Updates on Granny

Granny had her ops yesterday and the ops was successful. She was placed in ICU yesterday after the ops for monitoring.
Should be pushed out by today.
Anyways, continue praying for her recovery.

Thank You....

Prayer Needed

My granny had a fall on Christmas Eve. We were having a pot luck dinner at my bro's and she fell and cracked her hip bone.

Since 25th dec , she has been in the hospital. One bad thing lead to another. The dr who was suppose to perform surgery on her, suddenly fell sick and just place another dr to do the ops. It happened to be a M and most of my uncles and aunties refuse to have a M treat my granny (aii..see... what happens even if you're a good M , people will think that ou're not good coz you might have gotten the position due to your color).

After fasting last nite, she was told that she couldn't go thru with the ops. So today another C dr was assigned to her and the surgery is due tomorrow.

please pray for my granny. She is 87 years old. Pray that everything will be ok and that she will pull thru the surgery.

My granny is the sweetest person you can find. A faithful servant of God.
So JC, please bless her and protect her when she goes for her ops tomorrow.....
AMEN.

Merry Christmas

Christmas is here!!!! I know - I am abit slow in posting. Not so much of not having time but just merely lazy hehehe. Still not too late to wish you guys Merry Christmas happy new year to my few readers - Ringgit, Gracie, Bahija.....

On the 24th of Dec, it being a Sunday, I went to church. Not having been able to make it for the confessions sessions around the churches where i live, I decided to do it before sunday mass. And before that I had a shitty walk to the church hehee. I stepped on some dog poo. So i had to go cleaned up my sandles on the grass and having not successfully in cleaning it totally - I had to resort to going to the tap and washing it with water. Hey can't see ma, at 7am in the morning. Still half asleep leh.
After the cleaning up, I passed by the confessional box and saw the light was green. Decided to step in and my clean my spiritual house bfore XMAS.

Since I won't be telling you what i confessed, I have to say this, the priest does see you face clearly, as I have had to kneel facing the wired window. During the course of the confession - as part of the explanation and such, he asked me do you love yourself? I said NO. And he said to me, ( i guess he was very surprised), you are very honest. :P Yeah I am very honest but look at where honesty has brought me so far. Down the rubber tubes.

Before I left for my vacation, one of my colleagues asked me what my new year resoluton would be. Well his actual words was.. so what you wanna achieve for next year. I hate making resolutions coz pondering over the year, I don't think I have managed to conquered much of the resolutions I made. But these are few of things that i would like to achieve.

1) Lose 5 kgs. so that I won't be depressed when I go out and buy clothes esp the thunder upper arms and thunder tighs and the rounded belly.

2) take care of my health - don't want no infection no more.

3) Remember to take vitamis and supplements to help achieve goal no 2.

Hopefully having a shorter resolution means the probablity of achieving them is higher.. kekekeke. *DREAMING*

my sista celebrated her 40th birthday on 23rd of DEC. 24th of DEC was my late sister in law's b-day.

Getting old isn't fun............. But i tell ya! she don't look 40 at all..

Day 3 of Break

Whoaaaaa.. time sure flies.
I am already into Day 3 of my break.
hehehe , there is actually nothing much to report as I have been doing nothing either.

Woke up around 9.30am. Still feeling tired. I think I am lack of some kind of vitamins. Head still feels heavy.

After breakie around 10+ decided to wrap all my presents. and place it under the tree. That tooks me to about 12pm. Had lunch and proceed to help my mom make pie tee shell.
Mom had to leave the house to go do something else around 2pm so I had to finish the task all by myself and glad to say it was done at 2.30pm.

Its now 3pm... couple more hours before the end of the day hits.

Day 2 of Break

Day 2 is almost coming to an end. 2 days gone just like that, nothing achived nothing done hehee. Yeah, one might think that isn't that what a vacation/break suppose to be!?
Yeah in a sense but still!!!

Woke up early, by 7.30am was out of the house, headed to collect my new travel document. Darn, they minus one day off from the expiry date...weird. it has always been 4th june XXXX but i noticed this new document had it as 3rd June XXXX. Hmmm... maybe they decided that 3rd is a better no? no point arguing with those govt buggers. Waste of time and breathe only really......

I got back and tried to sleep but tak jadi lerr... kepala pening. Rumah bising... suara ini suara itu... GRRRRRRRR....

started reading SHANTARAM - Gregory David Roberts. Heard that this book has now been banned here. I rented this one. But its like huge!!! THICKKKKKK.... will let you know if its worth the reading.....

Break Begins

Today I am official off work until next year. To achieve this, I actually have to clear 7 days of my annual vacation days. Well might as well, since to bring even a max of 5 days over - u need approval and a valid reason. Aii.. military , i tell you!!!!
Alcatraz is really alcatraz.... aiiii

Anyways, since I have been very extremely stressed and plagued with illness, this is a good thing. I took the opportunity to actually go renew my travel document which meant I have to be awake at 6+ and be at the place around 7+ as to start queueing for no. Aii.. life here when dealing with govt agencies.

hehehe.. farni thing happened again, i met someone I haven't seen since secondary school hehehe. she asked me, you from MGS, from prefectorial board before? yeah i said.. i said i remember you but can't exactly rememeber your name, something like T? she said yes!!! Gosh!!! memory not bad leh for an ageing person like me :P
Then after the whole episode of queueing and waiting, after we left that place, we called an old friend so that this T can speak to her. T has been living in Melb for the lats 3.5 years - migrated there. Then when I called L, she immediately said, wow you sure have a way of meeting old friends. hahahaa. Coz couple of months ago, it happend to me also to another friend who now resides in the UK. And now we r all in touch.

Its beyond my control, God puts me in a place and He brings me to people He wants me to meet :)

On another note, I have been approached to attend Servant of the Lord's weekend. I was contemplating whether I should go as I have since left this ministry for long time. But I dunno what happened when I called the lady to find out more, at the end of the conversation it was just like a yes from me. WEIRDDDDDD *twilight zone song playing*

Well, I am going to enjoy my break!!!! and not think about work!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And please pray that I will be healed frm this sickness. Its really dragging me down fast.

IL DIVO

IL Divo will be coming to MY shores comes 16th of Jan. When I first read about this months ago, I was so excited. Finally I am able to see these hunks who could really sing live!!!!

Unfortunately, I found out the cheapest ticket cost RM500!!!!!! Ok I may love to attend the live show but ain't that siow yet.

RM500 - you could do alot with that.

:(

Better luck next time.

Did I jinx myself?

Its now 5am local time. I have up since 3.30am. Why?? Coz my coughing fit is unable to let me even sleep.

From 3.30am till now, I have been coughing non stop and I have already ran out of cough mixture.

What to do? Can't lie down. Each time I do that, the phelgm sort of runs up to the throat and irritate the shit out of it and the coughing fit starts. Also the nose sorta gets blocked too.

this is excruciating .....

Have to wait for a few more hours bfore i head to see the dr.
But I am so worried. I have so much task to do at work. But I am sick right. So I should be sort of excused.

DARN....
I want to get well before Christmas leh.

Rush Rush

I am glad to be home.
Since I am feeling better, I shall blog abit about how i felt as soon as I step foot at the bus depo in PJ. After 6 hours on my butt, when I finally got off and touched local soil, I was so relieved.

First thing I really felt was the calmness. Weird huh. I just felt that while I was at SG, the pace was so rush rush. Everywhere people are walking in drones and face pace. Crowded. I felt there was no room to breathe fresh air.

And when you look at those ppl's faces, rarely you can find someone who actually smiles sincerely. Well with exception if you're white in color lah huh.

I cherish this feeling of calmness and able to breathe more relax.

Abit of rush rush is good.. but too much... would be bad for health.

Back from the South

I left for the south island on Friday while still heavily sedated with cough mixture, throat lozenges and nose block medication.

I was so ready to bring out the gold card and shop after the 9 hours at church performing my pilgrimage on the 9 novenas.

Glad to say that I made it, I completed the it and spend 9 hours in church. Solely going thru one novena after another and with just 1 hour break for lunch.

Imagine, after 6 hours bus ride... reached where we were suppose to stay at 5pm. Then spend the nite having dinner and then sleep. We stayed with my friend's relative. Well seriously sometimes I feel its better to just stay at the hotel. Less obligation, you know what i mean.

sunday, i had to meet someone ( ringgit you know who). met the dragon lady also who half the time kept juling here and there. Then i saw her using her finger to push my little nep's head. What the F?

Anyways, I only 3 things, 1 pair of shoes , last supper clay display at the church and 1 PLASTIC bag (very cute one). Thats all. the gold card didn't come out at all neither did I even spend much cash.

And I came back with a worse off cough and worse sinus infection. Looks like things are not going well once more in the dept of health.

Currently typing and having a coughing fit.

Left camera at work. So will ake a picture once I am able and post it up hehehehe

Lucky?

hooo hooo... last Saturday was our annual D&D.

And guess what?? for the last lucky draw which was the 5 top lucky draw!!! my name was called - last! meaning i was suppose to win the grand prize under normal circumstances but due to the twist - they had us choose the prize, me having to go first. But suih betul lah my tangan, choose the least value one.. HAHAHAHHAHA.. luck loh

But out of the hundreds of people, I managed to be called leh!!!! I never won anything before ever and this is the first!!!!!

