Goodbye Channel 11point 5

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

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?

Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude is a German word a friend of mine asked me to look out what it means.

Meaning : 'pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune'. (This doink friend of mine is enjoying every single second bullying me at this moment)

I googled the word and found the following interesting words (similar word in other language) :
Malay language : padan muka!!!
Arabic: shamaatah شماتة (shamtan, taking pleasure in the misfortune of others)
Bulgarian: злорадство (зло, evil or harm, радост, joy)
Chinese: simplified Chinese: 幸灾乐祸; traditional Chinese: 幸災樂禍 (幸 enjoy[ing]; 災 [other's] calamity; 樂 be happy for/laugh at; 禍 [other's] misfortune/suffering)

Greek: χαιρεκακία (χαρά, joy or delight and κακία, spite or ill will)
Hebrew: שמחה) : שמחה לאיד, joy, איד, misfortune, based on Proverbs 17:5) (simcha la'ed), also: " מתכבד בקלון חבירו " (see Mishneh Torah, the laws of Teshuvah chap. 4:4).
Hungarian: káröröm (kár, loss or damage, öröm, joy)
Norwegian: skadefryd (skade, damage, fryd, joy or happiness)

And the best part was, the word do link to a type of food. Someone had indulge themself and created Schadenfreude Pie. Seriously!!!! Read all about it here. I am going to try it soon!!!

Hehehehe, now you can give me another word, and I will link it to food. :P

Fantastic Fabulous February 2008, Sakit Perut & Coach Handbag

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

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

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

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?

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!
