Flying Without Wingzzz....

Cool Wednesday - I like. How I wish I'm in bed now snuggled comfortably under the comforter. Auwww... *dreamy* I wonder why my boss left early - as early as 11am. Hmmph! Tak aci lah. Ako keje dia balik. Oh...well! He's the boss. Anyway, cool weather cause the mind to wander. Evil plan up the sleeve again. *naik kan kening* When it rains, I love to be in bed. Not just sleeping. More than that. I wanna roll on the bed, messed up the bed sheet, played the PS, watch VCDs/DVDs, listening to the music, read a book, surf the net on my notebook, cross stitching, crocheting & the list goes on & on. That's provided I dun have the urge to visit the loo. I love to be indoor. If I've to leave the bed, & stayed indoor? Err...cant really think much to do aside from cleaning the house & perhaps, consider doing a spring cleaning. Doing a spring clean on normal days tends to make me sweat & sneeze non-stop. Hmmm..... weird me. Oh yes! When it rains, I LOVE to be alone. Just me in the house. No one else. But too bad, I'm in the office the whole of the day. What other things can be done other than working & attending to Client's request & endure with all the pests in the office. *sigh* Then, the eyes look hopeful at the clock to tick to 6pm. Duh~!! The time seems to crawl on rainy days. Why ah?

Voila! Finally, my IE browser has recovered & is up & running. *laju giler!!* What a day to spend at work. Figuring out where the fault lies. Spent almost a whole day cleaning, reformatting & configuring. Hip Hip Hurray!!

Wondering what happen to blogger this time. I was unable to update my entries since Saturday. All was normal - sign-in, create post...... till I discovered that I wasnt able to type anything in the box. Asked around a few bloggers whether they'd the same problem. Only 1 responded that she'd problem going in to blogger. Fine! I wrote in again to blogger to seek assistance. Meanwhile, I tried saving an empty entry. It works! But it just wont allow me to type a character. Hmmm.......now I wonder where does the fault lies? Oh yeah! I did encounter problem with pop-ups when I went blog hopping to a few blogs. I'd be prompted with an error while the blog page is loading. Then, I see this - "Page unable to display". Weird right? Sometimes its ok sometimes it's not. I called my MIS to check out if my IE is ok but he was too busy to attend to my query. Never mind, perhaps he'd do it tomorrow. I'll just hope that blogger will recover asap......

Psst! If you've been wondering how I managed to update this entry, it's because I'm typing from home. I suspect the problem could lie in my office IE browser. Will see if I'm right tomorrow...

These days news of pregnancy is everywhere. Suddenly everyone is pregnant at the same time. That’s good news. It seems to coincide with the rise of the new PM & the new maternity package. *applaud* Working mom-to-be can now look forward to it.. Those who’ve been trying unsuccessfully don’t fret. I know how it feels like to have been trying to conceive. At times, it felt like an uphill battle as well as an emotional journey to achieve that ultimate goal to have a baby. I’ve always believed that our turn will come soon. Keep on trying. Insya-Allah, when it comes it’ll come - it’s just a matter of time. Meanwhile, enjoy each other’s companion, cherished the time spent together, pamper each other, go on frequent honeymoon trips, shopping, going for late movies together etc etc etc... Enjoy marriage life just like during the courting days. Who knows when Junior comes along you might not be able to do all these in privacy or even have time for your spouse. Jr’s presence will one way or another take away all the “carefree lifestyles” you used to have together. Jr will now be the center of attention & someday, either one will feel neglected. Ever heard the saying “2s a couple 3s a crowd”? Not to say that the Jr is a hindrance to get intimate. But just to bring up the spirit of those who’s pretty down with the ‘negative’ result they’ve got. Get yourself equipped by reading articles on pregnancy. I have the support of close friends who’re in the same boat. We kept ourselves going & gave words of encouragement. It’s best that we get ourselves prepared physically & mentally. Probably, we’ll have to re-look at our diet & food intake before considering having a baby. Both have a role to play. Change your diet if need be. Take vitamins & supplements as recommended by your gynae. Avoid stress as it may cause hormonal imbalance & thus, further cause you to have difficulty in conceiving. Turn deaf ears to what the people around have to say about you. You don’t owe your life to them neither are they gonna pay for all your hospital bills that’ll amount later. As usual, saying is easier than done. But you still have to make an effort to make it happen, right? So cheer up & look to the brighter side of things around you. There’s a lot more to be done than sit around & brood “ when’s my turn? When’s my turn?”. Have a nice day,


Psst! Suddenly, I’ve got the inspiration to write these while watching a documentary on C.N.A at 2pm just now & then I started to reflect back on the discussions we had where of my fellow friends who have been longing to have a baby of their own after waiting for so long. Kesian kan? So I hope to boost their self-esteem by writing this & hope they’ll feel better.

