Shafiq showing off his talent! :D
People say im dumb cos even after not living in Cyberjaya, I still travel far and pay for 2 tolls to get to ma car workshop in Seri Kembangan. But guess what..IT'S WORTH IT!
Here's why.
1. They answer every questions I have about my car
2. They never force me to buy new products on the market just for the sake of selling it
3. They enlighten me about what my baby car needs and prioratize the changes needed based on the damage and my budget
4. They would prioratize my car when I send it in on pack Sunday (given the fact that I call them first)
5. They would open early/stay back late when I need an emergency checkup.
There are more to that list! One time I told them that I would collect my car a lil late; at night, in a cab. Being the awesome human beings that they are, all of them waited for me at the food stall next to the workshop! Even the boss! How amazing is that?? Then again..i end up goin with Aini. (U know I dont favour public transportation :P)
And what triggered me to write about this is because of what happened today. My front tyre got busted by a super big screw from the road (stupid ss7 junction..still under construction! >.<). So I called my mechanic up, and he said he will come over at night to change it to spare tyre (since i dunno how to do that :P). I told him to take my car away to the workshop since it needs to be serviced anyways, but he said he will be coming alone, but he will c what he can do. Later around 8+/9, he called up before leaving the workshop to get the address and also put a smile on ma face instantly by saying "saya bawa orang untuk ambil kereta". it was like music in my ears. (well u c..since the workshop is far away..i usually postpone ma journey there due to laziness! so to get em to collect ma car is just freaking awesome!)
So I brought my car down from parking to get it outside the condo since they waited there. And guess who accompanied ma mechanic to get ma car? no. guess again. give up? the boss! he told me what need to be done to the car..and since ma engine made loud noises..he suggested what to be done n everything. and he end the meet up with "selamat hari raya!"
See. Loyalty is priceless. Every organization, company, corporate needs this..esp internally..and externally. its what we call resonance.
P.S: Those who wants to give a shot with the workshop, it's Bridgestone workshop in Seri Kembangan, beside the police station, near the Jusco/McD ;)
Cheers~ and Salam Aidiladha!

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee McD! Really. I can eat it everyday..once upon a time that is. :P
Even when I travelled to Sabah and Terengganu, we had McD once we landed! Hahahahaha. Then again, that was out of desperation. :P But my point is that I LOVE McD~!
I love everything thats on the menu. From Mc Chicken to Fillet O Fish to the fried chickens. The only thing i dont is the McRempits!!!
You can say Im the queen of fast food. Most of the time I get em delivered. I bet you don't know that you can get Nandos deliverd now do you? :P I just wish they can get KFC delivered too. But I hate McD delivery team. Esp the one in Kelana Jaya. They all 'lepak' right in front of the front door. None-of them look trustworthy, they ride their bike dangerously. One time i nearly hit a McD delivery guy in my condo parking as he was riding it like a crazy fella! They don't follow the traffic rules and always hit the red lights.
Unlike the Dominos' delivery dudes who will wish you properly after ringing your door bell, McD delivery guys will ring the bell as if they are in a hurry to pee! They will not even wish you good day or anything. Even though it is requested by McDonalds for the customer to sign the delivery receipt, they never get it done.
Maybe McD should look into that, especially since they provide 24/7 delivery service.
Cheers~ and hidup fast food! :P

I dont think I can ever fly Firefly from KL to Terengganu..esp in this weather! I couldnt even handle MAS'! I had one of the worst flights to Terengganu yesterday. Mainly cos of the weather. We were supposed to land at 8.30pm..instead we landed at 8.50pm...just circling around the dark stormy clouds before we could get a thumbs up to land.
No no..thats not the worst part. Our hotel. Gosh.. from Le Meridian in Sabah to TY Midtown Hotel in Terengganu! Some 1 or 2 star hotel..thats not even listed in the world wide web! Oh my God...the toilet was just creepy...I told Mary and Yanti..ill limit ma usage of the toilet! Hahahahaha!
We walked to McD at 10pm since everywhere else were closed. First time looking at McD that was spelled in Jawi. :P Kelantan does that too?
Anyways, the meeting went a-ok the next morning in Marang. Ofcourse we didnt get there without some challenges. The breakfast was weird and the cab driver charged us double!! Mary..maybe cos u r white :P hehe
But the best part was after that. We went shopping. I...who declared broke..spent RM260!! just RM5 less than Mary! Hahahahahahaha. We shopped till the extend where I could no longer walk! Dumb of me to not change into slippers. You should never shop in 3" heels!!
Here's the best part. I have to give amazing credit to En Syed, TM Internal Brand Ambassador from Kuantan who had made my day..and Mary and Yanti's too definitely. He was kind enough to drive us back from Marang to K.T so we could check out..brought us to have nice kampung lunch before dropping us off to shop and picking us up back 2 and a half hours later. He brought us to witness the "Crystal Mosque", Lopong (is that the name? We got all our lekor from there), the museum, and a few others. A nice ride indeed. Then he brought us back to his sis' in-law's place to freshen up and pack our things before serving us AMAZING nasi dagang and fetching us back to the airport. I cannot think of another kind soul than him for being such an amazing being to have been as kind as he was to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you En Syed.
So that was it. I reached KLIA around 10.30pm just now..oh and did i mention in my slippers?? Hahahahaha. I just couldnt walk anymore. Had to change into slippers no matter how businesslike-smart-dressed i was. :P
It's 12.30am now. Im just done unpacking AND repacking for Penang tomorrow. Will update on that soon. :)
Cheers~

Ok..after reading back my prev post...i guess i sounded pretty emotional. :P but well..thats how i felt..or still feel!
Anyways, what I was trying to point out is that...none of the staffs there are willing to take that extra leap to strengthen their service. Actually the problem doesn't only exist within MAS, but many other companies too. Sadly to say even in TM. Ppl just refuse to spend that lil extra effort, or energy or even a plain SMILE just because it is out of their on-the-paper- job scope. How sad is that?
I believe that you should treat ppl the way you want to be treated no matter in what ever condition. If your customer is yelling and angry, stop, pause, and think. If I'm in his/her situation, what would I appreciate ppl to do at that moment? Even if you can't help out, say something that can help calm the situation. It's all about psychology.
At the end of the day, no matter what business line you are in, what position you hold, we are all working in CUSTOMER SERVICE. Agree?
cheers~

