i got conned!

sigh.....

for the last 2 weeks or so, boss has been trying to get the Q closed for today - Anzac Day.... till yesterday, we were all supposed to come to work, knowing that there's no indication/email saying that the Q is closed... so this morning, everyone is here lah!

when i walked in the office, i heard my name being called and saying that we WERE CONNED!!! it's like WTF!!!! so i checked my mail and so it is... the q IS closed... and it seems instead of taking calls, we'll be having "trainings".....

sigh....

my dept conned me! hahhahaha..... well, what's good about this is.... NO NEED TO TAKE CALLS!!! yeah!!!

nice pic

our office do not have name tags on our cubes... so inorder to "have" one, they decided to take pics of all of us, print it out and post it up with our names and such.... so here's the one that was taken of me and i love this shot.... just washed hair, and it was in the morning, i was still "fresh" heheheheh..... and yea.. i know, my desk is in a mess... hehehehe

tired week

... the funeral was short and sweet and well, sad but it's alright... uncle philip was a very lovable man, everyone loved him and he had a good life... so we must celebrate that....

heard from laura that they will be going to india send off the ashes there in the sea... uncle philip loved the sea and spent most of his time in india... so i guess that's the best way to do it....

haven't really got good sleep since the funeral, sleeping late... getting up early.... will be going to TTDI today after work to spend the weekend with mum and godma....

oh.. had a delightful phone call inviting me to Good Charlotte this sat... free ticket! wicked!! so i'll be going on sat.. it'll be at Bkt Jalil... damn.. the traveling time would already be 1hr +....

so, my lunch break is up... need to get back to work soon... sigh.....

R.I.P

15 APR 2007

Philip G. Williams

78 years

May he rest in Peace

My uncle, who is my Godma's husband has passed away yesterday noon. He had a few mini strokes and when my Godma brought him to the hospital, he went unconcious... docs said he may be able to hear ppl but just cannot acknowledge it.... this started end of march

Laura, my cousin was down and my uncle managed to open his eyes to see her... tried talking to her, but i guess he was already in semi-coma type of state and couldn't talk... she went back to Aussie last thurs and sadly he passed away yesterday... but she's back again this morning...

went to see Godma yesterday for prayers, she was alright, looked tired.... i sort of cried during the prayers as i liked this uncle, he was always so witty and carefree....he was full of experience esp during the war and had so much to say to us young ppl.... i will miss him dearly... i know shen loved him dearly as he was always so into conversation with uncle philip... so i messaged him to let him know...

so to Godma and Laura, my/our prayers will always be with you and i know that he is now free without any suffering and he can see u both.....

May the Lord be with you Uncle Philip, we'll miss you dearly!

* funeral on wed, getting unpaid leave...

Easter Weekend

err... HAPPY EASTER...? heheheheh

i know it's late, cause i was back home holidaying ppl!! heheheh... i was in Holiday Inn for 2 nights.... wonderful! and i got burnt... as usual.. heheheh... i need the sun cause i'm like so white! i go to work, i don't see the sun, then i'm in the office the whole bloody day, and then when i get home, i STILL don't see the sun.... so now, at least i have some colour (and i'm suffering for it.. heheheh ... i know i know, serves me right! :P)

so i got on the bus straight after work on thurs and came home... by the time i got home was about 11pm or so.... nice timing...

on fri, went to do my license, got some stuff, had light lunch... and went for 3pm mass in Pulau Tikus.... so hot i tell u.... luckily, mass ended around 4.30 or so.... and after that we went to Holiday Inn.... we had tea, since we're "fasting"... so cannot eat big big and cannot eat meat...

