Gudbye 2007!

I'm blogging at the office now. It's 31st Dec today. Well, tomorrow is new year guys!! But, Terengganu is not really celebrating it since the office still opens tomorrow. So, no late nite celebrating new year for me. Gotta work, meh!

So what has been achieved this year?

1- Driving on my own from kerteh to melaka (maybe not a big achievement to some, but it is, to me)
2- Bought sofa for my parents's house in melaka
3- Reduce dependability to credit card (major improvement than last year!)
4- Trip to Bandung with friends

Plan for tomorrow, and the day after....(next year laa..hehe)?

1- Buy my own house
2- Snorkelling trip with my friends
3- Trip to Gold Coast!

Well, what about YOU?

Hello people!

How's ur hols? Mine is not really much to tell except being a driver to my mom and siblings. But the good thing is, I just follow my guts to travel the road less travelled. Well, the road to my kampung, what else! I was thinking to just take the hi-way but at the 11th hour, decided to do the "banjir road". Luckily, the road is much drier and one of the reported "jambatan runtuh" has been constructed. But it was quite scary gak la coz actually it was quite a big gamble. The water was about to spill on the road (especially the road in segamat)and at certain places,it was already on the road, but not that deep. My mighty myvi manage to get thru. Pheww...

During the quite long holiday (I took a week off), my family and I initially plan to travel to JB to visit our dear aunt there but unluckily, my gaji didn't keluar at expected date. So, travel to Melaka je la..But I tried as hard as I can to avoid the shopping complexes. Pokai ler..hehe..

During the hari raya, my mom cooked nasi beriani. I really enjoyed it with my family since my mom's family from serkam also joined us for the "makan-makan". My mom is really a good cook and so is my dad. My dad used to cook for "orang kahwin". Both of them are "terror" gilerr but the children langsung tak bole pakai...hmmm...who should be blamed for that?

So, what else? Let's check my phone:


The one thing that is always in my bedroom.



My anak angkat....boboy on a pony ride...I just soo fell in love with him these days..being with him for a whole week really make my heart heavy on leaving him...I called him every day now just to hear his voice...I just miss him sooo much! Upon reaching my home in Melaka, I took him to a pony ride at klebang. All my tiredness (5 hours drive k!)is gone when I see him smile...





More pictures of boboy with my bro and sis. We are actually in Tesco Melaka on 24th Dec at 1230 am..Since the day after is Christmas, Tesco extends its opening hours till 1am. We bought nothing there. Just wanted to fulfill the lil fella's demand on going to Tesco. I had just sent my aunt to her home and on our way back to my house, upon seeing Tesco, Boboy wanted to go there. I just go "cair" with him..

I also had a very intersting story to tell bout my sis on the picture above. 2 days at home, my sis complained to me that her friend stole her handphone. She didn't want to tell my parents for fear being scolded. But I just had to tell them coz we need to go the thief house that very nite and I see no other reason to tell my parents. And no, they are not mad with her. So, off we went to her house. It's quite far from my house. Bout half an hour drive gakla. I thot my sis knew her house but it turned out that she didn't. What she knew is the direction to the thief house and the landmark near the thief house. That nite, we went searching for that girl's house. It's quite funny coz the girl is living in a kampung and you thot that living in a kampung, surely the villagers knew each other. I was soooo wrong! After going to several houses, no one knew the father of the girl, let alone the girl. At our very last attempt to find the house (we were ready to give up and head back home), we found the house. But the girl was not home. So, we told her parents the whole stories. They ensured us to ask their daughter to return back the phone. And I thot that's the end of it. Nope. On the way back home, suddenly my bro and sis wanted to go to Melaka Sentral for McD. We saw her there with her bf. And of course she ran away upon seeing my sis. They took off with a Wira standby near the road. So much drama! The next day, we reported it to the police. Just becoz of a handphone (anyway it cost only RM400), your life is over. Stupid girl!

Not in festive mood..

I'm going back to Melaka tomorrow for Hari raya AidilAdha celebration, but it wouldn't be an enjoyable one coz:

1- I just got my first traffic summon. My dad called me the other day bout the "love" letter. I called my uncle, who is also a traffic policeman (boy, I know, I'm lucky..but err..not really), asking his help to settle this one and he assured me that I could appeal and pay lesser amount. The RM300 will surely put a hole in my pocket. Glad to hear that I'll be paying less but I had just confirmed with one of the police station and they told me no reduction since the summon was during Ops Sikap. Gosshhhh...Should I just cry? My first summon and I have to pay full amount..sob..sob..

2-It's flood all over...including the road that I regularly used to travel to Melaka. Just called my friend who happens to travel back to Melaka yesterday and he took the hi-way. I just hate it! The hi-way will add up 1 to 2 hours to my travelling time. I'm gonna get back ache!

I just hate everything now....

P/S: Hope everyone will enjoy ur hols..me..not..

One more!

Your Life is Better Than 63% of All People

You really have things pretty good - so stop a minute and appreciate how great your life is. You likely have a cheery outlook, supportive friends, and plenty to keep you happily busy. You are usually content - and with good reason. You have a lot to be happy about. So when things don't go well, remember that you have it better than most people!