Tuesday, 4th Dec 07...I'll remember that day FOREVER cos Ive never felt humiliated than ever before!
Flying was once fun. Once upon a time, it felt good being greeted by airlines staff. They made us feel welcomed and in a way thank us for flying with their airlines..cos that means we can afford to...which also means we support the airline...and also says "kachinggg~" into their bank accounts at the end of the month. Once upon a time Malaysia Airlines..or better known as MAS was an awesome airline. Good receptionist, good ticket counter, good cabin crews, good pilots..even good planes. Now? Lets just say they are lucky they are the only 'executive' Malaysia's airline around.
I've been flying since I can remember. I've discovered the clouds in many airlines. But have I never felt unwelcomed as I felt last Tuesday.
I was assigned to conduct a Focus Group in Sabah with MCG Asia. Yanti and I was scheduled for a 4.15pm flight. We reached KLIA just in time for a standby checkin. Well...yeah it was a bit late for normal checkins...but I mean..come on...all you need to do was to call the crew and ask if we can still check in or not. Shouldnt it be a customer-friedly service? Anyways...after giving up from arguing with the snobbish MAS staff at the counter, we went down to the MAS ticket counter to pay penalty for the next flight suggested by the snobbish asshole; 4.55pm. Ofcourse he had to make me feel like im some first time flyer when i asked for a confirmation of the penalty charge..."RM100"he said. i asked "eh expensive d? (i remembered it was less than that last time).." and he had to say "ye la. ni buat tiket BAS!"... :O I seriously felt like shoving "excuse me! Ive flew more than your life time u asshole!" to his annoying farking face!
Since we were late, and the office was packed, I went up to the business ticket counter to ask for the lady who looked free to help us out. Without even looking up to me, she just said "this is 1st class counter" with the bitchy-attitude-face. i just had to answer "what kind of service is this??" n yanti just pull me aside to calm me down.
Fine. Yanti then approached the NORMAL flight counter staffs to get their help. Gosh..she was actually literaly begging em to help us out! And they were just giving her the attitude face! "I'm bz. Can't you c? Are u asking me to get my friends to leave their customers to attend to yours instead??" Goshhhh! I just had to walk away! Cos I know I'll just burst! No one is asking you to LEAVE your customers to attend to us. But can't you say it politely? Something that sooth us who are rushing for our flights..rather than pissing us off and adding more stress on our shoulders??? Geeeshhh!
In the end, a kind guy helped us out. paid 100bucks each for the penalty and ran up to checkin. it was 4.30. the flight scheduled at 4.55. once we reached the counter, the farking snobbish staff just looked our ticket, looked up to us and said "DAH TUTUP". what the fuck?? that was when i just BURST! he suggested for 4.55 flight. asked us to go down to pay penalty. n once we get back to check in...he just fucking plainly say CLOSED! goshhhhh!!! i started yelling cos it doesnt make sense! he didnt even check at the system or ask the other crews if we could still get up the plane. i know i was yelling pretty loud as some of the guys lining up at the next lane turned to look at us. and just guess what he did? MERAJUK! wtf... "why are u yelling at me?? u r the one who's late. i didnt promise 4.55. who said there's seats for 4.55??" arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
it is so not me to rush for a flight. usually ill just grab a flight that ill have ample time to checkin or what not. but yanti seems determined to get up that plane. so she begged the guy to help us out. n so he did. he checked the system and called up the crew at the gate and there are seats available. ofcourse he didnt let us go without lecturing us and the "see! if u talk nicely i would help right? ur friend tu..she should talk nicely to me". wth la! my flights are part of your salary u jerk! n u r the caused for us to miss our first flight..and nearly the 2nd. if i hadnt yelled and if we were as soft as we were earlier on...i bet he wouldnt have allowed us to get up that flight either! and the worst part...when we reached the gate, no one even board the plane yet! and there were so many empty seats on the plane; more than 10!! arrhhhh!!!
what the hell ever happened to MAS staff???? its bad enough there are so many delayed flights lately...the staff and crews are just making situations worst! aihhhh....
I admit I dont fly AirAsia much. Mainly cos I dont like to walk to the plane..or the airport..or the plane. But seriously...the counter staff are much muchh better than MAS'.
One thing I learnt...never underdress when you fly. Always look your best so ppl take you seriously. We'll c to that this Monday when I fly for Terengganu instead.
Cheers~

I dont believe that there's a thing called super true friendship where u never lie, never hurt each other, never make anyone cry, never this n never that. pure perfection. i dont believe it exist. if u do and u r experiencing it..by all means..CONGRATULATIONS! cos u might be the ONLY one who enjoy that gift.
I have had a good share of friendships since I ever started understanding words, actions and feelings. And to tell you the truth, I'm gifted with a handful of wonderful true friends. By wonderful, i dont mean perfection. and by true, i dont mean tear-less. I have 3 wonderful bestfriends. And to get to this stage wasnt an easy ride either. Ah la..u know kids...will definitely have misunderstanding here and there..arh..those normal stuff. I went through that phase with Aze and Ita. By all means I never regreted any of it cos it just strenghten our friendship even more! As for Eeleng, it was a bit different cos I met her while in uni. By then I was a lil more matured, so there wasnt any major misunderstanding and what not.
I'm 23 now. I consider maself kindda somewhat an adult la kan. Yer la..I'm already earning ma own moneh, have ma own place to live in, a car, a guy.. Kalu masih ingat a small kid melampau la tuh :P. As an adult, you gotta act and think as one too, am I right?
What dissappoint me is that, my general perception that my friends who are averagely around my age will be somewhat with the same maturity as I am. How i am so wrong about that.
Past are meant to be in the past. If you dwell with it too much, you'll never be able to move on. If i had kept tight to all the small lil misunderstandings i had with all my friends..ill never be good friends with anyone right now. You forgive and forget..but at the same time learn from it and escape from repeating the same mistake again.
Running away from viewing the bad/ugly side of yourself is not that healthy either. Yeah when we look into the mirror..we want to look our best. We wanna look at angles that's flattering. But that doesnt mean u should just throw away the attn needed by the ugly side of yourself. You still gotta look at it. What can you do about that scar on your left cheek? cover up or proper medication? If u just ignore it..it might just get worst. it might even be permanent! It's the same with us. None of us are perfect, so if you know you have weaknesses, work on improving it. not RUN AWAY from it. that is NEVER a solution, my friend.
I happened to get tangled in a ..what I call a no-title-misunderstanding. I had a small Raya gathering and I invited some friends over. My bestfriend from Penang came all the way just to join this yearly occasion. Everything was goin well. I was freakingly tired from the preparation ofcourse, but it was all worth it. Until I realised the next day that a friend who attended wasnt happy with me because I happened to not inform him that his ex will be in presence of my gathering. I thought since all my friends have GROWN UP and are ADULTS...no such misunderstandings will occur. How i was wrong.
Fine, maybe it was my mistake to have not informed. Then again it wasnt on purpose. If u have had prepared/organized a gathering on your own..with ur 2 bare hands..with very minimal help, u will know that the priority at the end of the day is to prepare for the food n such.
Actually, I did make a list a few days before, but I just never thought that inviting the exes will cause such commotion. His ex seems fine and moved on and totally fine with his presence. But that wasnt the case for him.
When you can't handle a situation you are in, pause and think, what went wrong. Do not just place blames on other ppl. It was you who couldn't handle the situation. It was you who felt uncomfortable for God knows what ever reason. You do not need to throw judgement and accusation on other people. You would rather throw away a friendship due to your ego and own weakness of self-control? Too bad for you.
What I'm trying to say here is that, never take forgranted of your friends..especially when they are your bestest friends! Sometimes you don;'t think before you speak with em just bcos u think ull never lose them and they will be ok with it. People have feelings. Just because they've been sticking with you the whole time, doesnt mean they will tomorrow. Friendships are like plants. You have to water em, feed em..get em enough sun...then they will grow. Don't expect to have a healthy plant by just watering it once every 3 months and go around telling "i have a rare plant at home". It doesnt work that way.
So is there such thing as true friendship. I think so. But it's up to you to define it. You can either be a liar to live in a "true friendship" or accept the reality in a true friendship. Your call, mate

Just because they've been sticking with you the whole time, doesnt mean they will tomorrow. Friendships are like plants. You have to water em, feed em..get em enough sun...then they will grow. Don't expect to have a healthy plant by just watering it once every 3 months and go around telling "i have a rare plant at home". It doesnt work that way.
So is there such thing as true friendship. I think so. But it's up to you to define it. You can either be a liar to live in a "true friendship" or accept the reality in a true friendship. Your call, mate
It's Syawal 1st. Happy Eidilfitri everyone~! Maaf zahir dan batin. :)
p.s- realized there are quite a no. of comments from my prev post. will talk about that in the next post. tunggguuuuu...~!