mum and i swam, hung out on the lazy benches and chilling out... we waited for dad, he was working and we went for dinner... dinner was at Feringghi Cafe.... nice cozy romantic place.. more for couple couple thingy... unfortunately, it got to me... but i was trying myself to enjoy the food and the company of my parents (pics will be uploaded l a t e r . . . )

then on sat.... my major goal for the day is to have COLOUR on me!!! yes!! but before that, after buffet breakfast, mum wanted to go see see the Batik Factory... in fact, even I haven't been to the batik factory... so we went... interesting... BUT the workers there, so unfriendly man!! i mean if this year is Visit Malaysia... but with that attitude.... sigh..... (again.. pics l a t e r . . . )

then it's bakar time! i swam, i lepak, i sat on the beach, i "scrubbed" myself in "salt and dirty water" and swam in the pool again and just got burnt.... mum couldn't tahan... so she headed back to the nice aircon room... i followed but soon later, i went to sleep in the garden (under the shade... i was too burnt by then)... i ACTUALLY slept! it's SOOO nice sleeping in the garden, with the sound of waves, wind, the palm trees..... sigh.... miss that feeling... i slept about nearly 2 hrs.... NICE!

had dinner at some hawker place opposite Golden Sands... ok la...... the prices are abit $$ too.... then later CC came to fetch me (so nice of him to come ALL the way up to Batu Feringghi...) and we went to meet piggy and cher and ed and some fellas from "hell" for The Reaping..... hahahha the movie had some jumps but it was ok la... towards the end it had quite good effects... but it's so not for Easter man... it talks about the 10 plagues and the devil and all that.. hahhaha.... oh well, at least i went to watch a movie!!! yeay!

after movie, half of us went to this hangout-drinking place next to Naza Hotel... just sat for an hr or 2 just to relax.... didn't really have good wind, it was quite stuffy and hot.... in the end everyone was tired and we went back....

then had to get up early on sunday for the last buffet breakfast and to go for Easter mass at 10.30am.. so sad la wei.... leaving the nice hotel, the beach, the POOL!! sigh...... just thinking of what's gonna happen tomorrow on Monday.... i'm going back to KL!!!!! *cry*

after mass, we all went home and stayed home..... some how we were tired from the weekend away, weird isn't it?

i ended my weekend home with a blast.... i met up with Sharon in SOHO Auto City with her cousin and surprisingly i met some old BM St Anne's friends! so nice!!! heheheheh... we drank and danced though the place was half full... sunday mah! monday ppl work, how to go clubbing? hahahha.... and no, i did not get drunk! :P

thanks CC, Sharon.... Ros, Cher and Ed for a good night out! will try my best to come back soon.... ;)

"i'm going to die a spinster"

... and that got his attention.... he tried to make sure that i wouldn't... but i guess somehow as time goes by, things happen and i don't blame anyone or anything for it...

it was good to know that there was someone out there who looked pass through my looks (and my low self-confidence) and had faith in me that i had something, something worth while, something that means something. he gave me that lil "up" in me, making me feel that everything is ok, that i can do it, that i'm not all that bad and that i'm ok...

now, things have gone differently and i'm not sure if i can find another someone that will give me that feeling again, that boost in life, that fresh air.... i'm sure there are ppl out there but..... sigh... i wouldn't know what to do/react/feel if there was someone who "could" be that another "somebody"....

sigh... well, i guess i WILL die a spinster after all and for the past 6 years, it was God's blessing that i was given the chance to see how it is like having someone there for u, being your pillar and giving you that boost that you can't get it on your own.... (and i'm always grateful and thankful for that - and maybe that could be the reason our "song" was Thank You for Loving Me...)

now i shall learn to be on my own, to find happiness and strength on my own... i AM getting there.... it's a slow process but i'm feeling much better, trying to "take a day at a time" and at the same time trying to appriciate everything that's around me... and hopefully, one day, someone will come along for me (that is la... if i'm meant to be with someone... O_o if not - i'll die a spinster)

so now, i'm open to all new things and especially new friends, to celebrate life! CELEBRATE LIFE!!!

Before the pc

*another from Andrew

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy
You hoped nobody found out!

Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!

Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!

Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Because I got high...