I won a panasonic microwave with grill but I can go the stipulated shop and change for something else that has the same value or if its more, then i top up!!! ok loh hor!!!! Won something

but my table is quite lucky this year. 2 guys won RM150 voucher and we also got second place for the table quiz!!!! hehehehe.. so 300 shared by 10 ppl. Not bad lah......

Good day mannn.

But on the bad side, i am sick today... :(

Lunch Conversation

I met up with a friend this afternoon for lunch.
I was actually already on my way to the bank when she called. So we agreed to meet after i finish my stuff at the bank. But when I got to the bank, the crowd was too huge so I ended up abandoning the whole task.

Had lunch with her at Coffee Bean. I hardly see her esp after she got married and now with a small little boy. Sorry to say but i totally despise the husband. Totally china pek and very condesending type of person.

First thing she says was, eh you ever think about living the country? I guess thats whats on everyone's mind. She plans to migrate when her child is bigger. Hmmm..

I guess thats understandable esp with all the negative publicity lately.

How i really feel.... has changed alot.. but thats a story for next time...

TAR Asia

Eh... i am glad that the two filipina gals are eliminated. WHY? SO BIMBO lah..
Talk about make up lah how they look lah.. please lah. Diggin sand also ask if its SEXY. Aiyoh gives such a wrong impression of women...
Not like they are so hot anyways..

Glad they got booted out.

But i was kinda disappointed that the other filipina couple got booted out 2 episodes ago.... I would think they would have done well but unfortunately just unlucky this time.

Staring

Of late I realized that Malaysians are quite a rude lot. Well maybe all the while they have been but just that this staring bit is getting to me.

This had been happening quite alot lately and it sort of upset me.
I was at sushi king the other day, having lunch. There was this lady - supposely rich looking, with diamonds and what not and her 3 boys. I was seating alone eating (yes I do eat alone most of the time) and suddenly she was talking loudly on the phone. I just went on eating my food and suddenly i looked up and saw her staring at me and somemore juling juling wor. What the F?

Not like i knwo you!
Then yesterday during lunch time, I decided to get a new pair of shoes, as I just managed to kill the long life warts on my pinky toe. THANKS to Verrumal (and the pharmacist from watson that recommended it to me after the faield Duoflim). I was walking minding my own business like always and this girl walking infront of me just blatantly stared at me?? WHAT THE H? I don't even know you BIATCH.

malaysians should learn how to look more discretely without getting off as STARING rudely.

Piss me off man....

On the lighter note, I decided to indulge abit and bought myself a ninewest shoes. Its covered since heresay goes, office will be implementing strict rules on dressing pretty soon. And I just weighed myself, even after the monthly water retention period... I am still lighter by 2 kgs. YAHOOOO.... 3 more KGS to go....

But why ppl say they can't see the difference ah.. DARN!

What a Monday

Today is such a weird day...

As usual, on Sunday night my monday blues would have already set in. But yesterday I was just too tired to even think. I hit the sack and didn't wake up until 5.30am.

I got to work and at 9am they had some briefing on some revised benefits. Ok.... since I am single it doesn't affect me that much. But in some ways it much better than the current one we have. These changes will take effect comes Jan 1st

So half a day was pretty much gone.

Then about 4.30... Big Boss had to come over and check on the thing she asked me to do.. Hey.. i am an adult been in the working world for 10 blinking years. Show a little trust lah. Anyways... you know why it pisses me off. Coz she does that Every bloodee single day since she gave me the assignment!!!! And then around that time too i got a new ticket on an issue they had on last friday!!! and I am suppose to find out the root cause of the disk full issue when the disk had been cleared by second level and machine rebooted. Syslog gone!!!!!! Audit file truncated to make space!!!! How to troubleshoot... Pea brain.

GRRRRRRRRRRR

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

On a lighter note.... I did lose weight.. hahaha!!!!! i can feel it!!!! yahooo..
What did I do ? absolutely nothing!!! except freaking stressed at work and... eating less for breakfast and less for dinner... but still... not very healthy diet tho'

hopefully in Dec when I start my plum diet.. I will lose more weight... clear out all the toxins from my boday! hahahaha...

Darn, I am so not looking forward to going to work. Tonite I have read a bunch of documents... on things I have no clue about. Thats what happens when you Big B tries to show off! Volunteering to do stuff and then just dump the stuff to the lower level..

Shoes

Here are two pairs of shoes which i bought in SG in June.
I bought 3 pairs from Charles and Keith and have already worn all of them. The purple one i wore for the first time today. Its comfy... I love Wedges.... :P




I am making a trip to SG again next month. I am going to do the one day Novena. Novena usually spans for 9 weeks but this time I am doing all 9 in one day!!!! hehehee. Well my main novena is of course to pray for a good husband * muahahhahahaa* besides other things. Well I will try to squeeze in some shopping time. hmmm.. Get the gold card READY!

25th silver Jubilee

Today we celebrate the 25th Silver Jubilee of Choice Malaysia. Choice is a single adult ministry that I used to be active in. Imagine... its been like 3 years or more i haven't been active in this ministry. To show my support today I went for the Jubilee mass and tonite we will have a dinner. The ticket for the Dinner is quite pricey but they claim 30% goes to charity. Which charity - that I yet to get the answer.

Anyways.... Its funny how certain things just have impact on us for a short span of time. so many weekends has gone by for choice. Each year choice holds about 2-3 weekends - stay in weekends. My weekend was held at a convent in cheras. Anyways.. its kinda sad to see that the church wasn't even half full. Even the front portion of the church ain't full. Each pew if there were people seating, holds only 2-3 people.

Seems to me after each weekend, everyone seemed to be so charged and as time goes by, the battery just runs out.

One thing that strike me which the priest said to day is to pray for all the singles out there and asked us to have peserverence and faith. coz with these two things, God will open up the doors in His time.

When the priest asked us to close our eyes and pray whats in our hearts. I pray to God to give me the strength to peservere and to have stronger faith in Him.

Faith to me seems like a rollercoster ride and has been for years!!! Its ups and downs... just makes me have a headache sometimes.

Future

In couple of weeks time, I would have been in the current company for 2 years already. I still remember my 1st year, i thot that I could never be able to survive past 1 year. And its gonna be 2 years. Time sure flies.

No, this entry is not about how happy I am. Its just me thinking about my future here in this company. I think if I am not one who prays 5 times a day, i am basically am facing a very bleak future.

We have 2 big shots visting this week in our team. Manager of our division. He is nice and so is the submanager of the group which I belong to. They are do freaking different from the local managers.

I am not sure what my future holds here. Increment is like peanuts... and if you are not of the right color, don't harap to get much lah. When I mean not much i really mean not much. I have heard people who gotten RM50 before.. WA that such big motivation ain't it?

Besides being someone of the right skin.. i am also not that type who suck up ,not an arse kisser for sure.

This company really focus alot of visibility. Even if you talk cock, to them thats still visibility. Bodoh rite? DARN bodoh..

Anyways... thinking about waht should I do next.

aint young no more... move or stay ... and be an anlyst till retirement.
So disheartening.

I can't even afford to buy my own house and thinking about buying a new car, i have think over 100X.

Stinker....

What A Day!

Today I had made an appointment with a friend - to meet her at around 3.30pm.
After lunch, I decided to take a short nap. And right around 2pm, it started to rain cats and dogs. So i sms'ed her informing her that i might not be able to make it coz its raining very heavily - a STORM. But after around 45 mins she sms'ed back saying that she would wait for me. I waited for the darn rain to at least subside and then drove out.

As you might already know, when it rains the traffic gets really bad as the irrigation system here is kinda bad. So expect flash floods. True enough when I past the first toll, on my right the water has risen up so high that it had over flowed to one section of the road. So 1 lane was closed and only 2 lanes were accessible. Cars were crawling.

I made it there and this friend of mine is kind of a dependent sort. She doesn't drive so every opportunity she has, she will make that other person be her driver. Took to whereever she wanted to go and then grabed something to eat and drove her back.

OOOOO the way back was worse. Way way before the toll to my home, the jam has already started. Crawling all the way. After about 45 min of crawling, and as I neared the toll, on my right i could see those RELA officers and the fire brigade. And ambulances... ooo apparently the water rose up so high till most of the road was covered and i could debris on the road like wood, etc. i could also see a bunch of ppl... at the shoulder of the road, i guess they had to be removed form their homes due the rising water. Horrible day huh.

Without the Rain we suffer the hot and haze, with the rain, we encounter flash floods. There is just no escape is there.

I got home.... changed into comfy clothes and at 9pm finally able to catch the second episode of Take5 - USA. It felt good that no one is fightin with me for the remote - I could watch whatever I wanted. :P this is becoz my dad has gone outstation for a wedding dinner and the little brats have been shooed to the room to sleep hehehee..

Then I was surfing channel and saw that AXN - Amazing Race Asia was on.. ooooohhhh GREAT. Missed the 1st episode on thursday and have been wondering whther they have any replays, finally saw it.. wowowowowow

What a DAY!....

