2nd entry this year.

I wrote my previous entry in Jan early this year and now it's May and it's another entry from me. So looking at the pace I'm writing it seems that I only will be writing for errrr about 3 times a year.. hm.. that bad huh.. Looking back for the past 5-6 mths... there were lots of things happened, which are meant to happen.. and it's not easy for me to catch up, and to keep myself running at the same pace as the time flies. I think that the word 'time flies' is not relevant anymore...time does not fly at all - it just went missing and i couldnt find it anymore.. if time flies, i'm pretty sure that i could still run to catch up with it...

Yes Famil, I'm still here... walaupun tak de entry in my blog.. i'm a silent reader of your blog. Cuma masa tak cukup for me to write, tak pe lah.. from time to time, i'll drop few words in here ok...

Few updates:

- I've just transferred to a new division in my organisation. I'm now in Eur0pe Section.

- Hubby is doing his CFA now

- Kids are doing great. Irfan dah 6 bulan in primary, so far he's ok, cuma malas sikit - typical male student la... nak tgk tv or main games jer. Ilhan is 4 this year - very talkative & naughty - we call him 'the culprito' coz he's the main culprit in the house. Kalau adik dia nangis ke, or abang dia menjerit ke - tak lain tak bukan, dia lah punca tu. Izzad now dah 19 mths but looks like 3+ yrs old. He's very tall and big for his age. Kalau dia sit next to Ilhan, people would say mcm sebaya.

- No improvements / value added things done for Sri Utama... budget seems very tight. But soon, very soon- in 2 weeks time the gurun sahara kat depan rumah akan menjadi ala-ala padang golf.... :)

- Bibik is going home in 3 mths time. Desperately i'm looking for a new one now, i've checked with agency .. errrrr... to get a new one, i need 6k+..... to save cost, so kalau sesapa nak cari keje as my maid, pls sms me. I'll promise i'll be a good majikan, tak de nak dera-dera, or cucuh api ke, or ketuk ngan mug ke... (Famil, hope u'll be interested - for you - medical benefits pun ada :)

- I'm going to negara matahari terbit next week, bukan vacation... biasa la keje la....biasanya kalau travel, kebiasaannya mesti sengsorang diri, makan sorang2, jenjalan sorang2 but this time hubby will tag along...

Ok. next entry would be after i come back from jupun. see ya'

Thanks my darling. " You Complete Me"

Berubah angin

Kesian blog... dah lama kena tinggal... bukan apa.... busy and malas tahap gaban... there were so many things to be done in last couple of months, and i've only got this pair of hand and a brain...

And it's difficult when you are trusted by your superior to handle several VERY IMPORTANT things like creating action plan and reporting for IMP*3, or to attend high profile meeting on her behalf.. or even to represent her during a conference... trust me it's not that easy... i couldn't simply sit there, looking pretty, and taking down notes.. (how i wish i could only do that..) i have to speak out on any matter related to my organization.. and it's very distressing, knowing the facts that almost all of the people who are looking at me hold very important position in their organization.

I attended a meeting in Putrajaya the other day.. again, representing my boss.. and when i got there, i realized that the meeting was chaired by a Deputy Minister.. my Gosh.. and I felt like hiding under the table, and i had this wild imagination that somehow the building would be on fire and everybody would have to escape. But there I was.. again sitting there like a helpless chicken.. And worse still, on my left, there was this Dato' from this Ministry.. and on my right, there was another Dato from a govt agency. Gosh!! And exhanging call card was another painful moments for me.... terasa kecik dan halus diri ini...

However, that was a good experience I guess... hehehe...

On another note, selepas berfikir.. dan fikir.. dan berfikir lagi.. i decided that i need a change... i've been in this division for 3 years... and i've done LOTS of report writing, analysis of trade.. and other things as well. Perhaps, i need to move on to other units and do something different. I guess it's the time now...

Penagih tegar

I've read in newspaper about penagih tegar... yang keluar masuk pusat serenti.
And now I have a confession.

I'm a penagih tegar.

And this is my new 'addiction'. .. and please come and join me as penagih tegar.

p/s: orang kedah kata kalau degil tu 'ketegaq'.. agaknya it comes from the word tegar.

