Yesyes, I have not updated this blog for so long..I barely remember that I have a blog. The reasons for my neglect is due to work, Hari Raya and again, work.

Work has been rather challenging these past few weeks; lots of people to handle at events. At office, I've been faced with some politics. Which I don't really give a damn about since the ones making the big fuss is not in my dept..no big deal for me. Malays will be Malays...if you get my meaning. I don't see the reason why another Malay can't be happy if another is happy (doing a good job, in fact!).

Dad's Volvo is finally sold. For major $$$..the buyer doesn't know the true value for the car. Luck is on daddy's side *winks* I'm getting the car (my second one) by the end of the year; my cousin was able to pull some strings to get everything approved quickly. I'll still be driving around my first baby..the second car is for daddy since he wants a smaller car to drive around.

My sis-in-law is rumoured to be with a baby. not sure if that's true since they haven't gone to the docs yet. I'm hoping for a niece!

My baju kebaya is ready. Just need to pick it up!! Smiling from ear to ear right now. Tomorrow is a public holiday for the state of Selangor. Happy...oh so happy!

Ever since I've started working, I come to love Fridays..coz it leads to the weekends. This weekend would probably be the same as always. Staying at home, cleaning my room (it's clean on the weekends, but come Monday, back to the state of messiness), chatting with the folks, and watching my tv shows whihc I missed over the weekdays. I don't really plan on going anywhere with anyone...somehow I just want to stay at home and be lazy.

Big boss still on leave. Which makes me slightly free to do whatever once my own work is done. Been doing nothing except returning phone calls and emailing clients. Why do they have to wait so long; just before the deadline so that they can just to utter the word "yes, please proceed". Work has been bearable this week.

So far, fasting has been ok..nothing much like hunger pain or sudden dizziness. Company is having our own buka puasa at a hotel next Wednesday. Can't wait for the buffet, yummy-licious. I also found a tailor to sew my baju kebaya..cost me only RM150 for the top. Worth every penny!

The only bad luck is that my car windscreen is cracked...no idea how that happened. Dad will be oh-so-"happy"..there goes more of MY CASH down the drain. Sigh........

SO, the medical check-up went ok. The only thing is the nurse told me that I need to lose some pounds. My ideal weight is 50kg, but I'm weighed 52kg right now. Hmmm, I don't see whats the big deal..2kg over wont kill me!

Why do people go for relationships that they know is doomed from the start. My theory is that they're trying to make amends that they can't make in their previous relationships. Yeah sure you'll be happy for like a month or so..or probably a year but when it comes to the critical points in life, can the relationship really within stand pressure? I don't think so..not in some relationships I know. When you set yourself for disappointment, you will be let down by that person. But it takes two to tango; so instead of freaking out towards that person, think who put oneself in danger of getting hurt. I'm not saying don't take chances in life/love but think before you leap. Anyway, hopefully my dear friend feels better.

There is so much to do this month; get my baju raya, attend events and so on.

Some people laughed at me this morning! Why.....I'm wearing a baju kurung to work. First time for anything, rite. One of the editorial teams is organizing a doa selamat later at 9am; so Shari must act and look proper for the occassion.

Need to go to the panel doc for a medical check-up. Nothing much to blog about except for work. Afew big events coming up; even planning for next year's big ones. What pisses me off is that I have to work on the eve of Raya! Only 2 hours but still!

Oh the friendship front, I had lunch with Beng that day. Dinner with Daniel yesterday and probably dinner again tomorrow.

[edit]
The above post was for last week
[/edit]

I took 2 days off from work on Thursday and Friday…just to relax and get some work done at home. Yup…I think I’m turning into a workaholic. Lots of stuff to do before November issue deadline; this month. Since at work, I have to plan everything 2 months ahead..I find myself planning my life 2 months ahead. My monthly budget, my holidays and hmmm, so for that’s all I’ve planned.

Fasting month is coming soon. I’ve yet to replace the days I’ve broke fast last year…mental note to self: make replace soon!

