Keunggulan cinta dari sinar mata

Yang bergelora

Hati ditaman berbunga

Satu impian satu harapan

Sudah pasti ada sebaliknya

Satu rahsia

Engkau di mataku adalah cahaya

Perjalanan ku

Terang menyuluh segala

Yang tersembunyi

Lama kucari

Sudah pasti ada jawapannya

Kemungkinan itu

Datang hampir senja sedang aku

Merangkak dan kehausan cinta itu

Kau hulur tangan mu

Membawa ku ke atas semula

Berdoalah aku kesyukuran

Tercantum cinta jadi satu

Biar ku tebus segalanya

Agar di teman cinta yang suci itu

Ada orang dengki on Sunday evening when I said I jatuh chenta tengok RIZ sang this song during the 3rd Concert of AF6. What to do, I was sick, having fever & rashes, AF6 seemed to be such an entertaining program di kala aku tengah menggaru-garu macam anak kera kehilangan ibu, hehehehehe. And the guy rendered the song very well.... So, that orang dengki tried to sing this song dalam hujan lebat, tak nak kalah tu, at last lagu berterabur, pitching lari, and hujan makin lebat, hahahahaha. Sorry baby, you can try again later, for time being, lirik lagu kat atas, sila-sila lah hafal.

This will be my last entry for Channel 11point 5.blogspot.com.

My new wordpress blog dah set-up sebulan, dah bersawang, sebelum pakcik blogger tu mengamuk kerana usaha dia macam sia-sia, I think it is better for me to say goodbye here and move on to aidayurani.com

Thanks to all my readers yang rajin baca my daily drama. Jangan risau, aidayurani.com tetap ada drama. Pakcik blogger siap letak tag : The Drama is here....

To fahroe who set-up this blog, the tagboard, doing the maintenance for 11point5 (walaupun hakikat nya I boleh buat sendiri, tapi suka mengada-ngada nak jugak, hehehehe), terima kasih daun keladi.

To those yang suka jadikan blog ni alasan untuk dijadikan issue and mengutuk-ngutuk kehidupan saya, jangan risau, Drama belum over lagi, anda boleh sambung kat aidayurani.com

The life of aida yurani the drama queen will continue as usual, I will try and update it soon this week at aidayurani.com

Take care everyone! Good bye!

I was worried, I am worry now, I will worry further

2008-03-12T18:39:00.013+08:00

Ape lah tu? hehehehehe.

Well, dad is in hospital. Of course I worry. He was admitted since Monday. He is stable, but doctor needs to monitor him. I thought he will be discharged today, but besok kena test darah pulak. So he has to fast tonight, and only Friday, the earliest he will be discharged if everything is okay. Tarak okay kalu, aiseyman, kena duduk lama lagi lah kat hospital tu. Both parents are having too much time at hospital doing nothing but reading and sending me sms asking questions itu ini. Some sensitive topics that I have answered "wait la, tengok la, see how, hmm... " terus-terus aku kena leter. So, I just said : yes mama, okay babah. Malas nak cari gaduh

Ayong, my elder brother, is in Perai at the moment, so he is going back and forth to SP. Kakteh, adik&emma are probably going back to SP this Friday. I will only go back this month end as I have applied for leave from 26th March to 31st March. Unless dad's condition is not good, then I will balik awal. Although it means I have to go back during MATTA fair this weekend. Oh, kerja 3 hari straight aku this weekend. A friend of mine has many times reminded me, work must always comes second, family first no matter what. Ye lah tu. Workaholic advice workaholic. Mana nak jalan. Hehehehehe.

Office is sucks at the moment. Biasa lah. Nak Matta Fair, semuanya urgent, semuanya nak attention. Time ni lah bill makin naik. The RM900k bill tu dah settle, but come this Monday, another saga of it. So nothing I can komplen about, part of the job.

My weight baru aja kurang 300gram. Aiseyman, time is running out. Last night I had to control myself at Delicious cafe near the Ascott. Went dinner with one of my sales associates, dia makan, I minum teh and had onion soup aja. He insist we have to go for that dinner as a lot of things need to discuss, so we talk while I minum teh, dia makan rack of lamb. Bau pun dah sedap, tapi I dapat disiplin, ini semua pasal coach handbag. Seksa nya nak tahan temptation nak order the nasi kerabu. Hmm..... But my colleague tu was merely nak tengok I tahan temptation ke tidak as he knew about the bet, so dia dok suruh despatch beli McDonald semalam, tadi beli nasi beriyani letak atas my table. Last-last semua dapat kat Eddy Toh. Mamat Eddy yang kenyang. Oh, kenapa lah aku buat bet ini again? I have not had nasi since Sunday, 3 days without rice is already a trauma for me. Takpe, tahan, mesti tahan.

My MD masuk office besok. I missed her so much. She is the one who keeps me sane in this office. Banyak benda nak kena report, and I nak kecek to cancel my 2 days trip to Dubai, but give me 14 days unrecorded leave so I can balik and lepak kat SP. Hmm.... macam boleh dapat. Takpe, tak try tak tau kan??? Hehehehe.

Oh, I lupa, about election. I had a good time pegi mengundi with my adik. It was his first time voting, so he was extra excited about it. Adik baru sampai tempat mengundi. But he went to the wrong school. Tu tengah pose while on the phone with me trying to get direction to the other school, which is 800m apart.
The PKR booth in front of Sekolah Danau Kota.
Adik & me at BN booth at Sek Men Setapak Indah. Our place to vote. My aunties, uncles and cousins pun vote at the same place. We all used the Taman Ibukota address. Kaklong : How did we missed you? You parked at the other side kut. Here at BN booth, we checked our saluran number. Ours was at Saluran 6, the 3rd floor. Nasib baik tak semput naik tangga.
Adik tengah menjalankan hak nya sebagai rakyat. We voted at Parliament Wangsa Maju. Won by PKR.
Adik& wife Emma, my sis in-law. I have 2 of them now. Both are very fair, pandai sangat lah my brothers carik. Hehehehe. Eeerrr... bila nak dapat baby ni? I can get along with both my SIL better than my brothers. I hardly talk to ayong, semua nya carik kaklin, hehehehe.

After voting, we singgah Gombak, jumpa Cik & Aunty Dah. Then we went to Pavillion, tengok movie, Jumper. It was good, and had Rachel Bilson. (Sorry ah... Mr. F... I told you to choose that day since I've got no say. You chose the boring movie, not my fault! Rugi tak tengok Jumper. Hehehehehe) After movie, in fact before movie, Emma insist that we have to go J.Co. I tak sanggup nak beratur panjang2. But the kids did. I lepak while baca magazine. Took them 20minutes queing up.Adik & Me posing with yummy donughts.

The yummy donughts

My satisfied face! :)

I reached home at 10pm that night, in time to catch-up with the election results. I was scrolling tv1, tv3 and that astro awani. Was surprised to see Shahrizat lost her so called safe place. I hope Nurul Izzah can do better for Lembah Pantai area after this. I don't mind Nurul Izzah wins, but I am sad we have to see Shahrizat leave. Samy Vellu's lost was not upsetting. I think the whole nation was waiting to celebrate his lost. Then I saw the results for Penang. Koh Tsu Koon kalah? Hmm... But I respect his calmness despite the result yang sungguh memalukan tu. The media conference he had live-telecast that night was very cool of him. I don't care what others are saying about him, this guy has my suppport. I hope he takes this time off to recall back where he went wrong. Hp was constantly receiving calls and sms asking me what happened lah?? I said, Malaysians has VOTE!!.

So now, to the Yang Amat Berhormat sekelian, harap2 nya dapat menjadi Yang Sedia Berkhidmat sekarang ni. It is not easy to run the country. Kita semua memang boleh cakap saja, but when it comes to actually doing it???? Not everybody has that potential. To gain trust from rakyat, to return back to rakyat, it needs a lot of sacrifice. You can't win everyone.

With 5 states is with BA, will BN keep on day dreaming? I will not hentam anybody, I just hope, those elected, do your work. And we as voters cannot just wait to see them do the job, help them. Jadi rakyat yang berhemah dari segala segi. Aiseyman, aku tak buat tax lagi. Hmm...

I doubt they can reduce price of petrol, the whole world is rising it, how are we to stop the price increase?

Demolish toll??? Hmm.... no can do.

Remove NEP?

Free education for all??

4 years enough to prove themselves? Or in 2012, Malaysia will VOTE again. I wish good luck to all of them. It will be an interesting political agenda to look out for the next 4 years.

I thought I will be spending some time with my family this Saturday, but looks like it has to be delayed again. Next week lah, already receiving complaints about me too busy with my social life past 3 months. But I never neglected my family kan? Be it the siblings, the aunties&uncles, cousins, cousins to cousins, and cousins not related, I make sure I keep in touch with everybody kan? (Aunty Dah, sorry, cannot help basuh pinggan this Saturday, Kaklong can help with basuh pinggan eh??? Hehehehehe) I am busy catching up with lots of people these days. Like Dimas, Nizah, Nazif, Muna - went to Melaka. Amy, Anny, Amily - met at their house. Kaklong's superwonderful kids - habis kopak aunty Aida kat ToysRUs. Daniel - Monte's was delicious.... have fun in Telipud. Yani, Yana, Man, and the gang - who says I'm not eating I can't have fun with you guys????

Now must find time for my nephew & nieces. Rindu sama itu Piah, my 5 months old niece. Even my neighbour's kids pun dah lama tak nampak. Aunty Aida asyik takde weekend and balik lambat. My neighbour, Madame S... I rindu sangat dengan you jugak. Hehehehe. Also rindu dekat Shasha & Arfan and their mommy too. I also rindu my favourite chef... tak rindu dia sangat, just his cookings. Tengah2 diet ni kan. Hehehehe. Now that he is no longer staying in Bukit Antarabangsa, tak tau lah bila I will see him. Tu belum dia ada anak 10 (ye,,, ni aku perli ni... hehehehehe). I also rindu my Mr Very Busy Man... sigh... ni rindu paling banyak sangat. Rindu seribu juta!!!! Come back home safely ok?

Fantastic Fabulous February 2008, Sakit Perut & Coach Handbag

2008-03-06T19:29:00.006+08:00

I had a great time last month. One of the best period in my life. Sadness & happiness happen at the same time, made me realise I can be a better person if I want too.

Loosing people you love, meeting back old friends, making new ones, and knowing that you can trust your true close friends around you, and support by your family, make me believe that my life is not bad after all. (hey, this is the second time I write this statement, see Aida, you are having a good life. Hehehehe, so stop complaining). I don't know when I will get back that happy feeling, but enough for time being and life must go on.

I was on Medical Leave past 2 days. I had food poisoning. So much of eating over the weekend, I decided to puasa (fasting) on Monday and should be continuing until Thursday (today lah tu). I had Sizzling Mee for breaking fast, but somehow that sizzling mee turned out to be a nightmare for me. After came back from sending Kakteh to Damansara Damai (I had to fecth my sister from Hentian Duta, she arrived after her short trip back to Sungai Petani), I started to vomit and having stomach ache and started going to toilet. Couldn't sleep that night, was practically in the toilet either vomitting or purging. On Tuesday morning, after going to clinic, I thought I was kebal. But unfortunately, I was not. I had stomach cramps and still going to toilet. I was like : Baru satu hari puasa, perut dah upset??? So, I went back home, after being forced by everyone at office (and people outside office). Tried to sleep, in fact slept the whole day until night without eating, with in between hours going back & forth to toilet. The result???? I lost 1.2kg......

And not eating anything yesterday except for nasi and sup at Kaklong's house last night, my weight maintains. So, another 2.8kg to achieve to get the free Coach Handbag.

What is it with this Coach Handbag????. Well, my cousin, Sazzli (or also known as Chalee, or sometimes I call him Kambing Gurun bila dia nakal sangat buli me), who is now back in Ireland, was in Washington D.C. last month. He remembered how I made a big fuss about giving my sister the imitation Coach Handbag that I bought in Bangkok last year after only using it for a very short time (hey, handbag celup pun, tapi lawa siot, and the finishing is so good, and very good quality, very cheap price). I did actually told her she can have it as I have lots of other handbags still not used-which are now quietly kept in the cupboard, but after seeing her with the bag, I realised how much I missed the cool bag.

So, on Valentine's Day morning, I woke up to see Chalee sent sms " Err... you nak coach design ape? nak besar punya or kecik punya". Huh, I was smiling sampai telinga baca itu sms lah.

I told him I don't like the print designs, love the patchwork design better. So, he sent me an email, showing me the design he thought I would like. Frankly, not the design I want, but hey, I have no complaints if it is the original Coach, and it comes from US, and much-much cheaper compared to the ones sold at Pavilion or KLCC. So I said, okay aje......

Then come a better deal. Chalee said if I can loose 4kg by the time he comes back for his wedding this March end, he will give it for free. But, if I loose the bet, I have to pay for it. So that was the fasting for 4 days was all about, but now the plan dah kena kacau due to sakit perut 2 hari. Now I have exactly 24 days @ 3 weeks to get rid the balance 2.8kg. Of course my siblings said it will be hard for me to achieve my bet as I love food very much. Most of my friends know that food is part of my soul (ape lah korang ni....), Aida and food can never be apart. Tengok la my body macam mana, which I don't have a problem with it. I am comfortably with my current size and dah lali apa orang nak kata. My mother made it harder for me by saying if I don't loose 4kg by end March, I will not just have to pay for the handbag, but instead, she will get the handbag. Aiyak!!!!! Kacau daun betul mama ni.

I can't cheat my weight, as it is recorded every 2 weeks or at least once a month at aunty Nita's clinic, which Dr Sazzli Shahlan Kasim tu has acces of the information. And my aunty Nita is so aware about the bet. So she is actually constantly checking on my eating patterns, and scolded me for having lavish food intake over last weekend! (The lavish food gala over last weekend tu I blame kan Nizah, Dimas, Nazif, Muna & Fahroe, hahahaha. Kunang2, Umbai, and Tony Roma's.... yeah Aida, blame it on others, awak tu yang kuat makan).

So will Aida succeed this time or not? We will just have to wait and see this month end. I will update everyone this month end.

Tonight's dinner : epal and roti cicah sup.

(Note : Aida has stop using herbal life product since 1st Feb 2008. Nak tengok kalau stop pakai product tu weight naik balik ke tak. So this time the bet memang takde assistance from food suplement. Totally on my own.)

oh, another note :
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTY DAH..... You can have my other handbag yang you nak sangat tu once Chalee bawak balik the new handbag.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHALEE...... lagi few days aje nak tunggu okay?

Fasting

2008-03-03T15:07:00.003+08:00

After the hectic makan-makan saga over the weekend, I am fasting today. My perut is resting for the next 4 days.

But at this moment, my stomach is having an ochestra performance inside.

Sigh.....

Note to self : All this for the benefit of free Coach Handbag ok?

Food Conversation

2008-03-01T15:17:00.002+08:00

Aunty Dah called me at 6.30am this morning. Thanks to her, I had my subuh prayers. If not, memang tak sedar.

Aunty Dah : Oits, dah bangun ke?
Me : Nak bangun la ni, nape?
Aunty Dah : Aunty masak nasi lemak, ada ayam goreng, datang la sini breakfast.
Me : Ala, I kerja lah aunty, nak kena masuk office, tak kut. (Dalam hati : kenapa la aku kena masuk office pagi ni???? But by this time I am so awake hearing nasi lemak and ayam goreng :p)
Aunty Dah : Datang la kejap b4 pegi ofis?
Me : Tak sempat lah aunty.
Aunty Dah : Ok, aunty simpan sket for you, nanti petang singgah tau, Da lama dah tak singgah Gombak.
Me : Okay. (Dalam hati : yeay, yummy food by aunty Dah today)
(But Aunty Dah tepon tadi at 1pm informing nasi lemak dah habis sbb aunty Yot datang. I said takpe, takde rezeki. Nanti gantikan dgn masak toucu for me next week and she said ok)

After prayers and mandi, at 7.10am
Caller 1: Wei minah, kau dah bangun belum?
Me : Dah, apehal kau tepon aku pagi-pagi ni?
Caller 1 : Hari ujan, aku takde gang nak teman aku breakfast la, pegi Mc D nak?
Me : Aku nak masuk office lah mamat. Awek kau mana?
Caller 1: Awek aku mana bangun pagi? Jom la, jom la, aku belanja.
Me : Tak leh, lagi pun aku kena puasa from Mc D for next 4 weeks, diet betting.
Caller 1: Kau mana boleh puasa Mc D, mana kau nak menang diet betting, it never worked, bape kali dah.... jom la.... Big breakfast... kan kau punya favourite.
Me : No... stop it. I nak baca buku ni, then at 9am nak pegi office, pi kejut your awek suruh dia teman. Bibik tak buat sarapan ke, pepagi ni nak kacau aku.
Caller 1: Bibik buat lah, tp aku ada hal nak story sket.
Me : Eleh, Mc D tu rasuah lah tu, Story yang lebih. Story mory malam sket, aku taknak kuar makan pagi-pagi ni.

Then, as I was trying to indulge myself with my story book, the hp bunyi lagik...
Caller 2 : Awak dah bangun? (in a very sexy husky voice)
Me : Dah, nape?
Caller 2 : Buat apa hari ni?
Me : Nak masuk ofis settle kerja. Nape?
Caller 2 : Eleh, tanya pun tak boleh?
Me : Baru 745am awak dah tanya report kad for the day. Nak ape?
Caller 2: Pegi tak bbq petang ni? Pegi skali jum, takde gang lah.
Me : Alamak, lupa ada BBQ, but I kinda have plans. Tak janji lah. BBQ ni untuk apa eh?
Caller 2 : Their 4th Wedding Anniversary. Bday Man sekali. Bukan u volunteer masak pie ke?
Me : Tak jadi masak pie. Yani said no need as MIL is cooking. Can I not go? Please??
Caller 2 : Then sape nak teman I? Ala ape benda yg you busy sangat? Ada big fish to catch ke?
Me : Hehehe, takde, but I am avoiding food place.
Caller 2 : Since when you diet? Last nite I sms, you said you tengah makan with F at gombak. You said dieting kills your soul?
Me : Hahahahaha. Not in the mood socialising tonite, seriously. I see you and the rest Thursday night at KLCC as planned ok?
Caller 2 : Hmm... ok, but if you change your mind, call me ok?
Me : Will do.
(Note to Yani : I've given you my excuse kan not why I'm not attending the BBQ, so nanti see you Thursday ok? Good luck!!)

By 9.15am, while driving to work :
Dave : Sayang you kat mana?
Me : On the way to work, driving ni.
Dave : Ok-ok. I'm buying them breakfast, you want anything.
Me : No thanks. I'll have cornflakes afterward.
Dave : La, tu aja, takpe, I'm treating all of them, you cakap lah you nak ape?
(This is standard statement by Dave, one of my sales associates. He always buy food for us at work)
Me : Tak nak lah, makan cornflakes je. Last night makan banyak lah, and late dinner, my stomach still full. Takpe, Monday you buy me breakfast ok?
Dave : You said yesterday Monday you nak puasa?
Me : Oh, lupa, after that lah.
Dave : Sure ni tak nak?
Me : Yes, thanks, see you in a bit.

Masuk office, tadi around 1020am
Andy : Cik Aida, you nak milo panas tak?
Me : Oh, takpe Encik Andy, thanks anyway.
Andy : Kenapa, tak sudi ke?
Me : Tu, I have slimming tea dalam mug tu tak habis lagi.

And at 1230pm, Cristina came to my desk and said :
CR : Kak, I bought extra nasi beriyani for you. Chicken wings as usual.
Me : Lah, apesal you beli? I tak nak lunch lagi.
CR : Tengok kak kerja kuat sangat hari ni, lagi pun I owe kamu one lunch.
Me : Aiseyman, sorry Cristina. Thanks anyway. Letak saja situ, nanti I makan.
(But tadi I suruh Eddy Toh yang makan, after explaining to Cristina that I don't want to eat lunch and will pay her back... but she said ok, no problem, thank God....)

And at 345pm tadi :
Hanizah is buzzing my hp, tapi suara Dimas yang keluar :
Dimas : Kat mana tu?
Me : Kat office. Where are you guys?
Dimas : Hanizah ajak pegi Melaka, jom??
Me : When? I ada work nak siap kan.
Dimas : Ala... jom lah... bukan selalu I balik dari bangkok.
Me : Earliest is at 6pm, I kena wait for my colleague siapkan her work.
Dimas : Nizah cakap pegi dinner kat sana, makan seafood nak? Jom lah.
Me : Ok see how, jap lagi I tepon balik.

So.... all my conversation is based on food... how lah? And people will call me if they want to know/get ideas where to eat. I dah kena label food directory.... How lah???/

As at now, 4pm, all I had was only the cornflakes this morning and the slimming tea. I tengah bagi my perut rest. Malam tadi dah makan banyak at Kunang-Kunang, so hari ni perut kena rest!

Office Trip to Kuala Selangor

2008-03-01T11:26:00.005+08:00

I went to Kuala Selangor on 18th-20th Jan 2008 with my colleagues for our weekend getaway. It is a small town about one and half hour from Kuala Lumpur. Below is pix of the town :
Tu je pekannya, very small. Hehehehe.

We arrived around 6pm, went straight to Bukit Melawati. If you go there on weekends, you can take the "trem " as pix above at RM4.00 per pax (if I'm not mistaken), but since we came on Friday, we had no choice to walk up the hill. It take only 5 minutes to go up, but we took longer as there were toilet stops, scenery stops, photo session stops like pix below :

The fort up the hill.

This is myself, abigail, and helina. (Mr Nelson kat sebelah tu busy taking pix of HP who is busy taking our pix)

This is pix of the challet we stayed at De Palma Inn. Not bad. The rooms are small, but very cozy. Brand new, very spacious, very nature, bangun pagi boleh dgr bunyi burung-burung buat choir. Price on weekdays is RM100, weekend can go up to RM120-RM130. They also have family challet which can accommodate up to 5 pax, and also honeymoon challet (my boss took that one, hehehehe)

Another pix at Bukit Melawati.

This is us on 2nd night, before makan-makan BBQ. BBQ kat luar, but we ate in air-cond room, BBQ ape tu? They should have organised it at the pool side. But food was good, and variety. And knowing us, licin habis semua.

I tak ingat Abby buat lawak bodoh apa time ni...... Something about roti & soup.

Me and Minah posing, Pauline. She was really busy taking pix with everyone like 100 times each. :)

Me, Mr Weng, Hooipeng and Venice (in white). Venice memang photogenic, semua gambar dia mesti tengah pose sengih.

This is me with my darling Eddy Toh. One of the guys who I always talk about in this blog. The day he is not around, my day at work mesti tak fun. I depend on him for my lunch. If dia beli Mc Donald, so I will eat fatty food, the day he buys me Nasi & sayur saje, I cannot complaint.

(Update : Eddy Toh's father passed away on 1st February 2008 leaving him with his only sister. He cried when he called me that night, I just hang-on for at least 10 minutes consoling him, few of my colleagues including big boss went to see him at Hospital that night, I went to visit him on Sunday. His father died on his lap at home. He took 2 weeks off, but now he is back at work, and feeling better. The late Mr Toh will call me from time to time asking how Eddy is doing at work, is he creating problems or not, is he eating junk-food or not. Eddy's younger sister is normal and is doing well in her life, they are staying together now while she takes over most of her late father's task to take care of Eddy with help from uncles & aunts. We at office will continue our support for Eddy)

A pix of me with Andrew. Now mamat ni jatuh rating no 2 as most eligible bachelor kat office, hehehehehe. Mr Sensible is currently at no 1 due to his very big motorbike. (Bila lah aku nak dapat chance naik itu big bike???????)

Pix at Bukit Melawati, this is part of the team. The 7 other men and Venice tak sampai lagi at this point.

Sesi bagi makan roti untuk monyet kat Bukit Melawati.

During our brainstorming session on 2nd day. Hooipeng with her movie title. The lady in stripes is Mr Millionaire Mary. A very good motivator. She conducted our brainstorming session that day.

One of the activities we had. This was fun.

Abby giving her team's idea and projection for 2008.

Helen, my boss, myself and Jun.

Ini jumpa dekat kedai depan Pasar Penambang Kuala Selangor. Tak tau lah ni apa benda, but it was for sale.

The pasar we went on Sunday morning before check-out and balik. I bought prawns, ikan terubuk, and ketam. Well cooked and yummy habis within the next few days. Makan dekat office.

Ini siput belitung????

More fish.............

I had fun. Thanks to Jun who organised it very well. First day we went to Bukit Melawati, then dinner at one of the seafood restaurant tepi Kuala. Then we went to see Fireflies. Price at RM12 per person. I was in same bot/perahu/sampan with Loga, Bhanu and Helen. Bhanu ni dari India, so dia memang excited lah tengok fireflies/kelip-kelip. I pun, hehehehe. Terasa aman damai atas bot tu, takde cahaya except the moon lights and no sound except kayuhan sampan and bunyi cengkerik. If sesape nak pegi, go after 9pm, the close at 1030pm, but go masa hujung bulan. Time full moon baru best tengok.

The next day, Saturday, (after liat nak bangun as most of us stayed-up untill 3am berborak and played cards), we had full day session of brainstorming. We are set to reach this year's target, and big boss promise 4 bulan bonus kalau achieve (current 2 bulan aja). So, my colleagues yg dok buang masa baca my blog ni, sila pergi buat kerja sekarang! Jangan curi tulang!! :)

Habis sessi brainstorming at 645pm, myself, eddy, cristina, hooipeng and abigail terjun mandi pool. Lepak around 40 minutes, then balik bilik pray and get ready for dinner. Dinner was good, we had karaoke. I was surprised to see how many OIAM potential within my colleagues. I sang 2 songs. After singing and dancing session, we lepak kat depan challet, Andrew brought his guitar and entertained us with few songs, and we sang along.

Sunday pagi, after breakfast we went marketing, then singgah this place jual ikan masin. I borong sakan ikan masin kuran, gelama, and also belacan. We arrived KL around 2pm.

All of us had good time, a lot of laughing and games played in the bus, and we did get to know each other a bit more. Kalau fun macam tu kat office hari-hari kan best? Hmm... perhaps not, nanti kerja tak siap. But I can see some changes towards work attitude nowadays. Hope it stays.

I would definately recommend kuala selangor for family trip, office trip. It is near-by, cheap and cozy.

More pix here.

Lunch at pavillion

Had Nando's at Pavillion tadi. Will not go there ever again. This was 2nd time I went, but service is very slow and very bad. Kalau penuh and ramai orang tu lain lah cerita, tapi not even half of the restaurant yang occupied. Tau tadi pegi food court aja, at least kalau kena wait pun, pueh hati sbb ramai orang.

I met Mr Skema on the way back. Aiseyman, kantoi dah aku tak puasa hari ni, hahahahaha. Sorry lah, will do it this Monday, 4 days straight. Janji!!!!!

note to my lunch date : tengkiu daun keladi, lain kali belanja lah lagi.
note to myself : aida yurani, sila stop makan ayam!!!!!
note to mr skema : merokok membahayakan kesihatan, nanti tak sempat umur 40tahun.

Mana nak cari duit?

2008-02-29T09:45:00.004+08:00

Most of my regular readers would know that one of my main task is to collect duit.

This morning, I checked the weekly bill, and my eyes go blink-blink after looking at the figure : RM 927,979.79!

It has to be paid (ie : cleared in our BSP Standard Chartered Account on Monday, 10th March
2008) or that's it. If we default twice in a year, consider kena tutup kedai. Aiyak......

