SATURDAY

so on saturday, we got up a bit later than planned.... went to Pauline's place to pick up somethings and headed for brunch... since it's too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, and since we didn't really want to eat at Sunway Lagoon, we decided to have brunch. we had sort of nasi kandar type of food at Pantai Hillpark, near her place... ok la... can't complain and it's edible.. heheh

we headed towards Sunway after that.... managed to get parking at the Sunway Piramid. it seems they were having some renovation towards the Sunway Lagoon entrance, so we sort of have to walk on this zink path way that overlooks the theme park.. lovely view, but not so lovely for ppl how can't stand heights...

we got our wrists bands... i was like a small girl walking in... eyes big big looking around, looking at the place.... i've always wanted to go for so damn long, but never had the chance.... so further down, there was a huge cave/cage like place..... and there were 2 tigers in it!!! one was sleeping at a corner and once was walking around. managed to get a shot of it.... the tiger was lovely!! had a nice coat of fur... it was huge.... nice looking one... doesn't look sick or skinny or dirty... good upkeep...

we got a locker to keep our things and we headed towards the Dry Park area before we got wet! hahhaha... fun rides!!! i felt like a lil girl again!!... could take pics as the camera was in the locker and it would be ma fun to bring it around....

then after that we changed to our "wet clothes" and started with the Wet Park... there were different slides, rides and the Wave Pool where there was a DJ playing club songs!!! so the happening man!!! the wave pool was packed with ppl.... it's a good thing all of us could sort of swim, so we headed towards the deeper end - away from pesky kids... the waves were wonderful and predictable hehhehe.... we were dancing in the water with the music.... what an experience.... then it started to rain!!! (there goes my bakaring for the day...) but we still didn't budge... it made no sense to leave just because it rained - cause we were already wet!!!!

hahahh by the time we decided to leave and have a bath and change, the night was coming and there were very few ppl left.... so we got ready and went for dinner.... had no idea what to eat...

panoramic pic of the view

so in the end we ended up at Mr. Teppanyaki.. since it was near the parking entrance and we had no energy to walk around Sunway Piramid!! hhahaha... we thought we could make it for the theatre play but we couldn't. the show starts at 8.30 but it seems the tickets will only be sold till 7.45... so by the time we finished our dinner, it was 7pm.. where can go back to Brickfields, change and go to Sentul for the play in 45mins? so we had to cancel that plan... we just hung out abit at Mr. Teppanyaki... catching our breaths... yea we ate fast.. thought we could be on time...

we decided to catch a movie then... we all wanted girl-power type of movie or even comedy.. we didn't want depressing ones, cause we all had enough of depressing moments in our life... no decision was made, we couldn't make up our minds... in the end, we got home some ice-cream and brownies (from Secret Recipie) and waffles from a waffle shop and i had my Baskin & Robbins milk shake (which is equivalent to 3 scoops of ice-cream mind you!!!!) and we headed back to Pauline's place cause she has a VERY huge collection of DVDs.... so it was appropriate place to go for a movie (and, there was no one home...)

we got to her house, before we did anything, we started our budget, calculating who owes who for what... very serious moment... hehehe.. Thi started of calculating...

Pauline ironicly pointed out that out of 4 of us, 3 of us were in accounts class and Thi (who was in the Sc stream) was doing the accounts and budget!! hahahahh weird right?!

so we all had our money out, hp calculators, papers and pen.. like we're playing Monopoly (money) + Scrabble (paper and pen)!!!!...first it was me settling my share of dept, then it was Nooreen, when she was done, it was the final game, between Thi and Pauline.. hahah it was so funny!!! but fortunately so in the end, we ended up paying less than what we budgeted 2 weeks before and everyone went back with a lil bit more... :)

when the budget game was over, we took out our food (i didn't have any cause i had a very filling milkshake) and we watched, The Sweetest Thing... (see, a chick movie) and had another movie, Rumour has it... but half way through the movie, Nooreen and Pauline passed out sleeping.. hahah left me and Thi...

by the time we got back to Brickfields, it was 2 something and we all slept at 3am... this time Pauline was not with us, she had work (not work, but voluntary/charity event)on sunday... was sad that she left but it was good that she managed to join us for the whole of saturday....

SUNDAY

the bus was at 11.30am... so we had to get up earlier... sigh.... everyone was "sad" and tired... didn't talk much.. we were all packing our bags and getting ready to leave... we had roti canai and tosai just down the road from the apartment and Thi's sister brought us to Pudu. we said our goodbyes yesterday to Pauline before the took her car back.... and before we left for pudu we said our goodbyes to Nooreen... i'm so thankful for her to be our ride to everywhere we went since friday....

met up with him at pudu and the 3 of us took the bus back to BM... it was a quiet journey... sad that the holiday's are over, sad that we won't be seeing the other two for quite some time and sad that TOMORROW GOT WORK!!!! damn.......

but thank you GIRLS!!!!

this was a great birthday for me...

very memorable one i can say!!!

hope we'll be able to do this again soon....

and i love u all!!!

thank you again!!