In my mind right now..its just work, work work. I need to get promo pages done, and then get client’s approval to run it in the mag and so on. Sigh, I’ve yet to buy my baju raya..planning to get a baju kebaya. I even have a budget for that…

Never thought I’ll be so careful with money.

This month I've learnt the art of having tons of patience while making sure clients are kept happy. Even though, deep inside I just felt like putting a gun on my head due to the severe pressure (annoyances) from one particular client. Thank god; she's leaving that company end of this month.

I'm practically broke even though; I just got my pay. Why? Well, had to give half of the salary to dad so that he could send my car for servicing. Timing belt is due to be changed and so on. Not really into knowing which parts does what in a car. Boss's wedding will be end of Sept; fasting month. Yes, I will be fasting. So, I can survive a month without spending too much on food *winks*

Last but not least, selamat hari Merdeka! (happy that it's a holiday!!!)

Another hectic week. Thank god, I'm not working this weekend! Looking forward to meet up with Evonne this Saturday.

Why a hectic week? Well, one of the co-workers broke her back while climbing up a tree to pick fruits. Don't ask me why she did that; I'm clueless myself as why a 27 year-old lady would climb up a tree on her own. So, her workload has been delegated to the whole marketing department (that's my department). I get to do the promo pages for a certain Malay magazine while still doing my own work. So, I foresee that I'll be working late nights soon enough. Signs of stress are already here; I woke up late for work today while nursing a bad case of backache.

Later, need to head over to Sunway area to pick up goodie bags from the client. Which reminds me that I need to stop by at Pyramid to get shopping vouchers that is needed for the event. At leats I get to get out of the office for awhile. Luckily my own work is done.

Oh yeah, finally got my sunglasses.

Friday is finally here. Confirmed I'm not working this weekend. Making Shari a very happy girl. Planning to chill out at home on Saturday and hang out at Plaza Damas area on Sunday with Yanti and Aizura. Cousin's shop is there (the flea market) so planning to buy some stuff from her shop..or maybe, I should save up for the phone. We'll see how things goes *winks*

The card came this week; doing my best not to use it. Dad got it for me; for god-knows-why. He just said "Make sure you pay before the bank charges interest" I was like OK! I was planning NOT to own any cards but dad said its best to have one in an event of emergency. Hopefully, my will power is strong enough.

BB's house got broken into on Monday. They took his wallet, phone and so on. He didn't mesmerize my number so he just e-mailed me to tell me about the break-in. He said sorry for not calling and whatever. I didn't even notice that he DIDN'T call. Signs of me not being INTO him. Maybe I should tell him......

I'm at the office, yes it's a Saturday and I'm working. The girls of the 17 Star Search are doing their training at the office so I have to come to work. Not that I have better things to do but I was kind of hoping to take a break this weekend. To comfort myself, I keep telling myself "you're getting paid, don't worry!!!"

For the past 2 weeks, I have not gone shopping except for some medicines and my beloved face cream. This means I might (ok, I will) buy a new cellphone before the year ends. The only thing that stands in the way would be if the monthly expenses isn't well-budgeted or I go on one of my crazy shopping spree. Dad reminded me that I need to set aside some money for the car's insurance and the oh-so-cheap security system; need to pay for both at the end of the year. Next month, I'll be paying for my car's maintenance service; for the first time. That would probably cost me somewhere between RM300 to RM500.

One mmore thing that I'm determined to achieve before the year ends is cut out the "friends" that keeps upsetting me or the ones that don't deserve my attention for reasons like they only find me when help is needed and so on. Friends like that are easily replaced and luckily, I only have 1 "friend" who is like that.

On a brighter note, BB is insane........over me. But, I'm stepping back for awhile coz I need time for myself.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!!!!

Alot has happened since the last time I've blogged. Went to a few events; helped out with some photoshoots and met up with a dear friend for lunch. Of course; that friend "made" me buy 2 items which were on sale coz "you will look good in it" Other than that; life has been the same except I told someone off the other day because his actions were beginning to annoy me.

