Bangi

I always like B*ndar B*ru B*ngi..

Eventhough it's leasehold, BBB is always in our list..

Anyway, houses there are selling like pisang goreng panas.. Called the agent for the house advertised yesterday, the same answer received.. Booked!

In some way, it's scary.. People are so afraid of the insane price of property nowadays, it seems like everyone just grab anything which for them is a good bargain now.

You can't get a presentable double storey house below RM300K in BBB anymore.

Had a chat with an agent last night. And he gave us his piece of mind:

BBB is a good investment. Renting the property won't be a problem too. Average rent for a double storey is RM1K. So don't think 18 times when you saw one that attracts you. Letting go means someone else will take the house.

B*ndar B*ru S*lak T*nggi is for long time staying. If you are thinking of selling it in 5 years time, the price won't increase much because the development there is quite slow.

There is something not right about S*ujana P*chong he isn't telling but he said so many of them wants to sell their houses. You can get a big, nice corner house at the price of RM280K..

P*chong Ut*ma is freehold but the land area is small. 18x65 at the price of RM280K to RM300K.

Band*r Kinr*ra and Bandar B*kit Puch*ng is developing fast..

House price at B*ndar S*ri P*tra is increasing like crazy. Same like BBB, you can't no longer get RM300K for a double storey. G staff mostly bought there even though the toll costs you RM4.20 a day..

Buying at L*EP is quite risky because it's a well known abandoned project by T*lam Corp, bailed by IJ* Land. Some of the houses are showing problems now. So, be careful.

From our own observation:

D*sa P*nggiran P*tra is very expensive because it's the closes to Putrajaya and many bought there to stay for good.

Taman S*tera Kajang and P*ncak Utama Balakong are not bad too.. But there are so many factories nearby..

Went to S*ngai M*rab, the area is developing. There's a new rows of terrace house called Merab Persona. But it is not in a good area because the road is higher than the houses. The Semi-D there costs RM720K. Not liking the area, banyak sangat banglo besar tanah lot. Area tu macam untuk golongan pensioners. Amenities pun tak banyak.

We have 2 house appointments tomorrow.. We're started to get so tired from this house-hunting thing.. Praying hard that it'll be over soon..

And you can check the new Pekeliling Perbendaharaan Bil. 5 Tahun 2011 about G's house loan. For the pay we received now, we can get RM255K house loan. The problem is, is there a house selling at RM255K nowadays?

Btw, there's Pameran Hartanah Bumiputra from 7 to 9 Jan at Midvalley. So, let's go there..

It's 7th January 2011 and we are happily married for 17 months.. Alhamdulillah..

Till then..

Plans..

It's not too late to wish everyone Happy New Year, right? Happy New Year people!

New Year's Eve was spent sleeping but woke up a few seconds because of the fireworks then continued on sleeping.. Felt like an elderly couple..

New year, more plans to come.. I don't think it's lame to have new year's resolutions..

2010 was indeed a boring year for me, so I plan to give 2011 an exciting one..

At the end of last year, we fell in love with Bandar Seri Putra.. Yes, it's 30km to Putrajaya and almost 80km to KL but we love the neighbourhood so much.. It's nicely planned, it has school, suraus, KUIS is nearby and it's UML*nds. We went to UML*nd's sales gallery and asked for their upcoming projects nearby, the 450K terrace house is sold out and 2011's projects are clusters which starts at RM600K and Semi-Ds which starts at 700K.. *wipe sweats*

We have been to many areas 20-30km radius of Putrajaya and we want a freehold house so that it's easier to resell it, therefore it left us not much of a choice.. Kajang is just too hectic.. Freehold house in Puchong is either not in our range of budget or it's not worth the money because the build-up is so small..

And no, we haven't decided on the house yet.. Just the area for a start.. Hehe

For the passed month, we learned that in buying a house, we can never get everything we want. Of course, if we had hundreds of thousand in the bank account, we can just pick and choose any house. But we don't have that..

After sacrificing a lot through out the year being stingy and all, we are glad that we managed to focus on our most top priority. The traveling, the shoes, the bags, new gadgets, those can wait but the house, the longer we delay the higher the price will rise and the income we received won't make it to pay the monthly loan. Plus, a huge sum is needed for the down-payment, the legal fees, the stamping etc, etc. phewww

Second plan is get ourselves a baby. :) Firstly, we have to try the very best to breed our own, we'll go to the clinics, urut2an, medications modern, religious, homeopathy etc, etc.. And if it destined we can't get one, we'll adopt one. We are not getting any younger so we shall not waste more time.

Third is to shed 5 kgs. 5 kgs will do. I managed to retain my weight since April therefore in order to shed weight, I just have to do more activities OR to eat less and do more activities to make the plan achieved faster then I can make new plan later.. hehe

Fourth is to have beautiful skin and hair. I freaked out to see fine wrinkles near the eye and the hair isn't showing a healthy growth. I hate pimples and the black scars. So this year, I MUST dedicate myself a few minutes of 24 hours a day and a few days of 365 days a year for my beauty sake. I've started a new skin regime and so far, good signs are showing. Alhamdulillah..

Those are the 4 biggest plan for 2011..

Then I have a few 'small' resolutions like make full use of the daily book given by the G.. hehe

And of course, the MOST IMPORTANT one is to be a good ummah, wife, daughter, sister, friend and employee.. (Eh, the career went last.. hehe)

InsyaAllah..

Dream on..

Oh, I had the sweetest dream last night (even though I had trouble sleeping at first).. And I think I even had tears when I woke up.. If only the dream came true.. We'll just have to wait a few more days :)

Anyway, the 28 days period of 'confinement' is finally over. Yay, I can take leave again..

However, I don't think I'll be taking this 'second job' for long. February 5th 2011 marks the date of 4 years in service and I already filled in 'the form'. Receiving the email from HR is a bless and a relieve too.

So, she better start looking for a new candidate.. hehehe..


UPDATE:

Nope, it's negative..

Punishment

Currently, I have a huge ulcer at the back of my mouth near the throat.. I can't barely open my mouth to speak or even eat anything and my left cheek is swelling.. At night, I had trouble sleeping because it's very painful to swallow my own saliva.. Torture..

And I said, I must've done something to deserve this just a teeny weeny punishment from God but I'm glad that God still loves me and gave me this small misery as a reminder..

I remember having 8 ulcers at a time when I was wearing braces. Yes dear, 8 through out my mouth and tongue. Every time I wanted to eat or brush my teeth, I had to gargle warm salt water to numb the whole mouth. No wonder I shed kilos of weight during that 2 and 1/2 years of torture.

Anyway, from my own experience, warm salt water is the fastest cure for ulcer. Sometimes, I just put salt directly at the ulcer. Ah, imagine the pain and the tears..

Had 2 half cooked egg with a few dashes of black and cayenne pepper for breakfast and definitely broth or soup for lunch and dinner.. I miss solid food.. hehehe

Decision, decision

The phone kept on ringing.. From house agents..
I can't even keep track which agent with which house. Silly me. Maybe I should make a file for it. The organizer are filled with papers already.

The past few weeks were filled with house-hunting activities.. Went to see the houses after work which I think is the most appropriate time to go to that particular area during peak hours.

Got myself seduced with Apartment Anggun Bangi in Seksyen 4 BBB. A little bit expensive for just an Apartment, around 250K. But for investment purposes, why not? I'm sure once it is completed in 2012, the price might come to about 350K. There are a few units of type B still available if some of you are interested. No, I'm seduced with it but I didn't place my booking. Still having a war of mind about it.

Whatever it is, househunting is very tiring.. We can't wait to get ourselves The House. With the pace we're going right now, maybe we'll have one early next year. InsyaAllah. But no rest for the time being until we find one.

Well anyway, the houses occupied by tenants are usually dirty and not nice. Maybe, just maybe the tenant purposely did that as a protest because they were asked to leave the house in order for the owner to sell it. I think the owner should at least, vacant the house, clean it a little bit and only then classified it. Last Saturday, Ma and I went to have a look at a house in BBB, occupied by tenant. Euww, we went in there less than 5 mins. Leaking, very dirty, small but then 295K. Crazee..

Since we know that the house we're looking now may not be our last, we better find one with better prospect to resell it later on for us to buy a bigger house. That is the plan so far. However, those with good prospects are usually so near to town which result to traffic jam and that cannot be avoided.

Yesterday, we went to see a house in B*kit M*wah.. The interior is awesome. The owner bought the house, renovated it and wants to resell it at 320K. The price is out of our budget plus there are no surau or masjid nearby and the road in front the house is very narrow.

So far we don't want to combine our loan for some reason but the plan may change, we'll never know. And we can't buy something so expensive because our incomes won't make it to pay the monthly loan..

Due to this activity, I've abandoned my daily jog and the plan to lose some weight is postponed. Don't go asking other friend whether I'm pregnant or not because I'm just fat ok :D hehehe

2 in 1

Setiap hari, tengok barang best, tak jadi beli sebab nak simpan duit, nak beli rumah..

Sebulan sekali, tengok orang pergi merantau sana sini, tak dapat pergi.. Simpan duit, nak beli rumah..

Terngiang2: 10% deposit (3% booking 7% upon signing S&P).
Kalau takda cash di tangan pun susah tahu..

Oh, a'ah.. Sedang mencari rumah 2nd hand. Mana ada kawasan perumahan baru di sekitar 20km radius Putrajaya ni lagi yang kurang RM300K.. Kalau ada terjumpa, sila share, jangan kedekut..

*stress*

Cepat2 la dapat membeli rumah idaman dan saya boleh membelanja baki wang bulanan saya di hujung bulan tanpa rasa serba salah lagi..

Dan sering kali menyesal tidak membeli rumah 3 tahun++ lepas masa mula2 masuk kerja yang pada masa itu, rumah di kawasan idaman hanyalah RM160K dan sekarang dah mencecah RM300K berserta lumut, lalang dan pagar yang berkarat..