I was going answer the calls
But then I got high
I was going to hit my AHT
But then I got high
But now the GOS is bad
And I know why!! yeah yeah
Because I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high.....

*curtesy from Andrew... heheheh.. good one!

Easter is coming!

so it's the Holy Week... what have u given up or sacrificed during this lent season?

me? well haven't really thought about it, but i guess it's eating less OR eating less "rich" food.... but i think this is half for lent and half for loosing weight.. hahahah... i got a wedding dinner to go to in sept, and i want to fit in my dress that i made for my cousins wedding before... love that dress.... so... i have 6 months to loose that weight again....

aussies are taking off for easter, but they're having us to take "forced" leaves..... on friday AND monday! hahahahah.... everyone else is complaining, not I!! :) so i'll be back to BM on thurs night... and i'll leave for KL on monday morning... (don't know if mum bought my bus ticket to kl yet... hmmm)

will be having a hotel stay with parents on friday, just thought i'd treat them to something nice... since i'm not home dee... and hmm... maybe i'll cook on sunday? hmm... it was just a thought.. heheheh (wat to cook ah?)

so, what's your plans for Easter?

what happens...

oh, and for my other babes.... here's Raymond... heheheh (at our new area on the 24th floor)

my letter

to the one who means alot to me

we've known each other for God knows how long (but i do, since we were 9) and we've gone through so much... life in school was good, we each had our own set of best friends but somehow we were still close (maybe because we stayed in the same taman but i believe that's not the only reason) as years went by, we gained more experiences in life, on school stress, puberty, friends, emotional feelings, family problems and of course BOYS heheheh..... everything was so hyped and meant such a big deal at that time...

and as we grow older, we look back and just laugh to how innocent we were and how naive we were... hehehe... just thinking about the bicylce event with that boy just made me laugh! and trips to tuition for well 2 reasons... ;) and that moment where u prayed with me while i just broke down in my room because of the issue with the grown ups... and all the lil events that we
went through.... my childhood was happening because of you and i'm so glad for that, i'm so glad that u came to stay in my taman and i'm so glad that we could get along...

as life goes on, school ended and we all had to think of our future, we did what we wanted and i thank God that we still kept in touch, we never did loose touch... even for those long weeks without talking/phoning/emailing, you've always been in my mind, and when i see something or go through some adventure, i always think of how you would like it too and thought how nice
if u would be here with me to see this...

now having such a big blow to my head and heart, i had no where (or didn't know HOW) to let go of all that stress, that hate, that bad feelings, that bad conversation, that horrible decision and the disasterous truth... i took it out on you... and i regretted all of it, i regretted taking it out on
you, i shouldn't have been more mature about it, more in depth with myself and more considerate... but i wasn't. i was behaving like a spoilt kid when dad takes away something i've always have and love for many many years...

i couldn't live with myself for that... i couldn't stand it that i may have lost a friend... and i prayed that i didn't loose you, loose your friendship.. it would hurt more than the reason for this episode. i could easily blame someone else for this, but it's my fault, i shouldn't behave like that... i KNOW i know better, but it skipped my mind then...

i'm sorry

i'm so so sorry

i wish i could go back to that day when i felt that pain and hurt and take away all that i did... i feel ashamed, stupid and sad that i could do such a thing, i feel like such a horrible person and i pray everyday that someday you will forgive me...

i won't do it again... and if i do, just give me a slap and say "u're doing it again!" and i'm sure to be back to my senses. but i can assure u, this will always be in my head and i will dare not do it again...

a very sorry

shimmers

TGIF's food with the team

pics are all random.... and i can't really remember what is what... hehehe

obviously, the cheesecake... so the filling ler...

i think it's pasta, or some seafood spicy thingy with garlic bread...

famouse fajitas....

this must be either rocky moutain or some choc-fudge thingy...(it had vanilla icecream, fudge, choc and whipped cream)

JD burgers with fries.... (andrew had this)

MY bbq chic!