My birthday is coming soon. Next week; on the 28th. So, here's the list of items I want (in no particular order and you don't have to buy them):

1)Flowers
2)A treat at ANY spa outlet
3)A new cellphone
4)2 items I saw on ebay.com.my (very cheap)

Blogging from work. Work has been quite hectic nowadays; as usual. This coming Thursday; have to go for an event at Hilton. Launching the new look for one of the magazines. So, need to dress up. I also need to work this weekend; for a photoshoot. Something to do with good-looking people; the 50 Gorgeous People Search. Hopefully there will be some gorgeous guys at the shoot *grins*

Still feeling the pain from the Sunway Lagoon trip. Never go with people who can't swim coz you end up helping them to swim.

Yesterday, I was pretty busy. Readers calling in for reservations; sorting out mail; work-related stuff. Had lunch with GM yesterday; it was a group lunch. Ladies from my department including myself "had" to go. Nothing much to talked about except for the annual event coming up end of this year. I'll be going around Malaysia around that time; so expect me to go missing soon *winks*

Later in the evening, event at Lot Ten. It was ok except certain things wasn't as what the readers and we "as in we; in my department" expected it to be. Too bad; I can't b*tch about it since anyone can read a blog and i don't want to get in trouble at work. Evonne was there with Simon; happy that I finally met her after so long *grins*

As the private shopping event went on; I and the girls bought ourselves some stuff. I got a pink halter dress; which was a DAMN bargain. Only thing is now its made of sheer material and I'll probably have to go braless. Right now, Lee would probably laugh, Tim would curse and Em would want to borrow the dress! Am I right; people? Pls comment if so *winks*

Right now, nursing a stomachache; ate too many food last night. Damn you pastries!

Finally free to blog. Been doing work since morning. Time to take a break; plus lunch is just around the corner. Will be very busy this week; lots of events going on. This saturday, going out with work mates to Sunway Lagoon. Can't wait to see what silly things they'll do.

This month, my spending urges has been mediocre; bought a jacket from MNG last weekend. Might get new specs soon; eyeing on the ones I saw at KLCC. Tim will lecture me if I even mention the brand of the specs here coz its kind of expensive but I really liked it *me saying that with a whining voice*

Tim is back from Australia for a family gathering. I dropped him off at the LRT statioon this morning. He was complaining how it took me an hour to get ready for work. Hello, I need to shower, get dress and put on makeup so technically, thats an hour well-spent ok!

Friends, I'm so sorry for being too busy to spend some time. Enough said.

I'm not really broke; just I've touched the limit for spending already. Thank god, salary will be in tonight. Need to give money to parents and buy some personal items for myself. Right now, not really busy at work except answering calls from readers concerning 2 events that are coming up next week.

I'm pretty annoyed at someone; not telling who she is coz she'll probably read my blog. No point of hiding the truth from me since we both have the same circle of friends and she'll probably spill the beans once she's drunk. Silly girl. Enough said about her coz the issue here involves Em and Lee.

Been getting e-mails from them more frequently now; probably because I'm online almost everyday now and plus; they miss me. They will be in town in August; nothing is confirmed but I'm looking forward for some gila-ness. My birthday is coming up soon; no idea how to celebrate it. Probably a quiet but enjoyable day at home?

Just got back from college; NO! I'm wasn't there to study but to collect my degree cert and transcript. Aizu and Yanti came along; for fun. We practically made fun of everything and everyone..reminds me of Evonne and Fiona. Miss those two girls SO MUCH! Fiona's office isn't that far away from mine; just a road away. But alas, too busy to meet up.

Weekend is finally here; don't have to work this weeked which is a big relief for me! But have to visit cousin in Kajang; he's back from London. Will be leaving soon so have to see him before he goes away. There goes my plans to sleep and get a haircut. My hair is a mess; need a trim. No colouring anymore. Been thinking of getting highlights but against it now since I'll probably do more damage to the hair than it already has been damaged.