Sekarang sedang giat mencari rumah.. FB no more or jarang2.. Tiap kali bukak internet di rumah, laman2 web property yang menjadi tumpuan.. Setiap malam tengok update orang nak jual rumah..

Stress tahu nak mencari rumah ni..

Nak yang murah tapi burok dan dekat;

Nak yang mahal tapi cantik dan dekat; atau

Nak yang murah tapi cantik dan jauh?

Saya nak yang murah tapi dekat dan cantik.. Jawapannya: Tiada dalam senarai pencarian..


Nak rumah yang untuk tinggal sampai ada cucu; atau

rumah yang mungkin perlu disewa atau dijual (atas faktor kerja yang berisiko untuk diposting ke state lain)?

Kalau rumah tu confirm tinggal sampai tua, jauh sikit dari kemudahan pun ok lagi. Tapi kalau berisiko nak kena jual atau sewa, kenalah cari di kawasan yang ada kemudahan kedai, pengangkutan dll baru boleh kenakan harga yang tinggi sikit..


Kawan-kawan kata, gabung la loan, lepas tu beli rumah 450K..
---> Lepastu tiap hari makan makanan kurang zat demi membayar duit rumah bulan2. Alahai, pendapatan isi rumah kami masih belum mampu untuk rumah sebegitu mahal.


Membuat keputusan untuk komitmen 30 tahun ni sangat susah...

Research, research, research...


Kami dah dapat tawaran berpindah ke rumah teres di P11. Tapi kami tolak. Sebab bagi kami, bila kami pindah, haruslah ke rumah sendiri. Tinggal di apartment pun sudah memadai untuk 2 orang. Rumah itu pun sekadar persinggahan. Hanya ada perabot asas, tiada gantungan gambar di dinding, tiada bunga2an, tiada asteruk dan tiada mesin basuh.. hehe..


Tahun 2011, usia 27, saya mahu:
1. Jadi umat, isteri dan pekerja yang baik;
2. Rumah;
3. Anak (hehehe); dan
4. badan yang kurus..

Ayuh!


~Mama saya pada usia 27, sudah ada 2 rumah, 2 orang anak dan badan yang kurus.. Tak termampu teman nak kejor..

Work and play..

2010 is coming to an end.. Is it just me, or everyone else feels that this year moves extremely fast?

I was asked once again to cover somebody else's work. An officer who's now undergoing his 6++ month course.

Yeah, I will get paid. A quarter of his basic salary monthly.

However, it's not about the money, it's about the responsibility.

Now, I have more work to do..

So, why am I wasting my time blogging about it now??? Haha, see ya..

p/s: I can't take leave for 28 freaking days which ends on the 26th. Since I still have 20 days more leave this year, should I or should I not take a 5 day leave straight from 27th to 31st??

House-hunting

Looking for a house is exhausting.. We went up to Sg. Long and got lost in Semenyih yesterday.. At the end of the day, I suffered from severe migraine and dear husband had to skip his weekly badminton session in order to take care of me.. Thanx abang..

Coming back to house-hunting, the house price is skyrocketing like crazy. An ugly, dirty, 1400sqf house in Bandar Baru Bangi can reach up to 300K which was only 200K in year 2009. Since there is no more new area launched within 10km radius of Putrajaya, we had no choice but to opt for 2nd hands. But it is not cheap.. Plus, some needs major renovation which costs more money.

*sigh*

House-hunting needs us to do homework, research and calculations; the leasing, the area, the market value (in case we got transferred to other state and need to rent the house), the distance, the time consuming, the build-up, etc, etc, etc.. Whether it's the cheap but ugly 2nd hands without renovation, more expensive 2nd hand but with some furnishing and renovation, or Bukit Mahkota's or Seri Putra's which are a bit far but nice beautiful houses..

*head-ache*

How I wish I can skip all these things and buying a house is as easy as choosing a blouse.

A year occupying the quarters have costs us almost 5K. Quite a big sum for something we paid which is not going to be ours. We have to find our own house quickly but...carefully.

We can combine our govt loans and buy a 400K house for instance BUT... our monthly income can't afford to pay that much monthly or to cough-up a big chunk on down-payment.. And I can't finish up my savings, I need to have some in case of emergencies.. Plus, we have to think of the extra monthly expenses when we had kids later on.. Ah, so much to think about.. This is why I hate being an adult.. hehe

Anyway, as we were browsing through properties on auction's websites, we came across a house. The reserved price is so much cheaper from the the market price for a house in that area. Asking here and there about the procedures. Luckily we have a friend who is kindly enough to help. However, in order to join in the bidding, we need place a deposit of 10% of the reserved price. So I guess, it's time to use up part of my savings and the EPF money..

Then, we need to do some research on the house itself before the bidding day and we haven't even had a look on the house yet. We are familiar with the area but we don't know the condition of the house. What ever it is, this is our first experience about auction and bidding. I'm kinda excited. Even if we decided not to go for the bidding or lost on the bidding, this is a new knowledge to learn.

No more Putrajaya Seafood

Last Thursday, Sis Yana came to stay overnight at my house because Ma's flight from Australia will be arriving at 3.30 Friday morning. Therefore, KLIA is so much nearer from Putrajaya than from Selayang. So, that night we wanted to eat something different other than mamak restaurant or Thai food.

Since I never ate at Putrajaya Seafood Restaurant, I brought them there. And here is the bill..


"Titbits" was the kacang rebus they served while waiting for the food. RM7 for a very small portion. There was no napkins, so they gave us wet towel and again, it was charged.

The wet towel

The place looks rather exclusive. The panoramic view is nice. The food was tasty except that the portion is very2 small.

However, the Stir Fried Chicken Chilly with Cashewnut had more cashewnut than the chicken itself so I would like to recommend it to be renamed as Stir Fried Cashewnut with Chicken Chilli instead.

Anyway, we were kind of disappointed with one of the waiters (whom didn't even wear a nametag).

Our waiter that night was a bit rude and clumsy. When we wanted to order the vegies, he recommended baby kailan but we ordered something else and he responded, "Suka hatilah" with the face as if he's angry we didn't order baby kailan. In the end, the vegies didn't arrive at all and when we asked about it, he said he forgot to place the order to the cook and no remorse shown on his face. He spilled the tomyam while serving us, no "excuse me" while preparing the plate or while serving the food, main tolak2 je suruh kita ke tepi.

He hold the spoon at the bowl of the spoon instead of the handle. Which I think it was not hygienic at all. Same went with the bowl. He didn't carry a tray but he carried the 4 bowls with his fingers tercelup ke dalam mangkuk itu. (Boleh imagine kan macam mane??) Eeeuuuuwwww...
So this is what we get with the 10% service charge?? Waiter Kenny Roger's pun lagi proper la...

No thank you, we won't come again or recommend this to our friends....

Things to ponder

I haven't been a good friend and in fact, I haven't been a good daughter either since getting married. No, I'm not blaming on the married life, I'm just a bad time manager. Always procrastinating on everything.

Therefore, when Ma confided to my sister saying she misses her baby daughter, I felt so guilty and made a promise to myself, I must make a habit to call Ma every day. Even how busy I am, what is a few minutes of my precious 24 hours a day compares to my mom.

Having a chat with Ma just now, she asked me a simple question.. "Why do I want children?"

So, Why do you want children??

Cepat jawab?


*

Sebab anak ialah pelengkap keluarga? ------> WRONG

*

*

*

*

Sebab nak bagi zuriat kepada suami? ------> WRONG

I answered, "It's for my afterlife. It's because children are the only thing left when I'm no longer here in this world that will continuously pray for me"

RIGHT!

So, when that is my niat, be it my own children or others, as long as I teach them well, insyaAllah that is the best treasure in this whole wide world..

Sobs...

Ma cakap, mungkin kita banyak dosa sebab tu tak dapat apa yang dihajati. Jadi beristighfar la banyak2 setiap hari. Dan ada ustaz ni cakap, di dunia akhir zaman ni ada satu jin yang suka makan janin keturunan yang baik2 dan membiarkan keturunan yang kurang baik berleluasa ramainya supaya menghasilkan komuniti Islam yang tidak berkualiti. Sungguhpun demikian, Allah la yang mempunyai kuasa yang paling besar. Jika Dia hendak beri, tiada apa yang boleh menghalang..

Dan mungkin, sekarang bukan masa yang terbaik untuk kita bak kata suami saya tiap kali saya menangis bila datang menses.

Selamat menyambut bulan perkahwinan yang ke 16.. Eh, eh, bukan hari ni, lagi 5 hari.. hehehe

Wasted..

Not that slang wasted.

A friend of mine, graduated in electrical engineer from one of the prestigious Uni in Korea quit his job as the govt engineer recently. He's an electrical engineering graduate and was asked to do civil engineering things. He couldn't cope and the work given were not his passion. So he resigned, currently working with one of the top international microchip companies and so happy with it.

Well, his contract stated, if the govt were unabled to offer him a job * year(s) after he graduated, he is no longer bonded with the contract. But if the job were offered within that * year(s), contractually, he must work with the govt for 4 to 5 years. My contract carries the same clauses, except for the sum of money sponsored of course. So I was kinda shock because I thought overseas scholars should be given more strict clauses. hehehehe

Luckily for him, the govt offered him the job AFTER * year(s) he graduated. So, when he felt he can no longer tahan with it (not doing what he has learned for 4 freaking years), he resigned. The contract was not breached so the govt loses another great person. When I say another, it means, this happens a lot..

It kept me wonder, didn't the "high fliers" there do any research on what particular sector is critical and needs sponsoring so that when these smart people graduate, they will fill in the empty posts needed in the govt sector rather than being asked to do jobs that are not related at all with what they have learned in the univ?

And when these students were sponsored hundred thousands of ringgit each, is * year(s) sufficient enough to bond them?

