Photoblogging: Lovina at its best!

2011-02-21T19:30:00.002+08:00

Lovina has always been in my list whenever the word BALI being brought up. I failed to set my foot on this part of Bali during numerous trip before so the moment I moved back to WM by early Q3 of 2010,I made it a point that for my 18th *cough* birthday,i'm going to be in Lovina. On top of all I will be seeing the Dolphins!!

I tailored quite a crazy itinerary for this trip. Practically moving places around the island 3 times throughout the one week stay. A total of 400km traveled in which about 340km traveled by MOTORBIKE. By my standard, That is Crazy!

Studying the route before taking off from Tanaya. Just to make sure that we have a Plan B should Plan A didn't work.

First move was from Legian to Lovina via Bedugul. Take off at 11am.

Ad hoc rain coat.. I called it a canvas poncho. Purchased for Rp30,000.00 at a shop just outside Mengwi.

The weather was very nasty when the uphill ride started and we were practically going against the heavy downhill bound stream. By the time we reach Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club in Pancasari, the road was filled by flash floods. Made a brief stop by the small temple on the roadside with the hope to continue our ride when the water subsides only to realize 15 minutes later it wasn't, so we spoke to local lady and told her that we wanted to get to Singaraja, she showed us another route through Gang Maruti and exit to Jalan Pancasari-Baturiti again via Gang Kedangsong. It was INDEED a very wise choice, I can imagine being stuck by the roadside for hours and surrounded by water. By the way Gang means Alley/Small road.

Making a stop right after Lake Bratan (Beratan) Taking a break from the cold wind and rain during the uphill ride.... (Very sejuk ok!!.) And not forgetting the helmet I was wearing has no glass shield, d'uh!

The irony was as soon as we reached Singaraja, it was all bright and sunny eventhough it was approaching sunset. Had to make a stop to take off the poncho because I was getting a 'hey its hot, why are u wearing a raincoat?' stare from the people.. Heh!

I was told by my German host that the boatman already come looking for us during the afternoon. Such a dedicated guy. He came again to see us later that evening to say hello and remind us that the next morning trip will start at 6am.

The Jukung/Balinese Traditional Boat.

The good thing about making a thorough research before embarking on a trip is not to set a high expectation. So when we were introduced to the traditional boat as our main of transportation that dawn, I was happy enough to know that despite the size and the very basic feature of the boat, at least the boatman has safety jackets for his passengers just as I requested in my email.

Off into Bali sea we go...

Sunrise. I turned a year older feeing very contented.

And meet (chase more likely :p) the dolphins..

Aren't they cute?

Lovina is the opposite of everything Kuta has to offer. It stretched about 10km (only) along the Bali Sea coastline. The people are friendly (OK, this may sounds too cliche) but you can feel the sincerity when you talk to them. The female masseuse of the spa where I went to on the night we were there really did her job GREAT. Even when you enter a shop to look around they won't bug you until you approach them. And with its location very close to Java, you can get Halal food very easy around here.Oh,and the seafood is quite cheap compare to the overrated Jimbaran beach.

Second move: from Lovina to Candidasa. I picked the route via Tianyar and Tulamben. It was basically a coastal cruise from northwestern to the east side of the island. You will have the chance to see real Balinese kampungs, houses and lifestyle along this route. And I realize it was the time of the year where most Hindu Balinese families are doing their 'family temple' praying ceremony. Came across a lot of ' Upacara Sedang Berlangsung' signages throughout the trip and also Men in Sarongs and Ladies in their Balinese Kebaya.

Midway to Candidasa. Somewhere in Abang.

I made a last minute changes by contacting my Indo speaking Australian host, Shirley to get a seaview room and Look what I've got: My room, Sunbeds, 10 steps and its the sea! I can even see ferries moving to and from Lembongan and Padang Bai, feel the waves hitting the shores and enjoying the sea breezes.

Candidasa. The least crowded places i've been to so far in Bali.

Third move from Candidasa back to Legian via Padang Bai and Sanur and had a lazy day around Legian. The next morning we went to Ubud. Ever watch Eat,Pray,Love? I'm sure you are familiar with this place even if you've never been here.. Ubud has join the league of Kuta and Nusa Dua. Over crowded with tourists and ridiculous price of goods and foods.

Paddy field in Ubud

Ubud Market. Too bad things are over priced here. So overrated!

Kedoganan Beach just dowsouth from the Denpasar Airport.

Legian Beach at 1 pm. I was so contemplated to jump into the water..

And guess what i've come home with.....

A very sunburnt skin. :D

But who am i to complain when things just fall into the right places like what I've planned. Even a leaked roof which drips water onto my face at 6am in the morning wasn't a good (enough) reason to over take the contented feeling. And on top of all, Thanks the loyal travel partner who I believe has suffered an emotional battle throughout the trip to stand my 'antiques'.. I might have several other travel partner but nobody else do it better than him..

He claimed this trip has made him Bali OD-ed... :p

p/s This time around,I've discovered that I'm such a pro at saying No,Thank you when being approached by those annoying street peddlers. :D

Not Complaining

2010-11-21T15:12:00.002+08:00

Minor blogging like Twitter seems to be taking over my life as well as this blog.. *sigh*

In this rat race world we are living in now, we wanted things get done fast and spot on hence why twitter is the ideal place to reach each other..

So again, pardon me if i don't update this blog as often as i used to.. :p

Test

2010-07-19T17:56:00.001+08:00

I'm trying to Blog from my iP.

And I've been thru one helluva test recently.. And it is yet to end..

One at a time

2010-03-09T20:46:00.005+08:00

Last month, A friend who flew in some hundreds mile away from a neighboring country asked me if i still update my blog.. My answer was "Once in a while".

Well, actual reason why i rarely update this blog are as follow:

1. I don't know if people still go to this blog and read.

2. The usual excuse given : I have been VERY BUSY!

3. Running out of material to write. Not that I've been writing anything that useful all these while either. :p

4. I blog so that my family know whats going on with my life while i was living in West Malaysia. Now that i have move back, what's the point of writing if you can always walk into each other's door,right?

5. I found FB and Twitter are much more interactive.

So there you go..

Don't hate me for i have procrastinating in updating this blog.. I have somewhat foresee 2010 is going to be a busy and exciting year for me before i decided to mellow down a bit next year..

Much Love,

JSB

p/s thats a total unrelated subject line eh? pardon me..

Planning a reunion for this group of friends in Bali Next year...

(p/s thats including you @nidnod!! :D too bad u weren;t there with us in OJ when we took this one)

Ultimate Island-II

2010-02-19T15:18:00.003+08:00

Yours truly braving the tropical heat at Legian Street

Oh How I Miss This Place..

I could be travelling half the world to a land where nobody speaks my language, snowy, amazing architecture, great vista, scenic skylines, land of blooming tulips but It's this island where i feel at ease the most, BALI.

I don't see myself going there anytime sooner but I do have plans. Unless *cough*somebody*cough* wanted to surprise this Bali-freak? I wish! Otherwise i'll just wait till my plan takes it place. It wouldn't hurt to wait.

Oh, I just hope the doplhines in Lovina are still there. They better be.

How not to love this little darling..

KAP : An action / to pinch using 5 fingers (instead of two)..

At the age of 1 yr 2 Mos, Lulu invented this.. :)

Back at there again...

2009-11-15T20:59:00.002+08:00

with million accusations thrown at me..I rest my case! I am not going to bring myself to that state of suffocation ever again. Thats was what i've told myself when i opened up my heart again and exposed it to risks some few years back. I welcome all sort of risks but NOT this one. NO,THANK YOU! Did i made myself clear there?

No,i'm not having mid life crisis. I'm (far)too young for that..But this is getting confusing..One minute i was told to stay and the next minute to go on with my life alone.

Oh seriously,I don't need the drama..

I'm thankful for everything so please, cut the drama out and be realistic.. I'm exhausted!

