Kesian my friend sorang ni.. 2 weeks ago her parents was supposed to fly for umrah, but got stuck due to visa problem.. also she had a hell of a week, being ill but cant take leave coz trying to tie up her work before she go for the study leave (last week) for an exam that was due last saturday.. not to mention preparing for her wedding in june..

aleh2.. i guess everything was taking it's toll on her.. she had some major headache & found a lump (ie bengkak) on top of her head (plus i guess her fever wasnt better since she first had it).. so masuk la hospital.. doc says that the lump was nothing to concern about, but they want to check her sinusitis.. eh, pulak?.. she also didnt know she has any sinus problems, a minor one maybe, but no real sinus problem.. anyway, she's been in hospital pantai indah since last thursday & going for the operation this morning..

went to see her yesterday.. and i didnt even know where is this hospital pantai indah.. ;p nasib baik ler jumpa.. hehe.. her parents & siblings was there, as well a bunch of relative on their way out.. good thing that her parents are here instead of in Mekah too.. ada hikmah rupanya diorg tak dapat pergi..

oh ya, the exam will have to be postponed to september instead..

Auww.. my ex-colleagues called me up just now (well, rather one of them wanted to ask me abt some workings, while the other just wanted to hi).. she was telling me abt how much they missed me & how the place now feels slightly emptier without me.. (or rather how i'm no longer there to bug her really.. hehe.. i used to ask her all sorts of questions coz she's pretty senior over there..) and now that another of my ex-colleague is also leaving to join me here, she was pretty much devastated.. poor lady.. ;p

and no, i did not 'pujuk' my friend tuh to follow me regardless what some might think... although i guess she finally decided to accept after she found out that i accepted the offer. But it will be good for her as she'd get a chance to become a manager here... & i get a buddy to learn the ropes here together.. :)

Overall, have not gone full swing on the work yet.. still helping out here & there, rather than starting on my actual job.. so can't comment much on that.. of course, the nature of this job requires me to go back to basics.. erk, left those for so long, can barely remember them.. hehe..

the only other thing that bothers me (& just abt every other person who drives) abt here is the parking.. at the moment, i'm coming in pretty early & going back, i guess you can call it normal hours.. hehe.. this means, my sleeping & mealtime is totally screwed up .. i'd be having breakfast wayy early, then lunch at 12 (before lunch hour was 12.30, which i dont always go on time anyway..).. so then i'd get so darn sleepy & hungrier in between meal times.. aiyo, how la to conform to my diet like this..? and i so need to, esp since in may timeframe, got lots of kenduris to go to :(

Last quarter, the ex-boss gave our team a set of voucher each to dine at any of the restaurants in KL Hilton. I have been putting it off long enough & decided to use it before it expires next month.. One of the guys tried the Sudu Restaurant, but he wasnt too impressed by it. Guess he thought that for such value, the food could have been better. But a posh places like this, you're usually paying more for the ambiance/name/etc rather than the food.. right?

Someone suggested that i try either the Chinese or Japanese Restaurant.. Luckily both me & my date had a preference for japanese food for now & decided to go for the Jampagne buffet at Iketeru Restaurant last weekend.

The buffet was from 12-2.30pm for abt RM98++/pax (drinks not included). there's abt 100 dishes to pick from.. and you can order & repeat order as many as u like, max of 5 dish at a time.. within the hour given of course.. there's so many that we wanted to try.. hehe.. besides 2++ hrs was not long enough for a buffet spread.. especially with the both of us chatting non-stop through out the meal.. hehe.. the restaurant itself was quite impressive.. nice ambiance, cosy layout, attentive service and the food's pretty good.. hehe.. my date was totally in love their wasabi, apparently it has more 'kick' than most places he's been to..

overall verdict, i wouldnt mind doing it again.. good food, great place, cool company.. :)

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question......

"What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking.

"Do you really want to know?"

Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."


She began to expound... As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"


The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.


She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.


She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man."

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.

I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."

When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.

He said, "You're asking a lot."

She replied, "I'm worth a lot."


Send this to every woman who's worth a lot and every man who needs to know that.

Hmm... i havent updated this blog for so long.. almost forgot that i have one.. haha.. the last few month have been such a whirlwind of activities, so didnt have the time to blog, nor check out other people's blog, much.. hehe..