In the end, the private sectors are at the winning side. They don't have to sponsor anyone but they get all the good brains that were sponsored by our govt..

Bravo!

Pea brain

My car was stuck in between 2 cars this morning..

I thought of driving my car to work but got annoyed instead.

Stupid people.

Luckily we have 2 cars.

What if we only had 1 and there's an emergency and we desperately need to use it.

Ni susah tinggal dengan kelompok mentality dunia ketiga.

Pagi2 dah buat aku naik angin... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Siapa tau berapa harga alat yang clamp tayar tu? Aku nak beli. Nanti siapa parking kat depan kereta aku, aku nak clamp.

Natural beauty

Rasenye saya tak ada.. Hehehehe

Ditambah pulak extra 10kg.. Urghhhh..

Anyway, minggu yang malang sebab tertinggal serkup tudung yang dibasuh di rumah Mama..

Maka hasilnya, pergi kerje dengan sedaya upaya menutup rambut daripada keluar2 daripada tudung.. Dan cube mengelak dari keluar bilik selalu, nanti nampak rambut sebab tudung bawal ni jarang..

Lepas tu, entah apa tak kene, jerawat naik menimbun2. Tiap hari pakai Aspirin Mask yang digaul bersama madu. selang 3 hari saya exfoliate, kalau tak, hanya tepek2 kat muka selama 10minit.

Teruja membaca rakan blogger yang pergi SK-II facial treatment. Kata beliau, kulitnya banyak jerawat masa zaman muda mudi dulu. tapi setelah setia bersama SK-II sejak 2 tahun dulu, kulitnya jadi cantik. Tiba2 terasa nak beli pack SK-II. Consult dengan Noni, Noni said, "U better try cheaper product first. Kalau teruk sangat, pergi skin specialist" ehehe

I have read a lot about skincare products. It's about trial and error. Product A may be good for Z but it may not work for Y. Geddit? The trial and error costs $$$$. And some may say, product A will show signs of improvement after a few months.. It's very risky to your money..

Noni menasihati supaya memakai clay mask setiap malam. And drink plain water banyak2, pastu exercise. Sweating ditch away body toxins..

Suami pula, menasihati pergi buat rawatan resdung Permat* H*jrah..

Which one should I try first?? :D

Zits, my bestfriend forever. Never leaves me since puberty.. *sigh*

Gear 5 once again?

And if she had made up her mind, then I'm so dead..

It will be my fourth time now..

Eventhough I'll be getting extra cash, what is money compares to time and all the stress I'll be having..

Bells

It's not advisable to put a collar with bell on a cat because it may disrupt it's nature to catch mice. Well, the mice may runaway when they hear the sound of the bell.
However, pet cats nowadays hardly catch anything. So, it doesn't make any difference, does it?

Meanwhile, for Muslim women:

Nauzubillah hi minzalik

It's a date..

HP7, Thursday, Wangsa Walk, 11.20am, twinseat - checked!

It doesn't seem appropriate to go for a movie on Wednesday, so Thursday instead.. Cheaper and more time to spend together..

200 pages to go on HP7 novel, khatam kali ke berapa entah. And I still cried when Dobby died and Harry dug Dobby's grave with his bare hands.. Sobs..

Oopppss, spoiler for those who haven't read the book..

Dislike

Tahu, nama aku ade orang buat lagu. Tapi tak perlu lah bila selisih dengan aku, lalu depan bilik aku, nak nyanyi lagu tu.

Aku rimas tahu.

Pastu kenapa selalu nak komen muka aku garang, muka aku pucat, aku jarang senyum.

Aku tak senyum dengan orang yang buat aku rimas.

eh, eh, nape tibe2 guna aku? Emosi terganggu.. maafin :D

Jealous??

Aku kecewa kenapa aku tak diraikan semasa pemergian nak pergi DPA?? Oh kenapa? kenapa??!!!

Hahaha, ko ni tak habis2 nak jeles ar. Dah bukan rezeki ko..

Oh, baiklah..

Hari ni buat makan2 meraikan pemergian staf yang keluar bahagian DAAAAAAAN juga sorang staf ni yang nak pergi DPA.. (WHAT?!!) Siapa lagi yang kat bahagian die meraikan perpisahan sebab nak pergi DPA supaya aku tak rasa pelik, sila angkat tangan. Ok, takyah angkat, tak nampak..

patplohsatu kene bayar rm15 tapi aku tak makan pun. Mestilah mahu makan dengan si suami tinggi. Tengok muka suami, makan dengan suami dapat pahala. Aku nak pahala.

Lagipun, dalam ucapan orang yang nak pergi DPA itu (siap ucapan ok) ada menyelit berita gembira yang isteri beliau disahkan mengandung. Aku sekarang tak boleh la dengar perkataan mengandung.

Orang lain pun semua ucap tahniah bagai, aku jadi orang extra emosi, aku blah dari bilik mesyuarat tersebut. Tahu, tahu, aku tak patut buat macam tu, tak profesional. Tapi aku extra sensitif.

Minta maaf.. Sekian..

High heels

Kalau dah pendek tu, buat cara pendek demi kesihatan kaki anda.. Nasihat untuk diri sendiri.. hehehe

New style

Received via email. Worth sharing:

Sumber Dari Seorang Kawan:

Semalam, saya sampai ke ofis agak awal. Jadi saya duduk dululah dalam kereta sambil mendengar lagu. Tiba-tiba, terkejut saya apabila ternampak kereta peronda polis berhenti dibelakang saya. Dengan penuhgaya, seorang polis datang ke arah saya.

"Selamat Pagi, Cik Kak.."
"Errr selamat pagi"..jawab saya, dengan nada yang terkejut. Tahu yang saya nampak panik, polis tu tersenyum sambil berkata:

" Selalu ke ofis, memandu sorang diri ke?"..

"Errr.. ya, saya sorang je. Apahal Encik..?"

"Beginilah, saya cuma nak menasihatkan awak saja. Awak tak buat kesalahan apa-apa, jangan takut. Cuma...macam yang kita semua tahu, sekarang banyak betul berlaku gejala ragut, rogol, cederakan, bunuh.. berlaku kepada wanita. Orang-orang yang
tak sihat ni, selalunya akan perhatikan dulu mangsa mereka, beberapa hari sebelum dia nak mengganas".

"Saya nasihatkan awak, jangan terlalu menghias kereta yang boleh menggambarkan sesebuah kereta kepunyaan wanita. Kalau boleh, anak-anak patung dan bunga-bunga, jangan diletak didalam kereta. Biar 'mereka' susah nak membezakan kereta lelaki
dan kereta wanita. Lagipun hiasan anak-anak patung ni memang menjadi pemikat kepada mereka-mereka yang suka bersembunyi dicelah kereta, terutamanya dikompleks-kompleks beli-belah untuk mencari mangsa. Sebab mereka tahu, hanya wanita saja yang suka
menghias kereta dengan anak patung nih".

"Banyak kes ragut di tempat parking, mendapati penjenayah berada ditepi kereta mangsa, beberapa minit, sebelum mangsa sampai.. Dan salah satu cara mereka nak tahu kereta tu milik wanita atau lelaki, ialah melalui keadaan dan rupa dalaman kereta itu. Jadi berhati-hatilah, jaga diri baik-baik". kata polis itu lagi sebelum berlalu.

"Terima Kasih encik.." jawab saya, bertambah-tambah pucat. Errrrrrrr... . betul jugak. Tiba-tiba terus perasaan takut menjelma. Sebelum ni tak ada pulak. Memang tak terfikir saya sebelum ni, yang hiasan kereta juga mengundang bahaya.

Hmmmm... nampaknya Hello Kitty, Pooh dan kawan-kawannya tak boleh lagi berjalan-jalan bersama Kancil saya. Kena duduk kat rumah aje.

Moral of the story:
Hiasan kereta bukan saja menarik kanak-kanak, tetapi juga menarik penjenayah!!
-> Kepada semua pemandu wanita, JAGA DIRI!! Tolong sebarkan kepada yang tersayang

Maka dengan itu, tak perlulah letak segala pasu bunga, pokok bunga, kusyen, tilam bantal bagai dalam kereta..

Women...

Not mine, repost:

Para wanita hendaklah mengambil pengajaran daripada pohon semalu dari 4 aspek:

Pertama, pohon semalu akan kuncup apabila disentuh. Ini boleh dibaratkan bahawa wanita perlu mempunyai perasaan malu (pada tempatnya).

Kedua, semalu mempunyai duri yang tajam untuk mempertahankan dirinya. Oleh itu, wanita perlu tahu mempertahankan diri dan maruah sebagai wanita muslim.

Ketiga, semalu juga mempunyai akar tunjang yang amat kuat dan mencengkam bumi. Ini bermakna wanita solehah hedaklah mempunyai keterikatan yang sangat kuat dengan Allah Rabbul 'Alamin.

Keempat, semalu akan kuncup dengan sendirinya apabila senja menjelang.Oleh itu para wanita sekalian,kembalilah ke rumahmu apabila waktu semakin senja.

Ambillah pengajaran dari semalu walaupun ia hanya sepohon tumbuhan yang kecil.

No wonder my parents didn't allow me to go out after Maghrib..

Dan, tak suka pulak tengok yang ada bonggol tinggi2 kat kepala. Maka saya jumpa ini:

To buy or not to buy

The thing about online shopping is that, it can be very addictive. Especially those websites which you had experienced their good quality products and tiptop services.

And hoyeah, today is payday.. Been updating my budget sheet in excel yesterday and.....

I have to stick to my budget plan. period.

Sis Yanie's contena from UK had arrived.. So I need to pay all the products I've ordered.. Phew..

I put my monthly savings in TH and I left some in the salary account just in case I'm in emergency need of money, then I can just cucuk the ATM machine while if TH, you have to fill in the form, wait for your turn, get your thumbs dirtied with that ink-thing and it only runs on weekdays.

