when i hear people talking about it

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.



Notice the change in blog layout?? Nahhh...I just want something different and simple this time...


A colleague of mine just came back from holiday in Hong Kong [actually a week ago]. She showed me some of the pictures she took there[mine me, there are thousands okay, but I can't be looking all right], it was beautiful[don't talk about Hong Kong backstreet scenes].


And a visit to Hing Kong will not be complete if you don't spare your time to visit Disneyland. She said that she arrived Disneyland early morning but they only open for public at about 9.30am.. She walked more than 12 hours that day[cause she take her time to tke the same picture at the same place to get the perfect picture:-p] but still didn't managed to see everything..I was like OMG!!!!... It was awesome...It was just a picture but I make me feel like I'm there [sad mode]...


So I'm gonna add Hong Kong Disneyland as one of the places I would want to go before I die. And I hope I'll manage to save up some $$$ when the time comes...

invitation to the royal wedding

read more bout her evening dress here. it is a debut as well. White and simple.



So the royal wedding has ended but a new life for these 2 couples as husband and wife has just begun. But the ROYAL WEDDING FEVER has yet to ended. I didn't manage to watch the full version of LIVE telecast of the wedding but I managed to watch partial of it through CNN and you wouldn't believe where I watched it.....At the Office....cool ei...

Well, overall the wedding was simple and sweet...I love it..And now I'm considering to have a Royal British Wedding theme....One day...Short trail of the dress compare to Princess Diana's wedding... And did you know Kate's engagement ring as from Lady Diana's one?.. Talk about a good son...Kate's is definitely lucky to have a family material husband like William.How I wish I have 1 too..

monday blues and last week event



Above 2 pictures were taken during dinner in Friday's



The toilet was huge but very few cubicles to use. You can even sleep in there *exxagarate mode* They even have powder/make-up table with comfy chairs....





These were the first thing I took. Yes, very little, I know. I have pretty small stomach okay. There were also lotsa choice that I didn't know which to choose and I'm a fussy eater too.



The top 4 pictures were taken in Rasa Sayang Hotel, Bt Feringgi during our 'team building' event. Yes, the only thing my team have in common is eating session so every team building will involve trying new food...


Anyway, I've been following closely a girl's blog [which also happen to be Vivy's Prouduck BFF] by the name Toots [cute isn't it] and a post of hers about her boss leaving the company after years of service.
What captured my interest was one of the sentences in her post :


I'm sure gazillion others would agree with me on this - A boss would either make you or break you.A good boss would make Monday Blues a legend left forgotten while a boss who barks at you every 5 minutes would dampen your spirit and leave you crying in the toilet.


You know what,it would be nice if I were to have such team in the office..Not that I'm complaining. They're nice but up to the point of professionalism..They've gotta loose themselves. Like McDonald..Everytime I eat there, I would see the same people working. And you know what, McDonald is one of the best places to work in the world...Sounds interesting right. From the way I see it, they laugh while working and even joke with each other.


Office is not just a place where you stare at your computer for 8 freaking hours, it's also a place where you get to know each other, learn each other's interest and mingle around. It is also a place for you to expand your network. Going to office especially on Monday will definitely be a routine for you instead of a place for you to have fun as well if your office is not' colorful' enough. You'll be force to drag your feet.. 'Oh God, tomorrow's Monday already, boring la' and that will be your dialogue on every Sunday nite...

after high school and all sorts of things

Well, one of my best friend, Along responded to my post about high school...hahaha..Didn't thought that she'll reply on that post.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about my high school years..Definitely I missed those years..Who doesn't right? It was a honeymoon years, in fact sweeter than that [despite I got bullied a few times before]...I was a nerd back then but managed to get out of my cocoon now..Thanks to college years...A few bunch of crazy friends....I don't have high school pictures...It's in the safekeeping of Along...Seriously I don't mind going back to the glorious years and I'll say that I don't regret it....It was extraordinary fun...

Some things you can't replace. Like the bathroom door you broke when you broke up with your high school sweetheart, or when you have to stand on the science lab table when you didn't submit your homework..All those are memories created over time or years in school..So along the way, you meet new friends at work or college, you still can't forget the things in secondary school no matter how bad you had...It has been implanted in your brain...But I'm glad, what ever things that have changed, one thing for sure that will never change is the friendship existed between the 7 of us...I miss them...

But at 1 point you wonder, will these friends think of you as how you think of them often....

I DIED!!

Dear readers,

Sadly to inform that my lappy has died on me. I guess Aceries knows that she has to 'go' after 4 years of service. Therefore I'm trying to find a place or someone that could fix it or get a new one which there's 1 model that I'm eyeing on...

So please, pleaseeee expect some delays in posting as I only have access on my work desktop...