Satu cerita tentang manusia
Coba ‘tuk memahami arti cinta
Benarkah cinta diatas segalanya
Hanyakah itu satu-satunya

Yang menjadi alasan untuk menutup mata
Tak melihat dunia yang sesungguhnya
Dan menjadi jawaban atas semua tanya
Yang kita harap mampu mewujudkan sebuah akhir bahagia

Buka mata hati telinga
Sesungguhnya masih ada yang lebih penting dari sekedar kata cinta ooo..
Yang kau inginkan tak selalu
Yang kau butuhkan mungkin memang yang paling penting
Cobalah untuk membuka mata hati telinga

Adakah kau rasakan kadang hati dan fikiran
Tak selalu sejalan seperti yang kau harapkan
Tuhan tolong tunjukkan apa yang ‘kan datang
Hikmah dari semua misteri yang tak terpecahkan

Buka mata hati telinga
Buka mata hati telinga
Coba kau buka mata hati telinga
Mata hati telinga

Mata,Hati,Telinga-Maliq And D'Essentials

Much Love,
JSB-KK

13

2009-09-24T15:27:00.004+08:00

I can't remember much being 13. But i can tell you i enjoyed that particular age..

Fast forward 13 years later, I now sorta know why. FATE never seems to fail to amuse me on how it works with our life..AMAZING!

God's willing, 13 years from now i will remember what it's like being this age..

Hopefully..

p/s Eid-Mubarak to all my Muslim family,relatives and friends! This is a belated one. :D

Me and the beach. Do u notice that My 2 and a half years old Gray-MaryJane obviously needs a facelift..any sponsors? I've found another Crocs sublet here in KK. Kalau mau kirim from KL pun boleh!! :D :D

2 months later..

2009-09-12T22:12:00.003+08:00

The minor ops on my right side eye was 2 months ago..

What have i become eversince then, PARANOID..

I'm too afraid of the possibility of reoccurring. Not a nice thing to think of. And not a good thing to go thru all over again..

I still don't have the guts to go out frolicking in the sun, on the beach eventho only God knows how much i wanted to do so..

Whenever I'm driving around during day time i will make sure that my only sunnies left is with me..(my fave FCUK was stolen and the other sunnies was broken in Soekarno Hatta Airport last two weeks) As much as i know it has no quality Sun-rays protection and soooo damn over-sized, i'll still put it on..

I hope this paranoid is a blessing in disguise..

All i know is I DON'T WANT TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE EVER AGAIN.period!

p/s: Less than 10 days to Hari Raya..Baju raya will be recycled! lagipun i will start working by 3rd day of raya...Fun eh?

And again..procrastinating..

2009-08-19T21:34:00.002+08:00

I find it's hard to find a good time to write..

Ermmm Actually I've been busy.

No, actually I've been having writer's block!

Oh, sebenarnya malas..

How do i find KK so far?

Interesting. One minute i feel at ease, the next one i feel so miserable.

Well, i'm still adjusting.. The good thing is i've started rounding up my friends here.. It does help a lot.. :D

And oh, Selamat Berpuasa to all My Muslim Friends..

xoxo,
Jess

The Big Thing..

2009-07-30T23:27:00.002+08:00

Is it about time?

Tell me.

How do u know it is the right time?

I have my plan..i just don't know when..

So suggest me a date please... :D

muchos grazie

The Bug...

2009-07-29T21:15:00.005+08:00

OH HEY!!

It's been almost two weeks..been working my ass off eversince i landed here in TARAP land..

And after almost two weeks, the KL-sick finally bugs me.. :( Even worse when weekend draw closer, i will have no plan and worse, i know i will still end up working..

I know i have friends around here. I was born and breed here but hell,in case u hadn't notice it's been 9 years. Most of my friends here already lead their respective life (mostly married with kids). And what is there to talk about? The same old stories when we were 17? I don't think they are interested..

And I'm still not fully recovered from the surgery and constantly feeling fragile..Believe me when i say all the mixed feelings i've been having might lead me to a major emotional breakdown..But i hope i won't. I'm trying my best to enjoy this new phase. It just feels odd not to know anyone..

To whomever has revolved around my 9 years KL-Life stint, I MISS you guys..(Oh well,i know u guys miss me too :P )

Much Loves from KK,
Jess

p/s Was given choc-sweetness on all three farewell do i attended..Thanks Guys.. *weep*

HEY!

2009-07-16T12:38:00.002+08:00

It's been a long time!

The four weeks countdown has been stretched to be a 6 weeks instead. For those who has been around me all these while, you surely understand why..

I'm still busy sorting and packing..Almost 10 years worth of stuffs and not to mention the emotional baggage too!

For almost ten years Borneo=1 day or up to 1 month max of vacation, my life is so used to juggle between two things: either work/study or friends.. Comes monday, Borneo=forever (maybe!!) and i will have to juggle between work,family and friends.. will 24 hours a day sufficient for that? we'll see..

Ahh yes,in case you guys don't know and been guessing it, YUP!!I'm moving back for good (maybe!)..

Ok,let me enjoy my final days here, fulfill those farewell do requests and say my GOOD BYE...

Countdown:4 weeks..

2009-06-06T00:48:00.007+08:00

It has been official since i tendered the letter last two weeks (after considering all options),it's just i was given an option for it to be an open date.

But today, the news has been announced,all the way from Auckland.

And yes, it is Sad. I'm sorry if you are bummed.

Hence,i'm hiring again. If you are interested in working with the World's Largest Technology Distributor, drop me a message, :-) Thank you.

And I am so gonnna miss this place (and whatever comes with it) where i've spent my life at for almost 10 years now. Especially Places i used to live,places i visited and most importantly, peoples i met and be friended with..

God's greatest test..

2009-05-09T10:09:00.004+08:00

I believe that there is only one creator of this universe, that is GOD. Even i believe religious are created by GOD to provide us varieties. Variety leads to challenge, and challenge comes in all sort of form. And in my case, i'm facing GOD's greatest test NOW..

The old man of the house is definitely not getting any younger.

The usual sickness that he's been having since his 30's like high blood and such is no new news to me BUT this, THE HEART condition is absolutely new and MAJOR.

My heart sunk when i received the text msg on early Thursday morning. I called kakak and him up and i decided to fly home. I spoke to my boss in Auckland, made ticket reservation, handover urgent jobs and left the office two hours early, went to collect my ticket, went home and pack and rush to the airport. I landed in KK around 10PM and went straight to the apartment. I then rushed to Tenom on Friday morning.

When i see him on Friday, Physically he doesn't look a bit like sick person. Must be the pride in him. which always overpowering everything else.

And at time like this I'm totally torn. I'll be leaving again tomorrow..i hope to return again in few weeks time.. we'll see. As of now, i'm playing my daughter role to make sure dad is going to be fine. period!

On another note, Happy Mother's Day to all Mums out there.. :)

p/s I'm touched with everyone's concern. Thank you so much for all the prays and hope.

**An Entry made in Tenom.

OFFERED!!

2009-04-27T16:41:00.003+08:00

In the midst of juggling between tasks, almost losing my mind to monday madness, i received an offer.. :D :D It really made my day today..

" X is far from your QUALITY, make my life kelam kabut. You need to GUIDE her because i don't have enough patience.."

Terima Kasih. THANK YOU. Danke. Arigato Gozaimas-u. Grazie. Muchos Gracias.

2009-04-26T08:38:00.002+08:00

Sangat!!

Unless your are currently living at the other side of the globe or u've been stuck in your hse basement, i am positively sure you probably have noticed it.

I know i should be jumping for joy but the heat has been biting my sking 24/7 since the past few weeks and drained all my energy out. And a lot of people fall sick (including me too). It sucks. :s

OKAY PEOPLE, Sick or not, I'm going to enjoy the very last bits of this weekend, because i won't have any next week.. :s Blimey, i won't.

Off now..

p/s So Glad that a lot of people are making good progress lately..

WHY?

2009-04-24T17:04:00.003+08:00

I am pissed!! Annoyed. Irritated. Mad.

can't even bring myself to write a proper entry. I have lost my touch in writing angsty post. Guess its the maturity and ageing factor. Kalau dulu anytime boleh curse, but now ....*sigh*

Things get very demanding and challenging.

Oh nevermind..

Happy ANZAC day.

2009-04-19T12:23:00.000+08:00

Mood: Homesick

2009-03-31T17:11:00.004+08:00

Urghhh..My holiday is officially over (read:ruined) the moment i received that phone call this morning. Well,it's part of my commitment and responsibilities, so as much as i want to curl up in my bed much longer,the next thng i knw i walked into the office and spent 6 hours there. And they called me crazy woman. haha!

Btw, the weekend i spent at my parents' was superb. Being around the girls really reminds me of the great childhood we had.. And i met my bff too!