So, if I'm unabled to fight my desires to buy things, I can still click the "submit" button while ordering stuff online since I know I still have a small sum in cimbeng.. Bahaya, bahaya..

I've resisted a few stuff.. And I'm so proud of myself.. teeheeeheeee

But when Nawar commented on how Miracle Water works wonders on her skin, terus rasa macam nak try.. hahaha.. Ah, the black acne scars won't disappear on this fair skin of mine.. It's ugly..

Cant' wait for December's payday which is in 40 days. Start counting.. hahaha

Happy payday everyone.. Don't overspend eh :D

It should be no problem

PC di pejabat adalah benda yang paling rapat dengan saya di pejabat ni.. Ianya telah bersama saya sejak Mei 2007 kami menghabiskan masa bersama selama 8 jam sehari, 5 hari seminggu.. Bila PC ini jatuh sakit kerana serangan virus yang melampau, hard-disknya rosak, saya pun rasa sedih sebab orang IT tak back-up emel dalam Outlook saya.. Grrrrrr, geram.. Geram dan susah hati pun tak guna. PC yang diformat tanpa buat back-up outlook, memang takkan boleh retrieve emel2 tersebut.. Buat ape susah hati atas perkara yang menangis air mata darah pun takkan boleh berubah.

Ini work-station saya.. Memang tak 5S langsung :D

1. Pokok pemberian mama.
2.Telefon hadiah kawin. Masih berdiri teguh. Harus diletak berdekatan kerana kami suami isteri masih bersms sentiasa seperti pasangan berchinta.
3. Itu Ron, pemberian Naz, hadiah harijadi yang ke-23.
4. Itu rerama comel yang boleh letak gambar tapi belum letak gambar lagi.
5. Wajiblah ada gambar lelaki terhensem di dunia.
6. Mug flusk - barang pertama yang dibeli mase masuk kerja. Ala2 ciri wanita korporat gitu bila letak atas meja. Wajib minum 6 mug sehari..
7. Itu doa yang diamalkan setiap pagi supaya bekerja dengan baik dan berkat.

Borak2 dengan orang IT, dia kate effing secure tu tak berkesan pun, maka saya pun telah ambil insiatif untuk install:

Yay, hanya spent sejumlah wang, lebihan lesen sorang budak kat L*wyat.net ni dan pc saya protected selama 365 hari. Effing secure dah di'uninstall..

Ape lah sangat untuk aset kerajaan teman sejati saya..

Ok, kembali bekerja dengan semangat :)

Another plan..

a. There are days when you felt like doing nothing when stepping into your office room, rasa nak tidur dan boring jer..
b. There are days when you work like crazy, semua laju2 sampai tak makan lunch pun tak rasa lapar..
c. And there are days where you work as usual, tak laju, tak juga lembab lepastu kejap2 cari kudap2an ape dalam laci..

Yang paling ideal adalah b, tapi jangan la sampai tak makan..

Tapi harini saya adalah a..

1. sebab pms.
2. sebab berat cuma turun 300g, itu pun ralat plus minus kot.

omg, ni cerita pasal berat badan lagi ke?

ehehehe..

Diet hancur minggu lepas sebab:
a. Pergi outstation ke Temerloh, hospital jamu nasi kerabu for morning break (nasi utk morning break tu!) then gulai ikan patin for lunch.. Hancur..
b. Belakang buku lali sakit lepas tu lutut pun sakit, jadi tak pergi jogging..
c. Asyik makan keropok je sebab minggu lepas cuacanya mendung2 saja, sesuai betul makan keropok goreng dan teh'o ais limau.

On certain things, I'm very impatient. Macam nak hilangkan jerawat kat muka, malam ni pakai dalacin-T dah expect sok muka licin bak kulit telur.. Dan lagi satu, nak turunkan berat badan, seminggu tak makan nasi dah expect badan turun 3kg.. peh.. camtu, takdela orang gemok kat dunia ni..

So, I reviewed my diet plan.
1. I can't live without carbs. I love fruits and bread.. I can live without rice, but without fruits, tak boleh..
2. I hate drinking that supplementary drink. I had to add in ribena so it will taste better. Lepas tu mata merah berair tahan nak muntah.

Again, I'm changing the plan. (See, tak sampai sebulan dah tukar plan...)

I did some reading yesterday about fitness and dieting, then I came across this real life story from a girl who manage to cut down 10kgs without having to diet or did strenuous exercise.

Add on to all those reading, I came up with this plan:
1. Brisk walking EVERYDAY for not less than an hour. Calories start burning after 20mins of continuous physical activity. Since I hate jogging, brisk walking for 1 hour per day won't feel that stressful eh? Jalan laju2 la, jangan jalan macam couple teenagers pergi dating, saja jalan lambat2 supaya lambat sampai destinasi..
2. No unhealthy fatty snacks in between meals. Say no to chocolates, keropok2, biskut2 (Biskut kering Jacob's untuk orang berpantang tu boleh la). Bila rasa lapar craving for tidbits, minum air suam, makan buah atau makan roti high fibre.
3. Aktiviti mengelap rumah dikerapkan. Dulu sekali seminggu, sekarang 2x seminggu.
4. Wash clothes manually. Selain menambah aktiviti fizikal, kurang juga bundut baju bawak balik ke rumah mama tiap hujung minggu. hehehe

This plan should last for at least 6 months.. On my 27th birthday, I MUST have the weight like when I was 19.. Kamarul Redzuan Nali sila jangan gelak

I want to print this plan + a picture of Yaya kurus and place it everywhere in the house dengan tajuk PLAN 26 APRIL 2011 BERAT 48kg.

Say no to:

Chocolate sedap dalam locker kat office..

Pada ketika ini, Yaya sedang menahan diri supaya tidak mencapai coklat tersebut.. Merana siut...

On babies

Me, not good with babies, toddlers or kids?? Oh please.. Bukan nak riak but I've taken care of my baby bro since he was a baby. And Ma used to leave him with me when she went out buying groceries or did some other business outside while I was merely 8 and he was only 1++ years old.. And I play with my sisters' children and Wan's anak buah..

So when one commented I'm not good with kids may be the reason why I'm not conceived yet is totally unacceptable and very insensitive. What is happening to our community now? Semua main cakap lepas je..

I love kids and I do wish to have one or 2 or a few bunch of them.

But I don't just cuddle some other people's baby, give them a kiss or fondle them because I fear I might transfer germs or give them disease. The most I would do is pinch the cheek or hold their hands and before that, I'll make sure that my hands are clean.. And I will never go near them if I'm not feeling well.. Babies are fragile small people..

That's me people..

Take a break.. Sticky post

Something I received via email..

MOMENTS IN LIFE

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens
But often times we look so long at the
Closed door that we don't see the one,
Which has been opened for us

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream
Go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

Don't count the years - count the memories...

Wealthy students

Bermewah2 dan pergi clubbing bila dapat duit biaya siswa.. <-- aktiviti segelintir siswa siswi.. Hujung sem makan nasi dengan telur..

Saya terkejut bila mendengar amaun biaya siswa dalam negara yang diluluskan oleh uhuk, uhuk ni pada tahun 2007 ditingkatkan sebanyak 67% per tahun.. Amaunnya sangat2 banyak.. (Lepastu fikir2 balik, 2007 selepas tu 2008 ada buat, ehem, ehem..)

Bayangkan pada zaman saya, yuran per semester dalam julat RM1-2K ikut berapa banyak kredit hour yang diambil dan tambahan sikit bagi yang tinggal di kolej kediaman uni, maka ada lebihan dalam 1K++. Bagi siswi penjimat seperti saya, uhuk, uhuk, boleh save dalam 500 ke 800/sem, kumpul2 lepastu pergi buat braces..haha

Dan sekarang, fuh, banyak betul.. Standard tu pada zaman saya, hanya budak Pet*****, Es**, Sh***, M****** je. PTPTpuu pun dalam range cukup2 boleh hidup seperti budak biaya siswa gomen ni.

Saya setuju jika review kadar dibuat untuk course2 kritikal seperti Medic, Dental dan sealiran, tapi untuk course lain yang tak berapa mahal, rase macam tak relevan. Boleh naik ikut kenaikan taraf hidup tapi kenapa banyak sangat?? Lepastu, saya tertanya pulak, budak U**M dapat kadar sama ke sebab setahu saya yuran di sana dalam beberapa ratus je per sem. Perlu tanya penyain surat tu lagi. Sejak aritu asyik kacau dia pasal perkara ni. haha

Pemilihan adalah computerized, syarat pertama, mesti dapat pointer ditetapkan kemudian lihat tanggungan dan pendapatan isi rumah..

Adik saya bengang. sebab, ehem.. Tidak dapat dinyatakan di sini, sensitif..

Ape2 pun, saya kata pada adik saya, biarlah apa orang nak buat, yang penting adalah keberkatan duit yang diterima. Lepas tu, ayat garang sikit, belajar2 la jimat dah tahu mama papa tanggung..hehehehe.. JANGAN NGADA NAK ADA AWEK!!! Dan beliau juga sedang berusaha gigih untuk skor sem 1 dan apply sekali lagi.. Good Luck :)

Tomorrow should be better than today

When I was little, when BM and BI subjects have this particular part where you have to write essays, I realised that I hate writing; because I was and still not good at it. My favourite BM teacher during primary, Cikgu Osman always told us to read more books and articles in the newspaper in order to write better. Trust me, I did, but my writings were always the the dull, boring one. Even my personal jurnal are boring.

After PMR, I decided to choose something to do with science that requires no essay or paper writings in my job later on plus, I'm an introvert, I dislike having myself in a large crowd. I took Food Science and Nutrition, and yay, everything was so straight forward. Tak perlu ayat bunga2 cinta. Tesis pun semua facts and theories. The work is in the lab most of the time, wearing labcoat, surrounded with chemicals and high-tech machine.. That's so me :)

And then...........