He's Yours!

Mooney and I used to be a big fan of romantic comedy movie. And we love this movie 'My best friend's wedding' so much and we could watch the movie like hundred times without getting bored.. and we could actually memorize some of the script!!

And when I stepped into the grand hall of Dewan Tun Rahah, I heard this song:

Wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' each night of his charms.
That won't get you into his arms
So if your're looking for love you can share
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.
Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',Wishin' and hopin'.'
Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!And after you do, you will be his.
You gotta show him that you care just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair just for him, 'cause,
You won't get him, thinkin' and a prayin',Wishin' and a hopin'.'
Cause wishin', and hopin', and thinkin', and prayin',
Planning and dreamin' his kisses will start.
That won't get you into his heart!
So if you're thinking how great true love is!
All you gotta to is hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him.
Yeah, just do it!
And after you do, you will be his.
You will be his.
You will be his!

My heart melted. I was stunned. Cam tak boleh nak cakap apa-apa.
I love this song very much.
So does Moezni.

About the bride.
the first week in the Bloomington, she tagged me along with her to watch a musical 'Evita Peroni'.... hehehe.. I was/am not a theather person, so having the thought to watch a musical was like eaaawwwww... and that one the longest 3 hours in the cinema... hehehe.. but then somehow.. cam terjatuh chenta and we watched the movie for the 2nd time a week after... hehehehhe.... and sometimes, I did follow her to watch live musical performed in our uni like 'MacBeth'.. and 'Miss Saigon'...and few others.

She's a lovely person... she felt guilty everytime we 'accidentally' mengumpat orang.. and she felt so bad about it which make me wonder 'am i such a bad influence on her?'... she loves to eat, but she cant cook.. heheh.. she tried, but ok lah.. edible.

She's sweet and caring. She bought me chocolates... lots of chocolates. Always. But when she realized that I dont really like chocolate, she ate it, but she felt guilty about it. Then tomorrow, she would buy me ice-cream, and when she realized that I dont really like ice-cream, she ate the whole pint of Bens&Jerry.. and felt guilty about it. Then, next week, she would buy me, again, chocolate.. the story goes on.... :)

Hadiah apa eerkkk??

Moez** was my housematewhile we were studying in Bloomington IN, and she is getting married tomorrow. For the past two days, i couldnt stop to think about her wedding present.. Apa lagi ler nak bagi errkkkkk.... I have certains criteria kalo nak bagi hadiah kat org especially kalau hadiah kawin:

• -the present must be very practical, means... benda tu boleh digunakan... berbaloi
• pinggan mangkuk, gelas-melas is a BIG no no... ramai sgt org bagi hadiah ni.. silap haribulan pengantin terpaksa 'sedekah' hadiah kat sedara mara
• cadar/comforter set - good choice tapi kena tanya pengantin dia guna queen or king...
• barang perhiasan cam crystal vase, frame/posters, wall clock - pun ok tapi kalau pengantin tak suka camne? nanti end up dlm store dia...
• electrical/electronic stuff.. bagus gak... oven/ vacuum pun bagus tapi kena buat collection ramai-ramai
• rice cooker / toaster/ sandwich maker / coffee maker /iron - believe me.. ni pun banyak gak org bagi.. even masa my brother kawin ari tu, dia dapat 3 rice cooker... hehehe.. terpaksa dia 'sedekah' satu kat akak dia.. hehehehe...
• photo album .. ni pun ramai org bagi gak...

the last wedding present i bought was for my colleague was a 'cooking utensils'.... she did tell me that i was the only one who gave her such present.. and indeed she like it so much because she wouldnt need to buy those things... guees what i got for her? ... i bought her 7 pcs of cooking utensils termasuk segala sudip/senduk untuk menggoreng, masak sup, masak pasta, senduk nasi, etc.....

and i bought a vacum cleaner for my brother...

so for my friend, i just did my shopping.. i bought her... something that she and her husband could use... and they tak boleh 'sedekah' to other sedara mara.... to ensure that, i got their name - M****I and M***N 'diletakkan' on both of the barang.... hehehe.... i bought two, so that they dont have to fight for the gift.. heheheh...

Salam Aidilfitri
