Happy DeepaRaya everyone!

i know it's kinda early, but i'll be away from my pc for THE WEEKEND!!! YEAY!!!!!!! holiday ma..... in KL.... ahhahaha.... so...

HAPPY DEEPA-RAYA to all my Hindu and Muslim friends!!!!
hope u don't mind me dropping by your house in the evening after work?.. (hehehe... i know la i thick face!)..
hahahah just joking... will call before i come ok? ;)

was packing last night for my trip... and i don't know what to bring!!!! i nearly packed my whole wardrobe!! i always do this.. and most of the time what i bring to KL with me, i only use half!!!! waaa tired man!! carrying the luggage!! but then.. really la.. i don't know where i'll be going, so i don't know what to bring to wear.. so basically it's all "just in case" basis..... sigh.. i really should learn to pack properly...
so will be heading straight home to pack the car (my mum knowingly, had packages for us - me and dad; to pack the car and she happily just brought one bag of luggage with her... sometimes she can be so smart), fill patrol AND start the journey to KL... my dad will have to take the wheel first... cause i'll be too tired to drive AND because he won't know how to get to my godma's place if he took the second half of the journey... so yea.. will be sleeping in the car while my dad drives..... :D
got to remember to take my camera, batt charger, hp charger..... hope to meet my baby too tonight.... but he's sort of in a delima with his Java project... is there anyone who can help come up with a system to be handed in on sat or on the 7th of Nov? he needs HELP!!! even I can't help him.. too tough la... sigh... am so worried bout him....

moving...moving... MOVED!

yea.. my break was at 8am!! yea.. u start at 6am and u have your "lunch" break at 8... amazing isn't it? well when u work here, lots of amazing things happen to u.... *rolls the eye*
so anyway, break was at 8 so i started to pack to make the move to my new cubicle... so nice of Wilson (a colleague who has the same break time, Thanks Wilson! ) to help me push the pc on my chair from one corner to the other corner..... he also helped me set up the pc (not that i don't know how to set up a computer - i know! and have done it a few times) and we went for break together, first time having break with him... at least i got to know another of my colleague...
so now... i'm in my new cubicle..... damn very the small man!!! i turn here i turn there, sure to hit the table.... then even with a VERY few things, it looks like my cubicle is full!!! yea.. that small!!! just imagine, i got a cup, few pieces of paper on the table, the phone, the pc, my "dog tag", water bottle and that's it... it looks full!!!! OMG!!! and i thought i could start to "decorate" it.. looks like i can't! but i have to have something here to differentiate my place from others.... hmmm.... put my baby's pic? hmm.... or a plant?....... or..... hmm......
been here for an hr and it's so quiet!! so much quieter than the previous place.. this end, everyones "hiding" in their cubicle.. doing their own work, before, everyone's walking around, talking loudly, laughing.... hmm.. guess i'll be missing that part... the friendliness and casual atmosphere... here.. it's all... serious.... so.. hmm.. got to start to get used to this place again.....

move

just found out that me and another colleague have to move to another cubicle... it's the second move in my 2 months of working... i guess this will be the last as the move to the other end of the office is where the "seniors" are placed (me, senior? yea right) so that the place that is near the super-seniors (waa Jess and Satya, i'm calling u super-seniors!) will be for newbies for training until they are comfortable with the job, and when that happens, they too will be moved to the other end of the office like me.
will i like the new place? i wouldn't know cause i have made friends with the super-seniors and we are quite comfortable with each other. but then it's good to make new friends of the same department who just sits at the opposite ends on the huge office.
i saw the new cubicle, the table is of wooden colour and it's new.... cause it seems that part of the office, renovation was made, tht's why the cubicles are different from the one i am now at. Guess this time, i can officially "decorate" my cubicle... hahahah.....

of feeling good and not so good...