Anyway, to those who still havent heard the news, i have left the present company & moved on to a new one.. I now have joined the steps of my ex-unimates & joined the oil&gas industry, altho as a rival instead.. hehe.. :)

How & why? I guess it was just time.. plus if i stayed any longer that the old place, i think i would have died of burn-out.. ;p life wasnt easy there.. not that it's any easier here (although that's what i'm hoping for..), but it will be a fresh start for me.. plus, i got a better offer here & hopefully a better future.. will see how it goes.. but wish me luck, kay..

haha.. guess what...? just met up with one of my ex-colleague yesterday.. he laughingly told me this story that's being going around since i left.. apparently when i told then i'm leaving for "personal reasons", which btw, i meant that i am 'personally fed-up with the people & getting burn-out there..'.. they came up with some story that i had some kinda of an affair with a married man & when it didnt work out, i decided to leave..

huh? me? get real.... he's just one of my lunch-buddies & the gang does include another single girl (which i've also heard that she's being subjected to the same speculation..).. & few other guys, whom rarely join us since these guys spend most of their time travelling.. aiyoo.. grow up la.. just because there are some people who do it, doesnt mean everyone else are.. there are man & woman out there who can be matured enough to be "just friends" you know.. besides, my friend tuh, never stops talking abt his wife & kids.. plus he, being "big brother" to me & the other girl, forever trying to 'menyibuk' abt our love life anyway & bugging us to get married asap.. so yeah right, we are "having an affair" with him.. & meeting up with his wife & kids during weekends at that.. very the interesting drama, huh... hehe.. besides, he has such a gorgeous wife that even his wife is not worried that he'd stray.. ahaks..

Anyway, gotta start with my training for now.. later...

Suppose you require a new sofa. Your old one is most uncomfortable. You have to carefully arrange the cushions just to sit down for just a few moments. Should you keep the current piece of furniture until you have a replacement - or should you throw it out? That, more or less makes a metaphor for your current dilemma. You may be far better off with nothing to sit on than with the wrong sort of seat. The latter will encourage you to put up with a poor situation for longer than you should.

Apart from this being a zodiac reading thingy & how u should not believe in it yadda yadda yadda..., it does express exactly what's in my mind right now.. if i follow what my heart says, i'd probably "throw the old sofa" today regardless when i'll get the new one.. but practicality has been drummed into my head since forever, which means that i'll put up with the old one til i get the replacement.. but i so dont want to.. :( at times like this i wished that i'm much more of a risk taker but can't shush away that little voice in my head telling me that i should not be burning my bridges unless i'm sure i can get to the other side safely.. *sigh*

Hmm..havent written in a long while.. dunno where to start already.. hehe..

OK, let start with the raya stories.. raya was a full house this year.. Abang decided to raya in penang this year, plus both his younger brother/sister... of course, after raya prayers, some salam2 & photo sessions, they left to go beraya with their dad & their dad's side..

Muah had to do some work during the hols tho :(.. altho, time raya, every gets pushed aside la... but of course.. :D had our yearly raya rounds to my mum's aunt/uncles houses on the 1st day, but came 2nd raya, so lazy to go anywhere.. with the rainy season an all.. hehe.. even tho we left for KL on wed, decided not to stop by our 'kampung', instead went straight back home.. did go for a few rounds of beraya with my parents here in kl, but otherwise, stayed home or went shopping instead.. so-the anti-social this year.. ahaks..

I didnt really have time to make anything for raya, but the 1batch of biscuits i made, ada org minat weh..akak tuh siap minta resepi lagi.. hehe.. so can make more la in future.. ahaks.. there's a few stuff i wanted to try out, but didnt have a chance.. plus who's gonna finish it up? ;p

The thing was, since came back from raya.. i think i've been working like 14-15hrs a day.. urgh..including the team building thingy we had last week.. beraya ngan org pun belum ni..
:( hopefully i'm able to take the day off tomorrow.. wish me luck! anyway, got 2 open house to go to this weekend plus the company annual dinner on sunday..

I know it's still a few more days to go, but might as well la.. just got in hometown this morning.. my head is wayyy spinning by now..only had like 2 hrs of sleep last nite, before i had to wake up for sahur & leave the house to catch my flight at 7am.. well, i'd say hopefully i'll get an uninterrupted hols, but seeing i havent finished my work really, (which by the way, so not in the mood to do), cant blame them, right.. :( so must finish it tomorrow, a must..

anyway, got another problem to think over this raya.. aiyoo..


