Apakah blogku diserang VIRUS?
Terkesima sebentar to see the list of comments.. adakah virus telah menyerang? owh no! actually, this is not the first time.. b4 ni pun cam kena jugak but because i was regularly updating, so each time i would just deleted it. But this time around.. dua to my lack-of-leisure time... i haven't actually logged in the blog. Just blog-walking jer everyday... so bila hari ni cam terasa nak meng'update.. nah... list of anonymous comments... ceh!

Remember me
Went to watch this movie @ the curve today. Despite not so great reviews i read, I love this movie to bits. It's a nice movie about love, loss, pain and grief.
This movie is about Robert Pattinson who plays as Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn't think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. Soon, hidden secrets are revealed, tragedy lingers in the air, as the circumstances that brought them together threaten to tear them apart. Set in the summer of 2001, Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one's life.
The only villain is the flawed script and an unwanted ending. The script leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions, where as the ending is left for the viewer to interpret. But all in all.. i give this movie 4 stars out of 5. Ignore what others said, just go, watch, feel and enjoy!
"Gandhi said that what ever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it.. "
Gue lost tahap gaban!
The question is, why do i feel so lost when he's away?
Maybe my sisters are right after all.
Oh... when is he coming back...? :(

2 weeks already
Alhamdulillah... the past 2 weeks was awesome. All the nervousness, sleepless nights (konon) and anxious before the start of my new employment were just for nothing. I felt very much welcomed there. People are friendly and yes my thoughts were completely wrong! Getting to know new people was the part that i felt very much nervous. But thank god, it was like very easy to get along with them. All my negative thoughts about them not being as bonded with each other like when i was in my old office were completely wrong. They are indeed very close with each other. Just like when i was in my old office. After 2 days i can already join the crowd, bergelak ketawa like they are not new people that i just met pun. I am so thankful for that.
Work wise, despite of now being a peak period, I can still singing and dancing and laughing while driving back home just before sunsets. For the first time in the last 5 years i can actually do that plus no working weekend for me just yet. Truthly speaking, i am not busy with compliance work. I am just assisting another group leader with reviewing some work under her portfolio as she is quite new to the service line and does not have so much experiences in compliance. Tapi assist jer kan, so memang as and when required, baru dia mintak tolong.
So what did i do for the past 2 weeks? goyang kaki? no.. no.. no.. 1st week there, i was already been given 3 advices to do. A week and 3 advices... woo.. did i say that correctly? yeap! and in the 2nd week, my partner put me on a project on payroll doc review to work alongside with a manager. The project is until october and we are completing it phase by phase. Very interesting, very good exposures. Yeap exposures.. things that i am looking for. Bila fikir balik... when i was at my old place, boleh kira brp advice yang dpt buat ever since i joined the firm. But here, alhamdulillah, peluang tu ada and terbuka for ALL.. and kat sini, xde concept "the chosen one" or "the favourites", etc.
Anyway, for the project, the first phase was completed today. When i sent out the email today, and when the global office responded with acknowledgement, i felt happy and satisfied. Mmg x bleh nak describe how the feeling was. Happy. Hopefully the next phases will run smoothly too.
Other than that, everything was fine. Of cos i cannot compare the structure/ facilities of the new office with the old one. Memang the old one tersangat la modern and luxurious. Lift cantik, workstation cantik, interior cantik, etc. But is that what really matters? May be for some people yes, but to me, apa guna dalam sangkar yang cantik tapi hati x happy? So despite of the not so modern interior/ structure of the new office - ala2 ofis IRB sikit la.. hahhahaa.. but i am indeed happy. For the new people i meet, the new exposures i get and yeap, the new environment i am in now.
Alhamdulillah, when some people asked me "ada x rasa menyesal tinggal kan the old office?", i can smile and said "No, i'm not."
And thank god, i am still keeping in touch with my kakis in the old office. We are still close. So, I don't think i'm losing anything and in fact.. i've gained more things. Hopefully more best things to come...
till then... :p

Insaf la! Tak pasal2 blog ku ini jadi famous... which i like, cos it helps increase my nuffy earnings.. aawwwww!

