Apron

2011-10-24T18:36:00.000+08:00

I was helping my mum in the kitchen while my niece, Echa was roaming around.
Suddenly

Echa: Gigish, cantiknya apron ni! Pakaila apron, Gigish!
(and happily handing out my apron to me)
Me: Oh okay (wears apron). Tapi Tokma tak pakai!
Echa: Tokma takpe..
Me: Apsal Tokma takpe?
Echa: Sebab Tokma dah biasa...

OUCH! Dah kena gelak ngan Mak. Bertuah punya budak!

p/s Yes she calls me Gigish. Coz she's cool and I'm cool. Heh.

jom online shopping

2011-05-18T09:57:00.001+08:00

lately perasaan ingin menghabiskan duit bershopping adalah sungguh tinggi.
but so is my common sense.
hasilnya...of courselah x jadi. common sense always says

"baik tunggu lambat2 skit, selalu mid june ada sale"..
"hey jangan lupa nanti nak restock make-ups, skin care, maybe next month habis tu"..
"baik save up for ipad2"..

but at the same time, yes,
..my office shoe has worn out..
..my blusher dah nak habis..
..need some facial illuminator..i feel like my skin is so dull nowadays..
..need a new skirt, in one size smaller haha..

the thought of having to do the browsing kinda scares me off. because i know i will need few rounds of mall browsing before finding the perfect one and more often than not, it's only perfect the day i bought it because, i am tired.

recently i had this idea of online shopping..via vsHub & hopshopgo, so i can buy from the store itself & get it shipped to Malaysia. lagi murah kot, plus tak payah stuff-hunting. i always pity Hubster when i dragged him to teman me shopping. tapi kalau tak pergi dia nanti rasa ada something missing. HDD, i know. haha.

so....i think i'm gonna ask my friends if they'd like to join me..we can save a lot more if we're getting it shipped in one shot, no? i have made comparison of the delivery charges between the two and i find that vsHub is cheaper than hopshopgo, and it's straightforward as well as there is only a lump sum charge as opposed to hopshopgo's many fractions of payment including separate payment during pickup in Malaysia (well shopping needs to be a fun affair so i dun want the math part :P)

anyone?
Benefit, MAC, Clarks, Levis, etsy, oh and even the handbags!
anyonnnnnnnne?

secretary oh secretary

2011-05-16T20:08:00.001+08:00

**amaran: mengandungi unsur2 mazmumah. tidak sesuai utk org tgh berfikiran positif dan happy2 disyaki akan merobah mood anda. dan juga tidak sesuai utk ibu2 mengandung dikhuatiri anak anda akan terkenan sifat mazmumah ini.**

i just started a war with one of the secretary in the office. although i am not sure whether she realizes it, well i think she doesn't, coz i just left the scene without firing back.

i was caught off-guard, coz she gave such an unexpectable answer.

so here's what happened:
i prepared few memos for our VP to sign, memos directed to all countries in our portfolio, written separately (one for each countries). *even this, i think that the secretaries in my prev office can do, with a sample draft given*. anyway, after the boss has signed, i happily passed to them to be faxed to the country heads, which are her boss's subordinate.

i approached her desk from the side with intention to explain to her what needs to be done. and before i could even start, she exclaimed," apa masuk kat area i ni, duduk depan nila!". i was startled coz nobody ever did that to me, and it's normal, for us, the executives (now i REALLY REALLY want to differentiate execs and non-execs!) to be discussing side-by-side. but i kept my cool and asked her back jokingly why did she mind. She said bcoz her desk is messy and she didn't want me to notice (alasan, muka pun muka xtau nak jwb apa). then i told her that the memos has been signed and if she can help to fax them to the country heads. but before i even finish my sentence she sighed,"boleh tak buat kerja sampai habis.."

i was like, excuse me???? i was so shocked with her rudeness-tolong fax pun x boleh ke? aku buatkan memo utk bos ko pun dah cukup bagus, takkan fax pun bukan kerja ko kot? but ME BEING THE WEAK ME, i just said "laaa tolong fax je? selama ni akak selalu je fax diorg kan?" and she said,"tak i tak pernah. lagipun skrg fax machine x boleh pakai." waddefak. i was speechless but without waiting any further i went to our OSR who's in charge of the IT peripherals and informed him to check on the fax machine. he immediately did, but i was too brokenhearted, i didn't stay to confirm her fact.

. . . . .

kenapa secretary kitorg macam ni?? i am so frustrated! but then again, that was not the first time she buat perangai. i have been hearing stories but all this while it did not happen to me so i just dismiss stories as stories. but now that i became part of it..hmmm sorry lady, u just lost one person to talk to. dahla pagi td blackmail aku supaya aku buat budget traveling utk bos ko, dahla x cakap elok2, tau2 je htr email cc kat boss, apake syial tu? nasib baik boss ada commonsense and suruh aku buat basis je (which is fine). arghhhh.

that woman might just be having a bad day but hellllloooooooo what makes u think u're entitled to ruin other's day as well? i do not condone this behavior at all and i'm not sorry.

but i am sorry for those who reads this hehehe. sorryla, lama x update blog tetiba bila nak vent baru update. kekekeke. sorry sorry sorry! but i can't be all angelic in blog and all tak sopan depressed bagai nak hapa di dunia realiti hehehe. i just need to vent, ok. love u :)

Things of late

2011-03-20T10:11:00.000+08:00

Gaaah. Hello peeps.
I feel bad for writing only when I was frustrated, or confused. HAHA SO MUCH FOR READING PLEASURE, huh? But trust me, niat tu ada nak share mcm2, tapiiiiii masa sungguh mencemburui kita awww. Dan sbgai pelajar dr pengalaman lalu, I am not gonna stick to my plans, I'll cut short and give some updates on some of the things that I had previously shared in this space..

1. Of our own house
As riddled in my last post, we were waiting in agony for (what supposed to be) our house while the contractor has gone MIA..
After few awkward moments of discussing with the ILs that we're considering to let the house go (after all we hv nit entered into any SPA for the house), we are now a proud home owner of one of houses under construction in Denai Alam, and are also happy campers in Metropolitan Square, Damansara Perdana :)
Alhamdulillah.