This Monday punya pun I masih short RM 230k, which RM100k I just confirm I will get rentas to our account today. Tu tak masuk lagi whatever other bills to pay, and tour money going out on Monday about RM 300k to Amman, gaji nak tak nak I kena release today or kejap lagi ada lah yang datang bertanya (that part I bersyukur I managed not to witheld my staff salaries every month. There have been cases where I and Lina will hold ours first to make sure that the rest lepas dulu, now I missed Lina so much, kalau dia ada ni, dia lah tukang motivate, but now it is only an empty table next to mine).

Next week, sure I cranky gila kat office. Hahahahahahaha. Well, now, nak kena buat muka manis, mulut manis, nak naik 1st floor, see all my associates. Must be nice to them today to make sure money is collected on time!

Who Moved My Cheese?

2008-02-26T18:09:00.002+08:00

Tadi lunch bercita-cita nak makan roti bakar with my soft cheese yang mahal tu. Alih-alih bukak fridge tengok kotak cheese dah hilang!!!!!

Whua..........................

Sape lah yang jahat amik my cheese tu? Nak rasa ke, mintak la, bukan I tak bagi. Selalu pun my food I makan, pas tu balance korang gak yang habis kan, I always share, siap offer lagi kat semua orang. Every month aku masak sedap2 bagi korang makan, jgn la ambik kesempatan makan my very expensive cheese!!!

Tensen! Tensen! Tensen!

So, I had roti bakar with kaya only for lunch.

Note to SG : I am serious about putting CCTV in the office fridge!!! Hari tu my yummy expensive jam & milk pun ada orang kebas!!!!

Kereta Baru

Semalam, ikut orang pegi tengok kereta baru, aku pulak yang sibuk-sibuk tanya macam nak beli kereta baru. Tried the Lancer, rasa macam besh pulak. Hmm...

Myvi is still new. This Thursday (28th feb) baru genap setahun. If I buy new car, where to campak the myvi? Planning to let Ma&Ba to use Myvi, then I can drive the new Lancer. But must spare additional RM300 monthly.

Can I afford it? Yes....

But do I want to afford it? Hmm......

ps : happy anniversary kepada 2 orang yang kuat menyakat dan bergaduh tak sudah-sudah!

Perpisahan

2008-02-22T09:41:00.003+08:00

Ku mengerti perpisahan ini
Bukan kerana kau membenci
Tapi kasih yang pernah ku beri
Tiada lagi bersama

Sering, kala aku terlihatkan mu
Impian nan indah bersulam bahagia

Ku harungi hari demi hari
Bersama wajah tak mungkin akan kembali
Tapi hati masih tak terima
Ditinggalkan sengsara

Keraguan ini bukanlah padamu
Perasaan hati masih rindu
Kekalutan ini hanyalah untukku
Tercari-cari bayanganmu
Tak sanggup aku kehilangan
Kehilanganmu…
Masih tercari-cari

Keraguan ini bukanlah padamu
Masih tercari-cari bayanganmu
Tak sanggup aku kehilanganmu

To Kak Lin & Hariz Danial : The song above is dedicated to both of you, with love. Hariz kena praktis lagi lah sayang, pitching dah lari la darling. Makngah will be around next week should you need to mengada and bermanja while ayah & ibu are away, or when Nurin buli you.

To AAJ : In time I will heal? Like when you are 40? :D

Opah

2008-02-19T19:18:00.003+08:00

My dear Opah passed away peacefully on Saturday, 16th February 2008 at 3.25am at age 83. After almost a year battling with her pain, she finally left us. She was detected with a growth in her intestine in year 2001. Had an operation, but it came back 3 years later. Ever since then, opah always had this stomach ache. She had 3 operation within the last 7 years. But sometime early part of last year, she always had this constant stomach pain. Being opah, tak nak susahkan orang, she will tell us : "Ala, biasa lah opah, dah tua, macam ni lah." (I'm sure most of my blog readers are familiar with my opah as I have been constantly talking about here in this blog.)

But, despite the pain, she lived her last year full of memories and fought herself strongly. The growth had somehow turned into cancer, and had spread to her lungs and brain. And opah started to have headaches all the time. Last Ramadan was the starting of her last battle. She couldn't fast at all, and that upsets her. After raya, the pain worsen, and my aunties start to take turns to take care of her. She couldn't stand on her own, but still insist of going to the toilet herself (degil betul!) After raya puasa, she was bed-ridden. By this time, my aunty yot had decided that opah should stay at her house since she is not working, with other aunties taking turns on weekends. We had our last raya haji at her place. The following week, Opah went for some medical check-ups after constantly being pujuk by my aunties and cousin, Epi, and that is when they discovered the cancer has spread. The doctors couldn't perform any further operation or give her chemo due to her age factor. She was on drugs since then. But none of the drugs eased her pain.

Last Thursday night, I went to aunty yot's house. I cried when I saw opah. She was really thin, no flesh, and she look very-very sick. Macam tinggal rangka yang berkulit saja. I had to calm myself outside, and was comfort by my aunts. She was not like that when I saw her the Sunday before. She was still talking at that time, although just whispering, but she was alright. On Thursday, she didn't respond when I called her, when I sat next to her, she just.... there, lying so weak on the bed. After calming myself, I called dad and informed him about opah's condition. Told her to talk to mom and ask mom to come to KL a.s.a.p. After prayers, I sat next to Opah, reciting surah Yassin. Then I called mom and she was crying too. She planned to come back to KL on Monday (yesterday) and spend the whole week here, at least she can release my aunts for a while. But I told her to come immediately. At this point, opah was already on morphine patch, but again, it did not ease her pain. Babah spoke to me again later that night and informed that they have decided to come home the next day with my ayong as ayong was working at Prai.

I slept at aunty yot's house that night. Opah did not say a word, and she did not want to eat since Monday apparently. She was all awake that night, painfull, but did not say anything. But her expression shows. In the morning, I told her I was going to work, she asked for air sejuk, I gave her plain water, but she said tak manis. She said she wants air sirap. 2 teaspoon, that is all.

I came back on Friday, by that time, I saw her face was shrinking. Sayu hari tengok opah macam tu. I left about 830pm to take my car, and to fetch mama & babah from ayong's house. By the time we were back at Aunty yot's house, it was midnight. Mama, babah, paklong, maklong, aunty yot, uncle wahid, apit and myself started to mengaji and baca yassin. Uncle nuar (her only son) arrived at 1.10am and joined us. By 230am, we finished and I was talking with my uncles. As the hour approach, we were tired. Uncles naik tido, I slept downstairs depan tv with aunty yot. Mama came to give me selimut and tilam, asked us to sleep properly so that we can replace her and maklong in the morning.

As I was about to tarik my selimut, I heard maklong cried out loud " mak.........." I terus bangun, and saw opah inhale a very deep breath. By the 2nd time she did that, I went up to wake all my uncles and my cousin, Apit. My mom, uncle Nuar and maklong were teaching her to follow kalimah syahadah. She did. And her last breath, she held my maklong very firm, and then she left all of us. I thanked Allah that she was not in pain at that point. I saw the clock, it was exactly at 3.25am. My dad checked his pulse, but we decided to wait for Epi to confirm it. Epi confirmed it 20minutes after that.

My aunty yot couldn't take it at that point, but soon after that, she accepted the fact that opah has gone. I called aunty dah, aunty namah (her other 2 daughters who were not there, but was at aunty yot's 3 hours before that, they will come every night, and go home at midnight). And then I called my cousin, chalee, who was about to leave Washington for Ireland.

After helping sorting out the house, at 4am, most of our close relatives were there, I went home to change. A lot of people came to pay their last respect to Opah. We brought her to the Surau in front aunty yot's house. I helped performed the process mandikan mayat. It was done very professionally by these 2 ladies, with help by 2 of my mom's cousin, my aunty nita, kaklong, and myself. Muka opah nampak bersih sungguh. As I was doing it, terngiang-ngiang suara ustazah kat sekolah dulu. After that, we kapankan opah, and ready for sembahyang Zohor and followed by sembahyang Jenazah.

It was a very hot day. But as soon as we arrived at Tanah Perkuburan Taman Ibu Kota (3 minutes walk from opah's house in Gombak), the weather turned cool and it was very windy. Uncle nuar, my 2 cousins, Apit and Hakim yang sambut opah dalam liang lahad. My brother ayong was there to help with the process kebumi after that. After talkin was read, mom wanted to stay for a while and recited the Quran. Babah, me, kakteh and hariz waited for her before we went back home.

I would like to thank to all friends who had came and visit opah that day, especially to Zain who was there first thing. Also to Sarah, Fathil, Fahroe, Iza & Ray. And thanks to Ray, Adam, Nain who had also sembahyang jenazah for my opah kat surau. Also to my cousins from my dad's side, abang rafi and abang yazid, and pak lang, who helped during process kebumi. And also to those who had called and smsed and email salam takziah.

I was really tired that weekend, but rasa lega as semua berjalan lancar. The tahlil we had 2 nights was attended by many people who had known opah.

I will really missed her leteran, her advice, her old stories, her cooking. I will really missed her.

She had touched a lot of people's heart, not just her family, her neighbours, her friends, her cucu's friends.

To my cousin Shah who is now in Japan, we are truly sorry that we couldn't reach you in time, and you had to receive such news from my brother at your dinner date. But, believe me, we tried to call you but couldn't reach. To my cousins, Chalee and Nadira, do not feel sad. At least you guys did come back and spent some time with her last month. And so does my adik, you sempat jumpa and borak with her last Sunday kan? Come back safely from Japan tomorrow.

I will post again about Opah. All the good things about her is something nice to talk about and as a rememberance. Alfatihah.

Rumah Masuk Pencuri?

2008-02-13T09:07:00.000+08:00

This morning at 730am Fahroe made his usual morning call, but this morning dia dera I turun bawah and bukak tv immediately. Wei, I don't turun bawah until 8am lah, although I dah mandi, I usually go down at 8am only. But this morning ada surprise kat TV3. Ada abang faisal @ epi @ prof. faisal kat MHI. He was giving talk about buasir, intestine and some cancer issues too.

So I apa lagi, mula lah telefon mama, aunty yot jadi CNN kejap suruh diorang tengok tv. (Hmm... ada potential nak jadi aunty Dah ni who is always updated with every single news). But I did not inform aunty Dah, I am sure she is already at office, nanti tak pasal I kena bebel kenapa TV3 interview Epi time dia tak boleh tengok Tv. Hehehehe.

Okay, back to the original story.... rumah tak masuk pencuri, tapi suspect masuk pencuri....

Last Sunday night, I nak keluar pegi Mc Donald makan ice cream, time nak tutup gate, I realised that my neighbour's house, Madam Sarah punya tingkap atas sekali macam kena bukak. It looked like it was open, and whoever opened it, did not put the curtain inside, and it was hanging out. I dah rasa spooky sbb takde angin kuat during that CNY long break kat Bukit, and takde hujan lebat. Both neighbours kiri-kanan memang takde, semua went out of KL. But I left for Kuantan satu malam saja, and that Sunday evening balik dari hantar kakteh, the tingkap was okay aja, takde apa-apa pun.

Khairul was holding Madam S hse key and my hse spare key (Gave him the key before I left for Kuantan so dia boleh tolong switch on lampu porch for both house while we were away...... I am gonna miss you mamat after you pindah out of Bukit..... :( .......) And he was out for dinner and nak pergi klinik, so Fahroe and me decided pegi makan ice cream dulu lah. I dah alert Sarah at that point. When we came back an hour later, I wanted to go in and check but F said biar ja tuan rumah balik, nanti banyak fingerprints detected susah pulak. I was like ????? But once Khairul arrived with the keys, and I called Sarah back (by this time Fahroe being macho pegi belakang rumah nak check pakai torch light. Dia terajah ja belakang tu gelap-gelap, I dah ngeri takut ada snake.............), Madam S said masuk aja and check. So, I, being bossy cakap nak masuk jugak.

Bukak pintu, swicth on semua lampu, first thing I check, toilet belakang. Semua looks fine. Then F started nak naik atas, Khairul said to me : "Awak perempuan, awak naik last" Eleh, nak tunjuk macho jugak lah tu :p

Dua mamat ni pun satu, nak naik pakai naik ja. At least I took the payung with me so boleh la defend diri kalau ada orang tetiba muncul. (hmm??? but knowing me, I campak the payung and lari dulu, kekekeke). I thought F macho kat depan tu berani lah, tengok aku bawak payung, dia pun nak payung jugak, apa lah. We checked all rooms, I bukak semua almari, bilik air, mana nak tau ada org menyorok kat dalam ka. Sampai the 3rd floor, semua ok, no sign of break-in, tapi the tingkap mmg tak rapat. I heran as tingkap tu memang ketat sket kalau nak bukak.

We switched on all lights, rapat kan tingkap tu balik, lock the door and got out of the house. At that point I realised that I left home for one night, and the whole 5 days I tak naik atas sekali pun kat my house tu. So, after that we checked my house pulak. Naik tengok atas, semua okay, bukak belakang, toilet belakang, bukak semua almari, my walk-in wardrobe, everything looks fine. Cuak jugak la kejap. So malam tu I tido with semua lampu on, and I dah masuk rumah kunci pintu baru lah the mamat macho tu balik.

Conclusion : Rumah tak masuk pencuri, as semua jewelery masih ada, and Sarah verified the next day semua barang2 dia ada. Tapi....

macam mana tingkap tu terbukak??????

Makan Tips at Pavillion

2008-02-12T19:15:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I balik awal from work. Was supposed to go Ampang Point but ended at Pavillion. Thanks to Kaklong Shila yang sungguh pandai kecek tukar my plans.

Anyway, our mission to cari present for paklong was delayed by food. Hehehe.

I had yummy tarts at John King. Ada milk tart, egg tart and durian tart. I don't ear durian, tapi durian tart semalam tu very yummy. We also bought butter kaya toast and peanut butter thick toast at Toast Box with 2 Milo Dinosaur. The very the fattening, tapi sedap. Cancel plan nak skip dinner. Kitorang buat tempat tu macam dapur kitorang, sesuka hati tambah air sendiri sambil duduk bergossip pasal ahem-ahem. (nasib la kalau kau baca blog aku ni, kekekekeke)

After perut dah penuh, baru kitorang naik atas sampai lah 6th floor, beli baju for my paklong, before we were joined by Epi (kaklong's hubby). Saw that new hubby of Ning Baizura, hmm.. real life mat salleh tu nampak hensem jugak. :)

By the time balik, I keletihan sakit kaki panjat pavillion yang banyak tingkat tu. Saw new hp, tp rasa tunggu ja la sampai I dapat present hp baru dr orang yang patut belikan hp baru for me tu.

Hari ni mereng kat office, banyak la kerja seperti biasa. Now nak balik, mlm ni nak tido awal, otak dah tepu.

2008-02-04T19:41:00.000+08:00

I am still at office. Hmm....

Banyak sungguh kerja hari ni, sampai morello kejap sbb tensen giler. Banyak betul nak kena settle. The 2 days public holiday straight sampai sunday buat I tak menang tangan nak settle semua payment and collection by tomorrow to make sure bsp will settle come next monday.

The previous long weekend was a tiring one. It started on Thursday night, had dinner at The Mill. Lepak with colleagues to say our farewell to Helina. Pagi tadi masuk office, tengok meja next to me dah kosong dah. :(. Nasib baik si Abby ada, tapi dia pun temporary before she goes off again. Susah nak cari orang yang betul2 boleh buat kerja.

Macam hari ni, mana I buat my work sangat, banyak settlekan problem orang lain, sampai dah kena chop problem solver kat office, tapi problem sendiri tak lepas-lepas gak. Ish-ish-ish.

Friday busy shopping sana sini. By 4pm I was at home, cooking. Masak pie. Yummy. Saturday keletihan entertain mereka-mereka yang datang rumah. Ramai tanya apa occasion. Semua ingat aku nak bertunang diam-diam, ape-ape lah. Hehehe. Thanks to those yang datang, yang bawak food, I got cake, limau (kaklong : epi beli kat mana? sedap lah, habis satu kotak tu), the yummy sandwich by my dearest Ija (minah ni mmg expert buat sandwich, mmg kalau ada makan-makan, sandwich dia mmg book!), yang bawah agar-agar, yang bawak hadiah, thanks a lot. I must also thank my neighbour, Madam Sarah for helping with the baking, frying and boiling, my sis in-law for helping out setting up the food, and the most important is my darling adik & emma. This 2 really help me, tak payah kena suruh pun. Adik is knowing with the "nanti kejap lagi adik buat" and that will take him next 2 days (if you are lucky). But last Saturday, I was really impressed. Thanks a lot dear brother. I really appreciate it. In fact semalam dia singgah and I kasi reward extra pie. To those yang I dah janji and tak datang amik semalam, the pie dah licin masuk dalam my perut. :)

Semalam buat apa? Oh, kemas, and mom, and vacum semua kasi bersih. Rumah I kena serang by about 100ish people, and hasilnya, plugpoints kat dapur ada 5, semuanya kaput tak leh function. So semalam I tarik extension cord to switch on the fridge, and my over, microwave, rice cooker, kettle, and deep fryer I angkut letak on my dinning table.

Now I need to concerntrate back to work, at least another hour to go.

Happy Feet

2008-01-30T10:42:00.000+08:00

Lalalalalalalalalalala.....................

I had a good sleep last night. And a good dream too. :)

Went to Pavillion last night (with a very kind-hearted gentleman). That place is huge! I've been there few times, it has been a very convenient place to meet up especially when it rains. The road will be jammed, you can spend your time in that big shopping mall and browse the shops. Some shops mampu beli barang, some shops, mampu beli barang tapi lepas tu kopak la sampai hujung bulan, some shops pulak memang tak mampu nak beli barang-barang dalam kedai, some shops, kalau beli gak barang, tu kira mengada la.....

Anyway, tempat makan kat situ kena carefull siket. At the food court, some shops ada tanda halal, some shops, but look ordinary to me tapi tiada tanda halal buat I rasa konpius kejap. Even the restaurant pun ada yang ada tanda halal, ada yang takde, but you think should be okay kut? But to play safe, I took the shops that has tanda halal, and the halal cert was there. Nowadays that logo halal sticker is very easy to do.

Sempat tengok kasut, tapi this time ingat nak rembat Marie Claire, tapi takde pulak design menarik. My eyes dah sangkut kat this one pair of shoe kat this ********. Tapi mahal la sangat pulak. Tapi ada size la, itu banyak susah nak cari size 9! This weekend tengok mood, kalau rasa nak spend, that kasut will definately be mine! Hehehehehe.

I had a good time at clinique boutique. Got lots of free gifts. Hehehehe. (My cousin Amy kalau baca ni sure tak sabar nak balik KL and splurge herself at the cosmetic counters, hehehehe).

By the time I left the big building it was still raining, but smooth driving back home.

To the kind hearted gentleman, thank you for the good time and the good effort. (But I was seriously not joking about the items at benefits). If that one comes true, you will have the deal for one whole year, no kidding. For the time being, the 3 months duration will do! Muahs-muahs-muahs. Looking forward for the item tonight, at least that will keep me sober next 7 days, sigh.......

ps : Happy Feet will be at HBO this February, to those yang tak tengok lagi, please watch and enjoy it!

2008-01-24T09:16:00.000+08:00

Spoke to Nurin on the phone yesterday. She was down with fever, she sound so bad. Kesian my baby sorang tu. She said " Tak boleh cakap banyak-banyak lah makngah, Nurin demam lah. Nanti dah baik baru boleh cakap" Kesian dia. I hope she get well soon. I jarang dengar dia demam and so tak sihat like yesterday.

I am currently adjusting myself with my new work. Now ada banyak kerja extra since Helina is leaving to UK next weekend. Few handovers kena ambil and buat. Bertambah la kerja ini macam. Dah lah current workload pun banyak. Tapi rasa boleh buat, cuma kena adapt mentality her type of clients yang sungguh cerewet.

After the long break I had, now back to normal schedule. BSP is back on track. Next month tengok schedule busy sangat-sangat. This morning dapat info silap-silap CNY kena outstation. Aiyak, kacau I punya planning.

The returned cheque issue dah settle, no signatory. Hehehehe.

Adik punya wedding dah settle dengan jayanya on 13th Jan 2008. Although hujan lebat and kereta adik kena pecah and handbag emma kena curi, but everything went well. To those yang ada datang, terima kasih banyak-banyak. I was very happy and delighted to see many of you turn up with your family, kids and girlfriends, boyfriends yang korang sumpah korang takde. :)

I will post pictures later when I dapat dari Zain. I did not manage to use my camera at all due to the rain, and the very busy-busy-busy entertaining people and running here and there accomodating to mama instruction. At the end of the day, mama was the one smiling knowing that she was satisfied with the kenduri. Many of her old friends came. We told my dad, kenduri kakteh nanti must have 5 vip table. The 3 we prepared are not enough for his friends alone. My arwah atuk's family from Tanjung Malim pun datang ramai-ramai before all of them went to Aunty Yot's house to visit opah. (By the way Kaklong : yes, that aunty mama introduce to us, is actually our mother's cousin. She is the eldest daughter, but was given for adoption. So, yes, mama was right, she was not under stress that kenduri day. Hehehe)

To all my cousins, aunties and uncles, not forgeting nephews and nieces, thanks a lot for the big help!!! Adik was very happy of course, and he was lucky too that our cousins from abroad was here on his big day. To Chalee and Shah, sorry, this time around tak dapat lepak lama as Kakngah was really busy. Thanks Shah for that ice-cream jepun. Next time balik bawak lagi eh? Very yummy! I loved it. One box only for me okay. And to Nadira, you being here at this point of time is really a blessing for your mom, makan puas-puas kat rumah, nanti next week Sabtu datang rumah eh, kakngah masak!!! (errr.... ???? kakngah masak? yeah rite.....)

I also manage to meet up with another cousing from Australia. I was surprised to see him at the kenduri. Sempat had dinner with him and wife at Iza's house the next day and as expected, full of doink jokes. He has always makes us laugh no matter how serious he tried.

Nanti petang sket will update on my Kuala Selangor trip last weekend. I didn't know there are so many things to do and visit in that small town.

Account Balance : RM 1.01

2008-01-21T09:14:00.000+08:00

Returned home to KL yesterday after spending 3 days in Kuala Selangor, just to find out that my bank account balance is RM1.01.

Like what??? How did that happened to me? Whua...............

Checked dalam internet, saw the cheque banked-in on Thursday was returned. How could that had happened? Dah la aku yang transfer money, aku prepare cheque untuk semua orang, cheque aku pulak kena returned? Aiyoyo!!!

There goes my plan to singgah IKEA for a while before it close to buy my new matress. Punya takde mood, went for dinner, then home, terus tido.

Now nak pergi bank and check why? My other colleagues got their cheques cleared today. Next 3 days jadi papa kedana jap. I have money in RHB, but now I don't know where I put my ATM. The card is being sorok for purpose of emergency or I will spend every single money. :) But this is emergency, and I forgot where i sorok. Malam nanti kena carik balik. Apa lah. Another account is under mama's supervision, so no way I can touch that money (don't even think of it).

Going to bank now!

Back To Work Today, Back To Off Days Tomorrow.... Again

2008-01-16T19:46:00.000+08:00

I just got back to work today. There are so many things to settle today. Finished 3/4 of all the pending things in "for aida's urgent attention". Tu tak tengok lagi "for aida's attention" punya tray.

Need to settle these urgent things today before I go off tonight. Tomorrow & Friday are another off days. I will be away from tomorrow and for the weekend. Should be back to KL on Sunday.

Europe trip is cancelled, so I will be in Malaysia next week, not the place I planned to be. But I have other plans too for next weekend. So, I should be okay. I can always go to Europe some other time ( and my boss is paying for it, :p )

Take care everyone!

More Tragedy

2008-01-09T12:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a sad day for my sister in-law, kaklin, as her eldest brother passed away yesterday at about 4pm. Jenazah telah di kebumikan di kampung Kuala Pilah. I hope kaklin and her family akan banyak-banyak bersabar atas kematian arwah abang long.

I feel sad as arwah made the effort to move from JB to Shah Alam last Aidilfitri and hoping to spend more time with his siblings in KL. However, Allah dah menjemput arwah. Semoga arwah abang long mendapat tempat di kalangan orang-orang yang beriman. Al-fatihah.

Update on opah :
Dah discharge petang semalam, now ada kat rumah aunty yot. I went to visit her last night. My cousin, Nadira is back from Moscow last week as soon as she got to know about opah's admission at hospital. Bangteh a.k.a. Chalee just arrived yesterday from Ireland. Tak tau la Shah jadi balik ka tak from Japan. Opah memang very close with her grand children, knowing everyone's favourite, everyone's temper, and everyone's childishness. :)

We are all accepting the fact sooner or later, she will go and leave us, but we would like her to go in less pain. She has not spoken that much since Sunday, her body was half paralysed, but she recovered it back on Monday. The cancer has spread to most of her brain and liver and at 84 year old, her body will reject chemotherapy and just hang-in there on pain killers, which is not doing any good at the moment.

I'll be on another long leave. I will be back to work on Wednesday, 16th Jan 2008.

Take care everyone!

Adik's Wedding at Simpang Pulai

2008-01-07T19:02:00.000+08:00

Above is picture of my family at adik's wedding in Simpang Pulai. This was during the bersanding ceremony at bride's house on 29th Jan 2007. Here in picture are : Mama, Adik & Emma, Babah, Kakteh, Ayong with Nurin, Kaklin with Sofea, Hariz and myself.

All of us posed tersenyum riang, tapi actually tengah sabar tahan panas. It was a very hot afternoon at Simpang Pulai that day. :)

The akad nikah the day before was held at Masjid Besar Ipoh. Adik had the solemnisation only once, and that was the only time in my life I saw adik's face really serious. Kalau tak, muka Ferhad (the singer) version kartun.

Both bride & groom pun memang macam kartun aja, hehehe. Everything went well despite some disagreements I had with mom. Last minute banyak pulak dia tukar plan buat kitorang pening kepala nak handle. And when we were late that Friday morning due trying to accommodate her orders, kitorang jugak kena marah. Sabar aja la. I know my mom, she wants everything to be perfect and the best for his youngest son. Nasib baik kakteh was cool (which I was surprised, hehehe). I was happy to see some unexpected people who turned up at Simpang Pulai, like our close family friends from came all the way from Sungai Petani, an old and very close friend of my dad from Ipoh, my uncle Nuar & aunty Comel who came during the akad nikah, and my aunty Yot & uncle Wahid. I know aunty Yot was exhausted taking care of opah, but she made it to Simpang Pulai before rushing back to KL

Preparation for the groom's side kenduri this weekend are almost 90% siap. Most of us are just anxious to wait for the day to be over. As I am writing this, mom is smsing me last minute things to get. She said she has sent the plates for main table through ayong, but she would appreciate if I can get the plates that I told her I will buy before Thursday. Apa la, cannot decide! Hmm... But have replied, nope, no more extra cost, guna aja apa aja, pinggan tu okay ja, takde cacat cela.

To those cousins, aunties, uncles, grandaunties, friends that attended the ceromony, thank you very much. To those yang sakit perut (apparently only few of us survived tak dapat sakit perut, the whole entourage sakit perut that Saturday night/Sunday morning including my dad, the groom, and the bride's mother. Ada la tu food yang tak betul at the kenduri) sila claim elaun medical anda direct dengan adik okay.