To all those folks out there, if i had done any wrongs to you, intentionally or not, i sincerely ask for your forgiveness, from the bottom of my heart.. Drive carefully & dont forget to invite me to your Open Houses.. hehe..
Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin.. !


P/S: To Mdm.Neighbour.. congrats on your new addition.. beraya with baby girl la tahun ni ek.. :) will go visit once u come back from hometown after pantang, i assume ..

It’s easy to choose between right and wrong. It’s choosing either the greater between two goods and the lesser between two evils that gives a greater challenge. And that is how life is.

MsBestFriend is now officially MrsBF....she has finally left the "singleton" world and joined the "married couples" group...

I wish you all the happiness in the world, girl! Take good care of each other now.. ;D

Hehe.. been so long since i've updated anything.. too much to think about, too busy to do anything abt it, too depressed abt too many things.. ahaks..

Erk.. Ms.BestFriend is getting married next week.. Hmm.. now have to share her with Mr.BF.. :( Well, he 'd better be good to her..which he is, so far.. so need to go shop for wedding gift this weekend.. any ideas huh?

mua? although not quite ready to follow the cliche of being a single-with-a-cat type person (and no plans of getting a cat anytime soon.. hehe).., but so do not feel like "melayan" guys with requests such as "wants a girl who wears baju kurung/kain all the time" .. yeah..yeah.. this girl loves her jeans okay? so dont hold your breath just yet..

Will have to update abt my trip to Sabah later.. a quick quiz for the weekend..Have a good one people!

You are a Brainy Girl!

Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books. You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more. For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests. A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!

"When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun, then you grow up and learn to be cautious; you could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?"

-Carrie Bradshaw From Sex and the City

Argghh.. the most frustrating thing abt current work situation is that i'm working blindly.. heck, dunno la what i'm doing.. can la, get the blind to lead the blind.. haha.. erghh... cant take the pressure weh..!! and the workload..*sigh*.. isnt there a "simpler" job that i can do instead?


been listening to this anyway.. even if not related to the topic..hehe

Artist: Lifehouse
Song: Blind

Lyric:
I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go

After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go

How can u say that U “know” I kinda have a lot on my plate which i MUST complete by today, so why dont I “prioritise” my work, in order to get it done when it's your work that i'm trying to salvage on top of my own work?? … aiiyyyyooooooo… ada yg nak kena lempang ni…

Oh no...I’ve already got some major ulcers.. totally dried lips (which somehow my lipbalm not having any affects)..and jerawat – arghh!! getting break outs merata2.. this job is totally not good for my body.. or mind for that matter.. :(

Errkk.. tell me why again did i take up this field of job? ntah ler.. ;p still trying to figure that out.. hehe..

These days, i'm stuck in the office till late.. trying to understand what exactly i'm doing.. the one i'm replacing has left & my replacement have yet to come.. great planning huh? typical!

okla.. i'm just abt 4 weeks-old into this new job of mine & heck, i'm still lost.. i guess that's expected, right? but still, doesnt help that there's load of datelines to meet.. i think i shud go home now.. cant think no more.. i'll figure out later what to say in the meeting tomorrow..that is if i can answer at all.. hehe..

I'm stressed...

I'm tired...

I wanna go home..

uwaa...!! :(

Life is full of people who will make you laugh, cry, smile until your face hurts, and so happy that you think you’ll burst. But the ones who leave their footprints on your soul are the ones that keep your life
going.

Hmm...was just checking my friendster earlier.. surprise, surprise... my a-level junior, Miss.Junior is in my ‘new friend requests’.. eh, I thot she didn’t like me? Well, you know, with Mr.JealousWife issue & other stuff (wayyy too long a story to tell and not something i'd want to tell here..), we were not exactly the best of friends when we were at school..

Plus I’m a nobody mah (in her books that is.. ahaks).. not some high flying achiever nor related/friends with any big-shots, doing the name-dropping thingy.. i couldn't care less about such stuff then... or ever, really... hehe..

Come to think of it, I have had no contact with any of my juniors at all since I left the school.. was actually hoping to stay that way really.. hehe.. terrible huh? no wonder I have so many “enemies”.. but I did promise myself, not to associate myself with ppl who don’t like me..or at least to minimize the contact.. ahaks.. it's easier on the mind.. and heart..

I think I have heard
An unspoken word.

I seem to hear
Something so clear.

It is in your eyes
And in your smile.

Unspoken, yet there
All the while.

Although sometimes i think i'm just "hearing" the unspoken words because i so wanted it to be said.. ;p