On the financial side, I've been buying way too many clothes thus making me broke; but its ok..getting the salary next Monday so no biggie. Amazing how grown up one feels after being able to pay for everything and all. Lucky I have no loans to pay. Lucky my car was fully paid by daddy dearest so no car loans there, no house loan to pay since living with family. Overall, I'm pretty lucky so can't pout about my low salary because I have things good..unlike others.

Friday is finally here; which means weekend is just around the corner. Unlucky for me since I'll be working this weekend too. First an event at Mangotree Restaurant, Bangsar. On Sunday, an eventb at MidValley starting around 12 in front of TopShop..looking for good-looking people to be in "50 Gorgeous People" contest. Just looking around for 25 girls/25 guys. The finals will be held in Decembar at Zouk.

I'm pretty much tired; since been working almost every weekend. Don't even get me started on my eye bags and so forth. Right now, sipping on coffee. My latest new friend. Opppss...gotta go; breakfast is calling.

Boss is out; most of the people in my department is out. Sitting here..feeling cold. This week has been too hectic for me to describe. 3 events going on this week; two fo which are on the weekend. Tomorrow; the event is a formal cocktail dinner at a art gallery in PAM center. No idea where that is; guess I;ll find out tomorrow.

My eye bags are getting worse day by day. I'm losing weight; a good but yet a bad thing to happen to me. Doc said I'm underweight but I doubt I can gain weight since I'm prone to getting sick easier nowadays. Who cares anyway!

For tomorrow's dinner, need to wear batik or suit. I'm opted for a dress; probably the grey one. Been awhile since I wore that; hopefully it still fits. This Saturday's event will be at Sunway Lagoon. Can't wait for that; for reasons I'm not telling anyone.

Last Friday was good. Met up with friends from college. Haven't seen any of them since all of us left college. The reason for meeting up was someone is leaving for a better work opportunity at a neighbouring country. I managed to sprained my leg that night..still feeling the pain right now. Oppss..better go, need to settle some details concerning tomorrow's event.

Been awhile since I've blogged. Why the sudden hiatus?!? Well, work is the root of all problems. The evil of working life! I'm usually at work by 8am; back home around 7pm. Stuck in the traffic jam almost everyday.

I have plenty of events lining up for the rest of the year; 17 Mag's Summer Splash Party is coming up soon; 10 June 2006. Not sure if I'll be working that day but my instinct tells me that I'll be working. This weekend (tomorrow), I'll be heading for Penang. For a short weekend holiday plus dad's friend's son's wedding in Taiping on Sunday. Mum said I'm losing weight since started work. I'm not surprised because by the time I get home, I'm bloody tired and no mood to eat dinner. Because of work, I've yet to collect my degree cert. from college. Because of work, I've neglected that person and I'm not surprised that person refuses to call or even text me. I don't really care since the relationship is only based on superficial grounds; nothing serious. Because of work, I've yet to meet with friends; neglecting most of my best buddies. But they're also busy with their own life and work. So, I don't feel that gulity about it.

The only thing I'm happy about is my salary is in, I get to go back to Penang and my car *hopefully* will be out from the repair shop next week. Oh yeah, big congrats to a girlfriend from my college years that literally made it to the skies.

Nothing much to blog about. Second week at work. So far, it's been good. Learning some new stuff, getting ready for an event at Sunway Pyramid. The event will be held this weekend. Will be a long weekend; hopefully it turns out good.

Need to get my degree cert but can't find the time to do so. Need to meet up with Evonne too; lots of gossips going on.