(Nooreen and Pauline, see u for raya!!)

it's fun putting up flikr (u can see it up there... just move your eyes a few cm above this post) u upload the pics... and u can choose which one to be shared/shown to the public and which one u can hide.... though i'm pro-Yahoo... i'll just use flikr for the picture banner up there...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

he has gone back to alor setar already... getting ready for his trip... sad eventhough i've gone through this for more than 5 years... and still i can't really get used to it, used to the day when he leaves either for home or to kl.... what to do... long distance relationship is like that wat...

he said i should be strong like those wives of soldiers before they go off to war... sheesh.. like as if la he's going to war....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i've realised on the reason of my bad complextion - CHOCOLATES!!! damn those sweets!!! though i don't eat those chocolate chocolates but i do eat the other bi products of it, like Milo la, cake la, milkshake la, choco milk la, ice cream la.... sigh... it's like everytime i eat something with chocolate in it, the next few days sure got break outs... so damn irritating!!!! *cry* can't eat anymore!!!! (if i want a clearer complextion la) *cry*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

don't know if any of u have thoughts on this, but i've donated my organs... yes, i've donated them. of course the bf got a shock that i would do something like that, but i don't care, it's my body and if i want to donate it, i will donate. actually he was ok with it, more of surprised than shock... he supported it anyway... which is good! :)

there was this blood donation campaign at work, and at the entrance there was a table with banners about donating your organs. mum have been wanting to donate hers, she did send in the form, but she didn't get the card to say that she is willing to donate. i too had the thought, but never actually went out of my way to find when and where to register. so since there were a table bout it, i filled in the form and registered. instantly they gave me a laminated card (to be put in your wallet - just in case something happens, ppl will know that u want to donate your organs) for me to keep. so now, if anything happens, my organs will be donated before anyone can bury or cremate me... heheheh..... i'll be organ-less when i'm dead.. hahhahaha

Padfoot is in da house!!

what a surprise!!! one of my good friends became a blogger!!! i guess she can't resist the tempation on joining the bandwagon of fellow bloggers to blog...

i mean, for me, blogging is one good way to show off your writing skills espeacially if u LOVE writing.... (not that i'm saying that i can write... i can't actually, compared to ppl who loves and CAN write to save their asses...) so ppl will read it and who knows?! some editor is reading it and think that u're good enough to work for him?

so see Sharon...! there are some good points in blogging!!! next, we must bring in Ms Oon to join us here at blogger... not.. a noob blog provider... *covers my head with my hands*

SHARON...

a warm welcome to the world of Blogging.... :)

changes

for the first time in so long i haven't driven to the penang jetty, i took the highway from work to town. i was thinking, there won't be any traffic but will be towards Komtar area... but then when i was on the highway, i noticed that the second part of the highway was open! i was so happy... no more traffic jams!!!

while i was driving i was thinking on where would the road end... and i found out that it ended at a small kampung where i remember there were lots of chinese temples and that there was always some thing going on there, religious celebrations.... but now, it's all gone.... houses and even the temples were abandoned or knocked down, the good thing is that i could reach the jetty 15 mins earlier!!! at it was after work, which was 6.30pm! amazing uh?

even when i reached the jetty, they turned the car parking lot to a sort-of-bus-station where the red and white busses are parked there.. still the yellow busses are obstructing traffic on the main road... wonder why they won't use the new parking lot. with that, there's no parking lot for cars... wonder where it is... or is there none?

so many things has changed in penang.. especially places i seldom go, or used to go but haven't after a very very long time... come to think of it, i haven't gone on the ferry for quite some time either... wonder if there's anything changed there....

China

so he's been around for a few days since i got back from KL... everything is nice... it always is when he's around, but when the distances comes back to "us" again, everything gets screwed up... it always has...

he'll be going back today.... unfortunately... thought i can have him for the weekend since i'm not working but then he had to go back home to start packing.... yes, his whole family is going to China for his brothers wedding.... think he'll leave on the 27th but not too sure.... said he'll come back around on the 5th next month....

i'm happy for him, he'll be able to meet up with his good friend Liang who is literally a chinaman... hehehe... and well, also the chance to see his brother again and also see CHINA! wished i could go but under some circumstances, i can't... oh well.. China will always be there...

being blur

my dad... not me.. and sometimes he has this lemak feeling, trying to be "in" with my friends... he thinks he's happening! (he tries la...)

u know what he did?

he OBVIOUSLY knew i went to KL.. i took leave since thursday... but did he keep quiet? no..... he had to PURPOSELY send an email to my work email, wishing me (mind u, after wishing me personally ok!) then, obviously he would get an out-of-office reply with an alternative person to contact...

u know what he did?

he emailed my teammate, telling her to wish me!!! like HELLO!!! he obviously knows i'm not there and he already wished me... why the hell did he do that for? she called me to tell me this u know... u know how embarassing this is?

me: why did u email my friend? u know i'm not around wat
dad: wanted to tell her that it was your bday
me: they ALREADY know!
dad: heheheh
me: ...*rolls the eyes* sheesh

i mean, what does he or i get out of this? what's the point in this? except gossip at work about me not telling my father that i'm on leave and running off somewhere for my birthday?? like i'm a rebellious kid... and making me a laughing stock!... sigh...