Strangers, again



This is what's happening in a real relationship...

what lacked in our society


Went out for lunch yesterday. Was suppose to pack lunch home but end up having them in McD's. Since I'm out, I thought why not buy DVDs since I've got a DVD player at home [recently bought in SenQ, it was a display set but in good condition, RM99, cheap isn't it]. So I bought 6 DVD for RM30, each is RM5 which is RM1 more expensive compare to Batu Ferenggi.
It saves money rather than going for movie. Definitely you have to spend on snacks. At least a soft drink...

Anyway, there's one movie, The Blindside starring Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Touhy, Tim McGraw as Sean Touhy, Jae Head as Sean Touhy [youngest son] or S.J, Lily Collins as Collins [oldest daughter] and lastly the main cast is Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher or Big Mike.

This movie was produced in 2009 based on a true story . It is about a husband and wife[yes, they're white], Leigh Anne Touhy and Sean Touhy who take in a homeless African-American, Michael 'Big Mike' Oher. Michael has never know who his father was and his mother was a drug addict. Michael have not had any formal education or skills to help him learn [he also never own a bed to sleep before]. The Touhys doesn't only gave him a home to stay but also shower him with care and love he always needed from a family. They also hire a tutor to help him improve in his education to the point he would qualified for NCAA Division 1 athletic scholarship [ I don't have a clue what that is].

A poor,uneducated and over sized teenager is recruited by a major football program where he was groomed to become an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. Read more about Michael Oher here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Oher

I cried when watching this movie. It brings out the selfishness in us. You feel so lucky for who you're and brings out the humbleness in you. So check out this movie. You can get the DVD in a local DVD shop.....If I have all the money in the world, I will do the same but sadly I can't afford...

wanna keep my hair long

Will post my wish list some time soon......

picture is for illustration purpose only

I used to have long locks but decided to cut short right after I start working due to certain reasons (hair dropping, itchy scalp, take too long to to dry and etc)...It has been short ever since... I don't have the discipline of taking care long hair so I thought it is better to go short.. But seeing other girls with long hair, when they can do many type of styles, make me wanna have long hair as well but should I?

I have itchy scalp problem and oily hair texture. I have tried numerous type of shampoos but none of it works...If anyone has any idea which shampoo that you can recommend me, do so.... Just email me will do or leave a comment okay...I'm not sure how long will it take for me to get my long hair locks back..

i cooked gulai kawah...fuyooo!!

For the first time ever, I cooked gulai kawah beef...I took me just about an hour from preparing the ingredients to the finishing good:-)..I planned to cook daging masak cili api but it seems hard and I was hungry, so I thought, gulai kawah is almost similar to curry, so why not I cooked that... Came back from work, defrosted the beef, took the coconut milk out, onions, sugar and salt of course......

You didn't expect that I would know how to cook it, don't you??? Are you kidding?? I don't even know how to cook curry, what's more gulai kawah...So this is my best friend


You guys should try this perencah... All you need to do is add in beef/chicken, coconut milk, a 'lil bit of salt and sugar and you're good to go, your home made gulai kawah..Ini lah hidangan orang bujang kan....I didn't expect that ready made perencah would taste this good...


down to memory and RCQ...What RCQ???

"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."
- C. S. Lewis




A blog post in the famous Vivy's blog reminded me of my good 'ol school days. I follow her blog every single day. It is amazing how a young lady who's obviously younger than me [duh!] is juggling so many things in her hand...Girl power I'd say....

Anyway, it kind of reminded me of my high school years...Oh btw, happy birthday to along [a very best friend of mine]. She's turning 27 this year...Gosh, it will be my turn after this...We were thrashers in school..We even have a group by the name RCQ [Ransack Chics Quest] and you know what, we even have a little evil BLACK BOOK...Where we jot down all the secrets about everyone in school...Hahaha..Don't be deceived with our tudung appearance...If I'm not mistaken we have 7 members [all girls] in the group...We were considered as the pioneer group in school...Even some of the teachers hated us...And we even caused a teacher to 'resigned' in teaching our class and some even cried...The BLACK BOOK is in the safe-keeping of Along...Will get her to bring it back to Penang to let us read...AHahahahaha...It would be fun...

I miss my school days...Carefree and nothing to worry about...The only thing you need to worry is EXAM...I hate that part..I guess everyone's the same....Well, we can't turn back time, can't we? I'm glad that all of us are still friends for the past 14 years and I guess still going strong...

what's amazing in life

I've never thought these little things could make our day.