2. Of gym. Hehehe.
We basically put our gym location in consideration while surveying for our rental lovepad, hence why we settled in MSQ, which is like..3 mins away from theCurve :p
Tapiiiiiiii ironically, sejak pindah ni (its been 3 months), sekali pun x jejak kaki ke Fitness First @ theCurve itu. LOL. Talk abt determination..haish! :p

3. Of work
Got some good news that made my decision-making a lot easier. Either way I chose will not result in my salary being reduced. So yay.
Have not make any firm decision yet though :p

So there goes. Happy Sunday, everyone! If it's sunny Sunday for you, go out, have some fun. If it's gloomy, stay indoor, get busy ;)

Saya ada satu kemusykilan.

To anyone of you out there who wishes to participate in my thought-gathering process;

Which one would you pick,

Extra RM3K/month

Finding your job meaningful

I am in a junction.
Help me.

Rumah(Tangga) Saya

2010-10-19T19:32:00.001+08:00

Hahahahaha gile daring nak cerita pasal rumahtangga kat blog :P
Sebenarnya nak cerita pasal Rumah Saya lagi tapi tetiba teringat about what happened 4 years ago.
Hik hik.

Hari declare ngn Hubster.
Hik hik.

Not that we were not an item before, but on that day, we finally realised that we are inseparable.
Hik hik.

I lurrrrrrrrve sharing our version of 'How I Met Your Mother' in terms of 'How We Met Each Other' (maybe because I'm not a mother yet, hik hik) but..it's gonna be a long story.

First time
During breakfast in Awana Kijal. I was staying there the first 2 weeks of work, and I had 2 more friends staying there. One morning, I went down to join my friend, Kabi as usual for breakfast but turned out he was not alone. Hubster was sipping his soup quietly. Apparently he was there for some training in Awana.

Kabi: Weh, ada orang nak berkenalan ngan kau. Orang kuat HR.*gelak2*

Me: *suka hati mak bapak kau, kesian budak ni, dahla malu2* Hi, Azni.

Hubster: Hi, Sharil, HR. *sambung makan, senyap sampai sudah.

Me: *gile pemalu, ingatkan akula orang paling pemalu dlm dunia*.

So that's how we got acquainted.

Second time, 2 weeks later
We bumped into each other again during new staffs introductory session to PMO GM, En. Nusral. Apparently he was the one organising it, HR la katakan. Masa ni adala borak sikit2.

Third time
It was about...several months later. I was moving out from my rental house in Panalex, Kertih to join Jue & Aida in Kemasik. Needed help to move out my stuffs, and Aida suggested his induction mate, tak lain tak bukan Sharil HR yang terkenal dgn membawa Pajero (or we call it Japero). Setelah 5-6 kali berfikir adakah patut adakah patut, maka dgn menebalkan mukanya I said yes to Aida's suggestion and mengcontact Hubster. Hubster said ok and one petang, I waited for him to come pick me up in the office with his Japero. (He went home first to change clothes utk kerja2 berat mengangkat my stuffs).

Mana Aida & Jue?? Entah, x ingat, but they were somehow..unavailable. Awkward gile hokeh tetibe dr tak rapat pun boleh mintak tolong pastu first time naik Japero dia lak tuh. So untuk mengatasi keawkwardan I asked him to singgah L-Mart halfway, went in, and...

bought him a large bar of Cadbury chocolate. Dairy Milk je yg ada plak tu. Muahahahahhaha.
Masuk Japero balik terus bagi dia, "This is for you, hehe"

Bahahahahhahaha. Budus. Gile awkward, xde style langsung. LOL

And the rest was history...tapi, baru sampai tahap Geng Ketat. Geng Ketat means: geng makan sama2, outing sama2, roadtrip sama2.

2005, Put's wedding
Put was my colleague and one of the young engineers mcm I back then *ececece. We went on roadtrip to Batu Pahat to attend Put's wedding with 5 others. There were 2 cars and I was riding in Ita's car, which was driven by Hubster. On the wedding day, I wore my Raya outfit which involves a pretty pink long shawl. Back then, the tudung lilit2 was not really an 'in' thing yet, so putting on that style akan sedikit-sebanyak mcm 'overdress' haha. Neways, for that, tiba2 I was declared (by my girlfriends who apparently became my make-up artists) as going for engagement ceremony...engagement dgn siapa? Hubster! Dunno why, probably sebab I was riding in Ita's car which was driven by him. Motif? Hahahaha.
Anyway, as I dgn tak malunya played along, he was denying it bermati2an! Dahla buat muka malu2..*tak rock betulla you!

April 2006
I lost my very-very best friend, Arwah Izma, in a tragic accident, at the time when I needed her most. We were at the stage of our life where we just needed a new start..(we both just got out of a...love dilemma). That tragic night, I just knew that I had to follow her family who came to bring back her body home. I just wanted to be with her as long as possible before that last moment di perkuburan..and I just had one reliable person to drive me there (obviously I can't drive with tears in my eyes constantly). So there came Hubster to the rescue..

I was hopeless for..months..that I couldn't bear any thoughts of her without meleleh air mata. I couldn't go to places we went together - Kemasik beach, Kedai Lempeng Kemasik, Kedai Kopi Hai Peng.. I just couldn't. I was so vulnerable. All those time, Geng Ketats had each other for support. However, with girlfriends, tak boleh cakap sedih nanti diorg nangis. But with Hubster, I can pour all my sadness and nangis and he would just listen. Then bagi kata2 penyejuk jiwa, be in verbal, text msg and of course, the ever-reliable Microsoft Communicator. I felt so safe and in no time he became my best friend ;)

After the tragedy, everybody sort of moved on with their lives. Its either they got married, got posted or made themselves busy (yes, Jue, I'm talking about u hmmmpphhh)..but Hubster was always there for me. When Jue got no time for us anymore (yes, Jue) we only had each other for makan2, lepak2, sharing2 ecece..

Aug 2006
I had longgggg promised a close friend, Nue, that I would be her pengapit on her wedding day. So she got married in August, and since I couldn't make it to her first reception on her side in Shah Alam (my sister got married the same day as hers), I know I just had to make it for her second reception on her husband's side in Muar. Unfortunately..........everyone, I mean ALL of my friends already went for the first reception, including Hubster. So that left me with no one to drive with to Muar...even Jue had something on that weekend. I was contemplating it..but I just knew I had to..its Nue for god sake! Mana boleh miss. So when I told Hubster that I was going anyway anyhow, I noticed that he was worried heheh. But he didn't halang me to go.