pasta with fish/prawns

another burger

AND another burger

damn... my picture taking skills down hill man... unless i was still high on "tea" when i took these pics... heheheh

work at TGIF's

the whole team FINALLY decided to go to TGIFs.... everyone had their own ideas on where to go and half the team were located in PJ and half were in the opposite direction.... but in the end, it was TGIFs in town....

so here's some crazy pics we took...

crazy Noreen and me.... she loves to camwhore! hahahha... aren't we all :P

this is our dept (in the background) newly renovated on the 24th floor... looking out u can see the KL tower, pudu, Maybank tower.... i just LOVE the height!!! though the air con sucks!!! boss ordered 4 stand fans.. still not here yet.... hot hot hot wei!!!

Quenton and mua... it was his last day (one of the reason for the makan too...)

very nice guy... will be missed alot by the whole team

(is it my eyesight or do i look thinner here?)

half the team reached TGIF's and some were stuck in the ever-oh-so-famous KL jam... the ones that reached first were the guys who drinks, so they "started" first.... it was chance to be out, so i had my Long Island Tea.... rosie, the one here more KAU wei!!!! O_O and even before food came i was already feeling extra happy! hahahhaha

anyway, the others came and everyone was so bising... making fun of each other and just having a great time.... then we all started to order, no one knew what to eat, since we had a budget to follow, RM40+ per person, so i had BBQ chicken.... wonderful i tell u..... (but i think Chillies would be better...) and it's HALF a chick! then suddenly everyone was standing and tasting everyone's food!! ahahahah! boss1 and boss2 came over to try my chicken and while they did that, i went to try their fish!! nyeh nyeh nyeh!!!

aahh... with the Canadian bastard! hahah that's wat big boss calls him! cause he does dodgy stuffs (nah.. joking).... Winson was in Canada for most of his life... just graduated and came back home...

with Raymond (half Eurasian) and Malisa aka Lisa - Raymond's a new Tech lead, smart ass and Lisa's sweet and quiet, but when she talks... heheheh

crazy pic.....Quenton and Noreen (oh btw... Noreen is a pro player in Paintball!)

part of the group....

everyone was getting to know each other, on my left was Andrew, he's some fella, he was in Notthingham Msia and went to Notthingham for his final year... he was telling me all his thani stories there in UK.... great fun!! hahhaha and everyone started telling their bad "episodes" of drinking....

then on my right, Winson.... chinese msian but stayed in canada most of his life, went there when he was 9 or something... not too sure... and he just came back after graduating... he too had his own fair share of stories to tell.. heheheh.... how are the odds in having 2 canadian ppl (or the fact ppl who went to canada) in the team? hahahha

after makan, it was desert time... some of us took the set, so it came with desert.... quite nice, the portions are HUGE so everyone was sharing..... *pics on TGIF food will be in the next post

... blur yet "impossible" azali.. he pervs EVERYTHING everyone says!! u can't get a straight answer from him!... and very cheerful and talkative Farah....

i think the whole team just loves to camwhore!!

smartypants and canadian with macho Donovan - such a gentleman..

Lisa and Fairul - funny guy (look at the cheesecake! huge innit?)

ooooo... here with Khoo (boss #2 (on the left) - supervisor la... staying in Sri Gombak.. sometimes he sends me home AND brings me to work on Saturdays - cause i work at 7am! where got bus?!) and Eddie - BIG BOSS! and very techy and knowledgable (on EVERYTHING!)