not really a holiday, but a weekend in KL... yes!!! this... COMING... WEEKEND!!!! muahahahaha.... can't wait!!
there's this thing at work, where we (there's 4 of us in a cubicle) noticed that there's this particular lady who will walk pass us many many times.. to go where.. i dunno la... so, for our own entertainment (pathetic uh?) we decided to count the number of times this lady pass us... we started yesterday... and we counted and it came up to 6 times! 1 for when she came to work, 1 for lunch.. and the remainder 4 times? i wouldn't know... toilet ka, go see friend ka... whatever, i dunno... and not to say she's a manager or something where u got to go around meeting ppl, she's just like one of us.. answering calls... which doesn't need u to go walking around the office... hmmm.... (the wonders of a routine job)
so my cousin got a new job.. starting next week.... AND she lost 5 kgs.... isn't that good news or what! am so happy for her!!! wooohoooo *clap clap clap*
talking bout new jobs... well... it's obvious that i can't stay in this current job, like forever... i AM looking for other jobs, have been on phone-interviews but no one has been calling me back... it's either they are not hiring OR i'm not shortlisted... hmmm.. someone was telling me that it's ok to call them back to find out bout the status of my application.... hmmm.. got to try calling them back...
AND... talking bout loosing weight... i KNOW i should be DOING SOMETHING bout it... but everytime i come back from work... i'm tired... (again.. the wonders of a routine 10 HOUR job). i guess other reasons are IF i start to do something, i'm gonna do it alone.... unlike some friends at work who goes to the gym, they have their other halfs and good friends to go with... and another reason, i stay on the mainland.. what the hell to do here? other than swimming?... oh HECK... i'm just finding excuses for NOT doing anything....
*i need determination!!!!*
what would u do when u come to a crossroad.... where u need to make a decision to choose one out of two AND the two choices u have is very important to u?
ok.. its like this... just imagine...
1) u have been playing PC games since Form4 or 5..... u are passionate about it, u have joined tournaments AND stayed up during the weekends just to play... and for u 10 hrs for RM6 is CHEAP for u......
and...
2) u met your gf after Form6 (which means after 3 years of gaming) got to know her well and have been with her for nearly 5 years, will do practically anything for her.....
so the questions is, what would u choose... *note: both events are on the SAME weekend
a) attend the WCG Finals in Singapore? (this World Cyber Games tournament is on PC games and it brings together players from all over the globe and your idols will be playing... AND this year's finals will be in SINGAPORE where it's usually in Denmark or Korea or US or other countries.. AND u've been waiting all your gaming life to WATCH the professionals play! at THE FINALS!!!)
b) attend your gf's degree graduation.....
both are once-in-a-life-time events.....so tell me... what will YOU do?

back to 8am

so i'm back to the 8am shift... happy or not? i dunno... happy that i don't have to get up soooo early... but sad that i'll be going home late.... next week it'll be at 7am.... and then after that work will start at 5am!!!!!
crazy right?????
i think i'd prefer the earlier shift as i have more time during the day to do stuff (if i have the mood to do stuff.. hhahahaha)
crap.... T...I......R........e.........d..........

anyone for Teow Chew food?

after Mass yesterday, dad and i was looking for dinner, didn't know where to go... then dad said that there was this new place that sells Teow Chew food... i was thinking.. urrgghh... sure tasteless one.... (that's my impression la on Teow Chew food....)


but anyway, he said that he used to go there in the mornings for Dim Sum.. didn't know they had Dim Sum there.... but in the night, it was more to rice and dishes.. the place looks nice and clean (guess it's like that for new places) and if u made a reservation, they'll set-up the table for u....

and the menu, well, eventhough they had quite a number of varieties, it didn't cater for the non-chinese-reading customers so luckily there was a waitress who could speak english who explained to us what they had.... so taking the safe route, we had the usual Lemon Chicken, some fish thingy and Sambal KangKung....

err.. fyi...this place is situated just a few doors down from Cher&Ed's Yam Rice shop in Chai Leng Park.

pics of macaroni

managed to take a pic of the macaroni i was talking about in my last post before it was all gone... hehehehe.....

see what i tell u... it's soooo ORANGE!

macaroni

macaroni... it's a dish where the Reutenses LOVE... it goes back to my grandfathers time and he loved it, came down to my dad's time, he love it too (together with his brothers and sisters) then it came down to me and my cousins.. and we love it!!! the recipie for it was also circulated around but only among family members... nyeh nyeh nyeh...
we eat this for all occasions.. u can eat it as a snack, for dinner, birthday parties, home wedding receptions, funerals, anniversaries and whatever occasion that u have over at your hse.... even the guests at those occasions would go "wow... nice... can i have the recipie?"... NOT!!!! hahahah even if we do give it to them, somehow they can't make it as nice as we do.....
oohh oohh... macaroni is also a "no-food-at-home" and "don't-know-what-to-cook-today" type of food.... it's yummy and filling and fast to cook!!! gosh!!! i better start learning to cook this if not, it'll be lost!!!!
i used to have lots of parties in my hse when i was younger, for my 10th bday, 12th bday, 16 bday, 18th bday... sure to have macaroni one... and my friends would at first be sceptical bout it, cause it looked like noodles but doesn't look like noodles and it's ORANGE in colour and has some yellow yucky sticky thingy in it (cheese la oi)... but after "obliging" to the host (that would be my mother) they tried it, and LOVED it!!! some even took second helpings!! hahahah even in school the next monday, they would comment to me that the macaroni was nice and asked if i brought some to school!!! hahhahaha......
when my grandparents were still alive, i'd go down to Green Lane (that's in Penang) during the weekends for my piano lesson with my grandmother and we'll sometimes have macaroni.... no other dishes, only macaroni and the whole family would eat it... somehow i ate abit too much of it that i became "jelak" of it... ever since my grandma passed away and after a few months after that my grandfather passed away, we seldom cook macaroni..... i guess it reminded us of the good ol days..... but i know that each of our families (my dad's brothers and sisters families) would cook macaroni... somehow sometime... and i'm sure my grandparents will be remembered then.
so my mum thought of cooking macaroni last night.... she made a big pot as she doesn't believe in opening the pasta packet and using only half of it, once the packet is open, use the whole damn thing... and when this happen... u eat la... for dinner, breakfast (for me at work), lunch and dinner again! hahahha until u feel jelak and not cook macaroni for the next few months... hahahaha
if u are wondering how this macaroni is like, well it is cooked together with tomato sauce, tomato soup and add the cheese to it... no separate separate business!!! it goes well with mixed salad (where the salad is already mixed with salad cream), roast chicken, creamy soup, extra ketchup... thought i haven't tried it with chicken curry!! hahahahha.... hmmm... *thinks*
so yea.. MACARONI... da BEST!!!! ask my friends and see? they sure tell u!!!!

