant yet simple. But being Malay (ye ke?) I have to be very practical..

Since I have not received the keys yet, I can only "dream, imagine and fantasize" on how the final product will look like.

I trust him.

So let the expert do their jobs (although I do have the final say..heheh!)

Can't wait!

P/S: The view of Seri Maya (i nearly bought that, but ada hikmah jugak aku tak beli...heheh!)

The Morning of Eidul-Adha @ Home

2009-11-27T11:17:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

I haven't had much idea on what to talk about today. It's the morning of the eid, and things were normal.

Just a few updates:
a) Met Faiz for drinks @ nearby kopitiam near my house last night. He's cuter than before (probably with because of the kopiah i guess? hehehehe)
b) Safely arrived at home yesterday noon. Yeah, it happened to me again. The hospitality services here are slow (my true experience, before and yesterday when queueing for food at one of the fastfood outlets! Adus...bila nak improve!)
c) Received good news from my agent during my afternoon siesta at home! (yeah...i am dreaming now...to do this and that!)
d) Good weather in KB (i feel blessed...) Alhamdulillah

P/S: So far so good, unfortunately I forgot to bring my mobile cable, so I couldn't really transfer any interesting piccies that I have snapped! Sabar ya.. As a result, no pics in postings made while I am in KB *sad*

Raya Haji...

2009-11-24T17:43:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

I am leaving for KB on Thursday.

Thank God the raya falls on Friday, so another long weekend!

Selamat Hari Raya Haji, Selamat BerQurban...

P/S: Ingat lagi last year...Raya Haji was on Wednesday (right smack in the middle of the week!), so i didn't go back to my hometown and celebrated in KL instead..

Separuh Jiwaku Pergi..

2009-11-23T22:48:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Separuh Jiwaku Pergi
Memang indah semua
Tapi berakhir luka
Kau main hati dengan sadarmu
Kau tinggal aku

Reff:Benar ku mencintaimu
Tapi tak begini
Kau khianati hati ini
Kau curangi aku

Kau bilang tak pernah bahagia
Selama dengan akuItu ucap bibirmu
Kau dustakan semua
Yang kita bina
Kau hancurkan semua

Back to Reff
Benar ku mencintaimu
Tapi tak begini
Kau khianati
Kau curangi aku
Kau dustai hati
Benar ku mencintaimu

Quality! Quality! Quality!

2009-11-22T18:10:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Sometimes I wonder, how to get a quality outing / day out. It's easy actually.
If you are alone, you have to do something that you like most.
If you are with your company / friends, get the quality ones.

Easy huh?
That's why I do appreciate my quality time with quality friends. Quality company.

But it might be easier said that done huh?

Anyway, me, Fakh and another new ID friend of mine (i guess!) met at San Francisco Coffee @ Ampang Point to discuss on the ID of my new house (InsyaAllah). It was quite fruitful, and I think I can trust this ID guy.
And hope that it can turn out to be superb. Can't wait for it to be materialised, amin!

And yes, another topic of discussion - Relationship. I don't know... For me, I think whatever that we've discussed during our so called brunch was totally relevant and informative indeed. I do have my share, and yes, both of them are more experienced and it's very stimulating indeed.

Feel like being in one of the SATC scenes (haha...bukan berangan, but it's the reality!) Had lunch @ Tarbush, and yes, i did enjoy their company..

Thank God and I really really appreciate that.

P/S: Tetiba aku teringat kat dia.But well...life must goes on!

Sabtu

2009-11-21T23:30:00.005+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Went out with Fakh for that "electrical healing treatment" at The Weld in the afternoon. He recommended me to join and i think it's quite a thrill, at first.

Imagine when u touch that fluorescent bulb and taraaaaaaaaaaa....lampu tuh nyala!

It's all because, in our body, when connected to that electrical thingy (i don't know what it's called), there are thousands of electric transmissions within the body.

But i think, this is not really my thing, although I know it does work for our health! Fakh has used this treatment for 6th time already.

Anyway, after that treatment, i had that makan petang with Fakh and now I know more about Fakh. I do agree with you, life is unfair sometimes for "angels" :-)

P/S: Congrats to Nicole, the winner of ANTM 13. The best winner so far of all the ANTM History!

Cauntion?!

2009-11-21T07:51:00.005+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

I was away from the city for a couple of days for work related activities. It was OK (something different) to be away from the city, once a while..