I visited a friend in Pantai hosp during lunch time just now with Denn. We chit chat for a while, and suddenly the topic i fear most came up; working life in TM.
I came to realise that reason why there are so many internal probs and wrong perception on TM is because of the employees themselves. We complain we are underpaid. We compare the treatment we get with the competitors. We do not want to work overtime cos we don't get paid OT. We do not want to this we do not what to that. We kept asking what the company doesnt give us enough. Why arent we asking what we can give to the company?
MONEY!
That wraps it up. We are so-called underpaid. we execs dont enjoy OT despite working till late at night and during the weekends. Majority of the employees are not working for the good sake of the company and its business..but just for individual needs...money. I know you'll be like "what the hell are you talking about aina??? u r underpaid urself. n u complain that too!" . well yeah! but if we only complain and do nothing about it, will the situation ever change??
It has to start somewhere. If you start believing that you can make a difference by being less self-centred and think more towards the benefits of the company with your work...and if everyone in TM starts thinking that way...wouldnt things be different?
I've been working with McGirvan Media agency for weeks now. And i sincerely solute them. When they say "yes ill deliver it tomorrow", they keep to their words. and the quality of the work is still top notch despite the tight dateline! ofcourse behind the scene there will be cursing from the staff for late notice n this and that...but it is the outcome that matters at the end of the day.
We complain we dont get to stay in 5-star hotels when we travel for work. But are you working to the level of a 5 star-employee? Exactly! Instead you look at the clock every 10mins to see what time you cna go back. And when it's only 5.15, you are already packing and waiting in front the elevator to go back. Question yourself back. Put money aside! Cos money comes with attitude. and it starts from you yourself. Dont expect others to change and improve if you refuse to.
So work for money or work for career? Your pick. You not only decide your future, but the rest too..!
Peace

Ramadhan is finally back.
Tomorrow, 15th Sept will be 1 year since I started working in TM! Gosh...how fast time flies.
I also finally got transfered to Brand, Advertising and Media, Group Marketing department after such a long wait. Although I was supposed to be in A&P, last minute they placed me in Brand instead since the AM and Manager left. Loads of work, but I'll eventually get the hang of it. :) 1st week was tough ..esp to adjust to the environment which the opposite of Global Business.
Anyways, how do you define fasting? Starve yourself from eating from 5.50am - 7.15pm and then feast till you can walk no more? Or a month of awesome food all round Malaysia? or a month where you go for extra prayers at night? Or the month where you can make excuses to skip work or classes cos u r lack of energy?
Through my observation, this is how the culture is now. No one really cares the real reasons to fasting. All they think about is, starve, then eat, then after a month...celebrate for a whole month while earning/giving money at the same time! What kind of culture is this?
Ramadhan is such a wholly month. it's the month where you get to gather with everyone to pray tarawih together. Not something u can do in other months! only once a year. It's a month of get-together for me. you starve urself not just from food, but from doing things u r not supposed to. in a way to train u to be better.
So how do you live your Ramadhan?

For the newbies to my blog, FYI..I write this blog not to impress or please anyone. I write what comes across my mind into words..thats all. I dont really care if anyone reads it. It's just a canvas that I paint..that happens to be online and be viewed by the public. So if you read, and you happen to not like it, many apologies from my side. Cos as sincere as the writings are, I wrote it for the most simple reason of all; thoughts into writing. :)
To those who appreciates it, thank you from the bottom of my heart. At least I know my thoughts are not just that voice that plays only in my head. ;)

I had a pretty awesome weekend! :D
Aze slept over last fri. Fetched her from work, and was trying to be smart with the roads that I end up going dunno where from Old Klang Road to KJ..and it took me more than an hour to reach home! Hahaha. Which I didnt really mind cos she was accompanying me. ;)
Anyways, would say it was one of the best sleepovers. Had those typical girl thingy...put on mask and watch DVD till 2am! Hahahaha. Ofcourse before that had an amazing dinner in Alamanda and watched the 5mins-fireworks. Blergh..was so hyped up about it..tgk2 its not the competition day. just display. no wonder Putrajaya wasnt so jam..
Went shopping on Sat. Aze claimed that she never shopped that much in 1 day before. oh well..welcome babeh! hahahahaha. Who ever who goes out shopping with me WILL shop a lot. :P ok..thats an early warning to the rest :P heehhe
I was pretty sad to drop her off that night. I mean..I only get to c her once a year man! :( Aze..go study cepat2..grad cepat2 and come back quick!!!! :P
Last night was pretty fun too. Fasted till got all dehydrated :P But bukak posa with Shana at a Thai restaurant in OU..which was like..gosh..SEDAP GILA! hahahaha. the green curry...oh my. so niceeeee. and then enjoyed chocolate brownies with ice cream from DELIcious :D nyammmm.
Even with that short trip I managed to persuade shana to buy something from Zara! Hahahahaha!
Oh well..so that was it. Nothing I could complain about the weekend. :)

It's sad to drive down the Federal Highway every morning, and only able to spot 1 or 2 flags waved on a car from thousands of cars!
Ppl question, what's so big deal about waving flags? I paid my taxes! I show ma patriotism that way! True. You are married. You wear your ring. You pay for home groceries every month. You are definitely showing your commitment in the relationship from that. So, why do you send flowers and cards and gifts on special occasions?
Paying taxes and keeping the town clean is not so much of a way to show ur appreciation to the country. It's your responsibility! Paying taxes is for your own future comfort. Keeping your town clean is also the same. When you go to dirty public toilet, how do you judge the condition? Dirty? Clean? You make the difference. If EACH and everyone take responsibility of their own doing, then the toilet wouldnt be freakingly dirty, now would it?
Anyways, put the toilet issue aside. What I'm trying to say is that, what's so difficult to wave a RM3 worth of flag on your car (or is it cheaper?) It's the SIMPLEST way to show how much you appreciate the effort the past soldiers and everyone else did to give independence to our country. Just imagine if they hadn't done that. Seriously. Take a pause and just think. Will you be enjoying what you do now? Will you even have the freedom u do now? How would our country be?
I'm proud to say, I'm more than proud to have my flag waved on my Perdana V6. I'm proud to be Malaysian. There's A LOT of rooms for improvements with the way our country works, but I'm proud of the accomplishment so far. Nothing is perfect in life. Even we at times (or maybe most of the time) can't manage our lives well. Imagine managing the country. There will always be someone to point out your mistakes.
Why buy flags and wave just for 1 occasion when you can spend that money elsewhere? Ok..let me ask you, why buy flowers that cost you hundreds of ringgit for a short-term affection, and it will just die within days? same reasons, right?
So just think of it. It's the simplest way of saying "thank you". and it's just once a year. :)
HAPPY 50TH MERDEKA MALAYSIA!