sometimes he just likes to do pointless things....

bday gifts

didn't get much but the weekend covered it!

i got a ring-type-AnnaSui-lipgloss (from Hong Kong mind you!) from JESSICA!!! thanks soo much!! it was a surprise at the office and it's soo funky!!

and i got bling blings! yea!! a bling bling hair-band! and a bling bling bangle!! LOVELY!!! from Pauline, Nooreen and Thi... thanks girls!!! just hope the bling blings don't fall off!! hehehe

oohh and godma gave me something i thought it was a silver locket with my name with a small bling bling on it... it was in a nice velvet box somemore... but when i took it out, it was a keychain!! fuuuyoooo.... so grand the key chain! hahahha...

and nope, nothing from HIM...

i'm back!

yes i'm back from my hol.. and it's sucks that i'm back... but then wat to do... got RESPONSIBILITIES.... sigh...

it was a good 4 day holiday... i won't say too much, cause there's pictures.. but here's a summary.... it's a weird type of holiday, ppl would go to KL for shopping and food... but it's a bit different from that. since most of us have not been to some places, we thought we'd make it a tourist-sy holiday. go to tourist-sy places like we've never been to KL before... so....

Thurdsday
- spent dinner and the night at godma's place

Fri
- had lunch at KL Sentral
- Istana Negara
- Museum
- KL Tower
- dinner at Chillies with thani

Sat
- Sunway Lagoon
- skipped theatre (too tired, was not in time)
- 2 movies at a gfs hse with brownies and ice cream

Sun
- back home

it was quite tiring, but somehow we had enough of sleep.. which is bout 6 to 7 hrs? good eh? hehhehe... this trip to KL i've seen more of Brickfields that i could ever see and actually got in Sunway Lagoon!!! after all these years!!! and i'm glad i did it with my gfs!!! oooohh and of course, eating till we bloat at Chillies... hahahha....

it was hectic when i came to work.... but then that's how it is when u go on leave, give someone else your job to do and got to resume it when u come back... they should be happy i don't do this too often - cause i'm nice! so stop complaining! ...sigh...

we told ourselves we should make another trip to go for another play.... since we missed this one... there's many coming soon... but then, just hope we could all find the time to meet up again.

so good to see u gals!!! thanks for the GREAT weekend!

yahooo!!!

my last day of work!! yes!! i'm on 2 days leave.. for my birthday!!.... where am i going? KL! sort of for a F5 CBM reunion but there'll only be 4 of us.. will cerita bout it when i come back.. i've been planning this for over a month ago... initially i really planned to go to Phuket.. but one of us had no passport, then second plan was for tioman, but one of us (not the same one) can't take leave, but fortunately work till noon on friday... so still, can't go to tioman as it takes 6 hrs to get there... so in the end we decide to do the unthinkable... ppl will say.. uh? WHY? well... for hints, we are malaysians, so we should have a Cuti-Cuti Malaysia holiday! so for those who want to chia me makan, wait ah i come back first. Aaah i can't wait!! haven't seen the girls for so long!!! just hope plans will go on as planned... but then again, surprises always makes a trip more memorable.. right? heheh

today at work, (since i won't be at work for my birthday) i got some cake slices for my team... ahhah they were surprised, they thought it was my birthday today.. but i told them it is on friday. eheheh i just love surprising ppl.... actually, i sort of ordered some cup cakes from one of the sales rep (who does abit of catering... lovely cup cakes wei!!) but he forgot bout it, he told the cook it was for thursday but in fact, it was supposed to be for today! hahahah.. but it wasn't a big deal.. i just enquired if the cook could do it for me... so nvm.. i already got the cakes for my friends...

got my bus ticket for tomorrow... 1.30pm.. at least i can sleep in!!! OMG.. i haven't been sleeping properly for the whole week and somemore i was working both sat and sun. wat more things has been happening at home... no electricity la.. ppl making noise la... aiyo!!! for once at least i can get up a later time and not at 6.30am!!

now.. i can't wait for 6pm!!

AIR HON

driving to work on the bridge... i got to keep left cause at the end of the bridge i got to turn left... but NOOOOoooooo ppl who want to turn left, but have NO BLOODY PATIENCE... drive fast fast on the right.. and expect ppl to give way....

it happened to me a few times and i beh tahan.. i hon-ed using my AIR HON i tell u... it happened this morning AGAIN.. bloody big car... not bothered wat car was that... trying to push me off the bridge .... i didn't let go... in the end he treatened to hit me! i gave him my AIR HON!!! and u know what he did!?? he purposely drove slowly... and to the side.. wanting to let me to pass through... i know if i passed through he'd sure do something... so i just followed him behind... which i hated cause it was creating traffic!! but i was saving my ass....

in the end he sped up.... and i saw him driving like a reckless ass on the road... already it's obvious there's office jam and how fast u go also u sure to be stuck!!! i curse him no children and get into an accident, accident so big that he wouldn't afford a big car but instead only able to afford a kancil! THERE!!

hello.... u're in the wrong u know... and u can still show off and bully ppl....? i really wish there would be a police fella standing there getting down all the cars that cut in from the right.... and saman them big big!!! but then again.. saman also now got sale... sigh... useless...