But the next day, he told me that he would come with me.
Hehehehehhe :) I was so relieved. Agak gilala jugak nak drive pergi Muar sorang2 kan?

So that weekend we went (bertolak pagi Jumaat and drove back Sabtu petang), and we spent the whole journey (to & fro) talking from gossips to verangans to how would we raise our children. Questions like "anak perempuan you nanti nak ajar pakai tudung tak?", " start umur berapa nak ajar pakai tudung?", and even "kalau anak you pondan you nak buat macam mana?" hahahahahha :)

And as I got off the car when we reached Kemasik, I remembered telling him that that was the best 48 hours ever since long :) and he agreed :)

15 Oct 2006
We went out for iftar together. Its towards the end of Ramadhan so we basically ran out of places for iftar. That day, we drove a bit further up to Rumbia Resort and had iftar at Restoran Ex-Capt (now dah tutup, but they seriously served good food!). I remembered that evening, one of his question to me was "Tak susah ke pakai tudung lilit2?" Hehe so comel. I never thought he noticed the way I did my tudung! Being men and all. After iftar, realising that we wont make it in time to reach Kemasik, we stopped by at Masjid Paka for his Maghrib prayers hehe. I kenot pray, kantoi :P. Since dah kantoi, that meant I did not need to go for Tarawih so he asked me where to go next. (Hehe dia pun terus x Tarawih). We both have no idea but just drove south..passed by Kemasik..Kemaman..Cherating..opps too far now. So we stopped at Rest. Bulan (romantic place! but baaaaaaad food) for a drink. Romantic place adalah kebetulan semata2. We talked and talked..and then he broke the news

"I am considering a posting to SBO (Sabah).."

and he went on and on and on with the reasons why he liked the idea.

I listened...tapi macam sangat sedih. I AM GONNA LOSE HIM! I AM GONNA LOSE A BESTFRIEND!
Rasa macam a lump in my throat, hati mcm menjadi berat (literally!) tapi what else should a best friend do other than rationalise and support each other?

So we spent the next hour there imagining what it's like for us when he leaves. So he said we can talk on Communicator everyday and we still have chances to meet when either one visits i.e I hv meeting in SBO or he has meeting in PMO. And we can always see each other when he comes back to KL.

Bearable?

I don't think so. Although at first I was okay when we plan things out, but as soon as I get into the car, my heart sank.

I remembered feeling like there's no tomorrow. I didn't think I could afford to lose my best friend.

And I couldn't talk while we were in the car heading home. Told him I was sleepy but the truth was, I was restraining my tears!

16 Oct 2006

The next morning, I thought I was gonna be okay but he started his Communicator message with the killer question;

"Morning...

Are u okay?"

Huwaaaaaaaaa. Dan air mataku jatuh berjurai!! Sedih sangat bila tau nak kena tinggal :P And I can't stay at my workstation like this, right?? Issue la plak org tengok aku nangis sambil buat keje. Psycho haha. So I excused myself and went to continue kerja (masa tu buat Monthly Performance Review pack) in our meeting room, on notebook, without Communicator messages! Itu pun still nangis2. Sedihnyaaaaaa.

So lunch hour, after enough psycho-ing myself that its not the end of the world and life goes on and entah2 lepas ni aku pun transfer ke SBO, I went back to my desk.

Guess what, he actually waited for me to come online! Kejap je he messaged me..

...asking why I was so sad..
...that I should not be sad..
...that we will still be friends..

and thennnnnnnn a confession that

...it was actually a hardddd decision to make..
...between career and life..
...that there is nothing else PMO can offer but one..
...and that one had his heart.

hikhikhik

and the rest is history :)

Rumah Saya Part II

2010-10-16T21:05:00.000+08:00

So....we didn't get that house. Ala, THAT house :)

Anyway, I was kinda relieved that finally decision was made. Really. Legaaaaaa. At least now we can move forward building our lives together, on our own. We have maaaaaaaaaaaaaany more milestones to reach, and I just can't waitttt to live them one by one. So first, let's move out from PIL's house. Let's leave this cluttered room with 70% stuffs being not ours and get a house on our own. A long mirror for me. And a dressing table. And of course, wardrobe! Not to forget my own kitchen!

Move out to a rental unit while waiting for completion of our home...which is yet to be launched, hehe :P

We've been searching for a rumah sewa even before the decision abt THAT house was made, actually. iproperty & propwall has been the websites yg wajib disurf setiap hari, and averaging an hour daily! My bookmarks suddenly membiak with folders of Rental Condo, Rental Landed, Appointment, and long lists in each of them too! And the process took about a month, considering and un-considering, attracted and de-attracted, weighing pro and cons while pursuing and foregoing area by area, condo by condo.

And along the process, we came to realize that --- OMG its freaking mahal nowadays!!!! err, not that we've ever rented a house in KL before, heh.

I wanted a house that still look new and modern. It must have at least one well-sized guest room to be able to house my family who will be coming every cuti sekolah soon (yakin, hehe). Kitchen cabinet is not necessary (SEDANG MENGPSYCHO DIRI), but it would be a lovely bonus. Hubster, on the other hand, wanted the area to be around KL-PJ-Damansara, but not so congested sbb dia akan bertukar menjadi Gaban kalau jalan jam. Ya, memangla dia org Kay Ell tapi tahap keallergicannya pada traffic jam kalah org Ganu (read: me and my sisters) - which works for me, sebab dia sangat terel mencari alternative road sehingga layak dipanggil Sharmin. Haha sempat. Oh, lagi satu, dia juga akan depressed dalam keadaan panas, so, another criteria from him is that MUST have air-cond in master bedroom & living room.

The price? Takmolah mahal2 sangat, rugi! Tapi must be worth matching our criterialah of course, rightt.

Combining criteria from both sides, after considering

i) Kota Damansara (almost all condo!)

ii) Bandar Utama (Pelangi Utama)

iii) Tropicana (Casa Tropicana, Ken Damansara)

iv) PJ (Tiara Damansara)

v) Jalan Kuching (Sri Putramas, Royal Domain SPII)

vi) Damansara Perdana (all condo there except Armanee sbb mahal gile x mampu hahaha)

We finally came down to..

A corner unit on the 11th floor in..

this building (photo credit to iproperty)

Familiar? No?

the name (photo credit to propwall)

the location (source: googled)

Agreement was signed yesterday and we probably move-in to F-11-01 on 01-11 :) which also happens to be on MY BIRTHDAY!