Your Birthdate: July 28

You have a Type A personality so big it makes other Type A's shrink away in shame. You never shy away from adversity - and you love to tackle impossible problems. Failure is not an option for you, and more than a few people are put off by your ego. You tend to be controlling, and you hate leaving anything up to chance. Your strength: Your bold approach to life Your weakness: You don't accept help Your power color: Bronze

Yesterday was my first day at work. It was ok. Slightly busy. Next week, have to work on weekends...an event at Sunway. Still sick, car still in workshop and it took me 10 minutes to remember the password for my office's computer. Enough said, my life is bloody hectic *pouts*

Sunday, 24 April 2006. Graduation day. Woke up feeling excited..strangely nervous!

While taking a shower that very morning, it finally came to me that my educational phase of my life is sort-of-over [I believe learning is a "tru-out-ur-life" progress though]. Around 11am, I was already at the Shangri-la Hotel with the folks.

Waited for Evonne to arrive so that we could put on our robes. Imagine around 7 girls in the loo trying to put on make-up, get robed and so forth...yeah there were alot of them! Never seen so many people dressed in formal clothes in my life before!

Took photos like mad; had to leeched on friends' cameras since mine was with my daddy. So friends, please e-mail me the photos [if possible]. Left friends to have lunch with the folks. Around 2 something, the ceremony finally started.

Stuffing myself!

The overall ceremony was dull but I just hanged in there; out of respect. Took photos again; this time with the whole family together. Bro and sis came for support; thanks! Sis got me flowers *blush* Thanks to Lee, Em and Tim for sending me flowers; even though you all are in other countries..I hate to say this but the flowers arrived 3 days prior to the Big Day. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for all the gifts I've gotten. Remind me never to ask for anymore bags!! I have a few new ones already. Off to take more silly photos of myself and Aqif.

Finally!!!!!!!!

Been awhile since I’ve blogged or even log online. Why? Well, it all happened on 6th April. The day I was in a car accident.

It happened around 11.55am that day; on my way from home to pick up Aqif at his kindergarten. Since the traffic light had turned red, I stopped my car at the very busy junction. While waiting for my turn to go, I was busy singing to a song on the radio and making a fuss about how the car is low on fuel! The light turned green; so I hit on the gas since it’s my turn to go. Next thing I know a huge trailer [the ones that carries cargo] was heading towards my way. The trailer was in the wrong as it was beating the red traffic light. It crashed into my side [driver’s side] of my car. My car was then dragged for 10 meters meanwhile hitting another car [a Kancil]. My car only stopped when it hit the road divider…luckily the car didn’t flip over. The moment the car stopped; I just sat in the car and cried. The shock….the amazing feeling of “thank god I’m still alive”. I felt thankful and scared at the same time. Moments later, some people helped. I called my family for help; couldn’t get dad on the phone since he left his mobile phone at home. Brother-in-law was the first one to arrive at the scene. He took me to the hospital since I had cuts on the body and I couldn’t move my right arm. Had X-ray done, and ultra-sound done. Everything was ok except for some cuts, bruises and the arm. After that, made a police report.

The guy in the trailer confessed that it was his fault. He said he knew he would hit my car and he knew that his brakes were faulty. How irresponsible can someone be?!? I could have been killed due to his carelessness and one of his friends dare to tell to me “Tak apa, sikit saja!”

Imagine me sitting in the driver's seat!

Enough said about that. I’m ok; arm is healing, bruises still there. Cuts are gone. Car is still in workshop. Another 2 or 3 months for it to be repaired. The cost for repairing the car is over RM15, 000. Thank god for insurance. Just thankful I’m still here; enjoying life.

Brother’s wedding reception is finally over with. It was a blast. Tiring but exciting. I am getting along quite well with my new sis-in-law. I thought of calling her “Kakak” as a way of respecting her since she is married to my older brother but I decided not to and it’s better to bond as friends.

Me and the bride

Convocation will be held this Sunday... FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another weekend at home; so far my allergies are gone [thank god for that]. Spent the whole morning as well as lunch time cleaning up the house; my body is aching right now.

Amazingly, dad hasn't been pressuring me to be employed but my friends are kind of getting on my nerves about it. It's not like I'm not looking. I probably should have taken that job but the idea of moving to another country is not something I wish for; even though it's still within Asia. Tough luck, I guess.