Started up so-so, then abit of upheavel and ended just well :) SWEEEETTTTT

Family

Today I read at a radio station website about how this local comedian is a single mom and from the looks of the baby, looks like its adopted.

so she is a single mom. this brings out what once a friend said to me, that if i don't get married I could always adopt a child.

Here's my view on this. I totally believe in having the true family structure. Meaning the child should have a father and mother. I believe there is a term for this but that slips my mind at the moment.(esp after the war at work which is still ongoing which is darn tiring). If under some forseen circumstances, one of the parent has to exit from this world due to natural causes than I guess its unavoidable that one has no choice but be a single mom. I am not talking about those who choose to indulge in sexual activies before marriage and end up knocked up and having to be a single mom. Becoz they had a choice and they made their choice.

But I am talking more on the area where a lady who has reached a certain age and decided to adopt a baby so that her life would be complete. Maybe its a very nobel thing to do. But I strongly feel that that child should have a mother and father to grow up complete.

But of course that just my opinion.
I would want my child to grow up in a wholesome family environment.
But i do understand the feeling of inadequate having no children or husband at a certain age. Believe me that thought goes thru my mind each day without fail.

But all I can live on is Hope and mercy from God.

Killer Heels

Today my co-worker wore this to work. Something she acquired in Dallas.
So high leh.... how she walk ah. Furthermore, she is a tall person. like above 5'5" below 6' i think.



Turns heads everywhere she went. And she was wearing like a mini.
hmm.. no wonder HR is coming up with dress code.. kekekeke

Holly Crap

Today was a totally bad day.
Firstly after sending an email as commanded, i get an email back from boss saying that i need to improve on my email communication skills. To avoid recycles. WHAT THE F?

Secondly we had a war btwn ops and TS. Shit! Boss raised voice.. the other boss also raised voice. I was shocked... so unprofessional but at least my boss stood by the team!!!!!

One brownie point for her.

Totally scary. Now i dunno how both teams can work together from now on. It would be so awkward......

Pray for me lah, i get to move out from this shit team.

on a happier note. I have been connected for 1 hour and broadband seems ok. Pray its permanently fixed.

wow look at her sing.....

check this out.

sorry ah.. dunno how to embed the youtube thingy in here. hahahahhaa

Investing in Technology

With research and innovation moving so fast, I wonder if its worth while investing in technology?

I bought my digital camera about 2years+ now..... and.... its probaby worth not much now. I would like to upgrade my camera as the one i have now, its not that great and also the interval btwn takes is kind slow. But then I don't want to just discard it like that. Stil $$$$.

Hence I was wondering whether there is anyway I am trade in this camera? Anyone knows?

Room Service

I found this email that I had printed out on 27th May 98. Yeah I was to do some spring cleaning in my room due to some unforseen circumstances.

HEHEHEE.... i would have given up already.

Anger Management

Just yesterday, someone at work told me that he needed to go for anger management class.

I have been watching myself more closely. I think I need one too.

After alot of frustrating calls to the broadband operator, I tried again today. Coz having worked 24 hours yesterday - half of that amt from home and having to have frequent disconnection, really made my blood boil.

I tried calling them the whole freaking day and managed to get thru only at 7.45pm!!!!!!! Then that bugger wanted to close the ticket and open a new one. So i asked her, what diff does it make. Another new ticket won't help me resolve the issue. I REFUSED. I WANT THIS BLOODEE TICKET KEPT OPENED UNTIL RESOLVED. I DONT FREAKING CARE!

I think i scared the shit out of her.

Asked her if i could cancel, she said contract for 1 year but you can write to custcare! if custcare are all FREAKING IDIOTS like them in Call center... it will be a futile effort.

I seriously think I need anger mgt class also.

Back to Work

Today traffic was a breeze. I reached the office at 7.15am... oooooo... But still i can't knock off till 5pm. Isn't that sad. Anyways.. its ok....

I have alot of things to do.... but it was just like having monday blues... the brain also feeling blue.. hahahahaa

About the broadband problem. I have borrowed my brother's modem and tried. Still same problem wor. So its not modem problem is it??

Tak tau lah.. bayar duit tiap-tiap bulan tapi tak dapat guna servis dgn selesa.. tak guna betoi.

Conversation with Granny

At about 3pm today, I went to my granny's room (its also my niece and my nephew's room as they live with us now). My grandma was staying the rosary. I just slept on the mattress below while she was on the bed.

after she finished her prayers, she said to me.

Grandma: I always pray for everybody. I pray for you, for A, for your mummy.. for matt, for.. ..... about 10+ people. (ok all the cucu cicit lah coz my mom has 6 bro and sis).

Me: Thank You ah ma.

Grandma: I pray for you , your job ok. Whereever you go to work is ok.... and also pray that you find someone nice.

Me: Ah Ma you think i should give up praying ah for someone in my life?

Grandma: No.. I always pray for you but God haven't answered ( see she didn't say got didn't answer, she said God haven't answered) but if cannot find anyone, got good job is ok. Just be healthy and live until old old.

ME: ( at this point i just laughed what else can i say).

Dont' you think my Grandma is so cute. But she is kinda hard of hearing so you need to talk really loud... or else she can't hear.

at 5+ today I received another P1 called and I am not even on call. DAMN.... just shows someone tried to snake.

You Left We Stayed

Today there is an article in the lcoal paper the intrigued me. I believe I have spoken to ringgit before about this and I have said that some people who chose to move abroad like to stick the obvious into our faces.

anyways... if you like you can read this...
the article

I guess what you think is just a matter of opinion. Some people maybe different :P

but its a good read.

Snif Snif

Darn It! Dunno what happened!!! I have been sneezing since around 4+. Non stop. Something must be irritating my nose.

Gonna be long nite...

Took clarinase..

Eyes hurt....

Head hurtsssssss

Darn IT!

Hope for a Peaceful Long Break - DASHED

At approx 11.15am today, I received a phone call from my colleague. He is on standby this week. We had a P1 issue so he worked to 7am this morning. And at 7am this was passed to another guy. And the problem seem to be not resolved but instead had escalated to a level where the motherboard is kaput. So vendor is to come and fix it. the server is in Europe!!!!

ayways.. i am to be the next to receive the baton. SHIT! I was told to get enough rest as thebaton will be passed to me at 9pm tonite, if tings are not resolved.

There goes my break!!!

AIII being in IT sucks.

I totally want to get out. maybe do documentation work or process work. I think I would prefer that seeing that I do want to start get married and start a family eventually.... when the right person falls down from the sky.

Perks

After the horrible episode on Wed which I have to say I took a long time to calm down. I was kinda pissed until I decided not to talk to this bugger.

Anyways.. to compensate for this, I am off today due to replacement leave for tomorrow's public holiday and monday is also declared as holiday for us. Therefore I have along weekend. But alas, I have to go back to office on first day of raya.... to do something crap!

Anyways.. I am just going to enjoy my break doing nothing. I need the rest mentally and physically.

DUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I am so disappointed

This is going to a ranting post. So if you don't want to read it, you may close the page now.

I really don't understand people. Worse of all those who call themself managers.
I do alot of work for my manager. All the task given is always completed on time or even earlier. I do followups and get the job done. In one word Efficient.

I resolve my tickets always below the 2 weeks time period and sometimes within 2-3 days. So that means my queue is empty. Compared to ppl who kept tickets for more than 3 months or 6 months. So how come my boss don't see it as I am working efficient but keep thinking I don't have work? and is it fair to pass me some tickets from some idiotic team members who have been seating on the tickets for months? What is she thinking? And the ironic thing is, I generate the stats for her every month!!!!! BLIND???? CHOOSE TO BE BLIND??? Go figure.. BIATCHHHH......

and how disappointing it is when you have idiotic team members who stab you right infront of you face. To counter the attack today at the meeting, i went back and wrote email.. to THEM Bastards and cc my boss. I don't care if my boss does nothing but most importantly i stated my case and protected my ARSE.

I hate these F*** face people. Anyways.. i am so dishearten and disappointed at the moment, and I am beginning to feel that waking up in the morning to go to work just isn't worth it no more. When you are hardworking but unfortunately not appreciated compared to those who don't work but really good at sucking up... gets the pat on the shoulder for doing nothing.

I AM FED UP..
I AM TIRED
I JUST FEEL LIKE I WANNA GIVE UP!

About Reading

Yesterday, I went to SP to return some books which i borrowed and have finished reading.
My friend wanted to follow. I gave the book to the counter and then proceed to browse thru the books. She just stood there beside me and was agitated. She asked me, you want to borrow book is it? I said hell yeah.. thats the whole point of coming and returning the book rite?

I said you should get some book and read also since you're always saying you're bored. She said, i can't read, i get migrane?? HUH? Well anyewyas, she said she never cultivated the habit to read. ain't that sad??

I can just forsee her being like my dad. Has nothing to do.... and will start getting senile faster than anyone and worse of all annoying everyone with irritating questions and habits.

And she said that she cant' stand being at home during weekends , she needs to go out. I was like do something. So after thinking I was bad coz i dind't have a passion.... now i don't feel so bad no more after see this...