Strictly no more playing!
Ok peeps! I am officially a career woman AGAIN tomorrow. Yay! Seriously, despite that i can wake up a bit later and did not have to go through the ever-hectic traffic last week while i was being in between jobs, I really really seriously miss that title... yes! that career woman title.. LOL!
And what a coincidence... while i was on that non career woman week, I met my long lost friend in fb. I was like seriously caught in between when she asked about my work. What do i do, etc. Ok.. fair enuf, i'm a tax consultant... but where? should I mention my previous company or should i mention the new company i'm gonna go to? yes, memang la I was already being offered the place and i've accepted it, tapi i belum start lagi kat new company tu as at that date.. so then, terpaksa la citer panjang2 kat dia... huhuhu..
Another thing that made me think while i was on that week off, if in any event i was hospitalised, would the new company cover the expense? macam tak jer kan, cos masa sign the acceptance letter, clearly i stated there my start working date would be 1 March 2010. So, kena la guna my personal insurance coverange gamak nyer.. haih.. but alhamdulillah, nothing bad happened so far..
oh well.. okie dokie, am gonna get ready for the day.. is it gonna be a busy day already tomorrow for me.. i have the feeling it will be.. maklum la.. it is also the same peak here.. sigh.. wish me luck all!!

Melepak with the grandma
Sampai sana around lunch hour. Dem! the weather was sooo hotttttt!!!
Wan didn't know that we were coming.. kinda surprise to her jugak. Sampai2, she terus ckp "Nasib awak datang, wan pening ni.." Ala wan ku ini... so cute.. So sampai2 terus picit2 kepala dia and "terik-terik" rambut dia untuk keluar kan angin. Note: Terik2 is a technique i learnt from my ex-maid untuk keluar kan angin from kepala and melegakan sakit kepala. Anyway, it worked because, after that she said "ha.. dah lega dah sakit kepala ni, awak nak makan apa? meh wan masak". Hehehe.. best best.. but of cos la we all tolong kan..
The rest of the day was just lepaking in from of the tv with her. Petang sikit, mama and ayah arrived cos they planned to sleep over. Anak2 mereka ni, beredar untuk pulang after isyak. But before that.. sempat lepak kat mamak opposite wan's house kejap with cousins.. and WAN!! ish.. suker lepak gak nenek aku ni.. haih!
p/s: off to see my photographer friend shortly.. taraaa!

Can I do the test again?
Ok.. for your information, the test is basically to evaluate each individual's personalities. There were two tests that I had to undergo. A Tests for Selection and Training (TST) and a Personal Profile Analysis (PPA). Questions were not difficult, but I was required to answer like so many questions within a very limited time.
For the TST test, it measures a person’s mental processing speed, current ability level and ability to learn new information. The results provide insights into how quickly a person can learn and retain new skills and information. There were 5 areas for this TST test as below:-
- FEATURE DETECTION
- REASONING
- NUMBER SPEED & ACCURACY
- WORKING MEMORY
- ORIENTATION
The PPA analysis on the other hand is basically a questionnaire that enables individual to become more aware of his/her work style. So, only by improving our self awareness will us have the means to consolidate our working strengths and compensate for our behavioural limitations.
I didn't know what to expect at the first place. Asked the HR person in charge if i should do anything to prepare for the tests... hahaha.. pretty nervous there. But she just said, have a good rest the night before and just come fresh and relax. So that was what I did... only that i was not so relax la on the way there.. huhuhu.. can I like do the test again now?? LOL!

On the 416th day together
Saturday, 20th Feb 2010.. on the 416th day of being together, the boyfriend's family came to our little hut for merisik. 5 of them.. the parents, the sister and husband and........ yes, the boyfriend pun datang.. yayy!!
It was the first time for our side (yang dirisik) and also his side (yang merisik). So when they first arrived the conversation sgt rancak between our parents in getting to know each other. After about 20 minutes or so, tiba2.... silence.... and after that, I heard his dad was talking, slowly and calmly...
"Tujuan kami datang ni sebenarnya......" and it all began...
Alhamdulillah, all went well yesterday. Our parents are quite calm despite that this is a first time for everyone. Dates for the next occasions are still tentative and the boyfriend and I are still discussing. Thank god our parents are quite flexible and let us discuss our dates first and escalate to them after that.. I even heard his dad said "biar la budak2 yang discuss, diorang yang nak kawin." hehe.. best!
p/s: The boyfriend was soooo adorable yesterday that i could not get my eyes off him.. LOL!

I am now smiling :)
I am now smiling.. alhamdulillah...
Ever since that day (which day eh? sometime a week back.. can't exactly remember when but it was one of the weekends la), I was very very upset after i had the conversation on that particular subject with him. Ditambahkan pula the night when I wrote the abovementioned entry, lagi la down tahap gaban kan.
Been praying a lot untuk ditabahkan hati and supaya Allah swt permudahkan semuanya. I could not for a second stop thinking of how upset i am. Tido pun x lena asyik fk jer.
And alhamdulillah, my prayers have been answered.