Le BFF: Maryanne. Upperstar,KK

And reuniting the whole 8 generations of Sagalons turned out to be a successful one. Walaupun few people choosed to bail this event out (in which i can't understand why) Now what left in me is homesickness..*sigh*

I must've been really lost track of time..

IT'S MARCH PEOPLE..Q1 almost over, say in 4 weeks time..tsk. 2 days ago was my lil brother's (Ann) birthday. Not really lil. He turned 25th.Whoaaahh, terasa sangat antik myself bila adik sendiri turned suku abad. tsk.

Finger crossed it's going to be an exciting month. We moving offices, Ann coming here with a cousin, SUNBURST KL 09 and the highlight is, Me going home. horraayy!

Last wkend i went to Perak. Was with the MMC people convoyed to Trolak and afterward went straight to Manjung to visit Ashraf's mom and meet John. Remember John? One of my FNR gang..Dan kaki bergossip tanpa segan silu pun bersidang selama almost 2 hours diselang seli dengan aktiviti makan. Very nostalgic. And the sea breeze. *sigh*

Kepoh as usual

Oh, i need to doze off now. Lately i have this girl Yuna's Deeper Conversation stuck in my head. Shud grab that CD at wondermilk that day. hehe.soon,i will.(kalau ada lagi la CD tu..)

g'nite peeps..

No longer a virgin

2009-02-21T16:37:00.005+08:00

To ths whole virtual via mobile phone stuff (fyi,i've been relying so much on laptop and dsktop whnever i go online,tsk!).. Haha! My datacard device went kaput aft 2 yrs of beautiful rship with me n celcom.. Guess it's abt time to hit the blue cube nw.. And oh,i survivd a rough week. I worked 12 hrs/day the entire wk and it wears me out.. Tsk. I feel bad for my team for all the harsh acts they've seen frm me whch could be easily mistaken as an ego barrier btween me n them. But then again, i'm just tryng to do my job the best i could.. Oh,its someone's bday tmrw, wheee!

Commitment Month..

2009-02-12T19:45:00.003+08:00

Hey..Its February.. Been procrastinating For Ages. The excitement part in my life has passed. Bulan ini adalah sangat padat dengan commitment. So,Sekarang adalah masa untuk focus, get stressed and work hard.

Minggu ini juga adalah minggu yg agak emotional. Selain missed Grammy sebab lupa apply cuti, i was flooded with non-addded value tasks, getting one bad news after another. Well, if you don't see mee updating anything in the nearest future, thats mean i don't survive this week. Heh.

Dan sekarang ini selalu homesick. I'm glad to tell that i'll be joining my family for the Aki Sagalon Family Gathering in March in Tenom..Hoorrraayy!. That would be the only thing i'm looking forward to now.

And this Song is very IN with me now..

Radiohead-High & Dry.

Two jumps in a week, I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy.
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop.
You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop.
You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk.
All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever
had.
It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away.

Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

2009-01-31T18:10:00.006+08:00

SUNBURST KL 2009 is back..Ahhh, i guess by now everyone of you shud've known abt this. But Artists line-up will only be announced next friday. The day i'll be in Penang.. (itupun kalau no complications from the minor-ops this coming tuesday..)

Among other events in this quarter are Rihanna concert on Feb 13 and Mr.A-Z on March 4.

Flying in from 9000 miles away are my Big Boss on the second week of Feb..

As of today, i'm still torn between two places on where should i go tonite.. Lets see mana satu jadi ok.

p/s i'm busy googling sling bags to get Nazrina buy for me. She's flying to Paris Van Java nxt week.

Updates..

2009-01-25T01:01:00.004+08:00

Its one hour past midnite..I'm busy facebooking. Just came back from cruising KL roads. Thot of hitting HRC (Big Band is performing NOW!! woot!woot!) but ditched the plan at a very last minute. Before that I was @ Cineleisure/The Curve. Bowling and diner with the guys. It was a Fun outing eventho quite a number of ppl bailed on me.tskk!

Hanging out with the guys remind me of those days when i used to have my Friday Night Ritual (FNR) gang. I haven't meet any of them for ages. I think the last time we were able to gather at the most number was in PD during reunion in Dec '07. Lamanya. Nostalgic pula tiba2 ni..:s

I think its abt time for MJ to get a new partner. Its not that i don't like Whitey (the current partner) but there seems to be no chemistry between them anymore. Whitey is not functioning at it's best anymore. To come and think abt it, they've been partner for almost two years and for digital gadgets, 2 years is the max for it to perform in top condition in it's orginal form. Looks like i need to visit those Sony Style store soon..(shopping lagi!!)

Here's what in my calendar now:

Feb 3: Optha Visit
Feb 5: Going to Penang
Feb 6: Waitangi Day/Min's bday
Feb 8: Tiyyagu's wedding reception
Feb 9: Big Boss in town
Feb 11: Optha Review
Feb 13: Rihanna's Concert
Feb 22: AFRo's
Feb 23: Manai's
Feb 28: Lil Bro's

Nah, belum pun masuk february my calendar full already..

These are the faces as of Dec 2008. And the team is definitely expanding.

**Pics Credited to Nazrina. She took the pics flawlessly..

In my eyes, She IS!

Happy Birthday Mom. Love you to Bits.

Been feeling all sulky the whole day today thinking that i'm going to miss another of her Birthday.

sobs..

THANKS For Everything,Mommy..

p/s Bersempena dengan Tahun Baru Ini terfikir juga untuk berpindah rumah but when i think twice, rumah ini pun saya sayang juga..heh.

Perhaps the only picture i have where my eyes look okay. This one was taken 5 days after i had the minor procedure in 2006..

I paid a visit to the specialist today. I'll have to come back again in 3 weeks and probably going to undergo the same thing again..Oh, deja-vu!! I have no choice though. The last time i checked with my doctor few weeks back, he advised me to have it done the earliest possible, sooner or later it'll reach the centre of the black eye and affecting my sight..tsk.

Wish me Luck..i need that.

DO u know the existing of CH 808 and 809 on Astro?

They are doing a Re-RUN of Roswell..wheeeeeee!! joy! joy! After a long 7 years. This was my lil bro and me fav tv series. And the same tv series made En.Hafiz Omar had a crush on Katherine Heigl (dude, i still keep those msgs and testimonials in my FS okay) Heh.. If only aliens are really that Hot, i wouldn't mind to date one..

Hari ini Sunday. Sangat malas untuk buat apa2. I woke up at 8.30 sebab last nite i dozed off quite early. Exhauseted from the previous nite outing and the afternoon road trip to Malacca to attend Aseng & Erin's reception. After the wedding we met up Syam Iqbal for a short chit-chat (read:bohoooo-ing Man Utd) and otw back we dropped by Seremban to visit AFRo's lil sis. Karaoke plan was cancelled too.

OTOH, i visited UTAR the other day, thinking of taking up a some FL classes. Also i've thought of pursuing the thing i've developed and worked so hard to fall in love with : Art & Design. We'll see about it.

I'm Happy and Feel comfortable with the team i lead now. Despite the few flaws, i think that they are all awesome.. :D Thanks Team..

Well, here's a hope to us to achieve whatever we wish for in 2009.. I know this is going to be a tough years, i hope everyone will find a way to walk thru this stormy weather.

Kenapa?

2009-01-07T20:36:00.002+08:00

This is regarding to my previous post on My Loved Ones on Dec 16..

Ramai yg tanya, why is someone missing from my list? Forgotten on purpose? And i have my own explaination for it..

The fact that HE forgot my birthday, and i still can't find a good reason why is HE behaving like HE is now..I've been trying to figure that out for months now. *sigh* Kakak been telling me depressing stories every now and then, part of the reason why i keep having second thoughts on visiting home. Not that i don't miss home, for me the best idea of avoiding 'the couple' is by not landing my feet on home-land..blearrghh...

Oh, this running nose is killing me..The best prescription would be Mum, cupcakes, OJ and donuts.. :s

Hello 2009!!

2009-01-06T21:13:00.001+08:00

Sorry for not updating anything for ages..

I've been busy-enjoying my break from work..heh!

So, what's my new year resolution? for 2009 i didn't make anything new. i just wish for the most basic thing : to be a good person to my loved ones, friends, colleagues and everyone..

i'll write more soon..

Pleased and Agony..

2008-12-29T01:41:00.004+08:00

En Benitez must be very pleased now..