DAMN IRRITATING MAN!!!!

spoil my morning only...

fuck!

gfs are the best!!

yes, i've experienced it myself when i was down, in the dumps, when i thought my life was over or when i thought i was useless and that nobody liked me or wanted me...

my gfs.. they were there.... and i really appreciate what they have done for me... some are now in another state.. some are still around... some are to just hear me out... some are to shove some senses to me and tell me out loud the answers i already know but hate it... some are there just to hug me while i cry... some are just there for me....

and i would like to be the same for them, putting them first when they need the company, someone to just hear them out, someone to give a hug, someone to tell them answers they already know, someone to be just there for them... and i hope i make them feel better as how they made me feel better...

to my gfs...

i thank you and cherish u
will all my heart and soul.
without u,
i wouldn't know what i'd do...

love u all lots!

again...

my weekend is spent without him around.... just like the last weekend.... how like that?

and hope everything will turn out for the better

(in either way)

is it work?

i've been wanting to write something i came up with in my mind. it was about 2 days ago that i told myself i'll write this... so what i wrote in my "head" i can't seem to write it down properly... words all getting jumbled....

anyway.. what i was trying to say is that sometime ago, i was told that when u consider staying in a relationship, work.... it's not a relationship anymore.. it's something u have to do because u're in one...

somehow that may be true in some ways and some ways it's not true.. i don't know.. (everything seem to have the good and bad side..) but i guess the person telling me this has a different way of thinking, or was just trying to be philosophical with me (that i wouldn't know)...

what it was meant is that.. if u think u are burdened in doing stuff in a relationship and u feel it's like work cause u HAVE to do it.... then it's not right... u have to have to WANT to do it because u're in the relationship and that it makes u happy doing it and your doing it out of love.

so what does one do if one thinks the relationship is "work"? do u try to change it into something that u want to do without asking or assuming that u have to do it? or do u find another relationship which u don't feel like it's work?

i guess it's also time for me to look into my relationship... do i think it's work? does he think it's work? it'll be really serious if it is....

err happy anniversary?

it came and gone... came silently.... and nearer to the end, it was nice cause he remembered... but it ended silently again..... was no difference... so much was needed to be said but we didn't have the luxury to say it.... and again, we were not together....

wonder if he remembers my birthday

Damiral's Grill

the dark

it was 4.30 and it looked like it was 8pm... we were over shadowed by very THICK rain clouds. clouds that's so black that even the lights at the car park thought it was night, were switched on... so dark that every car had their lights on and so dark that i could see my reflection on the window....

it did rained.. it rained heavily and it's freaking cold in the office... was just thinking how am i to walk to the car and try not to get wet!.... umbrella's in the car... being useless... sigh... think i'll bring it with me tomorrow....

after an hr.... the rain came to a drizzle... looking out, ppl were still using umbrellas and the sky were abit clearer and lighter... though still it looks darker than usual. usually at this time, the sunset sun will be striking down on us with it's hot ray lights... but now, it's like 6.30 am...

i'm sure there's a HUGE jam on the penang bridge... fortunately i'm not planning to go home after work... but still when it rains EVERYWHERE will be stuck in a jam... like as if the rain is going to eat and kill us, so we must all slower our every speed to half.... it just irritates me.

cathing up to do

yup i managed to meet up with jess after nearly 6 months (or more) and had promised her a meal... and finally we found the time to meet up... we had so much to catch up, from ourselves, friends and family.. oohh oohh and lots on WORK... sad right? we meet to talk about work.. hahaha but at least we get to know what's like in the working world of other ppl...

food was great! we ate at Damiral's Grill.. it's a malay makan place that has the atmosphere of a semi-fine dinning place. cosy, friendly, there's lots of varieties in food, mostly western though but if u want your mee goreng, they also have but then again, i asked for tom yam soup, tak da.... but anyway we had great food and it's up to my standard.. for those who know my standard of food... if i say it's nice... u know what that means.... it IS nice.. hahahah perasan!

it was nice meeting her again and catching up, we promised to do this often.... hopefully we'll meet again ... SOON!

today...

hope my day today will be as nice as how it started - a rainbow

again

yea i'm feeling that emptiness again but this time it's a lil bit different, i feel that i'm missing something... not someone.. but something...

i miss doing things i used to do, things i love doing or long to do... but i can't seem to point it out what exactly i miss... or maybe i'm just bored or frustrated with my life at this moment though there's nothing for me to complain about. everything is fine.. work's fine... friends wonderful... family ok la... bf don't want to talk about it.... so i shouldn't be feeling what i'm feeling now....

maybe i should go back to my art and just draw/colour to my liking without thinking if other ppl think its nice or not... or maybe i should do a lil bbq in my back yard.. just for fun, just for 3 pieces of chicken.. (yes i did that before... crazy right?) or take up SEWING!! hahahahah yea right!!!! or am i missing the sun and sea?