Almost 4 years ago, I chose what I'm doing now. Yang pada ketika itu, saya berada di persimpangan, ke kiri atau ke kanan dan saya pilih ini. Tiap hari tulis surat, buat paper dan adakalanya kena buat paper JM. Dapat pula bos dari bhg kabinet. Maka draf surat/paper saya semestinya asyik ade bunga2 cinta kaler merah.

And it was so hard for me to finish up my PPK paper. Last buat tulisan ilmiah ni mase DPA kot.

This can't go on forever. This work I'm doing now, do require writing skills, papers, reports, letters etc..

And in order to write better, I need to have facts and knowledge too. Tak boleh tulis kosong je. Kerje ini bukan macam buat kerja lab, masuk sample, ade result. Result pula yang sukar/tak boleh disangkal. Siapa nak bantah, pergi bantah orang yang cipta analyser tu. Kalau result salah, sama ada buat salah or alat rosak or alat tak calibrate betol. (oh rindunya perkataan calibrate :). Sekali run sample, bukan run sekali, paling kurang 3 kali. Jadi, peluang untuk salah sebab diri buat salah tu tipis.

Tapi, apa2 kerja pun ada dugaan dan cabarannya. Kawan saya Food Technologist kat Penang kate, "Boring ar keje, asyik run sample, pastu setahun mesti kena pergi kursus luar negara 3-4 kali setahun belajar teknologi baru. "Boring" gila." Chis, saja nak buat aku jeles.

Holding on to Wan's favourite quote, "regrets bring you nowhere, it won't change the past. So do something to make the present a much better place to live"

Baiklah.. Esok perlu lebih baik dari hari ini..

Business deal

I have bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 via online at their website. Not 1 but 3 licenses. I have not done any market survey on how much it costs out there (but 3 is much cheaper than buying just 1 when buying online). Anyhow, anyone who's interested to purchase, there are still 2 left. PM me at surayasukeri(at)gmail.com.

1 sold and 1 reserved..

I want my pc back

ok, a quick update..

Went to Temerloh for a short inspection at Hospital Temerloh 2 days ago. Disappointing result..

My bought-in-2007 CPU was infected with million gazillions virus, that it has to be taken to the "hospital" for 2 days. So yesterday and today, I'm using this EO's pc, which is tersangat lambat. Bile kite tengah ngelat kejap bukak blog ke, tetibe bos datang, memang akan kantoi sebab memang tak sempat nak minimize. Nak minimize pun amik mase almost 30 seconds.

For the past few months, many CPUs crashed because of virus. Therefore the IT dept couldn't provide me with any temporary CPU. They said we installed games and downloaded many things inside the PC which is the reason why it crasehd. Funny isn't it. Because I argued back, our PCs are set in such a way that we are unable to install anything without the Admin's password. And I backfired saying the antivirus isn't working or inefficient, maybe because it's a cheap one. Scan 2 times a week but still, so many pc crashed because of the same reason.

Feels like replacing the effing-Secure antivirus with Kaspersky..

PC korang gune antivirus ape??

Diet - Day 4

Yesterday was the fourth day. No carbs and daily jog at the park. On the 3rd day, I nearly fainted after 1 round. Terus kena marah dengan Wan, "Lenkali makan lebih sikit sebab tak makan karbohidrat"

Baiklah! :)

So far, I'm doing great.

Today, the office organized a small event bace yasin dan tahlil. Wow, sooooooo many food. I quickly ran away from all those yummilicious food after the event but couldn't resist not having a bite of karipap and cucur badak. Now, saya menyesal. Therefore, just soup for lunch ok Yaya.

Can't wait to weigh myself next Wednesday :)

Loss

My colleague's husband passed away on the 11th morning; the day I went for PTK. The colleague came back to work on the 18th.

Her work-station is exactly in front of my room. So, many came to her place asking about how it happened etc and she, willingly or not kept on telling and repeating the same ol' story. Which for me, it may be agonizing for her to repeat them again and again about how her husband passed away. Have you not learned the word sensitivity, people? And if it were to happened to you, would you want to keep on telling people how your husband died merely a week after he is gone? Sedih tak hilang lagi kan..

Ma once told me, it is makruh to say takziah to the waris si mati after 3 days and here's what I found after doing all the research in the net and in the book:

Menurut para ulama, sunat mengucapkan takziah itu dalam lingkungan tiga hari, sebab menurut kebiasaannya kesusahan itu tidak lebih dari tiga hari. Maka makruh hukumnya jika ucapan takziah itu dilakukan lebih daripada tiga hari, kerana ditakuti selepas tiga hari itu akan memperbaharui kesedihan seseorang itu. Dalam hal ini Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam menjadikan puncak daripada kesusahan selama tiga hari, sebagaimana sabda Baginda:

Maksudnya: “Bagi wanita yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat tidak diharuskan berkabung atas si mati lebih daripada tiga hari, kecuali atas suaminya iaitu selama empat bulan sepuluh hari”.

(Hadis riwayat Al-Bukhari)

Action speaks louder than words which I think presenting yourself in front of her holding her hand or giving a hug may indirectly express "I'm sorry for your loss" or "I'll be here when you need me"; without having to say a word, don't you think?

Al-Fatihah..

Did they know things that we don't?

First, I saw this IT officer in my dept (a 48) during a meeting used a 33sekupang phone and I asked Lin, is that his phone or is it just temporary. And Lin replied, yes, that's his phone. Seriously??!! 33 sekupang with yellow screen ok.. My first phone year 2002.

Then, I always kacau IT people about my PC since I can't download anything without the Admin's password. So they came by a few times to install the necessary things I asked them. Again, all of them are using old fashion N*kia cellphone. Rubber keypad, yellow screen and no camera ect, etc.

A few days back, Wan told me the same things about his IT people use older version cellphone. So here I am wondering, what did they learn that common people are not aware of?

I am still not in need of a smartphone, BB or iP. My work does not require them. I online using my heavy, humongous, screen blinking lappy and I am satisfy enough with my current phone or any phone that has 3G and a 2nd camera for me to have videocalls with Wan.

But I can't help grinning when one told me she must have one of these expensive phones for her to check the FB like every hour....
As long as you're happy dear :D

Went to watch The Other Guys last night and seludup makanan masuk wayang because the show started at 7.45. The movie is extremely funny and my muscle face was having spasm due to laughing so much. Highly recommended.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale - Official Movie Trailer

Should I be watching this at the cinema or at home, having my own private time snuggling Wan and crying buckets?

Positive impact

What makes you sad even more; the fact that you're not pregnant yet or someone thought you're pregnant (because you looked kinda, errr fat)??

*cry*

People are so insensitive nowadays aren't they?

*cry again*

*then laugh*

I may not have any say on the first because it's the God's thing, I can pray and hope for the best but the latter, the power is in my hand to change it, if I'm willingly want to and determine enough to do it.

So, it started last Sunday. Went jogging in the morning. Yesterday, I cut all my carbs intake, take my supplementary diet drink 4 times daily which I dread drinking it (not tasty at all) and decide to jog every evening after work at Putra Perdana.

It was a success yesterday and hopefully for the next 4 weeks.

All the best Yaya! p(^_^)q

Movie weekend

Warning: Spoilers

Finally, we watched Paranormal Activity yesterday afternoon. Wouldn't dare to watch it at night. Hadi said the movie is kinda scary.

It is quite slow moving at the beginning, I slept during the 1st 30minutes. Wan's the one kept waking me up when the ghost scenes appeared. So, I went to wash my face and sit-up straight.

The last 40minutes is where you can see more ghost's activities. The door shut by itself, then 'it' walked on the sprinkled talcum powder on the floor, Katie went out and sit on the swing and not remembering anything about it and the most horrifying is when Katie was dragged from her bed.

Ours is the alternate ending; which after Katie killed Micah downstairs, she went back into the room, holding a bloodied knife and her shirt was soaked with blood. She just sit by the bed rocking herself back and forth for almost 2 days. When her sister stopped by, she saw Micah's body and call the police. When the police went upstairs, Katie was herself again wanted to find Micah but with the knife in her hand, the police thought she's harmful so she was shot. It ended there.

From what we read from wiki, the budget for that movie is only USD15K and guess how much the gross revenue is........ USD193mil man!!

Crazy isn't it? I guess, people are tired of watching gruesome horror movies with gory scenes. Paranormal Activity doesn't even need costume for the ghost, just some camera trick that's all and bam USD193mil.

The 2nd movie we watched was Chloe. Cerita jiwa kacau.

Tengah2 menonton, ada pulak sorang mamat ni tepon tanya tempat makan best mane kat Bangi untuk dibawa awek berdating :p The funny thing was, he called me but I passed the phone to Wan dan boleh pulak mamat tu tanya, "siapa ni?" when Wan answered.

And the 3rd was My Blueberry Nights. The movie was kinda draggy. Awaked for 20mins then both of us fell asleep through out the movie but I woke up just in time for the ending. Jude Law's character is sweet. And I craved for blueberry pie after watching it.

Wan's going for his weekly badminton session tonight from 10 to 12 and the scenes in Paranormal Activity kept on playing in my head.. Help!!

Short nap weekend

Saya sentiasa ada masalah disiplin. Disiplin dari segi pengurusan masa disebabkan penyakit suka tangguh sejak azali lagi.

Tangguh belajar, tangguh lipat baju, tangguh lap lantai, tangguh kemas katil etc, etc.

Kahwin pula dengan seorang lelaki yang cukup pantang kalau saya suke tangguh2 contohnya bila amik bekas air sejuk, tak letak balik dalam peti ais atau tangguh basuh pinggan. Suami yang bebel, comel tak? Tak comel, sebab kena tegur.. huh

Pastu kene tegur dengan penuh kasih sayang, kalau nak kurus, kene la rajin buat exercise. Ni tiap kali tengok pempuan kurus, asyik kate nak kurus tapi tak buat ape2. Baik, baik.