How Does Your Life Compare?

Chocolates!

You are Dark Chocolate

You live your life with intensity, always going full force. You push yourself (and others) to the limit... you want more than you can handle. An extreme person, you challenge and inspire the world!

What Kind of Chocolate Are You?

P/S: Bee, I WISH it could be true..tgah carik sources la nih...:p

Girls, girls, girls...

Warning: This is about me ranting bout things I didn't want to think...YOU do the thinking!

Sometimes, I just wanna be alone..

I don't know why, but after getting so used to smaller group of girls in the office, when there is sudden surge in the numbers (my company is growing, and it gets harder to get good male candidates suitable for the job), I feel soo alienated. I am friendly and maybe nice (rite??), so I don't see why I can't see myself fit in. But that's what happened now.

Izit becoz of:

1-Jealousy: Before this not so many girls, and single girls even less (me and the other co-worker). So I don't feel any competition to get my colleague's attention. It's not like flirting or what, but attention. It's like sharing jokes, getting someone to buy you things are a lot easier back then. But now, so many girls, so you gotta really stand out. I just hate it.

2-Age: Yeah, I admit that among the girls in the office, I can be considered as one of the eldest (and wiser, of coz!). But the age gap does not vary much, about 2 to 5 years gap. I don't know why, but I feel that I just can't join the conversation. I really try to but sometimes, I just don;t get it.

3-Seniority: Yup, I'm one of the pioneers in the office. I just can't help it. Sometimes, when other girls are doing things, or suggesting things for the office, I keep comparing myself, being more senior, should have the upper hand, becoz, hey, we were here first! But I know, shouldn't think like that.

4-Me: I think I need to improve my PR skills. I admitted that sometimes, when the girls lepak in the pantry, I didn't join them (I'm busy) and even if I have free time, I didn't join the group till the end of "discussions". I just have to get away. Maybe it's caused by all the factors above, or maybe bcoz, I just wanna be alone. If I'm the only one feeling left out, while others feel OK, then it must be becoz of me, rite?

The bad thing is, I didn't enjoy my job as I used to be. Maybe I need some more time to get myself adapted to the new surrounding. It's either me or the WORLD (whatever it means..I just don't care). Of course it's gonna be me...sigh...

Apologize?

It's weekend again!...so, what did i do today? went to pasar tani to get myself a beautiful "cinderella silk" for my raya haji outfit...and i just lurve the pasar tani. but i forgot to take pictures there..and somemore, it rained like hell..shopping under the umbrella...hmm..where did you guys go? It's YES (Year End Sale) now. I was there last week but for a very short trip, and keeping myself out of the shopping complex is like a herculean task..i need to save up some money for a very important trip next year, so, gotta be very stingy la nowadays..

Rite now, i'm listening to one of my fav song, "Apologize" by one republic, featuring timbaland. timbaland is everywhere nowadays..maybe i shud just get (read: download..hehe..thank you bitcomet..) his latest album. here goes the lyric of Apologize:

OneRepublic - Apologize lyrics

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...

Ok, peeps...enjoy ur weekend k!

Your EQ is 120

You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. On an average day, you're quite happy, together, and content. You live your life well. Your emotions aren't always stable, but you can go along with the ups and downs pretty well. You tend to be motivated, energetic, focused, and level headed. You see the world pretty rationally, and you don't tend to over dramatize things. When things are bad, you know they eventually have to get better.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Helen The Baby Fox..sob..sob..

Maybe I wanna have a good cry, or maybe I didn’t expect to cry at all. Last few nite, while relaxing on my comfy chair, watching tv, all I wanna do is relax and watch fun movies. The title of the movie, really caught my attention. In my mind, I thot it was some kind of tarzan movie. Someone looks after the animal and they bonded and they lived happily ever after. Well, I got some part rite (except live happily ever after). But I didn’t expect myself to cry so hard at the end of the movie. It is really a heartwarming movie. Here is the synopsis:

Synopsis
Early spring in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Taichi, a young boy who tends to be a dreamer, has just arrived from the big city to live with his mother’s new boyfriend, a veterinarian, and his daughter. One day after school, Taichi discovers the cub of a northern fox crouching near the side of the road and despite the objections of those around him, decides to take care of the lovable creature. The baby fox cannot see, cannot hear and cannot bark. Even when offered milk, it just ignore. So Taichi names it Helen, after Helen Keller, the first blind, deaf and mute woman who was able to communicate using the sign language. Helen responds to Taichi’s devoted caring efforts and begins to strive for live, in spite of her frail body. The boy and his veterinarian family watch over her with encouragement and love.

I just lurvvvee the movie. You have no soul if you didn't cry at the end of the movie. The poor animal died due to brain damage. I searched the net for this movie (just to have some info) and later discovered that is actually a true story.The story is based on an incident actually experienced by TAKETAZU Minoru, who is involved in wildlife conservation in Hokkaido.

You just have to watch it! It's been played on Astro Kirana (say whatever, I'm not promoting Astro, but this movie is a must watch).