sigh....

i just feel so restless yet i'm too tired to do anything... the body and the mind can sometimes be 2 entities (and maybe the hands too).... one maybe tired and yet the other is up and ready to do anything... i guess now my minds rebelling of not doing much and want to get running again?

oh well guess i just need a good nights sleep .. haven't for the past week...

or maybe should i learn shoduko? (or what's it called?) .....

and then there were 2....

looks like the 3 musketeers were just a phase... 3 ppl in need of company, so all 3 found each other... but i guess we move on but sometimes i miss those few lil times we hung out together...

so she and i are left to keep each other company... maybe we're just meant to be together uh? ;) thank you for being there babe!

nearly a blonde... OMG!

hair disaster!!! not THAT bad la....

it was supposed to be blonde HIGHLIGHTS.... but in the end the "inside" hair was half blonde!! as blonde as in Christina Aguilera's blonde!!! OMG!!! luckily the top hair was not and was able to cover it... unfortunately the whole thing was a disaster... it seemed like i had patches of bleach on my head.... sigh....

luckily, i still had time to do something bout it before i came to work on monday... mum had an extra bottle of dark brown copper colour at home... so i used that to patch up my blonde patches... now sometimes i look like a tiger with brown stripes or a leapord with patches...sigh... at least my white hair doesn't look that obvious!!!

and no i won't take a pic of my hair... it's bad enough i have it for 2 odd months till my hair grows out... u want me to put on the net? hahahahha.... u wanna see how bad it is? come see me!! :P

STEVE IRWIN

a tribute to the most famous Croc Hunter

his programs were the only croc documentary show that i'll watch... not only to hear his funny accent but his shows are very entertaining and personal too.. personal meaning u get to know more on his wife, kids and even his dog!

his famous quote or words would be "wonderful!!!" "amazing!!" and the greatest one of all (my favourite la..) is "isn't she GEORGOUS!!!" hahahahah... i can just hear him saying these in his own way...

it's sad to loose someone who cares alot for the animals and has brought awareness to ppl like u and me - the fun way. He has founded alot of organizations in preserving and helping wild animals and animals that are threat to extinction... but i guess everyone knows this...

well here's my personal tribute to him.

Steve Irwin,

someone the animals will miss most

and someone the humans will remember!

the only aussie worth watching on tv ;)

Happy Anniversary

to myself!

yes it's been ONE YEAR since i started working, earning my own moolah and being alil bit more indipendant.... though i basically feel the same, but i can see i have a bit more freedom.... especially when it comes to my spending power... heheheh..... so far, so good... i'm not in deep shit of depts... still able to float, still alive....

i know it's only been a year, and i can't really expect much to happen in a year.... though i'm still on contract but still at least now my resume says .... 1 Year experience... but try to hide the "contract" part of it la... shy only... one year talk so much but then.. not permanent also.... sigh....

but anyway, there's so much i learnt and i know there's so much more to come. and i can't wait actually! though i secretly (well it's not a secret anymore since i'm saying it here) miss my technical side of computing..... i miss playing around with codes, with configurations, software and getting frustrated with myself because certain things can't work...getting my hands dirty because of playing around with pc parts and cables (like when i was doing my thesis... until can sweat man!) but then wat to do... i'm not good enough to be in that line of job... sigh.... *sad*

oh well, i can't complain, at least i have a job, unlike some 1000+ ppl in Intel going through VSS. so i have to be happy with that and make the best of it....

so Happy Anniversary to me and hope my future working days will be brighter with more doors opening for me.....

an outing

so i have the weekend off.... no plans... which is good... did some banking and cut my hair... then i decided to hang out... called out my good buddy from college.. he said OK (in his cheerie voice) !!! and he came to fetch me at bout 9.30.. which is quite late but ... hey! i'm not working tomorrow!! so no problemo!!

were supposed to meet for dinner but in the end it was supper.... and mind you.. this is 1st supper... sure to have a second later... didn't know where to go..

F: where ah?

C: dunno ah... where ah?

F: how's our budget?

C: can la... but tight abit

F: wanna go penang?

C: OK (in his cheerie voice again)

so we went.... wanted to bring him to Subway... but since both of us is on a budget... we'll go there another day....

C: so where?

F: dunno la....

F: come i show you where my grandma's place...

so in the end we drove pass by showing him my grandma's place at LeNid in Green Lane... and after that he was trying to find his barrings around that area...

C: so where want to eat?

F: thinking la.. wait la....

so we finally decided on Tari Cafe... (can't really bring him to chinese place cause, he consider himself malay so... must find halal food...) but then... no parking... sigh.... wanted to make a u-turn to park on the opposite side of the road but in the end... i decided to try Tulang Corner... just nearby Tari.... haven't been there before... so okla.. we try...

foods fine, normal malay food with ikan bakar... i chose pari bakar but the fish was either OLD or not fresh... the flesh was abit rubbery.... hung out there... chatted alot... then the shop was closing... that was 11+pm....

so we decided to drive around penang... he wanted to have something (see.. what i tell you... 2nd supper) in Gurney Drive hawker but when we got there... there were so many ppl and NO parking... so he changed his mind.. he doesn't like crowds... then we drove around the esplanade... penang road...

