some times off

2012-01-06T18:39:00.008+08:00

hello all! i just got back from my lovely hometown after 4 days being pampered with my grandparents. 4 days is totally not enough! have to go back anyway because i hadn't find the route (bus number etc) for my new workplace yet. yes, you heard me. new workplace! they also quite sad especially my grandma because she wanted to cook more for me. awww.. (shedding tears). 4 days with them is awesome since i love spending my time at my hometown. i love the environment, love the people. far far away from chaotic city life, fresh air and calming soothing surrounding. since Ombak Rindu is a hit movie recently, my grandma wanted me to purchase them on Astro First. ahaha, layan juga :P while my atuk, on my second day staying there requested me to cook lasagne for him. gave some to the neighbour and received a compliment on that. hihi. (bangga diri).

and....i also cut my hair short!!!!! yes. after two years of keeping it long. too long i might say. i wanted to do a wavy curl actually, that's why i kept it long. but a stupid person that doesn't-know-neither-english-0r-malay do it wrong in October and making my hair badly damaged afterwards! yes, it is sad to watch your hair fall on the floor :(

my new look. i look like a student rather than a career person am i?

as for today, like i mentioned in previous paragraph, i went to experience the route and familiarizing myself with the bus system in Subang Jaya. well, to be exact, from Sunway Pyramid to Taipan. the journey is quite ok, a lot of buses are available. but, it is not on the way back!! there's a bus stop there at Taipan and i sat there for an hour and no single buses took that way!!! so, what's the purpose of bus stop idiot??? i gave up waiting or searching for other bus stop as i hadn't had my breakfast yet that time (because i want to eat Pyramid's kebab later..hihih) and took a taxi instead. and the taxi driver told me, "dah ramai terkena dik kat situ. nama je bus stop tapi bas memang tak lalu situ. adik kena jalan depan sikit". pfftt. so, i burned a hole in my pocket amounted RM8.00 for the taxi ride T_T

yes.. i want to support government suggestion to take up public transport but how can i when the system itself is not systematic? :( but still, i need to rely on them as i don't have my own transportation. when i got this job, my family already bising at me to SERIOUSLY completing my driving license. yes, i have an L, but i guess it's already expired by now. HAHAA. i want to wait for the driving license for automatic car to be introduced soon. *excuse*

Happy 2012

2012-01-01T12:08:00.002+08:00

happy new year everyone! i've been away for too long from this blog. i know. as cliche as it may sound, i've been busy busy busy as a bee. it's a lame excuse but that's what it is!

i'm in the middle of busying myself juggling between life, work, life & work. so many things I planned for 2012. so, i must act faster to make sure everything I've planned will fall into its own pieces when the time comes.

2011 has been kind to me. many bittersweet memories which shall be put behind and learned from it to make 2012 better ahead. too many lessons learned, some new things I've been through and some new faces I met. I really hope 2012 would be the kick start for my career life. I hope this is the right one for me. I'm tired searching for the best and quiting from what I've already done halfway. So, this new one better be good and the surrounding should be kind to me. So many hopes right? Hee

last but not least, Happy New Year! *though i'm not excited at all. it just another day passed isn't it?*

another friend's wedding

2011-11-20T18:20:00.010+08:00

school holiday is here again!! not i'm celebrating or having holiday anyway :P but, as usual, school holiday, end of the year, meaning there are wedding event everywhere! today, we went to Mia's wedding in Bandar Manjalara, Kepong. Mia is actually bb's friend at Astro, after she quits there, she joined CIMB and become my friend too. life is a circle right? talk less, let's see pictures! as usual, wedding is a perfect place for reunion. so, here i am, reunited with my CIMB colleagues. how i miss them. too bad, not all of my team from CIMB were there :(

M, fara and i: my pretty friends

bb and i, with the newlyweds! *ambil berkat*

some sneak peek at the wedding.

i love the food (well, bb loves them more as he ate twice! -_-), too bad yesterday i just tightening my braces, so, i ate less :( i really really really love the dais. so pretty...i want one too!! the event also neat and not too crowded. decorations are simple yet comfortable. it's a beautiful wedding i must say. well, why am i making so many comments? i'm just observing and getting some ideas for my own later :P i do this at other weddings too these days lol.

we went home quite late because bb wants to wait for his Astro friends. i told you, when there is wedding, there's a reunion too. my CIMB friends came earlier while Astro friends came later. so, we have to wait there about 2 hours. first hour to spend with CIMB people and another hour for Astro gangs :P went home about 3.30pm like that!

to newlyweds, congratulations. you guys look stunningly beautiful today and i can see beautiful babies coming up soon! cheers!

Sparkling Apple is back!

2011-10-28T22:33:00.003+08:00

sparkling apple edt is finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just got back from Subang Parade. as The Body Shop member, i already received their notification message informing that they'll be having a sale until 30th October. but, i can't bring myself to any of their outlet because i am broke! however, today i just can't resist myself from buying this. i really love love love this sparkling apple smell. i love it like when i had my showered, i sprayed some. when i feel depressed, i open the cap and smell them.

they haven't got this for awhile. been searching for it at different stores but they said it's already out of stock. it's about more than a year i think of my effort trying to get these. finally, tonight, i found them!!!!! although i don't have money, still i bought 2 bottles, with 30% off. i already planned i wanted to buy about 3-4 bottles to make stock but, i have to budget and limit my spending :( 2 bottles are enough for me, well, for now. i hope they still have this when i get my next salary!

hurmm....do i smell like apples? :P

rain & cold

2011-10-26T21:29:00.000+08:00

it's raining and i'm craving for this. anyone care to buy one? pretty please?? hihi

evening love

2011-10-25T21:14:00.003+08:00

blissful evening. off working hours.

crappy crap

2011-10-24T20:39:00.006+08:00

welcome to my weekly update! hihi. well.........these days my life is quite errmm...i won't say miserable, but maybe a little bit disorganize? i'm still adjusting myself to suit with new routine. new work is so challenging. too heavy and burdening but good thing is, you have to work with your own pace. no more KPI yeah! yeah.......of course my work now is much more serious compared to my last job which is quite simple i must say :P but, i feel less tired these days as i don't need to switch train, my workplace is just 2 stations away, shorter walking distance, and sometimes (most of times actually), bb would send me home. my spending is lesser these days, as my office is surrounded by only factories not like last time where it's located in the middle of KL city. so, i managed to spend some pennies. how good life is? but, there's always a dark side of it which make me all gloomy the whole week last week. it's so painful and still hard to digest till today. but, i take it to positive way though i did cry one or two because of it. dahh. i shall not reveal it. would ruin my good mood.

i actually have nothing to update really. i don't know what to write but i feel like writing :B and i feel like uploading my cat's photos, Tikidi here:

that's all. thanks for reading this crap! haha. *seriously i have nothing better to do*

i'm one year older!

2011-10-16T18:51:00.016+08:00

hello all! yesterday was my birthday. yes!!!!! i am one year older and i don't quite like it!! haha. as usual, i don't celebrate my birthday that much. no cakes no nothing. but i am touched there's so many friends texted and posted on my facebook wall to wish me a happy birthday. OMG. i never knew people would wish me one since i seldomly wish people's birthday on Facebook. not that i do not want to wish them but because i usually use my phone to surf internet and there's no birthday notification on my phone..boooo!

some of the birthday wishes. thank you thank you thank you

anyway, yesterday i had to work half day and later bb and i (yes, i work at the same place as bb) went to The Curve to meet our friend, Kecik there. Kecik works at Dome and bb claimed that kecik has tweeted him that he wanted to give us a treat for our birthday (because our birthday is 2 days difference!). so, here we go. this is what i ate:

it's spicy chicken pasta something something. yeah, it tasted sooo good but quite fully cause it's sooo creamy.

later that night, i went out with my best buddies, Intan and Pia. we went somewhere in Kelana Jaya (can't recall where the place is :P) and spent our splendid time there having the fabulous girls' session. we ate and chatted and updating each other and of course, gossiping too! it such a wonderful time for me as i loveeeee spending time with them. but, time flies so fast :( as every year tradition, they still give me presents! i was happy but i felt a little embarassed to receive them because they never miss to give me presents but i seldomly give them one because i don't know how to deliver them. i'm such a bad friend :( :( :( :( :(

this is where we had our late dinner. somewhere in Kelana Jaya. it's like a food court where they got about 10 varieties of stalls there. there are Italian, Arab, Thailand, Western and more. i think it's quite a good place to dine at. i have to double check with intan the exact place :P

the view

and these are what we have ordered:

mine: chicken satay. chicken is tender and well marinated but i don't quite fancy the gravy.

pia's: seafood olio spaghetti. not bad. i love the cheese powder dusted on top

intan's: deep fried crispy Bawal. yummmmms!!

enough with the food, so..these are the presents that i received. sincerely thoughtful and with love from my dearest friends:

cute popcakes!!!! it's a cat shape because they know i love cats!! well, and they call my name as Meow anyway :P

aren't it adorable??? i haven't eat them yet. sayang kot!!!

these are the gifts. popcakes from intan and on the right side is from Pia. it contains various chocolates & my favourite snacks, Cottage Fries. it's a bliss to have friends like them!! love you guys!

and...not forgetting an advance birthday card from my youngest sister. aren't they cute???

there goes my Birthday story. i feel blessed to be surrounded by thoughtful loveable friends and family that remember this date. thanks so much!! i know, i can't thank enough. i love you all! :)

Westlife Live in KL 2011

2011-10-09T23:14:00.013+08:00

yes.....you read me right, it's Westlife lads back in KL!!!!!!! when i first knew that Westlife gonna do their concert in Malaysia, my reactions were mixed. i was shocked, happy and worried. shocked because i thought they're giving up on tour, happy because they're back after so long and worried if they not as good as before. i bought the tickets quite early and another surprised, when i called ticketpro asking for the ticket status, the expensive ones were sold out already! woah, never thought that Westlife still got so many loyal fans in Malaysia. Bb and i scored for the cheapest tickets though. yes, i did enter Mix Fm contest to win Westlife tickets but i wasn't lucky enough though. such a waste when some of the callers didn't know the answer to the question given.

we arrived at the venue quite early, around 7pm or so. yes, this time i didn't bring my SLR in because i was afraid that the same thing gonna happen like the last Maroo n 5 concert. tickets that i bought this time were for free seating which means, if you're early, you'll get the best seat and if you're late, well, you just sit wherever is empty. we were quite lucky because we got the front seat (the upper level of course) which surprisingly got the better view compared to Maroon 5 concert last time though the tickets then were more pricey (=.=).

the concert is delayed a bit from what was scheduled. it supposed to start at 8.30pm but it was delayed until 9pm which made me and other fans quite disappointed. but, they appeared anyway and started the concert with song titled 'When You're Looking Like That'. i can't believe myself that i still can sing along to this song after years not listen to it. it's reminding me of their concert in 2001 which i attended because they started their concert then with the same song! i still can remember their danced to this though. haha.

overall, i think their performance were quite ok. it's upset me somehow because they didn't sing their old hits since i bet most of the attendees came to walk down their memory lanes reminiscing the high school days where Westlife was a hit then. i understand why they sang most of their new songs because this concert is called "Gravity Tour" which they wanted to promote their new album. but, it's more upsetting when they did a medley of other celebrities' popular tunes as a highlight to their show. they sang cover of Coldplay, Rihanna, Lady Gaga & Black Eyed Peas. it was enjoyable and of course people would sing along because they're popular hits but mind you, we came to Westlife concert to listen to Westlife's songs not to watch Westlife singing other people songs! yes..i know that they're love to do cover songs but that medley aren't featured in any of their albums anyway. it's like watching a singing reality tv shows when they did that.

it would've been great if they do a medley of their popular songs (especially from the earliest album) which i bet would make the crowd happier since they came back after 9 years! yes, we are all miss you boys that's why we (maybe just me?) felt like we were being betrayed! ok, maybe i'm a bit exaggerate on the betrayal part but that's what i feel anyway. on the vocals, Mark & Shane conquer it all, their voice is beautiful as always. what i love about them is that, they really appreciate their fans by keep on saying how they glad to be back in Malaysia and continuously thanking us for still supporting them :') oh yeah, being typical boy band which depending highly on their looks & appearance (though not as cute as before :P ), i think they changed their clothes about 5 times that night which i thought not necessary (=.=)'

anyway, i still love them and yes, being there watching them live again, really remind me of my good old days when i was young and madly crazily over them. i miss those days and now, i miss the lads too. you can read how i was head over heels with them here.

here are the some pictures of that night. taken with my hp camera though so the quality is quite bad.

yeah...it's Westlife baby!

my young days heartthrob! he's a gay now. what a waste

trying to hide the excitement. too ugly to be revealed

can't you tell how excited am i???!! yeah, my boyfriend was bored to death as he was torturing himself to listen to Westlife :P he was once happy when Westlife sang Coldplay's Viva La Vida :P

people started to fill the space

from where i was sitting..

it's Mark Feehily!!

yeah..it's over

last but not least, this is the one of the videos i recorded! ignore the scream ok? :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWcxFC_XPb0

footnote 1:
from the bottom of my heart, i feel proud of them because i grew up with them and seeing their achievement for being a husband to someone and happy Daddy, make me even prouder :')

footnote 2:
i still prefer Maroon 5, best show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goodbye

2011-10-02T16:20:00.015+08:00

yeah, another entry coming up! well..this is quite a sensitive & personal post for me. yeah, every entry in this blog is personal, but this one, some of the thoughts are from my very own perspective and my personal opinion on them. so, i really hope people who read this not misjudge either me or the organization of what i'm about to tell in this post. like i mentioned, it's very personal :)

yes, for after one year working at CIMB, i finally decided, it's time for me to leave this place. not that this place treat me badly or whatnot, but i thought, it's finally the time. one year is enough for me to do this job. yeah, frankly speaking, i am bored of what i'm doing. everyday is the same routine and i didn't learn much or broaden my knowledge. it's a good job anyway for those who just graduated to fill in their time before land on real job. it's a good place really because this place rewards its employees very well. i don't worry much on changing jobs because i've read somewhere in Reader's Digest i think that one person will change their job at least 5 times in their life. another reason why i left are, i felt tired to go back and forth to my workplace, getting home late, long walking distance, waiting for train, cramping ass to ass in a long journey and yada yada. and...i just suddenly felt, this is the time for me to make a change and nothing gonna change my mind. tell you, i've never been that confident in my decision before.

so..last week was my last week at CIMB where i've already submitted my resignation letter on Tuesday. so, on Friday, my teammates threw me a small farewell party. err..not party actually, but some kind of get together for the last time before i'm leaving. yeah....it was a sad moment for us as we're so close together. there'd be no more morning talks, juicy gossips, hanging out that much anymore with them. yes. it is sad. till now i'm still kind of miss that moment, but i don't think i want to repeat the tiring routine anymore. i mean, not the hanging out part, but the part of working, the journey and such.

so, anyway, these are the pictures from my humble farewell get together. thanks a lot guys. it was so thoughtful & sincerely said, i am touched.

yeah..i got this. cute kitty. they know i'm crazy bout cats and have 1 in white.

perfume

the best carrot cake i've ever tasted in my life. i'm not a big fan of carrot cake, but this one is totally blown me away. soooo gooooood together with the cheese cream frosting.

yeah...my id card before i return it

my last Masjid Jamek nasi lemak for breakfast

yes...i'm gonna miss all of these too:

my department

my spacious table: it looks plain because i already took off the decorations :P

notes i always refer to

pantry where i reheat my food & make drinks

the lounge where we have our lunch from tapau somewhere

but i always bear in mind, to be success, u need to go out and explore and i hope this is my first step in exploring and to gain new knowledge in different areas. yes, working here did taught me something. i know i'm a different person now which i guess, i'm better than what i used to be before working here. Thanks so much for the opportunity given, yes i do learnt a lot! maybe i'll be back soon, but in different department definitely, insyaAllah :P

Raya story - outdated story

2011-10-02T15:28:00.009+08:00

ok..i may have skipped September in this blog and missed a lot of things. so, i'll try to put the pieces together little by little. so...let's start with my Aidilfitri story. as usual, the routines are the same like previous Aidilfitri and i bet it would not change for another years coming. toooo bad that i have to work one day before Raya and for sure, i work with no heart in it :P the fact that the next day is Raya is so tempting for me to focus on my work..hehe. but, lucky us that we were released one hour earlier than usual. instead of going straight back to hometown, my colleague and i went to Jalan TAR to do some last minute shopping! it was as expected, cramped with people but not as pack as previous week. maybe they are all gone to their hometown already. scored a pair of kebaya for myself and sister.

after done with shopping, i went straight to my hometown, Lenggeng, Negri Sembilan by KTM Komuter. yeah, you read me, by a train. it's easier that way as my parent do not have to wait for me to return to work before heading to kampung as traffic gonna be massive on Raya's eve definitely. talk less and see more, so, here goes my Raya pictures:

another thing happened which make this Raya a bit gloomy is that, my neighbour passed away on second day of Raya. He died on first Raya actually, but the funeral is held on the next day. He wasn't just a neighbour, he's actually a friend of my grandfather where they used to work together when my grandfather stayed at PJ long time ago. He also babysit my sisters and i when we were younger. so, i was sad of this news because i didn't meet him a day before Raya as i was working on that day. Hopefully, his soul is blessed by Allah swt, insyaAllah.