NYEK NYEK

Whats Your Passion

I have just completed a 2 day business presentation course. I was bloodee stressful man.
But i was a darn good learning experience when you look back at the video to see what were your irking habits, etc.

On the first day the presentation would have to be about work. The second day, we had a session where we just have to talk about something you're passionate about!!!!

It got me thinking? Passionate about? Like what?? I don't know??? I dont have any sort of passion - some people love fishing, cooking , etc. So what do i hate?? I can't even say I actually have a hobby.

then I thought, ok i shall talk about reading, since i do read abou 2 books a month. So thats what I did.

So do you people out there have a passion that you can easily talk about when the need arise???

Maybe I should start to foster some kind of passion in something.

Being the Tour guide

Here are some pictures.

See, I dont make a good tour guide coz all i know about KL are the malls. If shopping is what you want to do then you call me hahahaha.

Well today we took a guest of ours to Batu Caves, Lake Gardens and Orchid park. I guess these are the few places i know. And i got my colleague to drive.

Lake Gardens is actually quite nice leh.... and Orchid park is not bad either, the entry fee is RM1 but the booth was closed so it was a free entry for us.

But really tho' where esle to take these visitors lah...

Bad Bad Me!

I didn't think it would be so soon right after I told myself i won't buying anything until I shed 2 kg. I actually bought 2 pairs of sandles. The same kind but different color.
Aii..
I hve been going thru the roller coaster of emotions again.
Anyways, I didn't buy any clothing. NADA. Its just been a couple of days I know but its good restrain anyways....
Shoes.. - the feet is not part of the anatomy which I am trying to shed weight HAHAHAHA. So its an exception no?

Do you Think I Can Do IT??

Today i went to watch "The Devil Wears Prada" - I have actually read the book about 1 year ago. But cant beat the visual effects of the clothes lah... Damn nice leh.

anyways, before the movie I went window shopping. I thot I would buy something you know since I-the -setan having some sales but it didn't happen. I keep telling myself that I don't this and that and surprisingly, I managed to get thru it.

Then I promised myself that I would not buy another outfit unless I m able to shed at least 2 kg.
You think thats a mission possible? or mission impossible.
If you know me, you would know that I can't resist junk food. And haven't ever sustained a full diet before. Coz my stomach would start singing a song if I do even skip a meal. :P

So??? DO-able or not!?

Pissed Off

I am pretty pissed off becoz its just been 2 months since I subscribed and paid for this bloodee Streamyx and its acting up again.
I haven't been able to like have continous connection or about 1 month now.
I don't believe TM takes this seriously. I called them to log a second ticket. But issue still not resolved.
Am using my dial up at the momen. Seems more reliable, if you ask me.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHH....

Gap

ooooo
I just read in a magazine that GAP is coming to town.
Its residence here would be at 1U.
Its suppose to move to its new home in OCT which is this month!!!
Well i suppose the goods in there are gonna cost like 3 to 4 times more than what we will get in the states. But at least it reached our shores. Cannot buy at least still can look see rite?I don't think its in SG yet .. hehehe...

TUTTTTTT

Random

I have been back for 1 week now. Hows things getting along? Pretty much back to the same pace besides having to do some reporting for my boss in excel?? EXCEL??? I can write you SQL statements in Oracle but EXCEL? Siow ah. I can even understand the complex Functions hehehee.
So for the past week I have been staring at the Excel sheet and trying to look like I am working. When everyone who passes by my places asking me, "working?" Kanasai (KNS) leh.

Anyways, I wanted to say Vios cars were used as TAXIS wor at the place I was for 2 weeks. Now I know I would not ever buy vios liao. TAXI LEH! When over here I can't even afford. Cilaka betoi. ehhehee.

Streamyx at apt is acting up again. Called to log a call again. And this freakin arse, when he started with the 3 test I am suppose to do before I log the call, I quickly cut him off and went thru all the three and SAID , I ALREADY DONE THAT FREAKING SHIT. and this is the second time I am logging this issue. THey reset the port yesterday but I was on the way home HOME. So I will test on MOnday, if the freaking problem is still there, I am going to write in a complain letter like officially. I only had this service for 2 months and I hardly had the chance to use. What the Heck!

You know even before I came back I have been having cravings. While I was at country X, I was having cravings for Asam laksa and then chili crabs. And guess what, I had the asam laksa but not the chili crab. But every freaking day, I feel like I want to have something tasty. But what is that something tasty.. I can't put my finger on it. Weird aye????

Aiii.. Every freaking person I meet I talking about moving/migrating.
Beh tahan.. KNS.

Bad mood lah.
Boh Mood lah...
Damn worried about the ageing process lah.
GRRRRRRR

The Lake House

I just finished watching the Lake House. Its the movie about love btwn different times.

Its a lovely story. I liked the scenery the most. Reminds me of the fall in the US. Beautiful. Fall is still my fav season. Chicago... ahhhh.. * dreaming*
and chicago is even better with Keanu in it.. hehehe.

Even if you dont like love story, at least watch it for its beautiful scenes/landscape.

I m back

Hello...
I am back. Arrived home around 4pm today.
I think hor, its my luck. I had a cab driver who decided to share his bed side manners and whatever not with me. DUH ain't interested dude. Mind you, he is like in his 50s???

Anyways.. glad to be back. While in that foreign place, i had craving for asam laksa. haha siow or not.
too much hotel food, sort of does that to you.

Good to say I met 9 new ppl in the team I was in. 3 very nice Thai people.
only 2 gals in the group and by the second week only 1 gal left.. - moi...

tired. .but glad to be home.
* everyone seems to think I am so young* even the company driver who drove me to the airport. At least he didnt' ask me wehther I am married or not . He did it very tactfully by sayig that I m still very young. only if they knew!!! kekekeke.

Thank you God for giving me this young look. But it has its cons.

gonna shower and unpack.

p/s - can you believe it, i didn't buy anyting.. Not a single thing for myself except for my colleague who insisted I buy the polo RL tshirt which is locally made - at the airport which is so good in quality and half in price. And I have to pay for the roaming charges of the phone call. Charging this all to him....

A new meaning

Surprise!!!! Yeah logging in illegally.. hahaha. Nah.. still via the co's network but you know i m going to keep this short and sweet.

Today is already more than a week I am here in this place. Couple of things happened while I was here.

1) 11/09/2006 now has a new meaning for me. I got stuck btwn the lift door and couldn't move. The colleagues in the lift tried to push the open button from inside the lift b ut nothing budge. Someone frm the back had to pull my laptop bag(thank God mine was a backpack). That saved my life. It was the scariest experience i ever had. The lift is a diff sort of lift. Its those Load balancing lift. Inside the lift u have no numbers of the floor. Prior to going into the lift you are to press that floor number at the number pad. Then it will show you which lift you would take. I guess the sensor sucks. Well.. since that day each time the lift comes and makes the ding sound I am the first to go in. Scary man... esp after what they told me happened to a guy in texas who had the same experience and lost his head in the unfortunate event.

2) up to Thursday I was fine and on Friday I started throwing up and Sat morning was the same. I am not sure if it was the food or was it becoz of the journey in the car which was kinda bumppy. Not the road bumppy silly. Traffic is so bad that the car keeps jerking to a stop. On Friday nite, I threw up in the car ( on a plastic bag lah). Then got back to the hotel and threw up sommore. Everything came out. Took a shower and went to bed. The next morning I felt find so I went out with the group for sightseeing. Mana tau.... On the way there my stomach got upset again and I threw up again. Since that my stomach hasn't been the same. I can't eat much. So I order food but I barely touch them.

3) Today is sunday, probably the last day for me to relax. The trip here has been extremely hectic. I think I have lost more hair than ever. Anyways.. today i shall go try the massage eventho' this will come out from my own pocket. Dun care lah. And probably a swim and jacuzzi.

Alrighty .... at the mean time keep me in your prayers that my stomach will heal.

Cheerio!

Hiatus for 2 weeks

There will most likely be no updates for 2 weeks. due to restrictions on getting on the internet to do personal stuff. You get my drift... living in somewhat alcatraz sort of env is not easy. :)

anyways, Broadband didn't get fixed. Phone person called at 10.05am yesterday to inform that he found a faulty equiptment at their place so thats mostly likely the problem. And he can't guarantee when it can be fixed. no point in coming to my place coz there i snothing to fixed there. DUH!!!!

Wasted a trip up for nothing... "inefficient I TELL YA!"

Clouded Mind

This morning I woke up at 6.45am. Why?? coz i had to rush from my hometown to my apt - reason?? Cos my broadband is not working and this certain broadband company told me that from their side they have checked and done all that they could.. yeah rigt! whatever...
So now they have asked me to make an appointment to get the telephone company guy to come over and look at my phone line. In a way, the broadband engineer/ or phone telephonist is trying to tell me that something is wrong with my phone line.

Reason why I had to get it done today is becoz tomorrow I leave for my assignement and won't be back for 2 blinking weeks. And by then my problem would have already been forgotten. You know when it comes to problem, the resolving party tend to have a forgetful mind... you know what i mean.

So now at 9.08am I am seating at my couch waiting for the blinking fella to come. When I still have some paper to complete before I leave tomorrow and what more my packing. Screw it I am taking minimum and utilizing the laundry dept at the hotel hahahaa....