Cuppies..
Ordered this for the bf's niece who turned 10 today. Sweet kan? Colourful. Asked the bf "sedap tak?" He said "Ok la..".. hehehe...
Remember this?
Gave the bf this last year for V day. Not that I celebrated it but saja jer alang2 the promo was for V day kan.
However, this year tak beli kan the bf instead I bought for myself... hahahha..
Reason being, i wanted to taste the cuppies.. dah order 2 kali from her tapi x pernah pun try.
My views?
Decoration : 4/5
Price : RM25 for 16 small size cuppies so approx. RM1.60 per cuppy. Quite expensive sbb kecik jer cuppy tu.
Taste : 2/5 - This is my honest opinion la.. tak kan nak tipu kan.. i think it can be improved la so that biz dia akan lebih successful :)

Another sad night
I am so so so sad right now. And I can just cry like right now... well, i did a while ago while talking to my sister.. but i can still feel the tears that is about to pour down any moment now.
The parents asked me again tonight... for i have no idea how many times have they asked already. It just breaks my heart again tonight..
"Bila mak dengan ayah dia nak datang. Mama nak gi Padang ni, boleh la mama cari apa2 yang patut." asked mama..
And I just stay silent...
" Dia dah bgtahu mak dengan ayah dia ke?" she asked again
"Entah..." I just paused... and then continued... "Tak tahu la ma.. " and I paused again...
Seriously, I just don't know how to answer or what to answer. It is just so difficult.. i hate to be in this situation. Feel like running away so i can avoid their questions again and again and that i can avoid seeing their full of hopes faces. I am so sorry mama, ayah... i don't know... i don't have the answers myself.
My sister asked me if I have asked him. Yes I did... many times.. and dah sampai rasa macam malu pulak asyik tanya jer. And ended up I just got even more upset and i just kept quiet. I ended up pujuk'ing myself again and again. I guessed he would not understand how i feel. So I decided to stop asking and go with the flow.
I just hope I have faith all the way.. and that I don't lost hopes..

Last working MONDAY with the Company
Can't wait! Happy! Sad! Excited! Nervous!
Lots and lots of mixed feelings..
Anyway, went home pretty late today.. definition of late for me now is after 5.30pm lar! reason being, I was in the same lift with my BIG boss this morning and it was 9am.. sigh.. giler lambat.. tup tup sama lift la plak.. aiyak! so if I were to leave at 530pm today, cam what would she said right.. dah la datang lambat.. balik sikit punya punctual.. aiyok~! For all i know, kang x pasal2 she will go and ask MIS to print kita punya entry/exit itinerary. Like what she did to one of the senior managers who retired a couple of years back.. teruk kan?!
anyway, i don't want it to look so obvious of me NOT being fair to the company kan.. cukup2 la tu.. hahahaha... insaf kot? dah resign baru nak nak insaf? x payah ler.. hahahaha..
so I stayed la a bit late buat apa2 yang patut... and yang paling patut i would think of doing was cleaning up my workstation... but the before and after effect doesn't look any different... seriously i do not know when to start. banyak giler ok.. definitely coming this long weekend to clean up all and definitely gonna drag the bf to help!
So 7 more days left. My portfolio has successfully been shifted to other seniors already. So as of now, I just try to assist where possible la yang mana2 yang left over or outstanding. Harap2 sempat la. I'll try my best to finish what I have on hand with all the managers. Cuma just for this one particular manager a.k.a anak emas boss whom I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoyed and pissed off with, tak kuasa nak habis kan keja dia. Lantak la dia kan.. kancong x kena tempat. serve her right. Anyway, my colleague said that "Why don't for once you just tinggal kan jer keja dia, lantak la kan, dia nak wat apa lagi kat u kan." True enough, I should do that. After all that she did/said last year kan.. screw her lar!
Oh yang paling best, boleh pulak she sms'ed me today after office hour and asked me to call our counterpart in UK.. please la.. i didn't reply her sms.. but i did call though. Not for her but because I pity my staff, if not surely she has to call tomorrow.
Okie dokie, gonna sign off now and go to bed. Look forward to my last working TUESDAY with the Company!!
p/s: Last working monday & tueday because next week monday & tuesday cuti.. sangattt best.. and will be having a lunch date on Wednesday... dengan sapa? jeng jeng jeng!