Alhamdulillah, mungkin memang ada hikmahnya we only move out now, not before. I am getting a very nice birthday present from both of us to both of us! So nice! =)

2 weeks to go.

my date with Fitness First

2010-05-13T18:59:00.005+08:00

Currently waiting for Hubster to finish work, so we can head straight to.....

THE GYM.

Hehehehe.

Wah, macam baguskan bunyinya. The fact is that Hubster has been a bit relaxed on his gym schedule, and so do I, since I decided to take a rest day yesterday (I think all of my muscles were screaming at me to let them heal!), gym session is pretty much wajib today.

So how much did I lose (to-date)?

NEGATIVE 2.5 KG.

Yes, I gained weight :(

But a friend of mine commented that I look slimmer (and sometimes I feel slimmer too) so what the heck.

Luaran itu penting, bukan scalenya. Hehehehe.

Anyways, I haven't blogged abt my Fitness First experience right. Well as disclaimer I will have to say that if I am going to post any picture of the gym here, it would have been taken from the Net, mostly. Or the pic of the pic in my Fitness First kits :P Selalu tak teringat nak snap pics.

So whad'ya wanna know?

CASH

There are 2 membership options - Platinum & Passport.
Passport membership is cheaper, but with restrictions - you have access to all FF clubs in Malaysia except the ones in The Curve, Empire Shopping Gallery & Bukit Tinggi, Klang. Not sure about the international outlets though. Platinum membership, on the other hand, gives access to all FF clubs worldwide.
I chose the latter, going for RM205/month - corporate rate, so they say.

JOINING GIFTS aka STARTER KIT

this, and a water bottle yg dah taktau ke mana hehe

info & classes schedule

CLASSES (GROUP X)

Lots and interesting lots!

That's the schedule for Group X classes. U name it - nari2, lompat2, tumbuk2, weightlifting, cycling..there are also different kinds of yoga classes! I've joined 3 classes so far - Bodyjam, Bodycombat & Easy Moves so I can only make comparison for these 3, in short:

Paling penat: Bodyjam, maybe more to penat otak nak synchronize with the dance moves. Tak pandai gelek weh!

Paling sakit muscle (I call it, effective, hehe): Bodycombat as it involves kicking & punching in the air..and also lots of muscle pumping!

Paling senang: Easy Moves (duhhhh..)

Paling peluh menitik mcm mandi: Bodyjam

Paling fun: Easy Moves

..............Paling best & rasa nak buat lagi: Bodycombat! :)

For full info, refer here

THE GYM ITSELF

Here's the look of the gym..

FF at Menara Maxis where I usually go while waiting for Hubster

FF at The Curve where we usually spend our mornings on weekends

Okay those 2 pics are from the website. Sebab tu nampak professional hehe.

Apa lagi korang nak tau?

Nak try kalo, call me. I can bring you in for free experience =)

Toodles!
Tapi Hubster beluuuuuuuum jugak habis kerja. Biasa dia ni, babab karang baru tau...

"U pregnant kan?"

2010-04-22T18:43:00.002+08:00

I don't know why but this incident keeps repeating itself in my head..
One fine morning, i arrived quite late. Hubster was sick, on MC. In the lift there were about 6 ppl including me, who was standing next to 2 ladies. One of them was carrying something like a 'jute' bag, looked heavy.

Lady 1: Eh...kenapa u still bawak benda2 berat ni...
Baglady: Hmm takdela berat sangat, boleh je...
(a moment of silence)
Lady 1: Dah berapa bulan?
Baglady: Ha? *muka confused
Lady 1: U la, dah berapa bulan?U pregnant kan?
Baglady: Mana ada..
Lady 1: Eh bukan (some lady name) cakap u pregnant ke? Sorry...sorry eh..dia cakap u pregnant *sambil pandang another lady kat belakang, maybe another friend (asking for support?)

By then the lift door opened as we arrived G. It was quite a scene just now so I kept my pace behind them (hehe), despite I felt really bad for the Baglady. It is one of my fear, to get such remarks like that you see. So I really, really feel for her, despite half-lega because it didn't happen to me (or at least, not yet. selalunya subtle je remarks - tegur berisi dengan nada (dan mata) yang curious).
Oh, and Lady1 continued apologizing but I didn't really hear the responses from the Baglady.

The Baglady wasn't even fat, ok, but I have to agree that the bump was quite visible-only by taking a close look. I mean- it could be me! Or any one of my frens hehe. Come on, what if the Baglady was trying to conceive? How would she feel? * eh tetibe emo. hehe terasa la tu hehe.

Memangla an English saying reminded us not to ask any lady if she is pregnant until you actually see the baby coming out and waving at you, but in this case, I don't blame Lady 1 either as she was told that Baglady is pregnant. But such incident was quite humiliating to Baglady especially when it's done in public.

So, from then on, I made a mental note to never, never, never make any remarks abt anyone's pregnancy or baby or kahwin unless they brought it up. I hope you do the same too.

Chocoholic meets Theobroma

2010-04-05T22:33:00.001+08:00

Theobroma Cacao is a species of tree from which chocolate was obtained.
Theobroma Chocolate Lounge, is a place where a chocoholic like me feels like in heaven :)

It was the pics of their chocolate drinks that made me allllways wanting to go inside n try them, but Hubster never thinks that we can stuff ourselves silly inside. Well, he's right, for our focus won't be the main course, it would be the choc-based drinks n desserts!!!!

So last Sunday, after our workout session at the gym (ehem), we eventually went there for lunch! Hubster left it for me to pick the place, so jackpot!!! Haha sungguh x jive dgn keadaan baru je workout tadi :p

Anyway, for appetiser we had..

namanya, mintak mahap, i cudnt recall. but i do recall menikmati kedeliciousan cake ni sampai geleng2 kepala to mock tune in my head. so divine :) if i x silap it's a cheese cake by type.

for the main dish, i had..

meatballs something2..5 ketul meatballs in a very sedap pasta sauce! comes with a big slice of hot baguette.

while Hubster had..

aglio-olio spaghetti..pun sedap, but still, xleh lawan the lawn's...

and for drinks, i had

hot dark belgian chocolate. can also have it in mug & warmer set but i figured it wud be too hot and cud burn my tongue :p sedap, not too creamy and i love the fact that i can scoop for the semi-hardened chocolate paste at the base of the mug :) sungguh memahami my chocolate indulgence!

verdict: definitely will come again !