To all preggy mummies - CONGRATULATIONS!!

Something worth sharing .........

Subject: Pearls of Wisdom: Letting Go

LETTING GO: There is only one person in this world that can make you feel lousy, depressed, sad,angry...etc. The person is YOU.

Dr Alan Zimmerman's Comments:

Sooner or later, everyone you know will disappoint you in some way.They'll say something or fail to say something that will hurt you. And they'll do something or fail to do something that will anger you.

It's inevitable.

Unfortunately, you make things worse when you stew over someone's words and deeds. When you dwell on a rude remark or an insensitive action made by another person, you're headed for deeper problems.

In fact, the more you dwell on these things, the more bitter you'll get.

You'll find your joy, peace and happiness slipping away. And you'll find your productivity slowing down as you spend more and more time thinking about the slight or telling others about it.

Eventually, if you don't stop doing it, you'll even get sick.

So what should you do the next time someone betrays you?

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FEELINGS. Even though the other person may be at fault, even though the other person wronged you, you are still responsible for your own feelings.

In other words, other people do not "cause" your feelings. You choose them.

For example, two different people could be told that their suggestions made at the staff meeting were "stupid and idiotic." One person may "choose" to feel so hurt that he never speaks up at any other meeting again. The other person may "choose" to feel sorry for the critic, sorry that the critic couldn't see the wisdom and necessity of her suggestions.

As long as you blame other people for your feelings, as long as you believe other people caused your feelings, you're stuck. You're a helpless victim.

But if you recognize the fact that you choose your feelings and you are responsible for your feelings,there's hope. You can take some time to think about your feelings. And you can decide what is the best thing to say or do.

Then, you've got to learn to WALK AWAY FROM DISAPPOINTMENT. It's difficult to do, but it's possible. The famous 19th century Scottish historian,
Thomas Carlyle, proved that.

After working on his multi-volume set of books on "The French Revolution" for six years, Carlyle completed the manuscript and took volume one to his friend John Stuart Mill. He asked Mill to read it.

Five days later, Mill's maid accidentally threw the manuscript into the fire. In agony, Mill went to Carlyle's house to tell him that his work had been destroyed.

Carlyle did not flinch. With a smile, he said, "That's all right, Mill.These things happen. It is a part of life. I will start over. I can remember most of it, I am sure. Don't worry.It's all here in my mind. Go, my friend! Do not feel bad."

As Mill left, Carlyle watched him from the window.

Carlyle turned to his wife and said, "I did not want him to see how crushed I am by this misfortune." And with a heavy sigh, he added,"Well the manuscript is gone, so I had better start writing again."

Carlyle finally completed the work, which ranks as one of the great classics of all time. He had learned to walk away from his disappointment.

After all, what could Carlyle have done about his burnt manuscript?

Nothing. Nothing would have resurrected the manuscript. All Carlyle could do was to get bitter or get started. And what can you do about anything once it is over? Not much. You can try to correct it if it is possible, or you can walk away from it if it isn't.

Those are your only two choices.

Sometimes you've just got to shake it off and step up. It's like the farmer who had an old mule who fell into a deep dry well. As he assessed the situation, he knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to lift the heavy mule out of the deep well.
So the farmer decided to bury the mule in the well.

After all, the mule was old and the well was dry, so he could solve two problems at once. He could put the old mule out of his misery and have his well filled. The farmer asked his neighbours to help him with the shovelling. To work they went. As they threw shovel-full of dirt after shovel-full of dirt on the mule's back, the mule became frightened.

Then all of a sudden an idea came to the mule. Each time they would throw a shovel-full of dirt on his back, he would shake it off and step up.

Shovel-full after shovel-full, the mule would shake it off and step up. In not too long a time, the exhausted and dirty mule stepped over the top of the well and through the crowd.

That's the same approach we all need to take. We need to shake it off and step up Finally, you need to FORGIVE. It's difficult, especially when the other person doesn't deserve your forgiveness or doesn't even seek it. It's difficult when the other person is clearly in the wrong.

Part of the difficulty comes from a common misunderstanding of forgiveness.

Forgiveness doesn't mean that the other person's behaviour is okay. And forgiveness doesn't mean that the other person is off the hook. He's still responsible for his misbehaviour. Forgiveness is about letting yourself off the emotional hook. It's about releasing your negative emotions, attitudes, and behaviours. It's about letting go of the past so you can go forward to the future.