*blur*

hahahha... many times i came to this page (wanting) to post something up... but i couldn't come up with anything.. it made me realise how boring or how uneventfull my life is now... but then again, i can't complain, it's my fault that i have a boring life (for the time being...hopefully) y? cause i'm sssooooooo lazy to get stuff done or do something... working 10 hrs a day is no joke man.... (for me la that is)

yesterday, our beloved PM's wife was layed to rest, when i got into the car to go home, i found out that all the radio stations were mourning, they were playing soulful instrumentals, even the chinese radio station are playing that... well it's a good thing, to respect and honour. Even on TV, everyone was in black and they were showing her legacy, her life and her achievements. the public was also interviewed telling the camera how they are saddened by the news and that they felt that the country has lost someone who has done so much for the less fortunate and they also hope and wished that Pak Lah would have the strength to get one with his life, his days and to keep on serving our country as a PM....

here's something interesting i found in other ppl's blog.. from Lainie and KinkyBlueFairy (yea i got new hobby, reading blogs) and it's a chat program where it seems u can talk to "GOD"! hahahah.... go here to talk to god... but just a lil hint, chat with proper sentences/questions/phrases to get proper answers, if u say something like "yes ah..." or "really meh.." or "dun bluff"... u won't get a response or u'll get a reply that has got nothing to do with what u were saying... it's quite funny but my friends are sort of insulted of the whole thing (using GODs name in vain) and always trying to find faults in the chat (techy friends)... so it's no fun chatting with "god" with them.... hahaha...

woah... i just realised.. i have worked 4 weekends in a row!!! hahahah 2 sundays and 2 on saturday... nyeh nyeh nyeh... at least now i can get "proper" christmas presents this year!! hahahah

spoke to my baby last night, looks like he has plans after his exam!!! (unfortunately i'm not in it).. he got RAYA-DOTA tournament to organize in Alor Setar, he wants to go to Singapore for the WCG Finals (that's 2 different links) .... and unfortunately he has an extra paper to do in the "summer semester" so he'll still be in KL till February.... sigh..... at least i'm gonna see him next weekend... long distance relationship sucks man.. i can't believe it's been nearly 5 years of that....

AND....

today is FRIDAY!!!

sigh... but tomorrow still got work... shucks!!! :(

job

i wrote a post about jobs... i changed my mind about it and i deleted it because i figured that i'm just in the working force for nearly 2 months and it's like who am i to "discuss" about this... i decided that i just have to suck it all in, gain the experience and just try to do my best..
hmm...... working life... its...getting... into... my......... s..y..s..t..e..m..........

my condolences

just heard today that our beloved PM's wife has passed away.... she was a very helpful and nice lady... didn't know much about her but whatever i heard, it was all good... so it was 1/2 a shock to hear that she had passed away.... well, now i hope our PM will have the strength to continue to do his work and i wish him well and that everything will be ok...



to our PM.... my CONDOLENCES....
i know that the BIG MAN up there (pointing up) will take good care of your beloved wife....

4 am!

yes.. that is the time i will have to get up for work which starts at 5am!! when is this starting? i wouldn't know.... and when it does.... grrr.... lets see if i can tahan... though work will end at 3pm.. so... got most of the day to be free....
in other news (cheh wah.. like newspapers only)....
i have this thing in my blog that tells me how many ppl visits my site (with statistics all...), from where, how and things like that, it's great to know that there's an average of 20 ppl reading my blog each day but the thing is, i do not know who u are! hahahha..... i know who are my regulars but the ones overseas? well.. maybe they're just blog hopping... *shrugs*
anyway... my graduation!!! yeay!! can't wait for it!! was wondering if the hotel (ISTANA HOTEL babehh!!!... i've been saying "babeh" too many times right?) where the convocation will be held have special rates for those who are graduating... it's so hard to find out.. i called the hotel itself, they said try the college, i tried my college, they asked me to call the branch in PJ, i called the branch in PJ they said that they only made reservation for the staff and not for the students... so... hmm.... looks like we gotta find a cheaper/budget hotel which is close by... i'm sure there's alot... but i'm not too sure bout the price... hmm.....
a best friend of mine has come up with a proposal.. a proposal which both of us planned to do long long time ago.... "all girls holiday"... yeah!!! just the girls, no boys allowed!! hahaha.. well she has given me a date and a place... so i'm hoping that this plan will stay, cause we used to make so many plans and none of them turned into reality (know kan, last time i not working...) ... and no.. we are not gay.... :P
now damn sleepy wei......
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