Death, Sickness, To Live

2008-01-04T19:12:00.000+08:00

I woke up at almost 8am this morning. Tidur lena sungguh last night, payah betul nak bangun. I heard few phone calls since 7am, but my mind was still sleeping, did not bother to answer. Then I saw I had 4 missed calls from my maklong. I was worried if anything happened to her or opah (Opah is warded at GH since Sunday). When I called back, maklong said that one of my very close friend's father (who is also a very close family friend) passed away this morning at 4am. It was Pakcik Ibrahim, Saiful's father.

I had known Saiful since 2001, we had remained close although he moved to Miri last 3 years. And we found out that his mom is a good friend to my maklong and my mom. And his family knows opah very well. I always lepak his house, although when Saiful was not around. Arwah pakcik will always call me for dinner at his house. Makcik pulak masak sedap, hehehe, orang bujang macam saya memang best la balik office makan home cook meal. Sometimes I will decline, with excuse that I have dinner function or I have to work late (ye lah, segan la asyik makan free aja), but Makcik will definately tapau and make sure I will get the food. Arwah pakcik has always treated me like a family, and if I lama tak jenguk dia, he will call and ask "Ida ni dah sombong sangat tak nak jenguk pakcik". The past 4 years he has been in-out hospital for quite sometime. And I always make sure I visit him. I went to his house last 3 weeks to deliver adik's invitation, but found out that he was in GH again. Last I saw arwah pakcik was at Saiful's wedding last year and he looked good. This morning, arwah passed away peacefully at 4am at age 72.

I went to pay my last respect for arwah pakcik this morning with maklong. On the way back, maklong update me with Opah's condition. She is really in pain, and none of the pain killers do any good. Opah will have to go for a head scan this monday as her headache is continuous that she couldn't take it anymore. I've spoken with her over the phone yesterday, she reminded me not to fight with mama at least until the kenduri is settled. Hmm...

I'm sleeping at GH tonight, releasing my aunts for one night. As I will be busy from tomorrow onwards with all the last minute things to do for adik's kenduri, I guess not sleeping tonight should not be a problem. Opah needs 100% attention. None of my aunts will leave opah on her own. They are pastering Epi to bring opah home where she will be more comfortable at her own house, but Epi said no, this time must stay a bit longer. Hmm.....

Last night, a friend of mine sent a sms saying that her daughter (5 years old) is having a heart problem and will be admitted to IJN next week. I hope she has the strength to go through it, and I pray her daughter will get well soon. Although she is only 5, but she knows she has illness. Whenever I visit them, I always hear her daughter said "Ain tahu Ain sakit kan aunty Aida, tapi kan Ain kuat, Ain kena kuat untuk mama Ain"

I wish I can have Ain's strength......

2008-01-03T10:31:00.000+08:00

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later, I'll get what I'm asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
That truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger, I gotta let my spirit be free

To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you

I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking ties
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could

Stop, admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I gotta be strong
And leave you behind

If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
Still a part of me and you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything i do

Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you

This is not a poem I created, it is the lyrics of Jordin's song : Tattoo.
Nothing to do with new year's resolution or state of my mental. I'm just fine. Hehehehe.

2008

2008-01-02T09:37:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year everyone!

I had a good ending, and a good start. A good feeling to start the new year. (But that is before the drama starts. Hehehehe)

The last episode for 2007

2007-12-22T13:07:00.000+08:00

How was everyone's raya haji break? I had a good one. Was at opah's. My grandma is not well, she is in pain. I feel sorry for her, I wish I can do something to ease the pain. But, at the moment, non of the pain killers are helping. Her whole body is aching, some parts of her body system are not functioning well. I just hope, if she has to leave us, she will go in peace, without the pain. But my opah is one strong lady. If she has to fight it, she will fight it.

All of us arrived quite early at opah's house. My aunties cooked delicious yummy food. The kids enjoyed themselves. (kaklong : the chocalate indulgence habis by us at the end. That is why I tak singgah and hantar kek, licin petang tu). I spend the time catching up with aunties, picit kepala & badan opah, and at the same time took advantage while my sister and cousins were there to finish up the doorgifts for adik's wedding. And we managed to complete it, finally. Yeay! I also finished most of the wedding invitations that day. I am afraid if my nenek's house (the other grandma: dad's mother) can accept all the people we have invited. Too many la nak jemput, family ja dah ramai. One of my aunt said that my mom ni nak glamer sangat-sangat buat kenduri besar-besar. But she is not aware that family invitation ja dah dekat 700 people. How??? I remember ayong's wedding 10 years back, we had about 4000 people came to the wedding. But at that time we had a very big house with a very-very-very big compound (my brothers used to play cricket and football with his friends, so you can imagine how big???)

I also visited my other grandma on raya haji. Went quite late in the evening, and am glad to see all my cousins were there. Belah nenek ni, kalau dah jumpa, riuh rumah nenek tu. Nenek kitorang garang, tapi cucu semua dia sayang. Hehehehe. Everyone is excited for Adik's wedding. It has been a while takde kenduri kawin kat rumah nenek. With the exception of my ayong, the rest of us held our kenduri kawin at nenek's house. Memang dah jadi tradisi. (Although my dad always think that another of his child will have the exception again soon)

Later that night, adik and myself went to visit Toksu and Nani. Nani masak best. (asyik makan ja satu hari raya tu). We delivered invitation cards.

This weekend I'm planning to rest a bit. Tonight I will be busy finishing the gifts for the bride's family. Adik???? you better come, or I will kill you!!!! :) So much about helping me out, eh? Nasib baik ada kakteh.

Jap.... rest? hmm.. rasa tidak kut. Lots of things to be done. Cousins coming tonight, going out with cousins and adik to get things tomorrow and deliver the invitation. Mama pesan, to the elders kena bagi by hand, go and visit them, jangan post. Hmm...

One thing to do before the new year, kena stop makan. I have not control my food intake for the past one whole week. Belasah ja masuk perut ikut suka. I think hari rabu malam aja tak makan, tapi siang tu dah masuk macam-macam. Next week diet!!! *hmm.... boleh ka???*

Next week nak pegi membeli belah. I should pamper myself this end of year. And need to get some presents for some people. I have not buy my shoe. Pegi KLCC dah 3 kali this week, tapi beli kasut nya tidak. Asyik tak sempat aja. Tengok wayang la, beli buku la, beli kain la, beli barang rumah la, tapi kasut yang nak sangat tu, tak beli-beli jugak. Benda-benda lain tu tak masuk dalam list pun wajib beli.

2008 is coming. Cepat sungguh masa berlalu. Sedar tak sedar, there goes the year. This will be my last post for the year. I don't think I will post anything until 2008. Unless I am so bored, have nothing else to do, then probably I will update the blog. I will be on leave from 26th Dec 2007 until the new year.

This year has been the toughest year in my life. Both good and bad things happened at the same time made me realised, my life is not so bad compared to others. Yes, I've been tested in so many ways, but at the end, I survived. The happy things happened this year somehow helped me to move on to 2008 with a wider perspective of myself. The accomplishment I've achieved made me realised that hardwork, sincerity, patience and forgiveness will always help you in your life.

I hope everyone have had a good life this year. I'll be back after the new year with more dramas ok. Definately more interesting. Believe me, it will.

Take care everyone!

Cuti Macam Tak Cuti!

2007-12-18T14:22:00.000+08:00

Hari ni banyak kerja. Hari Khamis dah confirm cuti, tapi rasanya macam tak cuti aja. Banyak benda nak buat. And this weekend too.

I'm almost finish doing the doorgift for adik's wedding. Jari dah kebas dah ngadap benda tu every single day. My house dah jadi kedai keraftangan. Hehehe. I have another 100 pieces to do to complete the 1,400 that mom requested me and kakteh to do. Kakteh finished hers!!! Cet. (Kakteh : Friday night please come to bukit and do the gifts for the bride's family, I don't think my hands can handle doing the ribbons, you know me, so tak de creativity)

I just hope to end the trauma soon, and then my house will get back to normal. Hmm.... Come to think again, it will semak again with barang2 for kakteh's wedding pulak. I better start charging them storage fees macam ni. Tu tak masuk lagi service deliver wedding invitation, my service fee for my ideas what to do, what to buy, the dry-cleaning fee, and so on. Nanti bila aku punya kenduri besok, budak 2 orang ni tak help, siap la. To those cousins who came and helped me, and the cousin coming this Sunday to help (jangan nak ngelat ye...I need your magic hands) , thanks a lot.

Okay, house issues :

1) Bila nak buat house warming???? Wei, aku dah pokai la, habis duit. Getting bonus next month, bayar hutang, hehehehe. And need to get that RM800 worth of tilam (like ???? that tilam better be worth it, or somebody will get a sekeh from me for introducing such mattress).

2) The sofa will have to wait. I'm only changing the cushions and covers ja. Since I will be moving again in 3 years time, it is better for me to buy later, to suit the new house I'm buying (yes, am buying a house, dah start looking, but will seriously hunt for it april next year.... valid reason to wait for April 08 :) ......) But again, knowing me, if I can find my dream sofa, and have money at that time, I'll just get it.

3) I have 2 favourite kids loiterring my house every day. :)
And these 2 kids are cool. They are my next door neighbour's children. Every morning they will send me off at the gate, cheerfully. And whenever I return home early, there will be people happily greeting me and says : Mommy at works! (hinting Madame S......... hehehehehe). I think kena buat secret access for these 2 kids. Sometimes while I tengah siap in the morning, from my bedroom upstairs I can hear "Aunty Aida! Aunty Aida!" wanting me to open the door. Or sometimes they will shout beep-beep, signalling that they are outside the house. Hehehehe. But I love having them from time to time. Having kids around can be very tiring, but, if they are their own like I always crave for, it is worth the tiring. Hmm... Ok, stop that topic now before I cry.

4) I need to do some renovating-repairing-repainting work for the new house. Tengah negotiate with owner who is now in Cork, Ireland apa nak buat dulu. I might make use of the whole house while I'm staying there. Tapi nak kemas rumah ni, penat la. 2 and half storey with backyard and front to clean!!. Both next door neighbours's maids are watering the plants for me for time being. :). I belum operate the washing machine yet. (Mr Handyman with tools and gadgets, kindly spare the time la and fix the necessary... my laundry bills is increasing as I am sending everything (langsir, comforter, chair cushion covers) to the laundry) Dapur dah start guna, tapi buat simple food aja. Nak pegi beli groceries this weekend and penuhkan my fridge.

Work issues :
1) Bank guarantee - settle!

2) To pay bonus one month - settle my part, waiting for bos to sign the cheques

3) BSP - huh, that is a weekly issue. I handle it as it comes

4) Taking leave and going to Europe next month - approved!
Yeay! Chairman cakap boleh pergi, tapi kena siapkan semua benda yang dia nak tu, and make sure collect enough money before I go. (Like I tak tau nak kena buat tu semua before I go???) Hmm.. can't wait for next month. I need a break too. It is FOC, everything paid for, tapi duit belanja kena bawak sendiri. This is not our Company's package, we are buying it from another travel agent who is organising it. Bawak la sket pocket money nak beli souvenirs.

Okay, I kena stop now. Nanti jap lagi sambung....

Feeling Doink!

2007-12-15T13:52:00.000+08:00

Seriously doink today. Since Thursday night!

Just got well from vomitting, bodyache, terible headache, fever and so on. So I am so not in the mood. Thanks to all aunts & cousins who took care of my meal while I was sick.

Hari ni doink lain pulak sebab someone decided to become an ass and insult my day!

The new house is fantastic, at least something to look forward to after long tiring day at office. The house is very cozy. Finished unpacked everything. Will start cooking today (took me 2 weeks to kemas... I have lots of things!)

To those who have helped, thanks.
To those who have made time and dropped by, thanks.
To those who have not and expecting my grand house warming party, think again, not very soon eh...
To those coming tonight, please close one eye for all the doorgift thingy for adik's weeding on my dining table. At least I've cleared the front so we can eat, watch tv, and my ears are all yours for whatever to be discussed tonight.

Am going holiday next month, desparately need the break, desparately. Need to go to far far away land.

Nanti la update lagi, bila dah tak feeling doink!

Angkasawan & Me

2007-12-03T09:11:00.001+08:00

I don't care whatever stories I heard about his personal life, but having taken the picture above last night during Malam ANSARA dinner at Seri Pacific Hotel made my day after the long tiring moving house process.

Tido lena malam tadi. :)

Will blog about pindah rumah later.

I need more.............

2007-11-29T09:46:00.001+08:00

Good day everyone!

I'm in a good mood today as I had a very good sleep last night. Maybe I was too tired with the moving houses process. But it was very easy to sleep last night. Put my head on the pillow and zzzzzzzzz.

Woke up very early this morning. I was wondering where I was, after a while I realised I was at the new house. Need to familiar myself with the new surroundings. The sound of cars passing by in the morning, the sound of kuali of neighbours behind my house preparing for breakfast. I love the sound of the morning birds, at least I still have that to cheer me up early morning.

The new house is cool and cozy. Got my key last Tuesday, had send some things there. Need to sweep and mop tonight and then bring the rest of the things. I need to move the big things this Sunday. I have :

1 queen bed
1 single bed
4 wardrobe
3 cabinets
4 small book rack
1 dining table
1 set of kerusi rotan
2 standing fan
1 shoe rack
1 fridge
1 washing machine
1 stove
1 big plate rack
1 big tv
2 coffee table
2 side trolleys
1 tv rack
1 big carpet
and my whole set of pinggan mangkuk and periuk belanga
(tapi masak nya tidak!!!)

Hmm.... must get a big lorry! I got to know last night that I have 75 pieces of all kinds of tudung (scarf, tudung bawal, selendang, and so on. Kaler biru aja aku ada 8 different type of blue!) hmm.......

To my adik (please heret emma too) and kakteh, kindly make yourself available this Saturday and help me.

To my tukang cuci kipas, hari ahad jangan ngelat! You can clean your house tonight, but Sunday must lap all the kipas and tingkap, no excuse. I'll get the tangga for you. :p

What I need for the new house?
1 set of new sofa. The kerusi rotan shall be passed to who???
1 new tilam as I'm currently using the provided mattress by my tuan rumah. And I'm leaving the other old mattress.
New curtains.
New big carpet (lantai rumah ni sejuk la)
New small carpet for upstairs
Plastic containers to keep stuff of new tuan rumah that she left behind so I can stack them at the attic.
New plants/flowers for the front area outside. Can have my own mini garden, if rajin!

Both bosses and anak boss are outstation at the moment. So aku boleh multi-skipping hari ni and besok. Hehehe. But today ada banyak benda nak settle, chairman left me with lots of documents for me to go through while he is away. Kalau tinggalkan duit kan bagus, still not enough for next Monday's bsp.

Oh, lagi satu, this morning, as I was about to go to work, my darling neighbour, Madam Sarah Azreen bukak pintu and said : Da, meh la breakfast dulu!

Oh, heaven nya untuk orang bujang macam aku! :)

I need!!!!

2007-11-28T09:05:00.000+08:00

I desperately need/want/must get a GPS!!!!

Hari sabtu sesat kat sri gombak, ahad pagi sesat kat ampang, semalam pagi sesat kat PJ!

Nak GPS yang ada sexy husky male voice. Ada ke????? Kalau suara macam tu, dia cakap 100 kali suruh "where ever possible, please make a u-turn" pun I tak kesah!

Who knows where I can get it, please let me know.

Nak masuk meeting!

Letter To Aunty Dah....

2007-11-27T09:44:00.000+08:00

Aunty Dah is my mother's youngest sister. Being the youngest, she is the coolest Aunty among all. My other auties are cool too when they are not letering, hehehehe. But Aunty Dah is the most easygoing. I would like to say to her :

Dear Aunty Dah,

Thanks for having us last Saturday night at the very last minute.

Thanks for taking care of Opah on Saturday and still look out for my dad while mama & me was out to shop.

Thanks for fixing us dinner at 12midnight. I know you were tired and I should have continued washing the dishes. But I know too that it was your sink, your teritory, hehehehe.

Thanks for prepaparing breakfast for mom and dad.

Thanks for fixing opah's room for me to sleep comfortably.

Thanks for allowing me to put all my frozen stuff in the freezer. Will take it once I'm done moving to the new house.

Thanks for allowing me to park the car and keeping an eye for me. Will take it out by this weekend once the owner is back in KL.

Thanks for the delicious dinner on Friday night. What more can I say? Yummy and delicious as always. It was worth waiting for chik to comeback and had dinner all 3 of us.... although airliur dah meleleh tengok itu ikan bilis and udang and perut dah nyanyi lagu lapar.

Thanks for giving me the space to place the cookies. You can have the cheesecake all to yourself. Kalau Epi datang, bagi cookies aja, cheesecake dia dah rembat kat rumah aunty yot.

Thanks for taking care of my mom at Aunty Namah's house last Sunday night and send her back home to nenek's house.

I can't wait for your masak toucu. Please let me know once it is ready! Hehehehe.

Don't worry, I'll take care of you in your older days, whether or not I have a family of my own. You have been like a mom to me all these while. Please take care of your health ok? If I don't show you that much of appreciation before this, I am truly sorry. I'll see you soon.

Penat

2007-11-26T18:51:00.000+08:00

Oh, otak aku penat sungguh hari ni. Sampai pukul 5pm tadi baru lega as managed to sort out BSP. Fuhhh...... risau jugak tadi. Last minute one of the bank called to inform us ada problem la pulak. Tadi pagi cakap okay, lagi 30minutes bank nak tutup baru cakap tak okay. Siot aja. Nasib baik chairman masuk office hari ni, baru dia tau betapa seksanya kerja aku.

How I wish I'm at home, can watch TV! Dah 3 days tak tengok tv, hmm..........

I had a very tiring weekend. Had to attend to mom! Nasib baik adik datang semalam, kalau tak, memang nak kena sekeh adik sorang tu. But lega rasa most of things we managed to get through out the weekend, despite the hindraft riot yesterday. I almost got stuck at Ampang Point yesterday morning. I was having breakfast with my cousin, while makan, we realised there were many Indians in that area. I noted on my way to pick up my cousin, the Hindu temple near the elevated highway exit was full of people, but that is a normal scenario for Sunday morning as they were having their prayers. But after realised that we should make our move, after sending back Amy, than only I noted there were at least 6 buses at the temple. I guess they just arrived from Batu Cave and was trying to enter Jalan Ampang. By that time, there were many policemen, FRU trucks, the indians were already lining up trying to rempuh the line set up by the FRUs.

I had no choice but to reverse and take the other way as the road heading to my house was blocked. Went into Jalan Ampang, took the elevated from Ampang. There were already many Indians walking up the elevated trying to go to city. Took the Tun Razak exit, bulatan Pahang and head to Gombak. After 30minutes, I am safe at grandma's house.

2 major riot in 2 weeks time? After this, who's next? Hmm...

I did go to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman with mama, adik & emma at 5pm. By that time, the road was cleared and no traffic at all.

Ala, otak dah penat la... nak balik. Besok aah sambung!

Perempuan, Isteri & Jambu

2007-11-23T10:28:00.000+08:00

I went to watch a play last night at The Annexe, Central Market. The Annexe used to be a cinema but now it is a gallery cum studio cum theatre. I went with my sister, Amila or also known in this blog as kakteh. We were having our sisterhood bonding last night. (My father, ayong and adik must be smilling reading this.... yes, we had dinner, talk, watch the play together, hehehehe.) We had fun.

Last night was a solo session performance. It has 2 short plays. The first, titled as Perempuan, Isteri & Jambu, is about a colleage student who has to write a paper on race and gender based on Malaysian movies of the '80s and '90s. It was a one woman, one actor play. The subject was a serious one touching on race, gender, pollitical issues, unity of us Malaysians. The second, How Did the Cat Get So Fat?, is a story of a young girl having a dream and travelled around Singapore and met different people with different point of view on multi-cultural nation. The second play is more funny and witty, but the issue they touched is the same.

I do not wish to elaborate more on that topic. Not today. Too heavy for me on a Friday.

Okay, have to stop now. Need to focus on work now.

Kakteh : Thanks. Start working on your F language. See you soon. Ofo Kefe?

OM - Thai Restaurant

2007-11-22T11:04:00.001+08:00

Kat mana kedai ni?
Jalan Setapak. The middle part of it. The same row with Kenny Rogers, near apartment/flat tepi jalan. From KL will be on your left, if you are from MRR2, Danau Kota, Wangsa Maju, it should be on you right.

Apa diorang serve?
Segala benda masakan Thai. Segala resipi masakan Thai ada kat sini. Boleh pesan for kurang pedas, kurang masin. The mushroom has 10 different type of cooking. Air dia lebih 30 jenis to choose. Masak tomyam pun banyak style aku tengok dalam menu tu.

Price?
Ada yang cheap, ada yang mahal. Tapi hari tu aku order punya banyak makan untuk 5 orang, bayar RM26. Air dah la gelas besar. Kira ni kalau hari-hari makan pun takpe. Hehehehe. But price okay.

Taste of food?
Yummy!

The place?
Restaurant biasa aja. Tak cikai, tak glamer

Parking?
Ini problem. Very limited. I suggest korang parking kat open space near KFC before the entrance to Kenny Rogers. Tak jauh, jalan 2 minint dah sampai.

Okay, nak buat kerja. Baru masuk. Tadi pergi GH, amik ubat. Yeay, ubat free!!!!

Letter to dad

2007-11-21T16:10:00.000+08:00

I got this from my friend Irma. I wished I had done this to my dad upon asking him to sign my report card those days. In my previous post, I did mention that signing report card is like sending internal memo in the house. As dad was a very busy man, I usually left the report card on his dressing table with a very long memo explaining reasons why I got D for Maths and scored the rest. And he will reply back with a very short note : Usaha lagi! Sometimes if my letter is too pathetic, he will reply, don't worry, you are still my daughter, usaha tangga kejayaan. Bila terkenang balik, hmm.... made me smile.

Must read till the end…

A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished tosee the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he sawan envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It wasaddressed "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelopeand read the letter with trembling hands.......

Dear Dad,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'mleaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted toavoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real happiness with Randyand he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too -even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's not onlythe this happiness Dad, I'm pregnant and Randy said that he wants me tohave the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy ismuch older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days, is it?), and has nomoney, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship,don't you agree?

Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in thewoods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true he has othergirlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to me in his ownway.

He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of mydreams too.Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he'llbe growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all thecocaine we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a curefor AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care ofmyself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get toknow your grandchildren.

Your loving daughter,Rosie.

At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO". Hands stilltrembling, and slight pain in the chest her father turned the sheet, and read:

PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbour'shouse. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than myreport card that's in my desk center drawer. Please sign it and callwhen it is safe for me to come home. I love you!

To my father : Thank you babah for your love, kindness and all the things you thought me in life (the hard & easy way). I know I am being rebel at a very wrong age, but I'll come back to the basics soon. You always thought me that, just need a bit more time, but I'll be fine.

The Rocks!

2007-11-20T19:58:00.001+08:00

Rindu betul nak makan benda ni. My darling Eddy Toh takde, he is on 2 weeks break. He is in Kashmir now, ikut my boss and his teacher bercuti kat sana. So, takde sape nak pegi The Loaf at Pavillon beli my rocks this whole week. Hmmm..... :(

Suicide at 12???

2007-11-20T19:34:00.000+08:00

Read the news about a girl who committed suicide for not getting her expected results for UPSR. Hmm..... I feel sorry for the girl and her family.

She is only 12, have not lived to the fullest yet, so many things to go through in life. UPSR is important, but not getting As does not mean it is end of the world.

I know some parents are really pushing too hard on their children's studies even at a very young age. Hey, they are just kids. Yes, you need to dicipline them while they are still young, but please don't be so hard on them. Mama used to push us in our studies, but at a moderate amount. She encourage us, showed us the benefits of having good education and not just to settle down for cukup makan results. But if we failed, she never scolded us really bad, always remind us to try harder next time. It is not the end of the world yet. We had to dicipline ourselves with our timetable. Ada masa makan, tengok tv, main, and study and lepak!

I remembered when I got my UPSR results. I was so frustrated to get B for my maths. I was very confident to get A. And I remembered crying so hard, but mama made me realised that day that I'm just a kid. There will always be more exams to show that I'm good in Maths. When I was in my final year in Beseri, Mama had always sent letters reminding me not to be too active in my debate society. I was travelling here and there for debate competition, but one thing good about MRSM, I got personal tutions from my teachers. She still did the same thing when I was in Canberra. Hantar surat/poslaju. Ingat kan apa, rupanya reminder suruh study, jangan nak main-main kat oversea. Hehehehe.

Nowadays, competition is very tight even in primary school. My nephew had to settle for number 4 in class last year as his name starts from H (Hariz). No. 1-4 achieved the same mark. Hmmm.... Being single, that is one thing I don't have to worry (yet to worry) about children education. But I can always voice my concerns to my nephew and nieces. Between my siblings, I envy ayong for his brain, I envy kakteh for her hardwork. She really proved herself and her family that she is like the rest of us, slow and steady. Adik, hmm... he is the rajin one. Always consistence. Me??? the last minute one. Hehehehehe.

But something need to be done to our education syllabus. Banyak hampeh la. Okay la, have to stop now. Nak balik.

Network down

2007-11-19T18:17:00.000+08:00

Hari ni masuk office, discovered network card aku dah burnt. And somebody used my pc on Saturday (my offday) and did not shut down properly. Satu office tak boleh buat kerja. So my colleague fixed others first as they need to issue tickets and do hotel bookings. Mine was the last to be fixed. Itu pun dia buat apa entah guna line temporary. (Which I'm not going to explain as I'm not sure what it is all about, and I don't bother, janji computer aku boleh on, and boleh pakai buat kerja)

First thing I did was to kira duit, of course. Hey, I'm paid to calculate money in this office. Hehehe. I wish I have that kind of money. Then I checked my emails la, apa lagi. Tu dia.... berduyun-duyun masuk. I've replied the necessary, the balance will check tomorrow. Reading & replying email can be cumbersome betul. So much of bringing in my gadgets today to upload pix. I'll do it towards end of the week then. The next few days will be busy. (Aida : bila nyer tak busy??? Hmm...)

Oh, few of my readers hantar email tanya apa address to my other blogsites. Hehehehe. This is my one and only blog, I have no other. Nak maintain ni pun liat, and tak reti, you think I have time to maintain other blogsites? The other blogsites that I wrote in my previous posting is refering to my friends' blogs/personal website that I read daily. I have quite a number of sites that I go through each day (you guys know who you are) and actively commenting this and that. Hehehehehe. I know some of you had questioned me why I did not link their blogs to mine like they link my blog to theirs. Bukan nya tak sayang korang, tapi nanti bapak panjang la itu listing. I tend to keep it simple and minimal. Better off that way. Nanti apa I comment kat other blogs pun karang tak pasal-pasal tukang kepoh aku nak kutuk. Hehehehe.

And some people also asked me why no more juicy drama? Hehehe, that one I tend to keep to myself. Better that way kan? Tak hurt sape-sape. Nanti karang aku kena kutuk lagi kat blog orang tak pasal-pasal, padahal tak buat salah apa pun. So biar lah. I am happy with my life now, with/without a man, getting/not getting my pc to marry me, ended up with the correct/wrong guy, hey, itu cerita saya. I know tukang kepoh will definately be bored. Please get some other blog to gossip about eh? But, if terhappen aku terletak juicy details kat sini, itu aku punya suka lah. Aku punya blog. Hehehehe.

Okay-okay, now nak sambung buat kerja. Need one hour to siapkan one very important work thing. Chow, besok I update some pix and cool things I've done over the weekend.

ps :
To my cousin Amy and Ma'in : Sorry tak sempat nak drop by over the weekend. Someone decided to come back home to KL without planning and disturbed all my plan. Shopping kasut pun tak sempat.