Everyone in your life, everyone on and off the job is going to disappoint you. If you know how to respond to those situations, you'll be way ahead of most people. You'll be able to live above and beyond your circumstances.

Action:

Identify two people that have disappointed, hurt, or angered you. If possible, select two people towards whom you still have some bitterness.

Then ask yourself, "How does my bitterness serve me? Am I happier holding on to it? Do I sleep better? Is my life richer, fuller, and better because of my bitterness?"

If you find that your bitterness is hurting you, make a decision. Actually decide to let it go.

Walk away from the disappointment -- which means you no longer dwell on it or talk about it.

Conclusion:

There is so much truth in it. (From personnal experiences) It's human nature to allow hurt to dwell in our heart esp when we are wrongly accused for things we are not guilty.

I believe this will indeed encourage many inclusive ourselves who might have gone through such crisis and scenario ,to start to pick up our life again and not let bitterness eats into our flesh. Agree?

Yiiippppeeeee..............its FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Finally, weekends are here. Hmmm.... plans to go JB with my PIL has been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. But fret not... my dad has other plan as back-up. I'm unaware of it though till mom told me this morning. "nak gi mana eh?? gi sopping ker???" woohooo!! I loikeeee............I dreaded working hard today. I mean I dont like work that is taxing to my brain on Fridays but my "bodo" boss kept bugging me. Duh~!! Menyebok betol ah deknie..... Anyway, since the work load is not too much, I toggle between screens - MSN, emails, reports, blog, access, words, excel. Fuiyoo!! Busy screen pc ako nie. Had a rollin' good time MSN-ing wif her catching up the 'ol good days we used to have when we first gotta know each other. How time flies! She's a momma now & I'm married. While the rest of the gang members whom we used to hang out with have built their own family. Each of us has lost touch since then. True to what she says in her entry. I'll just have to agree. There seems to have a lot of adjustments & commitments to make once you get hitched. The single ones will feel that they no longer gain the same attention as before. Time flies & people change. That's fact of life. But hey! we can still keep in touch now that communication is make easy anywhere, anytime. Just a matter of whether you've gotta time to spare. Oh yes!! Kinda like this email which I received & I'm sharing it here.....

1 - Live to relax!

2 - Love your bed, it is your temple!

3 - Relax in the day, so that you can sleep at night!

4 - Work is holy, so don't attack it!

5 - Don't do something tomorrow, that you can do the day afterwards!

6 - Work as little as possible. Let the others do what needs to be done!

7 - Don't worry, nobody died from doing nothing, but you could get hurt at work!

8 - If you feel like doing work, sit down and wait until that feeling goes away!

9 - Don't forget: working is healthy! So leave it for the sick people!

I'm down with a very bad headache the whole of today. Cant get to sleep early enough that I'd to seek my hubby's help to massage my head. *Untungnya da bersuami.... ekekeke* Guess I exert myself too much at work. :( Wondering when the month will come to an end so that my boss will stop bugging me to keep updating him on the reports progress. He's always working "off-site" whereas I'm stuck here in the office churning out inputs for him. *shux!* Anyway, I've something to look forward today. You could be right as tonite is "Dia" day....... Here comes the synopsis.

Damn! My blog is still down since yesterday. Wonder what happens. Went bloghopping to check out if any of the bloggers experiencing the same. It looks like she also had the same problem when I went over to check out hers. Thus, I'm not alone. I discovered that most of the blogs I visited had strange popups on their blog. Whats happening?!?! Is the blog infected with virus or what? The unlucky ones like me were unable to access their blog but thanx to blogger which is still "surviving". I can still update my entry but just unable to publish & view it. I've already wrote in to blogger help support for assistance. Still waiting for their reply. Looks like its a BIG problem somewhere. Let's just hope it'd be rectified soon........

Oh yes! To all Muslim bloggers, SELAMAT MENYAMBUT KEDATANGAN BULAN REJAB!!