Semalam, Ahad yang produktif.

Pagi2 seawal 6.30 sudah ke Putra Perdana, jogging. Pelik, sebab 6.30 di Taman Layang-layang Kepong dah ramai manusia, ni kat Putra Perdana jam 7 lebih baru ramai orang. Maka 7.15 dah habis jogging 2 round. Jogging path dia pelik, kami tak tau jogging path mane yang betol. Kalau di Kepong tu, jogging path die ade laluan yang lembut tu (untuk menyerap hentakan bila jogging), tapi kat Putra Perdana, semua pun laluan batu-bata.

Habis jogging, saja nak tengok semua taman2 yang ade kat Putrajaya ni.

Taman Botani, setakat masuk kereta kat tempat letak kereta je, ada nampak orang jogging tapi macam tak best sebab die turun ke bawah, pemandangan macam tak best je, berbeza dengan Putra Perdana yang atas bukit, jogging path dia turun naik bukit dan boleh tengok bandar Putrajaya.

Taman Rimba Alam, khas untuk orang suke naik basikal atau naik kuda sebab jalan die berbukit2, dari luar bukan macam taman rekreasi bawa anak2 dalam pram.

Lepas tu cari Taman Saujana Hijau, tak jumpe, pusing2 lepas tu jumpe Presint 9 (sila gelakkan kami) terus pergi makan nasi lemak kat depan Klinik Kesihatan tu (abis terbentuk kembali kalori yang terbuang masa jogging tadi). Nasi lemak kosong yang pedas-sangat-manis-pulak-tu-dan-sambal-takde-bilis pun harga RM2.50. Tobat taknak beli dah, tapi tak tau kenapa ramai orang beli kat tempat tu.

Balik rumah, menonton 2 movie, Paranormal Activity dan Blueberry Nights.

Lepas maghrib, had our dinner outside dan membeli barang dapur..

PTK dimansuhkan, terus rasa malas nak siapkan kertas kerja.. Haaa, tangguh lagi lar tu...

Renovation

So Pa decided to renovate his master bedroom; he wants to have a wall or something in the middle and make 2 rooms from that master bedroom. He's going to move to the guest room downstairs. So now, this house is going to have 8 rooms. No master bedroom anymore and it seems that my room is the biggest of all.

8 rooms?? Bro Pian has his own room, I still occupy my old room because I go back home every weekend, Bro Wan only comes back home on weekend too but not every weekend pun, Sis Yanie will be moving to KK, Sis Yana works in Kelantan, Sis Yanti will also be working in Kelantan when she finishes her Phd, therefore I don't think we need so many rooms..

Well, renovation has started. I hate renovation. Especially the sloppy contractors. You know the type that never covers your tiled floor or the furnitures properly, leaves dirty walls when they finished (no initiative to even paint it just because it's not in the scope of work.) and smoke in your house whereas they know there are kids inside the house..

So usually, Ma is the kepohci when renovation work is on going. She will told them to be careful with the tiles, inspect their work like every 1 hour and when those workers borrowed our tools, she'll make sure they'll return it back when the job is finished. It helps a lot to be a kepohci. Again, especially the sloppy contractor. You'll only know they are sloppy workers once the work started. Then, it's just too late to back off or change the contractor.

Same thing happened to the renovation at my work place. The doors are all senget, you can see it when you close the door, the gap between the door and the door frame isn't even from the top to bottom, they didn't measure the hinges or covered the carpet with anything when they painted the door so when some of the paint spilled, it dirtied the carpet.

When the workers were doing my room at the office, I couldn't help being a kepohci. I asked them to clean the paint that spilled on the carpet in my room and on the wall, I said to be careful when removing the furniture because they were extremely very malas, they didn't lift up the the furnitures, they just pushed it and causing the kaki meja or the almari baju yang pendek tu jadi senget. Their works are not neat at all, sebab tu la murah agaknya and I can still see them at my office building. Some other department must've engaged them too. Too bad for us, good business for them.

And when renovation is on going, you have to be careful with your valuable stuff. They move freely in your house, so we have to hide the valuables or locked all the rooms that are not affected.

And when at home, you have to cover yourself. No more seluar pendek around the house.

Ma is in Sydney, so the kepohci isn't here :D I went to have a peek to see how they work just now and 1 word, sloppy..

I can't stand the drilling and the knocking.. I'm going back home to Putrajaya in the afternoon.. I cannot be the kepohci because I am not the boss in this house. Kat ofis boleh la :D hehehe

P and Q

When I was little, I read this short story in one of the Enid Blyton's about this girl who always forgot to say Please and Thank you. So, her mother told her, everytime she forgot to say Please, she will pin a small piece of cloth with a big letter P on her frock and same as for Thank you, with a big letter Q.

After a few days, her frock is full of Ps and Qs and she started to cry because she was ashamed. Her mother then said, each time when she remembers to say the word Please and Thank you, she will take off that piece of cloth from her frock one by one. And of course, in the end, it is a lesson learned for that girl and she never forgets to say those 2 magical words.

I say they are 2 magical words. Whenever you ask someone for help, it is more polite to say please or tolong. Then, when the work is finished, saying thank you won't hurt, isn't it?

Well, just now I went through the forum for my ministry's community. There is this topic call "suara hati" and a few subtopics related to that issue. The sad thing is, many complained that the officers are very rude and saying tolong or terima kasih seems like the hardest words to say.

I wonder, how humongous is their ego when they can't even utter those words to their subordinates.

Last Hari Raya, I can't remember any of the kids saying thank you when receiving raya angpau and the parents couldn't be bothered to ask them to say it.

Now, I have my 2 anak buah at home. And whenever they ask something like, "Che Yaya nak air masak" I will rephrase their sentences, "Che' Yaya, TOLONG ambilkan air masak". And if they don't repeat the sentence, no air masak for you kiddo. Garang tak? :D

Freeeeee

Yey, the exam is over..

Yesterday was the presentation..

I was presenting with 8 other presenters; 3 from J*PA and 1 each from M*OF, J*PJ, K*DN, K*LN and M*OA.. I was the 2nd last presenter and the time keeper for the 1st 4 presenters. None were from D*PA 1/2008. 1 is a senior batch, the rest are junior batch and I am the youngest of all :D

There were 2 lady panels.

How did mine go?

The panels only commented on the slides like the rest of us, (they should be more interesting) and only 1 question came from them: "What are the challenges I experienced in order to complete my task as 41 at my place". Oh, there was another comment, they said I talked too fast like bullet train. haha. I guess, it's in my blood, didn't you notice how fast the Chinese people talk? :)

But they did ask more question on the presenter before (from J*PA) and after me (from M*OA). So, how should I conclude? Whether the panels like or dislike my presentation or maybe my work are just too technical, they didn't have a clue what to ask.

Oh overall, the panels commented (on all presenters) for our future TKs (SKT presentation is until TK6, did you know that?):

1. on the slides. It should be more interesting, with colours, arrows not the usual standard table form. P*TD should be more creative in presentation to impress the panels;

2. Too wordy and the words are too small. Power point won't be called power point if the words are not in point form;

3. Eye-contact, mostly had their eyes on the screen or on the panels but not with the audience;

4. More SKTs doesn't mean that it shows that you are doing so much works therefore you should be given more marks. Just present the most important things and elaborate more on that to the panels to show that you're competent doing it. (Some presented until 12 SKT. I presented only 4 SKT and the panels said 3 are enough..);

5. Explain and don't read from the slide. You will lose your eye-contact and it shows that you're not ready;

6. Don't mix the language, (Malaysian can't live without the word "so" nowadays isn't it?);

7. Time, mostly presented less than 8minutes when we were actually been given 10 minutes;

8. Practice. Practice with your friends, colleagues before the presentation. (I practiced with Wan and we couldn't help laughing at each other during the 1st few times); and

9. When you're presenting your work, show the enthusiasm that you like doing what you're doing now and the job are very interesting to do (even when you actually hate what you're doing and they are the most boring thing on earth).

Unlucky for those from J*PA, they received the most questions, just because the panels are from the same department.

Now we're free again, watched 2 movies (at home) yesterday immediately after the presentation and ordered delivery pizza. Ah, heaven :)

Looking for Restoran Ayam Penyet

Due to functional paper frustration, we decided to have our lunch at a so-called nice and sedap place. Noni said she recently ate nice ayam penyet at Bangi, but she couldnt locate where it is. No, not the one tepi jalan tu. Saw the green painted Ice-Room Restaurant, so we went there to give it a try. People said it's good. And Jalan-jalan Cari Makan has been there too.

Wan ordered,

Chicken Curry Mee, RM6.90

It's not mee kari biasa tu. The noodle was cooked with sweet soy sauce, then they put chicken curry on the top of the sweet noodle. The menu doesnt state Chicken Curry Mee-DRY. Not nice.


I ordered,

SeZhuan Spicy Noodle (dry), RM7.90

Not spicy at all. It tasted sweet.


Noni ordered,

Hong Kong Wonton Soup Noodle, RM8.90

It's not even real wonton. They put shrimp wrapped in wonton skin. Noni said not nice.

The noodles, all three are dried instant noodle. Ala, mee instant kering kosong tu cap C*intan, V*it etc.

And we ordered Bluebery ice-cream, RM7.90. No picture. Tak sempat, dah habis because ice-cream came first and we were 2 hungry people. Noni not included. She doesnt eat sweet food. No wonder sangat2 kurus. The ice-cream was not creamy and fluffy tapi makan banyak pun tak rasa muak sangat. Aiskrim dia boleh tahan lar.. The texture is quite similar to the one yang pakcik jual aiskrim kon (boleh juga dengan roti) atas motor luar sekolah. Dulu harganya 20sen.

The restaurant got lalat and filled with durian odour.