And rarely we see sun shines since these few days, and it's a rainy day everyday, be it in KL or other places, especially in my hometown.

But anyway, while being outstation, I saw this particular signage (it's kind of funny!) but the intention is good, to prevent any hazards at the workplace (the owner of the premise might be responsible should there be any accident occurs at their workplace, in a way!).

Let's see...

Meanwhile, other friends were also away from office, lucky them to have the opportunity to be in places far away from Malaysia. Both Kam and Kak Sha went to Muscat, Oman and Tokyo, Japan respectively.

And here are what I got from them, ha! ha! :-)

P/S: Ujan2 nih nak buat apa eh? Duk umah je la...

"Oh my Gucci!", I Love it!

2009-11-16T21:35:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Love it, love it, love it!

Sunday morning, while chillin' at home, all of a sudden I told McDa via YM

Me: Jom tgk Pisau Cukur!
McDa: Jom!

It's worth it, seriously. I might sound a bit exaggerating (probably because Faz & Maya are my favourite actresses, kut?). The scripts were so damn cool and funny (i know dah banyak jadi trend / ikutan, such as):

"Hello, Hello, Hello!"
"Panas!"
" oh my *brand name*!" (Please fill in accordingly!)

Once dah ada DVD version, i might grab it! Hehehe

Right after the movie, I still have time to shop, tarrraaa!! Another pair, teruk kan? :-)

P/S: Busy week ahead, sigh!

2012

2009-11-15T10:39:00.005+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,
Last night, me, Fakh and his nephew went to the nearby cinema to watch the movie 2012 and as expected, it's full with all these moviegoers and the queue was bloody long (thank God I managed to get the ticket earlier..)

What do I think of this particular movie?

a) Typical "doomsday" movie, but with better effects

b) The main actor is such a "superhero" (he's too "powerful" I guess? Illogical! He should have "died" earlier)

c) Scary...(in it's own, unique way!)

d) An infinite list of messages (family values, being nice to each other, and of course, religions bring the same universal concept..)

Overall Rating : 4 stars out of 5 (thanks to the effects)

P/S: I won't elaborate further, afraid that those who haven't watched the movie will be pissed off! :-)

My weekend

2009-11-15T10:08:00.004+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Yes, it's been a while. Thanks to my tight schedule (and also to the fatigue and my laziness!)
For the past few days in the week, there were nothing much other then running here and there at work and also being scolded "sarcastically" by my boss. And yes, it was quite a challenge!

In return, I told myself that this time, it's the pampering time. Haven't done this for quite a while. I was supposed to go for a movie with Fen on Friday nite to watch 2012 but I didn't manage to get the tickets for us (and the queue was long and I was also didn't manage to buy it via online)

On Saturday morning, I met Zain PP for breakfast as he wanted to get the camera that he wanted to borrow and bring along to Langkawi (a trip with the other half, lucky!). We went to the nearby new mamak place, it's kinda cosy (probably because it's new?)

Pics, from top to bottom: Teh Tarik and my usual Saturday newspaper, Pena's Ice Lemon Tea (Pagi2 minum ais ke? Hehehe), My Roti Canai Telur

And later, I text-ed Fakh and asked whether he got any plan(s) for today. Cut it short, we planned to go for a movie (and of course, the ever popular movie this month, 2012). Although we planned to watch it later that night, I went to the nearby cinema (and yes, the queue was bloody bloody long and thank God I managed to get the tickets without having to gamble and queue again before the showing time!)

I shot to Pavillion a while later to kill the time, and as expected, I splurged myself with my wish list, as always (shown in the pics below):

a) Christmas @ Pavillion
b) GAP stuff (with the free vouchers..)
c) Shoes, of course :-)
d) Peaceful lunch @ DOME

And today's (at this point of writing), I just had my breakfast at the same mamak where i had it yesterday with Zain PP. Another lazy Sunday I guess...

And that's all folks. What should I do today eh?

P/S : I missed the old days...

Sate Kijang Waktu Ujan...

2009-11-07T23:48:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers..

Sah2 makan sate kijang dlm ujan2 lebat/renyai2 cam nih..:-(

P/S: Kelate kaloh teruk, 3-1

Rusa atau Kijang?

2009-11-07T07:18:00.004+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

It's obvious.

And i know my fellow countrymen will be gathered in the stadium (including my lil' brother and my bro-in-law!) in the spirit of togetherness and strong sense of brotherhood.