Uh-oh! Making assumptions & false accusations against a person is bad when you dunno head or tail. Made worst if one insist to hear story from only a party's view. Hmmm.... that makes them a bad judge. Eyyy....who are you to tell they're a bad or good judge...let them be. So how do you react / handle such situations? Blew your top & retort back with sarcasm? No...no...that shows you're being defensive & do you think they'll believe you? Fat hope. Then what? Keep quiet & pretend nothing happen? Ermm....not quite but still considerable. At least, that shows you respect the freedom of speech & thoughts. At least, that shows you are not an attention seeker. One who expects people to listen & believe what you say. You cant stop them from talking dah penat berhenti lah mereka itu. You talk too much, you could be carried way with your emotions & wouldnt know what you've blurted out. Remember? Berdiam bukan beerti kalah, berdiam juga tidak beerti bersalah. Berdiam untuk mengelakkan kekenduran keadaan menjadi lebih teruk. In this way, you win nothing neither would you lose anything. Especially, if you knew your chances of proving yourself NOT GUILTY is slim, then resort to let the situations cool down & let it past. What's the point of retaliating when you knew the other party against you will not give you any chances for explaining yourself. Worse to worse they'll see you as pathetic. iskh...iskh...iskh..... Allah grant us with brain to think. He's there to to give you solace. Pray to Him for directions if you find yourself at dead end. Let the truth be out not from your own mouth. Allah Maha Mengetahui.... Sometimes it's hard to please people but you aint an angel to please everyone. Before you see faults in others, reflect your own mistakes. That's the best cos' only then you know what you've done that have made them furious. Never wrongly accused a person for something you aint sure. Itu fitnah namanya. You mustnt say what you din' hear with your own ears like ..... mouth & mind full of vulgarities? U sure you heard that person cursing before you? Right in front of you? How can you be sure the mind is full of vulgarities? You checked the person's brain? Hmmm..... mebbe you could be a doctor. Whatever it is.... let them say what they like. If its all untrue, they bear the consequences. Mom used to say, " if you're angry istighfar byk2...setan tuh semua keliling". Thanx mom, I'm learning to control myself now. In fit of fury, the mind is always unstable & unable to think what's right & whats wrong. Dont be bothered by what they've said. They think they're right? Let them be if that means giving them peace of mind & self-satisfaction. Why bother? You dont owe your life to them. You dont gain anything either by retorting back. There's always ways of solving such disputes but it all depends on the individuals whether to settle it peacefully or continue "bashing" one another. Consider it as a thing in the past & take it as a bitter lesson learnt the hard way. Let's just allow nature to take its course. Life has to go on with or without them.......

Sunday was a good day to catch up with the lost beauty sleep. Its a day to laze around the house & best time 2 b a potato couch. We had a VCD/DVD marathon. Lunch was simple - sardine in curry & sambal tumis ikan bilis. Mom & me had a good chatting session about the past. Hubby as usual out for his soccer session. Dad has to work to cover his colleague who's on leave. My bro busy setting up the DIY pc for my cousin. While watching TV, I massaged mom's leg. She told me "tak rasa je...." iskh.... I urut with full force & all my energy my mom sez "tak rasa?" I get up & says "err...da penat ah. nak go wash hands now".....kwa kwa kwa. While, the trio (mom, hubby & me) were watching a hilarious pirated vcd "Mario Mariono Bros", a neighbour-cum-relative suddenly appeared @ our doorway & gives salam. I had a shocked sampai melatah. Duh~!! She came at the wrong time when we were enjoying the light-hearted movie. Kelakar abes... she was there from 4pm - 6pm. Phooh!! Peh lama dia ajak my mum berbual. My mum wasnt in the mood to talk (esp. when she started gossiping) but she just merely listen & did showed a sign of disinterest. But it did not deter the grandma from blabbering... poor momma! The grandma initial visit was to request for my aunty's contact number, as she wanted to go for urut with her. But she ended up talking abt others. Sebok plak tuh tanya "belom berisi lagi?" So the-kepo! Weird ah this grandma. Last time, she called my aunt & when my aunt wasnt free to urut her she felt offended. Then she shunned her. Now, she came looking for my aunty for help..... *roll eyes*

We spent the day - shopping! We went to Wearness sale & got ourselves an mp3 player + 3-in1 player. We left feeling contented with what our cheap products. Sale is always good when you wanna save $$ especially during hard times. Thereafter, we proceeded to Mustafa Centre to shop for supplements & vitamins for the whole family. (Of all places why MC? cos its cheaper here......*LOL*) We pitied mom as she has been complaining of pain everytime she walked long distances. Her knee caps will swell or either that she'd have difficulty climbing up & down the stairs. Bought her a bottle of supplement for tissue repairs & bone before but she complained its too strong. It caused her to feel sleepy & she could feel extreme pain around the "troubled" areas. She dislikes milk but she forced herself to gulped down a glass of Anlene milk every morning. Good momma! *chucklez* It helps but not for long. Thus, I surfed the net & found supplements to suit her needs. Back at home, bottles of supplements lined up on the kitchen cabinet for the whole family consumption. I marked the dosage in marker on the cap for mom. As usual, I'll always have to remind everyone to take the pills. Haiz!! Kalo part obat jer....suma buat2 lupa except for my mom. Good momma! *chucklez*