The ordering system is quite different. They put the menu list with pencil on the table along with the menu book, place the order by writing the quantity in the box next to the menu we want and give it to the waiter.

Will I be coming to this place again? Maybe, but just for the ice-cream.

Sleep, awake, sleep, awake, doze

Inilah yang berlaku selama beberapa malam yang lepas. Ye, penangan PPK.
Buku2 dan bantal2 bergolekan di ruang tamu. Dicampur nota2 di laptop. Mata tu pejam 30 minit, sedar 10min, pejam 50 minit lagi, sedar 5 minit. Pejam 2 jam, tak sedar2 lagi sampai pagi.

Selesai sudah 2 penulisan bertulis.

Presentation kami hari Khamis petang. Dan saya ialah penjaga masa dan juga presenter terakhir.. Esok saya perlu masuk ofis seperti biasa..

Sekarang di pejabat, lagi 20 minit mahu pulang. Sempatla buat kerje sikit tadi tapi sangat2 mengantuk ni.

Panjang sudah berada di rumah, golek2 tidur2. Ayat takleh tahan die tadi mase makan kat Ice-Room Bangi (tak sedap puuuuuuun), "Nak buat apa lah petang ni dan esok, banyak gila masa terluang". Chis, tau lar die dapat cuti tanpa rekod 4 hari.

Hari ni malas masak, mahu tidur awal :D

Weekend ini kita berjimba2.. Yey..

Tapii...
Ma dah ke Oz semalam, pergi jumpa cucu lagi 2 orang kat sana. 2 orang cucu dah pulang ke tanah air for good (tapi kene posting ke KK pulak lagi 2 bulan), rindu nak jumpa cucu lagi 2 orang pula.. Bila keluarga sukeri nak dapat cucu ke5 ni?

Seperti yang dijangka soalan mengenai dah berisi ke belum datang bertubi2 dalam masa 2 hari ni.. Saya jawab, esok aku pregnant.. hehe..

Not for the poor

Kenapa bila sebut mee segera orang akan bersimpati? Ketika saya di Kolej Y UKM dulu, saya cukup pemalas nak turun cafe kecil (bukan kafe pun sebab makcik tu datang dan tapaukan makanan untuk pembeli je), kalau lambat turun, makanan habis, lepas tu kena pergi kat area She*ll tu beli makanan, maka mee segera, biskut dan nestu*m adalah makanan ruji saya, bila housemate cakap "makan mee segera je" dengan nada simpati, saya pulak rasa simpati dengan diri saya (sebab tu la masa uni paling kurus - fat cume 16%).

Mama cakap, masa dia pergi honeymoon kat Jepun tahun 70-an dulu, mee segera tu orang makan selamber kat kedai serbaneka. Ianya adalah makanan on-the-go.. Majoriti mereka makan mee segera. Cepat dan kenyang..

Prof saya dulu pun cakap okey je makan mee segera tapi kene minum air banyak sebab kandungan garam yang sangat tinggi.

Ape2 pun, mee segera tu makan kegemaran suami yang ke-6 kot. Saya paling gembira bila dia tiba2 datang kat saya yang tengah golek2 depan tv lepas balik dari pejabat, "Yang, malam ni dinner mee segera".

Saya pun ape lagi, umpama dapat tenaga booster, terus jerang air dalam periuk 1 dan 2. Periuk 1 rebus mee, periuk 2 letak telur, sayur, ayam. Tos mee dan masuk dalam periuk 2. (Saya tak suka air rebusan mee kering tu, buat kuah jadi likat semacam maka saya asingkan.)

Mee segera saya sihat, ade telur, sayur2an dan lauk2.. Pastu marah suami hirup kuah msg tu dan bagi dia minum air kosong bergelas2.

Jadi, ok je kan makan mee segera? Bukan kate tak mampu nak beli makanan lain atau malas nak masak, tapi kadang-kala convenient. Janganlah sampai tiap hari mee segera..

Tadi sambil2 masak lunch (bukan mee segera, dengar kat al-kuliyyah, 3 ciri wanita yang masuk syurga:
1. Jaga solat (masuk waktu terus solat);
2. Jaga puasa; dan
3. Jaga suami
Pastu adalah elaboration yang lain.

SA-TEK-JA-DER-BADI-HATI-TAULA-GAS-HEMAT-SABA-KAT-CIP <---aish, melekat dah formula Tonggak 12 ni :D

Cepatlah suami pulang solat Jumaat, dah lapar ni....

Rich but.............

You can continue the sentence after reading this entry..

3 days ago, I was waiting for Nonie to come to my building, which is just the opposite of hers. It was raining, agak lebat juga waktu itu.

While waiting outside, I saw this Mercedes dropped a passenger at the main entrance. Then the passenger spoke to the guard something like "We have an appointment with the top people in this building", maybe that was his words because the guard pushed the cone to make way for the car to park there. Ok fine..

Anyway, that idiot parked his car exactly underneath the shielded pedestrian pathway. Here's the picture.

This superdumb is the most inconsiderate person on earth. Those who had to cross over habis kena hujan because of your expensive car yang nak shelter from the rain. Ruangan tu bukan tempat parking berbumbung lar.

Lepas ni, kalau ada orang buat begini, I'll knock at his window and will ask him to move his car a bit to the front or back.

Thieves..

Wan's 1 1/2 month old black shoe was stolen last night.. Marah tau. It took me almost 1 hour to help him decide which one worth buying and I have to go through that process all over again??!! hehehe, kidding :D

Along with that new shoe that were left outside were my court shoe and Wan's brown shoe, both are Clar*ks' but the thieves took the new one because the other 2 looked buruk sikit.

Since Wan only have a pair of black shoe and the exam+presentation is next week, we had no choice but to buy a new one unless Wan wants to wear his shining mess-kit shoe :D

Ni kene check kedai bundle berdekatan.. Entah2 ada kan??

Pengajaran: Walaupun kasut tu tak berjenama tapi baru, jangan letak di luar..

This is about him..

The husband and I will be seating our 1st PPK exam together next Monday. 1 hour ago, he said he can concentrate better in the room rather than with me at the living room. 1/2 an hour after that, he's concentrating alright, but not studying, sleeeeping..hehehe..

I am quite excited about this exam. Since both of us are in the same scheme, there's so much in common. After 3 years ++ in this relationship, we still sms'ing quite frequently each day, and if at work, we exchange ideas or seek advices or editing each other's letter.

My ustazah when I was in secondary once said, find a man whom you knew his background, his past which means, someone whom I knew since school years. Sebabnya, masa zaman bercinta, he will show his best behaviours and you are clueless of what he's like when he's at home unless you have known him for quite some time (people say bad habits are hard to break).

Husband is 5 years older than me. I don't think I have met him before and PT*D Unggul is where I noticed this guy who had handphone as his 11th finger. Seriously, everytime I saw him at the corridor, he's always on the phone. Dipendekkan cerita, we decided to start a serious relationship a few months after that.

Then, my ustazah's words striked me. So when DPA came, I took this opportunity to get to know him better through his friends, his room mates, his sidang mates, everyone and alhamdulillah, the feedbacks were all the good ones..

And luckily for me, when we went for penempatan daerah, I had Syariman, Ustaz Zabri, Chit and Zul Osman which all of them were his sidangmates as my kampung mates. Ape lagi, mase terluang 2 minggu digunakan untuk korek cerita pasal boyfriend.

They even made jokes about sidang luar yang buat Joe muka paling moyok ialah OBS sebab 2 minggu takdek handphone.. hehehe.. And when Chit came to meet my keluarga angkat di Kampung P*amah K*ulat, he saw my room was a bit untidy and he told me, "Wan malang dapat hang sebagai isteri sebab dia lah lelaki paling pembersih aku pernah jumpa". Instead of feeling irritated by Chit's words, hatiku gembira dengan statement tersebut..

And indeed, when we started our lives together 1 year + ago, I've never met lelaki (bukan gay atau lembut) yang sangat pembersih dan rajin. Alhamdulillah, sangat bersyukur dengan kurniaan ini. I was touched when we went back from our 1 week raya leave, the house was quite dusty so I started sneezing. Without having to tell him, "Abg sayang tolong sapu lantai and buang sawang boleh tak" sambil buat gaya manja2 gediqs, he did it on his own initiative.

Spending almost 5 days at his kampung with him and his father during raya, baru saya tau, mana nak tumpahnya kuah kalau tak ke nasi.. My FIL is very rajin. Lantai berdebu sikit dia sapu lantai, pinggan2 pun dia lap simpan dalam almari dll..

Alhamdulillah.. Terima kasih Allah, terima kasih abah dan arwah mak yang mendidik lelaki ini dengan baik sekali. Sudah tiba masanya mengejut si dia yang sedang nyenyak tidur tu.. :D

Lies..

I have always had trust issues.. even when I was a kid. Due to watching too many tv programmes, I developed this feelings that people who are not related to you will lie for their own benefits.

When I was 10, my best-friend said she spent 2 years in Zimbabwe and she got to be the coolest kid ever that time. I already knew where Zimbabwe is and it can't be true unless one of her parents is an ambassador or a N*tional G*ographic scientist or photographer and I definitely knew her parents, she's my bff. I said I don't believe her, therefore I was outcasted by the so called coolest gang.

In order to prove that she's lying, I went through Pa's Britannica's Encyclopaedia and many other books to find more on Zimbabwe. And yeah, I got to prove she's lying but the ending was kinda messy. But we are still friends now and she is in the same scheme as I am, only 2 years junior..hehe

Kids always lies or should I say they love to brag the untrue things.

However, when adult people lie to escape responsibilities, that is so freaking uncool and totally unacceptable. Lying seems like a sinless thing to do nowadays. People can easily tell lies naturally while giving us the straight face.

I believe in karma, what comes around, goes around.