To my friend yang still dengki no link to his blog : Eh, aku top commentator kat blog abang aku pun dia takde la nak link kan my blog to his. Tapi blog link dia punya la panjang!

To my darling ayong : Sorry huh, hari ni kutuk/kata ayong kat banyak blog. Jangan marah, kakngah sayang ayong. Muahs.........

Ta.

BSP dah okay

2007-11-15T18:48:00.000+08:00

Yeay, finally I dah boleh nak balik. Punya la happy! Okay, bsp hari Isnin ni RM930k. Tinggal lagi RM100k nak cari. Tadi received email, one client dah tt RM70k to our account. Hopefully petang besok dah clear. So can use Monday morning to do RENTAS transaction. Lagi RM30k tadi one of my sales person cakap client dia transfer besok, do my problem is settle! Yeay! Just need to make sure all these transaction go through. If not, aku kena suruh big boss advance dulu la. Nanti duit clear bayar la dia balik.

Pas ni nak balik, nak mandi, nak sambung kemas apa yang patut. Nanti after next weekend or whenever the new house is clear, I need to hantar barang sikit-sikit after office hour. Then need to select one weekend and angkat all my furniture. For a single lady, I do have a lot of things! Hmm.... My pinggan mangkuk, my periuk belanga, all the complete set to cater 100 people anytime. Ni pengaruh mama la ni. Dah biasa kut. Tapi sejak duduk apartment ni kurang rajin la buat makan-makan. I think because of small space kut. Ni nak pindah rumah 2 tingkat setengah ni tak tau la macam mana. Rajin ka kemas nanti? Hmmm..... Dulu, I minah clean freak!!! But now I minah malas kemas rumah. Huh, aida........ you turned into a worst lady!

Okay, nak balik. Weekend ni I nak shopping! Nak beli kasut baru. And some other stuff too for the new house. Tapi cannot over spend. Last week dah sakan shopping untuk rumah baru. Now I need to beli langsir!

I will not continue my ngomel about aborting English language for Maths and Science. I dah habis sakan give all my thoughts to my other blogsites. Penat la nak type 2 kali. Nak cut & copy paste pun aku malas! Hehehe.

Until tomorrow....

bp level

2007-11-15T11:11:00.000+08:00

Hehehe, hari ni masuk office, check email, semua orang tanya : So, how's bp level last night? ada okay? Hehehehe

I did not check my bp last night, did not meet my aunty last night. Left office early yesterday, arrived home at 6pm and went straight to bed. Kepala pusing gila. Tersedar at almost nine, makan (perut lapar!!) and went straight to bed until this morning. I had a very good sleep. Bangun pagi ni rasa lega gila. A good sleep is something that is very rare for me. So I feel great this morning.

Masuk office? hmmm... same old story. Hehehe. Takpe, kerja ja la macam biasa. Macam tak reti nak solve semua problem tu. Hahahaha.

Okay. Semalam kata nak ngomel. Ni nak komplen pasal abolish duit satu sen. I have a big box of duit satu sen. Apa nak buat dengan duit tu? Already I'm using 5 cents for my toll every morning. I think ada dekat RM69 duit satu sen tu. Kena hantar bank la macam ni, karang duit tak laku bazir aja. Tapi bagus jugak diorang demolish duit satu sen tu. Aku setuju sangat-sangat. Demolish maths & science dalam english, kureng sket. I still think it is not good to teach the whole subject in english, but I still don't think it is not good to abort the whole program. Probably buat untuk form 3- form 5 students. At least students have 7 years to brush up their english. Memang susah, tapi kena fikir jugak cara nya. Kalau study excel, tapi English out, camne nak study oversea? Study kat local uni pun perlu brush up in English. Books kan banyak yang pakai dalam english kan? Nanti nak kerja, nak interview, semua in English. How?

My alumni tengah ngomel dalam group email cakap should abolish sebab susah untuk sekolah-sekolah di luar bandar nak pick-up as English is not their native language. My friend Daniel, an english teacher in one of the leading school in PJ, is having problem teaching the so-called bandar boys to pronounce simple word in English.

Okay-okay, aku punya english macam la berabuk. Tulis pun rojak (eh, tapi ni blog aku, aku punya suka lah) Time kerja tak boleh la, kena buat betul-betul, hehehe. Tapi I think mesti ada kesedaran di kalangan semua yang bahasa inggeris ni perlu. Some parents habisan duit hantar anak tusyen, tapi anak tak reti-reti jugak. To me, you need to practise! My parents ada hari kena cakap english! Sape cakap melayu or bahasa lain, kena denda 10sen (zaman kanak-kanak saya, 10sen tu banyak besar). And wajib baca English paper. Tak hilang keimanan kita kalau cakap English.

Aiseh, got to go, ada meeting. Jap lagi sambung ngomel. Belum habis tau!

2007-11-14T10:52:00.000+08:00

Hari ni masuk-masuk office, punya la banyak payment nak kena approve. Diorang ni tau duit keluar aja, duit masuk nya tak reti-reti nak bother. Kejap lagi ada la sales people yang nak kena leter ngan aku hari ni.

Hmm...

Don't worry, I am fine okay. Despite bogged down with work, I am still alright. Jangan malam ni nak pegi klinik check BP dia naik sudah la. I need to see my aunt on other matters, alang-alang jumpa kat klinik, will check my BP. Kalau naik, besok sure doink la! Hehehe.

This week punya BSP is still same issue, last night due to heavy rain I stayed back and discussed with my sales team on their collection. They are aware of the huge amount piling up. Although they have green light from big boss, but I have to alert them that when we have not enough money to pay, big boss will still fire them..... and me too. Although so far I have managed to kawtim bsp every single week, of course with their help, but I need them to be more effective and not to slack in their collection process. If everything goes smooth, semua orang kurang stress, better environment to work in this office. They will enjoy the benefit too (okay, okay, aku tipu, more on my benefit. Hehehehe)

Got IATA love letter about BG. As expected, BG to increase. RM275k nak cari by 15th December 2007. Now My BG is RM1.3 million. I only wish this BG ruling tak exist so we can enjoy that money and pusing balik our modal. Hmmm.....

Kerja keras lagi la this week. Nasib baik weekend ni off, tak payah kerja. Yeay.

Oh, lupa cakap. My new niece, Sofea (or I shall call her Piah??? hmm.... will do that when she is bigger and start to be naughty and mengada) is now in Taiping. Her kepala dah cukur botak. Ayong hantar kaklin balik Taiping and go through the pantang process at her mother's house. To my dear kaklin, patience my dear, patience. Lagi 25 days to go, hardly 3 weeks okay. Then I will see you at adik's wedding okay? Nanti when you are back in KL, I'll take the elder kids for shopping and movie ok? Last sunday I went to watch BEE the movie kat cinemaleisure. A very funny one. Suits for kids and adults too. Although the issue sungguh tak masuk akal, hey, it is a animation movie, what you expect? I need to go shopping with darling Nurin soon. Dia nak kasut princess. She said " nak kasut princess yang betul-betul punya, tak nak yang tipu-tipu punya tau!" hmm..... mana aku nak cari????

Okay, stop bebel now. Nanti petang sambung. Ada benda nak ku kondem dalam blog ni! Tapi kejap lagi la, now nak buat kerja.

doink today!

2007-11-12T11:08:00.000+08:00

I had a fantastic JLH weekend! Am not going to blog about it, later lah. But feeling a bit doink today.

I have about 3 hours and 45 minutes to make sure I settle BSP. Sangkut la this week, tapi I have my back-up plan, just need to make sure back-up plan ni works. If it works, then lepas ni kena pegi 2 bank la jawabnya. And I'm tempang walking today, due to aktiviti kurang sehat last Friday night (buat jahat lagi, kan dapat balasan straight!). Ingat dah okay sebab semalam okay aja pergi sana sini, pukul 11pm baru nak ingat rumah. Pagi ni tengok blue black balik kat my peha. Tak la sakit sangat, tapi tak leh jalan straight, rasa perit sangat, so jalan la tempang. Dah la badan ni berat. Hmm... Ms Tempang for the week then.

Okay, later, nak pegi settle big money punya hal with big boss!

ps : My cousin Amy who is now in far-far away land, apa cerita? Okay tak? Email and update please! You missed yummy food at kaklong house on Sunday!

2007-11-09T18:02:00.000+08:00

Have a good weekend everyone! I know I will. :)

Jangan over makan!

Nanti next week la update ya, hari ni sibuk, tak cukup kaki & tangan kat office ni.

Take care everyone.

Besok Cuti, yeay!

2007-11-07T18:58:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow is a public holiday here in KL. Yeay!

One day only, cukup la. Nak sleep-in and bermalas-malasan di atas katil for a while. Nothing much planned for tomorrow. I have 1 open house which is compulsory to go, at Putrajaya, deliver cookies (sarah, iza, adam & shaz : you have to wait for 2nd batch next week ok? I'll deliver as soon as I get it from mom. Wahir : you, lagi kena wait, jauh la! hehehehe)

Oh, baru teringat, need to clean the house. Ada orang complaint rumah very dusty. Takpe, can do that sap-sap-sui tomorrow morning. What else to do? Oh, start packing things to move to new house, finish-up list of things to remind mama for adik's wedding, meet mama's friend to see contoh for bunga pahar, upload russia pix yang beratus tu dalam flicker (my picasa web tak leh bukak dah nak edit, not sure why, need to ask teacher to fix it!), ambik kunci rumah at nenek's house (am using spare key at the moment), singgah klinik nak kena check bp, visit Sofea if possible, aisey, teringat, need to visit my friend kat sjmc (kawan sakit breast cancer, baru lepas operate semalam), drop-by kampung baru to visit Makcik Minah and deliver her raya goodies (terperap atas my oven tu!!!).

Hmm.... so much about bermalas-malasan besok? Hehehehe. Tengok mood nanti macam mana. But bermalas-malasan will still be my priority!

Ramai comment ape hal terlebih posting gambar? Hahaha, aku excited terlebih la finally can get hold of this thing. Selalu kan bengap! Tu yang lepas dah faham, segala gambar aku upload. Macam kasi lepas gian ja, hahahaha. Tu pun ada bersepah lagi gambar trips yang dulu-dulu, tapi nanti la. Banyak sangat, tak larat. All pix are taken by my Nikkon Coolpix digital camera. Except for kakteh's engagement, that is taken by my favourite photographer, Encik Zainul Firdaus. I love his candid pictures. Dah book him for my brother's wedding nanti.

Kejap lagi nak pergi the loaf kat pavillion. Mahu makan itu rocks. Ever since I tasted it last Thursday, huhu, gian sungguh. Everyday my sayang Eddy Toh will singgah and buy it for me while he is out doing tickets delivery around that area. Dah seriously addictive! Cannot tahan! Macam compulsory ganja intake for the day. (Hmm, is that causing my high bp now? It was 140/90 last Monday.... nah... work pressure, really stressed-out that day!)

I dah baik demam, but I am still coughing. This is bad, really bad. I hope it will go away soon, am tired of coughing. Nasib baik malam boleh tido lena. Oh, my parents was around last week. Ma&ba loved the bantal! So I have to buy new ones for them. I gave excuse I need good sleep at nights, no way they can take away the bantal now. Hmm... need to go to IKEA soon. And KLCC to for the bolster. Itu pun nak kena kebas jugak. Aiyak!

kakteh's engagement pictures

2007-11-05T19:47:00.000+08:00

Me and kakteh. We fight macam anjing and kucing. But somewhere deep down in our hearts, we love each other so much.

This is kakteh, my sister, my only sister. Kecik-kecik dulu I selalu kidnap botol susu dia and kasi habis. Sebab dia tak suka sangat minum susu, minum siket aja. The rest masuk perut I. That is why I besar! hehehehe.

Babah, kakteh, mama and the hantaran from us.

My siblings. Emma, kakteh, adik, kaklin, ayong, and me.

Cousins and aunty Dah. From left : kak intan, amy, kakteh, amily, myself, kaklong shila, and aunty Dah in blue.

Tak tau la apa 3 beradik ni kelakar sangat gelak-gelak ni. Dah tak ingat. Ni time kaklin still pregnant. Now baby dah keluar. Sebelah tu, Emma, bakal adik ipar yang kuat menyakat saya!

My father's siblings : Babah (eldest), Makngah (second), Anjang (fourth), Busu(youngest), Maklang -in pink (third), kakteh (my sister), and Ateh (fifth)

The meminang process. Seen here in pix from left : busu, babah, uncle yusuf, paklong, tokcu (jurucakap for our family), epi and the groom's family. Epi ni bagus betul, selalu jadi vvip time meminang orang, hehehe. Hari tu time adik's engagement kat Simpang Pulai, dia sampai lewat, time baru lepas meminang and nak makan, mentang-mentang pakai segak baju melayu, terus mama hantar dia duduk vvip table. Kita semua kena duduk khemah biasa ja, kan kaklong? Tak aci sungguh! Hehehe

Babah showing to uncle yusuf and paklong the cincin.

The pelamin! Bertunang pun dah ada pelamin ini macam, kawin punya macam mana la tu?

Time ni gelak besar sebab ayong and adik dok buat lawak bodoh (diorang jeles sebab takleh masuk dalam gambar ni atas arahan photographer)

Babah (the eldest) with Busu (the youngest). Ni kalau letak my elder brother, ayong, with them, sure dapat kembar 3 tapi 3 generasi berbeza. Babah & busu share the same birthdate! Perangai pun sama. Tapi busu cool siket, dia masih muda, babah tu serious memanjang! Tapi anak2 semua manja dengan dia, cucu? itu kes terlebih manja!

Kakteh posing kat luar rumah nenek. My opah tengok gambar ni cakap macam heroin hindustan!

Kakteh with Hariz Danial and Nurin Arisya.

I tengah doa. Tapi dalam otak tu ligat fikir macam-macam.

Mama & me!

Azrin & kakteh.

Sarah, Sophia, Kakteh, Nadine, Yana, Dahlia. These girls kalau suruh posing, hmm.....

Kakteh! Senyum meleret habis dia hari tu.

Carrot cake yang mama made sure kitorang order and ambik. This cake is very delicious. Tapi kedai nak pegi tu seksa nya nak parking. Nowadays, kitorang order and bila nak ambik, telefon aja, nanti dia deliver to your car.

One of the hantaran, icing cake. Ni nani yang bagi. Semua orang bertunang, mesti dia bagi.

Nani, myself, Farah, and kaklong shila. Nani is our toksu's daughter. She took care of me, ayong, and kakteh when we were at Taiping. Dah besar-besar ni pun kitorang masih manja dengan dia.

My mother's younger sister, Aunty Yot tengah khusyuk berdoa.

My younger brother, Azril (or adik to us), Epi (kaklong shila's husband), Bang Pol (my cousin). Adik muka benggali version gelap, bangpol version cerah!. Hehehe.

This is my soon to be sister in-law, Emma. My younger brother's fiance.

Kak Intan, Yana, Aunty Comel, Kakteh, Majlong, Aunty Yot and Nadira having a close look at the hantaran. Nadira is in Moscow, Russia now. This time balik teruk dia kena kerah by her mom (aunty Yot) to help around with my cousin (bangteh) and my sister's engagement. Thanks a lot adik. These are my cousin, Shah who is now working in Japan, and Amily who just returned home (for good) from UK.

The rest of the pix, kindly click here. Ada 500 pictures to browse.

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say..

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like an angel, heavens not the thing for you,
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologizes, it's too late

I'm holding your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...

note : You had me. We walked the lane together, through out the lowest and highest point, but you blew it, not me (every single time). People put the blame on me, that is so not fair. But people also say I'm the forgiving type, pemaaf, but my heart dah jadi batu, you made me become a hati batu. Now I dah jadi hati batu, you said you are sorry and regret for all that has been said and done and now only you want to mend things, heal my heartache.................

how could you?

happy, happy, happy day!

2007-10-30T09:37:00.001+08:00

Hari ni bangun pagi with a smile. I had a good sleep. (but demam aja baru kebah, batuk nya kalah pesakit TB!!!!)

Tapi masuk office, lagi-lagi la sengih. The news of me being offered another job dah spread the whole office. Of course first person to know is my MD la. But I told her I'm not taking it. After doing my calculation, I am better off here. Although the other offer can guarantee me not having to work hard to gain that stable income, but during my good months here, which can be 6-8 months in a year, I make much-much better than the stable income. Yang rugi EPF la, sebab my current company pays epf on basic salary saja. Tapi I have a ceti mother (ma, jangan marah aaaa.....) who makes sure I send money for saving to her every single month (sometimes if babah accidently tell her I have extra money this month, she will ask again!!!) without fail.

I had a meeting with my chairman yesterday who was very concern of the news. Although we had agreed earlier that my increment will only due feb/mar next year, but he has come up with a generous offer that I cannot resist this morning. Hehehe. Just to make sure I stay although I convinced him yesterday that I will not move.

So, aku terperuk la kat sini, and korang semua akan keep on going dengar aku komplen duit tak cukup, collection tak masuk, bsp sangkut, kutuk IATA, marah salespeople aku, and so on. Hehehehehe. Now my aim for next year is to double up my amount of saving in 2 years time, if nak kawen, still ada enough for hari tua. Hehehehe.

Okay, nak kerja dah. Take care everyone!

my new toy has arrived!

2007-10-29T09:02:00.001+08:00

Yeay, finally, my new toy has arrived! Airin Sofea binti Azwan Hadzree, weighed at 3kg, was born on 27th October 2007 at 1153pm. I spent 2 hours with her yesterday.

pix : kids.azwanhadzree.comhttp://kids.azwanhadzree.com/
(I tengah malas nak play with gadget this early morning, still sleeping actually!)

Nurin cried when I told her : "Makngah nak sayang sofea sekarang. Nurin nak sayang aunty emma seribu juta pun makngah tak kisah sebab makngah ada sofea!"
Huhu, merajuk, kalah time I merajuk. Hehehehe. Both ibu and baby are fine. Hari ni dah boleh keluar hospital. Will visit them again lepas I betul-betul baik demam.

I demam! On Saturday, memang duduk rumah, atas katil aja. Hari ni rasa lega sket, tapi batuk ada kahak pulak. Aiseyman. Cepat la baik demam.

reading of the week - Osteoporosis

2007-10-26T18:25:00.000+08:00

Someone passed a comment to me last week that I don't read. Yeah, I agree to it 100%. Why? No time? Too busy with work? Too busy with personal things? Too busy doing nothing? Or simply malas? Hmmm.... MALAS is the most correct answer. Hehehe.

I do read during my free time, but most of them are creative writings, novels, chic-novels etc. After the hectic work life I go through daily, these type of books put my mind at ease. But that does not mean I'm a dumb girl. I have my info and general knowledge from newspaper, forwarded emails, when I lepak with my friends and they start to discuss about global warming, economics etc (usually I'm the one sitting quiet and absorb information, but I do participate by asking questions for things I don't understand, or give my sincere/dumb/professional opinion). Or worst case scenario, tanya ja la kalau tak tau atau tak faham kepada orang-orang yang berpengetahuan.

This morning I noted about Osteoporosis in SUN paper. So I spend some time reading/look out for info in the internet about Osteoporosis. My opah is having that problem now. Last week, during the raya break, I had spend some time with her at Gombak, taking care of her. She is so fragile. I was really afraid that I will crush her. Since her bones are very fragile now, she can't stand/sit/walk without assistance. She can't stand straight, dah seriously bongkok tiga.

Below are type of people that can easily expose to Osteoporosis :
1) Alcoholics
2) Smokers
3) Overweight (alamak, I am in this category!)
4) Low physical fitness (being kurus, kalau tak fit, no point juga!)
5) Excess physical fitness : this is not good. Excersive exercise can lead to constant damages to the bones apparently that can cause exhaustion of the bone structures. For women, if you exercise heavily, it can lead to amenorrhea (suppression of your menstrual cycle) which can decrease your estrogen levels. (huh, tak leh exercise lebih-lebih? camne nak kurus? takpe, moderate, mesti moderate. Tak kurang, tak lebih)
6) Softdrinks lovers

We can't change for what we have done, ate, did to ourself in the past. But we can start change now for a better life. A lot of malay women don't like to drink milk (a good source for calcium to prevent osteoporosis), and I know quite a number of people, including me, tak makan sayur. Busy kerja la, where got time to exercise? Start to love your body and your health. It is never too late to change. As we grow old, all of us are tend to get osteoporosis, but by practising good life-style from now, it will lower our risk.

Need more information on osteoporosis, GOOGLE ah sendiri. Hehehehe.

This is opah and myself morning of first day raya. I had a good time with her that raya week. Next week's reading is on flying and aeroplanes. Need to prepare myself before going for my joyride soon.

Take care everyone, have a good weekend!

kueh raya : reordering?

2007-10-23T18:47:00.000+08:00

Tadi ada orang telefon kita tanya ada kuih raya extra tak? Apa lah, dah raya baru mau tanya.... hehehehe. Mana ada! Mama is not here, kalau kat sini, boleh gak I ask her to bake for this Saturday. Even if my ayong (elder brother) ada kat Perai, boleh gak I kerah mama soh buat and ask my darling ayong to bawak balik the kuih. Tapi ayong ada kat KL this week. Kuih yang I save untuk Mawaddah & Jawahir pun dah kena kidnap, tinggal yang I bawak pegi office today only, tu pun dah habis diorang licinkan. I know the recipe, tapi tanak susahkan diri nak buat. Hehehehehe.

BUT.....

I am asking mama to make another batch of cookies as ramai yang nak lagi for their own consumption. Ini macam banyak teruk la korang, hehehehe. Dah habis raya, nak lagi kuih raya. Takpe, mama mesti suka la, bisness bagus. Hehehe.

SO......

Sape nak order, sila bagitau so I can plan betul-betul nak soh mama buat berapa banyak. I will take last order by next week Friday (02/Nov/2007). (Can sms, email, tepon or order kat tagboard pun okay gak.) Then the following week baru boleh dapat delivery dari SP, depending my darling ayong (kena puji sayang lebih-lebih ni nak mintak tolong bawak balik kuih) balik with his car, or keta boss dia. Tapi paling lewat pun mid november la boleh dapat.

OK??????

To jawahir & mawaddah : aku janji budget bagi lepas raya kan? So nanti you will get it with the second batch okay? I dah hempuk kepala orang yang kidnap kuih korang tu.

To iza & sarah : korang tak payah order lagi, I dah order korang punya kat mama.

To ayong : nanti mintak tolong bawak balik kuih untuk kakngah ya?

2007-10-23T16:13:00.000+08:00

Nurin Arisya binti Azwan Hadzree and myself on second day raya at maklang's house. This is my 2nd favourite raya pix this year!

Raya Updates

2007-10-17T16:27:00.000+08:00

Huh, tahun ni raya sungguh memenat kan! Penat apa? Penat makan!

Today I dah stop makan segala rendang, kuah kacang, lemang and so on. Nasib baik tadi at my friend's house dia buat soto, so tibai itu sup saja. Cukup la 4 hari makan raya food. Besok I nak puasa la. Buat puasa sunat terus.

Malam raya semua sibuk kemas rumah opah. Aunty Da bought new tikar getah for living room bawah. Since my another aunty dah rearrange semua perabut, so we kemas accordingly. Babah jadi mandor, kakteh, adik, aunty yot, and apit yang kerah tenaga. Me? Sibuk-sibuk amik gambar orang tengah buat kerja. Hehehehe. Tapi lepas tu buat la kerja, kemas barang-barang, susun kuih and so on. Sempat lagi pergi rumah my aunties deliver barang-barang and kuih.

Pagi raya, after prayers semua serbu rumah opah. Opah dah ramai-ramai macam tu, ceria la muka dia. Agenda biasa, makan, then bersalam-salaman mintak maaf, the kids beratur collect duit raya. Untung la diorang tu, from parents dapat, atuks & opahs bagi, monyang bagi, aunties & uncles too. Komplen dapat siket jugak, tak tau la. Tahun ni again I dapat bagi duit raya to anak-anak buah, my parents, my siblings, my uncles & aunties, my elder cousins and both my grandma. Takde la banyak, saja seronok-seronok. I hope I can continue doing it in the future years. Kitorang amik gambar, riuh nya rasa sampai kat jalan depan rumah. Banyak betul camera nak amik gambar, and semua orang nak be in the picture. Hehehe. And this year cipta sejarah sebab aunty yot ada dengan kami pagi hari raya. Usually dia balik PD rumah ibu mertua malam raya, tapi sebab opah tak sihat, dia tunggu and raya with us the whole day. 2nd day raya baru dia balik PD. Lepas kitorang dah habis ceremony immediate family, my dad and siblings pergi rumah nenek pulak (my dad's mother's house) Me and mama stayed back to clean up and tak sampai 5 minit rumah tu senyap, tetamu dah start datang. The first to arrive is uncle Din (a good friend of my uncle). I always thought uncle Din ni my mother's cousin, sebab every year raya dia mesti tak miss punya datang rumah opah. Rupanya kawan baik my uncle, time bujang dulu memang selalu lepak rumah opah. Then atok Cu datang dengan his anak-cucu, aunty jah with her family, and so on. By the time I sampai rumah nenek dah noon. And after that pun dok ulang-alik between both houses bila ada sesape datang. Ye lah, dah lama tak jumpa, so time raya ni letih & penat tu belakang kira la.

At rumah nenek ada nasi ayam macam biasa. And bermacam jenis kuih. Cousins pun ramai. Sembang la banyak, catch up each other's updates. We had a new anak sedara. I called her Nurul dot..dot..dot.. Hehehehe. 1st day raya tu, umur dia baru 6 hari, baru sangat keluar hospital. I think by this time dah ada nama la tu. She is so tiny. Tak berani nak pegang, takut. Nanti la, dia dah besar sket baru la boleh dukung.

2nd day raya baru I jalan sakan. My dad and busu as usual, planning nak pergi sana-sini. We went to rumah my dad's sisters, his cousins, his aunties. After maghrib pergi Puchong rumah opah teh (mama's aunty). By the time balik rumah..... penat, terus tertido kat depan. Lepas mandi ingat nak tengok tv, tapi I lena terus kat couch.

3rd day raya still berjalan sana sini, mostly rumah my parents' cousins la. And by 6pm we were at Sg Buloh celebrate Nurin's 5th Birthday.

Semalam keluar beraya lewat sikit. Bawak mama pergi kedai cari barang-barang for adik's wedding coming soon. We saw some things that we like, bought some things too. Then we went to Shah Alam, rumah busu, and my father's old friend. Rumah uncle Zul ni every year wajib pergi. Kitorang pun dah macam his cucu. Apparently time my dad kawin, dia yang buat kenduri di Taiping for my parents. I suka pergi his house, check-out his books, rumah dia banyak interesting books (serious stuff type of books, the type yang I tak beli, but like to read at his house, hehehehe). After that kitorang beraya rumah Amy.

Kat situ dapat tau this 2 cousins of mine (Anny & Amily, eh , jap, diorang bukan actual cousins, they are cousins to my real cousins. Tapi kitorang close sebab time study dulu they like to lepak at my sister's place, and now I suka melepak at their place. Bak kata my taylor : ini sedara takde darah punya!) Anyway, back to these 2 girls (with another 2 cousins of theirs), on 2nd day raya, their car kena hijack dekat jalan gasing! Ada orang purposely langgar their car and then stop them, pull over and keluar bawak parang & besi. Ngeri ja dengar their story. Nasib baik takde apa-apa. Their cousin yang drover the car kena tarik out of the car. Tapi ada kereta pass by, so orang tu cabut lari. So to all of you, please be carefull, tak kisah la lelaki ka, perempuan ka, mesti alert sentiasa, kat rumah or luar rumah. My mom dengar story tu, mula la dia leter pasal I'm living alone by myself. Hmmm....