Hurray!! Finally, weekends are here. As usual, took my own sweet time to come to office. I expected my boss to be in the meeting room with the MD. I stayed late yesterday just to complete the presentation slides for him. Hmmm.... the secretary's not in today. At least, there's some peace. Kalo tak pagi2 suara dia jer ako dengar....so the very noisy. Whole office can hear her voice. I think she used Dolby Digital Speaker ah. *chucklez* Initially, I thought she was talking to an Ah-Soh or Ah-Pek, but when I stole a glance.....cheyyy!! She's talking on the phone. HY msn me to ask if I wanted to tag along with her & Ah-Neh to go to Wearnes warehouse sale. They're getting items for the lucky draw. Hmmm..... sounds like a great idea. We took a cab there & were greeted with large crowds. Duh~!! Both Qs for payment & collection plus the showcase were packed with people. I guess they must have skipped their lunch to be here just like us. kwa kwa kwa....... HY & Ah-Neh were committee members & they're here to scout around for "nice..nice" gifts. Unfortunately, the mp3 player is out of stock but they managed to get 2 sets of the 3-in-1 player. We decided to split & Q up at both lines to save time. By the time we're done, it's already 1.30pm. We decided to get our lunch from the bridge & quickly sat down at the pantry to eat our lunch by 2pm. Tercekik-begik makan kelam kabut.....nasib baik tak kaputz... Broke news of the sale to my hubby & my best friend who lives few blocks away from the warehouse. Both were overcome with excitement. Yes!! We're going there tomorrow. I'm eyeing on the home theatre system for my mom & dad which they'd longed for. Insya-Allah, kalo ada rezeki lebih besok boleh beli....kalo tak kirim salam, next time can buy...... ekekekek

It has been a hectic day for me. I've been going in & out of Accounts Dept to clear outstanding issues. *sigh* I've to push myself to clear up the loads of paperwork. Guess what? I was on the phone when that rude secretary (who was on rounds collecting $$) shouted over to me for payment for the gift she bought for our MD newborn baby. I signalled to her nicely that I'll go over to her desk & she gave me that *&^%$#@ look. She shouted at me again for $10 when she can still see that I'm still hooked on the line. I really dislike to be shouted like that. Doesnt she has any manners? I dun mind if I'm having a personal call, but hey!! I'm talking to my Client mind you! Not enough, she dialled my mobile number numerous times through the office phone. I think she deserved a slap but nah! why should I dirtied my hands? Such a jerk!! Once off the phone, I went over to her & banged the money on her desk. I left without a word neither do I want to see her reaction thereafter. By this time, I was trying very hard to control my anger & my hands were cold & trembling. She's damn bias towards me. Its so obvious, when it comes to company gathering or whatever it is that involved food. She'd get me miserable HALAL food which will be shared with the others. I know it's really inconvenient to get a separate food for me the only Muslim here. I opt to be excluded from the gatherings but she insisted that its the "Management" orders (which she often used as a 'threat'). To save the trouble, just gimme the money & I get my own food otherwise dont buy at all. Geli kan tengok dorang makan...dah masuk mulut cekup2 makanan using the "dirtied" chopsticks. Dah tuh tamak plak, makanan berlambak2 makanan ako jugak dorang nak. Phooh! Peh menyirap darah ako macam nak meletup paler nie. Whatever it is , I really dun mind going without food, I know I wont starved but I just cant stand the secretary. Any documents that bears my name, dia macam geli nak pegang. Grrrr....

On a brighter note, a friend has sms to plan for a mini picnic with the others. Great idea! It's been sometime ago eversince we meet up with each other. Looking forward for the day to come.......

Synopsis of Dia.