Khoo mabuk dee... can't get a last decent pic with Quenton before he leaves, he HAD to masuk campur and put his head in the pic!



toasting to the 2 agents that will be leaving.... YAM SENG!!!! if u look closer, u can see my hand on the left - hidden

here's Zaki who came in to the dept the same time as i... has 1 more week before he leaves.... sigh....

so after makan, dessert, it was toasting time.... had a short speech from Quenton and Eddie (boss) insisted of us to bombard him with questions, PERSONAL questions! hahahah... u can just imagine la what questions these ppl will ask! hahahah..... anyway, he's leaving to go to his dream job, so we're happy for him, sad to let him go cause he is one of our best agents, taking about 40+ calls in 12 mins!! when he leaves, his calls will all go to us... :(

then it was Zaki's turn, he too gave a speech, quite a touching one too cause i came in together with him and for the first few weeks he was my only friend..... so it was sad to see him go... but then again, he's off to a better job so we're all happy for him.... everyone was saying that aiya, he's the only one who's "NOT supposed to drink, but is drinking" leaving.... boss said, for ppl like that, they should hold the beer glass using their left hand! wtf? O_o

by 9+ ppl started to go home, cause it IS a monday and there's work the next day, can't stay out late... all in all, it was a good outing, good that i got to know my fellow agents better, and we were in a more free-like environment.... not so tension.... esp with boss, heheheh... but it's alright, he's a cool dude...

now, lets see where will we be going next month or so... heheeh... chillies? boss suggested karaoke.... noreen and boss suggested paintball.... hmm.....

a happy blog

from now on it's all about happiness......

i've been in too much trouble with myself through this...

so it's all gonna be good....

OMG....

to those who KNOW me... i'm not a football person, and guess what i'm doing tonight??? i'm going to watch tonights big game - Liverpool vs Man U.... I KNOW!!! me, watching football?? hahahhaha....

i've decided i'll just get out with what ever chance that i have, so since my beloved cousin andre is going over to his friends place for the game - i, put on a thick face, and asked him if i could join, and quickly offered to bring my Vodka Vanilla with me.... heheheheh (sneaky uh?).. so he asked his friends if i could come over, and said yes! as long as i bring the booze! hahahahha OMG i'm such a bad influence, they do NOT drink during games, and here i am, a pathetic, depressed girl, joining them for FOOTBALL AND bringing booze..... sigh... hahahaha....

hope i won't be a wet blanket for them.... O_o

*now i need to do some research for the game tonight...

i've noticed

that the crowd in KLCC are NOT shopping! they're just standing OUTSIDE the shops but not IN the shops.... if u look IN the shops, no one wei! hahahhaha..... the only shop that IS full with ppl is Vincci! hahahha....

i have no idea what these ppl are doing there and where they are going.... as for me, i go to KLCC and i know where to go.... but these ppl, they're just standing around, walking here and there like they don't know where to go.... it just makes the place look..... (u know what i mean)......

the train

i take the train daily.... EVERY SINGLE DAY... except for sundays la... train TO and FROM work... so somehow u will meet or recognise some certain ppl....

practically half or nearly all commuters have plugs in their ears, listening to dunno what music... some earphones let others hear them too cause the volume is on max.... then some sleeps in the train and heavily "nods" at ppl... those are quite irritating especially when u sit next to one... then u have some "itchy" ppl, staring at every single female on board, i'll usually try to distance myself and ignore him... then u have the foreigners and their look says, "what the hell am i doing here!" and then again, u get those white guys holding and hugging asian girls like they have been in a relationship for YEARS only hearing her telling HIM what is what in malaysia.... then u have students, elderly ppl, mostly working ppl and sometimes beggars.... i sat next to one beggar and OMG!!! the smell!!!! unbearable!!! i had to move seats.... then u have ppl pushing and shoving u just to get in the train! they even cut the q! yes, they now have a q to get in the train.... it's mostly at "happening" stations la... the lonesome ones, no q....

it's been 2+ months, and i've figured where to stand in the train without getting squashed.... the trick is to actually get that spot!

it's funny, what u see on tv about malaysian ppl on trains is the same thing that i see here.... and i seriously hope i'm not one of them, or at least TRY not to be like them.... but i guess as long as i take the train, i AM them..... oh, how i miss the easy life in penang.... though not the traffic la... hehehe.. so far, i haven't been stuck in KL traffic yet - i DON'T drive, remember.... damn!

....uh?

i'm having "writers block" .. i can't write...