As of 1600 GMT (0000 +8 GMT) The Reds leads by 3 pts with 20 pld..wooohoo!

Even if The Red Devils win their nxt game against Middlesbrough, there is still plenty of pts to catch up. Not that i'm underestimating them, We all well aware how agressive this so called Red Devils can be but hey, at least The Reds on top of the table now..yaaaay! At least until the year ends..got it??

Wonder what En Hafiz Omar comments will be like on The Blues draw with Fulham (??). Dia mesti akan cakap ni la satu2nya kawan ppuan dia yg layan footie and always has good points to pull his legs..*wink*

On another note, i'm having a terrible toothache..Damnit!!

And wanna know how i overcome the agony? I treated myself for a new hair do which cost around 240 bucks and also went for a karaoke session. I Sung my heart out (shamelessly) to Dido, Tony Bennet, Dewa 19, Ungu, ABBA, etc numbers. Tmrw most of the dental clinics will still be closed for the Islamic Calendar New Year, so i prepared myself with a 5 days supply of painkillers. Unless it becomes terribly unbearable, i might walk myself into ER. Haha. Even lil things seem to irks me now. *sigh*

Need to take a nap now.tmrw morning i'll have to check on my team, they are working (NZ kan x cuti) U guys are the BEST!!

Chelsea not to Win the game against Everton.. Boleh?

Hahaha.. Jangan Marah ya Hafiz..

God answered my prayers when The Gunners failed to beat The Reds down last nite..

Why The Reds when people surrounding me being fanatic abt MU?

My parents and brothers introduced me to this team 15 years ago and i fast fallen in love with the team. There was a brief moment in 1996 when i tried to switch side by supporting MU (Eric Cantona punya pasal la ni) but it doesn't work.. So here i am, after 15 years, still an avid fan and supporter of The Reds..

Oh En. Benitez yg hot everytime Summer Ends..tsk

Hello December..

2008-11-30T20:20:00.006+08:00

I celebrated my 16th Birthday (again) on thanksgiving.. :D

Why 16th? Adalah.. :D :D

Interesting fact: This year i received more than one birthday cakes. My team bought me a solid choc cake from Bee, Bubba Gump gave me their signature birthday cake, the girls of TOG bought me a choc cheese cake from Secret Recipe and Puan Sri bought me a box of half dozen cupcakes from Wondermilk.

Since my bday falls on weekday and month end, I was really out of the mood for celebration. No thanks to the workloads..

I just had lunch with the team after work in the afternoon and then TOG came visiting me at my apt when i was abt to go to bed at night.

Just so i will remember this 16th Bday again, We headed to Berjaya Hills to spend the weekend @ Colmar Tropicale on Friday evening and On Saturday, we went to catch Dreamz Show in Genting. It was something Puan Sri Fiza has planned since few weeks back.

It was a good but tiring birthday week.

AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY WISHES. I REALLY APPRECIATE THEM.. :)

Could it be..

Feeling a lil bit nostalgic these days..

And risau..merajuk pun ada..

And of course tear works too.I'm too afraid of possibilities.I'm no iron-lady.

Disappointment pun ada juga.

The more i think of it, the more i feel powerless. Especially when i think of What Mum and Dad would feel.

Had the major argument last night. I gave the ultimatum. Pandai pun takut. Totally wasteful! Makan pun tidak sempat. Sempat la jadi surveyor Hartamas sq walking from one end to another end talking over the phone. bleh!! The lesson i learnt, i MUST avoid to be in the same room with them. Unless they change their mind, and i'm not going to!

OK,Negative thought aside.
1. Glad that i'm vidconf-ing everynite with people at home. I requested to vidconf-ing with the meows soon..

2.To the 'Jaga'Man: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! lets count the candles.. 29 is it? :D :D May you'll always find what you wish to find

Oh, i hope i'll get into much better mood towards weekend..

Oh LUCK, where art thou...

CHICKEN.UNLUCKY.CLUMSY

OH GOD, I THANK THEE FOR IT'S FRIDAY..

It's all started on monday when i wanted to go to work. If u are familiar with Sprint Hway u probably know the Section 17 Exit. I never really actually made a stop there even if the traffic light is red because there are not many cars around that time. What happened was, on that very morning i tried to be a good citizen and i did stop behind the white line when i reached the exit because the red light is on. I don't use A/C while driving on 4-is am so the window glass on both driver and front passanger side are half winded down, also my speaker is at it's usual loud volume. After 10 secs i stopped there, there was this sudden smell. A very nice smell. I look right. And i look left. And then it hits me, There is this huge cemetery area about 15-20 ft away from me. And guess what, i shifted the gear to D and drove away to Sec 19. Not even once i look on my rear-view mirror. CHICKEN? I am! heh!

And then on tuesday, buat kerja bodoh di ofis. No thanks to that particular routine. Can't put the details here tho.

Then comes wednesday, in my effort to avoid hitting a bikers, i accidently terlanggar one drum filled with concrete which scrathed Reddy's body. I called that UNLUCKY. But then again i did it again this morning. That one i call CLUMSY. Twice in a week!!So there goes my flight tickets money. I have to repaint Reddy.

SO here comes weekend. I hope it'll be a good one. Tadi pun i finished working at 9pm NZ time and i stil have a lot in my head *sigh* A very dear friend provided the gang some tickets to watch A1 GP Race in Sepang this Sunday. I'm still in doubt of going. My only concern is the weather. PANAS!!

I wonder if anyone will take me to Sekeping Serendah next weekend. Really wanted to go there. *hint*

November Updates..

Life has been VERY Busy.. kesian kan? And if i ever find some free time, the first thing i do is catching up my Sleep..

And i think i'm doing good in coping with the new role. (Aha! Sudah naik pangkat)..sounds macam org govt pula kan? Feel so weird when your colleague start calling you boss wlpn x perlu sbnrnya.These people memang saja making fun of me.Well, maybe my rezeki ada with this place. And i'm glad i have such a good team.. Being evil and nice in the same time bukan senang tau tapi thats what people call responsibility..

Upon promotion, few projects already lining up. So now memang busy dengan meeting, meeting and meeting.I have yet to get use spending extra hours at work. Lagipun i skip my break hours and i have my workout regime to catch few times a week. FUN? maybe..but tiring.

Selain try not to obsess with work, i'm avoiding myself from being sulky over the whole saga happening back home. I have to remain positive. And i'm making some effort too to make sure damage are within control. Macam kakak cakap, we have to focus.. This is the biggest challenge i'm facing now. Believe me,it's very depressing..

Whatever it is, Do you know what's coming in 9 days time? Apa ya? heh..:D :D

Millennium Friends..

2008-11-04T17:34:00.005+08:00

Can't believe its been almost 9 years since our paths crossed for the first time in June 2000 and fast become friends up to this day.Yay, inilah some of my millennium friends.. Sham,Fauzan,Nisa and Nadya..

Pictures were taken last weekend.. We met up at Section 7,Shah Alam for a (VERY) rare night out. Despite Man Utd on a game that night, Fauzan gave it a pass..Hoorray!! Kalau buat reunion kena ada Sham because he's the directory aka kaunter pertanyaan. Tanya apa pun dia boleh jawab, and with details too!! Seronok sangat2 dapat jumpa these familiar faces again. The one whom doesn't change much is Fauzan. Still sama like the old time, VERY quite but once he open his mouth,standby for a laugh-works..Orang lain asyik pandang the five of us sebab gelak x peduli kiri kanan..When we about to leave tu baru la masing2 sedar diri and look around esp Nad and Sham, takut their colleagues nampak..heh!!

Activity with the boys hanya untuk malam itu, but the girls continue the next afternoon. We went for lunch at the nostalgic place ever, Section 2. If you ever studied in Shah Alam, you probably know that Section 2 is like the core place. We fulfilled Ms.Nisa's craving for bandung-cincau of Pegaga stall..Thank God the taste remain unchanged..masih macam dulu-dulu jugak!! Selesai Makan of course la cam-whoring session, and we drive past the old terrace unit that Nad and Nisa rented together with 10 other girls.. dan juga melawat deretan kedai Section 2. It was such a great reunion especially for Nisa and Nad after those untold and unclear stories, right girls?
Hopefully akan selalu dapat opportunity like this. And my biggest hope is that we will always remain as good friends..

No harm kan? the best way to keep myself from malls and e-malls..nama pun shopaholic kan? heh! I wish i'm in Tenom so that boleh run up and down the Perkasa Hill..