yes, i didn't get leaves for this Raya, luckily we are all entitled to get 3 days of public holiday this year with conjunction of Indipendence Day, yippe! so, on Friday, i went to work again while everybody is still enjoying their long holiday. luckily it was early of month, so, there's no so much of works to be done and what more, on Friday, my company releasing the staffs one hour earlier. i continued my Raya holiday on Monday & Tuesday of the following week.

this year, my parent hadn't organize any open houses at our house since there's not enough of manpower. hehe. yeah, with me is now working, so mother doesn't have enough hand to help her though. but, it's Raya, so just come anytime, the door is always open. the differences were, the food portion is smaller and the variety is limited :P and i did go to some of relatives & friends open houses. one of them was at Intan's. she never missed to organize one every year and i always dropped to hers every year too :P the food prepared were marvelous as ever and we had a good time. Thanks again Intan!

although we didn't make any open houses this year, i did prepare about six trays of lasagne to be freezed in the refrigerator as stocks for people coming to beraya. we just have to put them in microwave for a while and voila, it's ready to be served! yeah, good thing, they were all finished. i was thinking to sell frozen lasagne as suggested by friends and family. so, what do you think of that? yay or nay?

on the last week of Raya, i went out with my ex-schoolmates and beraya with them at Dengkil. it's been ages i didn't set my foot there and it's kind of walking down the memory lane hanging out with them there. too bad, there weren't to many houses we could go as the time is too short and it's inappropriate to go to people's houses that late. but, Alhamdulillah as i managed to go to my best buddies' houses, Beeb, Manisah & Masyuni. later that night, Mas dropped me at ERL Putrajaya for me to be back home. thanks sugar!

so...i guess, that's all for my Raya story. it's kinda boring i know. hehe. hopefully, with Allah's will, all of us will get to see next Aidilfitri again, insyaAllah.

i'm free

2011-10-01T01:21:00.004+08:00

i'm tired and i should be sleeping right now. in fact, i already texted bb that i wanted to sleep but i can't. my eyes wide awake and i feel like wanted to write something here after so long abandoning this blog.

today, another major changes took place. some of you might already know some of you are not. but, it's nothing really important really. hehe. well, today was my last day at work. yes, you read me clear. i already resigned from my current workplace. i know i always be a secured person where i always make sure that i am in my safe/comfort zone when it comes to life. i know if i stay working there, i'll be receiving my monthly income and could save some (err..nothing really..hehe) since it's difficult to find other jobs out there. but, the thought to resigning suddenly came up to me last week and voila, i quit.

i don't know why, but i felt like f*ck up already working there for almost a year now. (wow, can't believe i stay there that long!). i felt overly tired, mentally exhausted, physically used. i really hadn't plan on resigning. it was a very quick decision i made and told you, i've never been that confident in making decision before this. i really really feel this is something that i must do to keep myself alive and happy. and, here i go.

so today, my colleagues had some surprises for me. they bought me a cake which we ate them together at pantry. they even gave me presents of cat's doll, a perfume and of course, a goodbye card. it was a very sad moment but thankfully, i managed to hold back my tears. yes, the moment i left the building, the feeling was varied. i felt sad but yet i felt relief. i felt tired but free. they were all combining into one. but i felt relief the most that i finally freed myself.

yes, i scored a job at other place somehow. but, it's not confirm yet and i shall not give any details of it yet. once it confirm, i'll write it here some other time.

welcoming October

2011-10-01T01:13:00.002+08:00

omg. it's been a month since i last updating anything here. i've skipped September am i? hihi. sorry guys. yeah, my last entry was about Ramadhan preparation. wow. it is that long! we're now in October already where, Aidilfitri is over and i didn't even wish my readers Selamat Hari Raya! sorry :(

well...a lot of things happened in September really. Some major changes and still in the process of adjusting myself to it. hope all those changes are for the better. i will update soon. no, i'm not giving any promises here, afraid that i can't keep it. i'll try ok? :)

Ramadhan almost over now

2011-08-20T23:12:00.009+08:00

again...it's been month since i last updating anything up here. Happy Ramadhan to all, and Eid Mubarak too. we're all be celebrating Hari Raya soon, how's your preparation so far? mine, well, today, i went to Jalan TAR *since so long*, with my office buddies after working for half day today. yeah..it was very crowded, very pack and hardly breathing+walking too!!! i don't know is it worth it or not because i bought an oversized kebaya and had it altered, but after altering it, it still look big on the shoulder and armpit area :( maybe i need to get it fix again soon. hope i manage to find a tailor.

while waiting for my friend at Ariani

later that evening, i had an iftar session at Pizza vs Satay at USJ 11 with my best buddies, Piah, Intan, Faiz & Amani. used to go to this restaurant before at their old branch at main Taipan. i thought they were closed, but instead, they are expanding! their restaurant is bigger now. of course, the price is higher too. last time they charged us at RM29 per person, but now, it's rm33 per head. but, need no to be disappointed because their menu selections are wider. we sat there for hours talking and chatting and...gossiping too! :P will blog about this more on my food blog later.

with bff

Pizza vs Satay new restaurant

oh..before i forget, before Ramadhan, we attended Zullia's wedding. it's a surprise because it was a very short notice invitation. who would've thought that Zullia gonna get married first because she's been so quiet about this before. it's a very happening wedding ceremony i must say because it was like a reunion where we met up with old friends from university. to newlyweds, happy good years ahead!

happy for you guys!

catching up

what i've been up to

2011-07-23T22:02:00.012+08:00

omg omg omg. it's been ages since i last updated my blog. it's dead here. i've been up to everything. so busy here and there. busy with works, busy catching up my life, busy re-schedule to be on track, busy with home works, busy bla bla bla. so......i'll try to put piece by piece of what i've been missing to write here. sorry if it not so detail, i'll try to shorten them up and do it briefly. well, actually, i forgot the exact details..ahaha due to aging i suppose :P

ok first, i already get my braces on! yeah. i put on the upper teeth first. i think the dentist don't want to put both because it would cause difficulty for me to eat. and, on that night, i went to catch a movie with my ex-schoolmates, Beeb and Mas. Manisah got a free tickets for "Sekali Lagi" premiere at Sunway Pyramid. my friend said that she saw David Teo and there's rumors that Shaheizy Sam and Lisa were there too but i haven't see a sight of them. not that i care anyway :P at least they are free and we got a free popcorn and drink too! i thought the story is ok lah. but there's few here and there which i thought not making sense or overly done. but Sam is good! most of reviewers said they cried watching this but i don't feel any feelings. maybe i was too busy chatting with my friends and not focusing on the movie :P

pictures courtesy of mas

then....on the week after, i attend my officemate's sister's wedding at PJ. well, her house is so near to mine, so it shouldn't be a hassle to get there. HOWEVER, it was held on 9th July which 'they' got a "Bersih Rally" in KL *which i don't wanna state any comments here*. so, it affected the wedding a bit. i went there with bb and supposedly the journey from his sister's house to mine is about 15 mins - 30 mins or so, but he stuck in traffic congestion for 2 hours! seriously menyusahkan! it such an unfortunate event for those who have a wedding on that day :(

marlia and i at her sister's wedding

next thing is......ermm..ha, i bought a new phone! well....the reason is i bought it is, my old phone which i've been using since 2008 is broken and it is too expensive to repair. then, i borrowed abah's phone since last December and then he's been asking lately for his phone back that's why i bought a new one. it's Samsung SL. at first i was a bit reluctant to buy phone from Samsung range as i never used to before. but, it's almost a month i use this and i'm loving every bit of it! it's affordable but very very convenient and very friendly user too. it's a bit like Iphone, but hey, it's cheaper. i always wanted to buy a touch screen phone and i'm glad i go for this one!:

not as cool as Blackberry and iPhone but who cares!

ok..what else eyh. ok, early of this month, i attended a CIMB in house training for Winning Collection Skills. it was a very very very very good training and very useful not only for my work field but also for my everyday life. i really love how the trainer use his skills to tackle us and teach us on tips for collection. it was hell a lot of fun!!! yeah, i was sad and nearly cried on the last day of training. in fact, for the next 2 days, when i want to get drink from pantry, i would crane my neck to see the meeting room which the training was once held. oh, Steve, how i wish we have a longer training with you :(

last day of training with our lovely Steve

i also busy organizing an bowling event for my teammate. well, my supervisor appointed my to organize bowling event for to-get-together with inbound team and mine. so, i'm the who's incharged of this event. had to do booking, calling here and there yada yada. so, last week on 15 July, we rocked the bowling alley at Midvalley. of course, i straight gotten 0 scores for few rounds. haha. never good at it though. last bowling that i played was about 2 years ago and i only played it 2 times in my entire life. epic isn't it? haha.

yeah..we were the early showed up. while waiting for other members though.

yes...workloads getting heavier these days. hardly enough time to rest everyday. same routine. earliest to arrive and latest to go home. don't wanna comment much on that. wish to get new job soon. *working on that though*

me at my workplace. it's still morning, so i can still draw a smile on my face

my new cat, err..not that new now. he's been 4 months in my house now. tikidi is now growing up and naughtier each day. our house once again filled with joy with his presence. and yes, it's my duty now to buy his food. i bought a packet for a week. they really have a big appetite! oh, what i meant by 'they', Mode, late Takada's son also staying with us. so, we allocated the food for him too (=.=)

having a snack

ready to sleep

lastly.........bb and i are getting happier now. well, our life is more organized now since bb works at a new place. he's become happier which making me much less-worry about him too. but sometimes, my workloads making me stress and indirectly it affected my mood a bit too..sorry :(

yeah!

- the end -

what a day

2011-06-19T01:04:00.012+08:00

what a tiring day today. i'm supposed to be in my deep sleep right now but instead, here i am, writing up another post for my nearly-dead blog. let me tell you what i did today..hehe *like you guys ever care lah kan?* :P

i went to work today. i already had not enough sleep the previous night and yet, i have to wake up early this morning. arrived at my office almost at 10am and finished up all works about 3pm *i work quite slow during weekend*. got off from the office with my officemate, Syaz and off we go to Jalan TAR. Mak is in her mood to sew some baju kurung recently and i had to grab this opportunity to buy some linens to be sewn by her. she's so kesian seeing me keep on wearing the same baju kurung. some of my baju kurung are from my diploma days. sad isn't it? yeah, i have some other kebaya and such but, i do not want to wear them to my office because i walk fast (switch train and all) and it would be quite a hassle to walk in those. they're also quite pricey and i don't want to damage them when i have to squeeze and cramp my body in a ass-to-ass train. so...as solution, i bought cheap fabrics since they would only be worn to office :B i planned to buy fabrics which priced for rm100 for 3 pieces where i saw last time when i went there with my cousin of February. but, instead, i got 4 pieces for price of rm100! what a bargain isn't it? *mentang2 duit sendiri, beli baju murah je* if it were my mother's money, surely, i'll get more expensive fabrics >:) hihi. these are what i bought:

i bought cotton as they're easier to sew

after that, Syaz and i had a quick lunch at KL Sentral before heading home. too bad, when i arrived at KTM Setia Jaya, my parents weren't home. they had told me to go somewhere to kill time but i was too tired then that i took taxi instead. yes, i can walk home but i was too tired to walk and plus, i carried two big+heavy plastic bags with me. if i don't buy those linen, it would be ok for me to merayau2 here and there, but carrying those with me definitely a no-no. another reason is, i don't want to put my life on the line by risking myself to be a snatch victim. so, it's better to pay up some penny for a cab right?

after a little rest, i had to prepare myself to go to my coursemate's engagement day in Shah Alam. it was quite an event i must say for an E-day, they're having quite numbers of crowd there. it such a good opportunity to catch up and updating each other with my Degree friends back in Shah Alam. had a very good time being with them there. i've got a little surprise, well, to be exact, i was surprised by a friend when she gave me souvenir from Dubai. it was so unexpected! well, it may be just a t-shirt, but i was so touched that she ever thinking of me while she's there and bought me something. seriously, i felt overwhelmed and touched. thanks so much ND! :D to newly engaged couple, congratulations! here goes my activities for today. well, i should go to sleep now *yawn*

here are some pictures:

camwhoring! :P getting ready..after seeing this photo, only now i realized how long my hair is. i should get a haircut soon

door gift. cute isn't it?

girlfriends having a good time *aliza, tuan tanah & ND*

with soon-to-be-bride. congrats!

picture courtesy of my friend. thanks peeno! credit goes to him.

they're best friends from our Diploma days. 7 years eh?

souvenir from ND! thanks so much!! :D :D :D :D

quick date

2011-05-29T23:08:00.003+08:00

Sunday, another day on weekend and yes, i went out with bb again. hee. it's not that we planned after all. i refused to go out on Sunday as i had lots of house works to be done, well, not really that but, i need to have a very very good rest before all out at work tomorrow. and i planned to walk to Pyramid to buy some stuffs for myself. to be exact, to do a little shopping as i've read Body Shop is having sale up to 70% and plus 10% for Maybankard holder. wohoo.

too bad, today was soooooo hot and i was just tooooo lazy to walk under the sun alone. what a luck i have when bb texted me and asked me whether i wanted to go to Subang Parade or not. well..of course i agreed since i will sit comfortably with full blast air-cond in his car while he's driving me there. :P spent time with him there. we had so much fun although it just a very quick date i must say. about 3 hours or so. oh, by the way, he's already resigned from Astro, so he's been much happier and get back to his old self now. i'm so happy to see him like that as working at Astro before really took a toll on him. he's been sick and unhappy all the time :(

anyway, drop that issue, i'm now again a happy woman (apart from workloads of course) and he's a happy man now and that's all matters. soo...i bought this at Parade:

i'm a one-brand-woman (is there any such term?) actually. usually i would use one product for long before changing it to other product. but, since like forever, my face skin isn't smooth enough. i have many pimple scars and little pimples on my forehead. i'd like to remove them but i do not know which product suits me :( so, cross my finger and tried this. if it doesn't work, have to change to another brand again, haih. by the way, i wanted to buy other products which i used before from Body Shop. too bad, they were sold out ever since the first day of sales (read: Friday). it's the third time i went to Body Shop and asked for it but they weren't available. too bad :( if it weren't for the sale, i won't go there anyway :P

however, there was a slight disappointment i had to face. when i paid those at counter, i requested for a paper bag and willing to add 50cent for it. but, the cashier refused to give it to me as she said it's part of their effort for environment, earth conservation yada yada. then, i said i know that but there were too many things i have to carry. what if i dropped them? it can be accepted if it was Saturday where there's no plastic bag day. but, look at the logic. how can i carry them with bare hands?? luckily i brought a sling bag with me, but it is too small to keep the stuffs :( i felt it was quite unfair because the person before me got a bag when he requested it. i know she's too lazy to get a bag inside the store for me (i paid at outside counter). soooo....my bag became heavy for carrying them. and...when i was trying to keep all those stuffs i bought into my bag, she said "ala..mesti muat punya". i felt like slapping her face!

anyway, stupid cashier, your act did not spoil my happy evening with my love one! thanks bb for today! ;)

weekend

2011-05-28T21:24:00.004+08:00

oh my..again, haven't update my blog for ages. been abandoned it. sorry :( life's too busy lately. ever since i get back to work from my long holidays, there are heavy workload awaited for me. had to come on weekend, no rest, working late, no rest, do OT, no rest yada yada. and today....supposedly, i have to come to work today but i didn't because i wanted to spend time at home and take a good rest. super cool when nenek is in town and spending a night here. yeay! *p/s: nenek brought glutinous rice with sambal ikan keli, super yeay! :D

today, went to bb friend's wedding at Kota Damansara. spent sometime there as he met up with his other colleagues. got back home and dropped by at Subang to buy tiki's tapeworm medicine, cat food and shampoo. i thought to steal some times to spend with bb at Subang Parade or maybe just eating rojak together somewhere but something came up and bb had to rush home :(

anyway, that's all i want to update with. nothing much really. sorry for wasting your time reading it :B

ambil berkat

cuti

2011-05-15T17:17:00.004+08:00

early of this month, i got my stretched leave for 3 days which started on 3rd May until 5th May. it was heavenly 3 days off without thinking anything related to work. yeah! what i did? well...........nothing much really. spending time with my grandparents at my hometown, Lenggeng, Negeri Sembilan. it was totally a rejuvenating moment. so peaceful and relaxing just being there. then, on Tuesday, went to see dentist in Gombak to take off 2 of my teeth and again, yesterday, i went there again to take off another 2. huhu. what a waste because they were strong and healthy teeth :(

on last Wednesday, 4th May, i went out with my university besties, Piah and Intan. it such a long time didn't meet them. miss them so much. lucky that they aren't working yet and i was on my leave then, so off we go to spend time together! went to Midvalley as Intan already bored with OU and i just can't bear going to Pyramid too often. hee. we watched movies Love & Other Drugs played by Jake Gylenhaal and Anne Hathaway (i hope i spell their name correctly). well, it's a boring boring movie. seriously boring. really is. some even fell into sleep and snoring in the cinema. the movie was cut here & there. it was kind of upset because we've paid for tickets not to see a cut movie. it's better if we downloaded it i think.

later that evening, we spent our time chatted at Murni branch in Mentari. yeah, they're opening their new wings in Dataran Mentari. so close to my house, yeay! it was totally a fun day spending with my best friends. now, i already miss gossiping with each other :( hope to see them again soon!

picture is too dark :(

maroon 5 live in KL 2011

2011-05-03T21:29:00.011+08:00

as some already knew, last Friday on 29th April, 2011, i went to Maroon 5 live in KL concert!! it such an indecisive situation before we finally decided to go here. well, i wanted to go to this concert ever since February when i first saw the advertisement. but then, i changed my mind, i thought it was waste of money. then suddenly, i felt like it's worth of going, but again, i thought i might work and do OT that day and at last finally, 2 weeks before the concert, i've decided, i don't care about anything and just buy the tickets! i bought an rm188 ticket for. well, i wanted to buy a front row ticket which costed at rm400++ but, when i came to my senses that i'm buying for two, i go for the second cheapest tickets though.

my tickets, after 5% discount for Maxis user

Maroon 5 is the second concert i went to in my entire life ever after Westlife in 2001. what i can say is................