Riyan, the-Isma-look-alike, was a salesman for women undergarments. He was amazed by the independence Dia showed. He loves meeting Eka & considered him as his friend as he has no siblings & lived with his mom. Eka has been talking & laughing alone eversince the railway track incident. He was saved from the tragic accident by Isma's soul. When Dia heard him laughing he claimed he was talking to 'Isma'. Dia was worried as she see no other in the room except them. Eka was injured due to his sprained ankle thus, he needs the aid of his crutches to move around. Hera suggested to Dia that she has to bring Eka to meet the psychologist. Dia insisted that Eka's condition is only temporary. Riyan reminded Dia of Isma & thus, she seek Hera's help to tell Riyan from coming over to her place. Dwi was discharged from hospital & is recuperating at home. Irfan got his secretary to contact a surgeon who's specialised in cancer in Singapore to seek medication for Dwi. Fifi went over to a modelling agency to clinch business dealings when she came across Riyan photo. She was surprised at first & then started to think for a plan. Dia came over to visit Dwi when she received the temporary court order that allows her to see Dwi. She was stopped by Irfan's mom & she showed her the document as proof. Pak Irsyad & Dia's mom has worked up a plan to test Dia's patience & independence. They want her to relent & seek their help. Pak Irsyad had ordered Dia's boss to put pressure on her even if he's reluctant to do so. Fifi took sleeping tablets & later called Irfan. She was hospitalised later & then took the opportunity to pour out her feelings. Fifi was adamant to win Irfan over from Dia. Irfan avoided Fifi for sometime & Fifi started to stalk him. She became angry when Irfan did not answer her calls. She then packed her bag & went over to Irfan's house on the pretext that she was thrown out from her apartment by her ex-husband, Ricky. She tried to win the hearts of those close to Irfan ie his mom & Dwi. Dwi was almost hit by Fifi when she refused to be fed by her. Dwi shouted for her dad & grandma but Dia was there to catch her in action. She confronted Fifi but Fifi was quick to react when she saw Irfan. She purposely acted as if she was victimised by Dia. Dia went to Irfan's office to discuss about Dwi but Irfan kept bringing up the past of how he felt cheated when he learnt that Eka was not his son. to be continued........

It was a busy day at work. Juggling between reports & occasional short discussions with my Director in his office. Best of all, there wasnt much interruptions from the others but was irritated by the sound of fire alarm. I was startled when it was first sounded. Damn! The building management is testing the fire system again. That reminds me of the fire drill exercise that'll take place approximately in 3 weeks time. Hmmm.... should I take MC? should I not? *evil grin* I'm not gonna run down the flight of stairs from the 28th storeys again. I hate the aching feeling after that. Bisa sey.... rub Yoko Yoko also no work. *sheesh* Now, I wonder how my mom is coping at home with her sickly condition. I've forgotten to call home to check on her. She has been looking lethargic lately. Poor momma! *hugz* Alamak! I've forgotten to call the 3 part timers whom have replied to my email to take up the 4 days assignment for the upcoming IT show. *slaps forehead* Duh~!! This is what I hate most upon returning from long leave. Nak kena buat tuh, nak kena buat nie...... mabuk sey.

Came back to office with a zombie look. Still feeling tired over the trip , could be due to the continuous walking throughout the KL trip. It was a great experience though for both of us. As usual, work has started piling up in my in-tray. My director was the 1st person to approach me to say that he hope we had a pleasant trip & at the same time, reminded me of the deadline for the budget & forecast reports. Damn! Pantang nampak muka ako si botak nie... Despite the workload, I managed to update my blog on my trip to KL with hubby. *chucklez* Enjin belum panas, so I did something that'll bring my mood up. *LOL* Received a shocking email from the secretary. We were told that one of our Operations staff based in Malaysia office has passed away last Sunday. Another death? *shock* I found out later in the day that the late has fainted & went into coma before he died without regaining conciousness. He'll be remembered as a nice chap, very patient & willing to go the extra mile to render assistance despite his tight working schedules. We knew he had helped the company a lot in running & maintaining his Ops dept. May his soul rest in peace.

2.30 pm - we proceed to Pasar Seni @ KL Sentral. This time we took the monorail as hubby wants to experience taking a ride in it. Damn! It was a long wait when it finally came , from far it seemed liked it was crawling. so s-l-o-w! Duh~! By then, the monorail is already very crowded. Everyone pushed their way in & one Arab woman was pushed away from the hubby & landed on the platform. Poor her! Next stop, we decided to return to BTS as I think I'm well enough to take the rides @ Cosmo Theme Park. *naik kan kening*

4.30 pm - hurray!! we're at BTS 5th floor. Queue up for tix. Midway through the Q, I saw the coaster overturn & twirl round & round & round. *gulp* instaneously, I felt nausea. I excused myself from the Q of people to get out. Nope! I'm not taking the rides..... I think I've got no guts! *bluwekk* Next time perhaps. Hubby laughed at me. *sulked*

5.30 pm - made our way to Jln TAR for the pasar malam.

6.15 pm - best nyer!! the longest pasar malam with varieties of stall. 100% malay. *LOL* stuffs here were much cheaper than at PS, quite worth it. we walk, we eat, we shop.