Lately, the trend is to get married at early 20s. When I first came to TM, I was surprised with the fact that most young adults I work with are married. I was stunned when I found out ma 2 colleagues, Kak Rowe and Kak Hani who looks like ma age has 2 - 3 kids in hands already!
Anyways, after 9 months in working life, I just came to realize that, at the end of the day, we women are the ones at the losing end. No no..hear me out.
Guys age like wine. The older they get, the 'better' their quality is. What about women? The opposite, aight? So for guys who marry young, the chances that they will leave their woman sooner or later when they 'age' is high. All because they think they r maturing, more established financially and everything else. So it is time for em to 'start' their 'life'. What do they need at that moment? Young, hot woman! (or women) Just look at the trend now. 40 - 60 year old men marrying 20+ women. Love or security?
So women who marry young majority, most probably will just end up left behind. At the end of the day, they turned old, be a single mother who has to carry loads of responsibility on her shoulders for her kids, her career and herself. Where as the guys get new, younger women, a sports car, and enjoy life as they wish. The thing is... its not that these guys r not loyal. Ask em. They will answer that they just want 'the best!' (of everything?)
So should women marry OLDER guys while they are young, and end up being 'single' later on with loads of cash in their pocket when they are old? Or marry young dude at young age and risk of ending up 'single' later on with loads of kids in their hands instead..oh n with limited cash??
p.s- ofcourse this doesnt apply to EVERYONE. but trust no one. not even urself.
peace

Monday was ok. Cos it was ma birthday. It went pretty well actually. Got up on the right side of the bed. Got loads of wishes. Had lunch at secret recipe with Denn and Izzati. Even though sick of their food already, but the company was nice. They even got the secret recipe manager to sing me a birthday song with a cake! Gosh! That was embarrassing :P Got presents from Izzati and Jack. Shafiq picked me up early. Got a new lappy. Had dinner at TGI Fridays. Gifted with a standing-teddy-cake from Shafiq's mom. Great great day!
But yesterday started to look a lil cloudy. Today's worst. With betty around, things don't get any better. I'm still stuck at ma old dept. Still havent received any letter from HR about ma transfer. It's so frustrating!!!!!
Aihh......
Hoping for a better tomorrow..

Nothing interesting happened this weekend. Planned to get my new notebook, but canceled it last minute since PC Fair is just a week away. But I had an awesome time playing bowling with 'Mr Smith', "Maggi Q', 'Victoria Beckham', and 'Tony Leong'!! Hahahahahhaa.
Aini stayed over this weekend too. N that says home-cook-food-babeh!!! I hardly cook when im alone anyways. But had awesome bbg at omar's last nite. As mommy would say; i was a cinderella since i left at 12am. :P
It's raining outside, since morning. Great weather to just laze around at home on the sofa watching tv and blogging! :D
Hope this week is a better one.
Happy Sunday ppl!
Cheers! :)

To be honest, I dunno what to write!! Hahahaha. But I feel like writing. How's that? It's a mix emotion. The week has been real crazy and hectic. At da same time I enjoyed it. How? I DONT KNOW!! Hahahahhaa.
Em..yeah. That's about it :P
Em..yeah. That's about it :P
I just came to realise that we humans don't really know how to say thank you and MEAN it. Nothing is ever enough. We go on searching till the very roots and at times even the roots are never enough. Why do we search for sthing we can't have?
Why is the career you love is not good enough to support your life? Why is the man who sincerely love you for who you are is not perfect enough for you? Why is nothing ever good enough??
Aren't all these just games in our heads? Why do we go for branded imported items than the local branded items? Why does everyone complain and do nothing about it?? Why Malaysians do great stuff and still end up not recognized?? Why do we question God when He told us not to? Why do we think everything and anything is possible within our tiny mind? Why do we break rules when we clearly know it's wrong? Why do we hurt ppl when we don't wanna be hurt? Why do we preach what we don't believe? Why do we ask when we refuse to answer?
Why do we do this? Ask yourself.

NO! It's not laziness! I haven't been blogging cos everytime I wanna blog, the lappy/pc will not be with me! :P :P ITS TRUE!!! Hmm...good excuse to get a PDA :P
Anyways, last week, I took 3 days leave cos ma parents came to stay with me in KJ. It was ma mom's first time in 2 and half years since she ever left Penang, and her first time to step into ma house. :D It took me a whole night and half a morning to clean and keep ma house neat for her, but the first thing she said when she sat at the dining chair was, "y so messy?" ... :| i guess ma neatness n tidiness doesn't live up to her standard :P
But what ever it is, I had a superbbb time with them! Even though we didnt go shopping in IKEA as ma dad promised, but the company at home was just awesome! My best moment was when it rainned damn heavily on Friday evening, that made all of us gather at da living hall, and look out at the beautiful yet stormy rain :D (cos Astro service got interrupted u c cos of the rain :P)
After 4 days, they left. And me? I cried that night! Hahahahahhaa! Cos I felt so lonely!!! The house felt so empty :P
Anyways, goin back home tomorrow night, I cant wait!!! :D
Love your family peeps!
Cheers!

If i can write and appreciate efforts from ma friends, i think it's just fair for my sis to receive the recognition too.
For the past 2 weeks, I was on MC for a week, an leave on 2 days. I couldn't drive nor eat properly cos of ma right hand (read prev posts). So ma kind lil sis stayed at ma place for 2 weeks to take care of me. From dishes to ironing to medicine to driving. She will send me off to work in the morn (since Denn wasnt around), and then head off to Gombak for class and later fetch me back at 5.30pm. How great is that??
I have to admit, because she was ma sis, i took a lil forgranted of her :P. Sometimes ill be too lazy to even get up to get a glass of water. But i know ill get one by just doing ma baby voice. :D Hehehe. Sorry babe!!!
But the weeks was awesome. It couldnt end in a better way. We ended it with a trip to Langkawi for vacation and it was really fun! :D
So from the bottom of ma heart, thank you ma lil sister who is ma awesome angel guardian. :) HUGS!

