Strictly no more playing!

Heh.. cam apa jer title right.

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

Went back to wan's house in seremban today. Day trip jer.. cos my youngest sister is going back to her hostel today.. so i gotta send her to ktm. Dah lama x balik jengok wan. So alang2 i am still on leave + baby is not around + there was an electricity blackout from 11am to 8pm, yes.. today memang was a good day indeed to balik. On top of that, wan pun dah banyak kali suruh tolong cuci her bio-aura filter. So ok la.. balik la.. pity my granny.

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!

~ memang sangat sedap burger kat sini, betul la apa yg didengar! ~


~ with my sporting grandma yang comey! ~


~ me.. x bleh blah.. nak amek solo gaks! ~


p/s: off to see my photographer friend shortly.. taraaa!

Can I do the test again?

Went to DKC for the aptitude and behavioral tests. First time sat for such tests.. nervous (hahaha... ) and excited!

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!

All about the journey to become his wife

Hmm... macam banyak nyer masa yg ada sampai buka lagi satu blog kan.. well.. not really actually. Reason being is.. since I am now very active surveying on bridal stuffs.. banyak sangat websites yang I need to bookmark. Nak list down all in this personal blog of mine macam congested giler. So.. that's when I think another blog would be good.. kan kan?

So.. harap2 la i'll get to update both simultaneously.. huhu.. i'll try not to abandon this as this one memang I have been using for ages la jugak.. tak kan la nak abandon kan.. huhu..

Well.. so this is the url to my new blog... feel free to follow.. so far not many entry yet lar.. ;p

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!

8 months and he lost 57kgs

This is my sister's friend, Bob. I spoke to him once, masa mula2 I tried Herbal Life. At that time he was already on HL for 3 months if I'm not mistaken. Look how determine he is! I wanna be like him too.

bobbbbb!!!! nak kurus jugakkkk...

Perhaps, I should start back on the HL. Really need to have a strong mind to do this. And determination. And the dicipline.

Anyway, who ever yang interested to know how he did it, he can be contacted at 012-6878736

Bob, proud of u dude!

I am now smiling :)

Following this entry...

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

Apart from my sister, I have no one to talk to at this point of time... talk to? or rather expressing my deepest sad feeling at the moment. Of cos there will be my colleague.. but she is not on gtalk now and I will only see her tomorrow which by then the feeling may have gone away.

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..

Sometimes 3 years ago?


Went through "My Picture" folder and found this.

Was taken in 2007 at LCCT on our trip to Langkawi

Yes, permed my hair.

That was my first trial and definitely the last one too!

Last working MONDAY with the Company

Approximately 7 more working days with the Company before I close the book of my 1st job after graduated.

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..



The boyfriend was having a cocktail induction drink at the golf club earlier tonite. It is basically a get-to-know function for the new members at the golf club and the old members where the newbies are required to get the signatures of the seniors.. ala-ala macam induction kat Universiti dulu2 tu la kot i supposed.

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!