On the other hand, received such a good news at work today. But since belum confirm so mari tunggu dan lihat!!

Before i forget something..Happy 27th Birthday Rosalind!!

Actually she was called to manage Dad's business and also jadi domestic police so that boleh monitor some issue..So yes, i am pretty much alone now..

And I miss the beach too. I mean real beach like Tg.Aru!! I should've go there during my recent trip instead of to Anjung for my evening tea.. No regret tho because i am well aware that its not like i'm going to have such chance everyday.

tsk!

The meminang entourage

The recent trip i had was a real test to everyone's emotion, including me..

I missed my initial flight at 2.15pm on friday which left me with no option, i had to purchase a new ticket. In which i did. The flight left at 5.10.. Thanks to lil brother ann for providing what i need the most on that time.

Upon landed headed straight to meet Faye's Dad in Donggongon to pick up the cupcakes i ordered. Sorry no pictures sbb hati tengah risau byk benda. Then terus balik Tenom. Reached home around 10-ish and everyone kinda busy preparing for next day. Mom was in the kitchen with her sisters..You can tell how much she's having by the look on her face but she scream happily the moment she realize that i was there standing in her kitchen. I hugged and kiss her and then kakak and Aunt-Ida start playing with the hantaran cakes. Sampai berguling2 on the floor dibuatnya.. They even made fun of me (non-stop) for missing my flight..ciss!! Well, i love them to bits..

The next day, i was the offcial runner for the day to get whatever they run out of from town..But sempat grabbing my fave breakfast food: charkoi. I will blog abt this soon. The doa selamat was held on the first floor so we removed all the furniture to ensure enough space.. As soon as the doa selamat finished, guests start coming in and left till 2 am..Penat? Of course..

Some of The Jimbun's granddaughters

The Jimbuns..minus Uncle Udin and Nenek Puan..

Guests..friends and relatives

On Sunday we cleaned u everything, had bfast and lunch at home before we left for KK at 4.30. Kakak had to catch her 9-is pm flight. She checked in for her flight around 7pm and we went to Tg.Aru to grab our comfort food, smoked chicken wings..heh!

Comfort food..the best!

The next day i went to grab some souvenirs for my colleagues and then back to the apartment to get ready for my 4-ish pm flight. Only to find out it'll transit in Labuan and a possible delay of another 4 to 5 hours. Even for MAS? unbelieveable..Lil bro said he will send me blanket and pillow. ciss!! So i opted to transfer flight and get the 5.10pm..

Me:pissed off..

All in all, it was a good trip because i met peoples who matter the most and know me best..I'm sorry if i didn't get the chance to meet some of you because i only had limited time..maybe next time kio..

Borneo evening sky..So Long..

Congrats to Charlie..You are a big man now!!

Salam Eid..

2008-10-02T15:28:00.010+08:00

Sudah masuk hari ke-2 pun..We,at IMNZ were very busy. Ntah apa yang busy sangat pun i don't know but yesterday was 1st day of Oct, so report memang sambung menyambung untuk disiapkan dan need to be hantar to vendor on top of daily tasks. Vendor pula buat2 dunno when kita hantar report. Paling menyakitkan hati vendor2 in China and SG(where most my agenices are) also on PH, hantar email dapat auto reply.*sobs* pathetic,innit?Nasib baik la Aussie didn't observe eid too(which is sangatlah impossible kan..), or else memang demoralize habis..

So here goes what we had and how do we look like on Eid Morning..

the nasi himpit i brought..instant!!

The lemangs Hafiz brought..

Cookies brought by Ary

Jejaka2 IM-NZ yang tengah demoralize.. but still dressed up..walaupun hanya ke office.

And Us, the girls. .semua pun asked to wear baju kurung. Amanda's and Niki's are brand spanking new baju kurung..:D

Seronok? adalah sikit2 tapi during the morning memang semua nampak tad sad..

Selamat Hari Raya all..

Oh BTW, i had my first Bintang today..IMNZ had this programme for us to appreciate our colleague regardless their position. I get my star from Ben, an associate in Albany office..Thanks Ben. Baru dapat 1 star then i f*cked up one cisco stuff..*sigh*

oh..ohhh! i have to pack..i'm flying tmrw!!

p/s credit to Niki for the piccies..saya kan sangat sibuk,manala ada masa to snap piccies.. :D

2008-09-30T20:23:00.003+08:00

Ketupat-checked
rendang-checked
cookies-checked

Yes people, we are going to wear our Baju Raya to the office together with the foods, Pot Luck Style!

Unlike last year, this year i'll be spending Eid in the Office since kiwi kan not observing eid as cuti. But we are not going to demoralize each other so we planned something so that we can have fun on our own too. But of course everyone is yearning to be with their loved ones at this very moment

To all my friends and Family celebrating Eid, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri..Have a joyous celebration.

OK, gotta check on the ketupat now.. :D :D

My first official day being alone in the apt. Last nite Kakak came for a sleep over after we went for a massive hunt for serunding around Damansara but end up buying cheese cake.. :D :D

So after finished work today i went to 1U to look for some stuff that would help me fixing my pink kebaya. Lil did i know the accident i had in May could've break my heart again, it didn't leave any scars on me, but on my most expensive piece of kebaya..*sigh*

So hunting for kebaya-fixing-stuff also turned out to be a fail mission, i end up buying groceries. Memandangkan pagi tadi saya bgtau my neighbor next cubicle (read:hafiz) that i want nasi jagung to be in our Office Raya Fest menu (unfortunately it's not even listed in the four set of menus suggested) so i decided to make some on my own. With some of Hafiz and Ary's advise in my head of course..

So here's what happened.. Recipes are from here..

The not so perferct nasi jagung, omelette, acar buah and acar nenas..
And here's what i had for desert.. Vanilla Ice Cream topped with Hershey's shell choc and strawberries.

Happy? Of course i am.. :D :D Nampaknya seminggu ini adalah proses eksperimen di dapur..

Obstacles..

2008-09-28T10:45:00.003+08:00

Baru ja pasang niat to go Ikea, then kakak called up tanya what i've been up to today. She asked me to come with her to S.A, beli serunding katanya. And i think she hasn't finish buying stuff for charlie's engagement. I wish obstacles like this will always come to me. At least it'll prevent me from indulging to my worst habbit:shopping for the sake of shopping..*wink*

So i agreed to go with kakak, tapi before that, saya kena bersihkan the apartment..

And the thot of me driving stick for the rest of the week is driving me crazy..(anyone willing to be my driver?) Hari ni jalan mesti jam.

Ini semua kiwi punya pasal la..

On a lighter note, my high school friend Achim pregnant sudah! She got married last May..Maybe i should visit her once i come back from Sabah.

Hari Ini

2008-09-27T19:58:00.002+08:00

Emosi kurang baik. Walaupun saya ini jenis orang yg agak firm, raising a voice on AFRo always make me sad afterwards..

Maybe sebab stress..

Maybe sebab kurang tidur..(or was it lebih??)

Maybe sebab i don't know what to expect..

Maybe sebab ini adalah sebahagian drp proses for such a big changes..

Maybe because i'm confused..

I hope i'll gain my stable emotion back before monday comes and most importantly before i fly back to Sabah..

p/s shopping eid for me this year hanya la two buckles utk kain batik lepas saya yang agak banyak. Since i have a long term plan in which moolah is the main concern, maka saya harus belajar berjimat cermat.. That doesn't sounds like me eh? :D But the two buckles are really cantik..sesuai sangat dengan kebaya2 jawa saya..:D

p/s p/s sekarang ini saya kena start writing dalam bahasa melayu sebab takut the kiwis paham..huhuhu

Awesomeness!

2008-09-24T17:02:00.002+08:00

My Leave application is approved. I've got the confirmation email on monday and happily making Hafiz jealous. His application is yet to be approved and Eid is only a week away.. Pray hard my friend and thanks Bosses!!

So, Jika tahun 2005 saya berhari raya di Penang, 2006 around KL & PJ, tahun lepas saya ke Bandung di Jawa Barat Indonesia, this year it'll be more meaningful because i'm going back to borneo.

The good news

2008-09-07T11:22:00.002+08:00

I'm going to have additional sister in the family. A sister in law.

Huhu..