F: you got mat ah?

C: why?

F: wanna hang out by the beach?

C: OK!.. but where?

F: i show you...

we went to the famous hangout beach in penang... very packed with ppl... Crown Prince Hotel beach... managed to find parking and went there.. no mat.. i was thinking.. how la to sit on the sand.. new jeans u know! then while walking on the beach telling him this was a happening beach and as he can see there were so many ppl BBQ-ing there and hanging out....

then i suddenly hear someone calling someone bekky!! i thought.. that's Sharon's sister.... i was trying to find Sharon... then i heard Sharon's laughter... i knew it was her..

F: MISS SHARON JOANNE!!!

Sharon: scared.. looking in the dark at me...

F: SHARON JOANNE!!!

Sharon: FIONAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

she was so happy to see me.... it seems it was Benny's birthday and the gang was there... in the end he and me hung out with them... i had my "drink" which is good cause i was thinking of getting one earlier... and caught up with Sharon.... loads to talk man.. she was pissed drunk and when u're one... u tend to be extra emotional and talkative.. hahahah...

Sharon: hey C, what are YOU doing here with fi?

F: saja la..... nothing to do, dunno where to go....

Sharon: ooohhhh...... *blur blur*

we were on the beach till 2 something... till they decided too many ppl were drunk and it was time to go back... so we all went back... BUT!! our friend here still wanted to have that 2nd supper so we ended in Pelita for nasi kandar.... how la to loose weight like this? 3am makan rice!!!

by the time i reach home it was nearly 5am.... muahahah... it's been a while since i stayed out late.... i'm so glad i met sharon....

hair day

yes... i've cut my hair yesterday and i self highlighted it today.... self highlight u might ask? well in dubai they had a new product from Wella. it's called highlights and they gave a special comb where u squeeze some hair-colour formula to the comb, and just comb over your hair. i'm still waiting for it to be developed... hopefully it turns out ok... it's hard to say cause my hair is VERY VERY black and what ever colour u put on it... sure can't see one!! so lets see if u can see the higlights on my hair....

colour- blond highlights .... OMG! hahaha

more yummy ones

what's lovely? i got up at 12.30 pm!!!! MUAHAHAHA... after so freaking long i got the chance to get up late!! hehehehe....

last night for an impromtu plan, we decided to catch a movie... Nocho Libre.. hahah none other than Jack Black.. damn funny la wei.. don't know if the movie is banned in Mexico... hahahah... the character i like best is Nacho's no.2! the mexican beggar... damn funny.... u must go see it!.. there's so many other movies i haven't watched... u know kan.. no time and no budget... sigh... worst is no time... but at least i got to watch one last night.. after SOOOO long! thanks babe!!

so today, i got up LATE! wooohoooo!!! and went to cut my hair.. yes.... got rid of bout 1 and 1/2 inches from the back... (this is because of the damn split ends) didn't touch my frinch, the lady just trimmed it. so now i feel so light! hahahah.... after that wanted to get my fav chic rice but the coffee shop was closed so i went to get my teh MADRAS ais!! lovely!!! had 2 actually hahahha!

dinner

much better.... writing in english .. hahahah...

so how was your merdeka this year? not very the happening uh? well not that i know off la.. haha as i said i was at work.. so... *shrugs*

the farewell dinner for the only thorn among the roses was ok. lots of laughs espeacially hearing about what happens in the other dept... so the farney la.. it's sad to know that one of us who has been around for more than a year will be leaving... though we may not know him that well, we do get along in a certain way.... but what can we do.. it's life, we got to move on.... we wish him well and wish him good luck

we went to Secret Recipe, we had set dinners... i had BBQ chic.. (as always), boss had Tom Yam soup (as always), the two other roses had lasagne and the guest of honour had spaghetti.... the set included the main meal + ice lemon tea (or soft drink) + brownie... i thought it was the brownie that they were selling... but NOOO it was the cheapsake type!! what a rip off.... it costs RM18++.... sigh.... as always everyone was happy with their food.. hahahaha we always go to great places for food!!

many faces of Wilson

it was so crowded at e-Gate but of course, it was Merdeka eve. the clubs at the other end of the block had a thing going with over sized blown up balloons and tents outside the club with loud thomping (and pumping) music. at least we managed to get a place inside and we could hear ourselves.

parking.. OMG parking.... it's horrible!! ppl were double parking on BOTH sides of the road... AT the road heading towards the parking ticket booth.. so.. ppl can't go in to park and also can't come out from parking!!! we managed to get a ticket and get in and while doing that the guy was shouting no parking no parking.. but HELLO!!! so many cars lining up to get out!! so there IS parking... so.. dun care.. we just went in ignoring him and just went around.. took our chances and went to the basement... no parking.... but on the way out i saw one very spacious and nice parking lot... thought it was for bikes.. but i saw the parking lines for a car... so it WAS A PARKING LOT!!! hhahahha never felt so happy finding a lot.. hahah maybe because we were LATE (sorry guys!) and it was raining heavily... didn't want to walk in the rain... and we managed to get a freaking PARKING LOT!!! hahahaha (i sound so pathetic!)

by the time we were done... it was 10 something... we were all tired.. the next day (which was merdeka) we had to work...... sigh.... sad ppl... no life ppl... working on a public holiday....

