Tell me a bedtime story..

Sleeping late last night watching Supernatural marathon at astro's new channel 809. The channel is airing old drama series such Buffy, Roswell, X-files and Invasion. Anyway, Buffy and Roswell bring back old memories.

Bro In-Law was coming to visit this morning so I woke up early and did some cleaning. Thought of sorting up the newspaper which is one of my favourite cleaning housechore. Sorting 2feet tall of old newspaper may need about half a day because I'll end up reading the articles, cutting interesting recipes (which I never tried doing) and the 'Mind Your Language' section in The Star.

However, sorting newspaper this morning turned out to be yucky when I discovered thousands of TERMITES making new kingdom at my stack of old newspaper. So, it took only 15mins to do the sorting which was the fastest. I burned some of the newspaper with thousands of termites. I know we shouldn't be burning any of the Lord's creature but that thing was creeping me up.

Went to KLCC to watch Bedtime Stories. Adam Sandler is Mr.Joe's favourite actor and it was Mr.Joe's time to select his movie. Bedtime Stories was OK. Funny and light.

Sick of eating fastfood, we decided to eat satay Sahmuri at Taman Melati. When we reached there, I changed my mind and decided to eat Thai Food instead. We saw Restoran Rumah Thai and went there for our lunch. The romantic looking restaurant disappoint me. I was imagining light romantic music but Mawi's reception was on the TV. We were the only customer and we knew why when we ate the food. It paid, I only liked the Apple Asam Boi drink.

On my way back, received an sms from an unknown number:

Ya, boleh tak dtg anta handphone, mp3, bank book and alarm clock.Boring giler kat cni.

Yeah,Lil'Bro Wan sms'ing already. Ma was so excited to see his baby son all botak. So she went there with Bro Pian. hmmph, it's been like only a day he's gone. Anyway, I kinda miss him already. No more teman to watch America's Next Top Model with me. I'll sms u who win for this cycle k Bro Wan?

Bro Wan yang braceface and botak. Sungguh tak hensem =)

Take care Lil'Brother..

Bro Wan registered his PLKN intake 6/2009 today. It's kinda hard to believe that Lil'Bro Wan is turning 18 next February. He is always gonna be my baby brother even how old he is. We differ 7 years. When he 1st started his primary, I was 14. I was the one accompanying him to school everyday till he was old enough to go on his own. Since I didn't attend boarding school, he was with me even when I went back home everyday with my so-called bf that time.

Last night he was packing his stuff for today n I shared my tiny bit experience during DPA outdoor module. When he get back 3months later, we may have something similar to share about.

I gave him a bottle of sunblock . I've peeled the outside sticker. and it looks just like a common moisturizer bottle. A sister will always be a sister I tell u. Thought of giving him many other things but it may embarrass him pulak. Lelaki meterosexual mane lar yang join PLKN ni.

Thanx to a friend of mine at MINDEF, Bro Wan managed to get Kem Temasya Rimba Templer, Rawang. A short distance from home. Easier for Ma to visit his baby son during the weekends.

Bro Wan n friend registering

Lots of people at Kajang Bus Station

Gossip Girl=Beverly Hills 90210+One Tree Hill+Gilmore Girls

I have finished watching Gossip Girl season 1 and season 2.. Not bad.. The typical teenage drama thing.. Anyway, I still think One Tree Hill is the best though.. Maybe because I still so much in love with Lucas Scott..

Bro Pian downlo@ded the whole season.. Ch701 and Ch711 seems useless now.. Except for The Amazing Race, CSIs, House and America's Next Top Model, I don't see the big difference of Astro and the free tv channels..

The free channels had long finished Bones, Desperate Housewives and The OC.. One Tree Hill stopped at year 3.. Room Raiders keep repeating the old ones..

Anyway, can't wait for Gossip Girl year 3.. I think Lily went for abortion-the child with Rufus.. Rufus and Lily didn't go for the vacation they planned.. Jenny is so much like Blair, only that she didn't notice..

Nate is actually very cute but I hate him getting back with Vanessa so fast after confessing his feelings to Jenny.. Serena should wear longer skirt..pendek giler sume skirt dia.. I envy those long legs she has though..hmm..

Gossip Girl will be like one of those drama who loses all the spices when it reaches year3 and so on.. Year 3 will be their 1st year at college, hopefully there's some big progress in one of them.. Like One Tree Hill, Nathan and Haley getting married and having a baby..

~At 24 and still into teenage drama

A guy named Joe..