I think it is time for us Malaysians, specifically Malays to revamp our mentality!
I know ma friends out there are so gonna laugh at me for discussing this topic, but ey..try to see the point im tryin to point out ok!
I watch AF this year. Yes yes..SURPRISE! *rolling eyes* Anyways, for 6 weeks, the first 2 positions were dominated by 2 students; aizat and dafi..who are both out now. Aizat could sing most genres. Dafi's skilss are pretty limited but his advantage was his look. But what happened? why are they both out when everyone predicted that they will definitely be in the finals?? What was Malaysians thinking? Were they voting based on vocals or personality or family background?
After reading Utusan newspaper just now, I came to know that both of them are from so-called-wealthy family, simply cos their fathers are both "Datuk"s. What's the big deal? Seriously. I dont understand why community judge Datuk's family members as if they are spoilt and dont deserve to win sthing on their own just because their family can afford that for them. Ey, hello...open ur eyes and mind pls! The datuk here is the father, not them! Give them a chance to work their way up on their own! And by the way for u numb nuts out there, Datuk-ship doesnt come with a RM1million cheque; just if u were wondering.
I think its time that we Malaysians revamp the way we think. Stop judging ppl based on their background. So what if they come from a wealthy family or not. As the Muslims say it, "if memang rezeki, tak lari ke mana". If God had planned that for u, dont worry, it yours, as long as u work hard and dont give up! Nothing comes easily. Those datuks..do you think they got that title one shiny day and it just fell from the sky? No! Everything is hard work.
And to those of you who are freakingly spoilt and just happen to be 'VIP's kids..cut it out! You are ruining the good name of others too.
And Malaysians...lets think of quality.
Cheers!
I know ma friends out there are so gonna laugh at me for discussing this topic, but ey..try to see the point im tryin to point out ok!
I watch AF this year. Yes yes..SURPRISE! *rolling eyes* Anyways, for 6 weeks, the first 2 positions were dominated by 2 students; aizat and dafi..who are both out now. Aizat could sing most genres. Dafi's skilss are pretty limited but his advantage was his look. But what happened? why are they both out when everyone predicted that they will definitely be in the finals?? What was Malaysians thinking? Were they voting based on vocals or personality or family background?
After reading Utusan newspaper just now, I came to know that both of them are from so-called-wealthy family, simply cos their fathers are both "Datuk"s. What's the big deal? Seriously. I dont understand why community judge Datuk's family members as if they are spoilt and dont deserve to win sthing on their own just because their family can afford that for them. Ey, hello...open ur eyes and mind pls! The datuk here is the father, not them! Give them a chance to work their way up on their own! And by the way for u numb nuts out there, Datuk-ship doesnt come with a RM1million cheque; just if u were wondering.
I think its time that we Malaysians revamp the way we think. Stop judging ppl based on their background. So what if they come from a wealthy family or not. As the Muslims say it, "if memang rezeki, tak lari ke mana". If God had planned that for u, dont worry, it yours, as long as u work hard and dont give up! Nothing comes easily. Those datuks..do you think they got that title one shiny day and it just fell from the sky? No! Everything is hard work.

After 3 visit to the clinic, and 2 visits to da hospital specialist from Pantai and Subang Med Centre..baru la dapat mengesan what the heck is wrong with ma right hand.
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is the most common injury in patients seeking medical attention with the complaint of elbow pain. Exactly what causes tennis elbow is unknown, but it is thought to be due to small tears of the tendons that attach the muscles of the forearm to the arm bone at the elbow joint.
The muscle group involved, the wrist extensors, function to cock the wrist back. Specifically, the extensor carpi radialis brevis, has been implicated in causing the symptoms of tennis elbow.
Thats what I have. Ma hand still hurts..but it was said to continue hurting just for the next 5 days. If continues, then I should go back to the doc lah. Kena inject!!! Damn sakit! Blue black terus :P
So jaga la ur hands properly. Things can happen anytime, anywhere.

I was taken care of by an angel yesterday. Who would think, this crazy friend of mine that I just knew for the past 7 months would take care of me like I'm family?? Those who have given me that kindda treatment consist of ma family members n very very close friends only. So i guess Izzati..u fall into that category :)
She HATES doing dishes..like me la. Tp yesterday, she not only COOKED dinner for me; which by the way was SUPERB..i tambah 5 kali tuh!!!..she even did the dishes!! no wait..thats not all, she even ironed ma office attire this morning! letak ubat n bandage ma wrist semua.
so from the bottom of ma heart..thank u very much izzati!
n for those who judge her, u guys seriously kena get to know her. what an amazing friend she is! :)

Old news..i went to Sarawak last week..for the very first timmeeee! But i went on work purposes, so i didnt get to explore much except shopping at water front n short visits to the cat statues around Kuching.
First thing I said after 5mins drive in the cab after landing in Kuching.."Apesal nampak macam Subang je??" Hahahahahahhaahaa!!
I didnt really see the whole beauty ppl been talking about Kuching..cos seriously it looked like any other tows in Semenanjung that ive been to. But one thing that made it different..the PEOPLE.
I was there for 3 days..and I enjoyed all the conversations I had with the Sarawakians there. It doesnt matter la if they r TM employees, or the bellboy..or the shop keeper or cab driver..they r seriously very friendly! They welcome you and treat you like you are a friend. :) I was so comfortable with this girl from a souvenir shop that I decided to buy most of the souvenirs from her! :D
I would definetely go to Sarawak again..but maybe not Kuching town area..rural a lil so I can appreciate and experience the beauty and nature in Sarawak that has been its specialty for ever!

Everyday is a learning process. If you don't believe that, sit down in a quiet place, calm yourself down, then think of the days that has passed. It's nearly 7pm, and I'm still in the office, waiting for Shafiq to fetch me back. I'm done with my TM work, my freelance work, so I have the time to think and write ma blog la :D hehe
Yesterday, I had another emotional roller coaster. I don't wanna elaborate on it but all I can think of is that I'm glad I handled it pretty well and managed to find solution to it.
Rule no. 1, do not just complain with no actions to support it. If you pour your broken heart to someone for DAYS pun..and you dont do anything to mend it besides that, it will still be broken and you will feel like shit even longer than you should.
That's just an example la of course.
Like today, I attended a 2 hour meeting. Pok pek pok pek..this and that..at the end of the day, it was just a plain discussion of complains..no solution! Why? cos no focus!
So focus on your life. Everyday is a learning process. Just because today is a lousy day..and u feel like its the end of your life, tomorrow might be a bright sunny day instead. Of course you can't just sit and wait for good things to fall into your laps. Work it!
I'm glad I took the risk to ma solution yesterday. I'm glad the other party is co-operative. I'm very glad that God at the end of the day, calm me down. :)
I laugh thinking of how lousy i treated myself and my close friends just because I couldnt control ma emotion when it got out of hand for a while. It was stupid! Who else can control you if not yourself? Don't let others control you! You are the owner of yourself!
I learn today that I'm stronger than I think I am. I learn that I learn from the past. And I learn that, it is ok to be stupid at times, as long as you learn why u it happened and not to repeat it. :)
What have you learned today?

Arhhh! I hate it when ma emotion is beyond ma control! How is that even possible weih?? If im not controlling it..then who is??
I realized ma biggest weakness ever!!! All this while I thought I'm not it..but I guess I am after all. I trust ppl too easily! As an advertiser, I among all should know better that you can never trust words per say. But I dunno why I do! Not on advertisings, but word of mouth. Not just from any mouth, but from friends. Even if I doubt your words, at the end of the day I might just accept it. WHY??? I am either that or I can be the total opposite; what ever comes out of your mouth are questioned. Especially when it involves feelings. What is wrong with me???
Hopefully I think I'm all that plainly cos I'm emotional right now..huhuhu. :(