Tony Roma's: Love-Hate Relationship!

2010-04-03T16:32:00.001+08:00

Oh no..Hubster ajak makan Tony Roma's!

Oh no....that's my #2 weakness! I love Tony Roma's bountiful beef ribs soooooooooooooooooooooooo much that I will never resist any opportunity to eat them! Err actually bukan setakat takkan resist but sometimes I even crave for it. Like craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavinggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

My Roma Rack - before

After - joined with Hubster's Full Rack!

Oh my, those succulent crispy on the outside-juicy inside ribs! Back in Dec-Feb, I would say that it became our ritual weekend dinner! We had it like every other weekend. So not healthy :( But those ribs are to die for! Siap teringin2 lagi masa kat Bali when we went for honeymoon :P (err, we went for our ritual ribs the next day after we arrived in KL!)

Realising that it certainly is NOT the food to eat when tgh nak diet, I have learned to curb my craving. Cara2nya including...
1. Not looking at the direction of Tony Roma's signboard when passing by e@Curve (formerly Cineleisure Damansara);
2. Not looking at any of the ribs pics in my iPhone;
3. Not allowing myself to even think abt the ribs;
4. Not allowing myself to steer Hubster's thoughts towards Tony Roma's

...........Tapi hari ini, saya adalah k a l a h.
Let's gone already!

Blogger vs Wordpress

2010-03-28T22:21:00.003+08:00

Confused, confused.

I am actually migrating to Wordpress as i find it more..systematic? Like I can know how many views my blog, any recent comment, who linked me..etc. (macam blogging for money plak hehe) - which I couldn't get - or I dunno how to get that - from Blogger.

But there is o n e problem:

There is no (or again, I couldn't find) bloglist widget - something like we have in Blogger that automatically sorts the bloglinks according to recent updates - as well as the feed for the post title. Although there is mShots - which displays a snapshot of the blog on the link - it is just not good enough. Macam ni rupa dia:

But, I love how easy I could update it, especially bab2 putting in quotes and pictures - which - i find it more banyak songeh in Blogger.

Anybody out there who can help??? Anybody??? Any(hot)body???

On a different note, I got a comment for my previous post, from Verde:

ya, Verde, aku ingat kekurusan ko lepas balik dari practical. Ko jog kat KLCC park kan? =)

Aku sekali je ~~jog~~ walk kat situ, hehehe. Sebab susah xde tempat simpan bag *koff koff.

But then again, u are sooooo right. Mmg jog & walk is the fastest way to lose weight, based on hasil penggooglean aku as I was about to hit the gym. Better still if u cud jog & walk selang-seli in 30 mins to 1 hour daily, 6 days a week. I'll share abt the method in the next posts to come.

Anyway, am still undecided about my battle of Blogger vs Wordpress.

progress update - gym #1

2010-03-10T18:43:00.006+08:00

on the treadmill.
program: weight loss

slightly longer update:
went to TTFC alone at first, but then joined by my friend, Bunn. yay! To gym, alone ok. Mcm kuat gile willpower kan :P
i was on the treadmill for 1.5 hrs. the first 40 mins was on weight loss mode. like, slow gile ok! not running at all, not even brisk walking. it was more like naik bukit, with inclined platform at super low speed. itu pun i increased my speed to 2.4, before that the fastest was 1.0. macam segan je sbb org lain semua lari2 hehehe.
to make myself feel better, i googled for some info, whether or not i am on the right speed. turns out it is!

"These treadmill weight loss tips are a great way to help you shed a few pounds and shape up. A treadmill is designed for the most natural form of exercise which is walking. You don't need any special skills to use these machines because if you can walk, you can exercise on a treadmill.

Treadmill weight loss is one of the most successful methods of losing weight. Just be consistent and work within your fat burning target range for 45 minutes or more per session at least 5 to 6 days per week.

Here's how it will look; you'll start with your normal three to five minute warm-up and then five minutes into your walk you do your first interval, one minute of faster walking (or perhaps jogging). At the end of that minute you should be "winded" and ready to slow down. You'll slow down to your normal walking speed for the next four minutes and then your fifth minute is another one minute interval. This pattern continues throughout your exercise session"

"Losing fat requires burning more calories than you consume. You don't have to be a runner to efficiently burn the extra calories. Walking can also be a successful method of losing weight if performed for long periods of time (45 minutes or more), at least 5 to 6 days per week. You won't lose much weight by walking only 3 days per week. Frequency and consistency of walking are just as important as the duration of your workouts for weight control. Exercising on a treadmill for weight loss allows you the convenience of working out in the safety and comfort of a climate-controlled environment...anytime of day or night!"

So, walk for now! :)

Mula2 kita set target

2010-03-10T10:50:00.002+08:00

Contrary to the plan, the plan to go to TTFC (typo, not TTMC the clinic) did not materialize because it wasnt raining and my colleague wanted to enjoy it in the park instead. We walked, did not jog. Nevermind, start slowlah :)

Planning to go to TTFC with Bunn today, but LoML indicated that he might not need to stayback today. Hopefully his going home time will still be abt 6.30pm as usual.

While chatting to Bunn briefly on YM this morning, since we were so inspired by The Biggest Loser Asia last nite, we agreed to set our own target, which is...

TO LOSE 2 KG MONTHLY, means TO LOSE 2 KG BY 10 APRIL 2010.

Small start hehehe. Slowly, but surely! :)

For record, see fat girl pic as taken on 25th Feb 2010 (latest full-body pic that i have)

See the result on 10 April soon, IF 2 kg make a difference :p

suratan atau kebetulan?

2010-03-08T21:54:00.001+08:00

nowadays, my going home time has been between 8.30pm-10pm. nope nope, it wasnt me, its the hubby. HR ni kerja mcm xde esok ok, heran betul..ada jugak manusia mcm ni. after once spooked by konsert ketuk tingkap (i am working at level 78 ok, so tak kelakar), i never stayed back alone in the office anymore. previously, until last week, the after-work activity would be mengukur klcc shopping centre with my heavily pregnant colleague, jj. dan byk juga matawang malaysia bertukar tangan in the process. now that jj dah bersalin yesterday, i need to take up a new activity. (btw jj, congrats for the newborn! remind him that if he likes his baju/stuffs, auntie azni was one of the judge of mama's pick hehe)

so, since there's no sign of my LoML stop staying back in the office anytime soon, but there ARE signs of my lemak2 nak take the limelight, i think inilah petunjuk dr Tuhan. I NEED TO GO TO THE GYM, finally.

i think i'll start tomorrow. the plan is to join fitness first, but since my fitness first friend wont be in tomorrow, i'm planning to go to TTMC pay-per-visitlah, sbb some of my colleagues will be going there tomorrow. so...hehehe...SIAPLAH KO LEMAK2 SEKALIAN!!!