U want me to go, you pay loh for my comfort.. hahahhaa bad hor.

Life is such isn't it? I am tired of being nice.

Oh yeah, 2 weeks ago I went to check my eyes, and my prescription has increased quite a bit on my right eye. During my session with the eye dr ( there is a name they are called but i forget and also don't wnat to waste my brain power to remember this), i asked him wehther wearing contact lenses will contain the increase?? I mean my prescription has been increasing every freaking year!!!!! He said only hard lense would actually help.... hmmm.. but I have heard ppl say the contrary. But then again, who is to defy the ever correct dr.. (hmmmm).

So my readers.... if there is any left! What do you think?? Should I attempt to try out wearing contacts permanent. I mean i do have a pair.. but I prefer the glasses.. why? Coz i am kopek kopek mata sungguh mengerikan . hahahahaha What say you!?

9.12am, belum datang lagi.. si orang ni..... ZZZzzzzZZZZZ

You are most wonderfulThere’s no one to compare with You Lord.


Wow...

Swoosh.....

How time flies.
Since last thursday was a public holiday, I took 1st and 4th off.
Time went by so fast. Its so unbelievable.
I came back home on 31st Aug after giving my apt a good round of mopping. Headed home, went to Mid V as you have seen in my last post.
Friday I went to cut my hair, yeah the RM13 one... Disaster as usual.... aii.. nevermind lah
And then in the afternoon went to change the prescription for my glasses. Yup. This IT industry not good for me. Prescription has been increasing every freaking year!!!!!!
And i don't know what happened to my sat and sun and now its monday, and its freaking me out.
I wanted to logon to my office but i decided i would worry more. So I didn't until now. Nothing major showed up in my inbox. So i m ok.

AII..... 4 more days to go bfore 2 doom weeks.

Focusing my energy

I have to admit I have these bad habits. When I am faced with stress or depression, these are the two things that I am very prone to do. This has been happening since university days.

1) Cut my hair
2) shopping.... - the feeling of needing to just buy buy buy. And the power of credit card.

I still remember for no 1. i have a uni mate who used to tell me, you're going to be bald if you keep going at this rate. ahhahaa. When i reached the US to embark on my Bachelor's degree, my hair was long , below the shoulder blade. When I graduated my hair was just slightly longer than chin length. hahahaa.

For the past 2 months, I can't seem to be able to control myself in buying unnecessary stuff. After buying I feel bad. Sounds very much like impulsive buyer rite? But on the contrary I those who think alot until the stuff get whack off by someone else. I really don't know what happened to me.

I need to curb these habits thats for sure.
I need to stop buying....

I told myself today that I will only shop another new item for myself when I manage to drop at least 1 kg or 2kg. So far my quest has been very unsuccessful.

So i told myself till i at least lose some weight, I shall not buy anymore clothes.. NADA NADAAAAAAAA....

I think i need to focus my energy on something else. So I won't go to shopping mall or think about shopping. Was thinking along the lines of like getting involve in some activity may it be hobby or exercise or something.... any suggestions??


STRESSSSS......

Alamak....

About probably 8-9 years ago, I would have catogized Espirit as beyond my budget.
But since this past year or so, I can say that I have started to indulge abit loh.

Today I went to Mid val. Yeah I know what you're thinking, "suicidal". Well with God's help for sure, I managed to get a parking space. Couple of weeks ago, I saw this wallet, really nice, leather one. One of the few leather ones that I saw in Espirit. Most of them are like those man made material which also cost about the same.

When I got to the store, there was a huge crowd. Apparently there they were having some huge sales up to 50%. I found the wallet on one of the racks. GREAT AND ITS 30% off.
I took it to the counter and asked them for a new one. Yeah coz the display one had some scratches on it. Ain't gonna pay 100+ for a scratched one. I waited and waited while the sales person at the counter goes thru drawer by drawer. And then punched into the system, and go back to drawers. I overheard her telling another sales lady there should be like 4 more or something. Then after searching for about 5+ min, she gave up and said, she believes its all sold out and that was the only one.

I had to say I don't want it... :(
I could feel my heart breaking but I ain't gonna pay for something scratched unless its like 70% off. :(((

My luck....

And you know what else, alot of auntie auntie buying espirit lah... farni hor!!!! But they all pay cash one.. all the rich ladies.

Anxiety Attack.

Last nite, 5 of us went to Saisaki for Jap buffet. The spread was good. Eat quite alot till i could hardly walk. thats another thing that is sabotating my diet plan

I couldn't sleep last nite, I had an anxiety attack. All kind of stuff going thru my mind but the major concern was the documentation that I hope to get before I go on my mission. But its less than a week, I am not even sure whether I will get them bfore I leave. And to add on to the stress, I haven't even sent the list yet.

At 7am I as at the office already. I quickly go thru my list and then I sent the email to my lead requesting for all the required information/document. Then the whole day went by so fast. i could die. So many things still undone.

And I am on leave till monday. Gosh..I hope everything will go well or else this will be the last of my career.... :(

So stress lahhhhhh...

Safe And Sound

Okay.. Today was the D-day that I was to go back to the Emb to collect my precious passport.

Eventho' it drizzle slightly, I managed to get parking at this place next to the Emb. Walked over and it was a breeze. Just go thru the door, no crowd absolutely. And got the pass and walked right up. Standing in queue. A cute gentleman saw me.. and pointed to me to give my little receipt to the counter. Before that he said, you should sign the back first. I was so shocked such a cutie spoke to me, I just nodded and went to the side table and signed the blady paper and didn't even thank him :( He doesn't even work there, he is was there to collect his visa too.

HAHAHAAA..

Anyways.. passport and visa is all good......
Thank You Lord!!!!!!!

P/S, had my ranking results today.. Good or not ah.....Let me think whether i wanna reveal or not. Never know who's patrolling the blogs.

Harrowing Experience

I wanted to blog about this yesterday but I had some other things to do when I got home hence I wasn’t able to get to it.

Yesterday I had to go to a certain embassy to get visa for my visit to a certain country next month. It’s mainly for work purposes. And since the ruling has changed, I must go in person to get it instead of going through the agent.

Since submission period begins at 9am. I left the office around 10 to 9. I had to do a U turn to get to the side of the embassy. There was suppose to be a parking place next to that Emb. After I did a U-turn and drove for abit, the cars were hardly moving. I could see like something blocking the way infront. When I got closer I noticed that there was a huge crowd outside the Emb. Gosh… But I had no choice rite, coz I need to get this done ASAP. I turned into the car park area next to the emb, the guy waves and say no more parking. DARN!. Have to drive out of the car park and then pass the huge crowd of people - all I believe waiting to get into the Emb.

I parked my car on the opposite side of the Emb and had to walk quite abit to use the overhead bridge to cross over. And walk for a bit more. I was told by a colleague that I am to use the left gate to enter if I am applying for visa. The right gate which had a huge crowd infront was for the national of that country. But the only problem I faced was that the left door is not opened and each time it opened to let a car in, people rushed in and they were chased out. Weird rite??? Anyways.. I tried asking, but the people standing inside the Emb kept saying visa is also at the right gate. Oh my Goodness, I am not going to squeeze thru among those seas of people to get in to get my visa.

In a state of panic, I called my colleague, he insisted that I shouldn’t go to the right gate. And said that it’s the left gate but I told him, they wouldn’t let me in. I was perspiring and panicking. Then I asked one last time to the person inside the left gate and was told once again that I am to use the right gate. At the same time when I was asking there was a gentleman also dressed up in office attire and asked the same question to the man, and the answer was the same. So I called out to him asking him whether he is applying for a visa and he said yes. I told him I said , we should ask one of the guards, we walked to the right gate and started asking but we were ignored and people just kept pushing us. I couldn’t move forward nor say anything and the crowd was like barbarian. At that point, I just felt that I know what its like to be part of a riot. Maybe the feeling is 10 times worse. When the man beside the guard heard this gentleman who kept yelling VISA VISA. The waved us to come forward to go inside.

GOSH I wouldn’t get thru. Everyone didn’t want to make way. They kept pushing me eventho I said excuse to let me thru. The gentleman who was standing behind me.. kept pushing me to move forward and said to me, you have to push your way thru. My goodness… horrible….

Finally got in and another long line begins..

This is the most harrowing experience, scary scary scary…

I still have to revisit the place to collect my passport ….. Please Lord let this be a better experience.

Aiiii

Its now late Sunday Evening. I hate sunday evenings.. coz its just telling me that monday is closer than ever.

I hardly did anything... And worse part of all I don't feel well. I have been sneezing and my cheek bone hurts... eyes are watery. Gosh I hope this will not lead to another sinus infection. these days, i get weary when i see a slight sign of flu.

well.. thats not actually I wanted to blog about. After the trying really hard to maintain the 3kg i lost while i was sick. I have now gained 2 kgs back. CRAP!

Its so hard to maintain what more lose weight.

I seriously don't know what to do. maybe I should start starving myself? Would that really help?

AIIIII.... blues blues and more blues.

Was suppose to go to BKK for some retail theraphy but that has been shelfed as the person I was suppose to go with has FFK with telling me until I asked her.

