Jess's wedding post

Attended Jess's wedding dinner in Paradise Hotel. Event started at 7.30pm and as usual I was late but only 15 minutes:-) They served 8 course dinner and 'not too' bad I say but I prefer burger tepi jalan lagi:-p..Boyfie went along as well with some other Dell colleagues...It was fun but tiring though...

Delon was tipsy due to the unlimited wine and beer served(he had his fun la)..And his face was red..Nelly as usual, laughing at him...The dinner ended at 10.30m and all of us headed home...

buying a house is not like A,B,C

Planning for a house is not like munching almonds. Just choose and pop into your mouth. I've seen a few houses around(apartments, condos) but none manage to capture my interest yet. Price might be good but the condition (area, interior, etc) doesn't make me go aaww and when the price is like 'roof-top', the house is so beautiful...Landed houses in Penang is like the 'highest-tower-in-the-world' unless if I'm a tycoon's daughter....Well, it's better for me to still do some searching before rushing into any decision...Don't want to regret later..Houese built y IJM and Ivory is so 'pretty' but I can't afford that kind at the moment...There's a few things I want to settle first before getting into marriage so that I don't have to still renting a house later on...A car and a house..Not to brag, but if I have any extra cash...including help from daddy;-), I'd get a Honda for myself. My current obsession is the Honda City/Civic...But for a start I would go for a Vios but BMW would still be my preferred choice(even my own boss don't drive BMW..hahaha)... Well better put things together first instead of a last minute thing...

15th Anniversay

Met with one of my classmate after work. Discussed about our project which due next Wednesday..Tiring and sleepy...

Anyway, my company celebrated our 15 years Anniversary in Malaysia so there were some activities in cafe. Dancing, singing, and launching of our new official song for the company. Singers were among our company's staff and winners of the 15 years Anniversary Official song competition (m not gonna upload here). They have to create their own lyrics and beats...Didn't know we have such talented people in the office..I didn't manage to record the whole song. Just part of it....The whole event lasted for 1 hour (people have to get back to work ok,not that we're on holiday)

One of the staff sang Norah Jones's made famous song 'Don't Know Why'..She was damn good...

strength within is the fuel

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

I'm darn tired today. Work till 5pm and then class at 7pm. God please give me the strength. Had a great night of photography with BFF yesterday. I hope she enjoyed my company and thanks darling for the gorgeous photos. Waiting for her to upload them into my Facebook. We'll do it again next time and next destination will be Batu Feringgi...Ahahah..Kononnya pro photographer la...As BFF is still learning on how to use her DSLR, I volunteered to be her so-called 'model'...Model yang pendek...Xpa la..Pendek pun jadila...And I miss Along(she's in Sabah I think). Thinking of going back to Singapore this coming January 2011. Been 2 years since I last visited my aunties, cousins and uncles...Hhmm...The family be spending the almost-2-months school holiday in Singapore starting next month.

*and should I cut my hair short or keep it long and then go for wavy look??

I want to get myself a compact SLR camera.....

wedding bells

Happy marriages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blossom when we love the one we married.

Love doesn't make the world go 'round.

Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

-- Franklin P. Jones

Most of my friends are in the mid of changing their status from 'single'--'engaged'--'married'.. So when is it gonna be my turn?? I can't get married now due to a few reason and one of it is because I'm still studying... Some people said 'After married also still can study what'...It is not that easy buddy... But marriage is at the back of my mind now...The feeling is there...So now I have to make sure everything is in place...Money and properties...Gotta stop shopping from today onwards (nak kumpul duit la konon)*laughing at herself*...I hope everything will be in place within 2 years time...Goshhhh....

weeekend activities

“Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else.”