Peraduan Fesyen

Pemenang pertama akan mendapat hadiah RM50, pemenang kedua mendapat RM30 dan pemenang ketiga mendapat RM20. Hadiahnya bukannya dalam ringgit (amat menyedihkan kan??) tetapi hanya boucher untuk digunakan di kedai ais krim Haagan Daz.

inilah gambar separuh daripada kawan saya yang menyertai peraduan ini.

dimanakah saya?

Selamat Hari Merdeka!

MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA!

Pada pagi yang mulia ini, para rakyat Malaysia akan menyaksikan perarakan Merdeka di merata negeri di Malaysia ini. Adakah anda salah satu daripadanya? Atau adakah anda akan menyaksikannya di kaca televisyen dengan sarapan pagi yang menyihatkan?

tapi malangnya saya kena kerja hari ini, tak boleh bangun lambat, tak boleh menikmati kesejukkan pada pagi ini. sepanjang malam tadi telah hujan lebat syoknya tidur tetapi kena bangun awal. trafik di jalan pun lancar! saya sampai tempat kerja 30 minit legih awal daripada biasa hahahah

apa makna merdeka kepada anda semua? adakah ia tentang kebebasan seseorang individu di negara ini, kebebasan beragama, kebebasan bekerja, kebebasan untuk ke mana-mana di negara ini? ataupun rakyat malaysia boleh berdikari, boleh membuat sesuatu sendiri (ingat tak kereta proton? perodua? atau pun mempunyai MAS dan Air Asia?)

perkara yang membanggakan saya adalah kepelbagaian kaum di Malaysia. Ada kaum Cina, Melayu, India, kaum di Sabah dan Sarawak dan kaum saya iaitu kaum SERANI! YEAH! SERANI BOLEH! okok balik ke topik. saya bangga yang kami semua memahami antara satu sama kaum. bukan sahaja memahami tetapi boleh menikmati dan menyertai perayaan kaum yang berbeza dan lain. Keadaan ini (bagi saya la) membuka minda rakyat Malaysia untuk menerima kaum yang lain dan memahami bahawa bukan dialah seorang dalam negara ini, ada orang yang lain yang berbeza

saya telah melancong ke luar negeri dalam setahun yang lepas dan ia amat berbeza. saya akui bahawa ia amat mengembirakan menikmati tempat orang lain tetapi selepas beberapa hari saya akan merindui penang saya. mungkin ini kerana saya tidak melancong dengan banyak tetapi mungkin ini kerana tempat ini adalah tempat saya. kamu boleh berkata tentang keganasan di sini ataupun di tempat lain, pada pandangan saya, mana-mana pun adalah sama. oleh itu, pada masa ini, saya tidak boleh bayangkan diri saya tinggal di tempat orang... mungkin bila masa datang, ia mungkin terjadi tapi kalau sekarang, tidak...

baik, ia amat memenatkan bagi saya menulis lagi dalam bahasa malaysia tetapi saya bangga mengetahui dan belajar bahasa ini, tidak begitu baik tetapi boleh la.. apakah markah saya? menulis blog ini dalama bahasa malaysia...? sila beri jawapan dalam bahasa malaysia juga ya! kita boleh bandingkan tahap bahasa kita semua!

kepada 5xmom, macam mana? pass ke tak? :)

it's cold...

yes it's been RAINING cats and dogs!!! though luckily i'm indoors and not leaving the building for 10 hrs... so it's fine.. just hope it'll stop when i finish work... no umbrella la to the car....

anyway... it's freaking cold... i'm one of those who can't feel cold here eventhough the others are shivering and is wearing jackets... only on certain occasions when it's terribly cold, i'll then feel cold.

it's been a while since i saw rain that heavy... it's been hazy for quite sometime and hot... so it's nice to have a lil rain here and there... too bad KL is flooding like nobody's business....

random posts below

did u know helium ballons can only last bout 12 hrs? and after that they drop.... they loose their floating-ness.... (what's the word? i'm no dictionary) the office here yesterday had balloons floating everywhere for some brand thingy.... that was around noon.... and today when i came to work, they all dropped.. though they still have air in it...

plans for mid sept... going steady, we already have a draft of where to go, the timing and budget.... budget came to a surprise but i guess it's because of the # of places we'll be going... if we just stuck to one place... it'll be cheaper.... so... hopefully *crossing my fingers REALLY hard* we'll be able to go ahead with the INITIAL PLAN A..... which would save us as much as $200!!!

one of my colleagues will be his last day tomorrow..... so we're going for some makan today.. though i've never actually hung out with him (he's kinda shy.. hehehe) he's a nice fellow... we'll miss him... and also he's the thorn among 8 roses!! hahahahha.... he'll be going back to his hometown in KL to get a better job or just basically move on.... so i wish him the BEST in whatever he decides to do and wish him success!!! HIP HIP HOORAY for WILSON!