9 words women use
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'nothing' usually end in 'fine'.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of 'nothing'.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man... That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . That will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F--- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
p/s: so guys, fahami la wanita2 kamu yer.. :p

Introducing the new family members!
Three adorable babies of Emily!!
The pictures were so hard to capture. The location is "bawah tangga" and it's dark. So i had to flash with a flashlight and capture them. Thanks to my HTC phone which has no flash on it's camera... bosan tul hp tu!
Aren't they cute? Sungguh nyenyak mereka tido. Look at the orange one, gemokkkk kan! Can't wait for them to open up they eyes and learn to walk. Now i'm thinking twice of not keeping all of them.. dillema.. dillema.. have to pujuk mama so that I can keep them all.. ;p

This is how i look like if i don't see him..
Anyway, yesterday he said that if he comes back early then we'll see each other and me being a good girlfriend, i said "Takpe la b, u have fun la kat sana, if x sempat jumpa then jumpa malam lagi satu pun takpe." Heh.. konon la kan.. padahal dalam hati i was praying that he will come back early!!
Then at about 9pm, he sms'ed "B, kita jumpa esok ok, i still kat club lagi." and again being a good girlfriend I replied "Ok sayang, have fun, elok2 and jgn notty!". Tapi muka dah start monyok.. cam gambar kat atas tu.. waaaaa!!!!
Ok, yes.. we see each other every day... weekdays we would just take an hour or so at night to lepak minum and exchange stories for the day and weekends are our movie days where we would spend more hours together. And the days are soooo incomplete if I don't see him... like i'm missing something... hmm... :((
Anyway, i pernah cakap kat dia that i kesian he has to see me everyday dengan penat keja etc... but his answer is....
"Ntah la b, penat camna pun i rasa, I still nak jumpa you every day"...
heeee... *me smiling with a loonnngggg grinnnnn*
I like!

She's a mommy now!
Anyway, the best thing is, the three kittens have heavy fur jugak. Best.. best.. I like! At the moment, tak berani nak capture their pics lagi. Tunggu dah besar sikit then I'll take their pics ok. Emily is back to her petite size. She is still adorable and after giving birth ni, makin manja. Tengok la ni siap terlentang lagi nak suruh gosok2 perut dia.. ishh...

Home sweet home.. nyeh nyeh.. not yet!
A friend of mine mms'ed me earlier today with her message "Eh, rumah you dah naik la.."
Oh, quite surprise to see the progress. 2 months back I was kinda worried sbb tgk cam x gerak2. Siap ada another friend of mine takut2 kan cakap ntah2 tergendala... cis! Thank god, the boyfriend as always, calmed me down saying that nak buat kondo nak kena kuat kan foundation dia. sebab tu la lama sikit. And in no time, tengok2 dah naik one tower. Mine is tower B, level 16. hehehe belum ada lagi tu. Soon.. insyaAllah.
Anyway, there will be 25 floors if I am not mistaken. Based on the floor plans, Level 1-5 will be the car park, level 6 will be the facility areas, level 7 and above will be the residential. Each residential levels ada 4 units of condominium. There are 2 types of units, Bungalow type and Semi D type. Mine is a Bungalow type, which means I won't have any neighbour next to me.. i.e. kira nya kalau pergi kat balcony tu, xde la balcony orang sebelah next to mine. Unlike Semi D type, there will be 2 balconies side by side. So cam my unit ni more privacy la kan.
The condominium is expected to complete insyaAllah end of this year. Gedebak gedebuk, nak dpt CF, amek kunci etc, so mid 2011 la kot baru boleh masuk kot. Anyway, bought the condo before I am with the boyfriend. Before this mmg la plan nak duduk kat sini tapi now there may be some change of plans. Nak2 nyer the boyfriend has already bought a condo jugak. So insyaAllah bila kahwin nanti, I'll be moving into his condo and my condo ni nampak nyer akan disewakan. Well, we'll think about that bila dah sampai masa nya.. huhuhu...
All in all, i am soooo excited to see the progress of the contruction of my condo.. ;p