Kembang

2010-03-04T16:40:00.002+08:00

Saya kembang.
Physically, which no need elaboration.
Mentally, of ideas for everything, but all remain just ideas.
And just now, emotionally, aka hati berbunga2 membaca peer & superior review on my leadership skills.

Hahahahhaahahhahaha.
Pfffffffffft.

Gate n lampu belum pasang, tapi yard dah clear,
Cukup sudah menggembirakan hatiku :)

Getting rid of the sad virus

2010-01-23T17:26:00.005+08:00

This morning I had my sad virus attack. Woke up in the morning and the first thing I felt is sadness. Like wanting something desperately and could no longer wait to have it. The fact that I woke up from a bad dream didn't help.

In my case this morning, its...
my own house.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't like staying in current house. But sometimes the feeling of disappointment that I can't do all the things I'd like to do; like prepare breakfast in my nightwear or just coverup briefly and cook to my heart's content, hidang cantik2 or even bringing breakfast to bed, do the housechores sorang2 sambil berfikir camane nak hias the place; just gets to me.

And hubster, innocently tells me the good news,"Yang, mak masak spaghetti untuk you."
Oh man...down :(
It should be me cooking.

So we ate.
I just couldn't act any happier.
Back to the room.
Silence.
Turn on the notebook.
Heavy chest. Sakit.

Hubster noticed. He hugged me and ask me why.
Tears started flowing, and I told him how I felt, and how I know I shouldn't feel that way coz there's nothing much we can do other than....waiting.
And I told him I just need to cry it off.
He held me, and I cried and cried and cried in his arms.

And felt a lot better 10 minutes after that.
And sakit dada pun hilang :)

Rumah Saya

2010-01-12T19:14:00.008+08:00

....tak siap2 lagi. Tapi dah ada nama iaitu Loft 106. Hehehe.

It was supposed to be a fast track reno and targeted to be completed in 3 weeks, which theoretically should be ready by early June 2009. Dah half a year late ni pekejadah. The contractor was believed to be tersalah pusing duit, he was paid 85% but tetibe stop the reno works. He kept giving reasons after reasons of "patah tangan", "uncle meninggal", "b.s", b.s" etc. Yes, the reno was quite massive that it touches almost all parts of the house - dr roofing sampailah flooring, and wiring & plumbing. But that's not a reason to defer the optimistic schedule (that he set himself), yes? Especially when he was chosen based on recommendations.

We were invited to see the "almost finished" product by end of 2 weeks, which I'd say was impressive sbb sempat pulak dia buat mcm banyak je..at that time the only thing left were top floor flooring, electrical outlet installations, outdoor paintjob, wooden door, sliding door & gate replacement. HOWEVER he was gone the next week! Leaving the house as the last time we saw it.

Last month, after such a long hiatus, we finally came to our surprise seeing the house finally painted, with the new door & tiles at the porch;

Tapiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii like last time, the house still looked the same last weekend. Lawak apakah ini? Sangat tak kelakar. Just as when i was already tak sabar nak buat housewarming (boleh percaya tak alasan ni?heh) sbb nak masak2 & bake2 (percayalahhhhhhhh) di samping menjadi hostess yg gembira (sumpah bang, tak tipu ni).

Anyways, I am already planning few sessions of housewarming..
- one for his side of family
- one for my side of family
- one for our school & uni friends (separate sessions, morning & evening)
- one for our Kerteh friends

Ambitious tak ambitious? Hehehe.
I can't wait for the day to come!!!!!

Smooth Legs?

2010-01-09T17:57:00.001+08:00

Have u guys came across the ad in Facebook - My Smooth Legs? Which appears a lot, with different pictures?

I was actually quite interested in buying it, but then, i came across a forum on the Net discussing abt the stuff - and someone from Malaysia revealed that there was a Chinese girl featured in the ad's testimonial - claimed to be customer from Malaysia - was actually his friend, which used to be a beauty pageant (if I forgot the real story, then ini ada unsur2 rekaan hehe)..and NO, she never made such testimonial/shooting. Busted! So automatically, i thought, the product might be lousy as it can't even get a credible testimonial to begin with.

Anyway, as i was browsing in Guardian today, i came across this:

p/s credit to this site.

so i decided to give it a try.

and voila! it works! i tried it on my legs and it feels so smooth thereafter!

suke~

if u're interested, it's available in Guardian at RM39.90 (if i remember correctlylah).

go try! kat ketiak ke..heheheh.

Food & memories we love

2010-01-04T00:54:00.002+08:00

Last week, we had dinner at Otak-Otak Place in Tropicana City Mall.
We passed by the outlet so many times before, but never noticed it's overall concept. Upon being seated, we noticed that there was a set of 5 tudung botols on the table, and also a deck of cards carrying the characters of Dennis Bauber, Julie Welsh, Mrs Welsh, Mr Plod....it's Old Maid!!! Wowwwwwww so ol'skool!! Back to the 80's, baby! Excited gileeeee :)

Then comes the menu, in a 'buku latihan'!!!! Woweeeeeeee back to school!!

As expected, most of the dishes were derived from otak-otak, with the otak-otak claimed as 'otak-otak muar'. There were otak-otak fritters that looked like fish cakes, otak-otak wantan, otak-otak pao, etc. etc., majority of which were appetizers. Main course are the normal Malaysian cuisine, I would say ( hmm however, the taste is just ok) but what makes me sengih ke telinga is...

They have bubur kacang, baybehhhhhh!!!!! Kewl gile. Dah sempat dah imagine lepaking here with my friends and sisters sambil main tudung botol n makan bubur kacang. Gile darjah 4. Heh.

As if that's not enuff, there were also Ding Dang, Tora, Chewing gum yg bulat2 ada 3 biji of diff colours tu, among which we noticed. Hmm but they forgot about 'telur puyuh' yg colourful tu la..and also this chocolate biscuit yg cylinder in shape tu, yg panjang gile dlm wrapper kuning ( x ingat nama), and 'bin bin' that corn snack yg sedap tu.
Haha excited teringat zaman sekolah, boleh shopping for bende2 ni after extra class. :) I remembered my fav was this chocolate thingy called 'Catch' in a red wrapper. Satu 80 sen. Darjah 6 br mampu beli sbb pocket money diupgrade setiap tahun n setiap additional hour kat skolah. Haha. Mcm gaji je.