Some1 whom I had lunch with a few days back said about this blog which was not updated for quite sometime..

Geez, that's me..
There's always something came up whenever I wanted to write a new entry, or I ran out of words and ideas..
Anyway, I'm not on leave today..Accompanying Joe to work..I should update my blog..

Joe is Wan's name back during his study days in KMS and UKM.. I laughed the 1st time he told me about it long ago.. And this name was brought up again when he met some of his friends in FB last week with some pictures of him back then..

Joe, u looked so innocent in those pics.. Bak kate Lin, "wajah penuh keremajaan and suci"..For those who have FB and friend with Joe, have a look at it..hehehehe.. Jangan marah k abg Joe..

Or should I post the picture here?? Hehehehe

What have I done..

I couldnt sleep..

Meddling with the templates.. And I accidently lost all the list of blogs I followed.. *sigh*
I'm not the pinky type of person. But this template looks nice.. =)

Awan Dania..

I'm at home enjoying my EL now.. Not feeling well but I refused to go to the clinic, waiting a few hours to get an MC..
I was watching this drama at Astro-Awan Dania.. A drama similar to this Jap Drama called Attention Please. The main character of this Awan Dania was trying too hard to be a mischievous kind of person which is not working at all..

It was irritating instead. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against M'sian dramas.. I do watch some of them, kinda a lot though.. But I hate drama yang ciplak karya orang lain.. Tengok la Attention Please, then you'll know what I mean..

~I miss the Japs Drama marathon thing

Geli2..

Eversince I have this knee pain, I dont use toilet cangkung anymore. Yang peliknye kan kat Malaysia ni, even how clean the toilet duduk is, mesti ada orang nak bercangkung atas toilet duduk.

Gila ape?

If nak mancangkung atas toilet duduk, nape tak pilih toilet cangkung jer?
Katakan lar geli sesangat nak letak peha gebu atas toilet seat tu kan, tak boleh ke letak tisu lapik atas tu ker dulu?? Toilet faberet sentiasa dicemari dengan shoe print yang tak boleh lagi dihilangkan oleh cleaner..

Lagi satu fakta menggelikan, ramai betul mereka yang keluar dari toilet tak basuh tangan. Walaupun tiada sanitizer, at least it is so much better than not washing at all!!!

Saya ni OCD sikit. Kali pertama tengok contoh spesimen air bawah mikroskop, saya dah geli2 tengok mikroorganisma yang berjuta2 lemon tu..

~Mandi dengan air dettol mase modul luar DPA. Baru rase fresh and bersih

Not enough..

While I was driving this morning, I heard from the radio that sex education during PLKN will be revised.

Generally, the purpose of sex education is to prevent the increasing case of illegal abortion and abandoning babies in the trash.. However, the community concerns that the education alone won't be enough to prevent all these problems. It will only induce the sex activity among the teenagers without getting preggie.

I learned that particular education from my secondary syllabus. No, my parents never thought me anything about this at all. I was 1st introduced to that thing during Form3's Science subject. It got deeper when I learn Biology.

My Biology teacher even asked the female students to draw the male's reproduction system and vice versa. She showed us condom, the birth control pills, how IUD is done. Tapi takla sampai tahap menyarungkan kondom pada pisang seperti dalam cerita Never Been Kissed ;)

Then it got more complicated when learning Biology during Matrix where I never got an A for that subject. Anyway, for those who don't take Biology for SPM, they still learn that in their SPM's Science subject. I had flipped through the science book and I discovered that Science subject for art students is just a combination of Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects.

The sex education is already in the syllabus. The male and female reproduction system, how women get preggie, knowing the STDs, ways to control pregnancy, ways to conceive. Everyone learns that. It was just not called Sex Education.

The sad thing about this is, it happens among the Malay, the so-called Muslim..

Nauzubillah hi minzalik..

Spending $$$$

Seriously I need to buy a new handphone..
Eversince my phone was thrown during the accident a year ago, it's getting crazier and uglier..

Mine is a flip phone. I always slept on my phone with the flip opened.. It has all this big cracks at the join part..I guess, one day I'll wake up with my phone broken to 2 pieces..hehehe..

My ideal handphone is as slim and light as can be.. Easier to fit into my handbag..
I don't go for all the hi-tech gadget in it.. I just need the camera, mp3, sms, mms and application to write notes because my memory thing is getting rustier each day..

I am doing my personal budgeting for year 2009 now..
I have about RM150 extras each month after excluding all the expenses and savings..