- Lyndon B. Johnson quotes (American 36th US President (1963-69). 1908-1973)

Attended the USM Grand Scholarly Debate yesterday at Dewan Budaya, USM. It was a whole day event (9am-5.30pm)..Topic of the day was Are We Lacking in Economic Strength To Become A Develop Country..Topic was interesting but some speakers made us doze off for a while... Food was provided(brunch, lunch and tea time). For Graduate School of Business students (mainly MBA's), we are required to pay only RM50..For outsiders, fees will be RM250(with some extra goodies and not just the recycle bag).. Food was good and catered by Selera Wawasan Catering (near Sungai Pinang)... We also receive goodie bag (a recycle bag, note pad and a pencil)...One of the speakers was Y.M Tengku Tan Sri Dr.Mahaleel Tengku Ariff. His speeches were good and 'lively'. Other invited speakers were Y.Bhg Senator Tan Sri Amirsham A.Aziz (National Economic Advisory Council), Y.Bhg Tan Sri Dr.Sulaiman Mahbob (Chairman of the Malaysia Industrial Development Authority and Industry Advisory panel member of GSB), Mr Charles Ireland ( President of Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Mr Jonathan Addis (Chairman of the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce). Tun Mahathir were suppose to be one of the panelist but was replace by Mr Hashim Mohammed( Industry Advisory Panel member for GSB) at a very last minute due to health reason. If he were present, it would be definitely a grand debate:-)... Event was divided in to 2 session..Morning and afternoon and attendance were taken twice as well (to avoid student cabut from the 2nd session, people like me:-)).

YM Tengku Mahaleel having light conversation with some of the students before starting of the second session debate.

purchase of the month

Got this portable speaker (with subwoofer) in Tesco. Got it on sale for a price of RM52.90..Cheap isn't it..Was reluctant to get it at first but everyone in office was talking about it.... It seems like everyone wants to get it. So called boyfie and brought him along that night itself. I didn't get to actually use the speaker yet except the time when I get it tested before paying for it...Might get another model also but same brand...

updates...

Pictures were taken during TM CR Program for Community and Environment 2010 talk in the auditorium

Sorry for the lack of update for the past 2 days. Been busy with workload and projects. Anyway, today is my 3rd year anniversary with boyfie and we ate Shauban for celebration*LOL*.. Have planned a few things but haven't had that time to do it. So we decided to postpone the celebration to another day...Maybe when both of us manage to get a leave...Unless if I have my own company..Ahahaha...Nothing much during these 2 days...

blessing of the day

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

Peter Marshall

Arrived home safely considered as a blessing right...

say grace

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

~W.T. Purkiser

I admit that sometimes when bad things happen especially when it happen the entire week, feels like everyone and everything is going against me...I'll ask God 'Why is this happening?'.....I never understood the obstacle that He has thrown in for me...But as time goes by, I understand well... I try to take things one step at a time rather than doing everything all at once when I myself know that it is out of my capability... Last time, I do things so that people will like me and I didn't realize that even though people might like me, that doesn't mean they accept the way I am..They might be talking bad about me behind my back and smile nicely in front of me...I admit I bought friendship... Soon I realize it was wrong and I got my sense back...I know that I'm a nuisance, freak or a fussy to certain people but that's who I am. Yes, I do pick each strain of hair on the floor, and yes, I don't like the sink to be damp wet...The point is we can't change people if they themselves doesn't want to and I'm still learning to be grateful with what I have and yes I'm just a normal human who can't run from making mistakes...Who doesn't right???

some are hard to teach

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

Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be. Custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.

Pythagoras

Watched this movie earlier...And damn have I read the online reviews wrongly???....It was boring..Throughout the show, I was like 'When the hell is this movie gonna end??' I was falling asleep halfway (even though I had my 3 hours sleep in the afternoon)Basically this movie is about soul-searching, making decision and knowing what you want/scare of in life (something like that)..Maybe the reviews that I've read is from a writer who pretty much favor this sort of story line..Not for me...But it seems that boyfie enjoyed it (coz its weird as I know he likes to watch movie with fighting/adventure scenes) . On the way back we tapau Burger King..They were closing and left only whooper burger (we bought it anyway)

*Some are just hard to teach no matter how many times you try to teach/tell them...So don't waste your time spend on this kind of human...Its just a waste of your time seriously...

happy weekend people

It is weekend again peeps. Have a great holiday. Drive safely...