THEY'RE AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, i had to do an OT that day. sharp at 7.00pm, without any delay, i rushed out to LRT station to go to Bukit Jalil as bb already waiting there. bought a Maroon 5 t-shirt for souvenir. little upset was, after a long queue, when we finally reached at the security check, i was caught for bringing a camera in :( well, we almost pass through actually but they caught me up as he noticed my Sony DSLR strap T_T i thought, if i hadn't attached the lens and its body earlier, we might pass through :( so, we had to return to our car to leave my camera there. what a dissappointment as neither bb nor i have a digicam. now, i really am appreciated a digicam and i need one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my t-shirt

the concert was really really really great!! adam levine is so cute, making me feel like i'm 17 and fell in love with him all over again! haha. yeah, i've been Maroon 5 fans since i'm 16. i thought i was grown up then when i started to get bored of Westlife and looking for a different music genre. Maroon 5 was in then with their first hits, Harder to Breathe and i just fell in love with them right away after seeing the video clip! as usual, collected their posters and all. but, when i was starting my Degree at Shah Alam, i started to less following them because there are too many people liking them, so, well, i just don't wanna share :P

well, back to the concert. of course, i sang along with all their songs played that night. but, mostly, i only memorized the lyrics from their first album, Songs About Jane. i don't know why, but their songs in that album really touched my heart compared to the other albums. there's no opening artist to perform, phew ..hee. at 9.15pm, they just straight went on stage and sang Misery. of course, all the screams filled the space all over. the concert ended roughly at 11.00pm with their last song, Sunday Morning. there's none even a boring second in their performance! well, as usual, if i feel overwhelmed or too excited, i would cry a tears. but, thankfully, i managed to hold them back or else bb gonna laugh at me :P but, too bad, this band not singing my favourite ever tune "Sweetest Goodbye" and they also left out their hits "Goodnight Goodnight". but, still, i was satisfied and enjoyed every second in that hall.

some of the shots. they're ugly, i know. taken from my hp camera though.

i wish the screen is bigger

i wanted to upload some 'ugly' videos too, but don't know what went wrong, it just didn't work :( maybe some other time. but, i suggest, you can youtube it instead! :p

Book Fair and quick catching up

2011-04-24T12:53:00.008+08:00

yesterday, while working, i suddenly had a thought to meet my old buddies Intan & Pia as lately, i feel soooo rinduuu for them. don't know why, but i just miss to hanging out with them. plus, ever since i started working, we hadn't seen each other that much. so many things that we want to catch up with. it's a very last minute plan because as i already at KL and finish my work at 2pm, i do not have any plans to do at home, that's why this idea popped out. texted Intan, but too bad that she's currently working at PWTC book fair. i told her that i would go there and meet her. texted piah too, asking her if she's free that day, so we could hanging out together. well, i just try my luck, because it's a very last minute plan! i don't mind if they're busy because i can go anywhere alone myself just to kill time on saturday evening :P

so...after i've done with my work, i headed to PWTC by Star LRT, it just 2 stations away from my office. met intan there but she's so busy as yesterday was on weekend, so people kept on coming at Karangkraf's room and Intan kept on restocking the Malay novels on the shelf! but, at least, we did had a short chat together! :D called Imah as she's also taking part of this event. she said she's going to be at PWTC around evening, but at last, she showed up about night or so, and i already left the place. at the end, plan changed. i just met piah only as she fetched me at Sri Rampai LRT station. we didn't hang out with Intan as she was tired due to her work and plus, she had to work for the next day.

anyhow, at Book Fair, i bought myself this: ahaha. being me, mana boleh pergi tempat macam ni tak beli apa2 kan? :P

i already read 'cekik', and i thought it was good. it's different from other Malay novels though. no lovey dovey, no rich & famous and Tengku here and there. you can read the excerpts and review here: http://fixi.com.my/

i don't get him when he wrote "baca elok2' ahaha.

then, i'm off from PWTC to meet Piah and she brought me to this Mamak restaurant around her housing area. i must say that this food was gooooooooooooooooooooood!! it's quite cheap too. although this is a mamak restaurant, but the Thai's cooking here was so delicious! we were sat there for hours and spent our time chatting and gossiping with each other.

later that night, again, Piah sent me to my house. i was so segan of her because my plan was to take LRT and then commuter but abah called me and said he won't be able to fetch me at Komuter station as he wanted to go to my auntie's house in Shah Alam.

anyway, i had a very goooood day! thanks Piah & Intan. but, still, time flies so fast whenever i'm with them. well, we should plan very well for our next meeting later, no more last minute like yesterday..hehe.

CIMB team buiding.

2011-04-24T11:52:00.008+08:00

everyday, when i open this dead blog of mine, i really have thought and wanted to put them into words. but then, everytime my fingers already on the keyboard, they just stop dead. ahaha. ok, i am exaggerating here. what shall i update on? okay, let me start with CIMB team building i went to last 2 weeks. yes. last 2 weeks. this team building was divided into 2 separate sessions which the first one was for seniors in CIMB and the second was for new joiners, and that includes me.

i was a bit worried on joining this event at first because i'm still in the healing process for my gum which i can't do much of heavy activities. but, it turned out all the physical activities weren't that heavy. basically it required much of thinking and discussion in group before performing the assignment. that evening, we had a dinner party with a theme back to school. it was overall ok and fun. but, i thought the setting and the place was a bit cramped to cater all of us. food was ok! despite my ache teeth and wounded gums, i'm still able to chew slowly and enjoying my food.

anyhow, it was fun indeed. having to know all other staffs in my department and building a friendship bond between us. the bad part about that was, we still had to go to work next morning. that was and still is not cool at all.

pain

2011-04-03T21:48:00.003+08:00

ok, as some people know, i lost a cat last Wednesday. i'm still sad, but, i'm getting better. we are now can mentioned his name without tears. maybe i'll blog about him some other time. still need time to collect all the strength to write about him. oh ya, we've got a new kitten name. his name is Tikidi. heee. we just wanted our attention to focus on something else from remembering Takada, that's why we adopted a kitten. but, it's not about him i want to blog about. again, maybe some other time. ahaha, too many promises, am i?

i am now in the state of recovering from my infectious gum. yes. it is infected! went to see doctor last Thursday as i can't stand the pain. but, it ain't got any better now. food still keep on stuck at some kind of hole at my surgery spot of my gum. it sucks when you can't even chew anything. got the appetite but it's such a torture to eat! i hate it hate it hate it T__T it's frequently bleeding and i feel like a vampire sometimes when i have to swallow the blood :'(

will again see the doctor tomorrow as i need to take off the stitch. do not know if the wound is healing or not as i still in pain. been on MC for days now. hope i get better sooner.

p/s: i miss Takada. he wasn't home for 2 days now. haih :(

2 nights in PPUM

2011-03-27T18:08:00.018+08:00

ok, now it's time to get serious. remember my post about my teeth check-up last time? well, you can click here.

Wednesday, 23rd March
so..as scheduled, i was admitted in ward on 23rd March *my first time ever!!!* i was assigned to Menara Timur section of PPUM. Menara Timur is quite a walking distance from Menara Utama, and it's quieter too and creepier maybe? err. i got a room for two *yes, a little privacy!*. mother accompanied me to the ward, unpack my stuffs and helping me tidying up my bed and arranging stuffs before she headed back to her office and leave me alone. how i hate being alone in hospital, but i just couldn't keep her with me all time, i'm a big girl now, am i?

waiting area before admitting into ward.

Josh Grogan's Marley & Me and Jodi Picoult's Picture Perfect to keep me occupied

later, a nurse told me, around that evening, i would have to go to dental clinic to do the check-up. i thought when she said "evening" it's gonna be around 3-4pm like that. so, i killed time by going to cafeteria *i don't have appetite to eat hospital's food :(*, grab myself a last copy of that day's newspaper. i think, i was gone for about 1/2 hours including time wasted waiting for the slow elevator.

don't ask me what maxillo facial mean is

my first food. being me, every new place i go, i just couldn't finish my first food :(

when i reached my bed and about to eat my karipap, a nurse came to me and questioned "where are you going?we're supposed to go to clinic right now!" damn. it's not that i worried nurse is mad at me or what, but remember my previous post about my gastric? i was afraid that it might come back as i just ate about 2 spoonfull of rice only for lunch. off i went to see dentist and settled everything about an hour later. i went back to my bed alone without a nurse accompanied me as i was too lazy to wait for her. with me wearing my hospital uniform and everyone was staring at me like i was in mission to escape or something. plus, with my fast-walk, anyone would craned their neck to see me "what on earth this healthy girl doing with hospital's uniform?". but, anyway, i was happy that i arrived my bed safely and not lost *route from main building to Menara Timur is very confusing, that's why*. happily ate my karipap, blueberry pie, a slice of papaya and egg tart..and indulged myself with my novels. he he he.

earrrrlyyyy dinner

later, came Dr Zakiah to get a sample blood from my tiny hand. it's a torturous process i must say for a thin person like me because it wasn't easy to seek for the right vein to poke and get my blood. she poked my left hand twice and only managed to get half of blood for 5-inch tube and poked twice again at my right hand and didn't get any. then, a nurse came and in less than a minute, she got a full tube of blood easily plus, without pain (=.='). that night, my parent & grandparent came, was happy to see them yeay! not forgotten, bb too :') told him not to trouble himself to visit me as he's tired from work and all that, but, kepala batu as he always be, he still came :')

finally, u've got the hole right eh? well, not really, next morning, they poke again another hole as this one was swollen T_T

Thursday, 24th March
that night, i have to fast and later early in the morning about 5am like that, a nurse woke me up, told me to have a shower and getting ready for my surgery. omg. that's scary scary scary!!!
texted my mother at 6.30am to tell me that my name was first on the list today for surgery. around 9am or so, i was brought to the operation room. changed to operation uniform, chatted a little with doctors there, i remembered that they played Bryan Adams' song....Madonna's Take A Bow...i think the songs were to help me to relax...then i breathed through the breathing support machine *i don't know the exact name* and minutes later, i passed out already. everything went black.

about 15 minutes before going to operation room

woke up and felt dizzy, with a smell of blood, my mouth felt hurt and i couldn't think straight. but i could hear others' conversation and i remembered i heard doctor's voice chatted with my former classmate. i thought it was a dream but it felt so real. turned out, it was real anyway! aha. it was my former high school classmate Pui San. i know she's further her study in dentistry at UM but i kinda not updating with her much, so i thought she's already finished study or something. it's kinda not cool to see old bestfriend with blood all over your face right? plus, with she's helping me out when i vomitting my blood (+_+) my mother told me that the operation took about 4 hours, from 9am to 1pm man!! i don't know that removing teeth gonna take time that long.

when i was already on my own bed, well, i kept on spitting blood, vomitting blood, plus with the anesthetic effect, i was so dizzy. i hate the feeling when i was hungry but not able to eat T_T started with banana...took about 3 hours to finish one! when the anesthetic's gone and i managed to catch a short nap, only then i felt a bit better and able to talk. Mak Oji and her husband came that night followed by Pakbusu and Maksu later too. they brought together chicken porridge and i was eating like a giant cat. oh, not forgotten, bb also came..heee :') couldn't sleep well that night, felt like crying because my feet so hurt! i thought like running home right at that moment. wanted to call my mother, but lucky that i came to my senses that's it's already very late at night. i guess it's already 2am in the morning.

after the operation, with my mother :)

Friday, 25th March
Dr Zakiah again came checked on me and told me, if i already can eat, and felt healthy, there's a chance that i might discharged that day! yippie! i couldn't stand any longer staying at hospital :( then, came a nurse hours later and asked me if i wanted to discharge today. for sure i replied "YES"! so, texted my mother, and about 12pm. after all the documents were prepared, off we go from this place. wanted to give thanks to Dr Zakiah, Dr Farah and Dr Alex, but they were nowhere to be seen. nurses that always nursing me too weren't in sight. guess they were on the night shift :(

getting ready to get back

anyway, and that's my first experience ever spending a night at hospital and undergo a surgery some more. alhamdulillah, it was a pleasant stay with all nice doctors and nurses. i am now have to carefully watch my diet, no hot food, lotsa ice cream and iced drinks *yippie!* no removing heavy things and bla bla bla. hope i'll get better soon. by the way, i got an MC and only on next Wednesday shall i start working again. bye bye work, hello holiday!

gastric.

2011-03-27T10:51:00.006+08:00

i guess it's a routine now to update my blog once a week. ehee. i have a story for this week but, let me tell a bit about last week first. we just have to follow the sequence right? *although the story not related at all*.

last week on 19th March, i went to work *bullshit so-called office hours* as there were so many pending works on that week. no breakfast, just managed to grab some kuih at Masjid Jamek LRT station and straight working WITHOUT lunch until about 3pm. after that, my colleagues and i straight headed to KLCC as there's a Job Fair held there. thanks to Farah and her boyfriend for the ride yeah! to our disappointment, there was a long queue to enter and the companies participants wasn't that much. plus..........limited limited choices and if there any, well, as usual, for sales and customer service vacancies :( plus...not so many of free stuffs too!!!! killed time for hours there like for nothing, dropped my resume few here and there. then, off to lunch we go at 6pm!

just so-so. mine is better *riak* ahaha. i should've opt for nasi!!! malay stomach, just can't deny.

M, farah and i. see how skema i am. *because i thought i'll be going alone, so i dressing down as i can*

i ate lasagne, and after eating, straight headed home. after performing my Maghrib prayer, i was asleep till the next morning................and the story started here. having a sensitive stomach, i was having a gastric that night. diarrhea, vomitting and my stomach spinning and bloated. it continued until Tuesday. on Monday, still i went to work although i was already shivering but alhamdulillah i managed to get through the day. Mum bought gaviscon for me that day and although my stomach still spinning, but, it gets better. lesson for me, do not ever ever ever leave my stomach empty. ok, that's all.

the medicine.

*this entry kinda pathetic. i know *

PAC

2011-03-20T07:40:00.012+08:00

aha..again, another week passed before writing up a new post :P so...for this entry, i'm going to tell you about PAC which i went to last week. PAC is stand for Programme Assessment Centre for those who applied job as PTD. it's a second stage after passing the examination. i was so not in the mood of going since i got a fever the other day and it's getting worse on that day. lost my appetite and my mother started nagging me to force down and finish my roti canai when we're having breakfast before heading to INTAN..huuu~ T_T

got there pretty early, well, it's better because i was informed later that some candidates were sent home because they late for like 10 minutes for registration! since it's only like 15 minutes journey from my house, my father just dropped me at the stairs and bye-bye to me. ceh. some candidates were accompanied by their parents and they even sent their children into the room. met my old Penang buddies there, Ija, she's my roomate during my first semester at Penang. too bad, i'm not in the same room like her :( spotted other friends too including Syaza (which i already expected) and altogether there were 5 of us from UiTM Penang batch. weeeee!

this was my room. not bad isn't it? well, considering it's free! haha. i got to share a room with Zu which surprisingly we went to same school! but, never knew her because she's already left school when i entered my Form 1. she's very nice, very talkactive too! my 2 days spending there was fun having her around. i considered myself as lucky because we got a room for 2 persons because some had to share it for 3 and the rest got a dorm with 6 people inside. so...i've got a little bit of privacy. hee. after throwing all bags and stuffs in my room, we straight going for the first activity. well, there are few activities here which segregate into categories. each activity is either using English or Bahasa Malaysia as a medium of communication. when using Bahasa Malaysia, you're not allowed to use even a single word in English and same goes other way round.

i must say all candidates there are verrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyy good and to tell the truth, i was a bit scared. for English, they are all speaking like English is their mother tongue. i felt a bit down myself because mine isn't that good :( frankly speaking, all activities required you to use your brain up to maximum level and to think outside the box. briefly, it's mostly about a problem solving issue. you had to discuss with your group members how to solve that problem. from here, i can see everyone came out from their shell. some are very dominant and try to control everything, some are kept on talking gibberishly without thinking and turned out, all words are rubbish, some are very quiet, some tend to having difficulty in listening to others and many many more. me? maybe i'm in between. haha. i think, for PTD, is not how well you speaking, but how you being diplomacy when you're surrounding with people like those. even, the facilitator stated, it's not how much you speak, but how to say 'NO' to others. my advise is, for those who will be going to PAC later, please please be prepared.

for that evening, supposedly we have a running activity for 2.4km! luckily it's raining and the running is changed to aerobics instead. yeay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can see everyone is happy on that! :P for public speaking session, i was given a topic of Organ Donation. without internet, i can't access for more information but i think my content was good enough because i used to read about this before. being me, i tend to speak very fast when i nervous @@ so relieved that i could give a satisfied answer (for me lah) during Q & A session later..phew. overall, i think i've given my best, but there are some errors here and there where i couldn't think it through because i wasn't feeling well which made my brain not working hard enough T_T and.......the outcome of this PAC was, my fever getting worse the next day and still, i had to go to work and went home late as usual. i really really really hope i can make it through though the chances is sooooooooo little. imagine, there are about 70k to 80k attended the exam, 7k to 8k passed and went to second stage, about half of that pass to the interview and there are about less than 500 vacancies available !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, did i scared you out? hee.

the food:

some sneak peeks of this place:

bye!

toothfairy, if you ever existed, please rescue me!