8.00 pm - made our way home. met a few of hubby's friends who were also on vacation along the way. *shock* the Q at the taxi stand was damn long! mana pergi taxi2 nie semua? carik AM & Arabs lagik ker.... *cuss* I suggested to hubby that we walked further down hoping to find more taxi. Took us 35 mins of waiting when finally, we got 1. we passed by the taxi stand & the Q doesnt seem to budge. my hubby's friend was right, it wasnt easy to get a taxi there. Luckily we were smart. *chucklez*

9.30 pm - reached home. dinner was served hot. yummy! took a rest when hubby suggested we get down to the pool. hurray!

10.30 pm - lights out @ the pool. there wasnt many people hanging around. We just played with the water in the baby pool as both of us din' intend to swim. I dun swim as I cant swim! *LOL* star gazing by the pool & then I pulled my hubby over to the playground.... I sat on the swing & my memory flashed back during childhood where I ever dropped off from the swing & broke a tooth. Since then, I've been paranoid of swing but now not anymore. Weeeee.......!!

11.30 pm - we walked back home. *sigh* it's our last nite in KL.

11.50 pm - good nite!

Day 2 in KL

8.30 am - woke up again after a short nap. changed and then off with my aunt to play squash downstairs. 1st time I had my hands on a sport called "squash" which I often mistook for "tennis". *blushed*

10.00 am - went back to have a quick shower, ironed clothes & get dress up. we're going to a wedding reception. *shock* This was a last minute notice and yes! I've to wear my aunt's baju kurung which was slightly "over-sized" but not too bad. *sticks out tongue*

12.oo noon - left the house for Subang Jaya. Wow! This is the worst. It's so damn congested here @ Subang Jaya that my cousin kept hurling vulgarities *lol* at the vehicles that wouldnt allow her to cross over. We dared not laff as my cousin wasnt in a good mood. She's been grumpy since we arrived. Blamed it on the work pressure.

1.30 pm - Reached the bride's place. I like the tentage colour so soothing. The atmosphere at the wedding here is so much different in Singapore. There wasnt so much crowd. Oh yes!! There's a table specially for the making of "ABC" fully equipped with the ice grinding machine & the ingredients. Ako jadi jakun kejap. *LOL*

2.00 pm - my other cousin came along with his family. Sungguh tak glamour when they went up to me to salam & called "Mak Long"?! *eyes pop out* Yikes! I guess this must be the work of my 'evil' aunt & cousin. I caught them giggling. Duh~!

3.00 pm - We left for home as my cousin 'Kak Lis' has to go back to work. She'd volunteered to drop us somewhere in the city so that we can continue venturing.

3.45 pm - Kak Lis drop us at Globe. We dropped by at Kamdar before we made our way to Jalan Masjid India. We recce the whole JMI & found a mosque at the end of the road. How convenient.

4.50 pm - We went shopping for materials, tudungs etc... for ourselves & family members. Thereafter, we decided to proceed to KLCC.

5.45 pm - We reached KLCC earlier than my friend, Lynn. Both of us were over-whelmed with excitement & satisfaction when we reached KLCC by foot from JMI just by using the twin tower as our direction. Phew!! We sweat it through under the hot sun. No pain no gain, man!

6.00 pm - Hang out at Dome with Lynn for awhile. Had a long chat as we've not met each other quite sometime. Window shopping @ KLCC and later took a stroll around the KLCC garden. We spotted another mosque nearby. I think it was called ' Masjid Asy-Syakirin'. Tak juga ako dok dalam masjid thru' out my 2D trip in KL. *LOL* But I find that it's kinda easy to find mosques in around KL city then in Singapore. I guess its obvious because Malaysia is a Muslim country.

7.40 pm - proceed to Petaling Street. Upon reaching there, we were greeted with large crowd of people especially, the "Ninja Turtles". We decided to recce the whole place before we decided to drop by the stalls to shop.

9.00 pm - We left PS for home. Saw a fleet of taxis flooding the road but none will take us to our destination. Damn! Crossed the road & walk down about 20m & finally, found a cab. Later, we learnt that the fleet of taxis were trying to get "BIG" cash for the night & will only take the Ang Mohs & Arabs. They'll charged them per head instead by taxi meter.

9.45 pm - Finally, home! Had dinner, watched Akademi Fantasia on Astro & later showed my aunt the merchandise we got from PS. We were told we could get better bargain if not for the "Ninja Turtle" season as the prices has been marked up.