I guess, if I managed to restrain myself from buying any accessories (clothes, handbags, shoes) for 6 months, I'll buy myself a new handphone as a birthday present..

Achievable? =)

~2009's wish list..

Depressed...

I need a time break...
Feels like running away to a secluded place and have no interaction with the outside world..

A friend once told me, keeping things to yourself and trying to please everyone around you will only hurt yourself in the end.. Yeah, it's true..

~Owh, my puffy eyes...

Melancholy....

It's just freaking sad when you tried to do something nice and the other person misunderstood for the other way round..

Then, just might else well keep things as usual because all you did are misapprehended as hurting the other person's ego..

Sigh..

I lurve weekends...

It's now 4.25 in the morning..

Since I slept quite early last nite, thought of waking up early to pack my clothes..
Leaving for PD later this afternoon..

I hate, I hate...

There is this workshop organized by my Dept.. Short notice were given to me which I have to substitute this other officer. Then I wanted to upgrade my room so that I can bring Ma along but they told me everything was fixed and nothing can be changed..

I've already made my plan to spend time with Ma this weekend. Thought of waking up a bit late and bermalas2an sms'ing Wan at 5am on Saturday morning like usual.

Mlsnyer...........

BTW, the hotel's name is Hotel Le Paris.. hehehe

Am still here, loved and beloved..

No wonder today's date seems so familiar..

A year ago, an accident nearly killed me.. If I wasnt lucky enough and that day was the day I should leave this world, I may have landed just a few feet from the kerb then I was gone..

I wouldnt be lying on my bed, listening to Anuar Zain's songs and typing this entry with a glistening engagement ring on my ring finger..

When you are at the brink of death, even you have only a few seconds to think, everything in your life gushes through your mind like a movie without a sound. People you love, things you've done, memories with the loved ones. Then you'll be wishing for another chance to live or maybe just an opportunity to see the one you love for one last time to tell them how much you love them.

The accident had made me to be more appreciative in life. I can control my temper better now. When I'm getting angry with anyone, I will think what if this is the last time you'll meet that person.

Talking about temper, I always remember this story Ma told me long ago. About a father telling his bad tempered son on how to control his temper. The father gave his son a wooden board and a box of nail.

Everytime the son got angry, the father asked him to embed a nail on the board. But each time he managed to control his temper and apologize, he can pull a nail from the board. Later, the board was fulled with nails. The son realized how many people he had hurt so he's trying to control his temper. Nails on the board were getting lesser each day.

And one day, there was no nail at all. He excitedly showed his father the board. The father asked him to feel the board with his fingers. And the father said, you had hurt people around you when you got angry but later you apologized. However, everytime you got angry, you actually left a scar in their hearts like the holes in the board. (Lebih kurang macma tu lah ceritanya :)

Anyway, life is short. You'll never know when is your time to go.

So love everyone in your life and live the life the way you are asked to, to the fullest.

I dont cook..

I just ate this delicious mee goreng cooked by Ma..

Amazingly, she can cook it in barely 15 mins.. One time I heard the lesung banging and 10mins later when I went to the kitchen, there it was packed it the brown paper nasi lemak style..

Ma really amazes me on how she manages to cook a few dishes at 1 time..
When I tried to do the same, one ended hangus and the other ended up tak sedap...
30 over years of experiences may have made her efficient in doing so, but still some people stay at the same stage..

Ma likes to modify anything she learned from the book or the cooking show according to her taste and ours..
Her spaghetti has cili padi in it and not as sour as the Italian style.. But we love it so much ;)

I'm still in the process of learning how to cook.. When I was in my Uni years, I used to do the cooking thing quite a lot when I went back home during weekends.. But I noticed that I haven't done much ever since.. Especially after I went back from DPA.. Hmmph, not good..

I will be a wife in less than a year.. Ma said, I should be preparing myself from now on..

For now, when I'm so tired after the long journey back home from the office, I can just lay down and fall asleep waking up the next morning not affecting anyone.. Ma is there to do the cooking and the house thing.. But later when I have a husband and a home to take care of, even how tired I am, the duty is mine as a wifey..

Anyway, to my dear future husband,
Just want you to know that,
I love to clean and tidy things up but cooking is not my thing..
I can cook but I cant promise you that it'll turn nice all the time..
I have a very severe PMS every month which will make me into a very cranky and sensitive person..
I hate people who mess things around the house like leaving the sugar jar opened..
I have migraine when I don't eat my meal on time..
I cannot siang the fish because it'll make my hands itchy..hehehe
And to be a the good wife is my promise to you...