Hari ni, pegi satu rumah aja. Nak kasi perut rest. Besok nak pergi rumah another friend, then lepak at opah's house jaga opah. Jumaat Anny is getting engaged, so will be busy at her house. Sabtu pun kena jaga opah kejap, sebab kasi chance my aunty nak pergi beraya pulak. Sunday baru I resume my raya.

Pics nanti jap lagi I post!

Hari ni birthday Nurin

2007-10-15T19:32:00.000+08:00

Hari ni Nurin is 5 years old! She is so excited this morning, semua orang pepagi dah tepon and wish dia. Me, babah, mama & kakteh pergi beraya rumah sedara mara, by 3pm Nurin tepon babah and asked : atok, pukul berapa nak datang bawak cake ni?

We arrived about 6pm at rumah ayong. Adik bawak cake, pak busu and family pun datang jugak. Atok abas & Wan jah pun ada, excited lagi-lagi la Nurin tu. Attention semua kat dia. She wore her lovely pink dress and her lip gloss. Happy dia bila kitorang nyanyi happy birthday. Nurin blow candle sekali hembus saja. We had fried mee, satay, ketupat palas and kuih. Maghrib kat sini. While I'm writing ni, the boys are upstairs playing ps2, kitorang yang adults kat bawah berborak pasal computer. I kidnap my brother's laptop and updating blog. Nurin ada kat bawah ni, all attention to her by her aunties and uncles, and atoks, seronok la dia.

Soon, lagi 4weeks, insyaAllah Nurin will get adik baru, baby girl, so nanti lepas ni attention akan ubah kat adik dia. Tapi to me, she will always be my darling Nurin.

Happy birthday Nurin! Thanks for being part of your makngah's life. You always make me smile and happy although Nurin selalu cakap makngah gemuk, and sayang aunty emma lebih.

Love, Makngah!

Countdown to raya!

2007-10-12T15:11:00.000+08:00

Yes, kita still kat office. Sabar ja la. Takpe, sat lagi 5pm gerak la balik Gombak. Jalan depan office ni dah start jam, penuh bas ekspress making their move to leave KL, penuh dengan manusia-manusia yang ingin pulang ke kampung halaman tercinta untuk menyambut lebaran.

My aunty Da, opah and mama non-stop calling dari pagi. Kejap-kejap aunty Da telefon sebab opah nak pesan beli barang. Barang yang dikirim ada la 3 ja, tapi kuantiti nya kejap-kejap naik. Nasib baik boleh singgah kedai kat danau kota tu ja. Semua ada situ, one stop centre kalau nak apa-apa. My mom dah sampai tadi, now she is in opah's house. Katanya letih drive, I selamba ja jawab : Habis tu, dah tau letih, tak reti-reti nak balik pindah KL? Saja ja mulut laser sebab I tau my dad tengah dengar sekali since mama put on speaker mode. Hehehe. Siap la babah tu, I nak pujuk dia balik KL tinggal sini. Dia takde kerja kat sini dia ada pencen, lebih dari cukup la dia nak hidup dgn mama. Dah janji with aunty Da malam ni lepas buka will make one round sapu and lap semua benda again. Nanti pepagi besok sure opah nak naik atas tengok ruang depan tu okay ka tak for raya. Tadi opah mengeluh sebab tak boleh buat apa-apa. Dia memang tak larat. Nak berdiri pun kit kena pegang. I know dia tak selesa duduk saja, dia tu rajin sangat buat macam-macam. Dah terlantar macam tu, dia bosan la.

My elder brother, ayong, posted his kenangan zaman hari raya time kanak-kanak. I didn't remember that my brother gave me the previlage to sit atas kusyen empok while he was stuck dekat speaker radio in the car for our long journey from Taiping to Gombak for Hari Raya or any of our balik kampung trip. Ada jugak yang dia kasi I menang, walaupun I tau dia memang suka duduk kat belakang tempat speaker radio tu sebab nak dengar radio. Mungkin I was too young to remember. Yang I ingat dia suka sakat and buli kitorang. Semuanya dia yang menang and selalu dapat lebih. Not that I'm complaining, but I wish I was more like Nurin (his daughter) who do most of the bossing around within our siblings, hehehehe. Anyway, semakin kitorang membesar, dia la yang banyak tolong kitorang semua. Ingat lagi, first job dia bagi his adik-adik duit raya. Seronok gila, we were talking about it for one whole week among us the adik-adik.

Okay, now mau print itu report, fax dekat boss, sign apa yang patut, then balik.

Selamat hari raya everyone! Jangan over makan!

Besok Raya

2007-10-12T08:57:00.000+08:00

Besok Raya!

Yeay!

Babah just sent me sms saying they have left SP at 830am this morning. Tak tau la pukul berapa diorang tu nak sampai. I am sure the traffic will be heavy. Dah pesan kat diorang to be carefull. I know I will get an update every hour about traffic, where they are stopping, if they see any accident, or if they pass by my colleague in Trolak, or they pass by their soon-to-be daughter and son in-law, when they pass by exit to rumah kak lin. Dah sampai Rawang, every single toll, every single traffic lite, every single simpang, mama will definately sms all of us. Showing her excitement balik kampung. Eh, balik kampung ka? Balik KL bukan balik bandar ka? Apa-apa la! Hehehehe.

Apa nak buat, kampung KL. Arwah atuk (both atuk) bought the piece of land and house there, kebetulan back to back since the 60s. Mom and dad met there, romanticlly behind the house, separated by Sungai Gombak. Hehehehe. My mom was a friend of my dad's sister (mak lang), so every day mama lalu depan rumah nenek (my dad's mom's house), babah mesti usha. Bagus jugak babah cari bini, tak yah pening kepala nak balik raya, jalan kaki 5 minit dah sampai rumah each other. Dulu raya kat KL ni best, jalan lengang, tapi sekarang dah ramai orang, and foreigner pun ramai, still meriah, sebab kat masjid ramai orang, tapi pegi shopping mall penuh bangsa asing. Sabar je lah. Bukan tak boleh, tapi rasa macam kat negara diorang pulak, padahal kat Malaysia. Sebab ramai sangat.

Ok, malam ni I will be at Gombak, help out apa patut. Then besok awal pagi kena pegi, pergi kubur arwah atuk kejap, both at the same place, tanah perkuburan Taman IbuKota which is also 5 minit walk from opah's house (Yes, my kampung is in a Taman Perumahan in KL). And also will visit kubur sedara mara yang lain and my friends and family friends too. Tengok mana yang sempat. I am not going for raya prayers besok as I will help aunty Dah and mama at home. Lepas pray, semua will serbu rumah opah. Cousins sekelian, and uncles and aunties too : korang pakai la baju kaler apa pun, yang penting kita semua happy and ceriakan rumah opah. And take a whole family pics kat tangga rumah opah like we did 3 years back.

Okay la, I have some reports to finish. Petang karang baru sibuk pasal raya. Tak worry sangat as rumah opah aunty Yyot & aunty Da sudah siapkan. They will cook the dishes today, I think sure dah start. Mama is bringing all the kuih & cakes baked at SP.

It will be a nice raya no matter what has happened, that is one thing for sure I know.

Take care everyone!

MY RAYA WISHES

2007-10-11T11:00:00.000+08:00

Besok last day puasa, then raya, Yeay!!!

Semalam letih gila pegi carik barang. Kuar rumah 630am, pegi epot, pegi keramat, pegi jalan tar, pegi midvalley, pegi melawati, pegi gombak. By the time sampai rumah dah 10pm. Letih sangat, mandi and pray, ingat nak tengok tv, tapi terlelap terus depan tv sampai la pagi ni. Tapi lega dapat cari semua barang.

Semalam sempat jugak jengok opah. Dia memang weak sangat sekarang. Baring aja dalam bilik, nak pergi toilet memang kena orang bawak, kena mandikan, kena bersihkan dia lepas buang air. Opah dah pakai pampers, dia tak leh nak makan macam dulu. Dia boleh cakap, boleh sembahyang, tapi dia tak larat. Kalau orang datang visit dia, ceria la muka, sihat terus, hehehehe. Tapi dia dah tak boleh mengemas, buat kerja macam dulu. I know dia rindu nak buat tu semua. I noticed banyak benda dah tukar kat rumah opah to accomodate dia and my aunties yang jaga dia. Katil bilik bawah and atas dah tukar, meja and kerusi pun dah tukar style lain. Kitorang tengah nak cari maid to help my aunties, so at least kalau diorang nak keluar, ada jugak orang tunggu kan. And the maid can do house work, tak la my aunty tu letih sangat. Nanti by next week, after the raya, the aunties will settle among themselves. Now they need to prepare for raya. Opah being the eldest, nanti sure yang ramai akan datang rumah nak visit dia.

My raya preparations? Takde! Hehehehe. This year again tutup rumah. Just untuk mama, and opah house. Tapi tu pun I dah broke dah. Hehehehe. Tahun ni I bagi duit raya siket aja. Sebab nanti lepas raya nak pindah, so berjimat apa patut. Pindah rumah sure banyak nak pakai duit nanti. Knowing me, semuanya nak beli baru. Tengok la macam mana. Itu cerita lepas raya. Tapi Nurin & Hariz jangan la risau, nanti cukup bulan dapat gaji, dapat la duit raya extra. Hehehe. Anak2 sedara lain, jgn komplen ok?

Next week off to Singapore for 2 days, yeay! Jangan jalan jam sudah, itu kita tak sanggup. Kalau ada tiket bas, naik bas ja la kut. Tak plan lagi, ikut mood next week. Mama akan sampai besok, with all the barang2 for raya. Everytime my mom datang KL, raya ka hari biasa ka, dia mesti bawak macam2. So kalau dia cakap dia nak naik bus datang KL, I risau kalau dia bawak barang macam-macam. And I mewarisi perangai dia tu. Kalau pergi jalan, macam-macam bawak. I takde definisi travel light! Nanti kalau takde barang I nak, mana nak carik? I cannot decide what to bring and what not to bring. That is why I suka pack last minit, masuk apa yang ada saja. Pack awal-awal nanti semua nak masuk. I will bring baju yang konon nya I think I will need it, but at the end, will wear the same t-shirt! Hehehehe. My family & friends selalu perli : Pegi 2-3 hari bawak barang macam sebulan! Tapi kalau I bawak siket barang pun, balik mesti penuh bag tu, and silap-silap ada bag extra bawak balik. Lagi-lagi kalau bawak tempat shopping, mesti berabis punya, hehehehe. Tapi yang selalu perli tu la, nanti at the end bila benda takde, mesti dalam bag I tu la yang diorang carik, sebab they know I will bring all the things. And my bag besar or bag-bag kecik I yang banyak tu yang selalu jadi mangsa orang nak pinjam. Raya ni ada la 7 bag aku jadi mangsa. Nak bawak kuih raya pun I kasi pinjam bag, nanti letak dalam kotak hancur pulak! Btw, adik dear : if you read this, bila nak pulangkan my bag? So long overdue. I thot pinjam pegi Jepun aja? Now bag tu nampak gaya asyik pegi Singapore ja ulang alik? Oh, yes, talking about bags, Minah : the blue recycle bag you gave me is so very convenient! Telah mengangkat banyak barang for me. Now the bag is in Kota Kinabalu, lepas raya bag tu balik. So to those yang pinjam bag balik kampung, lepas raya make sure hantar balik ye. Kalau tak I charge interest, hehehe.

I kerja lagi besok, then off one whole week until 23rd October. But I will blog kalau ada access.

Now my raya wish :

To everyone : SELAMAT HARI RAYA, MAAF ZAHIR BATIN!!!!

To my family members : Thanks for all the support and being understanding. Yang due duit raya, kalau tak cukup, tunggu cukup bulan, nanti kita tambah. I'm excited for the additional family members to come. Please alert them that Makngah Aida can be crazy from time to time.

To friends yang dah banyak2 hantar kad raya, sms, blog wishes, email wishes : Selamat Hari Raya too. Nanti my own domain dah on, I will inform everyone. Jalan leklok, raya leklok, jangan lupa balik sini balik, do your open house for me to come and makan.

To my 3 very close friends who I had hurt them a lot this year again and again and again : Minta maaf setulus hati. I always take you guys seriously. Yes, I have change, but deep down inside you know the Aida you once knew her very well is still there. As always, I'll come back. If I have not shown how serious I take your thoughts, cherish your friendship, and show my appreciation, I am very sorry. Selamat Hari Raya, enjoy the kueh ok?

To the person yang I rindu seribu juta : Jaga diri elok-elok. Ramadhan and Raya always bring us back together and stronger. (ps : Nurin dear, makngah pinjam Nurin nyer trademark kejap ye. Cakap kat ayah jangan nak charge royalty pulak)

Take care everyone!

System down!

2007-10-09T15:10:00.000+08:00

Banyak benda la nak buat hari ni, hari ni la system down. Hampeh la. Dah la tu, dapat tau malam ni banyak nyer benda nak kena buat. Aiyak. Actually satu ja addition, tapi kena patah balik journey tu yang eden lomah tu. Takpe la, setahun sekali punya pasal.

Besok I have one day to do everything. So kalau tak sempat, nampak gaya ada tak beraya ni. Hehehe. Mama ni memacam pulak dia nak. I don't want to do it on Friday, nanti sure jam. Besok nak naik LRT saja! Hantar kereta service, then petang baru collect. Keta needs to be service, dah more 10k km dah, tak leh jadi. Nanti nak drive down to Singapore lagi. But then I have to go to airport early in the morning, might as well I drive straight to the shops. Tengok la nanti macam mana. Planning macam-macam, tapi kena jugak tengok mood besok macam mana, kalau takde mood, jawabnya kena ready nak kena leter dengan mama sebab tak pegi beli barang-barang dia. I have bought half of her list, but there are more to get. Nasib baik dia tinggal jauh, kalau dia tinggal sini, hmmm.... tiap-tiap weekend la my sister kena jadi driver dia.

Okay la, nak sambung kerja balik. Mesti siapkan jugak sebab today plan nak leave office at 5pm sharp!

2007-10-09T08:15:00.000+08:00

Last nite tak leh tido. Orang buat kerja malam-malam, letak tar kat jalan luar my house. I think until 2am they were still working, bising bunyi tractor, lori kuar masuk. Sabar ja la. Dah la malam tadi kena hujan. So pagi ini ada cranky sket. Masuk office awal ni bagus, sementara tepon belum bunyi, I can concerntrate buat kerja. Orang pun tak kacau. Tapi sure kejap lagi ramai yang question apesal aku sampai awal hari ni. Lately masuk office memang after 930am. Tak leh mandi pagi, sejuk, tak tahan (alasan ja.... actually malas nak sangkut dalam jam!)

Lately ramai orang cakap I have change. Yes, admit that, banyak benda change, turning me into a worst person. Antara yang I notice, I lagi clumsy lately. Forgetfull too. Last Sunday boleh tinggal purse kat rumah ayong, misplaced my stoplock key, forget where I kept my RM50 note. Mind tak focus, tu la pasal. This morning spent 40 minutes to find my things, lupa I simpan mana. Hmmm..

I will change back to that good person I used to be, but will take time. I pun missed the old Aida.

Ok, nak start kerja. Nak siapkan sebanyak mungkin, besok I cuti one day. Yeay!

2007-10-08T12:52:00.000+08:00

Lupa nak cakap, I'll be moving this blog to my own domain soon. Nanti nak habis berguru dengan guru besar dulu, baru bukak itu domain tu public. Biasalah, kita buta IT kan? Nak buat fotopages pun lembab nak mampus. Baru ja pandai last weekend. Tapi baru 2 gambar aja. Hehehehe.

Nanti dah siap register and set up, I will update everyone.

2007-10-08T11:45:00.000+08:00

Lagi 4 hari nak raya! Yeay!

This year raya tak look forward sangat. Tapi I know it will be a good time to meet with other family members and friends. Planning nak buat banyak benda the whole one week cuti tu, tapi tengok la mana yang sempat, and tengok budget jugak.

Hari Sabtu sempat buka puasa with my siblings, and as expected, kitorang ended tido rumah ayong. Nurin is so good at memujuk. Actually memang dah plan pun, tapi saja ja buat-buat nak balik, and nak tengok dia nak guna taktik apa pulak nak suruh kitorang tido her house. This time Nurin asyik cakap : Nurin sayang makngah 101! Maksudnya dia sayang makngah dia ni banyak-banyak la. And it went up to 109 after buka puasa, just to convince us to overnight with her. Makteh kena pujuk tido sana 3 hari. Uncle adik dia kena layan main bunga api. Hmm.. she always get what she wants. Harap-harap bila ada adik nanti dia tak perasan dia paling best la sebab attention sure pindah to her adik nanti. Food was good, despite ikan terubuk tak dapat beli sebab tukang jual cakap hari ni ikan terubuk takde, frust jugak. Adik yang dari Singapore pun sempat joined us jugak. We had fun looking at old photos of the kids and us. Kaklin keluarkan album lama, aiseyman, my gambar lama much better, kurus siket from now, hehehehe.

Okay, nak sambung buat kerja. Hari ni balik lewat nak finish up things. Rabu saya off, nak settlekan last minute barang2 to get for mom.

PINDAH OFFICE?

2007-10-06T12:55:00.000+08:00

Baru kuar meeting kat opis ni. Boss suggested kitorang move!

Move? Dia crazy ka apa? Banyak belanja la. Baru ja 2-3 bulan ni aku kerja bagus bawak duit masuk make sure semua benda kena bayar boleh bayar, aku make sure hutang-hutang lama semua aku collect, dia nak belanja sakan pindah office? Bukan dia masuk office hari-hari pun! Aiyak!!!!

Tau la tempat ni bising, tempat ni tak lah class sangat macam certain travel agent lain, tapi to me praktikal is much more better. And we are in ground floor! Itu sudah banyak fengsui bagus, banyak walk-in. Walk-in sales ni la yang banyak help cycle my cashflow.

Nak pindah pun bangunan depan office tu ja. Tapi tingkat berapa entah. Ye la, turun parking senang, office baru, space besar sket. Tapi berbaloi ka? Our new projects tak memerlukan space besar. We can have current staff, pay them extra because they can do the job, ambil sorang junior assistant, ada banyak space nak letak meja even if we take 4 more new staff. Can take my table downstairs and I'll be glad to move to 2nd floor. That accounts room is damn big, tapi sorang ja dalam tu.

Ni my sales people la pepandai bukak mulut. Chet!!!! But chairman is seriously considering it. Hmmm... I can't say much, company dia, bukan company aku or company bapak aku.

Hmmm.... :(

Anak Yatim

2007-10-06T10:12:00.000+08:00

Every year during Ramadhan, my alumni, ANSERI, mesti ada aktiviti bersama anak yatim. Alhamdulillah, promosi yang berterusan, rumah anak yatim di Jalan Kebun, Kelang, (Institut Taufik Islamiah). First time I went to that place, tengok tempat tu daif sungguh. Tapi after 3 years, wow, banyak sungguh improvement. The surau dah dibina elok, ada dinding, newly painted, ada tikar getah, and kipas. The asrama dah dibuat batu, takde papan macam dulu. Tempat the kids belajar pun dah dibetulkan, and cat baru. Alhamdullillah. Lepas ni kena carik tempat lain yang daif-daif siket.

This year kitorang tak buat derma untuk tempat ni lagi, but I know they are individuals yang berterusan menderma to the orphanage. Walaupun tak banyak, sedikit pun, itu memang diperlukan. This year, my alumni buat derma untuk beli beras and distribute to fakir miskin di Kuala Perlis. Why Perlis? Sekolah kat Beseri, Perlis, so cari tempat2 kat sana la. So far, collection tak banyak sangat, sebab program dilancarkan quite late. But duit yang dah ada boleh beli 170 kampit beras (50kg), meaning, can help 170 family. Kalau dapat cecah 200 bagus la. One of our aim is lepasan MRSM Beseri ni buat program give back to society. In 2005, we had Tabung Masjid Beseri. Kumpul derma to improve the Masjid depan maktab. And it was a success.

This year masih sempat berbuka dengan anak yatim di Puchong. It was organised by a Mares member. He managed to get his friends from 4-wheel-drive group, about 20 of them to bring the kids for an experience off-road somewhere between border Kelang & Puchong. The off-road journey memang best. I cuak jugak la duduk dalam jalopy(sama maksud = kereta) tu. Some of the drivers saja je pegi test turun naik gaung tunjuk skill. Bebudak tu lah yang paling seronok. Then ada pulak few times jalopy stuck dalam lumpur, atas bukit, apa lagi, semua skill kasi tunjuk la macam mana nak lepas. Bawak 4wd ni tak susah, kena tau cara. And kena ikut guide, sebab kita duduk dalam jalopy tak leh nampak gaung or batu kat luar tu macam mana. I had fun. Tapi bab paling best, on the way back, ralit sangat kat off-road (we started after asar around 5pm), baru nak sedar hampir waktu berbuka. So, yang mana dah habis di arahkan balik dulu for berbuka. Half-way konvoi berpecah. 3 cars drive terus ja sampai hi-way kesas, tak tau ada simpang ke kanan back to the orphanage house. Nasib baik ada radio boleh communicate. We decided to proceed ikut hi-way, tapi stop kejap dekat petrol kiosk singgah 7-eleven. We told the kids, about 6 of them, you can take whatever you want, we'll pay for it. Bebudak tu terus, betul ka ni pakcik? nak air boleh, nak jajan boleh? kitorang nak megi! I was, WHAT? MEGI KORANG NAK? kat asrama tu ada kambing golek, megi yang korang nak of all things? Hmmm.... bantai la, ikut tekak korang. So all of them took megi cup, terus letak airpanas and ate licin dalam kereta on the way back!. They also asked for ribena, each take bread, chocalates, snacks like twisties, cheezel etc, took soft drinks and lots of sweets! While paying they noticed the TV at the cashier, and saw the advertisement people drinking slurpee. And they started asking sedap ka air kaler-kaler tu? We, the 3 adults yang tengak sibuk check dalam poket ni ada duit ka tak (baru nak sedar time nak bayar) gelak besar dengar soalan tu, sebab we knew the kids would love to have the air kaler-kaler. So we said okay. Kopak bayar, tapi worth it. The happiness shown in the kids face is something I feel great about.

I always forgot to bersyukur for the great life I had. Sometimes at this age, I do complaint, but tak sedar ramai lagi yang unfortunate. I hope I takkan lupa memberi others from time to time selagi I mampu.

buka puasa

2007-10-05T15:08:00.000+08:00

This year buka puasa sunyi gila. I think buka puasa kat luar tak lebih 5 hari. To those who knows me well, my Ramadhan usually means banyak buka kat luar.

So far tempat paling sedap buka puasa................ hmm.. home. Why? At your own comfort.

Buka kat luar ni leceh la. Too many food, and expensive too. Too many people to meet up & chat, nak pray kena que. And by the time you arrive home, you feel so tired.

Besok will buka puasa with my siblings kat Sungai Buloh. Every year we will make an attempt to buka puasa together. Makin lama makin meriah as ahli keluarga bertambah. This year buka puasa again at rumah ayong. Kaklin is pregnant and almost due, so it is best if we just tapau food at baazar Ramadhan near their house and buka di rumah aja. I hope I can manage balik rumah after buka. Knowing Nurin, she will keep on asking "Makngah tido rumah kita ka malam ni?" until she gets the answer yes. Will see how tomorrow.

Oh lupa, ada sekali tu last week during buka with colleagues kat Millenium hotel, kitorang duduk next tv. Then around 7.05pm iklan berbuka with azan was aired. We thought that dah masuk waktu buka. Selamba ja 4 of us minum and start eating. Until our other colleagues datang from the buffet table and ask kenapa kitorang buka cepat ni? Tengok jam baru realised. Hehehehe. Tak leh buat apa. We stop eating, and waited patiently the next 3 minutes and break our fast with the rest.

kueh raya

2007-10-05T10:22:00.001+08:00

Mama as usual buat kuih raya for selling this year.

Tapi this time I tak sure la dia nak beli apa pulak with the money she makes. Past 3 years dia beli sofa, dia beli meja, dia beli almari, this year I tak leh nak fikir apa dia nak beli as I think rumah kat SP tu dah terlebih barang. I mean you only need the basic staff, that is enough for me, tapi knowing my mom, ada ja la lagi benda dia nak beli & letak kat rumah tu. I order banyak jugak from her. Ramai jugak orang beli, and yang regular dapat pun ada jugak.

For first timer yang try biskut tu most of them telefon balik and ask me still boleh order ka tak? I said ok, tapi dapat after cuti raya la sebab I dah malas nak buat round deliver kueh raya lagi. Tak larat la. Tinggal kengkawan kat Bukit ja yang I tak deliver lagi. That I will do before this coming Monday.

Nama kuih tu actually Venice Singer. Don't ask me why. Tapi ramai orang bila nak order akan cakap kuih semprit chocolate chip or kuih kuning chocolate rice. To me tak kisah la apa korang nak sebut, janji dah beli, sila bayar eh. Hehehehe. Recipe my mom dapat dari Chef Wan dah lama dah, since I was very young. I tak ingat which year, tapi seingat I, that kuih dulu masa kecik2, lepas mama buat, memang kena sorok kan. If not tak sempat raya, kuih tu dah habis. Either me or my siblings will manage to find it. Dulu memang ada at least 6 jenis kuih mama akan buat. Our favourite will be venice singer, coco crunch with cornflakes, that coffee rangup cookies shaped like a flower yang I dah tak ingat apa nama, of course biskut cornflakes, and the yellow cookies in cupcakes with chery on top. Tapi past 5 years my mom stop, dia tak larat dah nak buat. I used to bake coco crunch cookkies, tapi now dah malas jugak. Leceh la. Tapi janji kueh venice singer ni ada, cukup la.

I hope next year mom will stop baking kueh raya, tapi kalau dia larat jugak, hmmm.... can't stop her.

Okay, hari ni banyak gila kerja. Take care everyone!

2007-09-19T15:22:00.000+08:00

Hmmm... hari ni dapat berita sungguh tak best.

I tau la ramai yang baca blog ni. My family, my friends, my siblings, my aunties & uncles, my cousins, my dad, my enemies, friends of my friends, enemy of my friends, family of my friends, my boyfriend's boss, people that I tak kenal, or whoever yang ada link my blog and their readers click and read. Korang dapat entertainment drama minggu ini free kan from my blog? kan? kan? kan?

Baca je la, tak yah la jadikan blog ni sebagai penentuan kehidupan saya. Apa jadi to me bukan korang yang nak tanggung hidup saya. Selama ni susah-senang, happy-sedih, gemuk-kurus (eh, tak pernah kurus!!), cantik-hodoh, kaya-miskin, drama-bored, ini life saya. Kalau rasa pity kan diri ini, rasa ja la, tak yah la nak gossip kepoh satu dunia. Kalau rasa nak tumpang bahagia, tak yah la leter macam mana I should lead my life. You can advise me, but it is my life, I yang ambil my own decision and I am responsible of my ownself.

Ye, saya senang dibuli, saya senang mengalah, saya ni cembeng, cepat nangis. Tapi korang tak tau, kelemahan tu la kekuatan saya.

So, jangan under estimate kelemahan/crybaby/kesabaran saya. Nasib baik bulan puasa, kena banyak2 sabar ni. Tak marah, sebak ja siket, sedih sebab ramai jugak yang dengki with me. I am just an ordinary girl who is not preety trying to have her own happy life. And am very happy with it at the moment.