wonder if i have time to go round KL, do abit of shopping... hmm..... *thinking*.....

Portugese style babeh!!!!!!! YUMMERSSS.......
oohh and CONGRATULATIONS to me cousin cher!!!! for her new job.. it's confirmed and she'll be starting on the 7th!!! feeeeweeett!!!!!! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*

ahhh the joys of a sunday morning

what are the joys? the joy of getting up WHENEVER u like!!! that's the joy i'm talking about...
didn't have to work this sunday cause i worked on saturday, i'd also went to church saturday evening so that.. i could.... sleep in!!!!!
gosh! it was so nice, opening my eyes looking at the time and just going back to sleep because it was still early! hahahahha.... i could only do that till 11.30am... i couldn't sleep anymore... looks like i lost my sleeping-late ability... but i guess it's for the good.....
so what did i do on sunday... nothing much actually!! hahahah..... only went to the supermarket in the evening to get some stuff for my breakfast today.... other than that.... nothing... lovely eh?
at night i was watching Smallville, it's quite exciting actually... and i don't know why i'm happy when Lana's bf from Paris came back to stay with her in Smallville.... i guess i've given up hope for her and Clarke to be together.. like they said in last nights episode... "it's complicated"..... looks like this season it's gonna be full of surprises and action-packed!
he can fly!!!!! and he's starting to wear blue and red clothes!!!!

yes and no?

haven't been blogging.. been too busy.... took calls for an average, 150 calls a day this whole week.. damn tired man.... it's like i get up at 5am.... and by the time i get home again it'll be 5pm... 12 bloody hours... but what to do.. cannot complain, it's work....
other than work..... life isn't as interesting as before (not that it was before i started work...) haven't been out window shopping... and i don't even know if there's a sale or not!! hahahaha.... but then again, no $$$ for shopping too.... :(
been reading lots of blogs lately but somehow i can't seem to have anything to write as much as those ppl... these ppl have loads to say bout everything... for me, if u asked me about something, i think i have some stuff to say bout it, but right now... i have no idea of what i wanna blog... so i guess this time, this post is full of random stuff and crap... maybe u shouldn't be reading this..... hmm......
today is my first saturday working... usually i work on sundays (if i have to) but this is my first saturday.... it's different cause it feels like it's still the working-week.... like when i work on sunday, it still felt like a weekend but just that i was actually doing something (which is work) and it felt like "voluntary" and not "work".... does that make sense?
i was just thinking.. if these type of companies put nearly 100% towards customer satisfaction and customer service, shouldn't they have all the departments concerning customers open 7 days a week and all at the same time? i mean, it doesn't make sense when one department is open from so-and-so to so-and-so and other departments open different times... and we got to tell/explain to the customers which departments are open and which are not.... and i do get customers asking why is that so?.. how to answer la? no wonder we get loads and i mean LOADS of grouchy, rude, frustrated, loud, cussing customers..... but then again, it's complicated running a MNC where there's 1000+ of employees in each branch all over the world.... who am i to say, to suggest, to voice opinions anyway...... *shrugs*
i know that piracy is BAD and WRONG but knowing what happens in a country that has no piracy is somewhat pittyful... cause whatever they want they have to...
1- call the company
2- make orders
3- make payments by credit card (if not, go to the bank and deposit to the company's bank account)
AND
4- wait for days for the product to be delivered
...just for something that costs could cost for as lil as 66 bucks....
unlike us...
1- just go to the shop and just buy it
2- go back home
3- use it immediately
...and all this can be done in 1 day..... or maybe just in 1 hr...
but then again, it's the ORIGINALITY and QUALITY that we are looking for in purchasing original products... so GO ORI!!!!!! even if it takes u some time and energy.... it's the end result that u're looking for... QUALITY!
DO NOT SUPPORT PIRACY!
and i MEAN IT!
oh my.... said that i had nothing much to say... i actually do!! HAHAHAHA and also i CONTRADICT myself!!! am so weird!!!

what is WEIRD?