I am feeling down being single.. and not having friends to even to on a trip with.. DARN...

Its done...

This morning, woke up by 8am and by 9am I was at the dentist.
Today was to be my last appointment for the tooth implant. Yes, the one which cost me a bom.

It was quite painful as I dunno why the gum always wants to grow and cover the cap of the screw. So the dr has to do someting about it and it sure hurt. He kept apologizing which made me feel worse. But.... I am glad its over but it does feel funny tho' maybe coz after not having anything there for more than 6 months, its weird to finally have a tooth there. but it feels flat at the bottom. So I was complaining to my mom that it doesn't feel like the previous crown I had and also the one on my left. Maybe coz i told him that i couldn't grind properly and it felt that one side was higher than the other side of the crown. So he kinda polish it abit.

Anyways.. my mom said.. he is a specialist rite? Are you having doubts on the work of a specialist hehehee.

ok ok lah.. i tahan lah. But i perfectionist leh. beh tahan.. need everything to be proper and nice... darn!!!!!!

The next visit will be 6 mo nths time for him to check whats the condition of the tooth.

Glad its over...

Broadband

After much debate with myself, i finally got broadband. Yeah I know.......
But if i didn't have to be on standby, I wouldn't bother as the dial up work just fine.
I didn't want to drive to work in the middle of nite if I get a call for support rite?

Anyways, how do I feel now that I have broadband. Not much difference but only thing is I spent 8 hours in 2 days watching online korean show HAHAHAHA chia lat or what.

Of course I didn't get the unlimited one. I wanted to gauge how much i will use and such.
So I got the one for 60 hours per month. When I went to apply for it, the guy at the counter sorta reminded me that its for 60 hours ONLY. I was like.. can upgrade later on right? he said yeah of course then he added, budget huh.. hehehe. YEAH LAH have to budget man. or else.... if i don't use that much why have unlimited rite?

I got to save for my bag and shoes fetish man.. MUAHAHHAHAHAHAA

PS - I have been avoiding the mall when I can but unfortunately working in the city is kinda hard but I have been a good girl, coming back straight home after work. haha more like no choice aye.. coz i am on standby for 2 weeks straight. I don't want 2 be lugging certain something all over town...

My Take on this...

As the 49th years of independence draws near.... newspapers will start interviewing people with regards to what they think of the country so far, what they would like to see us as citizens do more, bla bla bla.

Hmmm... so, I believe many of you out there has read so many blogs, articles in the newspapers, esp from thos who has ventured far for better education then decided to stay on to where they thot are green pastures, or some who moved away wanting a better life else where. You might also have read those ingrate who were born here and now berate the country and diminishing it to a minute ant.

I fall to the first category but minus the last bit. When I first came back to this country, I did have all the sentiments these people had. I loved the new country which i have spent 3 yrs in. I wished i could stayed on. Everyday since the day i came back and for the longest time as I can recall, I longed to be back there. But 10 years has since passed.... Do I still feel that way? Yes, once a while I get melancholy and i do think about it.

But I also realized that in the past 1 year, I have to terms with myself, and you know what happens now when I read about what people say about this place? Well granted this place is not eutophia... I don't think anywhere will be euthophia. But then I strongly believe that people who longer call this place home has no rights to berate it. You don't go thru what we go thru every day of our lives. You choose to leave ( except those who had to leave due to circumstances - you are forgiven :P) Anyways.... I believe that this country still has things that are good eventho' somethings irks you like mad. But home is where at anytime of the day, you can meet up with your friends, call your parents, drop by their home. Whats life without all that eventho' you have the most beautiful sky line at your backyard? Or the best quality of air? But when you want to go visit your friends, you can't just drop by but instead you have to call them, or drop hints so that they may eventually get the hint and invite you to their house hahaha. I sound like a cynic don't I. Well I am just giving the extreme examples.

But you get my gist.

So maybe its time, we think how to make the best of this situation that God has put us in and stop whining about how bad things are...(yeah I am big whinner myself, but self control has gotten the best of me lately. Hard but I do my best not to fall into but somtimes it fails but sometimes its successful)

I have a coworker who constantly talks about how bad things are, how she doesn't earn enough money... how she would have been much better off in SG,AU or where ever not. She hasn't been overseas before. She did all the tertiary education here. Thats fine. No one is looking down on your bcoz of that. But stop already!!!! Look around you!!!
One day I showed to her there is this man who guides the traffic infront of the hotel near our office. You can see he stands in the hot sun at 12 noon from goodness knows what time till what time. But in the blazing hotsun (dressed in black), he stands there and waits when car comes by he will guide them. Thats his job every day in and out. How much do you think he gets paid? probably a measly 600-800 a month? or less??

So I told her straight on her face!! be Glad you're not him and think about how fortunate you are and not about how you can't afford that DIOR or GUCCI bag. When this person probably have to think 3 times what he can have for lunch/dinner so he can provide for his family and survive till the next pay check.

I SAY INGRATE!!!! START THINKING AND START LOOKING AROUND YOU. YOu are much more fortunate than most out there... eventho you might complain life is better elsewhere. But since you're here make the best out of it , can you not?! Just do that? Its hard, yeah i have been there. But eventually when you come to terms with yourself, you will find that certain sort of peace within you.

Dont' mean to lecture no one.. but thats my 50 cents worth of thoughts...
:P

Things

I know I haven't been writing anything worth readin lately. Actually, I don't know whats wrong with me really. Sometimes when I am driving or walking around it seems like I have alot to write about but once I reached home, I don't feel like writing at all. Or I forget what i had actually wanted to write about. The forgetfullness is probably due to old age.

Couple of things happened. I managed to move to a new seat which is now more secluded and my monitor isn't facing the highway anymore. Which is good rite? Alittle bit further frm my si tow por also. But now I am seating with a person whom I don't even know i can trust. So everyday I have to keep all stuff in my drawer n leave nothing behind. Before I moved to this new place, I actually bless some holy water. and I have a small benedict cross seating on my table. Quite hidden view actually.

Lately I have been feeling kind down again. About what? I can't really put my finger on it.
Due to this depression, I really feel like buying stuff. Like even stuff i don't need but I feel an urge to buy it.

This month I will also be paying off the last 2 payment of my tooth implant. therefore I am gonna be broke for awhile and this month I would have to dig hard into my savings. :P

I wish this blues will stop singing. But it has been a week and it hasn't stopped.

I am going to a foreign land for assignment next month. I am not liking it either. I have to do alot of preparation before than. Its less than 1 month. I am tired. I hate IT!!!!!!! I hate hate hate double hate it!!!!!!!!!

I also hate having arseholes in my team. One who only want to boss people around but know next to jack shit!

Gosh... i am not in the best of moods right now!!!!!

Also I havebeen going to gym 2 weeks in a row now. Yeah FOC gym at the company hahahaa. Not really FOC lah. I am a member of the recreational club mah. So free loh. I pay member fee once a year. Farni thing is, I am more tired than ever. I thot exercise suppose to rejuvenate you rite? Tak tau ler.. apa yg tak kena ini.

AII please keep me in your prayers that things will be brighten up.

I thot I siow, but some people even more siow

Read this link!!!
19 pair of shoes in a one month.... totally siow, more siow than me. MUAHAHAHHAHAA

muahahahahaa

What Color Rose Are You?

Haircut

I am not that sort of person who will spend alot of hair cut or on anything thats beauty related.
Since I came back from the States and started working here, I haven't spent more than 15 ringgit on a hair cut!!! YEah usually its just RM13 for my regular cut. Granted that the hair dresser works from home. Home is the office.

But with RM13, one cannot expect perfection. I mean that lady isn't young and hip.. she deals mostly with Aunties lah.. hehehe

Of late I have been ranting to my mom, aiyoh.. so old fashion lah but then its just RM13 rite?? So cannot complain ler.. hahahahhaa.

So.. today I decided to go to this shop! I have been there bfore once!!! that was couple of years ago. Went in, said in hokkien,,, wash and cut. THen the person who washed my hair spoke to me in mandarin.. Sorry lah hor. I can't understand mandarin... maybe just the swear words I know. hahaha. Anyways.. then the lady came over... asked me .. cut? i said yes, showed her the picture.. said I want long layer at the back and side. Then she lifts up my hair.. said in hokkien, your hair very little. I cut shorter at the top ok? I said yeah ok.

She cut cut then wash again, blow dry..... Then finished I looked. Ok lah not bad but not very short leh.. only abut 1.5 in off... THen she said 40 ringgit!!!! WA LAU EH. Already naik harga. The last time i went there it was around 30 ringgit.

But the cut is nice, modern and professional loh.

So do you think i should continue to pay RM13 for a haircut or should i just invest around RM40 for a more professional cut???
Thougts?

Daunting Dinner Experience

After facial yesterday, I kinda hungry. I was around 6.45pm and I decided to go to this restaurant in Lucky Garden, Bangsar. Its mamak restaurant lah.