2011-03-07T22:05:00.007+08:00

hye all. today, i'm gonna tell you about what i did today..and it's not something so pleasant i must say..hehehehehe. ok, here goes, i wanted to wear braces since like forever. i meant it. since i was a kid. but then, when i was small, i was scared to wear one. then, when i finished my school, i registered again at PPUM to get my braces on. the queue took years, but too bad, when it came to my turn, i had to turn it down because i was at Penang then and it would be quite a hassle to get back to KL every month to do the check up. so, recently, i registered again at one private clinic somewhere in Gombak and something came up. something unexpected.

the doctor refused to do braces on my teeth asap because he suspected a lump at my right jaw. he said to refer to hospital first before proceeding since he worried if i already put my braces, it would affect my gum. plus, it's out of his expertise. soo..here i am today, at Faculty of Dentistry, UM with my mother to do a check up on my jaw. had breakfast of Roti Telur and Teh Tarik before going there. i guess, it's not really a good idea. sorry doc if you smell any curry aroma fill up in your consultation room..ahaha.

breakfast at Faculty of Medicine cafeteria

it's quite a long process i must say because my case is quite unusual. i had to do an X-Ray, then, after founding that my teeth structure quite..well...err..weird? maybe a bit different i must say, they proceed me to do a CT Scan because they wanted to check the structure of my mouth, jaw and such into extra details. she said that i have a "twin teeth" which is rarely founded and the scan purposes was to find what exactly cause the lump on my right jaw. even the practical dental students there were surrounding me to see my X-Ray picture because they said that's their first ever to see teeth structure like that. they even wanted to take it as part for their assignment. pfftt. is that cool or uncool???!

my teeth structure. this is my famous teeth X-Ray

yeah..this is me acting like so brave

the doctors there were arguing and discussing about my teeth. one wanted to take them all off today, one wanted to take 2 off today and there's a lot lot lot of hypotheses and opinions. so....as conclusion, i have to undergo an oral surgery in 2 weeks time which i have to be admitted into ward a day before. OMG. i was scared like hell because i've never ever been warded before!!!!!!!!! i never thought the idea getting a braces could take me this far!!!! they said, they would put me into sleep before taking out 4 of my useless teeth. they asked me, would i prefer to do the process while i'm awake or when i'm sleep. then, i answered them "even when i'm awake, i guess i would faint naturally during the process" ..and they are all laughing. ceh.

so...i'll be living in fear for these upcoming 2 weeks. help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks mother for accompanied me today and even entered the consultation room with me. aha. thanks also to Doctor Farah who is sooooo nice and sweet. i usually hate dentist but with her, it's a pleasant experience i would say. :)

later my mother and i adjourned for lunch. i definitely won't be able to eat all those good food once my teeth were taken off T_T

wedding season

2011-03-06T17:07:00.006+08:00

it's wedding season! wedding bells or may i say kompang melody is everywhere! every weekend, there would be at least one wedding invitation my family received. some of them can be attended and some are just can't :( today, bb and i went to Cheras to attend my officemate's wedding. we arrived there quite early and killed our time by waiting in a car for my other friends to arrive. the food is goooooooood, maybe because we're hungry? ahaha. to the newlyweds, congratulations and may you have a blessed marriage and a happy life ahead.

getting ready

door gifts for this weekend alone

above are some of the door gifts collected. i don't understand that is this some kind of trend to give a paper/plastic bag/basket and fill them with junk food? well, at least it can be eaten (which i rarely do) but to fill them with unnecessary items which obviously will not be used later is not a really a good idea i think. read: small cups, mini towels, cutleries, small glass. i think things that can't be used is such a waste. but anyway, it's only my opinion and the rest is up to the family's budget and their likings. so, as a guest, you just shut up and eat your nasi minyak..heheh ;p

a quick catching up

2011-03-05T21:33:00.010+08:00

last night bb and i went to Zhaf's house, our former classmate friend from UiTM shah alam as he organized a Yassin recitation event. i had to do an overtime yesterday, so i was worried that we would turn up late since there would be a massive traffic congestion during that particular hour. plus, we were lost quite a distance from his house where Zhafran had to drive to our lost location and lead the way to his house..hee. when we arrived, my first thought was the event already over but it hadn't started yet. ok, his house is huge man! in fact, all the houses around his are huge and pretty. Aliza arrived after minutes we were there. fuh, lucky that she came or else it would be sooo awkward to be alone where you don't know any faces there :P

after Yassin recitation, we were invited to have a little dinner. the food was good oh kay! they got Arabian rice and accompaniments, pies, muffins and more. i really love the chocolate muffin. i ate half of it and took it home. too bad that i left it in bb's car.....pfftt. had a little chatted after with Zhafran and Aliza, but too bad, time flies so fast that we had to cut it short because it's getting late :( anyway, thank you so much Zhafran for inviting us. had a good time there! :D

and i just noticed that there's no tuan rumah picture after all..adeh. :P

127 and shoes hunting

2011-02-27T23:22:00.004+08:00

it's a date time!! going out with bb to The Curve today since we planned to watch movie and as Cineleisure isn't really cramp with people during weekend compared to GSC and TGV. plus, i wanted to dropped by at Ikea to buy a salad spinner for my grandmother. hehe. we watched 127 hours because we were so attracted by its trailer last time when we watched Season of a Witch.

what i can say is..

...

........

....................

THIS MOVIE IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really really do love this movie. first, of course because it is based on true story, then, i love the way how they shoot this movie on different angles and perspectives from their camera. so...the movie appear more interesting rather than just a boring documentary. it's a worth watching. what i really love and well....creepiest part i must say is when he has to cut off his arm with a dull hand-knife to escape. i think the best part and yet worst part is when he has to break his bone to make the cutting process easier and pulled up his vein from his arms to cut them off. urrghh.. just can't explain it, you should watch it. here goes the trailer. oh, i forgot, i love all songs featured in this movie too. yes, i already downloaded the theme song ;P

then, we did a little shopping, well, i did because i want to buy shoes for my PTD assessment next month. this is what i bought.

a pair of training shoes, a pair of covered shoes and a slipper for my office. haih. working like hell, and the pay is gone in a minute! haha

and...the list to buy isn't just stop there. there's still plenty of stuffs i have to buy as part for my preparation. track suit, long sleeve t-shirt and bla..bla. anyway, as usual, i had a great time today and thanks bb for today! ;D

oh work

2011-02-26T13:56:00.003+08:00

again............no updates!!! i've been busy busy busy that i can't describe anymore T_T i work for like 2 weeks straight man!!! how crazy is that? working until late, arrived home around 10.30pm or 11pm and wake up at 6am next morning. well, being me, earliest to arrive, latest to go home. but, it's ok, i take it as challenge of life and a challenge for myself too. to see how far i could take this and how could i maintain the work quality at the same time too. word that keep me strong to get through this is from bb when he once said to me that:

"those who rest because of tiredness from work when they got home, Allah will bless them because they went out during a day to seek for halal income to feed their family"

well, it's not exactly what he said, but still it brings the same meaning. whenever i feel like i couldn't cope with stress of workloads or whenever i feel like want to quit, his words keep on repeating in my head and that's bring up my spirit back.

so far, well, like i said, work is heavier because February is a short month. so, we were pushed to maximum level and staying back later to achieve collection targets. but, still ok for me because i take it as responsibility for me as an employee for organization i work for. it just, i can't cope with the management. well, i shall not write more on this topic or i'll be sued. ahaha. but, since i made the introduction, let just give it a brief preview. cewah....hihi. what i can say is, i'm not in the list of favourite for her/him. i made good relationship with others and everyone is ok with me, i've got many friends from everywhere else. so, i guess that she's/he's the one that got problem with me. so far, i did nothing wrong. just few issues which she/he take it wrongly and personally. i don't think she/he had a good management skill/human resource skill at all. to make decisions based on emotions are definitely show a low quality of a leader. to give a salary raise or promotion based on favouritsm are OBVIOUSLY not a good leader.

anyway, i put all them aside as i always set back my intention whenever i felt i've been bullied or the victim of that "situation". my intention is to work as part of ibadah and to earn some cash for not burdening my parents and help those in needs have always get my feet back on the ground again. so.....as for conclusion for my entry this time is, whenever you feel down, let's get back to your real intention and should you remember for whom and what for you work this hard, and you'll be ok again. insyaAllah.

p/s: i always remind myself there's a reward stored for me one day for the hardness and all those obstacles i went through. it just that we don't know what the reward is or maybe, it's there but we don't realize it. :)

my first foundation

2011-02-13T22:56:00.002+08:00

haven't receive my February salary yet, but already bought this. always wanted to buy a foundation before but often that i worried whether it is gonna turn out good or not to my skin. so, it's my first try out to use foundation. ever. besides, i also rarely use compact powder, as it would make my skin oily. maybe it's not suitable to my skin? another reason is, i'm not really good in make up and stuff. that is why i always use Johnson Baby Powder because it is easier, smells good and cheaper of course. he he he :P anyway, i really love this foundation, because it feel so light to my skin :D maybe after this, i'll start learning slowly how to apply make up. so envy to see other girls with beautiful and neat make up on their faces. i wanna be like them!

anyway, the products above i bought with 15% off discount from my auntie. my first intention is to buy ONLY a foundation but at last, being me, i grabbed a lipstick and lip gloss too T_T

the wedding

2011-02-13T13:43:00.017+08:00

alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. thousands of thankful to Allah s.w.t as all what we've planned, preparations and the event itself has smoothly took place. yesterday was Majlis Bertandang event on the groom side and that's the end of it. many thanks to relatives and friends who came for a week everyday and gave such helping hands on preparations and such. your kindness can't ever be repaid. so..now it's time for me to write on the chronicles of the event. chewahh. so, basically we have 3 big events which are Malam Berinai, Reception and Majlis Bertandang on groom side. although the 2 big events were held on my side but since i have such a big family, everyday my house were filled with people especially on a week before the wedding.

we have like every night of family gathering and dinner because my relatives would come to set up the mini throne *pelamin*, decorate the bride's room, cleaning/clearing house, arranging furnitures, decorating and preparing hantaran *gifts for groom* and such and such. not included searching for the family's attire for Malam Berinai. ahaha. lucky that my office is behind Jalan TAR, so, it's easier for me to buy Kaftan or scarfs for the bride and such and such. well, the event is not only highlighted on the bride, family also must look good aren't we? hoho :P

the hantarans that my aunties made. well, there's one tray i contributed my idea on :P

so, basically, what we did on Malam Berinai was Tepung Tawar activity where we threw Bunga Rampai (fragrant shredded Pandan leaves with fresh flowers) on bride & groom. yes, of course we do that on the reception, but for Malam Berinai, it's more to close family to take honour to do Tepung Tawar because usually during reception, family would be busy. then, of course, photograph session where it is a compulsary activity i must say.

newlyweds with my family. i hate how big my head is in this picture T_T

the next day was the big event of all. reception day. of course, i woke up early, then cleaning up the house from the mess of previous night. washing all pots and stuffs while i still stink from my just-woke-up self then took a shower and off we go to the hall. eheh, the hall is actually within 1 minute journey from my house and 15 minutes if we walk there :P the event was a blast i must say. there were many guest came and my family and i were like can't get enough of ourself to greet and treat every guest. we ourselves felt surprised to see there were so many people came. so touch by you guys :') so, we're sorry if you felt left out on that event. didn't mean to, we were just too busy :(

some pictures on that day:

see...how big my family is. and this people came to my house almost every day&night week before the event.

it was a beautiful day and bright. and...right after the wedding ends, it rained heavily. alhamdulillah again that it didn't rain during the event. or else, it would be cramped inside the hall and a mess. again, it was a blessed from Allah s.w.t. :)

entry on Majlis Bertandang will be followed up soon ;)

footnote: pictures are courtesy from my cousin's camera, Amirul.

happy newlyweds

2011-02-11T21:20:00.006+08:00

long time i didn't update my blog. was soooooo tight up. as i mentioned before, my sister is getting married, so, a lot of preparations to be done. getting busy and busier each day and a week prior to the wedding, my house was filled by relatives every day and night. alhamdulillah, the event went well and smooth. although not all people we've invited come, but the reception was so merrier and filled with relatives. it's a long holiday on chinese new year, so, most of our friends and acquaintances went to their hometown. never mind, there's still another two wedding soon. eh? :P anyway, people keep on coming and go and i'm so sorry if i can't treat everyone good enough :(

the theme was purple and for honest compliment, my sister did look pretty that day. blerggh. ahaha. ;p anyway, thanks to Allah, that day was such a beautiful day with sun shone and bright smile drew from everyone's faces ;D to newlyweds, i hope you will be happy together and may your marriage bless by Allah s.w.t.picture credit to farah from Nono Fara . more pictures will be uploaded soon. still waiting from photographers ..hee. by the way, tomorrow would be Majlis Bertandang on the groom side at Kampung Melayu Subang.

2011-01-24T22:03:00.002+08:00

i don't mind working extra hard & putting extra effort
i don't mind taking short break although i deserve more
i don't mind staying back
i don't mind helping others
i don't mind getting back late
seriously, i really don't ...because i believe that's my responsibility and i take it as part of my "Ibadah" and to tell the truth, i do enjoy it.

but, just one thing and only
i do mind and i can't tolerate when you being biased with racism.

good day, good company

2011-01-20T12:54:00.010+08:00

yesterday, i went out for a date with bb. since i started working, i hardly had enough time going out with him. well, i mean, a proper date where we spend whole day together. it's either he doesn't has his weekend off our i'm not free on weekend :( as for yesterday, i'd applied my annual leave and coincidencely, bb also got his off day on the same day! :D so, we had booked the date to watch movie (since we don't do much for quite sometimes) and spending time together. went to Mutiara Damansara as it is near so we could escape early to skip massive traffic jam. woke up early to cook as i planned to bring home-packed nasi goreng for bb and had them in a car while we drove to our destination :P see, now we already save some money for breakfast :B as we arrived at The Curve, we watched "Season of the Witch" as it's the only movie available for early showing time. there were about 6 people including us in the cinema (=.=). the movie is sooooooooo good! it's really worth it. we enjoyed this movie to bits, you can't really predict the ending and that's the beauty of it and i love that little twist at the end of this movie ;P

later, we had lunch at Ikea as bb craving for some meatballs. not much people as yesterday was working days, so we feel relax and extra comfort choosing our food and eat peacefully.

i thought the pasta sauce is too watery for me. mushroom soup is good anyway. but, it's cold and i'm too lazy to go to microwave section to heat it up (bb did offer himself to go though) :B

then, we did a little shopping at Ikea. thought to do some window shopping, but being me, i always end up buying something (=.+). i bought a picture frame and a chair cover/cushion for my office. well, there's a story behind it. i thought the chair's cover cost only rm5.90, that's why i took it. but, when we went to cashier, i was surprised to see our total spent is rm50++. so, i checked the receipt back, and the cushion actually costed rm25.00 (+.+) i really don't have much money in my account but i have to pay for this...waaa! lucky me i'm on my leave yesterday and today plus, we're approaching weekend, and another thing, my salary would be in about next week. so, i won't be spending any..hehe. phew. lucky bb paid for the shopping first, or i'll end up be crying at the counter as i don't have enough cash in my purse. haha. a lesson for me. bb kept on teasing me after that :B

there's no such thing a cushion this thick would only cost you rm5.90..it's near to impossible i guess (-_-)

as for today, had a little project compiling all the pictures and making them into collage for my newly bought frame. soo....this is the result:

heee~ it's a double sides frame! :D can't wait to put them on my office table tomorrow!