Money and fame

The big boss said in the meeting last Tuesday, enjoy what you have now for what you always wish for may not be as good as you think it will be and in life, you cant get everything, you get some, you lose some. Nobody's life is perfect... So true isn't it?

I'm a normal person and I sometimes do wish for luxury things I cant afford of. It's good to have lots of money but it's bad to compare your life materially with others richer than you. It makes you feel sangat2 tidak bersyukur with what you have. And you dont say this out loud to your husband, especially to a nice husband like mine. Deep down inside, he'll feel bad for not being able to give everything the wife desires.

Career-wise, I sometimes envy those who got the opportunity to travel overseas, equipped themselves with knowledgeable courses, get acquainted with great people, well known to their bosses, while I am stuck in this office, day in day out and what I did daily is only a teeny-weeny portion that goes out in the PTK exam. Pathetic..

Easier for others to say, "you have to work hard to excel OR to get yourself noticed". Seriously, working in the 2nd biggest Ministry in this country, wow, that's super duper extra hard-work unless you are pretty, a lil bit flirtatious or good at sweet talk, then the chances are slightly higher for people to remember you easily. I want to deny it, but this shit still happens SOMETIMES. (apart from those who excel solely because of their abilities).

My husband always tells me, fame and money aren't everything. When you get some, you will lose some. You have money but you don't have time; you have fame but you lose your private life; you get higher position in work, there comes the bigger responsibilities meaning lesser time with your loved ones.

I have this friend who works in one of the Arab's countries (with a very huge paycheck of course) but only goes back home a few months a year to meet her husband and her mother. I cant imagine what kind of life she has.

Well, she is not me and I am not her.

My family is my most top priority. I slept next to my husband every night, went back to KL every weekend to see my parents n my FIL, talked to my mother on the phone a few times weekly.

Money can't buy time.

Imam Al-Ghazali once said, The most unreachable thing in life is your past time.. Once it's gone, you can never get it back. So spend it wisely.

Whenever I'm having my downtime, feeling that my life is kinda, erm, pathetic compared to others, I will think of my loved ones and all the good things I'm blessed with. Indeed I'm not rich but I am not poor, always, always, remember my niat when I come to work every morning which is to help the country, then I won't feel bad at all...I love my life because it's great, alhamdulillah..

Movies and more movies

Most of the movies I've been watching are the ones downloaded by Bro Pian which mostly Lala doesnt approve masuk panggung Malaysia. Must utilize the hdtv to the max selagi warranty masih ada. However the tv arent abled to read other than mp4 file. So, I connect the pc speaker+woofer to my laptop and the lappie to the tv and lights off. The result, macam tengok di panggung wayang tapi boleh baring2 and makanlah apa2 yang ada di dapur tu.


One cool movie. It's about Clyde Sheldon (Gerard Butler) whom witnessed his wife and daughter being raped and murdered. And after 10 years, Shledon decides to take justice into his own hands. I still pitied Sheldon even what he did in the movie.. A must watch movie.


A light comedy. It's about 2 high-school jocks Nick Brady and Shawn Colfax (Pelakon tak terkenal) whom managed to skip football camp in order to join a cheer camp to get the girls. Typical and so predictable but the jokes are funny and the movie is fast-moving. You can put aside your brain and mind while watching this.


A typical never-been-seen creature attacking a bunch of humans with lots of gory scenes. Yucks..

More Than Blue

One of the movies I watched. Korean, Kwon Sang-woo (wootwoot), Melodrama.

The movie was a bit slow moving for the first one hour. For the sake of my favourite actor, I forced myself not too sleep..

It's about these 2 bestfriends, Kay (the guy) and Cream (the girl). Both doesnt have parents and have been living together since highschool. Kay owns a big house and invited Cream to live with him and they became best-friends eversince.

Sad for Korean movie means someone is dying and Kay is. He's in love with Cream and wants her to have a good life after he dies.. When we thought the movie is a typical, predictable sad love story, there came the twist that made me cried buckets until Joe had to hug me so that I'll stop sobbing. I've never cried that much. Not after watching Windstruck or have I gone mellowed because I even cried when I watched Homer Hickam won the National Science Fair in October Sky.

Hmm, bila agaknya cerita cinta Malaysia nak sampai ke tahap berkualiti macam ni..??

Raya-Openhouse-Majlis Kahwin-PTK

Perkara2 yang akan rancak berlaku dalam bulan September dan Oktober..

Ape2 pun, Selamat Hari Raya..

Hari Raya is not my favourite holiday kerana....
.... tv tidak lagi menyiarkan rancangan circus atau telematch Jerman yang sentiasa menghiburkan saya.. <---Salah satu reason..

Tapi Hari Raya pertama tahun ini, di KL sahaja. Parents tak balik KB, saya pun tak balik la. Malam Raya, sesi masak2 dengan Mama sampai jam 1 pagi. Sis Yanie masih di UK, Sis Yanti masih di Sydney. Sis Yana pulang ke KL. Tinggal 4 beradik sahaja.

Menu Raya: Nasi Dagang Mama yang sedap tiada tandingan, nasi impit dan kuah kacang.

Lepas solat Jumaat, ke PD. Hihihi. Ade ape di KL? Saudara mara semua kat KB. Tinggal di Ilham PNB Resort. Review akan datang. Sesampai di sana, polis ramai giler, siap ada Unit K9. Tak boleh masuk bilik. Syak2 ada kaitan dengan 4 orang itukah ke ada bom threat? Malam tu malam karok. Suara paling sedap, mestilah suami saya.. uhuk, uhuk..

Ahad: Kami ke Batu Gajah, kampung Abg Joe. Tinggal sehingga hari Khamis dowh! Celcom Broadband tiada pencapaian, Isnin aktiviti ziarah2, 2 hari lagi terbaring tengok movie je. Tinggal kami bertiga je di kampung, yang lain dah pulang ke rumah masing2. Dah lost count berapa banyak movie yang ditonton selain badan ini jadi jamuan nyamuk. Pelik bila abg Joe tak kene gigit langsung. Mungkin kerana beliau tidak semanis saya.. ehehehe

Openhouse: Jangan tanye, saya tak mungkin buat selagi tak punya rumah sendiri. tapi kalau nak datang, silakan. Tiada halangan. Beberapa jemputan dah diterima, baru pergi 1. Masih kawal diri, takmakan banyak pun. Tak sabar nak timbang berat Rabu ni. Kalau naik berat jugak, tak tau ar nak cakap ape lagi.

Majlis kahwin: Tahniah Shuko sebab selamat sudah jadi suami orang. Majlis kat Rompin tu, kalau senang, mungkin kami pergi. Weekend akan datang, ade lagi 3 jemputan kahwin..

PTK: Belum keluar lagi nama masuk ke tak untuk 11 oktober ni. tapi kene bersiap sedia sekarang. Next week start study group dengan abg Joe di rumah. (Echeh, macam ramai je) Target Aras 4.. fuiyoh.. ehehehe (Amin)

Last week, then this week..

Last week, Pa's car broke-down. And just now, all of a sudden, Joe's car suddenly stopped in the middle of Jalan Istana at 11.30pm. I was scared like hell. Cars, lorries, buses sped like crazy at the 4-lane road. Trying to act cool while my hands were shaking holding the car steering while Joe pushed the car towards the emergency lane. A motorbike stopped, an Indian couple offered to help push the car. Ada juga orang baik kat dunia ni kan? (Tapi pada awal2 tu was2 jugak, takut peragut ke perompak nak ambil kesempatan.) In the meantime, I was praying that other vehicles will notice our car and I wont be experiencing the same thing I had 3 years ago.

Tow-truck service under AmInsurance sucks! I repeat, tow-truck service under AmInsurance sucks! We called several times, and no one answered. Hell with the 24-hour service you proudly mentioned. In the end, we called tow-truck bebas. RM130 melayang. at 12am, he arrived.

During that 30mins, my mind was racing on so many things. I wasnt sure whether to sit in the car or waited outside with Joe. Takut sangat kalau ada kereta yang terlaju atau pemandu mabuk tak sempat nak elak kereta kami yang berada di emergency lane tu. (tapi baru nak masuk kul 12, orang baru nak pergi mabuk kot?) Then I worried kalau tiba2 ada perompak on motorbike datang rompak kami. Ada ke kenderaan yang nak datang menolong? semuanya laju2. So, I even hid my valuables somewhere in the car. Polis peronda takde la pulak time tu.. Serius takut..

Joe jaga traffic supaya kenderaan elak lane terlibat.
Gambar blur sebab tangan terketar2.
I'm sure Joe was feeling the same way, but him being a guy, semua tu tak terpancar di mukanya. Yang wanita dalam kereta ni yang panik terlebih.

Dalam tempoh 30min itu juga, sempat fikir draf email nak hantar ke ambank insurance. Lepas tu, sempat fikir apa yang sepatutnya ada kalau keadaan begini berlaku. Maka terhasillah ini:

Sebelum keluar memandu, pastikan:
1. Fon ada battery
2. Nombor telefon emergency bukan sahaja ada dalam fon, tapi ade di dalam kereta
3. Ade segitiga emergency tu
4. Torchlight
5. Memandu bukan sekadar memandu, wajib tahu nama jalan. Kalau tak, macam mane nak bagitau tow-truck.
6. Berpakaian molek. In case emergency macam ni, kalau bert-shirt+kain batik je, ha, naya..

Kereta selamat sampai di depan rumah mama.
So now I am, still freshly awake at 3am akibat saki baki terlebih rembesan adrenalin sebentar tadi.

Housemate kesayangan saya terus tidur balik2 tadi.. Hmmmmm.. Ada lagi ke pusat servis yang nak baiki kereta suntuk2 nak raya ni?? Kalau major problem, alamatnya raya KL jer lah or balik Batu Gajah naik Kenari comel saya tu :D

Apa pun, alhamdulillah tiada sebarang kejadian yang tidak diingini berlaku...