To those who have backed me up all this while, if I lupa nak cakap thank you, well, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts & for having some space in your thoughts and in your heart for me. I appreciate that.

Take care people.

p/s: Sure ni ramai tanya awat la minah ni drama hari ni kan? Hahahahaha. Tanya ja la personally, I will share you my story, but not in this blog!

Macam-macam

2007-09-18T16:44:00.000+08:00

Hello people!

I tau, I tau, hangpa semua rindu kat cek. Sorry la, cek busy. Macam2 jadi past one month, ada yang gumbira, ada yang merana. Tapi tu semua cek nak letak tepi, now nak concerntrate bulan Ramadhan and nak sambut lebaran nanti. Korang pun satu, aku tak update, hp number and email kan ada? Tanya la apa patut. Kalau I bersedih hati kan satu dunia tau. Ni tak posting apa2 pun maksudnya tengah gumbira la dengan kehidupan sekarang. Baru satu hari semalam off korang ingat aku bawak diri pulak. Ntah apa2 ntah. Hahahaha. So to all my friends who takes this blog to keep track on me, just to let you people know that I am fine, healthy. Just busy with work, and tak sempat nak update, tu aja. Besides that, I am fine.

Okay, now I will do my story. Korang baca la kalau larat.

Matta Fair : Dah habis. 3 days kerja sakan 7-9 September. Yeay! Lagi 6 bulan rest then back to nightmare. Thank God sales not bad considering it is September punya travel fair. We met our target, dapat untung, now tengah tunggu boss declare nak bagi bape banyak bonus. Hehehe. Our booth location not good, tapi banyak previous buyer carik kitorang sampai dapat. Bagus dapat loyal customer macam tu. I was at PWTC on Friday & Saturday, on Sunday kat office siapkan Exchange orders nak hantar to EK on Monday. Naik juling jugak mata and sakit tangan menaip punya banyak ticket & destination. Lega tak payah buat invoice. Kesian Helina kena mengadap buat invoice for me as I got strict instruction to be off Matta once office resume on Monday. Hehehe. Takpe, nanti I belanja dia makan after raya. This time ticketing supervisor ada so I let her to check on datelines. I only worry about money going in-out aja.

BSP : These past one month and next two weeks asyik kena bayar paling murah 600k, paling mahal 900k. Penat la carik duit! Lega jugak debtors tengah nak membayar. Paling best semalam dapat tau ada old corporate client since 2004 nak bayar around RM150k yang dah outstanding punya lama tu. Rajin follow up, mulut manis, and they have payment coming-in, so diorang tunggu end of this week to settle off semua. Pass 3 years they paid RM1k- RM5k per month ikut kemampuan. Jadi la, dari akaun tu outstanding stagnant tak berubah. Tu kena belanja my sales people pulak (boss will belanja) as they got the deal for us.

Work : Like hell! Dok jadi receptionist last whole 3 weeks. Punya banyak phone coming-in. I know front-counter tersangat busy, so jadi la tukang angkat telefon. And banyak seat-in jadi cashier sebab dia asyik sakit ja. Now she is back and healthy, I can concerntrate with my work. Ada lagi kat office ni yang mendengki. Ni silap HR la. Pegi disclose allowance, incentive kitorang dapat. Dah ada yang mengamuk kat office ni cakap boss berat sebelah. Tapi dia tak sedar that how hard those people work to earn it. Staying back doesn't mean you will be rewarded. Kerja tak efficient, banyak salah pun tak guna jugak. Me and few others teruk jugak kena back stabbing from our colleagues. Habis satu office dia fitnahkan kitorang. But at last HR keluar memo and boss got to know about it. Now that staff kena warning letter, lagi sekali buat perangai memang kena buang kerja. Of course I la yang jadi jaksa pendamai appeal kat boss although what she did really hurt me. Kalau buang terus, dia nak kerja apa? Anak kat rumah tu nak makan apa, dah la anak dia sakit. Susah carik kerja now. Kitorang hari2 ada orang enquiry cari kerja. My other 2 colleagues punya la mengamuk, but I explain them my rasioanal. But final warning it is. I can forgive but I will not forget, next time buat, siap la.

Cat issues : Hmm... ni paling kelakar kut. Tu la, dulu bunuh kucing, now the cat keep on hunting me. Hehehehe. Ada mak kucing sarat beranak masuk ikut tingkap dapur and beranak dalam the 3rd bedroom. Tingkap tu all this while mmg kopak. Tak pernah fix sebab dah 3 tahun tinggal takde apa2. And I doubt that a cat boleh panjat naik balcony belakang tingkat 2 tu. But it did. That saturday night during matta fair, I balik rumah decided to kemas peti ais. Buang segala ntah apa food. Letak dalam plastic back, ikat elok2 and planning nak buang next morning bila nak kuar rumah. Next morning nampak plastik sampah tu dah terburai. Cuak kejap, ingat tikus. Pastu dengar macam bunyi anak kucing. Tapi I terus keluar sbb dah lambat. Then next rabu morning, after 3 days kucing kat dalam rumah, nampak mak kucing masuk ikut tingkap pegi bilik belakang. First thing I did, lari masuk my room, lock the door and freaked-out! Hehehe. Dah come back to my senses, called my cousins, but takde yang available. Then telefon Ray, dia la tukang rescue. He took the cat, letak dalam kotak, and letak atas washing machine near the tingkap. Then one of my chopping board kena korbankan, nak selit and block tingkap yang nganga tu. The mother came back ambik anak-anak dia. 5 kittens. Malam tu balik dok dengar lagi anak kucing mengiau. Bangun pagi sahur pun dengar lagi. After 2 days, on Friday, around 730am, dah cerah, dengan rasa masih takut lagi nak bukak pintu (takut kena jerkah dengan mak kucing), I noted ada sekor mak dia tinggal kan. Actually I dah plan to ask adik or paroe to come later that nite to get rid of the kitten, but I tak boleh tahan dgr kitten tu dok mengiau. Dah la cacat sket. I tried bagi susu, guna sudu, tapi kitten tu buat blur ja. Tanya kengkawan, diorang suruh pergi hantar kat animal shelter. Left home, pergi Ampang Jaya carik the place. Dekat aja with my house. Told them the situation, they said they can accept but will kill the kitten kalau kecik sangat. Kitten tak leh survive without the mom. So I went back home, took the box, close & locked it (nasib baik kotak besar, kalau kecik, sure anak kucing tu lemas). Tapi tu ja cara I can drive back to the animal shelter place! Bagi kucing tu, they said they might put the cat to sleep (ie : kill the cat). Sebak pulak hati, but i tak leh bela kucing.... takut!. I donated some money, as they tak ambik duit. Now, dah takde bunyi kucing malam2 or pagi2 bila bangun sahur. Bilik pun dah kemas.

Pindah rumah : Will move out after raya. Dalam bulan nov or dec depending Iza nak pindah bila. This is the house of my ex-neighbour. They are in Ireland, so my friend Iza rented it. Now dia pun dah dapat rumah baru, so my ex-neighbour, Rini, telefon dari Ireland tanya nak masuk rumah dia tak. Since she is only coming back lagi 3 tahun, so I said okay la. Hopefully by next year I dah boleh carik my own house too. Well, that is the planning la. See first next year macam mana. Unless mama& babah decided nak balik KL for good cepat sikit, then lagi cepat la saya beli rumah. Nanti banyak sangat rumah ada. SP lagi. Takut loan tak lepas ja. Hehehehe. So this raya tak raya la, rumah dah start pack apa patut. Nanti dah settle down rumah baru then only buat makan2 la.

Puasa : So far okay, terasa gak lapar. Tapi boleh survive lagi. Pagi tadi tak sahur, tido nyenyak sangat. Hari tu ada komplen tak lena tido, now I dah faham my sleep patern. Tak boleh tido punya season tu akan jadi every month, so time tu sure I cranky la. First day puasa I buka with Kaklin, Hariz and Nurin. Jumaat buka with driver, Sabtu and Ahad with adik&emma, semalam kat rumah opah. Hari ni buka kat rumah on my own ja. Buat nasi goreng ja kut, tadi tengok ada sayur dalam peti ais, nak kasi perabih. So far sahur pun makan roti aja with ayam goreng (menu wajib). Only on hari ahad ja I masak pie, makan sahur and buka. Plan nak masak spegathi sebab adik dok paster that Saturday night, tapi lupa satu ingredient penting, so pie ja la.

Others : Hmm... terry dah selamat kat Doha. We saw her on Friday night before she left. I lepas2 penat Matta Fair tu pegi fecth kengkawan yang komplen aku banyak kerja and drove them to PJ. Met keirul, as and Aina and keirul's best friend too. :P

Baju raya next week siap. This year ada 4 rupanya. I thought 2 aja, tapi my tailor sempat siapkan. Mama dah start buat kuih for selling. Tak tau la proceeds this year dia nak buat pulak this year. First year dia beli kerusi, last year dia beli almari, this year beli apa pulak?

Nurin my darling niece is semakin naughty sekarang. And kelakar too. Hari 1st day buka puasa tu, while waiting waktu berbuka, I buat drawing class with her using water colours. She made 4 interesting drawings. I had fun. Hariz pulak still chembeng macam dulu. Tapi so far dia puasa ni okay la.

I lost 2 kg past one month. Now nak maintain it, and try to reduce another 1kg before puasa and maintain it until november. Kena buat step by step. Bulan puasa macam leh kurus, time ni makan paling banyak. Nanti this weekend nak kira ada inches loss tak. Berat turun tapi ukuran pinggang still sama, tak leh jadi jugak.

I love my new hair. Sempat lagi buat petang semalam before buka. Hehehe. Very ringan now, tak la berat & thick macam usual. Tapi short sket, I did some treatment too.

What else??? oh, I'm rich now!! At least until friday, before hantar balik buku tu kat mama and tak leh ada access sampai bila2. Bagus jugak mak aku buat macam tu, berbaloi simpan duit.

Opah not well. Last night visit dia tengok dia lemah sangat. Dia tak puasa this time. First day until 2pm only before my aunties tak bagi dia puasa. She will be at aunty yot's house for a while.

My car need service next week. Belum 10000 km lagi. Hmm... Asyik drive pegi balik office ja. The rest ada driver kan. Hehehehe. Pagi tadi baru 9399, How la? So kena bawak myvi la this whole week. Ingat nak get hold of the triton while driver is away in KK. Tapi takpe la, dah janji tak guna until cukup tempoh 1 tahun. Driver takde ni tak besh la, takde kawan nak gaduh and bertekak. I know he missed sakat me jugak. Kurang drama! So bulan puasa ni jumpa bila sempat in between buka & sahur or raya shopping. Better get used to the idea that he will be away for quite some time after this. Tapi yang best tu, bila dah takde jumpa selalu, apa mintak senang dapat. Hehehe. Tapi bila dah depan mata bertekak tak ingat dunia. Hehehehe. Hari sabtu ni balik sendiri naik bus ok? I nak enjoy my buka puasa with friends.

Oh, lupa, sesape ada baju nak sedekah kat anak2 yatim, yang elok2 punya, please let me know. I always do every fasting month. Kindly email/call me.

Okay, cek nak balik dah. Balik now kureng jam dari balik 5pm sharp.

Take care everyone, nanti I will blog again in 2 days!

2007-09-14T10:49:00.000+08:00

Hari ni sape pulak punya birthday?

It is Khairul Nizam Ghazali's birthday. A very close friend of mine who accepts me the way I am, and can handle my doink attitude. A true good friend who will back me up when I need his support or will really bambu me when I make stupid mistake. And will always be my best friend whether I wear imitation COACH handbag that I bought in Bangkok or a genuine LV handbag.

Hehehe, happy birthday dear!

2007-09-13T12:32:00.000+08:00

Just nak wish kak lin (also known as ibuhariz, the beautiful mother of my 2 adorable darlings (Hariz&Nurin), who is also a devoted wife to ayahnurin (who sometimes forgets how much sacrifice she has done, and jadi pemalas kat rumah kasi semak lepas ibu dah penat mengemas), my dear sister in-law, currently favourite daughter in-law of my mother, but soon kena compete with her daughter's (nurin) favourite : Aunty Emma)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAK LIN!!!

Semoga tabah hadapi Ramadhan, and good luck with the 3rd pregnancy. Can't wait for my new niece!

VERY-VERY-VERY-VERY-VERY BANYAK KERJA!

2007-09-04T20:42:00.000+08:00

Huh, past 2 days banyak nya kerja. Naik juling mata ngadap computer with lots of figures. :( Penat la!!! After 3 days lepak aja, otak cannot adjust with the work load. Too much resting! :)

I was in KL during the long weekend. Tak pergi Jakarta, tak buat apa pun. Visited friends & family aja. It was adik's birthday on Sunday (so as mom, maklong, and paklang's too). Tak buat apa pun. Pergi makan-makan ja on Saturday night. He is in Japan again this week for work. Tadi siang, kakteh hantar muffins and cookies made by mom. She went back to SP for the holidays.

Tak boleh tido past 3 nites. Mata celik until 3am in the morning. Nak kata sakit, tak jugak. Lagi energetic ada la. Nak kata bp naik, anxiety, hmm... tak jugak. BP stable nowadays. And I am calm. Takde nak stress apa pun. Sakit susah, sihat pun susah. Aiyak.

Okay, nanti I think I update lagi la next week, kalau sempat. This weekend sibuk Matta fair la.

Now nak balik, kena jadi kuli kejap, pick-up driver for dinner. Malam ni kasi chance less mengada, treat him as the boss for once. At this point rasa jauhnya nak drive! Takpe, sekali sekala. Semalam dah dera dia, hari ni kena mengalah la pulak. Am being less mengada lately, which I am sure he appreciates it. But only for a while. Once I'm not that busy, after fasting month, siap la. Hehehehe.

PESTA BOLA MERDEKA

2007-08-30T10:04:00.000+08:00

Finally Malaysia menang in a football match. All these while macam apa ja. But still, last night I watched the game, still nampak our players ni macam hampeh. Sikit-sikit jatuh, sikit-sikit angkat stretcher keluar padang. Takde fight langsung. Fight gaduh mulut & tangan ada la. Although kita menang, I noted Myanmar players lagi banyak buat attack at our gol side.

Whatever it is, we won last night. I just hope the team tak leka, but instead will do better next time. Yeah, I tau kritik ja. Main bolanya tak tau. Hehehehe. Congrats team bola!

Err... what happened to my ANSERI team bola? Bila nak ada semangat ni? Hehehehe. I missed cheering for team bola TROLAK college. Time tu memang fun & happening. Those were the days.

2007-08-29T19:12:00.000+08:00

My friends tengah paster I follow diorang to go to Jakarta Friday morning. Dengki la aku nak berehat. Entah lah, memang tempted. Bawak duit belanja ja. Hmm... I told them I will think about it and will decide tomorrow. So far flight ticket banyak lagi. Kalau pagi Jumaat bangun terasa nak pergi pun still boleh lagi. Hehehehe. Tengok la nanti.

Hari ni kerja not so bad. But I'm still at office at this hour. Teman my colleague siapkan his work. As return dia kena belanja breakfast besok and teman pergi parking later. My parking lot to dodgy siket. Masuk basement takde reception. If anything happen, no one knows you kat bawah tu. Usually if I takde bodyguard, I will get bf or my brothers on line, and if I don't sms within 10 minutes, it is their responsibility carik I kat parking lot tu. Haha.

Besok malam sure jalan pack gila. Everyone is going to the merdeka eve celebration. Jalan sure banyak tutup. Dah 50 years kita merdeka tapi ada lagi ramai umat kat Malaysia ni yang belum Merdeka. Isu perkauman masih lagi belum solve. Banyak sangat halangan nya. I nak tengok until what year nanti kita semua boleh jadi Malaysian. Tapi itu hanya mimpi ja la kut.

Okay, nak kemas and balik. My colleague dah habis work and I'm not going to Putrajaya. Driver banyak pulak alasan dia malam ni. Cet.

Before I end, nak wish my niece, Nadine Azallea Faisal : Happy 12th Birthday!
Kesian la dia demam pulak. Good luck for your UPSR dear. Make mommy and daddy proud!

Lupa nak bagitau, gambar tak boleh upload, my cd drive ni tak boleh bukak pulak. Dah suruh IT department fix. So I will do it next week la ye.

the long weekend coming up

2007-08-28T19:59:00.000+08:00

Besok kerja, then Thursday goyang kaki, then cuti 3 hari yeay!!!!

Apa plan? Duduk rumah and rehat puas-puas!

Yup, that is what I'm going to do. After 2 months full of activities, kenduris, makan-makan, jalan-jalan, working like hell and last week's birthday celebration, high time I duduk rest diam-diam kat rumah. Seriously. Ma&ba upnorth, most friends either balik kampung or pergi holiday, boyfriend off with his mares guys doing whatever they are doing, nobody is coming to KL to visit me, I am taking this opportunity to rest!

Kerja banyak hari ni, tapi BG dah settle, BSP dah settle, gaji pun dah settle, so this weekend memang la nak relax.

My birthday was okay. Not so bad feeling 32 years old actually. Whatever that I have not achieve, I can try it again next year. Thanks to friends and family for all your wishes and prayers, and presents and belanja makan. I know most of you got frustrated sebab tak dapat tag or post a comment, sorry ye, bukan salah kita la. Perhaps ada system error or you all tak match the codes exactly or did not wait for 2oseconds after the error entry. Anyway, I had a good birthday this year. Knowing people you love are still behind you no matter what, that is a good thing for me. At 32 I thought no more surprise party, ada jugak tukang buat. Hehehehe. It was really a fun wild night, thanks a lot. Tapi next year tak payah lah, chek dah tua la ooiiitttsss. Buat kenduri doa selamat takpe, hehehehehe.

Last Saturday I found this one kedai at Bangsar. Next to the post office, it is called Restoran Berjaya. They have yummy wantan mee there. Cost RM5.00 per plate, tapi very big portion. Kedai tu sempoi aja, tapi ramai orang. They also have nasi padang, tengok ramai yang beli, line orang beratur tapau bawak balik ramai jugak, so I assume sedap la kut. Perhaps next time I will try the nasi padang pulak.

I also found a good place to eat yummy nasi lemak. Where? Mares Club house in PJ. But I'm not sure whether it is open to public or not. Chik's (a club member) wife yang masak. Tapi memang sedap. Harga, tak tau pulak, I makan ja, paroe bayar. I lover the kuah kari ikan, tak lemak sangat, just nice.

Ramadhan is just around the corner. Korang dah habis ganti puasa belum? My baju raya dah siap sepasang, tinggal lagi 2 pasang nak ambik. This year 3 pasang cukup la. Safe budget nak buat baju glamer for weddings next year. And I still have 2 good baju kurung yang baru pakai sekali saja. Next year baru buat 10 pasang balik. Tapi this year not looking forward for raya pun. Ada la reason nya, nanti nearing to raya, if I feel like sharing it, I will blog about it. But it will definately make me feel sad.

Okay la, I nak balik. Hopefully jalan dah tak jam. Lately kuar office awal, tapi stuck in the jam. Busan betul.

Take care everyone.

Tomorrow I will try to upload the pix, kalau succeed, dapat la korang tengok gambar, kalau aku bengap jugak, sori la. Hehehehe.

kakteh's engagement

2007-08-20T17:33:00.000+08:00

What can I say about it? Hmm.... macam kenduri kawin!

Kakteh's engagement was held at nenek's house in gombak yesterday. Meriahnya macam kenduri kawin. Siap ada pelamin lagi. Thanks to my cousins Am & Wanie. Nasib baik letak kusyen aja, kalau letak kerusi, memang dah boleh sanding. Hantaran was lovely, 9 dulang my makteh(my father's sister) buat, pihak lelaki pun hantar 9. I love the cakes, both cakes, the carrot cake was decorated beautiful with kakteh's favourite colour, purple and maroon. The icing cake that nani (my father's adopted sister cum our babysitter during our younger days) contributed pun cantek sangat.

The ceremony started late. Pihak lelaki sampai lewat sejam. So kitorang apa lagi, posing la dekat pelamin. My sister looked very beautiful with her red/maroon kebaya dress. Zain, our family photographer, a good friend of mine, who is very familiar and comfortable with my family kenduris telah dikerah oleh my aunties, uncles, cousins and anak2 sedara too for pictures. Dia on duty dari 1030am sampai pukul 4pm baru dia balik. Ada dekat 550 pictures dia ambik. I managed to see them before zain balik, cantek. Banyak gambar kandid yang cute sangat. Penat jugak la my sis kena posing. Sampai dekat buai & garden rumah nenek pun dia posing ambik gambar. Tak sabar nak tengok the results nanti.

The food was great. About 300 family members came. Seriously, semuanya family related. And dalam 10 kakteh's very-very close friends. And tetamu was great too. Sabar tunggu pihak lelaki datang baru makan. Some of my aunties (my mom's cousin) yang I dah tak jumpa past 7 years pun datang jugak. Some relative from Singapore, Jitra, Alor Setar pun turun jugak. Cousins yang balik cuti dari Jepun and Uk pun ada jugak.

Me? Penat. Dengan panas, dok asyik minum air oren yang sejuk tu, hari ni tekak sakit sangat. Dah start batuk kering dah ni. Jangan la aku demam next few days ni sudah la. Nanti depress nak celebrate birthday. Tekak ni memang nak sakit, dari Friday nite ngap ntah apa-apa food aja. Last nite makan krispykreme donut, pagi tadi ngap cadbury, pastu dok minum ais. So tadi lunch makan sup sayur saja. Last duty semalam, basuh pinggan kasi clear dapur nenek. Favourite statement semalam, "aida bila pulak, lepas raya?" hehehehe. I jawab ja, "tanya my mother!"

Thanks to all family members who made it happen semalam. It was a good day for kakteh, I know, she was smiling the whole day.

I can't wait for adik & kakteh's wedding.

I can't wait for my wedding too. Hehehehehe.

2007-08-17T09:51:00.000+08:00

Hari ni last day nak berpoya-poya di office. Next week kena kerja keras balik sampai la raya. Hmm... Takpe, goyang kaki puas-puas hari ni.

Ngantuk. Lately ni susah sangat nak bangun pagi. Tido nyenyak sangat. Must be the ubat yang I makan. Nasib baik hari ni ubat last. Hopefully next week boleh bangun awal balik. Tak boleh jadi macam ni.

Last night pergi Jalan Duta hantar paroe nak pergi kuala perlis, ramai dah orang yang nak naik bus balik kampung. Ramai family with small children. Cuti sekolah dah nak start. Sure ramai yang skip hari ni and start cuti. I remember when I was young, during primary school, memang look forward cuti sekolah. Sebab time ni babah akan ambik cuti 2-3 hari and spend time with his children. Knowing my dad yang teramat busy nya, sometimes I nak apa-apa, I tulis memo ja and left it on his dressing table, even my report card pun dia sign, and tinggalkan note kenapa yang ni turun, kenapa maths and science teruk. Dia punya note pun kadang-kadang macam guru besar tulis : Sila berusaha lebih lagi. Hehehehe. So, time cuti ni, kitorang adik beradik memaximise kan our time with babah. Usually pergi penang, then up north jumpa toksu kat alor setar. Or go down south to Singapore visit our relatives kat sana. Tak pun pergi Genting ka, Cameron ka, Fraser Hill ka. I love spending time dekat apartment kat Genting tu. 3 big rooms, but ayong my brother a.k.a ayahnurin will always get the best room. Hmm.... those were the days. Now nak cari time pegi holiday sendiri pun susah.

Okay la, I nak start work. This week akan sibuk with kakteh's engagement. I've confirm and sent all the necessary things to opah's house. Tinggal nak amik cake besok and make sure photographer datang on time.

Take care everyone, have a good weekend.

Goodbye Terry

2007-08-16T13:40:00.000+08:00

Terry, a happening lady I know since I was 16 yeard old. We were in the same school, same college, same uni, same house in Canberra, and continued our friendship until today. We both see each other go through our lives, the ups and downs, shared the joy, helped each other during our sad time. But now she is leaving. She is going to work in Doha. I feel proud and happy for her, for what she had achieved, for her dreams that she will work hard to accomplish them, and finally for doing something for herself. She deserves the break, the independent of her own life. I hope she will find her happiness there.

We had a farewell dinner last night for her. Me, Sarah, Jue, Ruby, Zetty and Terry herself. Pity Iza couldn't join us as she just had her third child. A small get together at Jake's in Starhill. A yummy place to have steak. But I had chicken of course. And the hagendaz strawberry mocktail. Yummy. Last night dinner was great, we laughed and laughed and laughed. Looking at everyone, I thank God we did well. Although all of us complained we need richer husbands so that we can be tai-tai, but I know everyone is happy where we are. (Sarah sure kalau baca ni cakap no I'm not, hehehehe. Itu resume kasi update la!) So next year holiday trip definately shopping in middle east pulak. Boleh visit Terry nanti.

We paid the bill around 950pm but only left the place at 1030pm. Mana taknya, banyak sangat nak cakap. I jadi driver kejap hantar semua orang balik. Ye lah, angkut bini orang kuar malam, kena make sure semua safely home. Nanti hubby diorang tak trust aku dah ajak their wife keluar malam for ladies night out. By the time I arrived bukit dah 1145pm. Kesian my driver waiting sambil tido dalam kereta. Dapat delivery krispy kreme donut, sedapnya. Donut ni datang dari jauh, from Jakarta. Very crispy and fluffy bila makan. Although donut tu sejuk. Ingat dapat separuh ja, masuk rumah tengok dapat empat. Memang la driver delivery paling besh kat dunia. Nanti next week kita bagi award ok? Hehehe.

Pagi tadi pergi hospital. Semua okay at the moment. Semua stabil, tapi weight kena kasi turun. Nanti kena follow up again next 2 months. Ma&Ba balik kl besok with toksu. It will be a tiring weekend for me. I nak masuk meeting, nanti jap lagi sambung.

Take care everyone!

gloomy day

2007-08-15T10:42:00.001+08:00

Cuaca mendung ja kat luar tu. It is 1042am, should be bright and sunny. A good day to sleep in. I should have ponteng aja today. Hehehehe. Tapi banyak kerja la nak buat hari ni, so I decided to come in. Boss takde, nanti office ni kelam kabut pulak. Tapi still goyang kaki lagi. Nanti lepas lunch baru buat kerja la.

Hari ni gloomy, takde mood. Nasib baik malam ni ada reunion party, that will cheer me up. (Yes ayahnurin, yet another reunion thingy. Hehehehehe) A lot has happened since Sunday buat takde mood nak look forward for this Sunday kenduri. I have such an arrogant sister. I just hope things will sort out before the kenduri. My kenduri work starts on Saturday, kena jaga kek (this time mama makes us order 4 kek from 3 different places!!) Nasib baik yummy cakes. (Amy : ur choc cake if you tak amik by tonite, it is going into my tummy. Kenot tahan the yummy look, and yummy smell everytime bukak fridge!!!!) And I'm also in charge for gifts to be given out to guests and the groom's family on that day. That one semua dah beli, nak cari bakul & tray aja.

Lagi 7 days to my birthday (ni kasi reminder kat semua orang ni, hehehehehe). I have got early birthday presents. Mama yang paling awal kasi, which was a surprise, sebab selalu dia yang paling last kasi. Hehehehe. Had early birthday treats too from my friends. Had dinner with friends last Monday nite at MV. Having lunch with a friend today and another one this Friday. Makan free bulan ni. Going out for a teater nite out next week. Tapi this year birthday kureng sikit rasa feel. Perhaps I'm getting old. No more fun. And at the same time my goals are not achieved yet at age 32. Takpe, there is always next year. At least I know I will be rich by month end, that is something too look forward too.