2008-09-06T12:34:00.003+08:00

I finally have a weekend to do nothing.

but i'm struck by writer's block. Not that i'm a (serious)writer anyway. heh!

will come back when i finally (really) wake up.

Racist??

2008-09-04T20:49:00.006+08:00

I tried to dig in my good ol' DBP dictionary but found no such word. It could be because it was an old version. (Told you that the latest dictionary i bought was the LAROUUSSE'S French-English Dictionary..heh!)

Of late such issues has been raised up, for only god knows what for. Forget the idea of catching the news on TV or read the online news portal (i've figured out i could save RM1.20/day)or even on the real newspaper for a news that worth the column or space,one actually could lost count how on many 'racist' words are there in a single article or news..

Agree or not,To come and think about it, i know we couldn't find the starting point on whose to blame. We are so used to being segrigate according to our skin colour, language we speak, the faith we believe and the lifestyle we led. Its a nurture come by nature. And often being told to always be ahead of each other.*sigh*

What happened in our case are:Race A claim they own this land and name it on behalf of them(ada betulkah? please trace back your family trees to at least 10 generations back, you'll be suprised to know which land you actually come from and you claim the others as Immigrants?? Funny eh??).. Race B said they brought prosperous to this land. Race C said they worked hard for this land. And there is Race D which made up a mix of this and that and claims that they (used to) have valuable sources in their land but somehow went missing *wink* to accomodate the other races need. So pathetic kan?

What makes thing worst is when we started having association on racial basis. Not long after that comes politic parties on racial basis. And next thing we know we have have schools, college and Unis on racial basis.

Truth to be told we do need each other. So stop whatever propaganda that could break us apart from each other. Race A wouldn't get the mandate from the people in general if it weren't for the helps from the other races people. Go and do the breakdown on your own, it's true. So stop the whole supremacy thingy. It breaks other peoples' heart. Especially those who help you to gain your winning. You may have the highest number whitin your coalitions but HAVE YOU EVER WONDER IF IT WEREN'T FOR those you claimed your slaves (because u are the supreme,remember??) THAT YOU WON'T BE WHERE YOU ARE NOW?.. And OTHER Should be thankful for whatever opputunitie they've had here.. Well, its just human's nature innit? One could never feel satisfied..

Whateverla..

I believe this land deserve something much better..This country needs a strong,firm,secure and REAL Govt to lead the people.. One or two puppets for the show will be ok but then again. let them have the minor role for our laughing pleasure (once in a while).. We've had WAY TOO MANY LAUGH already..

So Far..

2008-08-23T00:06:00.004+08:00

Weekend is here.. I AM SO GLAD!!

My trainer show me those papers she has in her hand that i've processed since i started in IMNZ 6 weeks ago.And I showed her what i have in my hand. She said she can't believe i've done all those works in just less than 2 months..*wink*

If you are residing in New Zealand and buying gadgets or stuffs like Lenovo, Brother, Samsung, Belkin, Asus, etc..the chances of it coming thru me is 70%. And this week i started on Cisco too. I hope i won't mess up much. I am well aware that human error will always exists but i hope i will put it as minimal as possible.. :D

Oh..i need to stop here..The Nanny is running again..

A.B.S.U.R.D

2008-08-17T21:52:00.002+08:00

Thats the word..

I've been wanting to write for quite sometimes but i don't have the time..

I'm focusing on what's new in my life now and for me to feel comfortable with it is by giving my best attention. Plus i'm aiming for something to happen. If i ever get it, i will let you know, as for now i'll keep it to myself.. :D

So people, forgive me if i'm not writing in the nearest future.. I wish i do have the time like before to do a constant upadates but thats not going to happen, at least for now..

And guess what, I survived my first month in this whole NZ-thingy..wooohooo!! I hope thats a good sign.

Summer Olympic is going on now..M'sia only hope for Gold has gone just now.. And there will be a by-election by end of this month.. More non-sense will surround the people..

And guess what, Fasting Month is coming too. Can't believe its been a year since the previous one..

Alright people, i need to tuck myself in..Early day tomorrow..

Simply tired..

2008-07-25T21:04:00.004+08:00

I know 'IF' is a Sinful Word.. but then again It'll never stop to make me wonder..

I don't see the point for me to read newspapers, watch news on tv or even hear it on the radio these days, because 90% of the contents they dumped on us stand a chance to be a total b******t!!

But what makes me wonder the most is 'What makes these morons think that we,the normal citizen of this beloved country;Are stupid?'.. Oh c'mon.. YOU wanted so much to prove to the world that we are going for the so called developed nation, yet YOU plant the image as IF we-the people are nothing but puppets..geez!!

Well, politic is unique in its own way. Being the dirtiest game ever played, audience of this game is on the risk of being extremely mentally-tired, whilst the player will always have the energy to be on-the-go..

And yes, i'm one of those audience..And i am simply tired..

When will these morons stop play the game and get back to work?? Oh nevermind, you elected them to be the player, remember?

They play to fool you around..

They play to get our money into their pockets..

They play to drive a fancy car..

They play to put act on dramas..

They play to be selfish..

They play for their own comfort..

The best part is, they play to make u suffer..

Politicians are dirty, INSIDE-OUT.. no matter how fancy your Armani suit is, no matter how comfy those leather seat in your car, no matter how dark your glass tint is, no matter how shiny your golf-club is, in my eyes-You are still dirty..

Prove me wrong..

Pssst...

2008-07-19T20:32:00.000+08:00

you know wht? i think i'm going to wear that fringe again..

Ahh yes, that fringe.. :D

Notice..

2008-07-08T20:21:00.002+08:00

I hope some of u are already aware that I'm NZ-oriented now.. I mean, my hibernation hours..

Meaning that..

I'm already at work when most of u are still under the duvet..

I'm already out of the office by the time u just finished lunch break..

Less hassle on road traffic..

Hoping that I'll not develop that accent.. :D :D

Living the dream..

2008-07-05T11:31:00.006+08:00

Lil Bro, Ann and his friends are going to Bali in 2 weeks time. I seek help from the gentleman above, Pak Gunadi to provide transportation service for Ann and his friends to tour the island. Terima Kasih ya Pak Gunadi. You always been such a big help, even if it was an ad-hoc request..:D :D

To Ann, GG, Sal and Nenet... Have Fun in Bali!! Just Pray hard that its not going to rain there..:D :D

Finally here..

2008-06-30T00:05:00.000+08:00

Here comes my final week to work with my current Employer.. My official last day will be on July 9th but i bring it forward to July 4th..

Its gonna be an emotional week,blimey.. I haven't practise saying g'bye yet..*sigh*

Wish me Luck people..

The song stucked in my head..

2008-06-29T10:22:00.006+08:00

Yesterday i brought down to the car the Ada Band CD i bought in Jakarta few months ago. Its hard to find one here in KL..Played the cd over and over again along the long drive to cheras then to kajang and back to PJ.. And now, this one kinda stucked in my head.. :D

Dulu ku mencintaimu
Terasa bahagia
Namun kau hilang tanpa jejak
Membuat bertanya
Apa salah diriku

Hapus memori itu
Tak semudah dibayangkan
Bagai hantu di siang malam
Mendera batinku

Bayang dirimu
Begitu rasuk kalbu

[Reff:]
Akal sehat ku berhenti
Kala menatap indah matamu
Hingga melumpuhkan jiwa
Kau mencuri perhatian dan sayangku
Takkan lagi ku pungkiri semua

Saat kucoba tegar
Hadirmu kembali
Ada dera di sekujur tubuh
Lelah tuk berpikir
Sakit ku melihatnya

Bawa sejuta maaf
Entah dari hati
Letakkan janji sekali lagi
Di atas segalanya

Akankah ini
Hanya pelarian tanpa ujung

Akal sehat ku berhenti
Kala menatap indah matamu
Hingga melumpuhkan jiwa
Kau mencuri perhatian dan sayangku
Takkan lagi ku pungkiri semua

Akal sehat ku berhenti
Kala menatap indah matamu
Hingga melumpuhkan jiwa
Kau mencuri perhatian dan sayangku
Takkan lagi ku pungkiri semua

Akal sehat ku berhenti
Kala menatap indah matamu
Hingga melumpuhkan jiwa
Kau mencuri perhatian dan sayangku
Takkan lagi ku pungkiri semua

Aku memang cinta padamu

Akal Sehat-Ada Band

I hate to utter ur name for i will miss you..