First impression people have on me (from what they say of course) is 'sombong'. Haha...I cant blame em for feeling that way actually. :P I'm the least friendly person u've ever met! If u dont approach me, most probably u wont hear it from me. But then again, to clear the air, it's not cos im sombong or think highly about myself. It's plainly because im SHY! (stop laughing!!!!) Even though its embarrassing to admit it, but it's true!
Anyways, other than that, ppl usually paint the picture that i'm an independent, a leader, strong and opinionated girl. Ermm...i won't deny totally. I do consider myself independent at times, but I can also be very dependent, and I find that as a weakness. I have an obsession to get things right, that's why at the end of the day i end up being the leader :P Erm..strong? Verbally maybe. Hahahahaha! Oh i'm full of theories and metaphors so i agree that im opinionated.
But what your might not know is that, i can be the most pampered and spoilt girl ever..EVER! hahahahaha! I will say i'm ma dad's favourite, it's pretty obvious and ma mom agrees. :P Ma sis calls him 'papa or abah' ma bro calls him 'papa'. i call him 'dadddddyyyyyy!" You get what i mean now dont u? ;)
Ma colleagues might not agree with this, but some ppl actually find me VERY funny. Ask ma sis and her friends. I hate bimbos..but imitating em often had turned me into 1 too at times! Shafiq and Aini would totally agree to that :P
To most people, Im the innocent, naive girl. To ma sis im a pervert! Hahahahahahhaaha!
So i guess it's not so much about split personality. It's just how you are with who you are comfortable with.
Even though my sister is younger than me, she calls me 'baby' cos im manja. She holds ma hand when we shop. But in the office, ma colleague Izzati actually calls me 'mummy'!
I think the only one who sees all side of me will be Shafiq. :)
So it's ok to have many characters, as long as all of it is YOU and not anyone else. :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......finally...finally!!!! I can finally call ma house a home! :D
The sofa i ordered a week ago finally reached 2 days ago. GORGEOUS! Got it for a pretty good deal, and it looks double the price i paid! :D
Went to IKEA last night to shop for some floor lamp, drawers and such to beautify ma home :)
Hoh...i just love ma place so much!! Can't wait to get the frames of beautiful photographs shot by shafiq up on the wall :D

Hohoho, i never thought that one day I will have difficulties translating "legend" in Malay!!
Today I was asked to translate a short paragraph from English to Malay. And then I realized, me...the best BM student in high school had lost the language skill i once proud of! Ma mind is so rusty! It took me more than 15mins to translate..and I wasn't even that confident about the result cos i knew i could do better.
Lack of practice. Lately been writing and communicating most of the time in English..ini la jadinya. :P Jangan lupa jati diri sudah :P hehehehe
So if you want me to translate Malay to English..buzz me anytime. But if English to Malay..emm..dont worry..I'll get ma mom's (who is a superb bm teacher) help
hehehehe

Hasty wind…
United fate with time
To decide the ending
Of this forbidden journey
Parch petals on the ground
Dehydrated well left unattended
Feelings changed
In a blink of an eye...
Anticipated
Expected
But was this what we wanted?
The knight I once knew
Turned out to be just another fighter…
Nothing special…
At least not anymore
Turned out to be
Just another battle
My admiration flew away
My faith ran away
Our journey have changed
Different ships
Different routes
If only I could still see
The old shadow that accompanied me
Left me smiling
At the window…
In my heart…
Even in my dreams
The old you
That I knew
Vanished in the thin new air
Not you
That I wish
It is your shadow
That I miss...

Today i had lunch in Mid Valley with ma awesome bestfriend Eeleng. First time driving to MidV alone...n freaking lazy to park..so i spent 8bucks for jockey parking instead :P what a brat!
Anyways, it has been quite some time since the last time i met her. Miss ya babe!!!
Being the talkative gals that we are, we didnt give a minute of break to fill each other with what has been happening with each other's life.
Ma point of writing this blog was that...since today is V-day (yes Muslims do not celebrate it)..love is so filling the air n all...i just wanna share some insights this thing call love. (hahaha i sounded like an expert la pulak :P)
Love. Infatuation. Crush. Everything is related to this thing called FEELINGS. Feelings can be helpful and a bitch too at the same time. Trust me..i know! When you are not able to control your feelings..it might just lead u to trouble. But if you take ur intuition as a sign to avoid from doin something stupid, feelings will be considered as helpful. If you know how to express your feelings right, you might just brighten another soul's day.
My dearest friend just got out of a relationship a few months back. Not surprisingly, she's still not over it. Wanna know why? There were no proper closure. By saying so, closure is not a figure of speech of "I think our relationship has come to an end." or "I think its better we stay friends." or "I've found someone else. Im sorry".
No. Those statements are NOT closure to a relationship.
Always consider the POST-breakup. Cos that's the hardest part. I came to realize that, after breaking up, the only way to move on and get that CLOSURE is to know if what u were feeling at that moment of post breakup is being felt by ur ex too. Am i right? Just stop and think. When you breakup with someone, wether it was just a crush thing...or a 4 months relationship..or 4 years relationship...u will always think.. "Does he/she misses me?" "how is he/she feeling about it"
All you've got to know to move on was that. For eg....I know ma dear friend will be able to move on stronger if she knew what her ex were thinking or feeling about the whole thing, wether its the same as hers or not. In that way, she will know for sure if there's hope for them to re-unite, or turn friends or permanent break off where they hate each other. It sucks u know..after a break up..missing someone else. But it will hurt less if u know he/she is actually feeling the same way..hurting or suffering the same as u r. if he/she is not also, u will still be able to move on easily as ull know for sure what u meant to them.
So my suggestions to the couples who just ended their relationship, it is ok to tell ur partner that u do think of her/him even after u decided to end it. By saying so, this has to come from the party who DECIDED to end it, not the victim. Trust me, it will help them move on ;) If you think you dont have the guts to tell that yourself, get someone to do it for you. OR..there's this phrase "action speaks louder than words"? :P Keep it mild.
(however, do not LIE just to make them feel better. I dunno if it that works for u, but i would totally not appreciate that la. take note of that future heart breakers! :p)
Good luck!

You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
Do you realize that? I was sitting in Winter Warmers for lunch with ma sis, and then it hit me that, language is sexist! Being a student of English language and Literature her self, she admits that it's very true.
Ok. I may know little about this, and my example might seem shallow, but bare with me as i have a point to make. :p
Have you noticed that many labels ends with 'man'? Example, fireman..policeman? Maybe long time ago, no women were them, but the generations have changed. Why cant the language evolve too? Ma sis said that most of them now prefer to address it as "fire fighter" or "police officers" to generic the title.
Another good example, "bitch", "slut" and many many more. Why are curses revolve around women? "Mother f....". Why?? Why cant it be "Father f..."? Why are there no terms for guys as bitches or sluts? Is it because it is ok for them to do what so ever they want, but if women do it they are being labeled such way? Come on...thats just not fair!
We are in a very modern age now. We either should DROP all the name calling or equalized it by creating specific ones for guys too! hahahahaha