Everything is true in the list except I don't favor the part which is 'talking on the phone till 5am'.
Thanks but I rather sleep like a Sleeping Beauty



people and their culture

Well, got back from USM library earlier on. Preparing for final exam with Mr.Benson. Sadly Jason couldn't join us. If not group study session would be fun. Had lunch with Mr.Benson at a foodcourt nearby. Eyes was watery as I didn't get enough sleep the day before. I've gone insane for the past 2 weekends. I woke up at 7.30am on a Saturday morning thinking that I was late to work. See what I meant??? Since I attended a face-to-face session with some of the coordinators including a few lecturer regarding our oversea attachment many weeks back, I've been thinking non stop of having a little trip to the UK or US since I'm gonna be there for at least 3 weeks, so why not take the opportunity to spend some time there. As a holiday. That is just one of my many destination that I've planned to go. Budget is the important thing. Insyaallah, if everything goes fine, it would be next year...Woohhoo..

It has been a very long time since I go for a holiday. The last was in India which is 3 years back maybe??...I think so...but ever since daddy retired, the furthest destination is Singapore which is every year as mummy is a citizen there..Not much of a big deal actually. I've been thinking of taking a few months off from work after my MBA, maybe travel around Europe a little then a few in 3rd world country... I know, I know...$$ needed... So for those who has a little compassion towards me, I'll be willing to accept your donations starting today...hahahahaha..ya rite. Like anyone will donate $$ for me to go on a holiday...Sucks... Having to travel half of the globe is an amazinggggggg thing. You got to see different perspective of life. I used to travel overseas when daddy was still working and it was a great experience. There's the sad part that you don't want to see and it makes you appreciate life more. There's also the interesting part where you don't get to see everyday in your normal routine. There's also some part that will make you shed your tears and I've esperienced that so I don't want to go down that path that I've seen in other people's life....

extreme exam mode

I'm on panic and nervous mode!!!




decision making

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

~David Russell


The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.

~Flora Whittemore
Decision making is an everyday thing in life. The differences are whether it is hard or easy to decide or, whether it is life and death. Having to many choices is also bad as it will leave you undecided. Heard before 'best decision in life sometimes is not making decision'. Some people decide to take a longer and harder path in their life but some just want the easy way out. People who take the route where nobody else want are better in decision making and they're stronger as they've been through a lot in order to achieve what they have now. But not everyone is tough. Confidence is the key to decision making. Confident that you'll be able to handle what ever that comes in your way after deciding. I know it is hard but at one point of your life, you will definitely be standing at a cross route when both route are as important. It is a matter of priority after that.

read this and ponder...

This post was taken from my sister Dianah's blog

Read 10 things to learn from Japan AND learn to give rather than take.

Things are not doing well in Japan. It is far from better. Let us all pray for them. It is the biggest catastrophe ever in history.

Imagine this kind of natural disaster happens in Malaysia, will we be as strong as they are?

past days




I have been busy reading journals for exam. Having to read so many articles make my vision double and tired. I'm not even half way through my studies but everything seems so difficult. Juggling work and study at the same time needs patience and strength. It drains out all your energy that by the time you have spare time for yourself, all you wanna do is SLEEP...YES, SLEEP!

The more I read these journals, the more my head spins. It seems endless and there's pages and pages and pages that I have to remember. Plus I have a memory of a gold fish...Great isn't it.. Sometimes, I would question myself whether am I dreaming or is this for real..

part of our life are unspoken so let your heart speaks




true isn't it?

sometimes, we have no clue, that our words and actions left a big impact on others. we dont know the damages we caused for breaking a person's heart and feelings. sometimes, we dont realize, just how inconsiderate and selfish we are. and sometimes, we forgot, we used to get hurt, long time ago. we hated the person who left the scars. we fall, and we break into million pieces. we cried all night long, because we can actually feel the heart is breaking. and then, just when we have learned not to feel the pain, why... why we've become the person we hated at the first place? we turned into everything we said we'd never be... sometimes, we have no clue, that our words and actions left a big impact on others. we dont know the damages we caused for breaking a person's heart and feelings. sometimes, we dont realize, just how inconsiderate and selfish we are. and sometimes, we forgot, we used to get hurt, long time ago. we hated the person who left the scars. we fall, and we break into million pieces. we cried all night long, because we can actually feel the heart is breaking. and then, just when we have learned not to feel the pain, why... why we've become the person we hated at the first place? we turned into everything we said we'd never be...

geli and disgusted

I've been noticing this kind of news lately in the newspaper. It has been a widespread disease among our citizens especially the older generations. I wonder how can this happen especially when you're already married...This is so disgusting and immoral behaviour. Has our dignity and pride gone down the drain. And he's 55 years old and expect a sixteen years old girl will keep her mouth shut from her parents. Stupid isn't it???...Even sent her home after it happened...OOHH gosh.. Where did he put his brain..At his knee or what?? This is sickening. And one more thing, how can she not know that banks do not open on Sunday? I'm not sure the reason why she doesn't know as I don't want to put words into her mouth. I guess she'll be traumatised for the rest of her life. People has become animal. Even animal has sense of sympathy.