10.45 pm - called home in Singapore. Mom... I'm homesick! *sob* I miss my BB - Bantal Buchuk too. Pls hug it for me, mom. I doubt my mom will... *LOL*

11.30 pm - Sweet dreams

Yawnnnnn..... It's a tiring day. Yes! Finally, I'm on leave today. I spent whole day going to and fro from home in Pasir Ris to CGH. MIL has requested that I helped her cook for the younger siblings who'd be back from school in the afternoon while my hubby will stay in the hospital looking after my FIL. Around noon, hubby came home to fetch both MIL & me to hospital. We were told that if all is well, FIL will be discharged tomorrow. Alhamdulillah, now we can go for our holiday in peace. We'd already planned that should my FIL condition does not improve, we'll called off the trip. We're glad that FIL shows positive sign of recovery. Yippeee....!! KL here we come!! Meanwhile, my aunt in KL who is awaiting for our arrival kept calling me if we'd be coming over as she has made special arrangement for us. Oops! I've forgotten to inform her about the change of plan. Scheisse! I've been so forgetful lately. Oh yeah! There wont be any synopsis on Dia as I missed the show. *sob* We reached home at 11pm and Dia is about to end so I dun bother to watch. No syiokk.... no head no tail suddenly you see this - To be continued... I had a quick shower & had a late dinner before starting to pack our clothes. Right now, I'm blogging to update the day's event. Guess, I've to log off now as I had to wake up early tomorrow to catch the morning coach..... good nite bloggers!

I'm supposed to be on leave today but it has to be cancelled due to some video presentation works which need some touching up. I hate it when this happen. I just wonder why it always has to happen when I've applied my leave. They (my boss & that manager) wont allow me to "getaway" in peace. I cant simply switch off my mobile phone or my family members will have difficulty reaching me. That explains why I sometimes hate the ringing & buzzing sound of mobile phones. But I cant deny it actually allow me to stay connected round the clock. *roll eyes* I came to office and headed straight to see one of the Accounts staff who's handling HR to assist me with the cancellation of my leave. And yes! We'll be going to KL but we'll be leaving on Friday, later than scheduled. My hubby had SMS to say that my FIL has to be admitted as he'd have to go through another surgery to remove the stone found in his bladder. Poor FIL! May he have a speedy recovery....

For some reasons, I just simply cant be bothered by the attitude of some people. It's your life live it as you wish.... I dun give a DAMN! I believe in freedom of speech & thoughts. Da heck with what people think of you. It was indeed very frustrating when a task is completed & someone came along & tell you " ... I think there's more to it" Wadda heck! Should've told me earlier, arschloch! On the other hand, there're people who simply LOVE to live in great pretence. On the surface, they looked goody-gooey but once you turned your back they started to back-stab you. Ahh.... that's not unusual. They can sweet talk till you flew sky high then when things dun go well, they bad-mouthed you & all.... Ohh!! That does not happened only in working environment. It happened everywhere ..... anywhere. So beware of those whom you share your feelings too. You never know if they're sincere enough or true to their words. To stay where you are now & suffer less, know your way to bull-shitting! *LOL* Oh yes!! Kena pandai mengampu, membodek, menipu & yg sewaktu dengannya. Being nice, sincere, honest & faithful just dont get you anywhere. How to make yourself belong to a company? Simple. They laugh you laugh, they curse you curse, they talk you listen, they need help you must be eager to volunteer and the list goes on..... and on....and on. Easy? But for me, I'd rather stand firmly where I am. To achieve your desire, you must work your way through, withstand all criticism, turn a deaf ears to what they have to say about you & just do what you've to do. When they're tired they'll stop. That's life. *shrugz*

It was a cool busy Monday. I had a presentation in the office for half a day. Alhamdulillah.... everything went smoothly. Back in the blog, I was "hunted" by the MII bloggers for pictures! *gulp!* heh...heh.....I kept low for a moment & quickly, seek the assistance of my kind MIS to upload the pictures. Nahh....looks like this time I've to wait for him since he's been "chased" after by couple of people around the office. He's the only IT personnel in the office & thus, everyone has to wait for their turn. So to those who has been asking for the pictures, they're up now for viewing. I stayed late just to finish the uploading whilst clearing my month-end shit. See? I'm a nice gal right...... :P Oh yeah! The pressure to look at the photos were so intense especially when she kept MSNing every now & then. Haaa.....this time I've the server to blame. I'm not the only one in the office lah deyy... thus, the "traffic" is a lil' bit busy. Ah-hah! Next will be rozas turn to get the pictures uploaded ASAP! :P

Congratulations to Adil & Herdayu!! Finally, Adil found someone who has captured his heart after years of looking around for a perfect bride. His wedding was a grande.... peh susah nak carik tempat duduk sampai kena tawaf the whole place. Semoga berbahagia hingga ke syurga....