ok, until then...toddles~ ;D

Satay event

2011-01-16T17:48:00.013+08:00

a laugh a minute

2011-01-16T14:24:00.004+08:00

totally a good book. bought it through Reader's Digest promotional flyers which attached together with my monthly Reader's Digest delivery. received it last monday and been reading it the whole week each time i came back from stressful day at work. totally totally a good book. have a good laugh reading this. spent about rm160 for this and totally worth it! it's a compilation of good jokes from Reader's Digest magazine. i strongly suggest you to get one! people say when you laugh a lot, u will appear younger than your actual age. maybe after i finished reading this, i'll be 18 year-old, perhaps? haha.

quickie update

2011-01-16T11:56:00.000+08:00

it's been ages since i last updated my blog. i've been busier, things are getting heavier, workloads are getting more burdening and plus some other things. i left home for work before sunrise and back home when sun is already set. seriously, i feel like quitting when there's some internal issues which i can't (obviously) write here. but, thanks to other colleagues who are very supportive and keep me laughing when things are getting difficult :')

anyway, cut the crap things off. what's important is to keep my mind free and be positive. oh, did i tell you yet that my sister is getting married? opps, she already does where she had her solemnization in Russia, but the reception gonna be held this upcoming February on 5th. so, anyone who read this blog, if you feel like coming, please do so! ;D i'm going to make an event invitation (if i have time!) on Facebook. if i don't, don't be shy, just come ok. it's going to be held at Dewan Dato Hormat, Bandar Sunway. the landmark is easy, my house is opposite Sunway Lagoon.

my parents and i are getting busier these days making all the preparation WITHOUT the bride here. so, it's gonna be quite a hassle for us to decide on theme, dress and such as we are worried what we chose aren't really fit the bride's taste. but, insyaAllah, we managed to do that. preparation is about 70% done which the rest are small things to be done prior to the reception date and need a helping hands from relatives to do so like filling goodies in door gift bag, fill hard-boiled eggs in its casing and such and such and such. plus, my parents also need to go to relatives' houses every weekend and sometimes weekdays' nights to invite and give cards. imagine how hectic we are? pffft. i never knew organizing a wedding gonna be this hard. lots of quarrel because of different opinions and taste, time consuming to evaluate all the caterers list and to book early. surveying stuffs for door gift, dividing tasks..bla..bla. but at least, it taught me to work harder to save money for my own wedding later (which to tell the truth, i haven't save any yet...)

what's more to update eh...oh, bb and i are doing just fine. it just that i'm getting busier and he's working in shift, so it make it quite impossible for us to frequently meet. but, we make sure we have our weekly dinner. the downside is, we only can meet for a short time..sob..sob :'( can't wait for this wedding to be over and then i'll be free on weekends again! ;D

i think, that's all for now. not much ain't it? haha. thanks for reading...hihihihihihih :P

awesome!

2011-01-01T23:01:00.001+08:00

seriously a cool blog. ease my mind everytime i read it.

stock refill

2010-12-26T22:23:00.004+08:00

went to Subang Parade with bb just now. well, just to spend time together since i'll be busy next week. took a chance to buy my working stocks at Cold Storage. heee~what i meant by stock is....

this is only half of them. i don't know, sitting infront of computer for whole day making me hungry all the time. keep on munching to avoid from sleeping on the keyboard and, to fill my never ending hunger at work. i think, i'm gaining weight. don't have enough courage to scale my weigh since i noticed recently that my jeans are too tight on me and i'm no longer uses last hole on my belt..

Derrick & Team

2010-12-26T21:45:00.006+08:00

did i inform you guys that my team has won the best team in achieving highest successful rate in my department? okayh, it's no longer a question, there's an answer in that statement :P ok, so, as for the winning prize, my team has won a hair spa package at Derrick & Team saloon at Maju Junction. haha, must be weird to hear such prize isn't it? well, in my department, majority of the staffs are women. the men only can be counted by finger. so...............definitely the prize is perfect for us :P

the period to claim the prize is only valid until 31st december, so, last week, my officemate, Syaz and i, went to this saloon to claim our prize. we thought it's a perfect time to relax our head & mind after stressful day at work. too bad, on the contrary, we get more stressful instead! the saloon is so pack with people, probably because the next day is Christmas, so, they did our hair so "cincai". the treatment suppose to take about 2 hours and more, but, they did that within a short time. the package supposedly include treatment, wash, cut & blow. i did all that, but too bad for Syaz, that she was cheated by her hairdresser. she was told that she need to add rm15 for the special hair treatment and she agreed to that. when it comes to payment time, suddenly she was charged rm30! and, she also told me that if she wanted to cut her hair, she needs to pay separate price for haircut! poor for her :( lucky that my hairdresser is so nice ;p

another thing.................because of the hair treatment, i was late for my date with bb!! sorry dearie, i thought i can steal 1 hour time to do my hair, never thought that it would take times :(

thanks CIMB for such fabulous prize. i considered it as fabulous as i never had hair treatment before. Ha Ha Ha.

christmas gift exchange

2010-12-22T20:32:00.009+08:00

christmas is approaching soon. well, it's not like i'm celebrating it. no. but, every year at CIMB, they would held a christmas gift exchange among staffs at every department. for this year, they already put a minimum of rm20 for the gift's value. i quite understand of this rule because this is to avoid some people cheating by giving cheap stuffs which would be unfair those who receive it. well, anyway, the process is going like this, we were required to give ourselves a pseudonym and write them on paper. then, after all pseudonyms are collected, each of us had to pick randomly that pseudonym to determine to whom we would buy gift for. i chose a name Fleur. well, it is stand for "flower" in French :P

all the gifts must be brought last Monday and were arranged under a small christmas tree in our office.

look at them. so colourful right??

so, today was the day of the presents giving ceremony. all of us were gathered around at this tree's area, and each of us were called forward to receive the gifts. on the presents' surface, we already pasted the pseudonym of the receiver and our name. so, the name called are based on that. it's a very relaxing and a cheerful short moment to escape from work and had a laugh since some of the pseudonyms are so funny.

guess what i've got:

jeng jeng jeng..a very bright red-coloured bag..what could it be?

tadaaa!!!!
OMG. i'm loving it to bits!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and now i can replace my ugly looking paper bag..yippeee!!

i was sooooooo excited to receive this gift because well, first, i bring home-packed lunch everyday and i need a proper bag to place my food containers. i already searched for it at Ikea, Parkson and Jusco but couldn't find any. sooo...can you imagine how excited i am to receive this?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it can be sooooo convenient to be brought on train, it is more neat, lighter, and you are worry-free from the thought that your paper bag might be leaked & tear up.

i guess, maybe this person who given me this gift already know who i am. maybe she/he already looked at my real name at the pseudonyms' list and see me that i bring home-packed lunch everyday and eat at pantry :P seriously, i'm so thrilled and excited, well, till now. of course, all my colleagues laughed and say that this gift fits me perfectly since my tumbler also broken due to my stupidity filled my tumbler with hot water. haha. i think the person who gave me this Tupperware set is a Tupperware dealer? :-?

oh, by the way. for this activity, me myself gave a Body Shop shower gel + lotion set. it's the fastest and easiest gift i could find because Body Shop already put their products in pretty boxes + baskets for Christmas celebration. hihihihi :P

yes, must be you guys thought it's not good for Muslim like me to celebrate others' festive but, as i always believe, this is not i wanted, but i work there, so, i'm just doing my part as a worker. i take it as my other job responsibility and no intention at all to celebrate or even to praise over at others' festive celebration. what's important is respect and your real intention. so, chill lah! :P

2010-11-30T19:29:00.006+08:00

finally, after 1 month of waiting, i get this! weehuuuu~

the fact that i don't need to queue up to get visitor pass really excites me. haha. and and, another fact, i don't have to be like a statue in front of entrance door everyday waiting for someone to open it for me since my visitor pass can't access it. double yeays!

p/s: i owe my blog on convocation entry. already had a draft on it. just to lazzzzy to upload the zillions pictures. the truth is, i'm still waiting for my photographer to upload my convocation pictures. can't wait to see them!

convocation

2010-11-28T18:45:00.004+08:00

alhamdulillah, my convocation this year went smoothly. had so much fun during the event. well, it was quite boring actually because my turn in #2!!! i had to sit on the front row and had to act formally with all the ethics and stuffs because any minor fault movement would bring attention from the chancelors and big persons which sat in front of me. pffft. then, we had to wait all the names to be called on stage before adjourning the event. seriously, my butt's hurt resulted from sitting too long and acted innocently. even so, i managed to snapped some pictures and replying some messages but, i have to put on straight face after that when those people on stage looking at me! ;p

this year, we arrived earlier because we wanted to park at the parking area closer to the hall. since nenek and atuk were joining, so, it would be more convenient because, if else, we had to park at the field and took a bus to the hall. how can senior citizens ride on bus?!! taking a lesson from my last convocation, this year, i use a photographer to snap pictures of my convocation. well, it would be easier because i had no one to snap my pictures. yeah. i feel free without carrying my bulky camera around because if i do, i have to snap others and i'm not in them and at the end, there's no myself in my own camera. oh, what am i blabbering about? haha. too excited i guess.

the convocation event finish about 11.30am! too late for me. i guess because pro-chanselor is too friendly that he chatted each of every graduate on stage! he even made quite a long speech afterwards :P seriously, i had fun for this convocation. it's even greater than the last one. my grandparents & parents made it to my convo, i got someone to snap my pictures (which turn out great!!), bb's parents came too, both my grandparents & parents got the opportunity to sit comfortably at VIP's seats and had great view, i finally got a chance to snap photos with my besties, Intan & Pia, we had the studio photos comfortly with air-conditioned space..bla..bla, the list goes on ;p

we arrived home around 3.30pm after taking studio photos at Intekma. it was hell lot of energy suck out, but i thought it was totally worth it because i was surrounded by my love ones. thanks everyone for making my day even sweeter than it already is. my close friends since diploma, my parents & grandparents and for sure, most important of all, my ehem..ehem ;p i really proud of you, seeing you on stage nearly made me cry. (yeah, a bit emotional i am). congrats to you love! :'*

i'm a bit upset that i didn't have a chance to photograph from my own coursemates but it's ok, because we had a group photoshoot a week before. can't wait to see them all! good luck on future undertakings guys! seriously, knowing everyone is moving forward now from our last meeting, really making me proud to be someone part of their life. :')

master? got an offer to further in Master of Hospitality, and the registration going to be held this December but i thought maybe i'll put it on hold first. need to raise a stable fund for study..hihi. plus, maybe i wanted to continue study on different courses. something gotta do with MBA or business things. i hope it's the best decision i made. haven't fixed yet :)

well, that's all i think. quite a long entry. hope you guys not bored reading this (though u already were). pictures will be followed up soon!

p/s: thanks Allah swt for your blessing on that day and granted us with good health to make us available on one of my important days ;) Alhamdulillah.

happy convocation.

2010-11-20T20:20:00.006+08:00

we took our convocation robes today. (note: convocation would be on 26th november). then, we had some photoshoot with piji's brother around shah alam and uitm. it was hell a lot of fun today!!! below are some pictures snapped by my camera. hee~ nothing much. more pictures will be uploaded soon. or, maybe you can see it at my facebook :) still in the process of uploading though..

shopping with my mother

2010-11-14T19:29:00.005+08:00

today, we went to abah's officemate's wedding somewhere in Puchong. i followed them because mother told me that she wants to go to IOI Mall to buy some stuffs for the "big event" on the way back home. but, instead, abah dropped mother and i at Sunway Pyramid whilst he's going home. well, it would be better shopping without a man anyway! we can take our own sweet time surveying the items :P so, with our baju kurung and high heels (=.=') are definitely not a good choice of attire to go shopping. limits our movement, well mine specifically because mother wearing flat shoes.

there were sales here and there!! ok, i felt quite dissapointed today because mother and i bought bras at Audrey because there were 50% off by 4 items and above. actually, i prefer and Pierre Cardin's but i'm worried that it's not going to have sales at Parkson. so, i just grabbed two at Audrey. then, we went to Parkson to buy some men's apparel (for the "big event") and i was soooo pissed when i saw there were Pierre Cardin lingerie with 50% less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the price just rm5 differs from Audrey's!!!!! and..and..it comes with set!!!!!! no! seriously i am pissed T_T ahh...surely, i'll come again next week to grab my favourite lingerie. cannot tahan meh. haha.

i also bought myself a flask at Coffee Bean to bring to my office. my initial plan was to buy a flask at Starbucks. but, this one at Coffee Bean has tea strainer inside. so, it would be easier if i wanted to make myself a tea..hee~ stressed ambience at work definitely could be eased by hot calming tea. of course it is slightly pricey than the one at Starbucks (i think because of tea strainer?) and i don't know what came into me that i bought the flask together with a tin of tea leaves (=.+) maybe i was attracted by its cute box and colourful tea tin? mother said it is expensive but i kept on telling her, it's an investment. haha >:) eh, wait. am i sounded like Rebecca Bloomwood??

so, here goes my new flask. jeng jeng.

these two gonna sit at my office table starting tomorrow B-)

we finished our shopping's mission around 5pm. still, i'm not getting myself shoes yet T_T i wanted to buy one since last few weeks but today i felt pity to see my mother to walk more especially with all shopping bags that we carried. if it were me, i don't mind walking here and there to find my perfect shoe. hehe. oh yes, we brought so many shopping bags with us and mind you, including two pillows which each was hanged on our shoulder (=.+) i can't imagine myself wearing baju kurung, with heels, plastic bags in both hands and a pillow on my shoulder. daa.

anyway, as usual, abah picked us up at Pyramid's entrance. that's it for the entry "shopping with my mother". thank you for reading! hehe :P

PTD exam!

2010-11-13T18:52:00.004+08:00

as planned, today i went to Putrajaya to sit for my PTD test. the test location was at Precint 18 primary school. ok, i hate to talk about this school actually because it's soooooooo huge!!! soooooo organize....sooooooo modern, sooooo clean, soooo...ok, no other words. hey kids, you are so lucky and yet spoil! i envy them..huh!!

the test...erm, i thought it was quite difficult especially for common knowledge part. although i've bought "Malaysia Kita" book, but i haven't finish reading them. since i've already started working, i'd be too busy to read because there's load of works to be done. i also couldn't be able to read in the train because everyday train is packed with people which you barely can move a finger! (=.=) so, so. i just crossed my fingers and answered them all. seriously, there are many things i don't know and some i never heard of it. haha. i know, i may sound stupid because it's my own mistake, again for being i-don't-care such of person. i don't read newspaper that much. i don't bother to watch news that much. i don't care what happen everywhere else. how ignorant i am and that cost me in this exam T_T

then, we had some mathematics test. this is my favourite of all because i love maths so much (which some i already forget how to do it). i really love maths, but you need to exercise more on this subject to be excel. being in hospitality schools, we don't really do maths that much like i did in school before. it's more to business maths like accounts, finance and something like that. after that, we also had to write an essay in both Malay and English. writing an English essay was fine with me because English is our medium language at university for 5 years and i already use to it (although not that good, but still can survive). but, writing in Malay really really really difficult for me since the last essay i wrote was when i was sitting for my SPM! it's 6 years ago!!! i don't know how to interpret my arguments, how to use the sentences properly (conjuction, verbs and all), and often, i found myself having difficulties in spelling T_T

met syaza (my former classmate) during the first break. luckily i brought some kuih and biscuits from home because there's no canteen open! what's the use of break anyway when we can't get ourself a food? huhuhu. it's just waste of time and it make me even tired of waiting. so, syaza and i just chatted while waiting for time to pass. we done with our PTD exam at 4.45pm. so tired although we just sit and answering questions.

seriously, i have a bad feeling with my exam today. well, anyhow, it depends on our luck and rezeki. if Allah s.w.t says this job is belong to me, then it would. but, if not, i'll maybe sit for this exam again next year. well, with better preparation of course. hee~

cute tables & chairs! yeah..they might appear so cute. but i have back ache because they're so low that i had to duck lower to write T_T

so colourful!!! i remembered my days being as "Ketua Kecerian" for 4 years straight! hee~~ wait, why they have projector???? fuh. canggih!!

this school is so huge that i thought some spaces are waste without any use

birthday mother

2010-11-11T21:10:00.004+08:00

yesterday was my mother 47th birthday. happy birthday to you mother! may Allah grant you with happiness & love. this is what i gave her..hee~

actually, i'm myself really wanted to eat this......but using my mother's birthday as excuse :P heee~

meja ku

2010-11-10T21:06:00.004+08:00

as promised, this is my working table. my sanctuary (ceh!), my muse and my bed? in my dream only. makan pun terkejar2. haha.

it's still empty. no decoration yet. don't have time & money to buy stuffs to make it prettier. it's boring & lame. i know.

today is quite bad day to me. well, today is our first day making the accounts by ourself without any supervision. we've been given a list of 20 accounts, and i only could attempt 15 of them T_T well, maybe because i've stolen some of time doing photocopy and such. haih. i need to increase my kpi (key performance indicator) and making more accounts in limited time. another bad things is, i have "ketumbit" on my eye. don't know what it called in English. it was my first time ever having this. it still on the early stage but i really feel discomfort T_T it limits my movement and i feel like rubbing my eyes every hour. haih. please go away this pain please.

footnote: i envy government servant. seriously.

rebonding

2010-11-06T22:32:00.003+08:00

another entry for tonight! why am i so excited like there's thousands of people out there reading my blog? (=.=) anyway, today, i did rebonding to my hair B-) ahaha. i used to done it before, about december last year. but as my hair grows longer, it started to get wavy, thick, dry and difficult to handle too. i browsed over at Pyramid first and as i read at A Cut Above's poster, it stated there that it cost rm160 for rebonding which is done by trainee. so, i asked the receptionist about it. she mentioned that if i want my hair to be done by trainee, i must make an appointment first and they're only available only weekdays (Monday-Friday). so, i replied and asked, do they available during night because i'm working on weekdays and it's office hours. she just simply replied "that's your problem". i was like "wtf!! how dare you talking to your customer like that?", but as always, only in my head. she was so rude that making me shocked. so, i just quiet and left.

being in hospitality school for 5 years, that was the most "rude" answer ever recorded. she has no manners answering me back like that and for sure, she lose one potential customer. doesn't mean that A Cut Above is prestigous saloon in Malaysia, she can treat customer like that although she/he might not a high-end customer. seriously, you can't be bias by only describing the customers on appearances only. he might wears and t-shirt or singlet, but he might be one of millionaires! i really hate it when any SA treats customers like that.

so, anyway, i did my hair at one of the saloons outside Pyramid. it cost me about rm200. but the hair dresser is soo nice and sweet. she really treats her customer nicely and make me feel as comfortable as home. it took me about 4 hours to get it done. but, i guess, i'm satisfied with the result. i thought i look more feminine with this look. heee~

stack them up!