Final exam is next month and I gotta scrub my ass till wee hours again...OMG!!! Again???

of friendships...

pictures courtesy of Sarah's DSLR. thanx

This picture was taken during Sarah's 'rumah terbuka'. We did not plan to stay that long (till about 9pm from 5 in the evening). Cik Pah said she wanted to take a look at the house so me and Alla tagged as well. Sarah took us around the house from the front porch to the kitchen to the rooms and to the bathroom:-) It was an old-classic-british type of house. Inside has been renovated before the whole family moved in. It has contemporary deco. Didn't manage to take pictures of the exact deco. But the above pic was taken in the guest living room (air conditioned ok)...We drink and ate cakes, which supposedly a gift from Eastin hotel and it was for Sarah's in-laws..But we (as in Alla and Cik Pah) whacked most of the toppings... Alla and Cik Pah nibbled most of the fruits and the cake deco...Greedy girls!!!...As I don't really favor chocolate moist cake, I didn't eat. Plus my stomach was packed with lontong, nasi dagang, kuih and laksa which we ate before we entered the house during the open house...Food was good especially the nasi dagang....It's kind of sad when we had to leave as it has been a long time since all of us get to gossip and such...Sarah didn't change much..Still same old her with her jokes, nonsense and laughter..And she has 1 daughter already...Hahahaha.

13 years of friendship and still going strong...

A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.

~Lois Wyse

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive.

~Anäis Nin

I believed that most of us received emails and some even posted in FB saying that Burger King is officially opened in Penang. A long waited favorite joint has finally here...Set that aside....Met with my long old school classmate back in Secondary 5. It was good to see her and had a long chat as well with BFF Alla and Cik Pah. So sad that Along could not be here:-)...Sarah invited us to her 'rumah terbuka' at the Kediaman Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri (i hope I got it right)... We took a few photos and most of it is in Cik Pah's and Sarah's digicam and SLR....How good if all of us can often meet like this...And we just realize that all of us has been friends for the past 13 years...My God... And this prove that we're getting older each day..Ppfftt..Well, one day we'll look and enjoy the moments that we had together..You now what, despite of every arguments, tears, laughters, craziness and every little things that we said to each other, never a moment I regret knowing the friends that I have back in Secondary school...These are the bunch of people who really stood by me even though my own world look 'ugly' at times... They too never once judge me of the mistakes I made in my life...They supported until I changed to what I am now...They listen to my nagging even though it's 3am in the morning...

what makes a life complete and what is moderate lifestyle???

picture was taken during lunch last weekend

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Definitely some post to think about after you have read..I did...Ever wondering what makes one's life complete?? A big car? Tonnes of cash?? Married to a good husband?? A big house?? Well,one thing for sure, every one has their own definition of 'complete life'..To me?? I'm indefinite seriously...This topic was brought up because of some post that I've seen on the web.. Won't mention where (sensitive case:-) )...Some just feel satisfied after they've own a house, married to someone, 2 kids and a car, but is that enough or a 'complete' life requires more than that?? As a human created by The Almighty, we will never be satisfied with what we have. Not to forget myself as well...Everyone says live in moderation but I don't really see that concept implemented in today's society...Today's so called 'moderate' lifestyle is having a big car, a big bungalow, a high post, branded stuffs from head to toe....Weird isn't it??? And people would kill each other just to live up to that standard...Ada yang sanggup ikat perut..Bak kata setengah orang ' biar bergaya asal papa'. Pelik kan...

Not just that, ada setengah manusia bukannya kaya pun tapi berlagak lebih...That sounds familiar to me coz I met that type of 'person' before and it was a bad mistakep:-p... Well, people will always assume many things but the wise one will understand well...