Temuduga...

Saya pergi temuduga tapisan keselamatan tadi.. Luckily, KKM takde soalan di Parlimen, takdelah rase bersalah for leaving my partner all alone kat Parlimen..

Neway, semua yang korang kate soalan temuduga tapisan keselamatan tu kacang, dusta belaka sebab soalan2 saya macam nak interview masuk kerja..

Beberapa contoh soalan:

1. Apa itu definisi Rahsia?
2. Apa yang anda faham dengan Akta Rahsia Rasmi?

(Oh, saya sungguh tidak ada ayat exam..Cuma boleh terangkan secara bahasa pasar)

Then after soalan2 tentang peribadi (termasuk lah no.IC tunang ;), datanglah soalan2 yang bagi saya, saya rela lagi disuruh berdiri tegak and baca Rukun Negara seperti yang Mala buat semasa menemuduga orang..hehehe

1. Apakan pandangan anda terhadap senario politik Malaysia?
2. Apakah yang menjadi kebimbangan anda terhadap keadaan politik Malaysia masa kini?
3. Bagaimana hubungan anda dengan rakan bangsa lain? Boleh berikan 2 nama rakan yang bukan berbangsa Melayu.

Dan 5-6 lagi soalan yang lebih kurang macam tu...

Untunglah saya dah pergi BTN, and semua jawapan adalah ayat2 fasilitator BTN..

Ayoyo...
Adakah ini soalan2 tricky untuk menguji saya berada di pihak mana?
Or adakah ini nak menguji how discreetly I am in giving my opinions?
I was in there for 45 mins!!! Sampai Emma, my pengadil cakap, "Pesal ko lama sangat dating dalam tu.." And Emma went in there afterward merely 15mins..

Ma telah menakutkan saya dengan mengatakan I should have said,

I am entitled to my own opinions and I would not disclose them to anyone..

Waaa, saya kini sudah takut..
Should I or should I not tell him what I've been asked?
Korang rasa ni soalan2 trick ker?

Sebelum ditemuduga as calon, saya berpengalaman jadi pengadil Emma Khamis lepas..
Again, soalan2 THE BOMB..

Apakah kekuatan beliau?
Adakah beliau seorang yang suka memimpin atau dipimpin?
Apakah beliau seorang pemimpin yang baik?
Bagaimana beliau memimpin sesuatu kumpulan?
Adakah beliau layak memegang jawatan sekarang?

Wow, my mind was not prepared for those sort of questions.. Tapi goreng sajelah..

Hmm, I'm worried...

Yang takutnya, Tuan ASP tu senyum jer sepanjang2 saya copy-paste hujah2 fasilitator BTN.. Tak tahu nak jangka saya cakap salah atau tidak... How he sees me when I'm saying all those things..

Takuuuuuutttttttnyer..................

Murderer..

Yer, pagi tadi saya telah melakukan massacre terhadap sekumpulan semut api di atas meja saya dengan melekat2 mereka di salotep..

Yucks, semut api beribu2 lemon di tong sampah..
Bila dikorek2 tong sampah itu, hanya lah ade kulit gula2 and APPLE CORE..
Senegara semut2 api itu telah mengadakan party besar2an di tong sampah saya..

Masalahnya dengan pasukan cleaner di KKM ini, pekerja2nya banyak lari and kekurangan staff..
Sepertimana masalah taman perumahan di Kajang yang Alam Flora hanya mengutip sampah sekali seminggu, begitulah yang dihadapi di Bhgn saya ini juga..

Pagi tadi lalu Pantry Room, wekkkk,(jadi macam Farah kejap..) Busuk amat2 tong sampahnyer.. Bayangkanlah sampah2 makanan yang tak dikutip 2 hari masa cuti hari minggu.. Eeeee, memang busuk gilers...

Dulu vacuum tiap hari, sekarang memang seminggu sekali.. And di tempat kerani tu akan ada salji2 bulat hasil dari menebuk lubang kertas.. Sigh..

Sampai biler keadaan ini akan berterusan...

~kadang2 pelik, takleh ke tebuk kertas tu menghala ke dalam wastebin?

Yaya (T) = Yaya Tembam..

Ini bakal suami saya :)

Lelaki oh lelaki..

See this empty bottle..
You'll see this thing will remain empty for the next few days..

