What a woman should know...



****************************************************************************

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...
enough money within her control to move out,
rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something perfect to wear whether the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
re-telling it in her old age....


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
one friend who always makes her laugh.... and one who lets her cry...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...


A WOMEN SHOULD HAVE...
a feeling of control over her destiny....


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself..


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone.... even if she doesn't like it...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust, whom she can't,
and why she shoul dn't take it personally...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .
what she can and can't accomplish in a day ....
a month...and a year...

Pesan seorang teman..

“Kadang² Allah sembunyikan matahari....
Dia datangkan petir dan kilat....
kita menangis dan tertanya-tanya,
kemana hilangnya sinar....
Rupa²nya.... Allah nak hadiahkan kita pelangi..”

Isetan's member preview sale

Went to Isetan The Gardens last Friday. Hehe curi tulang.. mentang-mentang boss takde kat opis, suka hati kitaorang jer. Anyway, it was such a great sale. Best giler. Byk barang nak tgk but at a very limited time.. sigh!

Anyway, i was very happy cos i get to buy 4 pairs of shoes.. yay! All at a very good discounts. Nevertheless, i was also pretty upset by one thing.. huhuhu! Few weeks back, I bought a sunglasses at this eye optical in Summit. It was a pretty good discount and so i bought it. But on Friday, at Isetan, i saw the same exact sunglasses but with a much2 lower price. OMG!!! Sedey nyer..

So, on the way home from office that day, I called up the optical. Spoke to one of the sales person named Nicole. I told her that i was very upset because i found the same sunglasses that i bought with a cheaper price at Isetan. She took the model and the series number and said that she'll call me back. Within half hr, she called. She said that she has talked to the supplier and said that Isetan should not underpriced the item that much. But because i am sort of a regular customer there, they agreed to give me further discount like what Isetan offered... i was like yay! right there on the phone.. hehehe..

And so, a lesson to be learned.. bak kata zul - lain kali survey few places dulu baru beli.. - hehehhe... yeah, i guessed he was right (this time) but i guessed i was lucky to get a refund.. hehe...;p

Dreaming of you..



Zul said I can have this come Year 2009, is he for real?.. sigh.. *joker!*

Sunday evening

It's freaking dark outside and the rain shall fall in i think within a couple mins more. Been lying in front of the tivo since the noon. It's my lazy day. Been skipping classes for god knows how many weeks now. I wanted to drop the paper but I need the study leaves so, what the heck, am just gonna do the exam with nothing in my head that is relevant to the paper.. huhu..

Bought 2 dvds last nights - penelope & sex and the city the movie -. Oh yes, i've watched it at the cinema when it was released last 2 months. But since my dear sister, Izza, has begged me for the dvd and promised to bathe my fluffly in return of the dvd, i agreed. And so, I watched the movie again last night with her and AGAIN this afternoon with my other sister, Wati. Three freaking times and i can still laugh out loud as if i don't know the dialogue is coming.. sigh.. ;p

Ok, it's started raining now. And am hungry.. oh god... 2 more hours of tummy crumbling. I'm craving for mcdonalds.. the crunchy french fries.. and they are having this hot & spicy shakers for the french fries now. Yummy!

okie dokie.. i need to be off the sofa now to shower and get something for iftar. till then.. cheers!

A night out

Date : 29 August 2008
Venue : Skybar -> Bangkok Jazz -> Arab Restaurant (Next to Bangkok Jazz)

A night out with Faisal, Rila, Tupac, Nana, Vivid and the most suprising of all my dear dzul. Haven't seen him for quite sometimes. Best giler jumpa dia. Still old dzul. Actually the plan was to go out on Saturday night to celebrate Merdeka. But due to some reasons, we had to bring the date earlier.

Tupac sugessted Skybar @ Traders Hotel Roof Top. Never been there but was told by a girlfriend, that the place is nice. So apalagi, sumer ok jer la. So we went there. Yup, the place is very nice. I love the landscape so much. I love the ambience. But i think it gets stuffy after a while. Cam panas plak at one point tu. And the food there is extremely expensive. Dah la Rila & i were darn hungry. So nak alas perut i ordered for chicken spring rolls and it cost me a boom. Sigh!

Due to the hunger, we left Skybar and headed to Bangkok Jaz for supper. With confidence, sumer masuk (through the side door next to where the stage is) and of cos sumer yg tgh layan band tu tgk la we all masuk kan. Then dah duduk sumer, only to know from the waiter that the kitchen has closed. So x bleh la nak order food. WTF! So dgn muka yang agak malu, sumer bagun and kuar from there. It was damn hilarious. Within a few mins, yg ramai2 masuk tadi sumer kuar. Malu betul!

Owh well.. so here are some pics taken masa kat skybar. Tak dapat amek byk pics cos batt dah kong.. hehehe..