My allergies came back *pouts* No idea why. Bloody doc was pretty useless..instead he scolded me for eating. If I knew what makes my skin break out into red spots...I WON'T eat it, duh!

I'm finally making an effort to look for a job; it started with 2 separate conversations with 2 different friends. They basically got me motivated. Today was a pretty hectic day. Woke up, took medicine, got ready for "something". I totally made an idiot of myself; in front of someone. Seriously, lessons learnt today is never have a VERY formal talk with one of my best friends and never talk to someone while I'm high on medication; which I did today which made me into a laughing fool.

Finally, time to blog.

I've been sick for the past 2 weeks [AGAIN]. First it was the flu, next comes the allergies. Last Sunday, Doctor suggested that I should opt for an injection for the allergies; so I took his advice..two shots [on the butt, mind you!] The rashes were gone after two hours which was good coz the gang were coming over for a farewell dinner. Can't believe they're leaving tonight. Lee and Em will be taking their flight together while Tim is leaving with his mum due to certain family matters. I'm glad they were in KL for a long visit; we've took time to settle certain issues that cause our friendship to drift apart. Em still thinks I'm as crazy as ever but somehow Tim thinks I'm growing up..no longer behaving like I used to. Thank god for that :)

Met up with Evonne yesterday. Miss the girls and Beng. Went to college to settle some stuff concerning the convocation. Then, had lunch with her in Midvalley. Talked alot and mostly, she did the shopping. I had to make sure that I didn't spend any money..even though, I was on the urge to spend. I'm sorry if I offended any of my friends by not spending time with them. The reason for it.....is I'm sick, busy with bro's wedding and the NEED to SAVE $$$$$$. Enuff said. Once in awhile, I don't mind hanging out but it depends with whom and where.

The house is still undergoing minor renovations. Thus, me being very busy cleaning the mess. Actually, dad did asked me to help earlier...so I'm off to help *sigh*

The reasons for not updating my blog:

My grandma passed away last Sunday [around 1.30am, in her sleep]. So I'm pretty busy [and tired] for all the things which had to be done. I'm sorry for being moody [those who called me throughout this week would testify to my "moody-ness"].

I've been sick AGAIN for the last 3 weeks. God knows why!

Finally some good news. I passed all my exams. Convo will be held in April. Now just need to worry about how good/bad my results were!

Till next time [when my mood is better], bye.

Finally! Sorry for the lack of updates. Been busy..actually, my computer went crazy last week.

First, it crashed. Luckily, dad extended the warranty of the PC so I was able to get a replacement for the hard disc. I had to call the customer service dept to make sure that my warranty is still valid coz I lost the invoice and all when we moved to this house. I have to say that the lady who took my call was quite snobbish and rude. She told me to call the technical support dept instead since my warranty is still valid.

I called the tech. guys; the guy was very helpful. The next day, a technician was at my house to fix the PC. Of course, I had to reinstall everything; which is a very slow process since most of the cds that was needed to reinstall the softwares were missing. So, I had to download most of it from the Net *pouts*.

The next day, I got another error message on the PC. Seems like this time, it can't detect my sound card [something like that]. I called up the tech guy again; he assured me that he'll get the same technician to fix my problems. But later that day, I fixed my own problems. So now, my beloved PC is fine. The tech guy called again yesterday to make sure everything was ok. How nice; good to know that some companies in Malaysia do take care of their customers.

Boy, I've survived almost 2 weeks without using the Net. I didn't even touched my computer except to fix the CPU; I got tired of waiting for brother to fix it so I attempted to fix it myself. I was glad that it didn't explode after what I did to it.

Did some shopping today; needed some stuff for Raya. Relatives are coming over for lunch tomorrow; I'm practically tired from all the vacumning and mopping! I still need to write my resume for Wednesday's interview and I need to do the presentation on Thursday.

Busy busy busy....