had a conversation with one of my oldest friend.... a proper conversation, of gossips, dreams, future plans, friendships... etc and i felt that the relationship or friendship that i have with this person is weird.....
it's weird because we both had a past, a weird past.. where i don't think anyone had ever had a past like that and if they do, they wouldn't be talking to each other EVER again, but there i was, hanging out at a mamak with this person..... it's weird.... the situation... not that it bothers me, but i look at it from afar, and i think it's weird... that person doesn't think so, never thought about it, but even when i mention that it was weird, that person still didn't think so.....
whenever it comes to the subject of this person, a question mark appears on my head.... believe or not to believe.... but with the "experiences" i have, i choose the way of..... "whatever" .... if it's true... fine... if not... fine... cause i don't want to waste my energy on guessing if i'm being lied to or not.... got no time for that....
but whatever it is, it was good to catch up... don't know if we'll meet again, cause it's always the case that whenever we meet, we'll only meet bout 7 months later... we may meet soon again... or... maybe not.....
so the questions is, is weird unique and different? when someones dressing is weird, can it also be called unique and different? when someones name is weird, can it also be called unique and different?(or stuff like that....) is weird a bad thing? or is it a good thing? is it acceptable? would other ppl understand? accept it? or only the person that is experiencing it understands it?
as for me, the relationship/friendship i have with this person is weird.... explain? i can't, i don't even know what i mean! hahah... i can't seem to find words to explain.. all i have... is.... WEIRD.....

Tuesday, October 11, 2005

hmmm...

ok la.. the 6am shift isn't that bad... though i had to take a short nap when i get back.... too sleepy man.. eyes cannot open....
today was the most hectic day (so far), i took 160 calls and it's only a tuesday and there's still 3 more days of this... it's promotion week so it's expected to get calls non-stop.... sigh....
other than that....
it's weird that some how some way u forget a person... forget the past with that person and out of no where... u suddenly meet that person and everything comes back.. cause the past was filled mostly with tears, it's hard to not feel the pain again but then, u also feel like just leaving the past behind and start anew... (if that's even possible)... but i'm just staying where i am, trying not to be too emotional and if that person dissapears again, whatever, if that person insist of being friends again, whatever..... i got a new life now - a new job with new friends, i do not need this....
so it's 6am shift now.... it feels weird getting out of the hse at 5.30 am when that's usually the time i get back from "a night" out... hahahah..... and driving on the bridge at 5.45 am on the opposite direction of which i usually drive on the bridge at that time... it's weird... hahahah.... it is....

Monday, October 10, 2005

so far so good

well... it's just about 9am.. and i'm still hanging on the 6am shift.... eyes open, was abit hard staying awake and alert during the first 30 mins... but am ok now...
gotta see how i am around 1pm... after lunch.... and ohhh btw.. my "lunch" is at 10 am!!!!!
*uh?*

Sunday, October 09, 2005

6 AM!!!!

OMG OMG OMFG!!!!

my work starts at 6 IN THE F***ING MORNING tomorrow!!!!!!! damn!!!!
which means, i got to get up at 5am which means i got to sleep at 9 PM.....!!!! aarrgghhhh!!!!!!!

my first thought of blogging

the first time i heard bout blogging and was introduced to it by my wonderful Ah Ma Dugong.... i thought.. hey! here's someplace i could say whatever i want to say, let ppl read how i am "actually" feeling and get away with it....
so i started... i created a blog, and wrote what i felt.... during that time, i was curious on what blogging is all about.. i read other ppl's blog and found out that there was a trend to try to get as many ppl as u can to read your blog.. hence the counters, PPS and blog directories... there's nothing against that, in fact i am also members to all those....
then being a Malaysian, ppl talk behind your back.... so having a blog and KNOWING ppl YOU KNOW reads it, u tend to "choose" what u say and hope that they won't "comment" on it....
"waaa.. she like that ah..."
"OMG what's into her...."
"she's such a slut!! i didn't know she's like that"
...etc etc etc... (not that i get THOSE comments...)
and after all that gossiping and back stabbing, u wouldn't know if they still look at u the same way as how they looked at u before reading your blog...
but it's normal to have a blog and have the "want" for ppl to read it.. whether ppl u know or don't know... i have that urge too... but with that, u have to make some sacrifice... sacrifice to choose what u write, say and also choose the pics u put up cause the other ppl in that pic might not like to have their pics on the Internet.... so the bottom line is that, blogging has its limits...
i respect those who manage to have a blog, write everything they wish to say, have loads of ppl visiting their sight AND remain anonymous.....
i guess if i want to get there i got to create a new account, a new nickname and have everthing changed to codes or nicknames... but being a dugong, after a while i'll sure to forget whose nicknames go to who and forget what those codes mean... hahahahah.....
but until now, i think i'm still comfortable with what i can write and what i cannot write.. as i have "no life"... nothing interesting happens.... so..... so far so good... but i still do have that lil lil secrets that only me knows and it would be interesting to have strangers know bout it and not ppl i know know it... u know what i mean? ;)