Ok I ordered my paper tosai and sat there with my teh o ais limau. Then I saw the cook finished making the paper tosai... and the waiter that took my order was walk about.... and i saw the waiter actually used his right hand and rub his facial hair... I thot he would wash his hands but he didn't. instead he just took the paper tosai and placed it on the plate with the very same right hand.
SHITTTT

When the food was served, I was comtemplating whether to eat or just leave it. If I were to complain, its my words against his words rite? So i said , n evermind just makan. And never will i go back there again. Mind you i have eaten there many times before. I gues yeterday would be my last.

Eventho' I keep telling myself its ok, forget it but the thot keep lingering my mind up to now...
Wanna vomit ler..... Dunno whether I will fall sick.

Small Gathering

On Tuesday while lunching at Bangsar after visiting our coming community project venue, I saw a familiar face. Someone I had thot left for UK and never coming back. Well she is not coming back for good but just for vacation.

She still look the same since secondary school days.

Then yesterday with another old schoolmate... had dim sum at nite. Yeah dim sum at nite. Aren't malaysian amazing... Any type of food anytime of the day hahahahahaa....

Anyways, 3 of use met up and it was good to talk about old times, and who else we have met or seen over the years.... some married with kids, others like us still single. But mnd you the single crowd is gettng lesser. .hahahaa.

anyways.... the other gal, I met back with her few years ago via choice. For about 1 year i haven't seen her coz she is bz with her new job and also bz pak thor....

She sms'ed me today and said " u've changed, you're more cheerful Good on you!!"
Hmmm.. i didn't notice that. Coz in my mind i am still the downer.. u know????

anyways... With God's Grace I hope I am able to get thru the trying times currently happening in my life and my family....

Ti Ti Tu Tu

Actually I dunno what to name the title.. hehehee.

Recently I asked a friend, do you think I am happier now? Then this friend responded by saying... well... I complain less. Hmm.. does complaining less an indication that I am happier :P It could mean that I am just keeping things to myself now. As I know complaining is futile hahahaha.
But once in awhile, have to let out the stim rito? If not, will go crazy....

So am I really happier? Occasionally, more often than not, I still have sleepless nite. Insomia. I wake up , almost evey hour. I have been trying to figure out whats actually worrying me that I can't seem to be able to let go and surrender.

Work wise, still sucks.. when u have a biatch for a boss. the more you do, the more she complains, people who does nothing, she doesn't hassle them, she basically leave them alone. Sometimes it makes me think that she dosn't deserve to be a super. Then again, is anyone deserving enough to be one? Sometimes it comes with seniority.. sometimes it comes with who you rub shoulders with, so you suck up so much over the years.. that when they move, you're stuck to sole of their shoes and they have no choice but lift you up when they walk forward :P hahahhaa. Get my drift ding ding dong dong...


Anyways, I have told myself no matter what she talks behind myback, I know deep down inside I am a person of integrity and of principle. I do whats right. I do not believe in getting "gaji buta". So whatever is given to me, I try to take positively and do my best. If she wants to bitch bitch loh.... I believe she is one element in my inability to sleep well. And worse of all, she is also a christian. So when i tell my mom about this, she always says, its not about the religion but the person..... Aiii..

Biatch..... i have live with it for now.. and pray that if I am nice enough, when I request for a change of role, I will get it.... *pray pray pray hard*


Anyways, recently I have been pretty stressed up.. the invasion of bugs is killing me. ok i looked carefully and its not white ants......coz its not lutsinar....Everyday , the first thing i dowhen i get home from work is vacuum the bloodeee wall and floor and the furniture.. YET when i wake up in the morn,, its there.. Sometimes within hours some new babies are back on the WALL.. WHAT THE F? is that all they do... reproduction within seconds??? CISSSSSSSSS

DETTOL....... please vanguish them!!!!!!

Beh Tahan

Recently there are some issues that I had wanted to blog about but after much thinking or sometimes at the end of the day, I am just too tired to even bother.

1) The issue about In'national sch.
- Firstly instead of trying to to cover up that the govt sch sucks or has diminished in standards, they just open up int sch as an option for the rakyat. But really tho' there are some rich people who can afford it but there are still many who are not rich. Just getting by. It really disappoints me. Instead of trying to pass the bug, they should look at the issue more seriously.

2) For years the issue of seats in the local university has been looming over our heads.
Hmm.. instead of taking in more local ppl, they have now open the doors for foreign applications. Does it make sense? Many who can't even get into the local university. I really cannot comprehend it man.

3) Kids/Teens/Fresh Grads/Etc who has never been overseas but speak with a distinct accent. Some hasn't even step foot abroad. Yeah those with fako americano accent and english accent. You know I have been meaning to write about this but I forgot until yesterday where there was an article just about this in the local papers. It started of by saying, he saw this two young doe speaking to each other one with distinct english accent and the other with american accent. Wanna bes dudes. Anyways.. it start by saying Doe1 says. I had a bit of sucky. Having a sucky once in a while is good. The write said he was shocked coz at this young age they are already exposed to XXX stuff. Turned out at the end those kiddos meant to say SAKE!!!!!!! hahahahhaa. Ok heres the one i heard for myself. We have this intern who speaks with american accent. And mind you very LC also. When she said she is an intern at our company, and she just started, I asked, so where are you studying. I expected something like.. Uni of balbalba in the US. But the answer that I got was.... UITM . HUH? Sot gah.. i bet she hasn't even set foot over the sea.... Gosh come on lah.. Just speak good english would do... esp when you haven't been overseas.... Beh tahan!

Anyways... i don't look down on those ppl who never had the chance to go abroad to study or whatever. But I just hate ppl who put on the accent... EWWW.. yeah I agree I do get into my american accent when I get excited. But that has toned down alot already. Used to be much worse when I first got back. But then again, I spent 3 years there, their lingo , their culture does gets rubbed on to me.....

Wanna bees just kills me.

Still in the shopping daze

As u all know, I went to SG for sales. When i got back MY was also having sales. Beh tahan had to spend....

Then suddenly i felt like going to HK but couldn't find anyone to go with me
then found a friend who was interested but her schedule and mine just couldn't jive. So end up cannot go loh!!!!!!!!

I will find time and post the things i bought... some already pakai .....

aiiii... today i had a scary experience
I was at bangsar.. parked my car near the housing area. Went to return my rental books and then had dinner.. it was around 7+ and then when i was walkking infront of giant.. a guy start talkkingt me.. in mandarin. Hey I don't un/stand mandarin lah. he just kept yapping yappin, the only thing i got out of it is something like do you shop here.. and something about we are ahere. .blablablablaa... like some hours. Who cares
But the scary part he kept walking with me eventho' i never answered him nor even looked at him. Then i said i am not interested. he kept asking malay? bahasa? i unlocked my car and went it yet he knocked on my window... SHIT!!!!!!! Can't take no for an answer. WTH

ANyways.. i go to that area for facial too.. now I am scared dunno if he recognize my car!!!!! SCARED leh....

Updates

Its been a couple of weeks now since my last post in May.
Somethings has happened along the way.

1) I got sicker after I wrote the post. Had to resort to seeing a specialist - On my own expense. Its a long story but I shall not bore you with details. Lets just say that the company gives you benefits but half heartedly. They impose so much red tape till the end of the day, you will just decide that its easier to just not tab on the benefits.

2) Start 21st week I will be rota again. Its been a year+ since I was ever on call. And being on call for a product that I don't even know, its gonna be like scary. So please people , pray for me.

3) I went to Taman Negara whilst I was still sick in the beginning of May and then to Singapore just last weekend. Had a heaven time shopping in SG. couldn't get enough of buying shoes. hahaha. Wished I could buy more things. I went on the nite train.... but the custom lady very scary... dig dig dig.. wor... thank God only managed to dig 2 pair of shoes out. I should have gone to the male custom officer. My friend just unzip her bag.. and that guy didn't even touch nothing. Just ask her to zip back and go. Damnation.

4) I lost another 1 kg due to insufficient of sleep and the bloody bad sinus infection. This is the second time in 3 years, I am struck by this infection. Let me tell you, its no fun. Its the most horrible time you can ever have. Each time you lie down you will cough like mad.. till your chest burns and hurts. Your nose gets to clogged up, that you have breathe with your mouth but your mouth gets to dry that it aggrivates the cough. Sigh!!!!!!

5) While I was in SG, went for mass at the Good Shepard Cathedral. Saw the most good looking guy.. i have ever come across but too bad... married leh with 2 kids.... but looks damn young. Probably filipino or indonesian...... damn nice eyessssssssssssss... eye lashes melentik leh.

6) My good friend in AU, gave birth to her first child - baby girl - Phoebe Michelle Lee... on May 27th... Congrats G!!!!!!!!!

I guess thats all the boring updates I have.

American Idol Season 5 Finale

American Idol Season 5 has come to an end.
I watched the finale only at the second half of the 2 hours finale show. What i managed catch showed all the 16 finalis singing.... Pretty good. To tell you the truth, this is the best season yet. Coz the contestants can really sing......

I still like Elliot the best - I guess being 3rd isn't that bad.

Taylor won... and when he sang his debut single.. it was actually quite good!!!!!!!!!!

:)

Of Shoes and More Shoes

As most of my readers know, I love shoes. I LOVEEEEEEE shoes.
But, I love shoes that has quality. U know what i mean. Vincci stuff once a while.. or hardly ever coz you know why, it gives me blisters.. and not very comfy.