When your inbox needs cleaning up!
This is one of the earliest e-mails that I registered when I was first introduced to internet. I think I registered using this e-mail address sometimes in the year 1995 when i was still in the UK. Lama tu weh.. and yes, I have been using this address for official stuffs and this add is sort of my main email add la.
However, as time goes by, i realised that this email has become congested with soooo many emails notifications... facebook la, friendster la, geni la, bills la, ACCA la, and the list just goes on. And so, I no longer use this email for my official stuffs anymore. In fact, I hardly open this e-mail unless for specific purpose la kan like to view my maxis bills etc. And that normally happens once a month!
Anyway, what makes me open this email today? Hehehe.. this is because one of the bloggers (yeah, u know eho u r..*wink*) asked if i have a YM.. so when i on my YM today, which i also seldom on it nowadays disebabkan kat office dah kena block, so i saw the numbers of my unread messages in the email. Aduh... banyak nyer and malas nak tengok cos mmg dah agak where the e-mails come from. But suddenly it urged me to open and go through the lists... takut jugak mana la tau ada one or two important emails kan. As expected mmg banyak unimportant emails.. so, alang2 tu, i think i need to do some cleaning up in there... sigh!
So peeps, I guess it may take a while for me to delete all the unnecessary emails especially when the internet is super darn slow right. Oh well, wish me luck!

An article for your reading pleasure
***********
WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ? - Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro
Every company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile.
Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.
He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office,and the very best technology,even a canteen that served superb food.
Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," he said soon after he joined.
Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job.
Why did this talented employee leave?
Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.
The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All The Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:
If you're losing good people, look to their immediate boss .Immediate boss is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he 's the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge,experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
Mostly manager drives people away?
HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave,but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.
When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get
him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in the job."
Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious,too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue.
Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn't.

On being NOT appreciated
Honestly, it is not an easy decision to make in leaving the Company. As this is my first job since graduated, I have been spending in and out of the department for 5 years now. What makes it even more harder is that I like my job.. and yes, i want to pursue further and move up the ladder in this career and be someone out of it.
So, what makes me want to leave?
- Exposure
- Politic
- People
I don't think I've been getting the exposures & opportunities equivalent to some people. Oh, what a sec! Did I hear some people said that:
"Oh, she is hardly in the office, how could we give her the work. The turnaround time for this work is very fast, etc. etc."
To those people, stop bullshitting around with that excuses. Yes, I was hardly in the office before and so, due to that, opportunities were not given to me. Fine, fair enough. But what i find it weird is that, how come opportunities were also not given to my peers who were in the office all the time? And that all those work go to the same group of people over and over again?
Yes, we were told that if you want to do something, tell your managers, tell your counselor. I did that but anything? yeah.. more & more administrative things. But when the jobs came in, still no different, they go to the same bunch of people!
So when u do not have enuf of these exposures.. u will definitely get penalise when come year end. Is that fair? You didn't get that opportunities but u get penalised instead?
Politics
The no.1 rule... be in the right group of people! Even if you did bad, u have these people to back you up.. EASY! and you definitely walk on water through your time in the department.
The no.2 rule.. be a butt kisser. Pet the right people's shoulder. Uppss.. sorry.. this is not my area of expertise. I don't kiss butt and i don't pet shoulders!
The no.3 rule.. fake yourself. Even if you are upset with some people, you just need to fake it that you are OK with them. No matter how unhappy u are... u just have to wear your smile all the time... hypocrite that is...
People
Have you heard of this statement before, "People resigned not because they want to leave the Company but because they want to leave their superiors"
And to cut it short.. yes.. part of the reasons my friend & I are leaving is that we are indeed leaving our superiors.
p/s: Tetiba cam malas nak tulis panjang2 pasal politics & people ni. Apparently, lagi best to express verbally bout it as compared to write it down.. huhuhuhu.... perhaps i should cover the above in my exit interview later? what say u?

The time we go on separate ways
This was taken on Pisah's 2nd last day with the Company. Thank god we get to snap this pic b4 we went home that day cos the next day, Mira & I fall sick and we took the day off.. huhuhu..
From just office colleagues, we have bonded well during our time with the Company. They are my "kakis" whom I go to lunch together, shared gossips, cried together during the most stressful moments, good listener to what ever issues I have, be it work related or personal. And the most important thing, they are friends that I can trust.
With Pisah already gone, now left Mira & me. I, however, have tendered my resignation last week once I got the offers and currently serving my 1 month notice. Yeap, the three of us are going separate ways now. Separate ways to continue our own journey of lives.
To Pisah & Mira,
Thank you for being such a wonderful friends. Thank you for giving me the support when I was at my lowest point. I would not have the strength to stay on if I do not have u girls around. Thank you for lending me your shoulders for me to shed my tears. Thank you for listening to my problems and craps. Thank you for the time that we shared. Thank you for the guidance and experiences that we encountered together. Thank you for lending me your hands when I needed the most. Last but not least, thank you for being part of my life journey and remember, true friendship consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and value.
May our paths cross again one day.
All the best in continuing your journey and may both of you be blessed with more & more good things to come!