Ive been wanting to write something on ma blog for dayssss! But i never get to decide on 1 specific topic as there are so many things in ma head.
But after reading on "Student conned of RM 4800" in The Star, I finally decided to write on it.
1st rule in life. There is NO such thing as EASY money. You have to WORK to earn money. Yeah yeah you smarty pants! If you are gonna throw the "I get moneh easily from ma parents..no hard work what so ever" in ma face, keep in mind your parents are the one who has to WORK HARD to earn that for u. Bottom line, it doesn't come easily. And if it does, there must be a catch somewhere.
Vanessa Lee was conned by a legitimate corporation from Macao, saying that she won RM160,000 just by answering a question through a phone call she received days before that. The trick? Pay 3% of the amount, supposedly said as a rule by the bank, before she can receive her prize. Convinced by a friend from Macao who confirmed that it is a legitimate corporation and that her name is indeed mentioned on the corporation's website as a winner, she finally paid em that, just to find out later on that she has to sign up as a member, which cost RM 60k or they will forfeit the prize!
See...told you. There's no such thing as easy or free money in life.
My rule towards business; the best business is to start with 0 modal. Thinking I'm crazy? Maybe you should start reading more :P
And I'm never persuaded or convinced by people who starts a conversation on business with "you will get this much of $$$!" Business is not just about the revenue u get. Its also about the passion, and the hard work..the product, the process and what not! Yes at the end of the day, you want to be earning out of it. But if you only concentrate on that issue, you will never enjoy the process or appreciate it and you will fall HARD if your business fails.
So to you people out there who get calls or emails or what not about such thing..like "my very rich father passed away and he told me to donate my money to a Malaysian" kindda thing..or "answer a question and you might just enjoy shopping in DKNY with RM 60,000 worth of prize!" crap...pls use ur common sense before you jump off your seat excitedly.
And if you were to start a business, get 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions from people who have experienced business world. Dont ask your potential boss ofcourse. Ask others, neutral people. No buyers. So you will know what you will face later on. Dont be blinded by the $$$, but see it in a big picture.
Good luck!
Cheers!
But after reading on "Student conned of RM 4800" in The Star, I finally decided to write on it.
1st rule in life. There is NO such thing as EASY money. You have to WORK to earn money. Yeah yeah you smarty pants! If you are gonna throw the "I get moneh easily from ma parents..no hard work what so ever" in ma face, keep in mind your parents are the one who has to WORK HARD to earn that for u. Bottom line, it doesn't come easily. And if it does, there must be a catch somewhere.
Vanessa Lee was conned by a legitimate corporation from Macao, saying that she won RM160,000 just by answering a question through a phone call she received days before that. The trick? Pay 3% of the amount, supposedly said as a rule by the bank, before she can receive her prize. Convinced by a friend from Macao who confirmed that it is a legitimate corporation and that her name is indeed mentioned on the corporation's website as a winner, she finally paid em that, just to find out later on that she has to sign up as a member, which cost RM 60k or they will forfeit the prize!
See...told you. There's no such thing as easy or free money in life.
My rule towards business; the best business is to start with 0 modal. Thinking I'm crazy? Maybe you should start reading more :P
And I'm never persuaded or convinced by people who starts a conversation on business with "you will get this much of $$$!" Business is not just about the revenue u get. Its also about the passion, and the hard work..the product, the process and what not! Yes at the end of the day, you want to be earning out of it. But if you only concentrate on that issue, you will never enjoy the process or appreciate it and you will fall HARD if your business fails.

Gentleman is defined as a man of refinement. Those men i had lunch with were no where near there!!!
We arrived at our lunch table for 13 heads in Hilton PJ after more than 30mins of waiting for the guys. Dah la tak punctual!! The 'best' part, was when everyone who was sitted trying to decide who should go get their food first.
"Ladies first.." says the guys..
Tp before we gals could even get our asses off the chair..we turned and look at the other end of the table..n the guys were all GONE! So-called gentlemen!!!!
But the super best part of the lunch trip was the 2 SUPER-COOL-'AUNTIES'!!!! actually..they r not aunties la...older than me by 6 years je :P hehehe
But these 2 babes are the coolest chickas ever man!!! Even though they are married...they r just..so cool lah! You gotta hang around with em..then u'll know what i mean. :D loud, noisy, friendly, makan banyak, smart, everything la..all in 1! :D U guys r the best la Nurul & Aisha!
Thanx ladies! Had a super great time..not just cos the food was awesome..but u guys were too!! :D

I have an unbearable weakness. I cant look and watch my beloved ones or friends in trouble or in pain or sad. But, I don't know how to help! People say that, sometimes the company is more than enough. How far is that true?
I think I inherited this from ma dad. He is a guy that LOVES to help others. I guess that's y God loves him so much. I think he holds on to the concept where what goes around comes around. When you help someone, God will help you too. :) I'll be more than lucky if I inherited at least 1/10 of that lovely character of his.
But due to human nature, most people take advantage/for granted of others if that person is kind and understanding towards em. Isn't it true? I maself have came across people who treated me such way when I'm a little nice to them. Y? Please...appreciate the extra attention you get from someone. Do not take ppl for granted. You are lucky you know to get that special treatment!
Anyways, writing this blog cos one of ma dear friend is a lil tensed up with his work. I do hope that you are aware that there's solution around the corner, its just a matter of approaching it at the right time with the right support and luck. :)
Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Believe in yourself ;)

Today, I received a call from my lecturer/associate dean from MMU. "Your interview is on the 16th of February. Are you still interested?"
Sometimes it's hard when you have options to pick from in life. When I first came to TM, I didn't have many choices. I was placed in Sales in Kedah. But since I made early preparation and moved to KL, I worked ma ass off to get placement here in KL during ma 1st 3 days as a working adult. Finally got a placement in Global Business, Product Marketing, in TM HQ..in Menara TM.
It's ma 4th month here now. I'm finally..slowly getting the grip about ma work. I'm even gonna take tuition classes with ma boss starting next month ..every friday after work..just so I can get better understanding and learn faster. Surprisingly, even though most of the time I'm considered a fast learner, I'm not in Global Business. I'm doing numbers and accounts..and queries..and the worst..BILLING! I'm not interested in ANY!
The call I received today seems to be God's answer to ma prayers, of hoping to be able to work with sthing Im good at and have passion in. But, it means leaving TM. Can i do that?
People who knows me well will know I'll pick formal dinner against party. I can be considered quite formal. I enjoy dressing up in white collar to work. But ofcourse that doesnt mean Ive forgotten ma faided jeans and my should-get-a-new-pair-of-shoe-already Converse shoe. :P
I love the working environment here. Despite the fact that im doin sthing i didnt learn for the past 4 years, or even anything Im interested with...i find it challenging, in a good way. Because, I believe that behind every cloud, there's a silver lining. Im learning about the other perspective of a business organization that others dont see. Its difficult ofcourse, but its a learning process. I'm not saying I love it. But, I think I can go through it. I take it as a challenge to prove to maself that I can not only survive doing what i dont enjoy doing, but be really good with it. And the potential for me to rise up is higher here.
But at the same time, I would love to be doing sthing im good at, and have deep passion in. Branding. MMU can offer me that. I can teach and pass my knowledge about sthing I love to the next generation. But..where else can I go after becoming a lecturer? Ass. dean? Dean? Then? I feel like ..its a secured job for someone who just love it the way it is. I dont want to see my days as a routine..
But, there are so many things to consider to make this decision...too many that it aches ma head and heart to think. What should I do? Should I leave TM and be a tutor in MMU or stay on in TM and work in a field I dont enjoy in.
I have 3 weeks to decide the choice of ma life...