I hate to see u again for i will miss you..

I hate to think of u again for i will miss you..

I hate to take a look of ur picture for i will miss you..

I hate to hear the song fo i will miss you..

DEFINITELY MISS YOU..

Of late,i've been thinking abt home a lot..Maybe i should go back and visit my folks. My path crossed with someone very familiar recently. And it does made me home-struck even more. Its been a long 9 years..

I'm wondering if LDR will really works if ever i decide to leave this place.. One day i'll surely leave, for i know i get bored easily..

I miss home. Everything about it and whats coming with it. There is no other place..

And owh, the homely hug..*sigh* i need more of that..

The pros and cons

2008-06-22T13:58:00.003+08:00

Proses memujuk hati. I have been doing this since i got that first phone call.

Pros:
Higher Salary.
Career changes.
Flexible working hours.
Multi-racial colleagues.
Its a new position, so i'm not replacing anybody.
TRAVEL opportunity.
Casual wear on Friday.

Cons:
10 days Public Holidays.
No more 5-7 months bonus.
No more uniform. I have to arrange my wardrobe again.
I have to learn to wake up at odd hours.

So, Japanese boss in Rawang is out of the question now which left me with two more options. Stay and get upgraded or move to the new company. So i've decide to move to the new company. Whats with the unpredictable car market these days, i think its about time to make a move.. So, no more travelling on my own for the next 5 months. I'll be working based on NZ hours and also NZ calendar..

So what am i supposed to do between 2pm to 6pm starting July 1st? I think i'm gonna learn to cook, take up that Drum class, go to gym, read my books, continue my cambridge class or whatever.. I'll have to wait till the routine start and i'll see which one i'm more likely capable of doing..

le bouche-a-bouche

2008-06-17T22:08:00.005+08:00

what a cruel cruel world..

REDDY had the first kiss..Some lady bumped into 5 days old REDDY!! And what makes me mad is the Lady Refused to take responsibility on her action.. She stupidly offered RM30 to compensate the damage which is so unreasonable.. She said take it or leave it and drove away... Luckily managed to captured her stupid car pic and showed it to the police.. She offered RM30 for Reddy in which we didn't take.. But she still gonna pay a hefty RM300 when she renew her next roadtax.. There goes ur fuel subsidy Bad Lady..

Au Revoir

2008-06-16T00:11:00.002+08:00

I bode farewell to this baby last week.Has been under my TLC for quite sometimes, capturing both happy and sad moments for me without fail..The fondest memories i had were during my birthday trip back home last year and also My 2007 and 2008 series of Jiving thru Java-Land trips; It has been my loyal companion when i was there ALONE..I hope it'll continuously do the same where ever it is now..

Quit or Upgrade?

New department or New Company?

Donuts or cupcakes?

Baguette or Risotto?

Love or Like?

...............................TORN..so TORN..So confuse..

Deru sang ombak bersilir ke pantai
Disambut alunan nyiur melambai
Rembulan megah di atas mahligai
Tersenyum melihat kita berdua
Angin membawa lagu cinta
Sejuta bintang bermain mata
Seakan rela dua insan
di dalam skenarionya
Antara Anyer dan Jakarta
Kita jatuh cinta
Antara Anyer dan Jakarta
Kisah cinta tiga malam
Kan kuingat selamanya
Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta-Sheila Majid

First i've got the call at the end of last week. When i get back to work on wednesday, was told to fill up the upgrading form. And today the boss approved my transfer application that i sent to him few weeks ago... Its either i stay and get upgraded, transfer to the other company for a new position or just quit here and join the other new company..

Hatiku sangatlah keliru..Celaru..Confuse katanya.. *tsk*tsk*

Almost..

2008-06-10T22:50:00.007+08:00

You fingertips against my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you’d never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Goodbye My Almost Lover-A Fine Frenzy (One Cell In The Sea)

What I'm certain is I've fallen for you,
from the very beginning..
What I'm uncertain is How to be With You,
When everything around me seems to be against it..
*confuse*

Just finished CSI:NY-ing and suddenly gotten verrrry emo..*tsk* (read:silly)

By The Way, Do you remember this..

And this..

Both images grabbed from here

They are back on Malaysian TV on June 14th..Its been 8 years..:D :D Excited!! Sooo nostalgic..

How Weird..

2008-06-09T14:36:00.005+08:00

Of Late My preferences seem weird..Instead of Sleeping on this comfy bed in my bedroom..

I choosed to sleep on that Thai Daybed, in my living room, between my Sony Bravia 32" and this laptop.. :D
Weird eh? ;p

p/s I've got a phone call from NZ..wheee!!

Rojak Day..

2008-06-08T23:33:00.004+08:00

No, its not abt food..I've been having this mixed feelings today..

The Exciting Part is..
Euro '08 kickstart last night..And Czechoslavakian rocks..Oh, and Portugal too!! Oh this is soooo exciting.. Too bad my fav two teams are in the same group.. *tsk*

The tad sad part is..(i know i should be happy instead..)
My lil Step Brother, Erwing aka Ong get married today..And i'm not even back there at home..*sobs* Yes people, i do have step-sibs..I used to have two mother when i was little.It lasts till i was 15..So its official now that finally there is one of us from my Dad's bunch of kids get married.. Congrats Brother! You are my brother too no matter what (they say)..

Naik 2: Petrol Station Party..

2008-06-05T23:52:00.007+08:00

U missed all the FUN if u werent there... Heh!

Was abt to leave the office on Wednesday and suddenly everyone been feeding me the news..

"..Guess what, petrol price is going up tomorrow to RM2.70/litre...Go and fill up ur tank now.."

and here's my reply..

"..No more car, remember??."

And some fire me back with the same questions..

"..(in thick chinese accent) oh ya hor,i forgot..anyway how come u and the other friend didn't jump out of the car like Amin did?.."

Me : "..i'm tired explaining this..."

Luckily i'm working with a company car..My boss (who is enjoying their incentive trip to Espana at this very moment) allowed the company car to be used temporarily until the new one come out..Another Lucky thing is, the car fuel is claimable..

These piccies taken swhere around 6pm on Wedneday @ Seapark,PJ.. 1 hour after the official announcement and past working hours..Cars start lining up at every petrol station i can see.. Even have to take a diff route to get home instead of the usual Section 17-Sprint Highway-Tropicana, took the Sect 17-TTDI-LDP-Sprint Highway-Tropicana..

As if the full tank gonna last forever,right?

I knw it will constantly naik till the price reach RM4.00/litre..I think The Said sub of RM5Bil for rebate to car owner is non-sense..Why don't they just use the RM5Bil to subs the price.. Why came up with such package??

I'm not against the govt, But this is getting ridiculous..

Countdown :

a. 7 months till my next increment..

b. 1 yr 7 months till the next adjustment of my salary..

What a cruel..cruel world..

Don't panic...

2008-06-02T13:06:00.004+08:00

My previous 2 posts generate panic from people surrounds me.

The best part of it all, Mummy has no idea. So please, anyone who is capable of directly in contact with her, DO NOT TELL HER. Will tell her myself once i'm over this trauma phase. I can't afford to make her jump on the plane at this very minute.. For those who knows my mum, y'all probably know how dramatic she can be.

I'm OK people. All good. Very much alive. Just a lil bit pain here and there but it recoverable as per said by the panel doctor i visited yesterday. Plus i'm already supplied by meds...

I am seriously OK.

I don't own this picture.Grabbed it from here

Trauma? Go Figure...

2008-06-01T21:09:00.004+08:00

We received a text message from Che Ayu just now.

'Kakak aku lalu jln tu ada keta accdent lg kt tempat yg same skrg N dpn sket ada lg 1 accdent 3 keta skali.dia ckp jln tu hjn lebat mmg nampk air btakung'

Then i remembered yesterday at the police station when the officer on duty asked the Towing Man if it was the 'tempat biasa'? What was that supposed to mean? Don't tell me its common to hear people die at that place..*sigh*

Oh c'mon...do something..

Circled in Red is the 'tempat biasa'.. The place which nearly took away our lives, and many others too. The place where our car skided for almost 1 KM yesterday.

If I'm not traumatized, then what should i be? My head, shoulder and neck still painful. Can't get up on my own whenever i lay down. Can't even have a good sleep. I'm a gajah now.

Encountering death..