DiGi iPhone 4 Play

I don't own an Iphone but I have a friend who has and I'll be the 'temporary-stealer' every time we meet. And he'll say 'Hayoo, you got no one's hp to use is it ha??'..Hahha...Sorry John... Anyway the only reason I borrowed his Iphone is just to play one particular game which is Angry Birds. My partner always says that I don't use my logic to do certain things or I'm lazy to use my brain to think before doing something so while scrolling John's Iphone, I saw this game and think 'Why not?'...It was hard at first but eventually it is quite fun as I need to plan strategically before launching and attack...Therefore, indirectly I'm actually using my brain...And not just it is fun, the bird is cute as well:-)

F1 Singapore fever

Watched FI Singapore on TV earlier and amazed on how well their main road are built up to the point they can organize a Formula One race!!! Hell yea... Singapore is a small country but yet they're more advance that us...They must be proud of that...

DiGi iPhone 4 Me

Well, enough said that Digi has launch it first ever new Iphone4 for customers on the 24th September 2010. When I first saw the Iphone 3G, I was like..oohh ok...Just like a normal usual PDA so-called...So when the Iphone4 was launch and I saw its advert on TV, I was like, I need to get that, but..........not for me, it is for someone I care for long time...I know it sound ridiculous, it is for my partner. For the past 3 years, I have never actually get a gift for him...He's been wearing old clothes, old phone, or other current things that he has. And for this, it would be good if he has something new once in his life and since it is our 3rd year anniversary next month, I'll be happy to see his smiling face and tears of joy running down his cheeks.

apa adanya dengan boyfriend mat salleh

What to be proud of if you have an English boyfriend?? I don't discriminate but some people just like to show off when they have an English boyfriend. They're human as well..Weird right?? Mentang-mentang ada boyfriend mat salleh, menjaja satu dunia. I'm saying this not out of envy but I don't know why people wants to show off...Mat salleh bila ada girlfriend Asian, tak nampak pun diaorang nak menunjuk...We Asians are the one who's soooo effin' proud with them..I don't see they feel the same as us...Well everyone has their own right...Enough said.

Have to meet one of my classmate later for group discussion on a Sunday morning...Sad,so sad!!! What a life I have..There's always sacrifice to be made when you study and working at the same time...

saurday nite life

Stuck at home watching TV and updating my Cafe World. Sad isn't it. Fells like I'm a 8o years old grandma stuck in a 18 years old teenager...Life oh life

inspiring saying

Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

Orison Swett Marden

Have you ever felt envy towards another person especially the person that you know??? I did. Why?? I've always wanted to be better or the best from the circle of friends that I have. Whatever that person has, I want much better than him/her. I had that attitude from young itself (my parent didn't teacht me that ok:-) )... But eventually the feeling became cool... I tell myself to be moderate and be grateful with what I have. I may not have a BMW (that's my dream car) or a big villa or hold any important post in a company but at least with the amount of achievement in my life, I can say that I'm proud too just like others...Different people has different achievement. It all depends on how you look at it... Some people like to show off and some prefer it lay low.

motivational quote of the day

"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything."

~Napoleon Hill~

*went to work quite late..That's the advantage of working in a MNC company *smile*.

*raining the whole day-almost. Felt so lazy to work due to the cold whether. How good if I can sleep the whole day.

*bought nasi kandar for dinner

*had Nestum for breakfast:-)

*had rice for lunch

Gosh, if I'm a person who can easily put on weight, I' be fat forever with the amount of rice I have everyday. On top of that I have a stock of bread, chocolate biscuit. cereal in my office drawer.

love quote of the day

“Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it is better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.”

I'm just tired of pleasing others when my own feeling is being ignored

0030 hours

I'm suppose to be in bed at this time or sleeping late doing my revision but blogging is what I do instead. I just had my supper. Nasi Kandar..Small girl with big appetite and high metabolism rate..I know.. Did some revision for tomorrow's exam and what the hell, I only know partial of what I studied...God, please give me some space in my brain so that I can absorb what I learnt.