2010-11-05T22:05:00.005+08:00

today my mother decided to clean up her prayer room by moving my two book shelf. well actually, we've been cleaning up our house since past few weeks. my parents already moved their stuffs like dresser table, closet and other old furnitures to my hometown and later, they want to stock up new ones. this is all for the big day to come next year.

ok, moving on, my mother already moved all my text books in storage box (it's sad to see them being stored actually because they are all expensive :( but we need a space in our little house). mom persuaded me to sell my books and i replied "no way in heaven i would do that!" i love all my books and i treasured them. cewah. mother already moved my 2 tiny book shelf, so i have to transfer all my novels to the other rack which the only space available is so limited to place them all :(

if you see the pictures below, you can really understand by what i meant "limited". i have to stack all the books (which personally i hate to do that but what choice do i have?). the best thing is, these aren't all the books i have. i have some other which my friends borrow, and some at my hometown. arghh! how can i arrange all these books? :( my plan is to browse for a tall/slim rack at Ikea when i get my first salary :P hoih, mampu ker? hutang dah la banyak..hohohoho

my treasures

the collection so far which to be added soon.

photo session

2010-11-04T22:25:00.002+08:00

here are pictures taken from my office mate's phone during fire drill practice last Tuesday :P

my very first job, ever

2010-11-02T22:06:00.013+08:00

hey hey! little updates on me. well, i've been busy so far. so so busy. busy bee. haha. how many 'busy' there :P i've started working already at CIMB Bank at the HQ, KL. well, it is next to Sogo and best part is, my office is soooo near to Jln Masjid India, Jln TAR. heaven of textiles. i already can see where my money would go for my first salary :P it was tiring everyday with the journey because i'm taking Komuter and ride with my mother to go to KTM Station. being her, she would go out early (well, before 7am to be exact!). so, everyday i arrived Bank Negara KTM Station around 7.30am whilst my working hour would only start at 8.45am. since i'm not having staff pass yet, so it would be quite difficult for me to access.

my first and second day bring a heavy dizziness to me because i need to understand all the computer system and software and memorize all the steps. it's really really complicated. i was assigned a buddy, As, to show me all the systems and how it operate and memorizing, taking notes all the commands involve. i was so sleepy whenever i see all the numbers and codes.

poor me that today we had a fire drill practice. the moment they put on the emergency alarm, we were told to get down by stairs. pfffttt! my office is at 13th floor. imagine! well, i can consider myself as lucky as CIMB Bank HQ has about 30 floors. if i were about to be placed at 3oth floor, i think that i would die because of exhausted rather than on fire. haha. so, everyone were gathered at the waiting area, read: under lrt station, opposite Sogo and in front of CIMB Bank entrance. well, imagine now how much attention we freely get? (=.=) we were waiting about 2 hours under hot sunny day. i'm myself almost faint (because i have low blood pressure) because i was too tired.

above all, i feel comfortable with my my office environment. it's not room definitely, just a cubicle for each. i've got huge table, i already daydreaming what i wanna put to decorate the table and my partition wall :P i'll upload the picture soon enough ok! so, basically, my job task is to contact loan borrower and to update their account data. my department name is retail collection. everyday, we would be given a list of "uncontactable" borrowers and try to contact them using numbers in the system. is a bit challenging and tricky because majority of borrowers (especially those who have high outstanding balance) are very difficult to trace. they would barred the line, change numbers, block incoming calls, not answering calls and so on when they know bank is looking for them. that is why my team is called "investigation team". well, does it sounds like CSI to you? haha. it sounds fun, i know, but we had to at least having successful calls at least 60 persons per day. our performance will be based on that :(

anyway, i'm just hoping for the best with this job. i am thankful that i've got work with normal working hours. although the salary might seem a bit low, but for me, my happiness and convenience that matters the most :) i thought, it's not too bad for a start isn't it? hehe.

here's are some pictures during fire drill practice. during time like this, i really wish that i have phone with good camera quality.

last but definitely not the least, picture in toilet :P

alhamdulillah :)

2010-10-28T23:45:00.005+08:00

like i've mentioned before, i went for an interview at CIMB last week. alhamdulillah, last monday i received a call telling me that i was accepted. and today, i went to HQ to collect the offer letter. well, i got a call around 10am and they wanted me to come at 2pm to collect it. so, at 1pm, i got on train and straight to CIMB. i thought collecting an offer letter would be a simple process. turn out that i had to do medical check-up and such. luckily the panel clinic is just around the area. well, to be precised, it was opposite my old training area, Semua House. hehe. i really like the doctors there, really chatty & fun to talk with. doing the X-Ray all over again. damn. how many cells are dead this time Mr. Doc?? it's not like you're going to keep the X-Ray anyway. i think, so far i already have about 4 X-Rays. if only they could be framed. HAHA.

so, i got back with my huge envelope, collect the visitor pass again to give the medical check-up result. turn out, i had to get down again to open up my CIMB account as i don't have one. well, scanned the pass again, opened up the account and collect the pass again to go up. i guess, the counter kakak already recognized my face & my ic number as i kept on coming to her to collect visitor pass for about 3 times? haha.

after that, there's another thing arises, as i don't have any EPF number yet. it was already 4pm by then and i thought, "oh no, i'm not gonna scanned my visitor pass again and collect again and go up again for just a series of numbers". so, i told the HR officer that i would go to KWSP and just give him a call to inform my EPF number then. well, the process quite fast i must say. the office closed at 4.45pm and i got there around 4.15pm, phew :P

alhamdulillah, all my businesses are doing just fine today with Allah's help. i am really thankful that i finally got a job that i thought perfectly suit me. well, office hours that matters to be exact. the salary isn't that much, but still ok to me. as long as it could cover all my expenses & loan XD insyaAllah, i'll report my duty next week :)

The Switch

2010-10-26T22:08:00.003+08:00

anyway, remember my previous entry about barbecue weekend at my friend's house at Labu, Negeri Sembilan and my date? ok, this entry will be more specifically on my date. hehe. no, no, it's not about us. phew. haha. it's about the movie we watched. it's sooo many choices of movies and we gave it a go to The Switch because we assumed that if Jennifer Aniston in it, it would be funny and good movie. so, we sacrificed other goooooood movies by choosing it.

what i can say is...

it was FREAKING BORING!!! we leave the hall before we even finish it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's such a waste. seriously. Jennifer, why you turn me down like this T_T

good bye

2010-10-26T21:06:00.004+08:00

last night would be my last training at Vads academy, TTDI. well, it's ironic, because it was my first night trained at TTDI, and at the same time it was my last night also as trainee for Vads academy. it was quite a tough class i must say because we were exposed to product knowledge which is about computers and its components. to tell the truth, i am an IT blind. so, some of the explanations which seem so alien to me went through my mind without staying. haha :P

finish our class at 11.30pm. it was so sad to be separated from my friends who started to get close with me. well, it's a hard good bye i must say because we were having a very good time especially during our 1 week of soft skill training. but, whatever it is, life must go on, it's about my own future. grab every opportunity that comes in front of you because chances like that aren't available everyday. below are some of our pictures during training at Semua House. good luck and all the best guys! hope we'll meet again and thanks for the memories! ;)

with our fun & cheerful trainer, Mdm Uma

my group: Fire

ps: if you guys are happen to be posting at Semua House, let's have lunch together yeah?!

weekend get away

2010-10-23T20:19:00.012+08:00

i know it's already past but i still want to write an update here..hehe. it took me real guts to write them up! kept on delaying and saving without publishing :P ok, here goes. last week, my schoolmate friends held a barbecue at Manisah's place at Labu, Negri Sembilan. we already planned this about weeks before. we've invited some of our close friends to join but unfortunately, some of them can't make it. well, never mind, although it just 5 of us, but it's still a hell lot of FUN! we had Manisah, Beeb, Masyuni, Shima and me myself. before going to Labu, bb and i went for a date at Midvalley since the day before (15 october) was my birthday..hehe.

i arrived at Manisah's house at Labu around 5pm and as i arrived, i prepared the dishes immediately. well, i was given an honoured to be the head chef for this barbecue activity (=.=). i made garlic bread (from Delifrance french baguette), honey roasted chicken wings, tempura dipped dory with tartar sauce and mashed potato (instant). hehe.

it was seriously hell of fun! although most of us were exhausted with preparation, but still we had energy to laugh and fooling around with each other. after having our barbecue cum dinner, we spent our time by doing activities which normal girls would do. well, let's say that we did some make overs, gossiping and stalking people. haha. it was such a fun when we could exchange stories about our childhood & school. we slept verrrry late that night.

next morning, mas departed earlier because she had wedding to attend while all of us still lazy around and pulling up our blanket (specifically beeb and me..hehe). well, we just lazy around without doing anything up to noon! manisah, shima and beeb had other plans that evening, watching movie i guess, so beeb dropped me at Nilai KTM station. the journey via train from Nilai to Subang Jaya is very very very exhausting because the air ventilation was very poor. very slow air-conditioning, every coach was cramp with people and well, in such condition, for sure variety of smells arised.

it took me nearly 2 hours to get to Subang Jaya. my head was sooo dizzy and i felt like vomiting because i didn't had my breakfast yet that morning. bb who's already waiting for me brought me to Subang Parade to have lunch. there goes my weekend barbecue. i hope we could do it again some other time!

well, as usual, pictures are just...compulsary..hehe.

little updates

2010-10-21T19:54:00.003+08:00

my life's getting busier these days. i've already started my training as Customer Service Representative at Vads. well, Vads is actually a training centre for contact centres in Malaysia. companies that joined under this Vads are Celcom, Streamyx, Tmnet, AEON Jusco and more. for this week, we were having training which focuses on soft skill. i bet, some of you know what soft skills are. soft skills include presentation skill, face expression, communication, professionalism and such. so far, i really enjoyed being in this training, made new friends and having lots of fun in class. although the class is sooooo tiring because the trainer won't let our mind out from the class even for just a second. so, there's no chance for u to have your sweet daydreaming.

oh, anyway, Vads academy is located in several areas including TTDI where i went for the interview before. right now, i'm doing my training at Semua House. alhamdulillah, getting there is quite easy because i don't need to switch my train or such. i can just straight away stop at Bank Negara station from Setia Jaya. my only concern is when it comes to crossing the road. well, i know it's one way road but it's huge!! i am so afraid to cross because you know, Malaysian drivers especially at KL drive like a maniac sometimes!!

by the way, up to this day, i already done with my soft skill training. and starting next week, i'm going to start my system training at TTDI. damn!!! it's my major concern actually because getting there isn't easy. the best part is, the training going to be in shift which for next week, my groups are going to start our shift at 4.30pm. damn damn damn.

another thing, last thursday, i went for interview at CIMB bank at Jalan Raja Laut. well, i took half day off from my training since CIMB building is just located nearby :P the interview went ok and they really wanted me to start working next November. but, i still need a confirmation with Human Resource. i'm very worried because i really really really really wanted this job so bad!! it's working hours, near to KTM station and well, it's working hours!! pray for me yeah?!

first-timer bus rider

2010-10-13T16:09:00.002+08:00

today, i went for an interview at TTDI, Damansara. this interview is for well, as usual, customer service representative position. which company? well, if i were official, i'll mention in this blog ;) so, my father sent me there. the interview went ok. there were about 2 candidates and i was accepted but i haven't sign any contract yet. lucky that i had learned about Information System and some computer things in part 5 during my Bachelor Degree. so, it helped me a looooooot answering the questions (although it was my least favourite subject then, Alhamdulillah some stuffs are glued in my head ;p).

well, normally, if i had like interview or going alone at Damansara, i would take taxi to be safe and well, the easiest option it would be. but, since i'm in tight financial, whether i like it or not, i need to take up the bus. bb offered to fetch me but i don't want to burden him since he's already moved and it would be quite hassle for him to come here. Alhamdulillah, Allah helped me a lot by giving me someone to show me where the bus stop at, and lessen my time waiting for the bus. as being told, i must take bus number 82 to go to KL Sentral. stupid me, why don't i just take bus straight to Sunway instead. haha. (err...what's the bus number eh? haha) forgive me for being the first timer please. it would be to the hubs for the route which are Bandar Utama and KL Sentral. so, i thought the bus would go straight to KL Sentral. it had indeed stopped at Bandar Utama.

i thought they wanted to switch driver. as i waited in the bus - alone, the driver gave me a quick odd glance which i couldn't interpret it. then, about 10 minutes later, came one Rapid KL officer asking me "Miss, where are you going?". at that moment, i realize that "OMG. this bus is stop for real!". i made up my most-innocent-naive look, smiled a bit and said "oh, i'm going to KL Sentral, do i need to switch the bus?". hahahah. i was too embarrassed!! lucky there were not so many people were there. YES, I NEED TO SWITCH THE BUS! IDIOT! haha.

so, i stepped down and climbed up another number 82 bus. fuh. this time i was right, this bus was straight going to KL Sentral. it just that, well, being a bus, of course, it stopped at every bus stand. wasted my time in there. lucky i brought my novel with me. but, it's not too comfortable reading in a bus actually as the seats are too slippery where, with my tiny body, i can easily fall down whenever the bus stop/brake. haha. Alhamdulillah, i arrived KL Sentral safe and sound. got my self a take-away lunch and settle some things at the bank. i arrived home at 2.00pm and again, abah already waited for me at Mentari Court.

my lesson for today is, i should practice and keep on practicing using public transportation. haha. Train done, LRT done, Monorail done, Bus done, what else?? hahahaaaha.

movie & double toilets

2010-10-10T13:26:00.007+08:00

yesterday, bb and i went for a date, well, again. this time, we went to OU. to tell the truth, we usually having a hard time choosing a place to go out because everywhere is just the same. nothing can be so great about shopping malls unless you have money and only then, everywhere would do! haha. so, we watched a movie titled "Dinner for Schmuck". it's a very very very good movie. soooooo hilarious!! Steve Carell is a total star! i really love his act ever since i watched Dan in a Real Life. i laughed from the beginning of movie till the end. it's very recommended for you guys to watch it too.

too bad, i had my period that day!!!!!!!! unlucky me. i had to search for pharmacy to get my sanitary pad. spoiled my date a bit (=.=). didn't bring any supply since it suppose to be like in a week. anyhow, at OU's toilet, i saw something that caught my eye. double toilet bowls in one toilet room. err..can't imagine? here goes the picture:

see...do you get what i mean?

i think it is soooooo cute. well, actually, the function isn't strictly for cute purposes only. hehe. you know that usually a little girl/boy would follow their mother in toilet. so, by having this double toilets, it would be much easier and convenience for the mother to manage her daughter/son and her need too at the same time in a spacious area.

Job Fair Again!