2008-06-01T07:39:00.007+08:00

Forget Penang..*sobs*

Had an accident yesterday at KM422 PLUS Highway heading north. Thanks god everyone is OK.

The weather seems to be against us when we reach Rawang area around 4.30pm. The rain started to pour heavily. Che Ayu somehow failed to control the car and it skided clockwise few times hitting the highway divider..The car stopped facing north and we switch on the hazard light, AFRo (who was seated at the back) went out of the car, I held Che Ayu hands and within seconds another car hit on our car again and make it skided few more times and when the car stopped it was now facing south. I totally lost my mind for a while. Che Ayu and I get out of the car immediately despite the heavy rain and I, started looking for AFRo. I was SO AFRAID! I thought our car hit him when it skided for the second time because he was already out of the car. I'm a mad woman yesterday. I can't picture anything IF another uncontrolled car hit our car again when it was facing south and Che Ayu and I were still in it..*sigh*

Whatever is is,I'm Glad We are all OK. Only the driver of the other car that hit us were injured on his head because his spectacles broken. He was thoughtful to even ask me if I was OK hence he was the one whose injured. His friend who was with him in his car is also OK.

And look at the poor Kelisa here.. I assume a total lost condition. It is now in Bukit Sentosa Police Station in Bkt.Beruntung,Rawang and will be towed to Perodua Service Centre in Rawang...

*sobs*

p/s AFRo and I secretly guessed that the Perodua Kelisa merajuk because we've been talking abt handing it down to Alang and we wanted to buy a new car...We are sorry Kelisa.. *sobs*

The Goodbye Mail..

2008-05-24T19:52:00.002+08:00

Disclaimer:I don't own this pic. Grabbed it from here

After 4 years, i finally have the guts to make my broken heart mail(read:e-mail) public. I mean, there were many others but this is the one thats really brought me down... Yes people, i still remember that fateful Monday evening.. And it was part of the reason why i started this blog...

"Awak,Org minta maaf pasal ape yang jadi semalam......memang awak dah tengok mcm mana org semalam,,,,,tapi semua tu org tak nak tunjuk kat awak,tapi semalam org minta maaf coz mcm mana org ni menangis depan awak atas segala kesalahan org pada awak......org tak sengaja awak.....bukannye semua itu org yg rancang!!!! org minta maaf, org tahu awak dah banyak tolong org.....tapi org tahu mesti keyakinan awak kat org dah semakin pudar, org memang ikhlas nak bekawan dengan awak! org rase bahagia sangat dapat tengok awak seronok duduk dengan org....tapi........ "

Translation..

"I'm so sorry about last night..You've seen me last night..It wasn't my intention to show, but last night i cried infront of u for all my faults on u..I didn't plan it all!! I'm so sorry. I know u helped me a lot, but ur trust on me could've been fading away as well..I honestly wanted to stay with u, I feel so happy when i'm able to have u stay with me..BUT... "

Kuala Selangor Revisited.

2008-05-19T18:34:00.006+08:00

The last time I was here was in 2003 for my studio subject :city-centre project. We were given 10 days to get all the infos we might need for our individual masterplan in which includes re-naming the town. For my masterplan, i choosed to name this place Bandar Sri Malawati.I still keep the blueprint with me till now but the whole written report submitted in hard copy form to my lecturer and my soft copy were all gone together when my old pc that i used at my Shah Alam apartment went kaput. *sigh* so much memories there..

So there i was back there again last night. Leman invited few of us for a seafood dinner at a fishermen village called Pasir Penambang. It took us almost 1 hour to reach there via Sungai Buloh and Ijok from my place in Petaling Jaya. We dropped by his grandma house in Jeram to visit his sick mother before proceed to Kuala Selangor. The whole stretch of coastline in Selangor are mainly occupied by Javanese people. And there's a minor group of Banjar and Bugis too. Leman himself is Javanese. His grandfather came to Malaysia many-many years ago to start a life here, While his grandma was born here but her parents came from the Java-land too. I'm amaze to see his grandparents speaks Java to him but he replied in Malay.. Its even cute to see his grandma trying to start a conversation in Malay but end up speaking in Java as well..And oh, has i mentioned that his grandma is a cool 80 years old lady? Aaah yes, she is...

The weather in KL hasn't been really that good lately..Especially at night when i'm back to the apartment...Sangat panas!!.The temperature has been increasing. Feels like its even hotter at night compare to daytime. And oh,Masa siang juga terasa lebih panjang. The sun rise at around 6.45 AM and sets at almost 7.30 PM. Or was it just me??

And apparently not only the temperature been rising, harga barang2 groceries too! Especially Rice..If me, the kind of person who will cook once or twice a week feel pressured from this phenomenon, What about those homemaker who cook everyday?

Seriously, when is the turn for my salary to be increased? *sigh*

Charitable Monday night at Ruums KL

Last Monday, Farah joined AFro and I to Ruums for the The Outer Rim show. This show organized by Life College to raise funds for its students scholarship. Kakak and some of her colleagues already there waiting for us. Local jazz songstress, Mia Palencia was the opening act then followed by The outer Rim performing 2 Sets before Ning Baizura took the stage performing 3 songs and then The Outer Rim back again on the stage for their last set. Kakak said some of the songs was only composed the day before. :) After the show, the three of us grabbed dinner at a Mid-East restaurant in Jln Damai. I had a chicken kebab for the night...

Kalau diikutkan hati, adalah sangat malas untuk bangkit dari tidur dan datang office..I'm practically married to this office.I've been spending time more here in this office more than anywhere else.. sesuatu yg tidak sihat bukan? Tapi memandangkan yg i'm not some mogul's daughter yg boleh duduk bersenang lenang without working for it, maka jawabnya i'll be spending my day at work jugalah today.

Paling terasa skali when mom told me this 'U girls confirmed ur leave from work 1st, only then we can decide when ur brother engagement going to be held!'. Wah,one minute terasa seperti very important person, but the next minute i know it was a cynical statement.. heh! I know my mummy veeeerry well okay..

Talking abt Mom, tomorrow is Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day Mummy.. I love u to bits! We all love u to bits. We know we are tough kids to raise, especially me the one who always bring headache to u. Nevertheless, i know ur love for us is unconditional.. *hugs*

So, here are some stuff i'm going to look forward for the next couple of days..

1. The Outer Rim jazz show @ Ruums,KL - 12 May
2. En Auth b'day - 22 May
3. My Stereo Rocks @ Zouk
4. Manai's Kenduri Doa Selamat @ his residence-24 May
5. Achim's Wedding @ Bangi - 25 May
6. Norid's Wedding @ Gombak - 25 May
7. Norid's Wedding @ Alor Setar - 31st May
8. Manai's & Fiza Engagement Day @ Kota Bharu - 31st May

I don't know how to squeeze my time on the 24, 25 and 31st May. My company are going to do the SSD AGAIN! and i'm afraid i have to work all day.. Oh, Sunburst tragedy once again..

I'm down with fever..

I first suspected something was wrong when i woke up around 4am and feel such a heavy sore throat and headache.. I went to drink some water and continue to sleep only to find myself wake up for work at 7.45...Luckily I managed to reach the office at 8.26am despite the heavy traffic jam at the Taman Megah Intersection..

After lunch just now i requested from my new boss, Bob to go to clinic and head home afterward.. Permission granted and here i am.. Feeling dizzy due to all those medicines i took but still able to blog hopping.. :)

Its Only 5th of May..

Yet there are so many dilemmas..

Right this moment i'm torn between Penang/Alor Setar or Kota Bharu. Penang/Alor Setar is for Norid & Farah's wedding, meanwhile Kota Bharu is for Fiza & Manai engagement party.. Both event are equally meaningful and important..

And i've been confuse either to still go ahead with my plan to go to US or just stay here. I should be handling over the documents and get ready for Visa interview by now but i'm not ready to leave behind what i have here..So I choose to stand still right now..*sigh*I Don't know. There are so many pros and cons..

And i'm also torn between wondermilk or cupcake chic... J.Co or Big Apple Donuts.. GAP or Guess.. Picnic or Indoor birthday party..

And I'm not ready to bring anyone home.. ANYBODY.. any person.. Just YET... I'M SO NOT READY. Once biten twice shy. No matter how stressful the pressure is, once again I'M not going to bring anyone home to meet my folks, Just Yet..

*sobs*sobs* I hate being pressured... i hate dilemmas..

I'm confuse...again.