Okay, nak sambung kerja.

CAMERON HIGHLAND TRIP

2007-08-14T17:33:00.000+08:00

It is raining out there at the moment. Aircond kat office ni pulak sejuk sangat. Lemak-lemak dalam badan jadi tepu pulak hari ni tak function. Cet. Time-time ni teringat trip Cameron last 28th July.

While we were eating and borak-borak at emma's house in Simpang Pulai during adik's engagement, we being me, paroe, kaklong shila, epi, ibuhariz and the kids menyampuk sekali sekala, paroe out of sudden sibuk tanya pasal Cameron Highland. We saw the big signboard after exit Simpang Pulai's tol, just before entering Emma's house. Rupanya dia tak pernah pergi Cameron Highland. I wasn't prepared for the trip. Sebab takde plan pun. The plan was to balik KL and lepak KL after kenduri, was hoping to watch movie la. But Cameron Highland sounds good too. :)

After getting information from Epi, Paroe & me left emma's house aroung 152pm. Ikut jalan baru. About an hour to reach Brinchang. Naik triton, kereta baru, uish, best ja la naik jalan berbukit bukau and bengkang bengkok. Lagi-lagi kalau ada driver! Hehehehe. We stop first at the strawberry farm. Signboard besar-besar tulis "pick your own strawberry" Apa lagi, kami pun stop situ la. I tukar baju dulu. Ye lah, naik cameron highland takkan nak pakai baju lip-lap kalah datin. Tengok bag, seluar purple, tshirt hard rock hitam, tudung bunga kaler biru. Hmmm.... bantai ja la. Although the baju lip lap looks much more better. Paroe tak tunggu pun, dia terus pergi pick-up strawberries dia. Nasib baik ladang tu tak besar. Sambil petik, sambil ngap. Besh. Besar-besar pulak buah nya. Dah puas ambil gambar and memetik buah, beli kordial, beli fridge magnet, beli jeruk strawberry (kedai tu macam-macam ada), sayur pun segar-segar belaka. I bought chocolate dip. We ate strawberry with coklat (bak kata siti nurhaliza) dalam kereta sambil drive naik atas lagi.

Half way, I nampak signboard besar-besar (really, their signboards are all big, you will not miss it) tulis Scones for afternoon tea. I suruh driver stop. Rupa-rupanya tu tempat ladang teh Cameron Valley. Tapi mahal gila itu scone. RM12.00 dapat 2 scones, butter, jam, and cream. Tu ja. Cet. Order air and karipap tu. Tengah makan, I call mama mintak no telephone anak kawan dia, Dida, who is working at Equatorial Hotel, Cameron. Dia cakap pergi Ladang Boh Sungai Palas near her hotel. We saw we have another 45minutes before its closing time (4.30pm daily tempat tu tutup for public). Driving to this place from the entrance is a nightmare. Jalan kecik satu lane. Tapi that is the only road to go up & down. At one part we saw 2 school busses coming down, nasib baik ada buffer kat tepi jalan. I risau ja triton tu calar. :(

10 minutes drive up jalan sempit tu, then kena jalan kaki daki bukit. Oh, semput sekejap. Tapi cuaca sejuk, tak berpeluh sangat. Kami sempat masuk kilang teh tu. Then beli-belah teh kat souvenir shop. Harga lagi mahal dari belik kat carrefour la. Tourist spot, so mahal siket kut. Hujan lebat tetiba, we had no choice to wait. Dari nganga ja, apa lagi, order scone and order tea la. Hehehehe. We also had cheesecake and pie. Yummy! Sejuk-sejuk, makan la, apa lagi. But the scenery dekat atas bukit tempat makan tu memang la fantastic. Ambik gambar lagi. Hujan reda, kitorang jalan turun bawah, terus pergi hotel ambik Dida. Sampai hotel hujan lebat balik. Paroe nak tengok Tanah Rata, so Dida bawak kami pusing-pusing kat Tanah Rata. We passed by few hotels & resorts, the expensive one, the cheap one. Tanah Rata was packed with people. Paroe sempat QSO with this guy from Alor Setar using Brinchang's repeater. Mamat tu advise kitorang balik jangan ikut Jalan Tapah sebab kalau time hujan-hujan and dah nak malam bahaya banyak lori and busses. We stop at KFC tapau dinner untuk Dida. Paroe saw kelapa laut dekat pasar malam, stop jugak dia nak rasa. Lepas hantar Dida balik, around 7pm kami turun ikut jalan yang sama.

Hujan makin reda tapi kabus tebal sangat. Dah sampai bawah baru lah visibility nampak clear siket. We stop kejap at petronas dekat simpang pulai. Then balik KL. Sampai bukit, driver nak makan kuayteow kungfu pulak. Masuk rumah, I tido nyenyak lena.

It was a good detour trip. I have enjoyed it very much.

Now nak balik. Nak kemas rumah before going out for late dinner. Unless driver is tired, then I will diet ini malam. Hehehehe.

SPKG

2007-08-13T16:45:00.000+08:00

Nampak sangat aku goyang kaki kat opis hari ni. Hehehehe. Takpe, hari ni ja, start besok I will hambakan myself with my work. Hari ni surf web, balas email, sakan email with my brothers and sisters, baca blog, now nak update blog for the second time. Hehehehe.

SPKG this year was great. At first memang taknak pergi sebab takde mood of what happened during that week, tapi lepas kena pujuk with driver I decided to go. Driver pujuk tak boleh tahan, cair terus.

Our journey start off by paroe the driver fetching everyone. Dia amik Ida, amik I, then kitorang amik aniz. Dalam kereta ada GPS, tapi tak boleh pakai punya. Asyik nak recalculate ja. Hampeh betul. Anyway, we left KL at 12midnight on Thursday. Ida & Aniz dah dooze off. I yang jadi co-pilot ni mata tak nak lelap pulak. Singgah Tapah isi minyak, beli roti & air. Lapar! By 3am, driver dah mengantuk, so we stop kejap kat R&R gunung semanggul. Driver cakap nak nap 15 minutes. Kejut dia cakap bagi lagi 15 minutes, at last I let him sleep for 1 hour. Dari planning nak pergi Kangar terus, driver tukar plan singgah my parents' house kat Sungai Petani. Driver terus masuk bilik tak ingat dunia dah, terus absorb kan diri atas katil. And so as Aniz & Ida. After breakfast, we left SP around 1030am.

Sampai Kangar at 12noon, jumpa abang Nazem dulu. Kasi can kat paroe sembang pasal radio dia dengan abang Nazem. Dia staff maktab, dulu keja kat dewan makan, now in pusat sumber. While dia borak, kami sempat say hi to all cikgu-cikgu yang lalu lalang kat situ like Cikgu Salim, Mr Jamil (my english teacher) and cikgu Farijah. By 2pm kitorang gerak pergi Kuala Perlis. Cari laksa, cucur udang and ketam goreng. We went to the same shop that we went last year. Masih sedap macam biasa. Perut dah kenyang, I mengada nak pergi Gua Kelam. Tempat ni on the way to Padang Besar and one of the main attraction dekat bandar Kangar. Apa ada kat sini? Gua semata-mata, and air sungai. It is a limestone cave sepanjang 400m. Ada jambatan dalam gua tu, zaman dulu digunakan sebagai laluan orang ramai nak angkut barang and hasil lombong bijih timah. Nak masuk bayar RM1.00 ja. Takde mood nak mandi, so jalan-jalan ja dalam gua.

Balik maktab, check-in bilik kat sick-bay, mandi and bersiap2 nak pergi Kuala Perlis again. Time dinner ramai yg dah sampai. 11 of us went to this place called Hai Tien makan seafood. Our friend Iesa from batch 6 saja ja buat gempak, bila bill datang cakap kuat kuat SATU TIGA TIGA ENAM. Ternganga mulut paroe kejap dengar. Dia la yang oder paling banyak, while makan kita tanya dia ada duit ka tak selamba ja jawab takde. Nasib baik bill tu RM133.60 ja. Which is very very very murah for 11 orang makan! Balik maktab, I tido puas-puas. Awal pagi dah kena kejut, kena kerah pegi breakfast. Terkejut lagi pepagi kena makan nasi. Kitorang takde choice, kedai roti canai penuh.

Event started at 10am. Ramai newcomers this year especially from the younger batch. My batch ada myself, paroe, zamri, anuardi, aniz and salwa. We break for lunch. Most of us lepak dekat bilik tido, but Aniz and me joined the crowd dekat dewan listening to Marina & Iesa giving tips on interview process. Lepas habis tu we had a fun sukaneka. Ada 3 games, I took part in musical chair and water balloon. Musical chair kalah time semi final. Adik form 4 tu main tipu. Kasi can la diorang menang. Time water balloon paling besh sekali sbb kitorang main passing balloon yang dah di isi air. Habis my baju basah dikerjakan paroe dengan sengaja nya.

Lepas dinner kat dewan makan, we went to Kangar town. Lepak minum teh, order capati. Makan aja kerja. Balik maktab, sambung borak sampai 430 pagi. Itu pun kalau I tak bersuara rasanya diorang sambung sampai subuh. Memang tak boleh stop sebab topic interesting sangat-sangat. Yang buat lawak pun ada. (Wawa : I still cannot get out of my head lawak coco crunch Didi tu). Yang tertido tapi bangun balik sambung cerita and gelak pun ada.

Hari ahad hari last, usually kami buat career talk. Myself, Ida, Nazif & Faiza jaga bilik finance. 1st half I did the talking, 2nd half Ida pulak goreng bebudak tu. By the time nak balik, rasa sad a bit. Ye lah, setahun sekali balik maktab, flashback old memories. We left maktab at 2pm, heading terus Padang Besar. Kitorang mempergunakan terus semaksima mungkin triton paroe. I angkut kukusan paling besar boleh cari kat Padang Besar tu. And also bekas air basuh tangan. Beli kerepek-kerepek tu semestinya la. Nazif sakan borong toto & kusyen. Paroe borong tshirt. Nazif and myself borong bracelet. Nazif of course la beli for his girlfriend, not for himself. Hehehehe. Thew we head to Alor Setar. Memula pergi rumah Hanizah kat Mergong. By this time Ida, Aniz & me dah annoyed with the GPS in the car. Ntah mana-mana jalan dia kasi. Asyik recalculate ja. Nasib baik GPS orang lain, kalau tak dah lama kitorang campak kat bendang yang kitorang lalu. Actually, jalan tu dah betul, tapi driver degil tak nak ikut. Baik tak yah ada GPS kalau macam tu. I yang blur gadget ni pun faham mana arah GPS tu suruh ikut. So kejap-kejap dia bunyi "Please make a U-TURN where possible" If I would get a GPS on my own, I nak yang ada suara sexy husky gila. Suara tukang kejut I in the morning everyday tu boleh tak?

Sampai rumah Hanizah, mak dia hidang mee. Macam mee hailam, tapi kuah dia kaler cerah. Makan rambutan lagi. Tunggu Hanizah hantar Marina pegi epot, she took the flight at 9pm from alor setar airport which is very near to Hanizah's house. Then we went to Ida's house. Ingat nak minum air kosong ja as perut kitorang semua dah full. Tapi mak dia goreng cempedak yang sungguh sedap. Hmm.... licin jugak. Aniz yang konon dah takde space pun tengok sedap aja balun cucur cempedak tu. Rasa macam beraya pulak. Then kitorang balik SP, mandi kasi badan bersih. At 1215am the 5 of us (including Salwa) makan nasi lauk kari ketam, sup ikan, special fried chicken mama and sayur. Mana datang space dalam perut ni tak tau la. Semua makan laju ja tengok. I had to wait until 2am perut dah turun baru I sleep.

The next morning I went to bank kejap with mama, settle a few things. By 11am kitorang gerak. Drop off Aniz kat rumah dia kat seberang perai, then kami pegi Penang. Paroe dah kat Utara tak singgah beli roti benggali dia tu tak sah. Balik rumah Aniz mak dia jamu makan nasi lagi. So, dalam I dok diet the week before that, sia-sia aja sbb naik berkilo-kilo during SPKG trip. Reached KL dah 10pm, letih. Letih makan!

pix boleh tengok kat sini, and sini.
cerita lebih kurang sama boleh tengok kat sini, and sini too.

take care everyone!

Chalee's Engagement

2007-08-13T10:00:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday morning I bangun pagi terasa bibir sexy gila macam angelina jolie. Tapi bila check dekat cermin, aiyak, bukan sexy lips, tapi bibir bengkak belah atas and bawah. Ni gara-gara makan sotong goreng tepung on friday night la. Planning nak makan kuayteow terbantut sebab tutup. So Hanizah sibuk nak pergi muara di port kelang. Makan 3 orang, 1 ikan terubuk bakar, 1 ikan siakap masak stim, and 5 ekor sotong buat goreng tepund, ada nasi goreng cina & sayur campur, total harga bayar RM113.53. Makan dekat kuala perlis the week before, 11 orang makan, ikan 3 ekor, tomyam 2 mangkuk besar, sotong, ayam, udang, sayur, air buah 11 orang minum sorang 2 gelas, harga baru RM133.60. Hmmm.....

Hari sabtu kerja minum air satu hari, nasib baik by noon bengkak tu dah surut. Pegi rumah nenek (my dad's mom) tolong ateh buat hantaran untuk my sis engagement next week. Then later petang siket pegi rumah opah (my mother's mom) pulak. Kena kerah gosok baju & sampin semua orang nak pergi kenduri. Sempat jamah nasi & lauk toucu masak minang Aunty Da masak. Delicious. Ada daging, tocu, tempe, tauhu, udang. Perut tengah lapar, apa lagi. Aunty Da yang tak nak makan pun terus makan tengok I makan macam besh ja. Hehehe. Adik beradik my mom sorang-sorang sampai petang tu, sebab after maghrib kitorang nak pergi majlis bertunang bangteh(my cousin) or else known as chalee, adik, kambing gurun, kat taman bukit maluri. Opah was not well, tapi kalau tinggalkan dia, someone mesti stayback jaga dia. Dah la kenduri adik&emma dulu dia mengeluh tak dapat pergi. At last aunty yut cakap jom pergi cari wheelchair. I went with her to farmasi dekat kedai taikim depan rumah tu. Nasib baik ada, RM330 standard wheelchair. Yang RM1k pun ada. Tapi kitorang amik yang standard punya la.

By the time we reached Taman Bukit Maluri, dah pukul 9pm. Kena held back sebab uncle Nuar sesat. Dia bawak barang hantaran. After 15 minutes waiting, with the help of the father of the bride, uncle Nuar managed to arrive with the hantaran. The ceremony went well. Uncle Sabu siap lengkap dengan pantun-pantun lagi. We were giving bang teh live telecast via handphone and webcam. So dia dengar semua benda. Tu la orang suruh balik, tak nak balik. Padan muka tinggal sorang-sorang dekat ireland tu. Dah la pakai baju melayu & sampin sorang-sorang kat sana macam orang tak betul ja. Apa lah. U missed to see ur guys cousins segak berbaju melayu bawak hantaran. Nasib baik tak ada kompang, kalau tak, mmg kira pergi kenduri kahwin la. Bangteh is popular and favourites in our family (kak long : terima ja la fakta kenyataan ini, although you cucu sulung opah, hehehehe). All the uncles and aunties and cousins will do all out when it comes to bangteh. Even uncles yang dah lama tak nampak muka, yang ada krisis dengan family pun balik gombak sebab bangteh punya pasal. Tapi nanti awak balik KL siap la. Kitorang semua dah ready with our claim bills. Habis kat rumah belah perempuan, kami semua pergi rumah maklong, sambung makan and borak, and distributes the hantaran we got from belah perempuan. I left early, around 1am sbb dah letih. The rest tak tau la pukul berapa diorang balik.

On Sunday kejut babah nak pergi jogging, tapi babah cakap cancel. So I sambung la jogging atas katil. Babah tak larat, mom was not feeling well the night before. I hope now she is back in SP she will rest the next 4 days before turun KL balik for majlis kakteh. Nanti dia kena balik dia punya stroke attack tu, parah kitorang nak kenduri next week.

Semalam tak buat apa sangat. Was in gombak, help mama masak, had lunch with my family. By 3pm babah gerak pegi rumah nenek, I went to KLCC to see my friends. Balik rumah by maghrib, then malam keluar dinner and ambil food kat rumah opah.

This week lega sbb bsp dah settle for next 2 weeks. Yeay. Boss pun takde, so I boleh goyang kaki kat ofis. Hehehehe.

Penat

2007-08-10T18:55:00.000+08:00

Huhuhu. Penat sungguh sekarang ni. Penat kerja, penat travel, penat makan!

This week dah 3 hari balik lewat. Pukul 930pm-10pm baru nak keluar office. Banyak kerja la. Auditing dah start. Nasib baik collection tengah okay sekarang. Dah few weeks lega rasa payment on time. The additional BG pun dapat collect jugak, cuma tunggu bank approval ja sekarang ni. Next week boleh relax sikit sebab boss takde. Kalau tak tu, hari-hari chairman masuk office nak tengok report itu la, report ini la. Aiyak.

Besok ada lagi satu engagement. This time Chalee, my cousin punya turn. Next weekend kakteh, then after raya will be my cousin Anny. Next year berderet kenduri. Shah hero jepun should be landing at KLIA now. Bagus la ramai-ramai cousins balik. Kasi riuh kampung.

My parents are on the way to KL. Tido rumah nurin sebab diorang travel ikut ayahnurin. Besok kena masuk office kejap. Ahad pagi planning nak pergi morning walk dengan ba&ma. Kalau bangun la, hehehehe. Babah komplen kita gemuk sangat. Cet. Ahad tengahari planning nak pergi KLCC while waiting for boyfriend tolong bestfriend dia pindah rumah. Am meeting some new friends I met upnorth last week. (Actually intention utama nak jumpa cute guy sorang ni, hehehehe. Tapi kalau jumpa dia sorang ja macam tak besh pulak, so panggil semua orang datang join. Hehehehe) Malam baru dating.

Hari ni nak balik awal. Driver mengidam makan kuayteow, so jawabnya pegi shah alam la ni. Balik nanti sure mengantuk. I am having back ache. Malam ni kena urut, kalau tak besok pagi sure sakit badan, nanti jadi cranky.

My SPKG trip this year memang la besh. Ramai muka baru yang datang. Nanti la kita story. Cameron highland pun tak story lagi. Takde idea nak goreng. Am looking forward for next Sunday, 19th., looking forward Wednesday 22nd, and the weekend 24-27 August.

Oh, radio/cd player is back in my car. Sekarang tengah gila dengar lagi 4 in the morning by Gwen Stefani. Her concert this 21st. Sesape berhajat nak kasi kita tiket free for my birthday present, sila kan la.

"4 In The Morning"
Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
& all I know is
You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

Take care everyone, have a good weekend!

Kena Ragut

2007-08-01T18:06:00.000+08:00

Last night after langgar kucing, of course la I call bf dulu. Ada ka dia cakap kalau kita bunuh kucing 44 hari akan suwei/nasib balang. Tu la, mulut takde insurance, menjadi sumpah dia. (Tau la tengah sakit hati, tapi tak payah lah curse kita ni teruk sangat. I told you I'll be angle next 2 weeks w.e.f next week....... this week still boleh naughty what!!!.... hehehehehe)

Anyway the first of that 44 hari tu dah start pagi tadi. Keluar dari bank terus kena ragut. I withdraw RM15k, sebab need to top up my chairman's accounts. While carrying that amount from one bank to the other okay. Of course I went with my colleague (actually, ex-colleague, she was around, so I asked her to teman me) After transfering RM11k in chairman's account (he must have cash, our internet banking is done hari ni!), I passed my handbang which still have the balanceRM3.8k to my colleague nak suruh dia bawak balik opis for petty cash usage. I took RM500 letak dalam envelope sebab nak pegi lagi satu bank nak bank-in. Keluar ja dari bank, time nak lintas jalan terus orang ragut the envelope. RM200 duit office, RM300 duit sendiri.

Trauma lagi pagi ni! I was not hurt, thank God. Terjatuh, tapi okay lagi. Everything was so quick. Nasib baik dia tak amik my handbag yang ada kat tangan abby. Kalau tak lagi la meraung sebab my IC, my bank card, my kunci rumah (which I don't have a duplicate), my kunci kereta, my kamera, my very expensive lipstic that I got for my birthday present over the weekend, the RM3.8k cash, my handphone, and other things not necessary to be disclosed here.

Hmm.... pergi Dang Wangi buat report, tapi macam la boleh dapat balik. Plate motor pun tak cam.

Kenapa la semua kena start at the begining of August? This is supposed to be my happy month, it is my birthday month. Baru look forward for August sebab nice things always happens in August (makan free, lots of gift, cuti panjang, etc, etc.) Hopefully lepas ni jangan la ada yang tak besh nak jadi. Nanti la fahroe balik dari Lumut malam karang, aku nak cili mulut dia.

Oh tidak......

With regard to the cat, huhu, now lagi tak nak fikir. Kalau mamat tu makan pun that cat, I tak boleh buat apa-apa.

Rasa nak balik SP malam ni jugak. Tapi now budget pun lari. Duduk diam-diam kat KL ja la!

:(

I killed a cat!

2007-08-01T09:11:00.000+08:00

Malam tadi, nak parking, accidently ter langgar anak kucing. :(

I nak ngelak kucing tu, kucing tu nak ngelak my car, accidently berlaku the unexpected. Cuak/trauma kejap. Langgar tiang, langgar dinding, langgar pintu garaj my dad kat SP (that was a week after getting my license), langgar signboard jalan, langgar divider jalan, tu semua I dah buat. Tapi langgar benda hidup belum lagi. After calming down myself, I tukar parking spot, naik atas amik newspaper. I dah la takut kucing, although cat yang dah mati, pening fikir apa nak buat. Takkan nak biar saja, kesian kucing tu. Dah la kena langgar, lepas tu terbiar. Ni bukan highway, tapi kat parking kereta rumah. Dalam tengah fikir apa nak buat, keluar la sorang mamat bangla dari blok bawah tu tanya apa jadi. I explained to him, dia amik paper tu, amik cat tu cakap biar dia uruskan. I tanya apa dia nak buat? Dia kata : "Kakak jangan risau, sekarang pegi cuci itu kereta". So that was what I did, I went to wash the car kat carwash bukit. Bila I balik, the mamat tu takde, and so was the cat. I tak tau apa dia buat, and tak nak tau apa dia buat. Agaknya dia tengok muka I gabra semacam tengah ngadap kucing tu tak tau apa nak buat. I thank him for that.

Malam tadi tak boleh tido lena. Teringat kat kucing tu. Pastu melalut la fikir benda lain. Around 3am baru nak lena, pastu terjaga balik around 4am, sampai 6am tak leh lelap dah. So pagi ni memang la cranky.

Jumaat ni saya cuti sampai Selasa next week. Yeay! But I'm not going for SPKG. I nak balik SP aja, by myself. This weekend tak sanggup dah nak put on my happy face, tak larat. I rather balik rumah and be on my own. Forget work, forget KL for a while, forget everything. And help mama pegi cari furniture, langsir and so on for the room. Mama dah rearrange the rooms for all of us, sebab lepas ni ada addition menantu balik rumah. I can't have my big room upstairs, have to satisy with the middle room on 1st floor. Kakteh takes ground floor, me and the hariznurin family on first floor, and adik&emma on 2nd floor. The balcony room (everyone's favourite) is going to be mama's wardrobe room! Emma tak tahan aircond, and babah tanak tukar lagi aircond transfer naik atas, so nak tak nak I ambil ja la bilik tengah tu. Dari takde bilik, hehehehe. Katil tu pun best dari katil atas, sape pulak nak mengangkat tukar katil & aircond.

Okay, I need to get back to work. Take care everyone!

Adik's Engagement

2007-07-31T10:49:00.000+08:00

It was a simple and sweet ceremony we had at Simpang Pulai last Saturday. Semua orang bangun awal, especially makngah. At 4am dia dah bangun masak nasi lemak for breakfast. By 7am family start datang rumah nenek. I arrived around 815am (bagus punya cucu, hehehehe). Around 9am we had a baca doa, then 7 cars gerak from Gombak, joined by 5 more kat simpang pulai. I kira about 42 of us yang pergi.

The meminang was very short and straight to the point. Lagi ringkas dari nak pinang my kaklin dulu. Semua dah agreed, dates ja nanti nak reconfirm sebab nak kena agree dengan kakteh and azrin later. But should be somewhere early part of next year. Emma family pun very simple, tak demand banyak, very down to earth people. So far besan my parents and bakal besan my parents ni tengok semua okay ja. Even parents kaklin pun join sekali pergi Simpang Pulai. One of the cool old couples I've met. Time makan rasa macam buat kenduri sendiri kat rumah. Both sides family belah babah & mama were there, kitorang buat macam rumah sendiri ja, hehehe. Sembang itu-ini. Best part bila kaklong shila arrived with her kids, and all of them, Nadine, Sara, Sophia, Dahlia and Johan were "Hi, aunty Aida" hug here and there, updated me with their school activities. Suddenly, out of blue, ada orang tarik my baju and shouted loudly "HELLO!!!!" It was Nurin, my darling niece, trying to highlight that she was there too in the crowd. Jealous pulak dia. Hehehehe. Tapi Nurin naughty sangat that day. Habis baju makngah and makteh kena tarik la, kena pijak la. Then dia cubit and gigit kitorang. Ayahnurin : bila nak bayar damage claim? Habis rosak my baju glamer. Nasib baik baju tu dah 5 years pakai, so bila benang hijau kitat tu dah tercabut, sengih ja la. Nurin, nurin!

After makan, amik gambar, we left Simpang Pulai around 150pm after azan zohor. I had a good time with my family that day.

Fahroe & me tak balik KL terus, kitorang detour pegi Cameron Highland. Simpang nak naik tu dekat bebenar dari rumah Emma. Itu, nanti later I story. Now I nak start buat kerja.

Menopause : The Musical

2007-07-30T09:11:00.000+08:00

Went to watch Menopause : The Musical performance yesterday afternoon at Putrajaya. My friend pegi with his other 6 friends, so I tumpang sekaki. Ticket RM35 ja, lagi murah dari tengok kat KL PAC or the Actor's Studio in Bangsar. The show was good, funny, so alive, good storyline to deliver its message, sexy and very good music. Ketawa tak sudah sampai terasa pedih pipi. The crowd was really great. The 8 of us really enjoyed the one and half hour show.

After that I singgah Alamanda sekejap, tapau food kat kedai my friend, Nelly's cafe. Met my cousin, Kak Zana, and her family. Balik KL jalan jam, dari putrajaya/kajang exit sampai la toll sungai besi. Dah maghrib baru sampai. Rest and lepak baca FHM ( I find guys magazine are more interesting, hehehehe. Got both KL version and UK version for July ni pun dah lewat sgt baca. I don't buy, just get it from the guys, then buat-buat macam harta sendiri, hehehehe) Had dinner yg I tapau tu at 9pm. Pagi ni seksa nak bangun, sejuk la, hujan lebat. Had to drag myself to office. Ikut hati nak sambung tido until the rain stops. The bed and my bantal peluk looks very yummy this morning time hujan-hujan macam ni.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

2007-07-27T09:58:00.000+08:00

Tadi kaklong shila tepon. Dia cuti hari ni. How nice. She asked me a question that I sendiri pun tak tau nak jawab. Telling you the truth kaklong, I kan minah drama, so semua I am acting at the moment. Only myself tahu apa I rasa deep down inside. Putting a happy face at the time you are at the lowest point of your life is an expert of Aida Yurani. But tomorrow will be adik's day, so let it be. I wish good luck in searching Epi. Men, they are all the same. (My guy friends, jgn marah aa... aku punyer blog suka hati la aku nak buat statement! Hehehehe). Please alert me once you dah locate dia. I will call and give him extra leter! Hehehehe. And I hope korang boleh join kitorang besok. The on-line HP tak payah hantar. Nanti sakit mata baca la. I'll just read the book aunty Nita bawak balik. Kita baca, tapi tak fanatik la. Amily and Aizat are back, so you can harrass them to babysit the kids nanti. Hehehe.