What are the important criterias you look for when you are looking to buy a pair of shoes?
For me, the style or the first love strikes me first. The color the fashion. Then the ultimate test!!! the comfort. Would u actually buy a pair of shoes that looks absolutely gorgeous but absolutely uncomfortable? Well, the bottom line is would you suffer for fashion?

NONONO, is my answer to you. Imagine your feet have to support you, the whole whatever KGS man...... wearing uncomfortable shoes will kill you. Hence i don't wear those tiny skinny heels short of sandles or shoes. i like chunky heels or those wedges. But you have understand tho' buying those wedges u have to make sure you choose one that doesn't look ah lian or el cheapo. Not easy to shop for shoes ah.

There are alot of el cheapo shoe shops around. If they are comfortable , I don't mind. Firstly they are overpriced and not even leather. Sorry I just love the smeall of leather... i can't help it. hmmmm hmmmm.

I dont' know why they can't have good leather and affordable priced shoes here??? We have cows , we have buffalos!!!!! Why the americanos can sell the shoes like 39-60 USD - and they are leather!!!!!!! But if you look bonia , sembonia, carlo rino... fashion like shit!!! They need to change their designer man.... and cost a bom too. Can't comprehend it man.

My favourite shoe brands....
1) Nine west - ( absolutely affordable in the US, bought tons when i was studying there. now... cannot afford lah... RM300-500 leh)
2) URS - ( still ok, very comfy.... comfy like hell) but its cheaper in sg and more variety. When i go to SG must shop shop shop
3) Aldo!!!!! - ( cheaper in the US also, I only own one working pair of shoes :( too expensive here too) I just go to the shop and get my whif of leather.. hehehehehe....
4) Charles and Keith - Only available in SG. Not leather stuff lah. I think at par with vincci but their style and comfort is much much better than vincci lah.

AIIIIII my shoe dilemma................
I have this craving lately to buy some good leather shoes.. very susah to find affortable priced one here..... *sob* *Sob*

Yahoooo Elliot Yamin .....

Okie dokie, Elliot Yamin is still in, not voted out yet.. yipeeee.
final 3.....
Taylor, Katherine and Elliot.
It was abit of shocker that Chris got voted out. I thot it would have been Katherine or Taylor.

Lets hope Elliot makes it to the final 2. Don't mess up now... Elliot.....
Getting more and more exciting.

Updates

Thank You to those who have prayed for me. I am pleased to tell you all that I am getting better. Eventho' the cough is still there at least I am better. Still having sleepless nites but its mostly due to the immense stress at work and shit si tow.

The good thing about being sick for 3 weeks now is that i lost 2kg. hahahaha..
But I will probably gained it all back pretty soon.

Seriously ILL

Since my last post, my health has deteriorated.
I spend 2 nites without sleep and being showered in cold sweat. I seriously thot i was gonna die.

The cold sweat just came on prefusely without stopping and I was feeling so cold. Is this what it feels like when you're nearing death?

I went back to see the dr and he said its probably my weak body not being able to work with the medication he gave so that reaction is my body rejecting. And worse thing is i started to lau sai this morning.

He gave me a new set of medication and told me to take 2 days rest.

Shoots.. there goes my birthday....
But at least I am alive.. and its horrible when you're really really sick... MC is not fun either.

3 visits to the DR within a week

As per my previous post, I have been taken ill. Being ill is not good.
Yesterday I left work early as in around lunch, I informed my boss that I could no longer take it and I need to go and see the dr.
I decided to pay a visit to dr which I have been going to since childhood days. He did his examination and told me that this being already more than 5 days, I really have to take care as it can lead to bronkitis(spelling is probably off) and eventually asthma.

Having bronkitis is not fun. U can't sleep at nite coz you will just coughing. THe worse is morning and nite as it gets chilly during those hours.

Aii... i guess as i get older my immune system is getting worse. It can longer fight the bad elements as well anymore. Not Looking forward to turning a year older in 3 days time. :(

Taken ILL

I have to say, stress at work has been mounting up esp when i have to do 2 job roles. 1 is current role - which was suppose to be transition but the receiving party hasn't identified anyone and its been 2 months now. Learning the new job.. is a real task. Not knowing the technology is one thing but having a boss who is so concern about the stats.. is almost killing

This is a Tech support job lah. obviously there will be instances where the issue will last more than 1 month.... this person insist on closing it within the stipulated period. Tough life if you ask me...

So have been taken ill. As you might as well know, I am abit phobia when i get cold esp after the incident few years ago. The incident where the cold/fllu turned out to be sinus infection and I was out for about 10 days of MC. ahahaha. Paranoid.....

So this has beenn about 1 week now.. getting abit worried. Please please don't let this be worse... *sob* *sob*

American Idol

I just love this season of American Idol (season 5?) They have so many good singers. And each week its so disheartening to see such good singers leave. 2 Weeks ago, Mandisa left. she is one good singer

But i totally love Elliot. I appauld him coz he is almost deaf in one ear but he still sings on tune and very good. But I am abit concern coz he has been bottom 3 for the last 3 week. I hope that this week, he won't be voted out.

But i have to say, after following so many Seasons of American idol.. this is the best seasons.. as in the competition is stiff man...........

Holly Smolly

Holly smolly.....
Guess what, on sat there was this article in the newspaper with a guy seating there with 70 pairs of sneakers!!!!! 70 Pairs of SHOESSSSSS?? and its a GUY... yeah you read correctly - Its a GUY.

I don't even have 70 pair of shoes and I am WOMAN!!!!!!
Goodness gracious me.

I don't even have more than 20 pairs of shoes.... and thats including sneakers and sandles and mules.. and every darn.. variety of what we categorize as SHOES.

and in the article he said he has even spent above RM1000 for a pair of SNEAKERS...

MAMA MIA CARAMBA.

I just Had to Blog about this

As usual, weekend is here, usually we would go for the 7.30am Mass on Sunday but due to the fact that tomorrow I will have to follow my dad to pay respect to my grandfather's tomb. yeah its Ching Beng again. And yea, I do hold the joss stick but no with the intention to pray but just as part of th custom to show my respect.

anyways, thats not I wanted to blog about.
The sermon by the priest yesterday really stuck to my head and my bro's too. To not make the story too long, allow me to just give you the gist of the whole thing. Its about reconciliation. As you know, catholic are encouraged to go for confession/reconciliation. The priest is scholarstic one. But obviously I dont' remmeber much of what was said EXCEPT this.

Part of the sermon he started to mention certain behaviour that are not good behavoirs. He started by saying that we all have the impression that a certain is lazy (well we all know which is that rite?) and we begin to follow suit their attitude and having the thinking " WHY DO MORE WHEN YOU CAN DO LESS? hhahahahaa... and went on saying we all think since we are getting the same pay why do more when you can do less. hahahahaa... my bro and myself started giggling... Isn't that true. We all have this in our heads!!! Well its not that best of attitude huh.... This warrants us to go for confession. :P.

hehehhee.. hahahaa.. can't help it man.. the priest read our minds.
Anyways, just in case you guys didn't know, last week, NST posted something on racial survey.. .how each race is deemed by mass majority of people hehehehe.... It was a good article and the most truthful one I have came across.

If you haven't read it... ping me...

Persistence Pays Off

I have to tell you this story.... It involves frustration, anger and also sheer persistence and a guidance from the higher power.

I have been trying to call our National Power Company for weeks. As we all, how the public service sucks. Call call call.. you get thru, if you're luck to the 1st level. From the first level, you try to explain your problem to them. But before you could even finish, you're being cut-off with a curt answer that its a billing issue. Heck... my name is printed wrongly on the bill. Fine they pass you to the so called billing dept. ring ring ring ring ring ring for up to 15 min. (yeah i know, my handphone bill is gonna cost me a bom. Yeah and you might ask why don't you use the office phone coz i am only given a grace amount of $10 a month for personal, once you exceed that you have to pay the co) So I did that for 2 weeks in a row - trying at different hours.

Yesterday!!! EUREKA!!!! I decided that I do it first thing in the morning, if I could - I would have called at 5am in the morning hehehee.. just to get thru.

I called at 9.30am.. and yeah yeah yeah when passed to the billing dept within 2 rings, the phone call was picked up. But they told me that my name appeared correctly in their records. No typo no spelling mistake. HOW CAN!!!?!?!!?! I told her. It happened starting beginning of Jan. Last year was a ok. Well, the standard answer is, why don't you come in and bring in all the bills... STUPID DOPE..... anyways.. at least my persistence paid off , at least i got to talk to a "voice" eventho' how idiotic that voice turned out to be.

Now I am bracing myself for another gruelling wait at the center.

p/s went to their website... they don't even have a complain/feedback section. That shows, what monopoly does - creates inefficiency to the MAX!

bleeeep

BLEEEPPPPP

all in moderation

If you have seen the news lately, be it local dailies or those international dailies, you would notice what graced the headlines.

Almost depressing. I don't know what going to happen man. Its like are we becoming less tolerant? I don't know.

I just want to say everything in moderation is good.
Every religion teaches good.
If you remember its states, if the person slaps you on one cheek, then offer him the other cheek.
What happened to that good old teaching?