while i was waiting for my tom yam bee hoon, some lady ordered the same thing and when she went to her seat, it seems they had a bowl ready at the corner, i'm thinking that it was someone elses wrong order so they had to take it back.... they wanted to give THAT bowl to the lady that JUST made the order few minutes ago..... they ACTUALLY gave that bowl to her right after she sat in her place... BIG MISTAKE man!!!!!!
i mean if u want to cheat your customers.... be smart la...... but luckily the lady knew something was wrong and sent that same bowl back.... i heard the lady complaining to the stall owner something bout it was cold and that how can they cook it soo fast.... so.... yes we do have to wait for our food when we order it and we understand that it can't take such a short time to prepare it... it's either 5 minutes to 10 minutes minimum later than that, u must be busy, earlier than that, u had that order given back to u from the PREVIOUS customer.....
FIVE
i realised my dad loves watching TV1... the Malay shows, local musicals and also the news.... how weird can he be? i know there's nothing wrong in watching it but we RARELY turn to that channel... but since mum isn't around.... he watches TV1..... hmmmmm... *confused*

Daniel sings

yea.. i heard Daniel's "Mimpi" on Fly.fm on my way to work.. was hoping to hear the off notes he sang in the Malaysian Idol Finals.. but there was none... the wonders of studio recording....
and this version of the song.... well abit different from the one at the finals.. towards the end there was no... "mimpi....mimpi....mimpi....." it was just a simgle mimpi.... but it was ok la..... i like the song though... but wonder how it would be like if Jac were to sing it... hmmm.... *thinks*
gemilang vs mimpi
who will win?

cravings

not craving for food... (that also could be it.... hungry d...)
well am craving for a good conversation... not a conversation where u have it with colleagues and have to stop when a call comes in... or a conversation during meals where u have food in your mouth.... and DEFINATELY NOT conversations with customers where u can't say anything other than the script that we got to follow.... i'm craving for a good conversation where time isn't a factor and in a nice peacefull place..... WITH conversational ppl.... (maybe i'm asking for too much.... hmm...)
since i started to work... 10 hrs a day, it's hard to meet up with friends AND have the energy to stay up and stay alert. the driving back home isn't a problem but the traffic is.... i noticed that ppl just drive slow for fun... they don't care which lane they are in and it seems fun to them to see a long line behind them.... ass holes!!!! how can u drive 65 km/hr on the fast lane on the highway where the limit is 90 km/hr???? fine, drive safe.. but not SLOW!!!! damn it...
but that isn't the topic of todays post.... it's about the crave of having good company for good conversation.... i don't know if anyone else crave that... i know it's a weird craving..... i guess this happens to ppl who works..... they got to choose between spending their free time for themselves or with friends and maybe in some case with their boyfriends/girlfriends... but i only have the first two.... myself or friends.... but what if u choose friends... would your friends choose friends too? it wouldn't work isn't it if they don't choose friends ( and not choose u....)
just for the record... i'm not sad or mad or anything.. it's just a thought.. a thought that came so clear that i haven't been spending much time with friends... especially with those i promised i'd spend some time.... but there's another side to it... do they also want to spend time with me? that is the question....

my lovely FLUFFY

as promised, pics of my wonderful dog... the dog i loved most

FLUFFY!!!!
("Fluff" name of dog + "Fi" my short name)

it was "supposed" to be FLUF-FI but that didn't look nice,
so we changed it to FLUFFY... sounds the same anyway, right? :)

on the car (cross-legged mind u!!)

red ribbon on her back...

on the dining table

(no we do not eat on that table.....)

on the lazy chair...

see what i told u? i told u she would let us do ANYTHING to her... and she wouldn't care a bit!! hahahahha.. she's sooo cute!!!! miss her lots.... *sob sob*

ok la.. not sien now

so the person that ticked me off and i had a short chat and apologies were exchanged.... so i guess everything is ok now.....
it's been a weird week.... calls has been so so... had a meeting yesterday and it was said that next week would be a high-call-rate week where we would get 180 to 200 calls per day per person for bout 7 days.... and that's tiring man.... even now 120 calls.. considered... sigh.. tiring.. what more 200 calls!!! but then... it might not happen.. it's only estimation.. well... who knows... it WOULD be 200 calls... die!!!
got a cousin's husband down from Bahrain... came on official visit... to sign some documents bout something... might see him today.... catch up on things before he goes back to Bahrain tomorrow.... but then i might not.... so.... have to give him a call first....
been missing my baby loads... haven't seen him since aug.... yes!!!! that long!!! painful man..... we've been so busy... me with new jobs and interviews and moving back home and he with his final semester, his battle with Java, assignments and exams which will be end of oct.... so both of us had no time for calls, pampering and lovin..... sigh..... just hope time will pass faster as i'll be able to see him end of this month..... got a family friend's bday in Klang.....
since the job i do is supporting Australian and N.Zealanders..... they have this thing which is day-light saving which means time is brought forward by 1 hr or so (i think) for 6 months, so that means we got to get to work 1 hr EARLIER!!!!!! boooh booh boooooh........
hey.. but then, go back earlier too!!! hahahah...... but sure to be damn tired after that cause of getting up so early... so got to tahan for 6 bloody months man..... hope my black rings under my eyes will go away... if not will look like one panda......
tomorrow is Friday... don't know if i should be happy.. nothing to look forward to.... $$$ tak da... (not to say none la.. but trying to save.. u know... for... a... C.A.R.....) and it's only the 6th... got 25 more days to hang on to what's left of it.... sad aint it?
we'll see if there's anything interesting that will happen tomorrow....
i sooo have no life man!!!!