Don't know what happen to the guys here in my office.
They just doesn't have the initiative to get things done without being asked.
I got irritated because I need to go all the way in front to clear my thirst, so I change this thing myself.. Saya angkat botol 5 gelen ini dan menukarnye..

Tak percaya?
Tak kuasa dah everytime dah kosong, nak suruh orang tukar..

Tau, tau, perempuan tak sepatutnya angkat benda berat2.. Tapi balak mase kat Ulu Kinta tu jauh lebih berat dari botol ni..

Ini ialah jarak perjalanan nya.. Aderla dlm 10m..

I always change this early in the morning.. Maybe I should do this during semua guy's staff ade. Baru lar mereka rasa tercabar. Tak gitu?

Woi, nak dapat pahala kene buat senyap2 ar... hahahaha

Romance, do they last?

It's almost 10 and I haven't touch anything on my desk today.. Ouch..

Anyway, I have finished reading Mitch Albom's, For One More Day and reading another by Nicholas Sparks, Dear John..

Call me a sentimentalist for I used to be a sucker for romance novel. English romance novel. Having sisters 8, 7 and 4 years older, I first started reading Judith McNaught when I was 10 when I saw they were so engrossed with it. Lots of thing I didn't understand that time but I just cont on reading and rereading all over again when I get older.

Then, I was lost in Jeffrey Archer's. I finished reading As the Crow Flies in just 2 days. Lecture notes were put away and time were spent reading Archer's novels that I borrowed from the library.

After Uni years, I noticed that I haven't read much.. Most of the time were spent 'SMS'ing Wan..Hehehe.. Till now..

Mitch Albom's For One More Day is as good as Tuesdays With Morrie. A simple book with deep, strong words that touches your heart. For those who have issues with their mothers, I suggest you read this book. Then you'll realize a mother's sacrifices you have long forgotten..

I always like Nicholas Spark's.. Romance novel written from a man's point of view differs from the usual McNaught's, Steel's, Garwood's, Deveroux's and many others.

Talking about romance and stuff, I was rummaging a box inside my cupboard a few days back. Things from my past, cards, dried flowers, eccentric notes passed during classes, autograph books and this letter I received when I was 14 from a secret admirer.

I was popular in school for being the pure, obedient and excel student. The summary for that is a NERD..haha.. But my clique during that time were from those who were popular-because-they-are-pretty type of people.. Nerd nerd pun, I had a very hunky boyfriend mase tu tau..hehehe..

Therefore it was something bizarre for receiving letter from a secret admirer because I was just a boringplainjane during school years. The words in it were nicely formed that made me terawang2 when I read it..hahaha.. He even wrote "I like u" all over my table and on the blackboard..

The secret admirer asked to meet but I didn't show up. Then everything stopped..

But I still kept his letter for remembrance ;)

Wan never wrote me a love letter. He's a man who doesn't write but he had done and said so many lovely things..

When I was going away for OBS, he waited till the bus was no longer seen.

He surprised me on the morning I was leaving for Tentera Module and waited till the bus left.

He is willing to stroll in the rain to get me things.

He wakes up early everyday because he needs to arrive at my house to pick me up to work.

He sings in the phone to cheer me up..

Surprises me with flowers and gifts..

Concerns when I'm not eating my meal on time because I'll have migraine later..

And yesterday, when I said, "Air bandung ni manis sangat lar"
He replied spontaneously, "Manis lagi gefren abg".. Awwwwwww.....

Nonie said this honeymoon years I'm having now will finally comes to an end, because the guy will no longer bother to do all those things anymore.. Hmmm...

But I have seen couples who remain having romantic relationship even after 20 years of marriage. The hubby calls and texts when they are apart, flourish with cheeky notes and gifts..
I guess, they are the lucky ones.. And that relationship does exist..

~Praying for the best..

Forgive me, for I have sinned..

I have sinned for wasting time today ;)

This is Ron.. Given to me by a darling friend of mine on my birthday last year..
The card wrote :

Yaya,
You're sweet, kind and charming.
You're simply one in a million.

Nice words eh.. Told you he's a charmer..

My birthday fell on a public holiday last year, so Ron was placed on my table a few days before..

I get to know this friend during PTD Unggul. We're in the same LDK and end up in the same Ministry.. A nice friend to be with.. He speaks his mind (dengan sgguh emosi kdg2 ;), he reads and we think alike.. (kan, kan ;)

Although we don't talk much anymore and spending less time together, u r one of a kind. Dont work too hard ya. Nanti makin kurus..

Keep on being a charmer =)