Me? Of course i'm in the "kijang" side..but I won't be one of them who will flood and congregate in Bukit Jalil :-)

Kalau kijang kalah, alamatnya makan daging kijang laa...or vice versa :-)

Harap2 dapat makan daging rusa! (Although me doesn't like rusa though...but have tried once!)

P/S: Suka org2 kijang..:-) Tapi...

Tak jadi..

2009-11-03T22:11:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Aku tak jadi ke Bali this coming December due to some last minute work commitments.

Sorry ER. Sorry Fen.
I am so bloody sorry!

P/S: Ended up with 15 more days of annual leave, camana aku nak habiskan?!

Days in Penang

2009-11-03T21:55:00.002+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

Sorry for the long silence.
Busy. Too many things to be cleared this week and since past few days.

Anyway, i spent the last weekend with my ex-colleagues in Penang. We had fun and of course, with those nice ex-colleagues i definitely enjoyed myself. A different kind of environment, I think..

On Saturday night, we went to the newly opened Hard Rock Hotel in Batu Feringghi, Penang.
Thought of having dinner at the cafe, but there were so many people and it wasn't worth waiting...:-)

P/S: Stayed at G Hotel and sempat layan SATC via iPod :-)

SATC

2009-10-25T22:28:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful readers,

I have seen the movie.

And yes, of course, one of the big fans of the series.

The best part in the movie that I like most was when Miranda called Carrie (who was sleeping at that time) while people are partying on the New Year's Eve. And both of them were alone at home.

While Miranda at home (counting down, alone), it's such a sweet gesture from Carrie to come over to Miranda's house.

That's what a friend is for, kan?

SB3

2009-10-25T08:07:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

Saturday nite. At home again.

And it's TV time (eh...i am not a couch potato ok? Heheh)

Flipping thru' the channels, yes, it's the Sehati Berdansa Season 3. Well..it's too early to judge but it does look like the participants are more "hip" as compared to those in previous seasons (not saying that those participants in previous seasons are not hip enough, but the first impressions count!)

My vote? Hmm...i like Sazzy & Naz and Didie & Isham. Dira? Heheh...I only like her style, she's hip!. The rest...i would like to reserve my comments. Sein? Of course, from my first impression, he'll the best male dancer (as compared to the rest).

Isma & Zul? (Ermm...thanks to sms kut? NO offence to their fans...but...ermm...i shall rather not say it here! haha)

Enot? Yeah...u go girl!

The rest i think...well, this show is similar to popularity contest (well in Malaysia lah!). So u know what I am going to say kan? hehehe

But i'm not the judge anyway..so let the people decide..:-)

What Say You?

2009-10-25T07:44:00.003+08:00

Dear Beautiful Readers,

This particular posting might not be that "hot from the oven" as it was already been the talking points for most people since Friday night. But whatever it is, I would like to jot down my own opinion on this particular issue.

For the past few years, this thing has become my "bread and butter" as my boss would ask me to arrange a session - i.e. "let's-sit-in front of-the TV" kinda thing and watch the budget commentary. And of course, I was the one who had to do the summary report, right after the PM (at that point of time) finished the speech, sent the summary to my ex-boss and other bosses (although it did look useless as for sure the next day news would do the full coverage, but I took it as a learning step --> chewah!)

Enough on that..what do you think about this year's budget?

1) Income Tax - Reduction from 27% to 26% for income above RM 100,000 (Ermm...i don't it covers the majority of Malaysians as "not many" Malaysians earn more than RM 100k per year! Including me!)

2) Tax Incentive @ Iskandar Malaysia (Errr...shall we go and find job there then? :-))

3) Tax relief for broadband subscription of up to RM 500 (Not bad eh..kena simpan receipt betul2 nih!)

4) RM 1 billion - enhance the efficiency of police force. (Err...hopefully there will be improvement!)

5) 1st class students' National Higher Education Corporation loans will get their loan converted into scholarships (ermm..this should have been done earlier ago. Many major corporations who sponsored students had done this conversion thingy since 10 years back, if i may recall during my yesteryears!)

6) Personal relief - increased from RM 8k to RM9k (I don't think it's still sufficient, but better than nothing!)

7) EPF & Insurance relief - from RM 6k to RM 7k (also not enough...ermm, but again, better than nothing!)

To name a few..

But overall, I guess the Government has done their best (and the people in EPU as well..)

Let's see...what's the impact like eh?