damn sien after the taking-pics-is-stupid rant.....
*so sorry la jess, your good news in between my negative posts.....
sigh.... been really moody at work... am so pissed... am so frustrated... i feel like hitting someone.. i feel like scolding and screaming at someone... i feel like distroying something.....
i always believed i am someone who is cool and calm, nothing bothers me but i admit i am sensitive at times.... i know i shouldn't be all worked up over something like this... and i shouldn't let this get me and ruin my day.....
i don't even know if the person know i'm all mad at the remark..... and i'm not sure if i should apologize to that person..... because i hate feeling this way and because of this, i screwed up abit at work.. which I SHOULDN'T.... i promised no more screw up...!!!!
uuggghhh..... i'm such a total looser......
my colleague said that if my contract is not extended, i could always find another job cause i have many offers.... YEAH RIGHT!!!!! i only had ONE and i turned that down, i went for another interview and it's been a week since the interview and haven't heard from them (don't think i'll hear from them anyway....) maybe i'm doomed to be jobless......
SIEN lo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i need to get drunk..... (i know ben..... i know u waiting...... but cannot man... cho kang la......) sigh.. i can't anyway... it was just a thought......
:(

wedding bells!

CONGRATULATIONS
on your ENGAGEMENT jess!!!!!!
i'm sooo happy for u!!!!
May u have a wonderful life with the one u love!

hahahah jess, i remember we were talking a few years back and we were wondering who would get married first !! u thought it would be me!!! ahhaha see now who's engaged!! hahahah
*so ppl... the previous post i wrote about my best friend who got engaged.... yes.. it's jessica!*

taking pictures is NOT stupid!

*rant warning*
how could anyone tell me that taking pictures is STUPID! IT IS NOT STUPID!! damn it!!!
i can't believe that someone who think who knows me, OBVIOUSLY doesn't know that i like photography and i LOVE taking pictures!!! and i know that photography is a type of ART and i know that sometimes it can be boring, repetitive and sometimes it has no meaning... but that is because YOU do not know how to appreciate art!!!!
u think that just because you look at some graphics on a computer 30 HOURS straight! is appreaciating art? PUH LEESE......... there's a reason for u to "look" at this art... it's NOT something u create, it's NOT your idea and it's definately NOT your thing... u can't draw for nuts!!! and i have PROOF of that!!!!
if u think taking pics is hell of an easy... try your hand at it.... see if your pics are as good!! i mean i admit my pics are NOT as close as those professional pics u see everywhere but i have the interest, i have the want to learn and heck at the time being i'd rather go out to take pics than go for a movie... it's to THAT extend i tell u!!!! and I AM a movie buff for goodness sake!!!!!
well for u readers out there wondering if u think the person i'm referring to will read this.. well, i'm not bothered, if that person who claims to "know" me.... that person will be reading my blog everyday and know that i have the interest of photography! and that person wouldn't be telling me that taking photographs is STUPID!!!!! doesn't that make sense??? damn it!
sigh..... i have a feeling that i might take this post out in a few days..... knowing i always regret what i say......
grrrr.......... DAMN IT!!!!
TAKING PICTURES IS NOT STUPID!!!!!!
DAMN IT!!!!!!