Anyways...we left the place, kekenyangan with 5 packets of chewing gum balls. I asked for 1 and I gave RM 1. Tapi dpt 5 coz sekali, satu 20sen...ahhhh...ol'skool lagi sbb tetibe reminded of how cheap things were back then. Haha.

But, definitely...I'll come again..for the food and memories we love!

Jakarta here i come!

2009-12-13T14:36:00.001+08:00

In a couple of hours, i'll be off to LCCT to catch the flight to Jakarta.
No, not a vacation coz I'm going there for a project review, tagging along our Principal. Yeah, LCCT not KLIA. Apparently the admin staff told me that "sekarang kena travel naik AirAsia" okay. It was so unexpected that I didnt make sure they book a seat for me (although they did book meal & supersize my luggage). So, gotta main musical chair later. Sigh. But actually, ok je, tak kisah pun. Ok tipu. Agak kisah sbb Air Asia is supposed to cater vacation only, dontcha tink?

Gonna miss my LoML so much. The room's gonna big, i hate having it alone!!

Bye, gotta continue packing.

Hijrah of Sanitary Pad (heh xde kaitan ngan Raya Korban)

2009-11-28T22:47:00.003+08:00

All this while I have been using Whisper for that time of the month. Normal ones with wings for day use, night ones for night use and panty liners when its about to end. Me, being a person who does her own research (kuikui, sempat memuji usaha sendiri) decided to stick to Whisper as to me, is the best in the market, after own comparison with other brands, apart from being the most expensive one *i believe the more expensive it is, the better is its quality. ok shallow sorry2 :) However, I still have the stains sometimes as well as the itchiness :( but nonetheless I still thought that it is the best that I can get.

One day, a friend was telling me about the normal sanitary pads in the market that was made of recycled materials, that releases dioxin, a type of cancer agent that goes straight into our womb from down there. She was insisting that i stop using normal sanitary pads and introduced me to Wanisa Sanitary Napkins.

An opened pack of mine

But I did not give up easily. As usual, I started my research.

And WAS SHE RIGHT!

I found the answer from few health sites, but I found this wraps it all up:

Ok fine. So I gave in and tried it.

And didn't regret it!

It's so comfortable, hugs the curves nicely, and no leaky! (despite mine was pretty heavy last month). But what impresses me most is that it stays dry and did not itch a single time!

I even used it when it was spotting for....more than a day. For itchiness test. And it beat me! No itchiness at all! So amazing...

I think I'm gonna stick to this.

Despite knowing that it costs more than it used to...after all, i believe the more expensive it is, the better is its quality. hehe.

And what is wealth without health?

Hmm. On second thought, I'll still keep my wordpress blog for the password-protection feature. it's convenient, really, when i just need to vent.

Haha.

This starts to sound pathetic. But what do i care? Hehehehe

Chapter 13: My Simple Yet Not So Great Achievement

2009-08-03T18:07:00.005+08:00

Hello buddies,

(That is, if anyone is still watching this space lah. *Dusting off the habuk :P)

Tadaaa!!! Sudah lama kan blog ni macam takde update?? Apart from I am busy minding Mr Hubster, i was actually blogging from some other blogs. This space (previously on different URL) & later on wordpress. Not that i love blogging so much though, i just need changes. Celebrating my new status, i created this blog. Need a change of environment, i moved to wordpress.

And when i can't access wordpress from office, i decided to revert to this space semula.

(Eurgh. i don't need to explain myself, do I?)

I still need to update the links though. And i promise entries this time will just be short, (most of the time) meaningless ones. Hehe. Just need a space to hear myself out.

Ok dah.

Oh nak jugak share with you guys.

I am now craving for cotton embroidered, beaded bags. Ala the artsy-fartsy one. This is all gara2 Accessorize yg baru bukak few weeks ago in KLCC. I heart their bags but i still think it's expensive and not really worth it! So i did some research on the Internet wondering if i can get similar ones at cheaper price...and i actually found this site! Gonna link it soon. And i sooooo love this one!

argh! tidak mampu memandang sahaja. gotta have it!

love-love-love it

So if any of u guys still thinking of buying me wedding present, i accept this one too. =)

Chapter 9: The Return of Me :)

2009-04-03T13:38:00.009+08:00

Yesterday, our countdown began at 7:55am in the morning when I received an sms:

"Ala baru 7.55 pagi..12 hours to go..love u"

Enough to make my day :) and to motivate me to double up the speed of whatever I shud do yesterday so I can step out from office the moment the clock ticked to 1 minute after 4 pm.

However, as I clicked the 'Send' button for submission of data to GT$ at 3:54pm, Boss came and asked to shoot an email to explain/correct OtherBoss's misinterpretation. So 6 minutes left to mengarang email, minus 5 minutes discussing with Boss=1 minute left! Rempiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Manela pukul 4.01pm kan. Maula lambat! Coupled with the fact that we have to pick up another passenger & fill up the tank, around 5pm jugakla managed to push off. Tak campur bottleneck kat Bukit Kuang lagi tu. LoML called at 5pm and when i told him that we were still at Kijal, he sounded so down. Aduiiiiii...pujukan2ku tidak berjaya menaikkan tone suara dia kepada his usual chirpy side. :( And he too, didnt ask abt my whereabouts every now and then..

But I kinda know why.

As i reached my stop, I called him. But it went unanswered. But I kinda know why.

I saw his car few metres away. He must be...

..sleeping in the car,

..since God knows when.

I kinda feel that he waited for me since he got out of office. He looked like just woken up from some sleep.

And we reached home (after dinner kat Uptown), we were greeted by

and as if that is not enuff,

Tidak semena2 saya telah mencair seperti jelly hingga terguling2 atas katil buat seketika :)

Chapter 8: Weekend Wife

2009-03-31T20:42:00.004+08:00

After few crying rounds i am officially a weekend wife. Oh yes i m cengeng like that. I didnt cry at the airport though, maybe since MIL was osso present. Heh. Not a time for drama.