so with the bloody accident i had... i'm now also still broke as i got to pay back my dad the money... sigh..... now i understand the phrase "money the root of all evil" though it does bring some good and satisfaction to me, personally that is.....

he's in KL getting his passport done and his IC... the sucky thing bout not having a Malaysian passport or IC is basically not having a Malaysian passport or IC!!!! especially when u're living in MALAYSIA for your whole freaking life! sigh.... want to go travel with him also so susah..... how liddat?

did u know christmas is coming? i can hear some of u saying NOOOOOooooo especially my mum, christmas = lots of cooking = lots of cleaning = no rest = moody mum for me? well, i think it won't be a big thing... few things changed between relatives, friends so maybe i'll plan another trip? ;) why not uh? hhahahahah....

Just recently

Here's what was in our email circulation at the office.. funny man!...

Fellow countrymen,

LEND ME YOUR EARS

In conjunction with Merdeka Day,

we're hoping that everyone will come to work tomorrow

wearing ANY national colour that they'd like.
You might be thinking, "Nahhh I'm not gonna do that".

But think about this, it might sound lame,

but it's the day we won our FREEDOM!!!!


MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!! MERDEKA!!

we'll see tomorrow if anyone was sporting on this...

1 day to Merdeka

not tht i'm off also... sigh...

but ya.. tomorrow is a public holiday for us and the roads will be CLEAR!! YEAY!! can get up a teeny weeny lil bit later.... AND we'll be going out of the office for lunch.. yeay!!!! no boring food....

did i do any preps for merdeka? hahaha na la.... we work in an ausie environment.. so no such celebration in the office... though the local depts are decorated with balloons and stuff which is very colourful...

so tomorrow i shall blog in bm... wish me luck!

damn.. ppl going partay-ing tonight!

symbols

do u believe in symbols? as the famous DaVinci code book is all about symbols and codes it has gone a long way hundreds of years... but what i'm talking about here are symbols or u can say it as superstitions...

like they say it's bad luck when a black cat walks pass by you, or that it's bad luck when u break a mirror or it's bad luck to walk under a ladder... some may be stupid and doesn't make sense, some may make u think abit...

so, does it mean something when the ring u wore for nearly 4 years SUDDENLY turn black. though it never happened before... or when the chain and cross u wore for over 10 years suddenly turn black? and of course it never did before....

does that mean the relationship with him has gone sour or something bad has (or will) happen? or is my faith lacking with Him (looking up)?

i've never looked into these type of symbols or superstitions before... well yes i do take precausions like not walking under a ladder cause obviously the ladder might fall on you, or wash my feet before i go to bed cause u may just bring some dirt that was on your feet to your bed....

but why suddenly? why did the ring and chain and cross turn black? i've been wearing it for YEARS and it never happened... but now, it has... why?

some say it's because of the soap or water or powder or perfume i used.. but it is the same thing i've used all these years!..... so what say u? is it a sign? or is the silver just reached it's EOL (end of life)???

My blog worth....

hahaha how i wish they will pay me that much... try it for yourself!

My blog is worth $3,387.24.
How much is your blog worth?

countdown to MERDEKA

in 4 DAYS.... MALAYSIA will turn 49 ... and i'm sure next year it'll be a very BIG and HUGE occasion.. the big 5 0....

so anyway, 5xmom suggested we blog in BM on merdeka day.... i'll try though i haven't spoken (proper) BM for quite sometime... what more WRITE in BM.. hahaahh... it'll be fun come to think of it! hahhaha why not u guys join me? on the 31st, we blog in malay... boleh? jom!

plans for merdeka day (or eve)... used to go out "partay-ing" but not for few years... it gets too crowded with ppl.... would love to go to the Esplanade again to watch for fireworks but a few times i've been there with friends on some occasions, they didn't have fireworks and it was pretty dissapointing... plus it falls on the weekday.... I AM WORKING!!! sad right?

so what are you ppl doing for merdeka? SLEEP i guess! hahahah... i would! if i had the day off... and are u flying the Jalur Gemilang? hope so... though i don't have one with me.... maybe i'll get one motobike flag and stick it on my cube wall.... how much ah?

its here again

yes the weekend is here again, and soon it'll be gone.... days have been going by very very fast and i sometimes loose track of time... when it gets too hectic i sometimes forget what i did the last few days....

the last few days was depressing, financially heartbreaking, emotionaly sad and pysically tired... but somehow when things go wrong and when u feel that no one gets you.... someone u never thought of would just lay help on your lap, without you asking (but of course u bitched bout what u're going through... but never asked)... and that's what touch me most....

i was obviously in need, though having thick-skin i never asked for help. u knew i was bitching bout the state i was in and u knew i needed help - u gave it to me (even without asking me if i wanted help). i'm really appreciative of that and i'll always remember it. it made me cry cause without that help, soon i was a goner...

THANK YOU!

WCG

it's that time of year... again.. and i've been dumped for it.. yes.. for WCG... sad aint it? sigh... what can i say? nothing...