2010-10-08T20:18:00.003+08:00

so, as i planned, i went to Job Fair today at Midvalley Exhibition - ALONE. i don't mind going there alone anyway because i can do what i want to do without considering other opinions/thoughts. hehe. abah dropped me at KTM station as early as 8.30am. i wanted to go early, so that i can go back after Jumaat Prayer. as usual, the train is packed with people and with poor ventilation, i'm hardly breathing. lucky i have my novels & Reader's Digest to keep my mind out of it. i arrived at Midvalley around 9.30am, and there was a looooooooooooooooong queue at the exhibition entrance. i was like "oh come on, no matter how soon or late, we still going to get in there, why bother to waste time queuing?". so, i had my McD muffin and book in hand sitting at one corner isolating myself from others. which, i regret later because i forgot that the first 50 early visitors will get free Job Street teddy bears. they already mentioned it in email and i thought it just a TY bears, but turned out, it's a medium-sized teddy bear. duh. rugi rugi. haha.

i only brought 6 CVs, this time, learning from my mistakes, i questioned each booth i went until i am fully satisfied and not just randomly dropped my resume like last time. i just don't want to get cheated again or wasting my time going to the interview which at the end, the offer is suck. so..i dropped them at _______ haha. i hope they would reply to me soon. around 11am, i already not comfortable with the surrounding and by no more CVs in hand, i got out. people kept on coming like endlessly. today is Friday, i can't imagine how pack this place would be tomorrow.

i thought of going straight back home, but it's Friday, so definitely by the time i arrived, i have to wait for abah to finish his Jumaat prayer. so, i killed my time went to MPH and looking for my grandmother's requested book. i got myself a copy of all-time-favourite novel "To Kill A Mockingbird". blame the story in Reader's Digest i read in train that makes me so curious to read this book. it's ok, because it's quite cheap anyway :P so, there goes my day. i hope i will not attend any Job Fair again after this (if you know what i mean).

so, this would be the continuation of previous post on Bank Islam customer service. from what i've learned, i called them last night, around 12.00am and i am easily get through. so, this would be a lesson for me if i want to call customer service in future. as i had planned, i asked them about the extra balance in my account and as i expected, that customer agent said he already received a report on the mistake done. it was supposed to be someone else's payroll but mistakenly deposited into my account. they already took them out on 28 September. fuhh. i feel my burden has gone because if the money still in my account, i will not be calm because it isn't mine.

enough about that, so, last week my mother held another small open houses for her office friends. i wanted to go to Pia's open house, but, since my mother needed a hand to help her, i had to cancel it. i've invited some of my close friends too, not much because the first plan was to have only my mother's friends. turned out, some of her friends canceled it! lucky all my invited friends came, so, it would be no waste on food. still, there's about a pot of curry noodle gravy left. my mother freeze them in freezer because the longer we keep it, the taste is better because all the spices well blended. same goes with Tom Yam too.

my mother prepared curry noodle, stir fried pressed rice, soy pudding & trifle pudding. while i prepared 3 types of cupcakes and sausage roll. alhamdulillah, every food turned out good but not many tried stir-fried pressed rice because i guess, it's a new recipe and not so common at any open house. i had a great time meeting with friends which most of them i didn't see quite sometime. thanks from my heart to my school friends: Masyuni, Manisah & Beeb, my Uni friends: Intan & friends, Aliza & Zhafran and my special guest of course, bb ..hehe :B

lousy customer service

2010-09-30T20:57:00.002+08:00

remember my previous post about someone deposited rm600 into my Bank Islam account? well, today i'm trying to sort it out by calling Bank Islam customer service. i've tried and tried and tried like freaking whole day (well, including night), but no one pick up my call!!!! LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! they've put me on hold before connecting me to their customer service and the answer machine kept on telling me that i should wait wait wait and wait because their customer agents are busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aduyaiiii!!

for how long i have to wait?? i know when they're trying to solve my problem, it would be another time taken, i'll understand it. but, this time i just want my call to be connected. that's all!!!! seriously, lousy lousy lousy. GERAM!

decision decision

2010-09-29T13:08:00.004+08:00

some of you might know that i supposed to start working yesterday as dated 28 September. yes, i did come, but at the end, i turn the offer down. why? so, bear with me. it's maybe gonna be another long entry (like my entries before aren't long enough already)

so...as agreed, i have confirm with them that i wanted to work at Italiennies. i even bought new working clothes!! so, yesterday, i went to The Curve first to collect my offer letter and the contract. i was shocked to read the contract is different from what i have discussed during my interview before. at that moment, i have decided, "no, i don't want to do this".

the contract written that i should be bonded with Italiennies with 3 years before i can become a restaurant manager (yes, i am aware of that before). the problem is, it also written there that if i want to terminate, i have to pay for their training cost which definitely far more expensive than what i earn if i'm working there. the cost will be 6xbasic salary = more than rm10k!! i remember before, that i asked them a question is there will be any contract because i don't wanna be bonded with any contract and they replied no, it isn't. so, i felt cheated because i already confirmed with them to do this job.

the bottom line of this problem is, i was a JPA scholar student, and i am also applying jobs in government sector (of course, there is no answer yet). so, i don't wanna take the risk by accepting this job where at the end i have to bear with the cost to pay them. yes, they are saying that they have no problems to let me go if i want to work with government because that's my duty to serve with them and bla..bla, but hey, nowadays, paper speaks louder than words. people can say anything but at the end of the day, law will refer to paper. so, i don't wanna take any risk. i don't wanna fall with people's words easily because words are just words. these days, we're playing with paper & contract. i can stand if the contract is about a year or so, but this one is for 3 years!! of course they're persuaded me to sign but it's about me, about my life isn't it? the GM is soooo nice, she even said "although you may decide that you're not gonna work here, but i really want to know you and be nice to you". she even helped me to clear things out about the contract with my interviewer and such because she doesn't want me to be unhappy later if i were meant to work there.

i'm planning to further my study and such, so if i accept this offer, i would sacrifice it all and i'm questioning myself, am i willing to do that? well, no. of course i can do part time study, but when you're working 10 hours/day, 6 days/week, is there any time left for you? i don't think it's worth for what they're paying me. of course i am sad, because i was happy to get this job because i can manage both kitchen and serving area. but at the end i have to let it go while my majority of my friends already got jobs and enjoying their salary. when the GM walked me around the restaurant and briefed me, i felt so excited because i get to do what i've learned for the past 5 years. she even introduced me as manager to the staffs there. seriously, if there is no contract like that, i would definitely working there because waiting for the government call is like waiting for a bag of gold. but, like i said before, i don't wanna take any risk. i want to be secured and this is what i thought the best decision i made.

last week, when i went out on date with my bb *hehe*, i wanted to withdrawal some money. as usual, i checked my balance first before deciding what amount i shall use *sebenarnya, balance duit yang sangat la limited!*. i was so surprised to see my current balance is extra rm600!! i thought that i used somebody else's card, but when i checked it, it is mine because my signature on it *macam orang bodoh pulak perlakuan ni*. so, once again i inserted the card assuming that i have vision problem...still, the balance still the same with additional of rm600 extra! i called my parents immediately asking them do they deposited money to surprise me..and they replied no. well, obviously no way in heaven they would do that for surprise..haha.

when i back home, my uncles who work in bank said that sometimes bank does that particular mistake. we have the right to use that money because it is in our account which is obviously our private & confidential. it's difficult to trace and if they does, still we have the right to claim it because it is in our account and again, our P&C. so, it is bank's responsibility to replace back the money if the sender claim it. anyway, i still do not dare to use it. my uncles said, let's give it about a month and if no one claims it, i have the right to use it because it officially belong to me then. so, yippie to me! haha.

my cousin also has an experience like this one when somebody also deposited about rm1800 in his account. fuh. lucky him. haha.

new babies..hehe

2010-09-27T20:16:00.005+08:00

today i've received a parcel that i had been waiting for weeks!! well, ok, let me start from the beginning yeah. i've been eyeing and doing online shopping for books with one of my facebook friend. she sells books at seriously freaking cheap price!! paperback books for averagely around rm26-rm28 (normal price rm35), while hardcover books for rm32-rm38 (normal price at rm70-rm90++). cheaaaaaap isn't it? however, some of the books are sold very fast, so you have to browse at her page frequently to book your favourite books. although it may sometimes take time to wait for the availability of book, but it's really worth for the price you paid. so, add her up yeah? this is her link: http://ww w.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1717494411&ref=ts. or, you can search her by name: booksforcharity.

ok, back to my story. the parcel delivery man arrived my home around 1030am while i was still sleeping so i didn't hear their call. i don't know how long they've been standing outside but i guess, it's long enough to hear them making some rude comments while i was standing there signing the form. i know i looked awful with my just-wake-up face, but you can make that statements you know. not everyone is working office hour and has normal sleeping hours like you dammit!! however, i was too sleepy (plus without brushing teeth yet) that i didn't make any reply or they'll be sorry hearing that. let me just keep it to myself what they had said. enough about them. fullstop.

the parcel

i am soo happy to receive my books. they're finally here!!! i bought 3 books which are by Madeleine Wickham: Cocktails for 3 and The Gatecrasher and another one is from Cecelia Ahern: Thanks for the Memories. the books are soo pretty because they're hardcover which obviously freaking expensive at the book stores.

my new babies!

i'll start working tomorrow, so i don't know when can i start reading them :( anyway, my next books in my wishlist are by Madeleine Wickham too, which titled are Sleeping Arrangement and The Wedding Girl. they're already sold out, boo! so, i can't wait for them to be restocked!

date!

2010-09-27T14:07:00.010+08:00

last weekend, i was a bit tied up with activities. first, going on date with bb, second, my house having a bit of small makan-makan party and third, i went to some friends' and relatives' open houses. i didn't meet bb for weeks now, we haven't even met in this Raya month :( so lucky that bb got his off day on weekend, so, we went out :D the bad side was, my mother decided to hold some small feast party at my house on the same day! i'd already told her that i wanted to go out since last monday and asked her like thousand times is it ok to go out and leave her alone to handle the guest and she said it's fine that she could do it alone. but, at the end of the day, i had to delay my date to give her a hand in preparation (=.=). well, it's not really an open house, so don't feel sad i am not inviting because the ones who attended was my mother's siblings and some of abah's friends who coincidently were around. the menu of that day were Masak Lemak Cili Padi Rebung, Ikan Keli Goreng Bercili, Ayam Berempah & Pecal. the night before, i already made Marble Cake to be served along :P

ok, enough about that. let's back on bb and i topic :P we went to The Curve to spend time there. as usual, chatted with each other, eat bla..bla..well, what else a couple do? went to MPH there and guess what i've spotted?? it's Mini-Shopaholic in US edition!!! wahh..the cover is soo cute and sooo blue!! geram!! but, i already have one, so, i put it back on rack :P

then, another thing was.....i too spotted Madeleine Wickham's book, The Wedding Girl placed next to Mini-Shopaholic!! oh no!! i wanted this book soooo bad but it is sold out on Books-Internet-Shopping T_T felt like grabbing it, but unfortunately that this book is a paperback version. the one i wanted in internet is hardcover version which is a way cheaper that this. so, i guess i rather wait :(

i reached home around 5pm and i planned to invite bb to come in to eat because i thought my relatives were already home since mak invited them for lunch. but actually, it was a peak of the event since most of them arrived around 4pm (=.=) to my surprised, when i stepped in, everyone was eagerly waited to see my bb (=.=)'. luckily bb didn't come in or else he must be nervous to the maximum level! hehe :P mother said, let it be a surprise until our wedding!! haha. so, that's all about our date, and let me end it with our pictures! :P

gedik ain't it? i know..haha

Westlife?

2010-09-23T20:42:00.008+08:00

today, my entry is about reminiscing old memory of me being a teenager. well, to be exact, the period during my school days. but don't worry, i will not write my whole story life because it would be not enough space..haha. i just want to write about my favourite artist when i was young. everyone has their favourite celebrity am i right? only the level of favouritism differs from each other. some being too fanatic and moderately liking those artists. i was in..err..which group eh? actually, i was quite fanatic back then (malu nak mengaku).

i know, some people will wondering who i was sooo into then. i bet, my school friends know exactly who are they. it's *drumrolls* WESTLIFE. haha. okaayyy..you guys can laugh right now, i don't care. haha. but i guess, it's normal and typical back then for those who are in their twenties right now to liking boybands like Nsync, Backstreet Boys, A1, BBMak..bla..bla. do not lie that you guys also ever had a fantasy of marrying them right??? (ke aku sorang je?) hahahaha. SILLY.

seriously, i was so head over heels with them back then. i collected all their albums, posters, stickers, magazines and i even went to their concert!! for me, liking an artist has a bad side and good side too. in bad side, i guess everyone aware that these immature teenager being too fanatic that they don't focus on their study, keep on day dreaming and wasting money on them. for me, i have both sides. on bad side, of course, i admit that i wasting money buying anything related about them. until there is one quite extreme level that i even bought Chinese newspaper just because it had westlife picture featured in it although obviously i can't read Chinese. i also bought imported magazines which clearly freaking expensive. i saved up my school pocket money for it!

however, looking back what i did those days, i was thankful actually for making Westlife as my so-called idol back then :P to make a confession here, i was very very weak in English (well, still do!) when i was kids because i grown up with my grandparents who obviously couldn't speak in English nor understand them. my environment also contributed to my weakness. living at countryside area (Dengkil), most of my childhood friends and their parents aren't conversed in English. to summarize, i wasn't expose to it at all. i scored B for English in UPSR by the way. hehe.

but everything change when i stepped into secondary school (in a year 2000). must be you guys remember very well a song sang by Westlife "Flying Without Wings". i loved that song so much that i bought their album and it was a platform to change my life. i became too obsessed with them and i even memorized all the song lyrics. to like an English artist, of course just reading articles in local magazine wasn't enough right? especially when you are a kind of person who would cut all the pictures in magazine and collected them (yeah..that's me). so, i started buying local English magazine, Galaxie and only stop buying them when Galaxie transformed itself into a smaller size (i think they're cutting cost?). obviously, when you liking that artist so much, although i didn't understand a word in English, i forced myself to read it and kept on flipping the dictionary. can u believe it that i even translate the song lyrics?? English had been one of my most hated subject back then but it's all change because of Westlife! how great their influence in me..haha. i became more interested in English because i wanted to understand articles about Westlife especially the one that featured in international magazines like Smash Hits, Hitz, bla..bla.

many people said that i am way too obsessed with them including my parents for sure but today, when i looking back, i am thankful that i was such person then. liking somebody forced us to do anything and in my case, i loved Westlife too much that i'm willing to learn English. haha. well, as for today, i am no longer a person i used to be before. no longer a young teenage girl who collected all the posters and such. nor do i have any fanatic feeling over my favourite artists. :P

oh, another thing, although my English isn't that good, but it's enough for me to survive! haha.

pakwe-pakwe lama saya!

my Raya

2010-09-20T19:47:00.003+08:00

salam, as promised, here goes my Eid Fitri story (like anyone waits for it ;P). went back to my dearly hometown, Lenggeng, Negri Sembilan on monday with my Pak Busu. i purposely went back earlier as both my grandparents weren't too well. atuk just had his operation and his movements are a bit limited while nenek can't stand too long and can't walk much. so, i took care of them (or vice versa? haha) and doing some home chores. Raya this year is same as previous. nothing change that much. as usual, people coming are non-stop, and i even barely had time to breathe as i kept on refill drinks and serving food (although we had the buffet line!). usually, there were about 10 cars coming at one time for four days straight until fourth Raya!! can you imagine? alhamdulillah, Raya is only once a year (hahahah..can i be thankful for that?). alhamdulillah too, i still received duit raya from my relatives although im no longer a student *evil laugh*. i collected about rm__. good enough for me to buy some clothes for work! :P then, as previous years routine, we went back to abah's hometown to celebrate Raya there. as usual, visited abah's side relatives on second and third Raya. i stayed for another week at kampung to accompany my grandmother and being pampered by her before i start working next week because, maybe there won't be any long holidays like this once i start working :(

well..that's all. boring isn't it? haha. i guess, Raya for me would be defined differently as i get older. especially when we're the one who's giving angpau instead of receiving it. (haha, ada kena mengena ke?) but, it's a good thing to as i get older, i defined Raya as a day to meet all relatives and catching up with them. because, to pop up suddenly at their house with the excuse "to visit" on ordinary day, it would be like...awkward isn't it? especially when they're not so close ones. another story, some of them, i meet for once a year. some of them which i met at previous Raya, isn't here anymore for this Raya. well, that's life.

i did take pictures this year, but the quality isn't good enough because the spot we set up turn out badly once we captured it. we took pictures on a sofa which there was a glass cupboard behind. so, it showed a flash reflects on it :( another reasons are, i was too busy since our guest turn up too early and i was too tired to snap pictures because lacking of sleep. anyway, there goes my Raya. hope you guys having a great Raya! ^^

eid mubarak

takada ;(

2010-09-06T01:55:00.004+08:00

oh no! takada is sick again. he's got a fever, but fortunately this time, his temperature isn't so high like last time. after did some shopping at pyramid last saturday (with limited budget, of course!), abah and us sent taka off to veterinar somewhere in near ss15. well, as usual, he's got an injection and also a medicine. being a very very wild cat, he just can't sit quietly. even the doc said he is soo wild. haha. spoiled cat. alhamdulillah, taka is getting better, but his voice still hoarse and slow and his appetite also effected too. :(

thursday story

today, i went for another interview at The Curve for management position at Italiennies. junior management trainee it is. the interview went quite ok, it just that i fell asleep while waiting for my turn to be called :P one of the interviewer is Italian guy, so, i had a little difficulties communicating with him. i don't understand his English. his Italian accent too strong! reading my blurry face, he then said, don't be ashamed to ask anything i don't understand because his English is quite different. haha. with God's will, maybe i'll start after Raya. but, it is still under consideration and there is no black n white yet, just verbal confirmation. after the interview, i browsed around The Curve just to ease my mind (if only it's not fasting month!*i love the smell whenever i passed food booths/restaurants). went to Borders and bought a puzzle book, and then regretted over it because it is way too difficult! caught my eye of Mini-shopaholic display, and guess what, they sell them at 20% off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not fair!!! if only i waited for another 12 hours from last night purchase T_T fuh..fuh (inhale -- exhale) it's ok after all because bb gifted it to me anyway :P *thanks love! then, i got myself a lip care from Body Shop because during this fasting month my lips dried to the extreme level! i love the SA. so sweet and nice~ hee~

after that, i planned to take taxi to go to PPUM to visit my grandfather. too bad that they don't drive their passenger that far, so i asked them to send me to Kelana Jaya LRT station instead. i was cursing (in my heart of course) at each rate raised at the taxi meter. so FREAKING EXPENSIVE!!! rm11.80 from The Curve to Kelana Jaya LRT station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only God knows how much they would charge me if i took taxi to PPUM. took LRT until University station (way cheaper, phew) and then, take another cab to drop me at Medicine Faculty so that, i can walk towards the hospital from there. i refused to ask the taxi to send me straight to PPUM, because i'm worried that they would charge me higher since they have to take quite a distance route to reach PPUM. at first i had a thought that i rather walk from LRT station to Medicine Faculty, but i guess, i need to break my fast if i do. haha. there goes my money. sigh~

good news, atuk is scheduled to be discharged today! yipee! but, as usual, it took sometimse to settle down with doctor's report, payment bla. bla. my grandmother (my father's side) is also on her scheduled check-up today, so, i rode home with abah then since emak will be at the hospital to settle all the procedures. well well, looks like i am incharged to prepare for dinner tonight, that's why i need to get home with abah (=.=) anyway, there goes my day~ hehe

atuk and i

Mini-shopaholic, fuh!

emergency!