As i reached home, the loneliness crept in. Oh i miss his voice already..and the kerjasama mengangkut bags ke dlm rumah, bukak2 lampu n so on. And when i entered our room,..arghhh! I miss him like crazy so i went out lepaking at the lvg room.

I thot i m so gonna cry but i didnt. Yay, sudah tabah! Tp takut nak keluar rumah. :p

Oh well, actually ths will gonna go on only until nxt wk..as i m moving too to join him. So the term weekend wife is only true for ths weekend. Hehe. Too much for the drama kan? I know, just cnt help it lah. Peace!

Chapter 7: Gemukla

2009-03-31T13:54:00.007+08:00

Yesterday we went to Isetan after having post-assessment lunch (I'll talk abt it later) at Delifrance. Purpose was to buy some workshirts as it's been a long time since I bought one andddd my current shirts are mostly 3/4 length sleeves, tidak seshuai sebenarnya. (Mungkin seshuai di Kertih tp tidak di KLCC. Yeah we Kertih people always have this thought that there are always 2 different sets of look for Kertih & KLCC, tah pape)

Anyway, saw few nice ones at Communique & Cultivation. I initially wanted to try Communique but as I had a bad experience trying on their shirts (ketat di body!huhu-even XL) so i jalan2 first and found this one blend of stripes in brown/peach shade at Cultivation. Tried - button 1 lepas, 2, 3,4 done...but...the bumps are visible!!! at least to me. arghhhhhhhhhh tensi. i feel so fat..so that shirt was returned and i walked away towards the entrance/exit.

At the counter, I bumped into my ex-Boss! =) She looked younger without her glasses on. Chatted a bit - it was good to see her anddddddddddddddd....that shirt again. Oh shoot. Tension dgn lemak2 di perut masih belum hilang but anyway I grabbed it and straight went to the counter. So I'll have a motivation to lose it. :)

No, am not pregnant. Or not that I know. But I'll know soon..and decide on next course of action! Or more precisely - to stay gemuk or otherwise. Tunggguuuuuuuuuuulah.

Chapter 6: Lazy

2009-03-27T05:51:00.003+08:00

Hubster is in the kitchen making dinner while me terbaring on the bed, trying to put off the tiredness.
Haih how i wish i m more energetic.

But i attribute ths to my menimbun tummy. It hs demotivated me so much. I feel fat. But i cant cut it off tht easily. I so cnt wait to know whether ths is for a reason? I wud love it so much if it is..and will start serious dieting if it shows otherwise.

Chapter 5: (A Belated) Post-Wedding Entry

2009-03-18T17:36:00.008+08:00

Tada!!!
I have bravely pursued the title of Puan.
But it still doesn't click with me.
Me, a Puan? Weird weird. Heh.

Many asks what does it feel like after getting married. Hmm, honestly I don't know how to answer that. The scope can be (IS) wide, u see. If I jawab dgn baik, they get naughty. If I jawab naughtily, the tease me! Hahaha. So how?

Its...tiring, I have to admit, but lovely. The kind of life that I dreamt while we were still going out, is becoming a reality :) We no longer have to go out for dinner to eat together. We can even cook together & fell asleep on each other while watching movies (heh, nampak sgt selalu tido masa movie). Handphone has somehow lose its importance, hence sorryla for the late sms replies :P
Tiring is when the laundry job doubles, when you gotta manage the clothes - washing, drying, ironing, folding, keeping, packing - especially so that we still live nomad, not having our own wardrobe & packing is weekly routine, in fact twice every week. But I guess that is only 1% compared to the overall lovely package..
But countered with the fact that my LoML has been very helpful - that leaves it to 0.5%. (tapi nak jugak cakap kan, heh)

(So i guess this one is more of a baik version of an answer)

Another question - where's the pics?
Honestly (again, lain2 masa jawapan agak berlapik okes) I am scared to look at the pics as I don't think that I make really good pichas. Unlike some others, camwhoring is not my cup of tea! Boring, eh? Hehehe. Whatever. Anyways, pics can be viewed from my FB pages - uploaded by others. I will upload, too - as soon as I get the pics from the hired photographers. Tak dapat lagi..

Chapter 4: Wedding in the Making

2009-02-17T21:22:00.002+08:00

Updates, updates.
I m ringing the wedding bell! Like, finally! After 28 wonderful months being in love. Heh.
4 days n (dis)counting! :)

Planning for the wedding is actually fun. I didnt feel much tense like people told i would. Its actually easy - if u tackle the to-do list by cluster,especially if u plan to outsource n already hv preferences of who to do this n that. Oh, did i mention a pool of ur hard-earned money too? Yes, that is..the enabler my dear ;)
Not withstanding the fact that u r gonna need more money thereafter - if u r planning to move into the lovenest soonest after the wedding.

In my case, so far everythg's tuned to my liking. I m blessed wth understanding mum n supporting family..my mum let me choose the key items for my wedding ;) from food to deco to doorgifts to hantaran to bunga telur etc. Hope it will turn out lovely ;)

Work..has been crazy. The kpi-catchup, outstanding obligation to go offshore, performance appraisal..plus nak kena study for assessment lagi..heh tp sempat lg nk kawen muahaha.

Chapter 3: 10 Muharram

2009-01-07T13:13:00.005+08:00

Fact: I am on puasa sunat today to prepare myself for the real ganti puasa campaign that i scheduled tomorrow. Just a puasa sunat because I didnt want to restrict myself if it gets real hard soon-sunat means can break fast anytime, hehe..

Come 1230 hrs, really feel like eating lah. Or shud i say, binge-ing. So i tell everyone that i am fasting but i feel like eating so shud i break the fast? Hehehe

Until someone told me its 10 Muharram today, which is such a good day to fast. Only then i realised that there're many mails abt Muharram flooding my mailbox today..owh..

So, i am still fasting..

Chapter 2: Discovery

2009-01-07T00:12:00.003+08:00

So now i know this is why they call it QWERTY keyboard! i thot it was
after the founder's name or team or sumthing..LOL..

p.s this is an attempt at mobile blogging ;)

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

2009-01-04T22:59:00.000+08:00

Here's my first post in 2009.

I am changing. I hope, for the better.

2009's gonna change my life..almost ultimately. i am seeing new job, new office, new geographical location, new house, new people, new life.

new eating pattern, new hobby to take up, new time management strategy to adopt.

new skills to develop,

renewed spirit.

so i want a new bloglah :) its just natural, ain't it?