Pagi ni perut memulas, I think that ice-blended coffee kat Kemaman Kopitiam I had dinner at last night. Kopi tu memang tasted semacam. I sip quarter of the glass only. Rasa weird. Had dinner with Daniel, and later adik and Emma(the soon to be my sister-in-law) joined us. While adik & daniel borak sakan catching up, Emma updated me with her preparation for tomorrow. Memang semua dah ready, tinggal tunggu kitorang sampai aja besok. Tinggal map and duit toll/petrol for all cars nak kena prepare and distribute pagi besok before leaving. Okay, now nak masuk meeting.

2007-07-26T19:13:00.000+08:00

Ingat hari ni nak puasa. Sebab semalam lunch kaw-kaw kat KLCC, then malam makan lagi kat Kinrara. Tapi balik last night dah lewat, borak sakan with my friends kat Kinrara tu, sampai rumah lupa niat. Pagi ni bangun awal, pergi Shah Alam. Sampai McDonald Seksyen 20 tu, while waiting for my colleague, sedap-sedap ja breakfast. Dah drive pergi Putrajaya baru sedar sepatutnya nak puasa hari ni. Takpe, nanti besok start la.

Tadi half day kat Putrajaya. Pergi Jabatan Akauntan Negara, ada seminar. Nasib baik tak sesat cari tempat tu. Tapi parking jauh la. Kena cross the road. Yang best nya the guards at the parking kena berdiri/duduk bawah shades, bawah pokok yang tak semena tinggi kat luar bangunan tu. Tapi autopay machine for carpark ada pondok kecik, siap ada aircond tu. Hmm....

This week rasa low gila. Tapi boleh tahan lagi. Belum mereng lagi. Trigger nyer dah ada, tinggal nak explode ja. Lagi tambah tadi at 5.29pm received fax from IATA suruh increase BG lagi. Doink la diorang tu. Baru ja last month I top up my BG RM85k due to increase in sales from Mar06-Mar07, now the letter stated that nak kena tambah lagi RM40k due to increase in sales from July06-June07. Ape hal dia elapse the period time. Dah la tiap-tiap minggu semput make sure duit cukup nak bayar BSP. Geram betul. The last 2 weeks I managed to settle weekly 1million BSP, bayar lagi hutang chairman, bini chairman, anak chairman to make sure company runs macam biasa, collect sakan semua outstanding. Gaji pun I dah prepare seminggu awal bulan ni. Hmm.... I dah draft letter, biar chairman check, mintak jugak waive. Sebab nanti come NOV/DEC memang kena renew jugak. Lagi mau mintak. Kitorang print ticket kat office, bukan print duit. Tapi rasanya letter tu sah kena reject, so for the next 4 weeks kena set aside RM10k weekly. The new BG kena submit 28th August. Cet!

Besides that, now I have 24 hours to prepare mentally and emotionally for the weekend. My little brother's engagement. I am happy, I feel glad. Tapi jauh sudut hati ada sad nyer. Hopefully everything will go smooth kat Ipoh this Saturday. Tadi confirm 39pax going. Semua convoy naik
kereta. Tak tau la last minute ada yang nak ikut lagi ka tak. Sebab kereta semua dah full with things and orang. Am going with my driver, jangan la ada aunty-aunty yang laser nanti. But knowing them, I know they will not. My dad is cool about it, so I guess okay la kut. Mama still last minute hari ni tanya itu ini, update guest list for kakteh's next month. Dari 150, to 200, now confirm 250. And that is only family, no friends. Tu pun ada lagi family tak jemput. Kenduri next year tak dapat bayang kan. Ayahnurin kawin dulu pun ada dekat 4000 datang, nasib baik laman rumah quarters tu besar padang bola. And mama managed to get her carrot cake yang susah nak dapat tu nak bawak hari Sabtu ni. (Emma : u better potong and give me and kakteh siket so that we can eat on the way balik KL. Mama really dera us for that carrot cake punya pasal!)

Apa lagi, oh, Sunday pun ada agenda nak buat. Excited jugak tu tunggu Sunday ni. Lama dah tunggu. Kalau ada masa in between nak start baca Harry Porter this weekend. I tak yah susah-susah beratur kat kedai or mintak bestfriend teman beli buku. My book datang jauh, bought at UK itself, paid in pound. Arrived KLIA on Monday morning. Tapi tak baca lagi. Takpe, kita bukan fanatic Harry Porter. Nak baca buku, kena ada mood. Sekali dah bukak, tak lepas. Sometimes pegi Kunikuniya tu sakan beli buku, tapi baca nyer 2 months after that. I still have the shopaholic series yang dah lama beli, tapi still in plastic. Sebab baca buku lain yang beli lepas tu dulu. Tengok time, tengok mood. But so far semua beli buku tu worth buying. Although some tu cekik darah.

Okay lah, stop bebel. Will update adik's engagement next week. Take care people. Enjoy the weekend!

Kunang-kunang

2007-07-20T13:45:00.000+08:00

Last night had dinner kat restoren kunang-kunang. Tempat ni pricey sikit. Nasi goreng seafood RM8.90. Dapat nasi banyak, keropok, telur, chicken wing, 3 ketul udang, lavish crabmeat & squid, and also oyster, The kueyteow kungfu pun RM8.00, tapi very big portion, boleh makan 2 orang. Western food ada, tapi price range RM21.90. Tempat dia open air, ala-ala bali resort punya decoration. Ada in-door jugak, tapi macam sejuk ja sbb ada aircond. Tapi nak tunggu food ada macam lama siket. Location is around MRR2. After exit taman melati/terminal putra lrt, ada stesen minyak shell and projet. Masuk at that exit, after projet you can see Kunang-kunang before kedai jual fruits. Dari luar hi-way memang tak nampak sangat sebab tempat tu banyak pokok la.

I dah pergi tempat tu ada la 4 kali. Discovered during Xmas weekend last year. Dah tak tau mana nak makan so paroe cakap try la tempat baru ni. We went again in Jan, in april (the night before I left for Russia) and last night. Sekali sekala boleh la bila dah busan makan kat bukit tu. Hari-hari kopak la. Tapi kalau hujan then places limited, sebab most meja kat open air. To those yang duduk near gombak/ampang/melawati area yang selalu sangat sesuka hati tepon saya tanya mana tempat best nak makan (ingat kita ni food directory ka?), please go try this place during gaji time ok? Good place to celebrate birthdays, family dinner-out day, anniversary, lepak with old friends, meeting blind date, first date, or pujuk girlfriend tengah merajuk yang suka makan ayam. The chicken meals here confirm delicious! Now they give you car sticker and key-chain for free too. Free advertising for them.

Besok I'm off, ingat nak rearrange things at home, busan tengok tempat sama semua benda. Tapi baru dapat tau kena pergi lawyer office pulak. Nak discuss our court case in September and nak serah few documents. So need to do that first thing in the morning. Petang siket la baru nak kemas rumah. OR kalau malas gak,duduk ja diam-diam tengok tv and sleep. My back is aching and my eyes rasa pedih. Too long ngadap computer these few days. Ahad petang nak tengok harry porter. Kalau dapat ticket la. Kalau takda, tengok ja muka boyfriend tu puas-puas jadi lah. I will not see him for the next 48hours (that is consider very long dah) He'll be busy at mares club and attending to bestfriends and wedding. Off course I don't let him off the hook as simple as that la. Tapi takpe, only for 48hours, then I can have him back all to myself. I'm becoming more emo nowadays then last time. Nasib la. Tapi kita emo, kita fair. Tak buat perangai mengada nak jadi queen control. Let him have his 48hour break. He has his own life too. Ok, enough said. Dah merapu banyak dah ni. Nak pray, then sambung kerja. :(

Mood Sedih

2007-07-18T09:48:00.000+08:00

Bukan mood sedih apa, sedih dengar semua penumpang pesawat Nuri yang terhempas last Friday tiada seorang pun selamat. Semoga roh mereka ditempatkan dengan golongan orang-orang yang beriman. Alfathihah.

Hari ni akan busy sket. Big boss masuk, so banyak kerja, banyak meeting. And kena cari lagi RM600k short for BSP. Hmm... I had a bad dream last night, pagi tadi tersedar sambil meracau, tapi tak ingat la mimpi apa. Pagi tadi bangun rasa penat semacam. Just nak pesan, selagi kita tengah hidup ni, appreciate semua yang ada sekitar kita, especially your family. You never know when you will go back to your creator.

Take care everyone.

2007-07-17T11:38:00.000+08:00

Hari ni masuk ofis 8am. Ada morning meeting. Tapi hari ni masuk ofis rasa lega sbb last nite I stayed back until 930pm to balance my account. After 3 days searching through whole year journal entries, I found the problem yang buat account tak balance. Yeay. Pening to tak balance RM34k. Naik juling go through the transaction one by one. Buat month to month ledger aku balance, tapi bila print for whole year tak balance. Software ni mereng dah. Satu hari punya banyak transaction. Now need to wait for the software people to explain why such things happened.

Ansara meeting on Saturday went well although for the first time in 14 years the president post is being challenged. I voted for Mukhriz against my chapter's resolution. But I feel that this guy deserve a second chance to wake up and do something for ansara. But the post for vice president was tough. The winner won by majority 1 vote. 73 v 72. Now that one of my chapter's representative is in the exco, I hope they will do something to unite the whole organisation. Good luck to them.

Ba&ma went back to SP on Sunday. I had morning breakfast with them at opah's house, then went to nenek's house around 9am to continue further discussion on the engagement. Now from 200 invitation has become 250 invitation. Hmm.... But the good point came out of this whole issue is that mama allowed me to withdraw my saving money. Yeay. I kecek kat mama kesian nak tolong adik & kakteh especially for their coming wedding. As the elder sister I can help them financially which they really need for the kenduri. Ye lah, tak la sponsor semua, sikit pun jadi la. Nanti I save lain for my wedding. Tak luak duit tu pun. Although my parents are well prepared, but I want to contribute too. So finally, after all this while tak dapat, now I can withdraw it. Yeay!

After sending ba&ma balik, I went to Genting Highland. Visited the site where the army troops are on standby for the search rescue of the Nuri helicopter yang jatuh last week. Punya la ramai yang standby. I went with guys from MARES. 3 cars, masing-masing antena punya la tinggi at their vehicle. Antena tu lagi tinggi dari myself, kalau tak dengar clear jugak time QSO tak tau la. I lepak ja la, borak with anak Hamid while the guys turun bawah do things they need to do. Sejuk & nyaman kat atas tu. We went half way ja, kat Institut Aminudin Baki, tak naik sampai atas, tapi kabus kat situ boleh tahan. We were up there around one hour saja. After that on the way turun, hujan lebat. Ada accident. As it was raining heavily, fahroe decided tak stop, so i tried to call the emergency line. Ada ka aku tepon the operator tanya I balik so nak sambung kat hospital selayang ka hospital gombak. Dia yang kerja emergency centre dia tanya kita balik. Then bila sambung hospital selayang, operator tu tanya I ada kat tempat kejadian ka tak. I said I nak report ja, mintak dia hubungi hospital terdekat pergi tengok tempat kejadian. Sebab ada 3 kereta remuk, ada kids ramai, dah la hujan lebat. Tapi sebab I takde kat tempat kejadian, dia tak nak entertain. Doink betul la diorang tu. At the end I give up.

Balik KL, perut lapar, carik kueh. Pergi OU carik tiket transformers. Kat GSC habis, tinggal row depan. Pergi TGV ada ticket 4 row dari depan. Belasah ja lah. Dengki ni sebab ramai yang dah tengok and cakap best. Memang best pun. Memang nanti akan tengok 2 kali ni nanti. After dinner, by the time sampai rumah terus sleep.

Tadi mama tepon, banyak pulak dia suruh I buat. She still insist nak carrot kek tu. Kedai tu dah la seksa nak parking. Tapi kena buat jugak. Request mak ni payah la. Then dia nak I cari itu-ini. Malam ni kena pergi kedai la carik.

Hari ni bf pergi lumut (Fathil : bf stands for boyfriend, not best friend or best of best friend. hehehehe. I don't go hushi-mushi with best friends, only with boyfriends. I love my best friends and will do all my best to care, protect and make them happy, which you are one of them, so you know how I treat my best friend la, so jauh beza from boyfriend. Jgn gaduh lagi pasal the term dgn Sarah, apa la korang ni.) He'll be travelling a lot after this. So my schedule sure kena cut off lepas ni. Takpe, so far boleh handle. He needs time off dari mengada kerenah saya yang extreme drama mengada ni.

Alamak, boss intercom panggil pulak. Stop jap, nanti sambung. Ada lagi benda nak story ni.

Nurin, Chik, Kenduri Kawen

2007-07-14T12:25:00.000+08:00

Tadi I tepon opah house to speak to my niece.

Me : Nurin buat apa?

Nurin : Nak tengok sungai.

Me : Best ka tengok sungai.

Nurin : Nanti nurin tengok nurin tau la. Makngah tak datang sini rumah opah nyang ke?

Me : Makngah kerja la hari ni. Makngah tak datang.

Nurin : Ala makngah ni. Tu la asyik keluar ngan uncle faro je, tak datang sini pun.

Me : Makngah kerja la. Kat ofis ni.

Nurin : Ye lah, nurin nak tengok sungai ni.

After one hour, I called again to speak to her.

Me : Best tak tengok sungai belakang rumah opah nyang?

Nurin : Tak best, ada air ja. Kaler coklat. Bila makngah nak datang sini?

Me : Makngah tak datang, makngah kerja.

Nurin : Hmm.... ye lah.

I know dia nak I datang, tapi makngah kerja la. Nanti jumpa this month end during our ipoh trip ok?

2007-07-14T09:34:00.000+08:00

Hari ni birthday Chik Halim, hubby aunty Dah, my mom's brother in-law, my uncle. I hope I will cherish you more in the years to come. Chik & Aunty Dah takde anak, takde rezeki, tapi kitorang anak sedara kalah macam anak dia sendiri. Being the youngest in the family belah opah, so Chik is one of my cool uncles. Dengan dia semua okay aja. Dulu, when I first came to KL to work, I stayed at opah's house, Chik la pepagi hantar I pegi office kat Jalan Ipoh. Then baru dia pegi his office in Brickfield. Happy Birthday Chik! Semoga panjang umur and murah rezeki.

Last nite meeting at nenek's house went well. Babah, being eldest in the family, and being ex-ocpd conducted the meeting ikut cara polis. Siap ada kata-kata aluan, siap ada tukang amik minutes (that was me), siap ada kata penutup. Arahan kerja semua dah diberi. Nanti adik beradik dia (being my uncles & aunties) will send him the bill. Hehehe.

Adik's engagement is this coming 28th July in Ipoh. Then kakteh's in on the 19th August kat rumah nenek. The wedding is somewhere end of January or February next year. Kalau buat kenduri rumah nenek memang senang. Sebab tukang buat hantaran ada (my makteh is very good!), tukang buat kek ada (itu semestinya maklang), tukang in-charge katering and pelamin (mak anjang ada kedai kecik depan rumah dia), tukang sambut tetamu (busu and mak usu), tukang kemas, pasang khemah (or rather make sure the job is done : that will be my pakngah, paklang and achik), headchef (usually makngah) and supervisor aka mandor making sure all work is done : of course la nenek! Theme colour adik will be hijau, kakteh amik kaler maroon for the engagement ceromony.

Babah said tunang is only for family terdekat. Nanti kenduri kahwin baru jemput ramai-ramai. Tapi family terdekat pun dah 200 orang. Nanti nak menghantar adik bertunang pun dalam 10 kereta, tu dah kira 40 orang. My adik 2 orang pandai buat kenduri sekali, save budget diorang. I was helping them doing calculation. Hmm.... banyak lagi tak cukup belanja. But ayong said he will help (ayong : if you do the same for them, can you chip-in for mine too nanti? hehehehe) and of course I will help financially too. Tapi barang-barang diorang dah beli. Saw the ring adik bought for emma, very beautiful. Cost adik a bomb for that. Hmm... my 2 adiks are getting married, they are moving on. They used to be dependent on me, but now they will start their own family. I wish the very best for both of them.

Babah of course did not let me off the hook yesterday. Dia siap buat announcement lagi semalam, as for kakngah, her wedding is either dalam masa terdekat ni, or by end of next year. Berhenti sekejap my jantung dengar, tapi I buat-buat bodoh la. Hehehe. Whatever he meant by that, I don't want to know about it. After meeting I had a chat with babah privately. I know he is worried and concern, he gave me a very wise advice last night. But being babah, he leaves it to me. He was not angry at all, which was a good sign. He was last month, to the extend I nak cakap ngan dia, wish Happy Father's Day pun I kecut perut.

This morning ada lagi satu meeting kat rumah opah (mom's side) to discuss pasal adik and kakteh, and also to discuss pasal Chalee's engagement. Bangteh pun nak bertunang next month. Wedding sometime next year too. Huh, busy la macam ni kat gombak. Kenduri sepanjang masa.

What about me? Hmm.... itu nanti I will announce when the right time comes. Now is adik, kakteh and bangteh's time. Cukup la 3 orang nak pening kepala for right? Don't worry, time aidayurani is coming, soon.

Okay, I better do my work now. After this nak pergi Ansara, then dating sampai malam besok. Yeay!

DELICIOUS

2007-07-13T20:00:00.000+08:00

Malam semalam pegi bangsar village. Dinner kat DELICIOUS with iza, sarah, terry and jue (my friends from same uni in Canberra). Punya la banyak makan. Paling delicious chococalate cake with vanila ice-cream. Mmmmm..... Food kat sini sedap, tapi harga boleh tahan. Cheeseburger around RM21.00 but it is a big portion. I had lamb massala with nasi pilaf. That is RM18.00 per plate. Tapi kena tempat la, bangsar! Once a while pergi okay la, hari-hari pergi, kopak!!!

We had girls only night out. Hubby and boyfriend not allowed to join, to the extend keirul who is eventually part of the group is not allowed to join. (Kitorang tak bagitau dia pun, hahahaha). So, we had yummy food, yummy gossips, and catching up. (Iza & Sarah : Sorry for the unsangkarable news, I've been holding it for so long to find the right moment to tell you girls, jangan marah ok?) I haven't met Jue for 3 years. Last jumpa buka puasa 2004. Now that she is working in KL, very near my office, one of these days, I nak have lunch dengan dia. Jue is married to a Singaporean so dia tinggal sana. Working in KL is a temporary thing until dia habis her papers. Good luck Jue.

Borak sakan, gelak sakan, sampai nak pecah perut. Looking back, lebih kurang sama ja perangai kat Canberra, cuma ada matured sket sbb 3 orang dah jadi mak budak. Iza yang perut sarat pun masih lagi happening. Terry is going to Doha soon (provided dia lepas health check-up today), sob-sob, lepas ni takde kawan nak gossip best-best. Hopefully she will find her
happiness & freedom there. We are planning to go Dubai pulak next year (this year dah pegi Bangkok)

By the time balik rumah semalam dah 1230midnight. Now kat office, but about to go home. My parents are here. Malam ni ada meeting at rumah nenek. Everyone dah sampai except for me & ayong (ayong : mana aci guna kuasa veto. Make sure besok korang nyer turn escot ma&ba). My kakteh dah sms, mama dah tepon ada lah dalam 5 kali since 6pm asking what time I balik. My aunty pun dah dok sms ni soh cepat balik. Hehehehe, saja ja buat2 lambat balik, kalau pergi awal nanti kena leter. Lagipun meeting hari ni pasal adik & kakteh, nothing concern me. Actually my mom and my aunties tu I boleh handle. Takut nak balik ngadap babah. I tau dia tunggu masa ja nak cakap face to face. Banyak benda dia tanya I belum jawab. Aiyak...... nasib baik malam ni dia sleep rumah opah, and tomorrow I kerja, then I ada AGM Ansara, and malam babah ada dinner with his old friends. Selamat......... Tapi ini perut dah lapar la, balik lewat nanti food habis. Bukan leh percaya diorang tu. Hmm.... okayla, balik now!

I don't love you like I did yesterday

2007-07-12T11:52:00.001+08:00

Dari malam semalam sampai now lagu ni ja dalam head. I am hooked to My Chemical Romance. Having all the CDs collection now. Tapi yang dok main dalam CD player is this one only now. Ada CD tu nanti rosak asyik repeat aja.

The song :

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you, Like I didYesterday"

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you, Like I didYesterday"

2007-07-09T20:34:00.000+08:00

Penat la hari ni. Penat apa tak tau. I had a very happening weekend. Balik semalam bantai tido dari 630pm sampai 730am. Kalau takde tukang kejut, silap-silap tido sampai 12noon hari ni. Malam Sabtu tido 3 jam aja. Malam Jumaat pun tido kejap 3 jam aja. Tu yang bantai tido sakan semalam. Memang tak sedar.

Ni penangan 777 punya hal. Best giler. Sesape yang tak pegi tu memang la rugi besar. (Wahir : seriously kau rugi. Read the emails dear. The guys ramai yang sebak. After 15 years memang la happening. Kau rugi tak dengar minah gossip aka Iza classmate kau jadi penglipurlara kat PD. And kita tak sempat honeymoon la, sibuk jumpa kengkawan lama, hehehehe, takpe weekend ni boleh honeymoon!)

Nanti I update pix. Tunggu paroe buat. For time being boleh tengok some pix from Joe's camera here : http://www.fahroe.com/gallery/my-777

I was vomitting and having slight fever since Friday night tapi saya gagahkan diri jugak (actually tak la susah sangat, kita ada drebar and tukang angkat barang, hehehehe). Malam dinner tu pun muntah sket, naik atas, tukar t-shirt, boleh sambung happening join kengkawan kat bawah. Some guys stayed back until 6am, then terus balik KL and north. Yang balik dari Dubai semata-mata untuk gathering ni pun ada.

My ex-classmates, the 6 of us had our private reunion tepi pool while the rest lepak kat lobby after the dinner. We had a long chat, catching up with our lives for the past 15 years. After 4 months tunggu kisah benar dari Jack, Sally, Ma'in, Mawaddah, Nita and myself, finally malam tu semua reveal. Semua persoalan dalam email/sms selama ni terjawab. Selama ni dok cakap nanti jumpa kita cerita lah, ha amik kau, semua tak boleh lari. Semua orang interrogate semua orang. And the 6 of us are still the same. Otak separuh tak betul macam kat kelas dulu, masih sama.

I met Noni, my debate partner. Last I met her was at Maktab, the day before my last SPM paper. She is still the same. There were few guys whom I never spoke to at maktab, like Mamat, the head organiser, Daffi Ranjau, Fendi. Tapi pasal 777 ni punya la banyak kali I berurusan dengan diorang settle kan pasal gathering. Aween yang sakit-sakit tu pun datang and enjoyed herself (tak ingat laki tu, hehehehe), Ma'in tinggal terus laki and bala tentera dia kat rumah. I hope pagi ni dia dah boleh adjust balik after 1 and 1/2 day merdeka jadi ibu mithali. Lepas ni aku nak tengok cinta sape yang berputik lepas reunion. Dah nampak dah malam tu, hehehehe. Ada lagi yang single and ramai yang dah kembali single. It happened to me, it can happen to these people tu. Ma'in sure kau agree statement ni. Hahahaha.

Boleh kata everyone turned-out well. Ramai yang datang dengan family, besh nyer tengok anak diorang kiut-miut. Kita tahan sabar ja la. Takpe, think positive, my day will come. Not giving up on that babycrave thingy. Just not yet!

Okay la, nak balik dah. Nak rest. Hari ni penat kerja, juling mata tengok computer, and bahu pun rasa stiff semacam. Nak kena mengadap tukang picit jap.

Take care everyone!

p/s : my boroi dah tak boroi dah! Makin hensem, tak caya, pi tengok gambar dia sekarang. Kenapa la aku tak ngorat dia kat maktab dulu? hehehehe. gossip royda punya la sakan kat maktab tu sampai jadi agenda kelas seni lukis topic creative writting. Ada ke cikgu rozaini cakap : "kita ada boroi, kita ada aida, they are so cute together, nickname royda. That will be our creative writting for this week!" Takpelah, takde jodoh. I am happy with my current boroi boyfriend now. His perut is just nice, and his botak head too! Hahahahaha.

2007-07-06T13:43:00.000+08:00

Baru sudah lunch kat cm. Selama ni suruh orang tapau food ja and makan dalam office, tapi lately asyik kuar lunch time. Muka pun dah hitam sebab kena jalan keluar bawah panas terik. My area makan choice tak banyak, dah bosan dah. Next week kena cook and tapau bawak lunch to office. (Err.... ye ke nak buat tu?)

Last night for the first time I independently drive myself to Bandar Kinrara. Tak la susah sangat pergi sana. Tak payah susah-susah naik bus no ??? yang p5 selalu usik dulu. Thanks p5 for your assistance, told you I can be independent. Now you can sakat me all you want. :p

Besok nak pergi Port Dickson. Yeay. I'm sure it will be a havoc weekend. Finally 07/07/07 is happening tomorrow. Will update about it next week.

At this moment I really missed my darling nephew & niece. I have to thank my kak lin (my sister in-law) for teaching my darlings to be thoughtful. Bila I demam hariz&nurin mesti telefon tanya "Makngah demam ka? Cian Makngah!" and last tuesday they called again to ask I dah baik sakit mata ka belum. Sometime nurin just love calling me to ask whether I dah balik dari office ka, or have I had my dinner. If I answer I haven't eaten, mesti dia bising suruh I makan. If I ask her to cook for my dinner, her standard reply : "Nurin kecik lagi la, nanti umur Nurin 18 tahun Nurin masak la" hmm....... And when she calls dia dengar suara orang lain like suara radio ka while I'm driving, suara tv or suara other people if I'm at the mall or something, mesti dia akan tanya sape. And bila dia good mood she will end the call saying "I love you makngah, makngah cantik, nurin pun cantik" dia tak nak kalah. Tapi kalau dia takde mood, or being naughty, she will follow what her father thought her "bye makngah, makngah gemuk!" Then I will laugh out loud! They are going to watch transformers besok. (Hariz : without me? spiderman3 pun tak ajak makngah. Nanti makngah merajuk????. Ayahnurin : make sure the kids have good seats. I know you have pontential to neglect them as you love transformers so much. My brother does play with his son's transformers games & toys mengalahkan anak dia!)

I'm busy at the moment but my mood is back to normal. So to the person yang I ngamuk and hated so much in previous post, I would like to apologise. (Ye lah, marah in public, mintak maaf in public la jugak. I bukan jenis arrogant marah-marah tak sejuk hati or tak mintak maaf or tak reti nak pujuk balik like some people). Tapi when you messed with me, you'll get it. Don't play-play with the new aida. And thank you for the effort you did last night, tu I appreciate.

Okay, now nak sambung buat kerja yang bertimbun tu. Take care everyone, have a great weekend, I know I will.