I always had this thing for metaphor and such. But it never crossed ma mind that a book..or specifically the book you hold and read tells your character!
Ma boss said that she assumed that I am from a wealthy background based on the book I brought and read on ma first day here in TM. When she told me that..i was like "WHAT???" Yeah i know what you are wondering..what could the book be? It wasn't like I was reading "How to manage your overloaded money". I was reading on branding! A branding book..with a super twisted cover which might lead you to think it's somewhat a SCARY storybook! :P
Then it lead me to wonder even deeper into this. It's actually true you know. You are what you read. It shows your character. It actually builds your character too! If you research those gossipers, i bet you will find LOTSSS of tabloids on their book shelf. :P Walk into any CEO office, and just browse through the books on his shelf. You will know what made him what he is.
So, last night before I shut ma eyes to bed..I was just thinking about my case. Every month i spend moneh on CLEO, Herworld, Female, Businessweek, Hot, F1 magazine, The Edge, T3. Ma books are dominated by 'design genre'. I have a handful on Islam, and some on psychology.
So what am I?

You know...sometimes when we see a guy..tough..n he looks like he can carry a building with just one finger, always manage to blend in with any type of community, laugh out loud at jokes on himself..we forget that behind those so called macho characters, he has a lil boy inside him. We over-looked the fact that he has feelings..just like us gals..n sometimes get sensitive about things..
Hands down, I can be sucky with identifying if ive offended a guy friend or not with what i say or do. Its different with gals. There are rules to what u can tease em about n such. But with guys, we usually assume that we can say anything cos they r 'cool'! But we forget that just like us gals, they are not just a bunch of blocks...they also come in different shapes n sizes.
So where should the limit be? Would love to get your opinion ;)
Cheers!

Its so shameful to see how so many of us now a days have forgotten their roots. It's even much more shameful to know that there's that torn among ma roses friends!
I believe that we humans are all the same. Forget the skin colour cos at this age of time, we have dark chinese, fair malays n indians..mix here mix there. No certainty between religion and race either. There are muslim chinese, christian indians n so on. But one certainty is the culture. And thats the beauty we earn for being a specific race. The best part is we get to share it with other races too...just like Malaysians does.
So y are there ppl who still doesnt know how to appreciate their own culture. Instead, they are ashame of it!! What a waste!! I was watching a new TV show on 8tv yesterday, Trippin' hosted by Reena. Its so interesting to see em learning about Mah Mari(did i get that right?). Its an art of wood carving. Im not sure where it is really cos I only saw the last part, but its just an hour drive away from KL. But guess what?? No Malaysians have written anything about it. The only book about Mah Mari was written by a German!
I was shocked..and surprised..and ashamed..n even angry yesterday after being told about a friend..who looks down on her own culture! What is wrong with wearing baju kurung?? Does it mean u r backdated or conservative or as malay would put it, 'kuno'?? She said that she doesnt want to work in a malay company because she doesnt want to be a TYPICAL MALAY who works from 8-5 and wears BAJU KURUNG everyday! What the....???? Its an insult to even label TYPICAL MALAYS as that..
First of all....YOU are the one with the backdated mind, missy. Your mind is so shallow and u r judging others based on such a long- gone- culture in Malaysia. No one here works from 8-5 everyday! You should come here and see it for urself! There are ppl who work till 9-10pm at night..and who sacrifices their weekends too and sometimes even public hols!
It comes back to the individual. It is YOU yourself that create ur work culture. Not others. You can work in a malay or chinese or global company...and u r what u r. So dont blame the BAJU KURUNG..or the TYPICAL MALAY attitude to make excuses. It is YOU.
So my advice to everyone out there, appreciate what and who u r. Thats what makes you YOU. Just because u grew up or studied in overseas, doesnt mean u r someone else. If you are a Malay girl..u will be till u die. So dont be a copy-cat and or a fake! Learn to learn about your own culture..love your language. If you can learn western's why cant you learn your own?
Do not forget your roots. You are a lost soul without ur roots
Peace

After Aidiladha's celebration...ive been thinking a lot about the meaning behind the word 'sacrifice'. It's so subjective and in a way..it makes me think..what have i sacrificed so far..and what im about to in the future.
Since I was lil...ive always LOVEDDD fashion...im still very much in love with it. That is y i dont mind spending hundreds of bucks on just a working pants. It's not just about the brand..but the quality it carries with it. I wont buy 300bucks worth of khakis from CK that looks like it can be found in Padini for just 79bucks. Ma mom always reminds me that..what ever u buy..make sure it looks the price u paid for it if not more. So obviously..im more than willing to sacrifice ma MONEH for ma image.
But what most ..or should i say all of u..dont know is that..ive always wanted to be a fashion designer. :)
When i was younger..i had a notebook where ill sketch my clothing line. Im not sure if the notebook is still around..but yeah..i had that magical book. Ofcourse it looked like a 7 year old art work..but it was full of passion. Even till today..i still have that passion in me. I love modern fashion sense but with a touch of english taste here n there. Unfortunately, i had to sacrifice that dream..cos of ma religion. I admit im not the best muslim uve ever met, not the most conservative one..or the best dressed muslim...but i try to stay in line with at least the basic rules and understanding of Islam.
I'm not saying as a muslim u cant be a fashion designer. ofcourse u can. the beauty of islam is that it doesnt stop u from doin things u wanna do..as long as u follow the guidelines God has provided. however, due to influences of our world culture..im into ..how do i put it..emm..more modern, less conservative..GLOBAL outfits..where it can be 'physical'. hahahahahhaa..er..yeah. :D still blur? ok..halter necks..shorts..low waist pants. :P
To the none muslims that are wondering y its againts Islam..reasons y are because..when u create sthing that's wrong in islam..eventho its not for urself..it is still wrong..n thats not just it...u will also later on have to carry the burden of the sins of those who wears/uses ur creations. Eg. drugs. Im not taking em..but im selling em. Its still wrong cos u r encouraging it.
Anyways, im settling down with the fact that those type of outfits are just for ma knowledge. hehehehe. But ma interest in fashion remains the same. It hasnt minimized or anything. Im still very updated with whats new n whats not. (though im not so much a trend follower...if its the flower season..i wont wear flowers :P i dont like to blend with the crowds)
So..thats one of ma very very small unknown (or now known :p) sacrifice. :D But i believe with every sacrifices, comes opportunities. Ive learn to fall in love with branding and advertising..a field im good in and definitly will be able to work with.
Never be afraid to sacrifice..cos ull never know what's awaiting u

HAPPY NEW YEAR~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So..what's so great about 'new year' celebration? This year in Malaysia, we dont have official/formal new year celebration to respect the Aidiladha celebratrion and also the victims of the flood incidents in South Malaysia.
For me, personally, new year is just another year..any other year..the differences are in the number and yourself. 2006..to 2007..just add another digit at the end. That is all. The most important thing is youself. Everyday can be a new year if you learn from mistakes and past experience and change to be better. The whole 'enter into a new no. of year -officially' is just a culture of life. It will remain the same..n no changes if you urself dont do anything about it.
New year..new life. You start another phase of your life. But, y are ppl 'celebrating' it by getting drunk and over-partying till at some point they r not themselves? It's just so sad how ppl define 'new year celebration' so shallowly. You make new year's resolution n such...but u start ur new year in such manner.
Think about it...
I think the best way is to thank God first! Cos He gave us a chance to live another year. Next is to be with your loved ones :)
Happy New Year!