Tired, fatigue and etc is is my blood now and I have to tolerate all this for the next 2 or 3 years. Can I?...As on my FB wall post, why can't a millionaire come to me and propose??? Ya, keep dreaming girl *laugh out loud*.... Fingers crossed and pray hard that I will pass my midterm or else I'll have to work my ass off for the final...Why is this so hard??? Other people make it look so easy as peanut...

sayings of the day

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a

limited time on earth --

and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that

we will begin to live

each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the

things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off

the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade

winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

can I or can't I

Past few days has been hectic as I slept quite late due to my mid-term exam which will be this Wednesday. It felt like I just attended my first MBA class and now it is mid-term (almost towards the end of semester). But to be honest, my confidence has yet to come and I don't even feel it. So I'm not sure about all this. Maybe because I have to juggle between work and study at the same. How on earth am I going to pursue my PhD if I can't even handle this. I envy some people who manage to to do 2 things at the same time. They're strong enough and I'm not but I hope I'll learn eventually throughout these 2 years of masters. Wonder how these people manage it.

Left office sharp 4pm as I had to rush home just to do my revision as I know by the end of the day, I'll be damn tired. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

Quote of the Day

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it dosent, then it was never meant to be.

Anonymous

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Marilyn Monroe

activity after a week long holiday

Went for dinner in Nando's as we do not know where and what to eat. And since I got the vouchers given by my boss, so why not? We watched movie after that, The King of Fighters..Cheap budget movie...

way back home

this pic were taken when we were in Carefourre Seberang Jaya

credit to myself for the picture

Picture were taken while on the way back from Perlis after a week long of Raya break. The family decided to have a 3 days short break to Penang. Coincidently I have to go back as well as I'm working the next day. The person sitting next to me is my sister. We stayed at my aunt's house. Daddy had to send me to work the next day as I don't have any transport.

past memory sometimes haunt you

You know sometimes, you tend to think back your good old days right. You think you made the wrong decision or you're not sure if what you do will affect the person next to you. Sometimes, you try not to think but the harder you try, the closer it comes to you. You've made the wrong decision but you don't want to admit it. Tapi kadang-kadang kita akan teringatkan orang yang kita sakiti. Hidup jadi tak tenteram memikirkan perkara yang lalu.

Dulu kita ingat, perasaan sayang takkan timbul tapi bila bersua kembali, hati jadi lain tapi kita tahu there's nothing we can do. Memang sakit hati bila kita tahu, yang orang kita sayang tak mungkin akan kembali pada kita. Dulu kita naif, tak sabar, selalu inginkan sesuatu yang lebih dari apa yang kita ada. Kita tak sedar yang oranag yang di depan kita sebenarnya sayang kan kita. Kita abaikan mereka sehinggalah satu saat, kita sedar kita telah membuat keputusan yang salah tapi masa dah terlambat. Kita dah tak mampu mengubah apa-apa.

The last thing we can do is to pray for his/her happiness. Moga di panjangkan jodoh si dia. Kadang-kadang kita terpaksa melepaskan orang yang kita sayang demi kebahagiaan dia. Tapi kita tetap bersyukur kerana dia pernah satu ketika dulu menyayangi diri kita.

ex-6th Form SMPERLIS raya visits

One of them called me up and suggested. We took the time to pose and take some pictures as well. And I think I'm hook with DSLR camera. I'll save up some money to get myself one and BFF, you will be my training model ok. But for FREE!!!. So feast your eyes on the pictures....

SMKPUTRA reunion and karaoke session:-)

Well, SMKPUTRA reunion went well even though some of them cancelled at a very last minute..Already expected that. Only a few of us attended. Basically mostly those who attended last year's reunion. Most important is we get to meet each other and we had a very long chat. After the dinner I suggested we go for karaoke:-)... We headed to this new karaoke center. Not bad.At least better than the one we went last year. Maybe because it is still new. So enjoy the photos. To those who did not attended, hope to see you guys next year.