Look at the cloud :))
We've cleared up the air :))
Sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit, ini kan pula for 2 people in a relationship. Whose fault is it? well, does it matter? Of cos dua2 x nak mengaku kan... when in fact sebenarnya, dua2 salah. But anyhow, the air has been cleared. Thank god! Seharian kat ofis resah jer today. And we haven't had an argument for months already so cam bila gaduh semalam cam kena electric shocked jugak la. And i really2 hate it sebab it makes my day miserable. Alhamdulillah, so far we never had an argument for more than 24 hours.. and sangat la minta untuk dijauhkan!
My weakness when being in a relationship is that I am soooooo mengada that i want to be pampered all the time. Ini tidak mungkin terjadi when he is tired + busy + merajuk for some reasons. So... when he is in that mood and sort of x layan my mengada'ness, i will start to think negative. Ok..ok.. i have a very creative imagination yer kawan2. Due to my creativity, I akan merajuk sorang2 and he is definitely x layan. I know i know, very childish of me. And somehow or rather, my horoscope does mentioned it and he highlighted it for me in his email dengan message "rasa nya yang kaler merah tu memang betul". Cis!!!

If only I have a real farm...
Alangkah seronok nyer la kalau real life ada farm sendiri.. hasil titik peluh sendiri.. sendiri jadi boss.. and tak payah la nak "kiss butts" all the time right people?
Banyak ke nak start up capital to start off a farm business aye? Hahaha.. ada hati tu nak tanya tu. mcm la rajin sgt nak membanting tulang kan. I memang salute those people yang sanggup membasah keringat camni.. hmm.. eh.. eh.. what's with me and my BM dictionary words ni.. hmmm...
Anyway, at this point of time, baru lepas harvest all the crops & trees kat FV tu.. dah lama dah berbuah tapi x sempat2 nak harvest due to my lack of online time last week.. hehe..
Okie dokie peeps, don't forget to click on my NUFF yeah!
~ adios ~
Week ended 15 Jan 2010
Anyway, this week has been one hell of a tired week. Went home from work at 9pm almost everyday. Too much stuffs to finish up in the office.. even though I know.. the work can never finish.
Due to the tiredness, I had mild asthma attack on Friday. Actually the whole week memang dah rasa restless.. stuffy most of the time and lost of breath at times. Took mc on Friday.. owh anyway, there is a new rules for my department to those who is going on mc. Previously, who ever is on mc, he/she will sms the admin centre and the admin lady will send an email to the whole dept to inform that the staff is on mc. However, now, our partner has imposed new rules whereby whi ever that is going on mc has to sms our partner to let her know first before sms is sent to the admin lady. So on Friday morning I sms'ed la the boss:
"Ms. xxx, I'll be on mc today. I'm having asthma. - Naz"
"Have you seen the doctor?", aiseh boss ni... klinik x bukak lagi la...
"No, my dad is taking me to the clinic when it opens"
"Ok"
Owh well.. ok ok, that was that about my tired + sick moments last week. Despite all that, last week had nevertheless ended as a truly happy week for me.. tak sabar nak citer bout what happened, tapi kena tunggu dulu. I need to keep it a silent for now. No.. no.. nothing about my relationship ok.. hehehe. It's about something that I have been waiting for since end 2009.
InsyaAllah, by end of next week baru boleh war2 kan kat sini okie... :))

Lagu untuk semua
Sebelas Januari Bertemu
Menjalani Kisah Cinta Ini
Naluri Berkata Engkaulah Milikku
Bahagia Selalu Dimiliki
Bertahun Menjalani Bersamamu
Kunyatakan bahwa Engkaulah jiwaku
Akulah Penjagamu
Akulah Pelindungmu
Akulah Pendampingmu
Di setiap langkah-langkahmu
Pernahku Menyakiti Hatimu
Pernah kau melupakan janji ini
Semua Karena kita ini manusia
Akulah Penjagamu
Akulah Pelindungmu
Akulah Pendampingmu
Di setiap langkah-langkahmu
[Chorus:]
Kau bawa diriku
Kedalam hidupmu
Kau basuh diriku
Dengan rasa sayang
Senyummu juga sedihmu adalah Hidupku
Kau sentuh cintaku dengan lembut
Dengan sejuta warna

HE says WAIT & GIVES u the BEST in HIS own time.....