colorful quotes





I am GLEEk, are you?

http://youtu.be/AeN-8PsLHJ4 So, while revising my work, one thing came across my tiny little head. A grand entrance of me and my future husband at my wedding. How cool right. Coincidently there's a song of Marry YOu in Glee version which sounds cheeker, colorful and lively than the original one. Maybe because they're Glee. They tend to exxagarate every single song they sing but in a nice way:-) http://youtu.be/RmIcimA1N9w?hd=1 I love this episode of Glee where they sang MJ's version of Thriller but they meshed it up in a unique beat. It was awesome that I kept watching it on You Tube since then. Their dance routine were damn good and make-up I should say.

fashion speaks

Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma.
Fashion is something that comes after style.

Well it is Sunday but I'm at home revising while watching TV. So many articles to read and notes to revise. Ohh how tense. While reading my notes, I browsed through a website about a girl from KL who blogs about her own fashion style. I love her haircut and her style but not sure whether it will be suitable on me or not...Ahahahahaha..Funny..Visit her blog here Strapped.


See what I meant...This is only one of her many pictures...I loike!!!

life is hard indeed

When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life.
Monty Python's Life of Brian

what's your future like

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
Reba McEntire


Have you ever dreamt of Prince Charming? I bet you did. So do I. Living in a magical castle and riding horses, walking in the castle's park every morning and evening. We imagine of having the perfect guy one can have in the universe but in real life, it is just bull****. That's why it is called imagination or dream. Man like that in reality doesn't exist. No one's perfect so how can you get one. Sometimes we wonder, will the person we're with can really take care of us like how they'd say 'I always take care of you'. What do they mean by take care?

When we're at the end of a relationship, we asked ourselves, will I get the same guy? or it won't be the same. A relationship that doesn't work has many reasons to it. It does not mean that the bond is break due to one party got caught cheating. Sometimes it's just not meant to be. It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. If everybody can see the future, then life means nothing without a mixed of feelings and the world will look dull.

People are different nowadays. Its not the same like the old days where man or women are more conservative and honest. They meant what they say. Its not easy to find someone who has similar personality to our father. And most girls will say they would want someone like daddy. Same goes to me. My dad is the closest person to me compared to little sis and mummy. We talked almost everything except now. I've grown up and stay far from the family. But once in a while they will come down to visit me.

At times I wonder, how will my future be? Will be that someone I’ve always wanted to be, to have my BMW that I’ve been passing by the show room almost everyday. It is all challenges. It feels so hard and merely impossible. And I wonder will I get someone like daddy who’s so responsible towards his family. All the hardship he went through to have what he has now. And sometimes, when I look back, I regretted things I’ve done but I know I can’t turn back time. See the future and think what I can do to make things better instead of thinking I could have done. Sometimes I would want God to just show me what’s the end of my life story so that I can get prepared.

I imagined myself getting married, have kids and working at the same time, having breakfast with my children and husband on weekends but at the same time, I imagine those things does not exist. Only me and my rabbit...

And I wonder and wonder and wonder........

somethings we have to let go

Moving on is simple, it’s what you leave behind that makes it so difficult


Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life even you've achieved many things?. You feel like it is the end of the road and that you can't seem to find any other alternative way. The only thing you can think of is ESCAPING. Escape from everybody and get some peace of your own but there's always some thing or some one that will come your way.


There are things that you don't want to know, but you have to learn.

There are things that you don't want to lose, but you have to let go.


Well, easy said than done aite? Motivation talks and classes are just tools to guide you in decision making but you as a whole, are the one who will choose the 2 cross road that you're standing in. Tough isn't it. When you think what you're facing now is tough, think about others. They have worst than yours. Sometimes, there are things that I just want to give up but I keep telling myself I can do it. But actual fact I can't.


At times, you have to let go things or people that you don't want to. I admit it is hard. But in order for the world to spin again, you've gotta be cruel or you'll be suffering. Love is just a gambling game. You'll never know whether you're destined to be with that person even after marriage. It doesn't gurantee anything. And to put aside or sacrifice some things in your life, you won't know how to differentiate. Everybody breaks down when it comes to emotions, even the toughest guy on earth will bow to his/her own emotions. But God is always there for us. At times, we blame Him for what has happened, but actuallyHe gives us time and wants us to learn the strength of being hurt, being rejected, the feeling of failing, so that we can be strong and get up back on our feet. He's preparing us for the biggest challenge in life. He created us, so no matter how naive we are, how bad we have become, He is always forgiving and will always be there when we needed Him the most.


So when things are going tough, pray and have faith in Him and yourself...