something new

what would u expect when u hear - Malay food + Western food in a restaurant....? well i for one, who likes malay food would think it to be a shop lot, simple decor, basic table and chairs and tv with malay programs in it.....
but would u believe if i told u that there is a restaurant that sells Malay food and Western food with the atmosphere like Eden (near Penang Road)???? well maybe one star less than Eden but the standard is there..... u're not believing me are u??!!!
ahahahahah... well.. i'm proudly to present to u.... Damiral's... (it's not Admiral's as my dad thought it was... ahhahahah... blur!!!) it's a restaurant that sells Malay food (like nasi goreng and the lot) but the main course is Western food.... there's steak, grilled/baked fish, lamb, poultry (yes poultry... not chicken.. see the standard!!!), desserts (cakes and cheese cakes), appitizers and soups! yes!!! and not only that! the waitresses are all in uniform, vest and bow... the place is air-con with dim lights, nice lamps, nice decor.... (vely lomantik...) even the table and chairs "got standard".... then there's table mats, with nicely folded napkins (like the ones u get in hotels) with salt and pepper in the middle of the table, knife and fork on the side..... am quite impressive of that place....
then comes the food!!! yeah..... it's as good as the decor!!! i had BBQ chicken.. nice portion.. with mash potatoes on the side, potato salad and fresh veg.... dad had fish and chips... huge portion (very happy knowing that it's Rm9++ only for that SIZE!)... then we had a salad... my... it's good enough for 2-3 persons.. bout RM3+ where there's coleslaw and fresh veg (tomatoes, capsicun, carrots, cucumber...etc) then i also tried the spring rolls... its the big type where they serve u with wochester-sauce-chilly-thingy hahaha.. that's quite nice too!!! and we both had milk shakes!!! hahahahah the bill came up to bout RM45.... for me its quite ok knowing the service is quite good, didn't have to wait long and the atmosphere was nice and cosy.....
so now, there's a new place to go makan in prai....YEAYNESS!!! (like how Lainie says it) ... ahahahah u want to know where.... ask me!!! hehehehe
sorry ya.. no pics.. forgot to bring camera.. didn't know my dad and i would be going to that type of place to eat...

30 days...

as u all know i started work bout a month ago... and it's been a very interesting journey for me.... there are some ups and downs but it's all an experience for me....
i've met with some interesting ppl, made some good friends out of it and also got to see long time friends whom i haven't seen since school!!! yes!!! friends from school (actually guys from BM High - bahasa and maths tuition) and also friends from college!!! ironic isn't?
i joined this place already knowing that i have fellow dugongs here and that i have their support and guidance in my first ever "proper" job..... i told myself that this isn't a fun thingy.. it's a JOB for goodness sake!!! and i got to be professional.... i CAN'T mix work with friends and i can't mix friends with work.... what happens at work, it's work related, i CANNOT bring in the emotional part of "they are also my friends"..... it's got to be different, separate.....
i'm trying my best at it.... and well.. i don't know if i achieved that... only other people will be able to tell me that.....
so here i am working.... trying to learn fast, pay attention, do my work properly and CORRECTLY.... but the 10 hr job drains my attention span, drains my brain power thus having me all screwed in the last 2 hrs of the job..... with that at the end of the day i screw my work.... my reports are screwed (not all the time though.. but it DID happen) and i hate it... i kick myself for it... i hate it that i screwed up something i KNOW how to do and yet...... sigh......
worst of all, it gives another impression (the impression of the "working Fiona") to my closes friends.... which is definately not a good one (knowing the screw-ups i made).... and what about my contract? would they extend my contract? if not would i get another job? what if i'm jobless after this?
i'm thinking i'm taking this all too seriously.... i should relax abit..... but it's my career.... i cannot have black marks in anybody's books.... and also come to think of it it's only my first month... but tak kan i can't get used to the job within a month!!! it's fucking easy job man!!!!! answering calls and transfering them to other people!!! isn't that easy or what??? so how the hell would "I" screw that up.... if i can screw something so easy as that up, what about bigger jobs, more complicated ones....??????
but the fact is, i AM trying my best and i AM NOT giving up on this job.... i won't leave just because i screwed up abit and i won't be defensive... yes i admit i screwed up and yes i got confused and maybe not fast enough in learning and doing the job.... but i'm still am gonna try and do the best i can... and i hope in the next month, i'll be better.....
sigh..... then again, it might be PMS...... being all so emotional..... aarrggghhh... will someone say something bout this???
*miss rose, am really sorry bout fri......

an outing with ONE pair of the dugongs

yesterday was cool... haven't been out with these 2 for quite sometime and today i spent it with them....

so first we filled our tummies with DIM SUM... u might think.. eleh.. only dim sum ma.... but this is not any other type of dim sum.. it's a BUFFET dim sum!!! yes!!! just pay bout RM16++ and u can eat all u want!!! ahahahah... so the 3 of us went for that...

we ate and ate and ate till i felt like puking.. but i did not!! hahahahha.... lucky.. if not, wasted only...right?! :)

then...... we went to Island Plaza to check out the new Metrojaya..... felt as if we were in KL but come to think of it, the layout of the place is still the same from the former tenant; Super Tanjung... walked around until feet starting to hurt...





then the both of them said they wanted to get me my birthday present *gleaming* so we went to Reef and was checking out the slippers.. hahahah i don't know but i'm kinda in the phase for getting slippers... heheheh.... the slippers there didn't really catch my eye.. so we went around looking for slippers at all the sport shops that was available..... but in the end, we still ended up at Reef... managed to settle for a basic simple one.... am quite happy bout it actually.. !!! hehehehhe *grinning* thanks guys!! for the slipper!! love it!!!