2010-08-29T01:14:00.003+08:00

for the past few days, my family and i been quite busy going to hospital because atuk is warded since last wednesday. the diagnose now is because of his intestine since it bleed again. last few months, in March, he was hospitalized due to same problem too but he did not undergo a surgery last time because he went well after taking a mild diet. so, anyway, maybe he has to undergo a surgery in this week but it depends on the operation schedule after all because my atuk did not queue for the surgery since his case is consider as emergency. let's pray for atuk's safety. may the operation goes well. amin~

government test

2010-08-22T19:40:00.006+08:00

last week, i went to UM to sit for government examination for the admin position graded N41. since my mother works there, so, she sent me then. who else anyway? haha. the exam starts at 9 am, but we arrived quite early, around 8am since mother always departs early to avoid traffic congestion (well, still have to face it tho!). this examination candidates are divided into 2 groups which are outside and inside candidates. inside candidates are those who works/study in UM itself. i had to take 2 papers which are English test and Aptitude test. there are roughly about 200 people that day!!! and the vacant position? i am pretty sure it's about less than 10 positions available. i think, i am among the youngest there since i kept glancing around others' slip (it stated ID number there). the rest are aged like 25 - 50. many are around 30 and above. ada jugak yang membawa perut :P

entrance

exam hall

since i had no idea what the tests gonna be like, so i didn't do any preparation. hati kering! for English test, we have to write an essay one out of three questions. first question is about why you want to work at UM --> nahh....no idea! second is what are the key skills required for Registrar --> nahhh....no idea AT ALL! and the third, is tips of effective communication. well, definitely i answered the third question! hehe.

hati kering..hueheheheheee

dup dap dup dap

next is on Aptitude test. this paper consists 40 questions and the question i must say, no need to study or reading, but COMMON SENSE is STRONGLY required! we have to read the question carefully and really understand the sentence structure before answering. plus, we have to think very hard every possibilities! seriously difficult. there are idioms, maths, quizzes and more. ok, let me give examples question that i remember (of course not in exact sentence nor answer anyway):

1- there are 20 hens. all but 2 died. how many are still alive? (this one quite easy)
A- 18
B- 2
C-10
D-none is alive

2- One house is build with rectangular shape with every sides facing Southern sun. then, one bear comes to that house. what is the colour of that bear? (I've got it wrong. i have no idea at all. i answered brown, but the true answer is Black T_T)
A - white
B - black
C - Brown
D - Grey

for Aptitude test, many candidates left the exam hall earlier. i don't know whether it's too easy for them or too difficult and they giving up? anyway, i am satisfied with my performance for English test, but not too confident for Aptitude test. i just leave the rest to Allah. if i were meant to be there, then, i'll be.

CSE

2010-08-19T21:19:00.006+08:00

salam to all~
today i went for another interview at Citibank somewhere at Jalan Ampang as CSE. the interview suppose to be held at 10am, but as usual, i arrived quite early, that is around 9.15am or so. luckily the building is next to LRT Ampang Park, so, i don't have to walk much or craning my neck here and there to find the exact building/route. i want to tell here, isn't about the interview really, but the time wasted there. yes, most candidates arrived sharply at 10am, but their negligence to prepare themselves cost me too!! can you imagine, they go for an interview without bringing their resume? just the certificates alone? and...the certificates also not the photocopied sheet. the best part was, one of them did not prepare resume at all!! so, nice kakak there asked them (2 of them) to go to Ampang Park Mall which is opposite Citibank to type and to print all the requirements. what a waste of time! then, there was one of them did not know what is CV or what CV stands for and asked me what it means (=.=). after a while, one of them return (Indian girl) from Ampang Park and we have to wait for another one. turned out, when the Chinese guy return, he did not print his resume! it gets me weird because he also from the same recruitment agency as mine. i have the list, does he has one too? so, that Chinese guy has to come back tomorrow. then, we were brought to have a tour at Call Centre Department (Level 12) and then return back to Level 6 (Citiphone Department) for the interview session.

the meeting/waiting room

since i am the only Malay and i was the first to arrive, so, i am the first candidate to be interviewed while the other 2 went for lunch. this was the longest waiting of all!! i was told to be seated at the meeting room/waiting room at 11.00am and the interviewer arrived at 12.00pm!!!!!! luckily i brought a novel, so i killed my time by reading tho. i almost fell asleep actually waiting. all the nerves are gone already. the waiting part for interviewer didn't really make me mad because as an applicant, i don't mind waiting because it's me who wanted that job. it made me pissed to other candidates who did not bring their resume and such and wasted my time waiting for them for _____ nothing!! how negligence you are! although this is your first time and what not, but please please please be professional ok! it's common sense!! dah la lapar! sabar je lah (-_-)

the boring view T_T

the interview went ok. this is the longest interview i ever had. every detail in my resume they questioned me T_T *i should edit and write less later! hihihihi (evil laugh)*. but they were nice anyway. i was comfortable and i think i like the environment here. insyaAllah, with Allah's will, it might be here ;) interview ended at 1pm and i took train to Taman Jaya as bb wanted to pick me up there. hehe. accompanied him to Perodua service centre and then we went to RnR Awan Besar as bb wanted to take away some Satay Samuri. well, i bought some too :P there goes my today. right now i am preparing myself for tomorrow's test. i am sooooo afraid. i don't have even slightest idea what to expect and what to prepare. tomorrow's job is all i wanted, what i waiting for. please, please, please, let me get through this. pray for me yeah!

headache

2010-08-18T14:09:00.004+08:00

i missed my interview today!!

warghhh...!! remember my previous post that i mentioned i didn't bring umbrella yesterday and it rained heavily? yes..this morning i had bad headache. well, still do until now. i had to let go the opportunity T_T

career and plan.

2010-08-17T16:52:00.008+08:00

hello, today i want to post another entry about career and plan. yesterday was my gloom and sad day because i received 3 emails declining my job application. those 3 are among the jobs that i was hoping i could get through. i have no mood throughout the day. however, that evening, i received a phone call for an interview! and today afternoon, i went to KL to attend that interview with recruitment agency. it is somewhere at Petaling Street. i had to walk from Pasar Seni LRT station and find the building. it's quite challenging to find the place actually, i had to walk quite a distant, and check each building's name as every building at Petaling Street are old design and not easily be identified. alhamdulillah, the building i was looking for is new and the signboard is readable! haha. oh, its name is Kompleks Selangor by the way and the recruitment agency is named Tele-temps.

the interview went ok. it had 4 tests, including english and maths test. stupid math test as i took the malfunction calculator!!! by the time i changed the calculator and get back to my test, the time is already out T_T for one-to-one interview, well, quite dissapointed because i didn't answer good enough. they proceed my application anyway and i have to attend another interview this Thursday. tomorrow, i have an interview with F&B establishment at The Curve. then, i went home. stupid me that i didn't bring umbrella! i am all wet!! it rained quite heavily and i was wet from top to toe. my favourite shoes were soaked in water T_T too bad that i wore white shirt but luckily (very little) it is white with stripes, so, at least, it's not so see-through. haha. had to dry my certificates, dah la original pulak tu T_T below are pictures of Kuala Lumpur KTM station since i am boring waiting for train. never been here before (maybe i did when i was little?). sorry for the picture quality. taken by my cheap phone though.

when i got home, while folding samosa with my mother thru youtube (haha!), i opened my email and tadaaa!!! my application for government position is answered!!!!!! alhamdulillah!!! but, i have to take an aptitude test and english test before next screening. OMG. i am sooooo afraid!!! this position is for N41 grade, definitely other candidates are among the best too!! i am so freaking out. do you guys have any experience of government test before? i am absolutely having no idea at all how the test gonna be. i don't know what to prepare, what to read and what to remember. help!! i have only little confidency that i would get through, but i am praying for the best!

all this opportunities and turn downs had make me thinking. yesterday, i had been declined by 3 opportunities and today, Allah s.w.t replace it with another 3. the beauty of it is, this another 3 are far more better that the previous. yes, it is true, Allah's plan is better than any other plan. ;) Allahuakbar.

updates!

2010-08-14T23:43:00.010+08:00

today's plan was to break fast at my father's hometown. before that, we dropped for a while at Shah Alam as my sister wanted to buy skirt and stuffs. Kompleks PKNS seriously has a very poor ventilation system. i feel like fainting anytime! didn't see any here, so we walked to SACC Mall then. to be honest, i don't really like buying stuff or shopping at Shah Alam. maybe because majority of people here are Malay, so the seller treated you very badly. they thought some people can't afford to buy their stuff. even though we already hold that item, they sometimes don't make eye contact or talk nicely to us. even worst, they don't even speak to us although we wanted to make payment. WTH??! Melayu sombong, huh! well, not all of course. on the other hand, when some people appeared rich-and-high-status, they treated them differently like ushering them from the entrance, giving comments and promote stuffs. that is why i prefer to do my shopping somewhere else.

ok, enough about that, i managed to get myself two new books! haha. actually, i accompanied my father buying his new phone. then, i gave some comments and help him choosing and then later, i asked him some money to buy books!! *bodek. i hate MPH here, because they don't wrap the books. yes. i prefer wrapped books, because it somehow give me perception that no one touch the book yet. still pure virgin. haha. I HATE BUYING BOOK WITH DEFECTS! i got myself these two, well, with additional some of my money too anyway ;p

finally, my Sophie Kinsella's set is complete! right now, i am waiting for 2nd September for Mini-Shopaholic to come out!! for eat pray love, i've been eyeing this book and lately i've been reading many good reviews about this book, so, i grabbed one today! thanks abah, without you, i would get the book but, maybe not as soon as today! heeee~

in car. my happy face. this is candid tho.

although i didn't fast, usually, i don't eat much during day. enough with cereal and milk or rather, none at all. so, during break fast, i would join them! haha. although sometimes i refuse to join but i know my mother would call me to eat together. well, we're only a small family anyway.

by the way, i am currently reading this:

borrow this book from my mother and i already half way through. highly recommended. after reading this, i got a better view about our Prophet's and his friends life. i love the way the author write this book like we're reading the story tale and we want to keep on flipping the next page. i saw this book at MPH priced at RM55.90. but i guess, it is also available at book stall (the one that always set up outside mall) with cheaper price. my uncle bought this at RM45.00.

ok, that's all. till then~

darling, break fast

2010-08-13T21:36:00.011+08:00

went to Nandos pyramid today to break fast with bb. well, break fast here quite ok i must say compared to last year's at Mr. Teppayanki. seriously lousy and no comfort at all although we pay quite deary. you can read the previous post here. fortunately, Nandos keep the tables layout as usual. not arranging them as close as possible to next table and no more minimal move! we were lucky to get quite isolated table, so, i could eat with extra comfort. yes...i am fussy about my dining experience! haha. went to MPH to kill time before breaking fast and got myself this:

jodi picoult's: my sister's keeper

while bb got himself this:

translation of Holy Quran

and..the rest of our pictures. you can scroll down faster at this point. haha.

muka tak puasa...hahaha..hehehe...huhuu.. shhhh~

muka orang puasa. reading Holy Quran to distract his attention from food. hehe :p

bb too busy reading the book, so, i killed my time snapping random photos though..

i love this drawing. it was drew by Art student from UiTM and this drawing won Nando's some kind of contest. nice~

and...more of us..

bb hates this picture anyway :P

Alhamdulillah, Allah gives me another opportunity to celebrate Ramadhan this year ;)

personal favourite

2010-08-09T23:51:00.003+08:00

highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just like her previous The Time Traveler's Wife, a bit complicated and confusing at the beginning because many characters involve, but it is totally totally worth the reading towards the end. stayed up late last night to finish it..hehe. browse MPH online and other book stores too, unfortunately audrey's pieces are only these two which i already have it both ;(

it's saturday!

2010-08-07T22:08:00.010+08:00

today, i went to KLCC - alone, to meet my long lost friend, fadhlina. she was one of my best friend when i was in form 2 and form 3. after she moved to melaka, too bad, we lost contact. then, few months ago, she traced me thru facebook (thanks to technology) and we keep in touch again! i just knew that she is actually further her study at UM, if i knew it earlier, i would definitely arranged to meet her before since my mother working there. today was her final day at UM, that is why i wanted to meet her so bad before she go back to her hometown. it was a very last minute plan like, i texted her last night to give my confirmation. i know, it's Saturday, plus with PC fair held at KLCC, it's going to be madness there. seriously, i felt like KLCC would collapse anytime when i was there. people were everywhere and squeezing next to each other in every space. relying on public transportation at this particular hour, it was totally MADNESS!!!!! too bad, i'm in rush and so she was, so, we only managed to spend about 2 and half hours together. plus with inconvenience environment :( but, it's enough for us to update each other plus reminiscing our school memories. hadn't meet her for 8 years and now we are again, how time flies!

i was off to LRT around 6 and hell no, there were too many crowd at the station especially at the ticket counter. it's like the same situation when you want to enter stadium. ass-to-ass. i need to squeeze myself in that crowd for about half an hour to get my ticket!! texting and calling bb while i was sweating, being pushed, pressed and queuing (i guess it's more like cramping myself since there was no line any) and he wrote at one of the message "get your ticket at the machine lah" (because bb waiting for me at Dang Wangi station). i was soo pissed off that i almost said "I AM AT THE FUCKING MACHINE!!!" HAHAHA. sorry bb, "almost" ok? i didn't say that anyway, well, i couldn't say that actually. no offense yeah? :P alhamdulillah, i'm tall enough to keep myself breathing although i was a little bit suffocated. by the way, couldn't see which was the counter and which was the machine anyway. people everywhere blocking my view. met bb (sempat jugak..hehe) at Dang Wangi station and together we rode the LRT to Taman Jaya station where bb parked his car there. thanks bb for sending me home! ;D hey, i love you! hehe :P

anyway, while waiting for Lina to arrive, i spent my time at Kinokuniya and got myself these *drum rolls:
i know i promised myself no more books after this but i just couldn't resist!!! they sell this book cheaper, so, i just felt like i must GET IT!!! i am such a Rebecca Bloomwood, i know T_T these books were nicely wrapped with plastic cover, too bad, when i arrived home, i noticed, there are some tear and the book cover had scratch a bit :( probably it happen while i was struggling to get my ticket though.

meet up!

2010-08-04T22:52:00.005+08:00

yeay, after about more than a month i didn't meet bb, finally tonight we met!! to meet on sunday seems like almost impossible to us right now since he started working because sometimes i'm up for something and if i don't, bb would got something to do. we just met at subang parade as it is nearer and i have a very limited time going out during night hour. so, i accompanied bb to buy his new phone..ehemm..ehemm..i planned to cut my watch strap but silly me didn't notice it before, the SA said that my watch strap is adjustable! meaning that i can attach and unattach it whichever length and whenever i wanted! grr..buang masa! and then we had dinner at Pizza Hut as bb craving for pizza. i'm not really into pizza because i eat too much of it at home since we always call for delivery whenever mother feel like doesn't want to cook. too bad, we have to eat in rush because bb has to fetch his parent at his sister's house. it's ok darling, we'll meet other time kayh? ;)

bb exploring his new phone!

bb's happy face, just can't hide it!

another one

2010-07-28T18:10:00.005+08:00
